Before everything goes out

This thing looks like a wasp, but it's definitely not a wasp.

Where the bee's head should be, a human head the size of a fist is instead placed on top.

Although the head is small, all five facial features are present.

Beneath the tangled tufts of long hair were gaping mouths, and inside those mouths, one could see a row of neat human teeth.

Looking at the extremely bizarre creature before him, Li Fei broke out in a cold sweat, yet dared not make a move.

As it turns out, he was right.

"Don't move them, they're hornets, they'll walk away on their own."

A warning came from behind.

Li Fei dared not look back. In his direct view, all he could see were countless hovering human-headed wasps and the horrified expressions on the faces of the other people.

Ma Zi's legs trembled, and A Ji's expression froze.

Of the trio, Melon Head reacted the least, perhaps because he was completely terrified.

"Don't move."

It sounds easy, but it's actually incredibly difficult.

As the buzzing vibrations drew closer, more and more hornets crawled onto Li Fei's body and began to burrow into his sleeves and trouser legs.

Itching, tingling.

The sensation of insects crawling all over his body sent shivers down his spine and made his hair stand on end.

In particular, when he saw those fist-sized human heads, spinning eerily and flying up and down in front of him.

At that moment, every cell in his body was screaming.

"Hold..."

Li Fei cursed under his breath, gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind; once he could no longer see the strange appearance of this thing, he indeed calmed down a lot.

"ah!!!"

Screams erupted, and finally someone broke down.

It's Ah Ji.

Under intense pressure, his already fragile rationality finally snapped.

In everyone's trembling vision, Ah Ji's expression was ferocious and terrifying as he screamed and waved his arms to drive away the hornets.

This action completely enraged the bee swarm.

It wasn't a sting, it was a bite.

The little mouths opened wide and bit him without reservation.

Not only those that were already on him, but also many of those on other people around him flew over.

The numerous bee legs that had been crawling on Li Fei's face, obscuring his vision, were mostly gone, allowing him to see the gruesome scene more clearly.

Ears, eyes, intestines, internal organs.

Tearing at by countless mouths, Ah Ji was devoured before he could run two steps, leaving only a pile of remains.

"They'll leave once they've eaten their fill."

Snake Seven was right.

The chilling gnawing sounds lasted for a full minute.

Once they had gnawed all the meat off the skeleton, the swarm of bees buzzed away and disappeared completely into the forest.

Even so, everyone remained frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.

Because the leader, Snake Seven, didn't speak.

"You can move now."

Half a minute later, the eyes on Snake Seven's mask finally relaxed.

Seeing him move around, the others finally relaxed.

The first thing I did was go and see Ah Ji's body.

Unrecognizable, steaming hot, and reeking of blood.

"damn it..."

"Are these mutant wasps really that powerful?"

"That's fucking terrifying."

The group of people were only solemn in their expressions at Ah-Ji's death, but they didn't feel much.

Aside from a churning sensation in my stomach and a feeling of nausea, I felt nauseous.

In this world, death is nothing out of the ordinary.

Snake Seven didn't even glance at it again, still staring in the direction the human-headed hornet had left, seemingly deep in thought.

"Ah-Chi...rest in peace..."

Only Gua Tou knelt on the ground, scooped up a few handfuls of soil with his hands, and covered the bloody, mangled skull as a form of burial.

Li Fei saw that there were tears glistening in his eyes.

After all, they've been friends for over ten or twenty years, so this is normal.

On the other hand, look at the pockmarked face.

His face remained expressionless; instead, when Gua Tou tried to take Ah Ji's wood-chopping knife, he stopped him.

"What are you taking? It's a dead man's stuff; it's bad luck to take it."

Glancing at Ma Zi and then at Ah Ji's corpse, Gua Tou nodded, reluctantly throwing away the wood-chopping knife.

The group set off again.

The atmosphere is inevitably heavy when someone dies.

There was no small talk, no small talk, just silent journey.

Fortunately, the destination isn't far off. Just another hour or so of walking and we'll be aligned with the location on the fitness tracker...

and many more.

Something seems off.

After passing through another grove of trees, Li Fei stopped.

"Am I just imagining things?"

He looked at the bracelet.

If I'm not mistaken, in the more than an hour since noon, the distance between him and the rings doesn't seem to have decreased.

uncertain.

After staring at the bracelet for a while, he finally realized that this was not his imagination.

"Uncle Snake, look..."

Sensing something amiss, Li Fei immediately spoke up.

Several people gathered around and looked at the map in his hand.

"After leaving that open space at noon, we walked for over an hour, and it felt like we were just going in circles... That doesn't make sense, does it?"

Snake Seven glanced at the map and squinted:

Are you sure?

"Yes, I've been watching it."

After seeing Li Fei nod, Snake Seven fell silent, his eyes narrowed with a subtle expression.

"Snake Uncle knows this mountain very well. With him leading the way, there shouldn't be any problems."

Niu Wenbing stepped forward and touched and fiddled with Li Fei's bracelet.

"Is there a chance this thing will break?"

"Probably not. Look, it can be zoomed in and out."

Li Fei said this, but he wasn't sure in his heart.

The signal is bad in these mountains. After the disaster, there may not be many satellites left in the sky, so it's not impossible for the location to be problematic.

"I knew this ring was unreliable."

The man with pockmarks next to him said something irritatingly, then sat down and rubbed his legs.

After circling around the surrounding woods, Snake Seven made a decision.

"Let's walk for another half hour and see. If it really is a maze, then we'll think of something else."

talking.

He brandished his knife, repeatedly hacking at the surrounding trees to make marks.

The others followed his example and left more road signs.

Can you get lost in a maze during the day?

Looking at the sunlight filtering through the woods, Li Fei felt puzzled, but didn't ask aloud.

He couldn't think of a better solution for the time being, so he could only trust Snake Seven.

Judging from what happened to the hornet just now, this person seems difficult to get along with, but he's actually not bad. At least, as Liu Yongxiao said, he's a qualified guide.

The group set off again.

Half an hour later, at 2 PM.

Sure enough, they saw the markings they had made before again.

The cross-shaped knife was quite conspicuous, and it was used to cut the tree right in front of them.

"This is going to be difficult."

As Snake Seven's expression grew increasingly serious, the others finally believed Li Fei's words.

They were definitely lost.
