Living on a deserted island, the cold female president regards me as king
Chapter 708: Ancient Locust Tree
Wang Gang was killed, but my heart did not fluctuate in the slightest.
If he hadn't pointed a gun to my forehead not long ago, maybe I would have saved him, but not now, no matter what happened to him, it was his own fault.
Self-inflicted, not alive, I don't have to save someone who might kill me.
"It's retribution so soon, tsk."
The fire monkey sighed strangely.
"Don't say that, Team Wang was just too stimulated. If it were you, you might not be much better than him. I think it's better for us to find him."
Yang Hui put on a magnanimous look, took out a pistol and walked towards the street on the left.
In the past few days, her physical condition is the worst. She even wobbles when she walks, but her attitude is very firm.
As a woman, she was able to set an example so resolutely, so it was impossible for Fire Monkey and I to just watch her die. We could only follow her and try our best to ensure her safety.
I have to admit that this woman is more human than I am.
But this human touch is likely to cost us our lives.
"What is it like for a woman to open the way for us two men?"
The fire monkey sighed, and said reluctantly, then still caught up with Yang Hui, and walked in front of her.
When we got closer, we found a flashlight and bullet casings scattered on the ground covered with a thin layer of sand.
But Wang Gang himself disappeared.
The place where we are standing now is the doorway of an ancient family. The dusty copper-edged mahogany door is closed tightly. There are two stone lions squatting on the left and right in front of the door.
On our right is an ancient locust tree, nearly ten meters high, with a pitch-black body and a thick trunk that can be hugged by two people. Although at first glance it looks the same as those carbonized Populus euphratica in the desert, from its sparse branches it is still It can be seen that it used to be lush.
But I felt a strange vitality from it, as if what I saw was not a tree, but a ferocious beast dormant in the ground.
This idea lingered in my mind for a long time, but I had no choice but to look away from it.
How could I have such a weird idea?Could it be that I am too suspicious?
"Where's the king team?"
When I couldn't figure it out, Yang Hui took a flashlight and looked around, and then asked in doubt.
"The footprints only last here. Logically speaking, even if he is in danger, he should be here."
I came back to my senses and pointed to the footprints on the ground.
Wang Gang's footprints were interrupted here, as if his whole body had evaporated out of thin air.
Could it be that he hid in this courtyard when he was in danger?
I set my sights on the door, and couldn't help but hesitate.
What if we don't find Wang Gang when we go in, but put us in danger instead? .
Seeing that I was staring at the door, the fire monkey hurriedly dissuaded me: "You don't mean to go in, do you? What if it collapses?"
"Go and have a look, in case the Wang team is inside..."
Yang Hui agrees with me.
So, I let the two of them retreat to a safe distance, and then walked to the gate alone.This building that has been destroyed for a long time will not suddenly collapse like the ones we encountered before, right?
As I thought about it, I gently put my hand on the copper ring, and I was ready to retreat in the event of an accident.
However, the expected accident did not happen.
After an uncomfortable grinding sound, the door opened.
Inside is a classical compound, with a touch of extravagance in the atmosphere. There is a marble table in the courtyard, which is covered with dust. There are several plates of half-eaten meals on it, and four statues are sitting beside the table.
The statue is a family of four, a man and a woman holding a pair of twins, looking in the same direction in horror.
I don't know which skilled craftsman made these statues so realistically!
"The sand on the ground has no trace of being moved. The Wang team should not be here, but...these statues look a little interesting."
The fire monkey walked towards several statues while talking.
Curiously, he tapped the head of the statue of the woman with the butt of his gun. The sound came out was thick and dull, and it seemed solid.
"Just like the real thing."
Fire Monkey turned his head and said to Wang Hui and me.
Indeed, it is so realistic that it is even a little scary.
When the fire monkey was talking to us, the sculpture's head suddenly fell off, rolled around on the ground and landed at my feet.
I vaguely saw something white in the crack on the neck of the statue.
When I moved the light of the flashlight over, I was startled.
The white thing I saw turned out to be a severed spine!
Suddenly, I understood, what kind of statue is this? It is clearly the remains of a dead person!It's just that the sand has covered the body over countless years, so it looks like an exquisite sculpture at first glance!
The family of four we see in front of us used to be real people!
It's just that the four members of this family didn't seem to die normally, but more like they encountered some natural disaster suddenly. That's why the couple, who were completely defenseless at the time, had such hideous and terrifying expressions when danger approached.
"These...are not sculptures."
I immediately told Fire Monkey and Yang Hui about my discovery.
"I said why it looks so realistic..."
"It's hard to imagine what a terrible crisis they have encountered."
After listening to what I said, Yang Hui's expression became more anxious, and she was even more worried about the missing Wang Gang.
I picked up the woman's head that fell on the ground, put it on the stone table, and then said, "We have wasted enough time, let's go out and look for it, if it doesn't work, we can only make another plan."
We wandered around quite a bit, but didn't see a single mouse.
In the end, we once again returned to the place where Wang Gang disappeared.
"We are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river. Why should we waste our efforts for a traitor? If I keep wandering around like this, I won't last long."
The fire monkey's face could no longer be described as ugly.
My mood also sank to the bottom.
We, who were already exhausted from dehydration, really couldn't stand the torment. I really doubt that I will pass out due to excessive dehydration in the next second.
Even Yang Hui, who had been advocating looking for Wang Gang before, became a little silent at this time.
"Yes, we can no longer waste energy in vain. As for Team Wang, I wish him good luck."
I also plan to give up looking for Wang Gang. After all, we have tried our best, but we still have nothing.
Now, we have to go back to the intersection where we came, and go in another direction.
Before leaving, Yang Hui still looked around unwillingly, trying to find a trace of Wang Gang, but still nothing.
"Yang Hui is gone!"
Suddenly, the anxious voice of the fire monkey came from behind.
I was startled in my heart, and hurriedly turned around, but there was only Fire Monkey behind me, and Yang Hui was nowhere to be found.
Along with Yang Hui's disappearance, there was a slight sound of rubbing.
I quickly picked up the flashlight and shone in the direction where the sound disappeared.
At the end of the light from the flashlight, I saw Yang Hui tightly entangled by several black vines that were as thick as a baby's arm.
Her body was tightly wrapped by those weird vines, only half of her head was still exposed, and one of the vines strangled her neck tightly.
This made her unable to even cry out for help, and could only sob silently.
These weird vines are dragging her into the darkness.
"What the hell is this!"
The fire monkey jumped up anxiously, threw the backpack in his hand to me, picked up the gun, and rushed towards the direction where Yang Hui disappeared.
For a while, my load almost doubled, but I moved faster than the fire monkey.
But even so, I couldn't catch up with the black vines that dragged Yang Hui away. I could only watch Yang Hui being dragged by the vines and hanging upside down in front of a thick and tall tree.
Instantly, I stopped in my tracks and stared blankly at Yang Hui's pleading eyes, not knowing what to do.
The big tree in front of us is exactly the ancient locust tree we have seen before!
And those vines wrapped around Yang Hui's body were actually branches of pagoda trees!
If he hadn't pointed a gun to my forehead not long ago, maybe I would have saved him, but not now, no matter what happened to him, it was his own fault.
Self-inflicted, not alive, I don't have to save someone who might kill me.
