Chapter 148 People Living in a Mass Grave
Chapter 148 People Living in a Mass Grave
The vast suburbs were pitch black, with only a faint moonlight illuminating the dead woods.
It adds a bit of eerie atmosphere to the whole atmosphere.
Since the silver-robed man and the terrifying gaze above his head had all retreated, Chen Chen was able to completely relax. His life was almost hanging by a thread just now.
Then, he continued to grope in the darkness, trying to find the entrance to Block 9 from which he came.
After searching for more than ten minutes, I still found nothing. And this place is really vast. It is estimated that this large forest covers more than ten kilometers around, so it is very inconvenient to find the entrance.
I kept groping like this, and even felt like giving up.
Afterwards, I walked along this mountain road for a long time, and kept walking and walking...
Before they knew it, they arrived at a cemetery, where there were many tall mounds of earth, as well as some fruits and food used as sacrifices by others, some of which even showed signs of mold.
"Why is there a cemetery in the open space next to the forest?"
"Could it be that the civilians around here regard this place as a natural mass grave?"
Chen Chen thought this in his heart, and then continued to walk towards the cemetery.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it took about half an hour until a few faint lights were spotted on the edge of a piece of land not far from the deep mountains ahead.
The presence of light in this deep mountain area is indeed very suspicious, isn't it?
Is it fireflies? Is it the burning white phosphorus of a corpse? Or is it a ghost?
Chen Chen continued to walk towards the light, and only when he got closer could he see clearly the source of the light.
What comes into view is a small wooden house. Next to the house, there is a circle of stone fence. The entire house occupies a large area, but it is not very large either. It looks quite old, and the moldy wood is covered with traces of mottled marks left by the years.
As we went deeper, we gradually could see clearly the outermost dark gray wall. This entire wall surrounded the entire wooden house inside, but the wall was also covered with cracks and spider webs.
The faint light in the room, like a little firefly, floats in the dark night sky, and adds a weird atmosphere under the rendering of the surrounding environment.
"A place like this... there are really no people living there, right? Normal people wouldn't build a house on a mass grave... that would be too unlucky."
This was the first reaction in Chen Chen’s mind.
But it is normal and not surprising to think this way.
Firstly, the geographical location of this house is very remote, and it is almost built on a mass grave. Moreover, it is so remote that there is only this one family within a radius of ten kilometers.
Secondly, it must be inconvenient to live here... You always need some firewood, rice, oil, salt, furniture, etc.
Besides, this place almost looks like a haunted house!
He stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then he knocked on the door gently.
What if it's a haunted house? It's just a ghost, right? What's there to be afraid of? Just kill it!
dong dong dong-
The knocking sound of the door echoed for a long time in this empty valley. In the silent forest, there was no other sound except the knocking sound.
The next moment, a burly man slowly opened the door. Although he looked strong, he looked very strange. First of all, he was wrapped in black cloth all over his body, like a mummy.
Moreover, his eyes are sunken and his eye sockets are very dark, just like a zombie. He also has a long knife tied around his waist, and his appearance is more or less weird.
"Who are you? You evil monster!"
Chen Chen threw a heavy punch. What could a zombie crawling out of a grave do to him?
The man who looked like a zombie had never expected that he would be hit by a punch when he opened the door. He was hit hard in the right eye without paying attention. His eye sockets, which already had some dark circles, turned purple.
"Who are you?" the man asked in a hoarse voice, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Why did you hit me?!"
Hearing the other party actually speaking, Chen Chen knew that he had called the wrong person. The other party was not a zombie at all, but a real living person.
"Yeah...sorry."
The man stared at the uninvited guest in front of him with an unfriendly look. He didn't say anything, just watched.
The other party hasn't answered his question yet, and he doesn't know who the person in front of him is, or what his purpose is in coming here so late at night.
Similarly, Chen Chen also expected this, so he prepared to introduce himself:
"Hello, sir. My name is Qianyu Chenchen."
Then he continued with a hint of apology:
"I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I really didn't mean to hit you... When I first saw your face, I thought you were a corpse that had crawled out of a grave, so I..."
“Corpse?!!!” The man’s rage did not diminish, but instead showed a tendency to increase.
"You come to my mass grave so late at night, you don't look like a good person!
Also, if you are a customer who wants me to forge a knife, please go back. I will not serve you today no matter what."
The man waved his hand casually, and it was obvious that he was sending the guest away. He also thought that since the other party had come here, he must want him to forge a knife. Huh! No way!
"What? Forging a sword?!" Chen Chen shook his head repeatedly in denial.
"I'm not here to forge a sword. It was just too dark at night, so I accidentally walked here. Besides, your place is the only place with lights on within a radius of dozens of miles...
I came here after I saw the light. I was just curious why someone lived in such a remote place, so I came and knocked on the door. ”
"Oh." The man didn't believe it anyway, and then he said lightly: "Then go away, you are not welcome here."
Click!
The wooden door was slammed shut, leaving only Chen Chen, who was disheveled in the wind.
Chen Chen: ...
"No one believes me when I tell the truth, what can I do?"
He no longer paid any attention to this strange man and continued to grope for the entrance he came from.
A voice suddenly reached his ears, which made him stunned. Why would someone call his name in the middle of the night? Could it be a ghost?
Then he began to listen to the sound carefully and look for its source.
As he listened, he found the voice seemed a little familiar, and it seemed to be calling his name?
——Chen Chen…Chen Chen…
"Isn't this Lin Qiye's voice?"
