long night fire

Not feeling lost, Jiang Baimian leaned forward, resting his chin with one hand, admiring Qiao Chu's side face as if he couldn't move his eyes.

After Shang Jianyao sat down again, he found that because of his position, he could only see the back of Qiao Chu's head, and from time to time, his eyes would be blocked by the chair pillow in front of him, and his face suddenly showed an unconcealable disappointment.

Qiao Chu looked at the broken bridge in front of him, and suddenly asked:

"Do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes!" Bai Chen quickly turned sideways and opened the armrest box.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Baimian withdrew his hand holding his chin, and hurriedly searched for food in his pockets, while Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong straightened up, turned to the back, and tried to get canned braised beef for Qiao Chu.

Without a doubt, Bai Chen was the fastest and handed Qiao Chu a small bag of compressed biscuits and an energy bar.

"That's it. You guys also eat a little. I don't think you will have a break at noon. You have to take turns driving." Qiao Chu took the food and gave orders like a leader, but Shang Jianyao and the others had no objection.

After eating the biscuits and energy bars with the water in the water bag, Qiao Chu put away the items, waited for a while, then turned to Bai Chen and said:

"It's time to go.

"Go to the hilly area in the northwest direction."

"Okay." Bai Chen agreed after finishing his lunch, but did not look away.

Qiao Chu stretched out his left hand, patted Bai Chen's right arm, and said with a gentle smile:

"Drive well."

"Okay!" Bai Chen was flattered, and immediately sat up straight and started the jeep.

Qiao Chu turned to look at the back row, smiled slightly and said:

"I'm going to take a break. Pay attention to your surroundings and wake me up when you get to that hilly area."

"Okay!" Jiang Baimian and others answered in unison.

Qiao Chu said nothing, and turned her head back.

The smile on his face disappeared quickly, and his eyes became extremely cold.

Then, he took out a sky-blue box from his pocket and snapped it open.

Inside the box is a small mirror.

Qiao Chu stared at himself in the mirror, raised his right hand, and carefully combed his hair.

After examining it repeatedly, he slowly put away the mirror case, leaned his head back, and closed his eyes.

In the evening, the jeep returned to the hilly area where Black Rat Town was located.At this time, Wang Beicheng's 23rd Brigade had already left.

No need to remind, Jiang Baimian and others turned into alarm clocks and woke up Qiao Chu on time.

Qiao Chu glanced at the dimmed sky:

"Rest here tonight, and continue driving northwest tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Bai Chen found a familiar camping spot and stopped the jeep.

Then, the four of them scrambled to set up the tent, lit the campfire, and pulled out a few military cans from the trunk.

"You have quite a lot of supplies..." Qiao Chu sat in the passenger seat with the door open, watching Shang Jianyao and others busy.

Not long after, Shang saw Yao trotting over, and volunteered:

"I'm going over there to get water."

Qiao Chu followed the direction he pointed, looked at the location of the clean water source, thought for a few seconds and said:

"No, our water lasts for days."

"Yeah, the cans won't heat up in a while, do you need me to sing you a song?" Shang Jianyao didn't insist at all, and asked with a smile instead.

"..." Qiao Chu looked at Shang Jianyao suspiciously for two seconds, "No need."

"What about the swinging hula dance on the Gold Coast?" Shang Jianyao asked.

Qiao Chu frowned slightly and said:

"No, I want to be quiet for a while, and call me after the can is hot."

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao responded enthusiastically.

After he turned and walked towards the campfire, Qiao Chu took out the sky blue plastic box again and opened it with a snap.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Qiao Chu's expression became a little more vivid, and he sighed in a low voice:

"Hey, it's really troublesome..."

In this way, the night passed quietly, and the sun once again rose from the east of the Black Marsh wilderness.

After breakfast, after some secret contests, Jiang Baimian finally took advantage of the authority of the team leader to grab the duty of driving, while Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen could only squeeze in the back row a little bit aggrieved.

Qiao Chu turned his wrist and looked at the mechanical watch, relying on the compass on the dial to determine the starting position.

"Go in that direction and keep driving." He pointed to a place to the northwest.

Jiang Baimian didn't question it. He drove the jeep, went around the hilly area first, and then ran straight in the direction Qiao Chu said.

As time went on, the surrounding terrain became flatter and the dirt darker and more rotten, until eventually the silt dominated the scene and there were fewer and fewer hard surfaces.

This is heading into the depths of the Great Swamp.

Compared with Bai Chen, Jiang Baimian's experience in this area is slightly insufficient, and he almost let the car sink into the bottomless mud twice.

She had to give up the driver's seat and returned to the middle of the back row, while Bai Chen drove the jeep seriously and hard, like a child expecting praise.

The speed of the jeep undoubtedly slowed down a lot. It didn't travel more than [-] kilometers until noon, and various plants gradually grew in the surrounding swamps.

They were either dull or brightly colored compared to normal, which looked odd.

Jiang Baimian still remembered his duties as the team leader, and casually reminded Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

"When you see similar deformed plants gathering, it means that you have entered the polluted area. However, the plants here are not strange enough, not dangerous enough, and the pollution level should not be too high.

"In such an environment, ordinary people can still move, but if they don't have protective equipment, it's best not to exceed three days. People who have undergone mature genetic modification can last for about ten days. However, the premise is that they have prepared in advance. food and water."

Qiao Chu turned his head again, glanced at Jiang Baimian, but quickly withdrew his gaze, pointed to the side and said:

"Go this way."

"But..." Bai Chen subconsciously wanted to make her own suggestion.

The routes she chose were all low-pollution and suitable for vehicles. If she changed the route rashly, she might encounter the kind of swamp that expanded the territory, and the car and people would sink into it and sink to the bottom.

"Go this way." Qiao Chu emphasized again.

"Okay." Bai Chen chose to obey.

After the vehicle diverted, it entered an area that Bai Chen was not familiar with, which slowed down the jeep a lot - Bai Chen needed to judge the road conditions based on his own experience while driving.

About 25 minutes later, when everyone in the car had finished their lunch and was about to let Jiang Baimian replace Bai Chen, the scene ahead suddenly changed:

In the deep black swamp where the edge could not be seen, thick vines and rotten soil drilled out from the bottom, forming a low "forest".

They are blue and black in color, each one has the thickness of an ordinary python, and there are countless reddish spikes on the surface.

These weird vines are intertwined, covering every area visible to the naked eye in front of Jeep, except for the dark swamp itself, everything else has become their embellishment - even the sky seems to be covered by the low "forest" or other Problems become gloomy, gloomy, and depressing.

Seeing this spectacular but terrifying scene, whether it was Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao, or Long Yuehong, they all felt an indescribable shock at the same time.

Shocked, they had a question almost at the same time:

"Why are we here?"

At this time, the corners of Qiao Chu's mouth curled up, revealing a gentle smile:

"Don't be nervous."

The voice and words dispelled the doubts of Shang Jianyao and others, and made them look at Qiao Chu infatuatedly again.

Qiao Chu sat up straight, and began to direct Baichen how to drive and where to drive.

Seeing the python-like green, black and reddish vines passing by outside the window, Jiang Baimian moved five fingers of his left hand.

Instinctively, she took out a pen and paper from her pocket, and recorded what she saw.

Shang Jianyao looked at the back of Qiao Chu's head from time to time, and looked out at those vines from time to time, always feeling that they were pregnant with great danger.

At this moment, he felt a slight bump on his left arm.

Shang Jian Yao turned his head subconsciously, and saw Jiang Baimian leaning the white paper in his hand to this side.

He stared intently, and saw that the current scene was faithfully described on the white paper, and besides that, there was a strange sentence at the end:

"...There is such a severely distorted area in the depths of the Great Swamp, but miraculously, the chip on my left arm told me that the radiation pollution here is not too serious. Maybe the pollution has decayed and weakened over time?

"... Those vines are covered with reddish spikes, as if they have just sucked blood...

"...The chip on my left arm tells me that the current location is completely different from the intended target, Qifeng Town..."

Chapter 61 画画

When Shang Jianyao was still thinking about the meaning of the last sentence, Jiang Baimian quickly wrote:

"None of us felt abnormal, but the chip found something wrong, which means..."

Before she finished writing, Shi Shiran put away the pen and paper, continued to hold his chin, and stared at Qiao Chu's profile.

Shang Jian Yao retracted his gaze and guessed a little reason, but he didn't know what he could do or what to do, because it seemed that there was some force preventing him from thinking deeply, not thinking about where the problem came from and where it came from, let him Faintly do not want to break a beautiful image.

The source of this power is not from the outside world, but from his heart.

Things are already so difficult, why not indulge yourself in sweet dreams?

boom!

Under Qiao Chu's command, the jeep passed through the gaps between several green and black vines, which inevitably hit and rubbed against some of them.

Plants with reddish thorns slid across the panes, leaving countless, minute scratches.

Shang Jianyao, who was looking for countermeasures on the surface of his mind, looked over subconsciously, and saw his silhouette reflected on the car window in the gloomy environment.

His heart moved, his eyes suddenly became deep, and he wanted to use the ability of "hypocritical person" on himself.

If it works, he will immediately become hypocritical, and his behavior will deviate from the pre-set logic of the affected.

For example, I can't bear Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong staring at Qiao Chu, asking to leave in order to retreat, for example, I have to make things clear in this dangerous situation...

And when this abnormality occurs, the situation will change, and no matter whether the change is good or bad, it will expose some problems and help Shang Jianyao return to "reality".

After a few seconds, Shang Jianyao's eyes returned to normal.

He looked down at his hands, then at himself reflected in the car window, and shook his head slightly.

His attempt failed.

The "hypocritical person" seems to be different from the "reasoning clown" and cannot affect himself through this simple way of looking in the mirror.

Shang Jian Yao retracted his gaze and began to think seriously again, while Qiao Chu was focused on directing Bai Chen to pass through this swamp full of scary vines, and had no time for him.

Suddenly, the corner of Shang Jianyao's mouth moved, slightly raised.

In this depressing and gloomy environment, he smiled like a psychopath.

Ten seconds later, Shang Jianyao's expression returned to normal.

He frowned slightly and thought about it, his eyes gradually brightened.

He looked at himself reflected on the car window again, and muttered:

"Jiang Baimian has long legs, and I have long legs too..."

Jiang Baimian turned his head when he heard the words, with a puzzled expression on his face.

She raised her hand to touch the metal cochlea in her left ear, and gestured that she didn't hear clearly.

Shang Jian Yao ignored her, and continued to mutter to himself:

"Jiang Baimian is very powerful, and so am I..."

Qiao Chu heard Shang Jianyao's words, but on the one hand, he had to distinguish the distribution of vines, the condition of the road, and various details of the swamp, so he was distracted. A jealous concubine slanders the favored in private.

Long Yuehong looked at Shang Jianyao, not understanding what he was going to do.

Since he didn't understand the situation, he must have no intention of exposing the secret and protecting Qiao Chu.

Shang Jianyao looked at himself on the window glass, his eyes became deeper and deeper:
