Returning from the abyss

Chapter 39 Attack
Another night that should have been free from nightmares.

Lu Ning got up early in the morning, put on her backpack and walked out of the room.Today, she plans to go for a walk on the mountain, and take a look at the "cannibal cave" that has been rumored to be miraculous.

This cave is located near a cliff in the depths of the mountain forest, and there are few animals around. Some brave people once went in to see it, but they found a large number of animal and human bones only a few tens of meters away, and they dared not go deep right away. This kind of description has been passed down from time to time, and it has gradually become the legend of "Cannibal Cave".

It was, of course, one of those ten strange events.

When I went downstairs this time, a group of people had already gathered in the hall.Xiao Shifan was talking to Yuan Xi, when he saw Lu Ning approaching from the corner of the eye, he raised his hand and said hello: "Hey, didn't I scare you that day?"

"No." Lu Ning nodded as a response, and with a glance, she found that besides Xiao Shifan and Yuan Xi, there were three young men with ghosts behind them, and a middle-aged man in a camouflage uniform.

"We plan to go up the mountain today. It would be even better if there is a chance to go hunting. Are you interested?"

Xiao Shifan sent out an invitation when he saw Lu Ning sized up a few of himself.

Lu Ning glanced at Yuan Xi, and asked hesitantly, "Will it be inconvenient?"

"Please share the guide's money with us. If you join, you can pay less." One of the young people said immediately.Yuan Xi followed suit and nodded: "I heard that the mountains are not peaceful recently, and we plan to go with a few more people."

"Just say why it's not peaceful, and I can't take so many people with me." The middle-aged man in camouflage suddenly spoke, with a strong accent, "There are so many people who can't take care of you, you have to pay attention to your own safety."

"You don't have to worry about safety."

Yuan Xi patted her bag, "You only need to warn us."

Seeing her action, Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Well, I plan to go up the mountain today too, so I won't bother you."

A girl joined, and several young people warmly welcomed them, and they introduced themselves on the way.

The one who tried it in the hotel at first was Fei Yunwei, who had a cynical personality and was very detached; the tall and thin one with glasses was named Gao Yunji, with a poisonous mouth, but he had a good attitude towards women. It seems to belong to a relatively calm person; the last one is called Liu Changan, who always smiles. He speaks softly and is the most handsome among the three. He seems to have received a good education and has an outstanding temperament.

After getting to know each other, the group took a car to the foot of the mountain.

There are not many steep mountains in Danma, but there are many forests, and the undulating mountains are connected to form a very special environment. The difficulty of climbing a mountain is no less than that of climbing a high mountain.When the sun was approaching noon, the seven people walked into the area that could be called the forest. At the suggestion of the guide, they stopped and started to have lunch.

"Director Zhong, there have been a lot of people in Danma in recent years, right? Why hasn't there been a proper road on the mountain?" Fei Yunwei started talking to the guide as soon as he sat down.

"I'm used to walking on mountain roads. Gentle slopes are not dangerous."

Director Zhong seemed to be very proud of his identity as a local, and his eyebrows were beaming when he said it: "You guys who are from other places, lack of exercise, and you will start to feel tired after climbing seven or eight hundred."

"Hey, Director Zhong, you also know that we usually don't climb mountains everywhere. This is the first time for this undeveloped deep mountain and old forest. You have to take us for a while."

"It's easy to say, there are no beasts in this area, so it's safe!"

is it safe?
Lu Ning glanced at the wisps of black air not far away, and remained silent.

Fei Yunwei's temperament is very suitable for chatting with people, and Liu Chang'an helped guide the topic without any trace, and soon it was related to the strange things on the mountain.When mentioning the rumors of the cannibal cave, Director Zhong showed disdain: "It's just a beast cave. So many people are afraid of it. I went in once!"

"Really? What's going on there?"

"There is a stench inside, so there must be a beast inside." Director Zhong waved his hand, "But no one has seen it for so many years, I'm afraid there is another way out."

Xiao Shifan and Yuan Xi looked at each other, then nodded indiscernibly.

At the same time, Lu Ning suddenly felt the black air around him thicken, and immediately raised his vigilance.At the same time, there was a rustling sound in the bushes, and all the people present were on high alert. As soon as there was a sound, several people jumped up immediately!

Bang!
An ax swirled towards him and nailed it to a tree. Although it was more than a meter away from the original target, Gao Yunji, it was enough to show that the comer was not kind.

"What are you doing!"

Director Zhong exclaimed, but no one paid any attention to him now. A dozen or so people wearing gas masks and mountaineering suits with wide hoods emerged from the bushes in all directions, carrying axes and hatchets in their hands. The weapon began to slowly approach them.

"Who are you!"

Fei Yunwei yelled, but got no response.He also made preparations before going out, with a saber in his hand, but who knew that he would encounter a situation like being surrounded by more than a dozen people?Then again, why was the last mountain surrounded by people of unknown origin?
"Stay away!"

Gao Yunji reached out and pulled the ax down, raised it up and threatened loudly.As a man with a hammer approached, he swung an ax and slashed across.

when!
With a crisp sound, the opponent raised the hammer, and the metal handle just blocked the attack of the axe. Then he pushed forward hard, took Gao Yunji back two steps, and swung the hammer with his hand to smash it down!

They are going to kill.

Lu Ning's eyes froze slightly. This group of strange people appeared very abruptly, and they had the intention of killing people when they came up. It can almost be concluded that they are related to the main line of the whole incident.

Just then, a gunshot fired.

Xiao Shifan and Yuan Xi pulled out their pistols at some point, and Xiao Shifan fired first, directly hitting the head of the man who attacked Gao Yunji.A cloud of blood splashed out, and the man fell down without saying a word.Immediately afterwards, Yuan Xi pointed the gun at the rest of the people who surrounded him, and when he realized that they were unmoved, he immediately disconnected the gun!
The hot weapon instantly reversed the strength of the two sides. After six people were shot and killed, the crowd began to retreat as if they had received some orders, leaving behind several corpses.

At this time, the guide was frightened.

"check!"

Yuan Xi cautiously poked the nearest corpse with his gun, and shouted to the others.

"Wait." Lu Ning raised her hand to stop Yuan Xi, picked up a relatively thick branch and pulled it on the face of the corpse, easily peeling off the gas mask.

No, rather than saying that Lu Ning pulled it off, it would be better to say that the mask fell off by itself.The "person" inside has turned into a puddle of fleshy paste, white and red tissues mixed together, exuding an unpleasant stench, and there are not even bones in it.

"What is this!" Fei Yunwei was shocked when he saw this scene.

Lu Ning rubbed the sticky sticks on the grass blades twice. The naked eye could see that the grass had turned yellow and withered. She immediately threw the sticks aside and shook her hands in disgust.Yuan Xi walked a few steps away with lingering fear, and was about to speak when a scream came from behind him!
Several people hurriedly turned their heads, just in time to see Director Zhong being hugged by a hooded man, a large amount of meat paste flowed out from the gap between the head of the hood and the mask, pouring directly on Director Zhong's head and face, accompanied by a terrible "sizzling" There was a sound, but after a while Mrs. Gong fell to the ground, only slowly twitching her body.

"Hey! This... This guy is not dead yet?" Fei Yunwei looked around several corpses with a pale face, fearing that any of them would suddenly move.

"Check it out, make up..." Before Xiao Shifan could finish his sentence, Zhong Dao's body over there suddenly bounced off the ground, and a large amount of meat paste slowly gathered on the head of the corroded bones, and a sound came from the hole in his throat. After letting out an extremely miserable roar, he could still slowly walk towards the crowd in this way!

Even though everyone present had experienced many strange incidents, such a scene still made them feel horrified. Xiao Shifan immediately raised his gun and shot at this body, which didn't know whether it was dead or alive. After it fell down in response Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are... all dead?"

Fei Yunwei asked.Lu Ning took the branches and poked them one by one, making sure they were still there.

"I knew something was wrong with Danma!" Gao Yunji snorted coldly, walked up to Dao Zhong's body with an axe, and picked off the hoodie with only some meat paste left inside, revealing the miserable scene underneath. dead body.

"Ming people don't talk dark words, everyone is from the distribution center." Yuan Xi lowered his hand holding the gun, but his expression was still vigilant, "At first, everyone didn't want to point out the reasons for each, but now that we have confirmed who was killed Things have been targeted, let’s form an alliance, if we continue to disperse like this, we might all die.”

"Ha, I was waiting for your words." Gao Yunji readily agreed, "We are seekers, I wonder if we are in the same camp as you?"

"Even if it's a task of confrontation, the premise is survival. It's easy to harm others if you hold the prejudice of the camp. But we are also pursuers, and I believe we have no fundamental conflict of interest." After Yuan Xi finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Lu Ning .

"I'm a mystery seeker."

When Lu Ning opened her mouth, she said something that stunned several people.

"Unfortunately, I am different from your camp. I belong to the minority camp, but this identity does not necessarily conflict with you. Temporary cooperation is also possible."

"We have another way." Gao Yunji's face suddenly changed, and he raised his ax to aim at Lu Ning, "Killing you is also a good choice."

——It seems that people who have gone through the testing field several times are also more suspicious of others.

This thought flashed in Lu Ning's mind, but her face didn't change: "It makes sense, but compared to someone with a clear identity like me, if there are people who hide their identities among you, it will be more troublesome, right?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Shifan frowned.

"Although the Seekers are currently the largest faction, what is the probability that all five of you are Seekers? Do you really believe in this kind of coincidence?"

"But it is a fact that you are not in the same camp as us." Gao Yunji said.

"What did Yuan Xi just say? Survival is priority. Let me make an inference. As the majority faction, each of you actually has the least amount of information. On the contrary, I may have a lot of relevant information in my hand. ..."

"possible?"

"It's not that I don't have teammates." Lu Ning smiled, "Do you think that while you deduce that others are tourists in the distribution center, don't I deduce your identities? If I fail to meet up with my teammates on time, do you think you can relax?" Dodge covert retaliation?"

"It's empty talk." Xiao Shifan said, "You say that you don't conflict with our mission, we can't believe it."

"It seems that the cooperation mentioned before is all a lie? It's a pity..."

"That's not a lie." Yuan Xi said, "I hope to reach a temporary cooperation, but I don't want someone to stab me in the back. I need a proof—"

"The weapon is in your hands." Lu Ning raised her hand, "I have nothing on me that can be used as a weapon. My advantage lies in information. I also try to use this to trade with you, but some people are too suspicious."

Gao Yunji sneered and refused to refute.Liu Changan touched his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, didn't everyone go up the mountain together and plot against each other? The danger now comes from the outside. I think it's okay for us to unite first."

"I have no objection." Fei Yunwei shrugged.
