I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 312 Sleepless Night

According to the notes in the manual, the location where Ling Yun and the others were teleported is right next to tunnel No. 19, and the nearest shelter to them is just two kilometers away.

Ling Yun speculated that this should be a safe place specially repaired by the military in order to facilitate the adjustment of various investigation teams.

At this time, the temperature in the forest was about 26 degrees. Due to the heavy humidity in the forest, the moss under the feet was also very slippery; in addition, there were almost ubiquitous red poisonous mushrooms and the howling of unknown creatures deep in the forest. , everyone had to slow down to avoid making too much noise.

Although it is still daytime, it is completely dark in the densely populated areas. If you don't use lighting equipment, you can't see the road ahead at all.

"According to the records in the manual, it is currently known that there are dozens of extremely dangerous mutated creatures in the forest, including villagers and savages who have mutated after being infected by poisonous bacteria. Judging from our current situation, no matter what kind we encounter, It’s going to be very difficult.”

Su Li checked the equipment in his backpack. Although everyone has a sapper shovel, it is far from enough to deal with the creatures in the manual.

"What are these things..." Zhao Sicheng briefly flipped through the manual, and his expression became more serious: "With the monsters and ghosts running rampant in this forest, it's no wonder that those troops didn't come out. Everyone will suffer. Can't stop."

"We have to find a way to get some weapons, such as guns." Wei Chongming said.The most uncomfortable of all people now is naturally him.He who had always kept his weapons on his body was deprived of his abilities this time, and was sent to such a place full of monsters. Just listening to Su Li's description, he was already scratching his head in anxiety.

"Chongming is right, we need guns to deal with those mutated beasts and savages." Hubert also echoed: "According to intelligence clues, the Marchek team entered the forest the next day, and the local savages There was a conflict. The military guards shot and killed the savages and mutant creatures, and sorted out the information."

"Since the military has intervened in the forest many times over the years, those who have not returned...should have left a lot of weapons in the forest." Tang Yao said cautiously: "If their bodies can be found, maybe we can Picked up something useful."

There seems to be some kind of special magnetic field in the woods, which directly affects the use of the compass.Fortunately, there were marks left by the vanguard after the exploration on the surrounding trees. Following these instructions, everyone arrived at the first shelter before dark.

However, the shelter in front of them was much simpler than what they had imagined before. Everyone thought it was a safe house specially built by the army, but in fact, the so-called shelters were indeed the houses where the dead villagers lived.

There is a chimney on the roof, and the surrounding walls and windows are broken and covered with cobwebs; compared to the forest outside and those monsters that appear and disappear, this hut is like a flat boat in the vast ocean, which will be blown away by strong winds and waves at any time turn.

The area of ​​the wooden house is about [-] to [-] square meters. After entering the house, everyone found that the military has carried out a simple "renovation" here: the ground of the house is covered with twisted and twisted black lines like centipedes. There were dusty glass bottles and jars and mildew on the floor.

Everyone walked around the house and found that there are three rooms in total.

What surprised Ling Yun was that he didn't expect much from this place, but he didn't expect that there was a generator and two desk lamps in the house; besides that, there were many supplies available, such as gasoline, matches, metal Wait.

Under Su Li's command, Zhao Sicheng turned on the generator and energized the house.Soon, there was a hissing sound from the desk lamp on the table in the room, and the bulb lighted up faintly. Although the dim light was not enough to illuminate the entire room, it was much more convenient than the flashlight before.

At this moment, Ling Yun's attention was attracted by an inconspicuous gas stove in the corner of the living room: there are many metal pipes of different thicknesses connected to the belly of the stove below the stove. These pipes are spread throughout the room, which looks a bit like an old-fashioned radiator.The furniture in the wooden house has been preserved, and the living objects left by the previous owner can be seen in many places.

Only this gas stove looks so out of place. Judging from the exterior, this is a device specially modified and installed by the military.

Ling Yun flipped through the manual, and there was an important record on it: You are not allowed to stay in the forest at night, and you must find a shelter as soon as possible.

Once inside the shelter, the gas stove is turned on and left to burn overnight.The "protective substance" emitted by the gas stove can resist the invasion of [those things]. As long as you stay in the shelter, your chances of surviving in the dark can be greatly improved.

But even so, you still can't relax your vigilance.Remember: don't fall asleep before dawn.

At dusk, the temperature in the forest also dropped a lot.Everyone didn't wear much at all, and at this moment they were shivering from the cold.Ling Yun turned on the gas stove according to the instructions in the manual, and as the steam rose, soon, a warm and pleasant smell filled the whole room.

"This is better, but it's not enough." Zhao Sicheng rubbed his nose, looked at the broken walls and windows around, and couldn't help complaining: "Let's make up for it, even if we can't stop the monster, it's still good." Can keep out the wind."

On the other side, Ren Yao carefully observed a certain damaged wall, and said, "These walls and glass were not damaged naturally, but were destroyed during a fight. It looks like some kind of beast."

Not only that, he also noticed the black dirt left on the floor and some walls, and those things were all dried blood.

"So the shelter is not absolutely safe. The manual only says that staying here can increase the survival rate. But if we don't enter the shelter at night, we will definitely die. Obviously, this gas stove is the key to survival." Hubert Walking around the gas stove, I couldn't help but look outside the house: "I'm curious, what kind of substance is burned here. And what will this forest look like after nightfall?"

"There is only one thing I care about now." Zhao Sicheng rubbed his stomach, his expression looked very distressed: "What do we eat these days? The mushrooms in the forest are poisonous, and the meat of those mutant creatures cannot be eaten. Bark and grass roots, right?"

In front of the lamp table, Su Li was still studying the manual carefully.As the night was about to face attacks from the outside world, Shen Tinglan decided to take other people to reinforce the surroundings of the room.

Hubert and Wei Chongming moved the wardrobe and wooden bed near the damaged wall of the room; while Shen Tinglan found some tools and planned to seal the windows with wooden boards.

However, at this moment, Zhao Sicheng suddenly discovered that two pheasants appeared in the open space not far from the wooden house.According to the manual, there are indeed some uninfected edible creatures in the forest.

"Our dinner is here!" Zhao Sicheng lowered his voice and said to everyone.

"I'm the best at catching chickens. I used to help my grandma catch these guys when I was a child in the countryside." Xiaolong volunteered to stand up.

The two hit it off, quietly opened the door, and walked out of the wooden house with a low waist.

The forest at dusk was silent and gloomy, the wind whizzed coldly, and the rustling of the leaves could be heard from time to time.

Two pheasants wandered around the open space, pecking at the turf on the ground, without sensing the approach of Xiaolong and Zhao Sicheng behind them.

The setting sun gradually disappeared, and the light in the woods gradually dimmed.Suddenly, a ray of light emerged from the night sky and was reflected in the pupils of a crow on the tree.

The crow suddenly uttered a hoarse and obscure cry, and flapped its wings and flew away from the tree.

As if sensing something, Ling Yun raised his head, only to find that the dark clouds were slowly withdrawing from the sky, showing the moon bit by bit, but this was not keeping the clouds open to see the moon, the moon hanging in the sky was actually glowing. The strange red color of blood.

"No, Fatty, Xiaolong, come back quickly!"

With Ling Yun's sudden cry, the two pheasants ran away in fright, and got into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Zhao Sicheng just wanted to blame the other party for disturbing the prey, but then, he suddenly found a strange noise coming from the dark forest ahead.

Accompanied by the sound of flapping pheasant wings, under the scarlet moonlight, a group of bloody and terrifying creatures suddenly emerged from the woods!
