Chapter 234: A Rare Human Trace
As time went by, the group of people got further and further away from the cave, but looking ahead, the distance to the waterfall didn't seem to shorten at all. -》
The wretched man was so angry that he started chopping at random. Bai Chi fully understood his character and did not stop him. Shen Li hurriedly said: "Wang Heping, what are you doing?"
Shen Li's words were completely more effective than Bai Chi's. The wretched man stopped the next moment, but his face was very ugly and he said:
"When will this end?"
Faced with this phenomenon, Baichi could only keep silent. The waterfall in front of him would take about two days to walk at least, so explaining was completely futile. It seemed that he had to find a way to replenish his strength. Otherwise, if he could reach his destination with his life, he would probably not be able to walk out with his life.
Bai Chi's unhurried and unhurried temper made the wretched man feel a little pained. He turned around and looked at Bai Chi and asked:
"Boss, aren't you in a hurry?"
Since experiencing these life-and-death-threatening things, Bai Chi has completely let go. Looking at the inquiring eyes of the wretched man, he smiled and said:
"It's no use, can you grow wings and fly over?" [
But as soon as he said these words, Bai Chi suddenly froze, and hurriedly raised his head to look up. The lush leaves had covered the sky above his head, and along the way, he didn't even see a bird...
When I thought about it carefully, I couldn't find anything alive except for the four people.
The wretched man was obviously aware of this, and his expression was very ugly when he looked at Bai Chi. What on earth is this place? There are no other creatures...
Is there a creature at the top of the food chain here? But it's unrealistic to think about it. Since all the animals are gone, it must be impossible for it to survive.
Shen Li surprisingly had no objection at this moment, and the wretched man sighed and continued to chop in front.
This time the efficiency is not as high as before, but as long as we move forward, there is nothing to worry about.
It took nearly half an hour to walk a distance of 500 meters. Bai Chi picked up his phone and took a look. What was frustrating was that there was no signal at all, and what was confusing was that it was already past six o'clock.
When I was in the cave, I had no sense of time at all, because the darkness made me think about time. But it's different now. With the reference objects around me, even if I don't actively think about it, I will slowly feel the time in my heart. the passage of.
Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, the wretched man suddenly stopped moving and looked ahead motionlessly. At first, Bai Chi was startled by him, thinking that the wretched man had let something bite him, but when Bai Chi walked over and planned to ask At that time, I was stunned for a moment.
In front of a few people was an open space with four tents erected on the open space. After a brief surprise, Bai Chi realized that the few people were about to be rescued. The wretched man felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, and the short knife in his hand was flying very fast. , he cut down all the plants in front of him in a short time.
The wretched man ran toward the tent and called if anyone was there. But no one answered after calling for a long time...
Bai Chi followed the wretched man cautiously and walked over. His eyes were deathly silent. Only the breaths of the four people could be captured...
The wretched man turned around and opened the nearest tent. Baichi looked inside calmly, and saw that no one was there. He then opened the other three tents, but there was still no one there.
The four people suddenly felt desolate in this open space. For some reason, Bai Chi's heart started to feel anxious. Where did the people who had been here go?
Bai Chi glanced around and suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked around again and his eyes widened suddenly.[
Except for the path just opened, everything else was covered with vines. There was no other way to get here. Bai Chi was shocked. Although everything was calm, it was very unnaturally calm.
This kind of tranquility makes Baichi a little scared. There are no roads around, so how were these tents set up, and where did the people who originally set up these tents go? There is no trace...
Just when Bai Chi couldn't calm down for a long time, Shen Li suddenly said "Eh". Bai Chi looked at Shen Li hurriedly. Before he could speak, Shen Li frowned and said:
"These tents are all old styles produced in the 1980s. How could they appear in this place?"
Hearing this, Bai Chi was startled. There was a difference of thirty or forty years between the 1980s and the current era. If these tents had existed in this place decades ago, even if a road was opened at that time, the vines would still be far away from now. Covered. Although this statement is feasible, the condition of these tents is as good as new, even there is no dust at all.
The wretched man also turned around and asked:
"Are you sure?"
Shen Li nodded affirmatively and replied:
"I'm sure, we have used tents of this age during field training."
Bai Chi suddenly remembered that Shen Li was a police officer, and her understanding of the nature of the matter was much better than that of herself and the wretched man. After all, she had received formal training, and it seemed that it was not too late to think about it now.
Bai Chi asked:
“Can you tell how old these tents are?”
Shen Li nodded and walked to the foot of the tent without saying a word. This place is where the ropes for fixing the tent are basically fixed by driving a wooden stake.
Shen Li looked at it and walked towards Baichi and said:
"I can't tell the exact time, but it's at least ten years old."
Bai Chi hurriedly followed her example and looked over there, but didn't see anything interesting. Shen Li smiled and said:
"This is geological knowledge."
Bai Chi said "Oh" and returned to Shen Li. For a moment, he felt that Shen Li seemed a little mysterious. Not only did he know about medical things, but he also knew about geology. This didn't seem to be something a police officer should know.
But Shen Li’s next words completely dispelled Bai Chi’s suspicion. Shen Li said:
"As a police officer, the more you experience things, the more you will become proficient in a certain field of knowledge."
Bai Chi nodded coldly. Although he still didn't understand, he couldn't ask further.
The wretched man was still thinking about things. After all, there was something strange about this place. First it was the torn leg, and then there were the four tents in this open space.
It's getting dark now. Since this place has existed for more than ten years, a few people don't have the ability to pursue this matter. Now they can finally adjust their schedules.
When he mentioned sleeping, Bai Chi realized that he was still carrying Cheng Hao and hurriedly put Cheng Hao down. His body temperature had returned to normal, but his face was still a little burning.
Bai Chi told the wretched man to stop guessing and first set aside a tent to place Cheng Hao in.
The wretched man responded and got in. After a while, he climbed out and said that the tent was very clean and it didn't look like a place where no one lived.
I didn't want to think about it now. I dragged Cheng Hao in and gave him some water. Only then did he have time to look inside.
It's about the same age as Shen Li said, and the things inside are basically from the 1970s and 1980s. The most distinctive thing is a kerosene lamp. The tent is very large, and I did a rough calculation. It is estimated that it can accommodate five people at the same time without feeling crowded. .
When Bai Chi got out of it, the wretched man and Shen Li had already sorted out the contents of the other three tents.
After some discussion, the four of them stayed in a tent temporarily. This place might not be as peaceful as it looked. If something happened in the middle of the night, it would be better to have someone take care of them.
Shen Li didn't want to agree at first. In the end, she reluctantly nodded because of fear. Only then did Bai Chi realize that Shen Li didn't disappear suddenly again, probably because that period of time had passed.
The wretched man blushed involuntarily and said: "Boss, don't think so wildly. Let's see how we arrange things tonight!"
Bai Chi hurriedly looked at the wretched man, probably misunderstanding what he meant. But facing this very practical problem, Bai Chi found it difficult to deal with it.
It would be okay if he was asked to keep vigil all night, let alone the wretched man and Shen Li, both of whom had not slept the whole time. It would probably be okay if they kept watch for two or three hours, but it would be unbearable if they stayed up all night.
The wretched man said with ill intentions:
"How about this, boss, you'll be here for the first half of the night, and I'll be here for the second half of the night?"
Bai Chi was still a little uneasy. He should be able to withstand it, but he didn't know if the wretched man could. Perhaps seeing Bai Chi's distrust of him, the wretched man patted Bai Chi's thigh hard and said:
"If that doesn't work, boss, why don't you stay up all night so that I can have a good sleep?"
Bai Chi hurriedly smiled and said:
"Stop talking, I think we can talk all night tonight and then rest tomorrow!"
The wretched man glanced at Bai Chi angrily, and Bai Chi also laughed. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep vigil, but he felt that he didn't have any confidence in his heart. If someone came over while he was sleeping, wouldn't it be over?
Maybe it's just like that leg, I'm not sure there are any psychopathic people here. I have some security, but Shen Li and the wretched man don't.
This idea slowly made Bai Chi feel at ease. The wretched man had no way to deal with Bai Chi. He sighed and looked at Shen Li. Shen Linai shrugged, which was regarded as agreement.
Bai Chi laughed dryly and walked back to the tent. Cheng Hao was still sleeping quietly. He found a musty quilt inside and covered Cheng Hao. He also fed Cheng Hao some water and felt at ease. walked out.
The wretched man and Shen Li didn't know what they were talking about, which made Shen Li giggle. Bai Chi walked over gently and sat next to them.
As the sky slowly darkened, the fog in the forest became thicker and thicker, and the visibility was now very low. The wretched man stood up, and Bai Chi asked: "What to do?"
The wretched man chuckled and said, "I'm going to take a piss!"
Bai Chi waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Go quickly and come back later to replace me."
After the wretched man left, the surroundings became quiet. Bai Chi and Shen Li had no common topics, but now the atmosphere became much more awkward.
Such an environment seemed very lonely without sound. Shen Li suddenly turned her head and asked Bai Chi:
"Bai Chi, what do you think is weird about what we have experienced?"
Bai Chi had never considered this topic. Now that Shen Li asked it, Bai Chi became very passive. After thinking for a while, he replied:
"I didn't feel it, how about you?"
Shen Li looked at the place where the wretched man went out, was silent for a moment and said:
"I don't know. I always feel that we have overlooked something, but I can't remember where it is."
