Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?

The envelopes for both groups contained a folded map of the entire island, with the locations each group wanted to go marked on it.

The abandoned hotel that Lin Luo and the others were going to was on the seaside on the other side of the island. In other words, they had to pass through the entire desert island to reach their destination.

The abandoned school that Luo Yongnan's group wanted to go to was closer, located near the center of the island, and the distance was nearly one-third shorter than Lin Luo's group.

The program director began to explain the upcoming tasks.

"Members of each group are asked to follow the route on the map and go to the marked destination. The group that reaches the destination faster will have an advantage. Now, please put on your backpack and set off."

The island is far from the mainland, and mobile phones often have no signal. The staff sent walkie-talkies for communication to each guest and gave safety tips.

The destinations marked on the maps of the two groups were located in different directions, and the two groups were on different roads. After seeing the map clearly, the Luo Yongnan group had already set off first.

The members of the Bejia group are still studying the route around the map. They now have two options:

The first is to go through the middle of the entire island to reach the abandoned hotel on the other side of the island. This option is the shortest, but the disadvantage is that it needs to pass through the different environments of the island, including woods and uninhabited areas. Living Area;

The other option is to take a long detour from the seaside. This option has a longer distance, but the advantage is that you keep walking on the seaside and the environment is single.

"I think we should go from the seaside. This island is not big. The mobile map shows that the area is only about 2 square kilometers. Even if we take a detour, it won't take too long."

Meng Youran made the suggestion anxiously, her face turning pale. Just seeing the words "abandoned hotel" made her whole body feel bad. She didn't care about winning or losing, she just didn't want to pass by those abandoned living areas. , who knows what’s in there.

Wen Ningyu put forward the opposite opinion.

"It's better to take a shortcut. Our destination is already farther than the other team's. If we take another detour, the gap will be even greater. Moreover, there are still tasks to complete after arriving at the destination, so we must save time."

After listening to the two people's speech, Beijia looked at Lin Luo again: "Lin Luo, what do you think?"

Meng Youran and Wen Ningyu looked at Lin Luo together, as if they were saying "Listen to me, listen to me."

Lin Luo turned away from the two of them and looked at Bejia who asked her question, "The program team has been here before. There shouldn't be any danger on the road. The weather on the island is changeable in summer. I want to choose the shortest route. Come early." It will be better to reach your destination.”

Bejia nodded in agreement, "I think so too. After this island was abandoned twenty years ago, it became an uninhabited island. Let's not scare ourselves. We can walk from here through the middle of the island to the hotel, which is almost a It will take a few hours to arrive, so let’s set off immediately.”

Meng Youran was disappointed that no one listened to her advice, so she had to carry her backpack and quickly follow her teammates.

After leaving the beach, they walked into a forest. Beijia walked at the front, Meng Youran and Lin Luo walked side by side in the middle, and Wen Ningyu walked at the end like a gentleman.

Of course, they were accompanied by four photographers and several staff members. There was nothing to be afraid of with the dozen or so people.

What they were walking on was a stone road covered with fallen leaves, and they could see the traces of it being paved manually. The surrounding trees were lush and neatly arranged, and they must have been planted by humans.

Ten minutes later, they walked out of the woods and walked onto a wider cement road. There were also many fallen leaves on the road, which showed that no one had walked here for a long time.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, they saw a few scattered houses, almost all with black tiles and white walls. There were overgrown weeds around the houses, and the entire walls of some houses were covered with vines.

There are no traces of human life, and plants are spreading wantonly in this silent and desolate world.

As we continue walking forward, we see more and more houses. In addition to the architectural style with black tiles and white walls, we can also see several small modern-style houses. The flowers on the balcony are still blooming, but the owner has already Leave.

Nothing happened along the way, and Meng Youran became more courageous. She began to appreciate the surrounding scenery. In addition to residential buildings, they also passed by shops, kindergartens, and even simple children's play facilities. She could vaguely feel the atmosphere of that year. Popularity and prosperity.

"The houses here are all in good repair. A lot of people must have lived there before, right?"

Meng Youran looked left and right, her eyes resting on the woods in the distance. She pointed to a Chinese-style building standing in the woods and asked:

"Is that a tower there? It's so well built. But why is such a once prosperous island abandoned?"

"There are many reasons for the island to be abandoned, such as resource depletion, environmental damage, labor outflow, etc." Bejia stopped and looked around at the surrounding houses and trees with a deep look, "I don't know which one it belongs to here. "

"I do know a little."

Wen Ningyu's words successfully attracted the attention of several people present, and everyone looked at him.

"My hometown is a small fishing village on the land opposite this island. When I was a child, I often heard the elders in the village mention that there was a 'Prayer Island' on the sea to the east of our village. There were gods living on the island. When a person goes to the island to make a wish, the island god will grant his wish.”

"Nonsense!" Bejia interrupted him with a frown, "Let's head to our destination as quickly as possible."

"Wait a minute, Wen Ningyu, you haven't finished speaking yet. Since the island is protected by gods, why is this island deserted? It doesn't make sense." Meng Youran stopped Wen Ningyu and continued to ask.

She and Wen Ningyu have known each other for a long time, and the two of them get along relatively casually in private. She is really too curious now, and is very ready to prevent Wen Ningyu from leaving without telling him.

Wen Ningyu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Bei Jia. Under Meng Youran's questioning, he continued to tell the camera:

"The old man in the village said that the people on the island made mistakes, and the gods no longer wanted to protect them. After the gods left, the people who came to the island to make wishes could not realize their wishes, and gradually no one came, and no tourists came. The livelihood of the residents has become a problem, and people on the island have gradually begun to leave and move to places more suitable for living, and the island has gradually become deserted."

"Ah, what a pity," Meng Youran looked at the buildings full of life around her and felt regretful. Suddenly something occurred to her, and she asked Wen Ningyu excitedly: "Is there really a god on this island? Have you seen it?" "

"I've never been here before, how could I have seen it before?" Wen Ningyu waved his hand, "I've heard all this, and it may not be true. The old people in the village like to tell stories."

Meng Youran wanted to continue asking, but Wen Ningyu stopped her with gestures, pointed to Bejia in front of her, who had her back to them, and whispered in Meng Youran's ear: "Let's stop talking now. Teacher Beijia is leaving in a hurry. We have arrived at our destination." Say it again."

Meng Youran agreed, and she took the initiative to walk to Beijia, "Teacher Beijia, we just chatted for a few more words and almost lost track of time. Let's go together now?"

Bejia nodded calmly, "Let's go."

The group continued towards the abandoned hotel.

Lin Luo looked at the tall tower in the woods in the distance, a five or six-story pavilion-style tower with a brick body and wooden eaves, simple and solemn. That direction... seemed to be closer to the abandoned school.
