Infinity of flame

() Under the dense fog and night, the air is filled with anxiety and anxiety, and the fear that cannot be hidden even though it is tried hard.

......

When Ye Guanhuo woke up from his stupor, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.When I woke up completely, stood up and looked at the surrounding environment, I finally knew what was wrong—anyone who was in a warm and comfortable home one moment, came to the wilderness the next moment, came to a strange place, faced a strange land, A strange sky, and a crowd of strange people around him—the same people who had just awakened from a deep coma—would feel that something was wrong.

Not far away, the lush and gloomy trees are layered on top of each other, revealing a gloomy and ominous atmosphere; under the dense weeds, the Yin Chao land is so cool that it makes people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.From this gloomy environment, Ye Guanhuo, who just woke up, stared at each other awkwardly with strangers who also just woke up, including men and women, old and young, staring at each other awkwardly, not knowing the situation.

But fortunately there is something called 'communication'.Although it is in an unfamiliar place, facing a group of strangers who have never met, but after all, they all belong to "human beings", this kind of intelligent life that can exchange information with each other.

And so, in a short period of time, a group of strangers who just woke up from a coma began to get acquainted with each other.Although there is still a slight level of vigilance and vigilance between each other, it is also within the normal vigilance range when facing strangers.After all, they were strangers just a moment ago, and they can't expect to suddenly know everything and talk endlessly like old friends for many years.

In this contradictory and strange atmosphere of being on guard against each other and even harboring a faint hostility, yet eager to exchange information and intelligence with each other, Ye Guanhuo quietly began to observe the people around him.

.....

"Hey, how can I get involved in such a thing..."

Wang Dayou lamented while pushing away the grass in front of him.He has a simple and honest appearance, which is completely opposite to his appearance. The middle-aged man has a smooth and sophisticated speech and manner. He is estimated to be around 40 years old. He has a faint smell of chopped green onion. It is estimated that his job is related to the restaurant. , most likely to be a cook.He himself said that the last thing he did before he came here unconscious was to prepare to pick up his own child.When he said this, the subconsciously smooth expression on his face could not conceal the anxiety...

"Stop complaining, everyone is the same.!"

Compared to Wang Dayou's lament, Li Xiaofei's voice was full of resentment.

With exquisite makeup and a well-fitting professional suit, she can be seen as an office girl.But now because of the trek through mountains and rivers, the dress looks a little dirty.Ever since she woke up, she has kept few words, and her eyes are always vigilant and shrewd. It can be seen that her personality is cautious and suspicious.She herself said that the last thing she did before coming here was sorting out the company's financial statements...

Compared with the quarrel between these two people, the other dark and simple man seemed quite silent.He just carefully observed the surrounding plants and trees, as if he was thinking.

Yang Jianjun, male, about 30 years old by visual estimation.Dark-skinned, with a certain resolute temperament.It seems to have been a soldier or a police officer... According to him, the last thing he did before coming to this place was watching TV when he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and then he woke up and regained consciousness Just found myself here...

"It turns out that time travel is not fun at all..."

Liu Quan's voice seemed quite helpless, his expression was listless, and he followed everyone through the woods weakly.There was a student air about him, and he couldn't hide it.It should be a college student... Regarding the last thing he did before coming here, he said that he was playing a certain online battle game in the dormitory, when his eyes went dark, and then...

"I really want to go home..."

Cheng Kexin, female, visually estimated to be a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.Should be a student, because...she's still wearing her school uniform.When she spoke, her voice was shy, and her eyes were full of lingering fear.Well, her personality should be introverted and weak. She said that she was just memorizing her homework, and she suddenly came here...

A foreigner with the same panic-stricken expression didn't speak, but patted the young girl's shoulder comfortingly.

Spike, male, is obviously a foreigner. He speaks Chinese unexpectedly fluently. He looks at least in his 50s.According to his own statement, he was traveling abroad to see the Great Wall... When this foreigner spoke, he had a look of helplessness and panic, which did not seem to be fake.

.....

This is the preliminary information obtained by Ye Guanhuo carefully observing the six people as much as possible without attracting attention.Looking at the information from these intelligences, they should be the same as themselves, and they should also be unaware of the reasons for this strange event that happened to them.Ye Guanhuo thought silently.

Including Ye Guanhuo himself, there are a total of eight people in this strange wilderness.Excluding himself and the other six people, he fixed his sights on the eighth and last person without hesitation—a little girl to be precise.

A little girl is really a little girl, a little girl younger than a girl.Since Ye Guanhuo woke up until now, he has been silent. There was an almost indifferent expression on the delicate face.In the eyes of others, the little girl seemed to be so frightened by the strange things that happened to her that she lost her voice and her expression was numb.Therefore, when introducing and exchanging information with each other, she did not say a word, and everyone understood.

No, it's not just that they didn't say a word when they introduced each other. From the beginning until now, Ye Guanhuo keenly noticed that the little girl didn't say a word.This made Ye Guanhuo feel a certain suspicious atmosphere.

Keen observation is one of the few advantages of Ye Guanhuo.Although there may be many reasons for the little girl not to speak, such as being too frightened to aphasia, for example, she is extremely introverted and afraid of being unable to talk to strangers, or for example, she is originally a mute who cannot speak, etc.

But Ye Guanhuo clearly noticed that the reason for the little girl's silence was not any of the above.According to his observation, the reason why the little girl didn't speak was more like... Numbness and despair?

It’s hard to describe the desperation and numbness. If I had to describe it, I should have spent all my family’s savings, plus the loan that needs to be repaid for at least 30 years in the second half of my life. I finally bought a house, but was fired by the company the next morning. When I got home, I found that the house I just bought was reduced to ashes due to a fire, but there was no insurance compensation; I hadn’t recovered from this heavy blow, and suddenly a doctor informed me that I was terminally ill...

It was really unimaginable that such emotions would appear on a little girl, Ye Guanhuo felt for the first time that he did not believe his own judgment.

.....

Although the eight people are male and female, old and young, but fortunately they still live in peace.In addition, the man named Yang Jianjun has an awe-inspiring military temperament, which makes people subconsciously admire him in this kind of bewildered situation.And it is a matter of course, other people in the temporarily formed small group vaguely take him as the head.In addition, he seemed to have experience in wild survival, and with his guidance and help, a group of people did not disperse indiscriminately, but gathered together to look for human signs.

Time passed bit by bit, when the dim slanting light of the setting sun quietly fell down the mountain, darkness quietly climbed onto the earth.

Night is coming.

......

After several hours of hard searching, although no trace of human beings was found, an abandoned house was found.

Although it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, this is undoubtedly good news for everyone.Although it is just an abandoned house, it proves that there were once people living here.And human beings have always been gregarious creatures, and it is impossible to exist alone.From this, it can be deduced that there must be a town where humans gather not far away.

The speculation that there is a human town not far away undoubtedly relieved the heavy heart of everyone who had been anxious and fearful.What they were most afraid of was not being able to find a human town. After all, except for Yang Jianjun, the rest of them obviously did not have any experience in surviving in the wild. It was very dangerous to stay in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time.Whether it is not being able to find food, being attacked by a predatory carnivore, or eating poisonous food by mistake, it is undoubtedly a fatal danger.

Although the deserted house found by Ye Guanhuo and the others seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, layers of dust had accumulated everywhere, and some places were dilapidated and looked extremely gloomy, and it was also full of dirty and trivial sundries.If it was normal, no one would take a second look at it, not to mention where it lived, even if it was used as a warehouse.However, now is not the time to be picky. Although there are all kinds of problems, but fortunately the house has several rooms, which are big enough to accommodate everyone, and they will not be allowed to sleep in the wilderness.It is suitable for one night, but it is also suitable.

More importantly, not far from this abandoned house, everyone was surprised to find that there was a lake——

Now, the grilled fish dinner is settled.At least you don't have to worry about being hungry at night.

......

Although it was only a short day, the common difficult and weird situation made everyone share the joys and sorrows. The short time was enough to get to know each other well, to form a preliminary small group, and even have some coordination functions.For example, because of the unknown situation, under Yang Jianjun's suggestion, he and Wang Dayou took turns keeping vigil at night to prevent accidents.

No one thought this proposal was a big fuss, and the bizarre encounter during the day made everyone in a state of fear and fear.As soon as this proposal was proposed, everyone agreed except for the little girl who had been silent all along.

......

Under the night, Ye Guanhuo, who was resting casually in the abandoned house with his eyes closed after eating grilled fish dinner, was thoughtful.

Three main clues—I suddenly came to this wilderness for no reason, surrounded by seven other people who had encountered the same experience as myself, without any warning beforehand, and initially suspected that it was randomly selected without any rules; one of the little girls was silent and suspicious, Although I don't know if she was involved in the plan, it seems to know something; the events that happened are completely out of common sense, cannot be explained by conventional thinking, and can even be suspected as some kind of supernatural power.Two clues to the situation - gloomy forest, abandoned barren house...

"Brother Guanhuo, are you asleep?" Just as Ye Guanhuo was thinking silently, Liu Quan next to him interrupted his thoughts.

Many times, many things, I know that it is best for me to do so, but I often can't do it for one reason or another.

For example, Liu Quan now.

The strange incident that happened to him during the day greatly shocked Liu Quan's mind. He was playing a good online battle at school, and suddenly he came to a completely unfamiliar wilderness. people fear.Although the companions who had a common strange experience gathered together to calm down their minds, but they searched around during the day, and their bodies, which had been sitting in front of the computer for many years without exercising, almost couldn't support it.

Then what Liu Quan should do most is to rest and sleep well to replenish his physical strength and spirit.

But can't.

The body is very tired, the spirit is very tired, but I just can't sleep.

Although I am tired during the day, there are people around me to accompany me, but when I am alone at night, negative emotions such as worry, fear, anxiety, overwhelmed, etc. are like a poisonous snake, tightly entwining my body and mind, oppressing and imprisoning Liu Quan almost unable to breathe .

Of course, Liu Quan also understands that these negative emotions have no positive effect, and will only make his tired body and mind more tired.But people's thoughts are like this, they cannot be controlled, and the more you don't let yourself think, the more you can't help thinking.

After lying quietly for a while, and confirming that he really couldn't fall asleep in this exhausted state, Liu Quan finally couldn't help talking to Ye Guanhuo who was next to him, trying to calm down the fear deeply hidden in his heart.

Ye Guanhuo didn't feel dissatisfied with being disturbed in the slightest, and calmly replied: "I haven't slept yet, what's the matter?"

"...Nothing, just wondering if the girls in the next room are asleep?"

The room next door, of course, refers to the room of Li Xiaofei, Cheng Kexin and the little girl.

Ye Guanhuo didn't answer this question, but said calmly: "I found that you don't know how to find topics."

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Ah, you saw it. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. I'm so scared that I can't sleep. This thing is really weird. To be honest, I feel like I'm having a nightmare now. , I can't believe that such a wicked thing will happen to me. Speaking of which, don't you feel scared, buddy?"

This is a problem that Liu Quan has been hiding in his mind.Anyone who is afraid?Although many people on the Internet say that if they travel through time, they even imagine that they can travel through time to achieve a career, but they really suddenly encountered an event that cannot be explained by their own common sense, and they came to a completely strange house without warm quilts. There is no water and electricity network, and even the basic food and water sources necessary for life are not stable; the longing for family members, the fear of the unknown, the fear of the future, and even deep worries about whether one's own life can survive ... Faced with these, no matter who will be afraid?

"Of course I'm also afraid. Facing the current situation, everyone is afraid." To Liu Quan's surprise, Ye Guanhuo admitted frankly that this made Liu Quan feel better, but looking at Ye Guanhuo's calm face, Liu Quan couldn't see where he was afraid at all, which made Liu Quan puzzled.

"Fear is not for showing on the face." As if seeing Liu Quan's question, before he could ask, Ye Guanhuo went on to say: "People must learn to control their emotions, not let their emotions control you."

Liu Quan thought about it carefully, and this really sounded reasonable...nonsense.

It makes sense because it makes sense, and nonsense because everyone knows it, but it just can't be done.This is indeed a reasonable nonsense.If he could really control his emotions, Liu Quan wouldn't be so tormented by negative emotions that he couldn't sleep.

Seeing the disapproval on Liu Quan's face, Ye Guanhuo knew that his answer was probably taken as a casual perfunctory.But he has no time and no obligation to explain to Liu Quan.A lot of truths are so simple. If you listen to it, it is naturally good advice, but if you don't listen to it, it is naturally nonsense and perfunctory.The so-called non-speculative half-sentence is too much, that's it.If you talk too much, people don't like to listen.The best way is to keep silent.

The silent air was filled with embarrassment for a moment.

In the embarrassing atmosphere, Liu Quan tried again to say something to dispel the embarrassment; at the same time, Ye Guanhuo, who gradually had some eyebrows, had a bold guess, and was thinking about the clues along the way as evidence to confirm When making this guess, an indifferent and solemn voice instantly appeared in everyone's mind: "Ten seconds later, Jason will survive until dawn. Return to the main god's space after it's over!"

Jason's pursuit?Lord God Space?What do they represent respectively... and this voice that can directly sound in the mind, it seems that it can be confirmed that a supernatural event has indeed been encountered.But these can be considered later.Just take it literally, the first thing to think about should be...'survive till dawn'...

This series of thinking has been completed in the blink of an eye.Liu Quan next to him was still in a daze, wondering whether he was experiencing auditory hallucinations because of being too nervous and panicked, Ye Guanhuo had already got up suddenly, concentrated all his attention as quickly as possible, and keenly observed the surrounding environment.

All of a sudden, the whimpering night wind and the chirping of insects could be heard in his ears.The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Just when Liu Quan, who was stupefied next to him, was still confused about the situation, there was a violent sound similar to objects colliding in vain, breaking the quiet night.Ye Guanhuo, who was nervous but calm, was just about to go out to check what happened, when a miserable howl resounded in vain in the originally quiet night sky!

Then, as if being cut off in vain, there was a deathly silence in the next second.

Ye Guanhuo's complexion changed abruptly, although the miserable howl was so tragic that most of the voice was changed.Ye Guanhuo still recognized it, it was the voice of Yang Jianjun who should be on vigil outside...!

Under the dense fog and night, the air is filled with anxiety, and the fear that can't be hidden even though it's tried hard.
