Fear Collection

When the forest was completely dark, Zhuang Zheng stopped on a slightly higher flat ground by the river, stopped the team, and said: "Let's camp overnight on the spot, this afternoon's march is an adaptive one, and I will give you a buffer. Time, we will speed up from tomorrow."

Zhuang Zheng's words were no less than rain from the sky to the exhausted crowd.

It was almost dark, and Zhuang Zheng, Zhao Wu, and the male of the newlyweds came back with flashlights and chopped some suitable branches, and picked up some dead leaves as starters to start a fire.

When they went to get branches, Xie Jinxi, He Yingwei and one of the newcomers took a small pot they carried with them and went to the river to fetch water with a flashlight.

The main purpose of making a fire is to boil water and filter it. In the wild, the filtered water looks clear, but there are many bacteria and invisible dirt floating in it. Drinking it may cause diarrhea and collapse. This is not true. what a good thing.

After boiling the water, they hurriedly heated up something to eat around the fire.

While nibbling on the compressed biscuits, He Yingwei complained: "The world I have experienced before is not like this. Although it is scary, at least I don't have to play jungle survival, and I can guarantee food and drink. Sigh... how will I live in the future!"

"For me, a world that focuses on suspense and deciphering is more suitable for me than this kind of world that consumes physical strength to survive." Ji Chuanmo also agreed.

Zhao Wu sneered and said, "You don't like it? Why don't we have the right to choose? Let's think about how to sleep for a while. We don't have tents, and there are so many bugs here, can sleeping bags be useful?"

Each of them was carrying a sleeping bag, but no simple tent was found when they were sorting out the supplies. It is estimated that the "Archaeological Adventure Team" lost it during their escape before they entered this world.

When Zhuang Zheng was hesitating, the Snake Witch suddenly took out a white lump from his robe, and threw it directly into the fire.

"You? What's that?" Zhuang Zheng immediately became alert.

The Snake Witch didn't explain, but as the flames burned, a strong but familiar fragrance spread around.

As soon as Xie Jinxi smelled it, he remembered it. It was the scent he had smelled in the tribal leader's room. At that time, the translator said that this scent was used to repel insects.

"It seems to be used to repel insects." Xie Jinxi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the next scene stunned everyone.

After the fragrance spread, countless bugs crawled out on the ground and surrounding branches, and scrambled to the surroundings.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Wu could hardly control himself and screamed a series of shit, and everyone even jumped up and down, avoiding the gushing bugs in a hurry.

Xie Jinxi even saw a centipede longer than a palm and a spider half the size of a fist in the blanket-like swarm of insects, and he got goosebumps all over his body.

Xie Jinxi is really, really afraid of bugs, afraid of all bugs.

It was strange that he was not afraid of reptiles such as snakes and lizards.Only bugs, he is afraid of any kind of bugs, even mosquitoes, when he looks closely.

The source of that fear is probably because the bugs are like some kind of extraterrestrial visitor, not at all like creatures that can appear in normal evolution.Every time he looked at the bugs, he felt the fear of looking at an alien or some kind of alien species.

"It's too exciting." Zhao Wu looked at the fire, feeling a little terrified.

Wang Hanchi looked at the swarm of insects that withdrew and disappeared, couldn't help pressing his temples, and said, "This is why I said that the forest is full of dangers. No wonder the insects surrounding us were far more numerous than the insects that surrounded us when we were driving this afternoon. I didn't imagine it, we stayed in the tribal leader's room for a while, and we were more or less scented."

He paused when he said this, recalling the tingling scene just now, he still couldn't help cursing: "Fuck it."

Zhuang Zheng looked at the fire with a frown and saw the Snake Witch asking, "How long will this incense last? Will it attract other wild animals?"

The Snake Witch didn't answer him.

Zhuang Zheng frowned, and asked again: "Where have we gone now? It is conservatively estimated how many days we have to go to the temple in Snake Valley? Can we arrive within seven days?"

Under the cover of the black robe, he may have captured the key words "Snake Valley" or "Temple". He said, "Go ahead, Snake Valley, it's right there. Snake God, I'm waiting, all of you."

It was still the breathless voice, and the broken sentences were even more strange, as if he was squeezing out word by word.

Zhuang Zheng asked the question several times through other methods, but the Snake Witch didn't answer any more.

Ji Chuanmo shook his head at Zhuang Zheng, and said, "Team Zhuang, don't ask, he is definitely not a normal person, he is probably a special kind of NPC, who only has a fixed behavior pattern and is only interested in a few fixed keywords." reaction."

"Forget it." Zhuang Zheng shook his head and said to the others, "When Bai entered the forest, I didn't find any traces of large beasts, but since there are many kinds of beast heads hanging under the eaves of the tribal houses, Be careful, we will watch the night in groups."

"There are twelve of us, there are three women in the team, plus the oldest newcomer, these four people can sleep well without vigil. The remaining eight people are in groups of two, each group vigil for two hours, a total of eight nights rest. Hours."

Zhuang Zheng generally doesn't like to explain to others, and is used to making all the arrangements, and other people just follow his arrangements.

But considering the scene at the beginning of this world, and the fact that they were a team of strangers, he still explained: "The reason why the four of them are allowed to rest is because their physical strength is the worst. Fair, but to speed up the journey tomorrow. We are a whole, let them rest well so as not to slow down our schedule as much as possible."

"The remaining eight people are free to form groups in pairs. Are there any other questions?"

Everyone thought about it and thought it was good, and they all answered that they had no objection, and then quickly started preparing to spend the night.

When forming a group, Zhuang Zheng, He Yingwei, and Wang Hanchi all chose to lead newcomers, probably considering their lack of experience, and finally it was the turn of Xie Jinxi and Zhao Wu to form a group.

He Yingwei and the rookie defended the first round, followed by Zhuang Zheng and the rookie, then Xie Jinxi and Zhao Wu, and finally Wang Hanchi and the rookie.

The two most difficult and most difficult classes in the middle are reserved for Zhuang Zheng and the newcomers, Xie Jinxi and Zhao Wu. The main reason is that Zhuang Zheng has strong ability, and Xie Jinxi and Zhao Wu are the only group with both of them. Group of seniors.

As night came and the temperature dropped rapidly, the fire was not extinguished considering the night watchman's problem of keeping warm and burning incense.

Xie Jinxi got into his sleeping bag and was finally able to rest. He was already drowsy, and the whole afternoon's march exhausted his energy, so he quickly fell asleep.

Falling asleep, Xie Jinxi suddenly felt someone pushing him. He woke up in a daze, opened his sleeping bag and sat up. Seeing that the person calling him was Zhuang Zheng, he asked, "It's time for us to watch the night?"

Zhuang Zheng nodded, and whispered to Xie Jinxi and Zhao Wu who had already been called up by another newcomer: "We heard some strange rustling noises just now, but the fire is burning and it seems that the surroundings are too dark to see anything. No, we were afraid that the light of the flashlight would attract other beasts, so we didn't unscrew it to look around."

"We waited for a long time and didn't find anything approaching, but the sound did happen. You must be careful when you watch the night, and wake us up if anything happens."

Xie Jinxi and Zhao Wu nodded to show they understood. Zhao Wu went to the luggage side to find the machete in his hand, and Xie Jinxi took the flashlight.

Xie Jinxi and Zhao Wuwei stood vigil by the fire. In the previous world, there were still mobile phones, but in this world there is nothing. Sitting is too sleepy.

Xie Jinxi barely held his eyelids, and said to Zhao Wu next to him: "No, I'm too sleepy. If you see that I don't respond, you can yell at me, or call me. I am the same, call you from time to time, don't bother us. It’s too dangerous if you fall asleep without knowing it.”

Zhao Wu nodded, took a branch to turn over the almost burnt fire, and said, "Oh, it's boring, why don't we chat, let's talk about the world we've experienced, or we won't be able to hold on."

After all, this world is only Xie Jinxi's second world, and he is full of curiosity about other people's experiences.

After all, if you listen more, you may gain experience and enlightenment from others, and you will not wait for death if you encounter similar situations in the future.

Anyway, nothing happened, Zhao Wu took the lead and said: "This is my third world, the first two worlds... how should I put it, anyway, each has its own weirdness and horror."

"The first world is called the underground labyrinth. It throws a group of us into the labyrinth and asks us to find the exit and escape within a limited time. There are various traps and monsters in the labyrinth. The walls are not only indestructible but also move regularly. I'm serious Not good at deciphering, but fortunately I met a very thin little boy, he seems to have a special intuition, he can feel whether he is dangerous."

"He led us to avoid many monsters and traps, but as time passed, we found that the passages of the maze became narrower and narrower, and the entire maze was shrinking. If we can't find the exit, we will end up like stones on a millstone. The ants were generally crushed by the wall, and many people collapsed at that time."

"Then how did you find the exit in the end?"

"Trap." Speaking of this, Zhao Wu's expression was a little hideous. He cursed in a low voice, and then continued, "The real exit is in the trap. Those flap traps, some have knives underneath, and some have knives underneath. The flame that devours people, among so many flap traps, only one is the exit."

"We were lucky. Under the leadership of the boy with special intuition, we found the only exit hidden in the flap trap. But even so, only four of the eleven people in our first world survived .”

Xie Jinxi was startled, and keenly grasped one thing from it, that is, the worlds the two of them experienced were completely different, but the way to pass the level in the end was hidden in a dead corner of thinking.

There are countless flap traps in the maze, and the route in the maze is constantly changing, and at the beginning it was said that the "exit" was to be found.Naturally, some people think that as long as they avoid traps and monsters, they can find the exit and go out, but the so-called "exit" is precisely in the "trap".

The same is true in Xie Jinxi's first world. To avoid killing ghosts, you need to hide in the villa during the day, hide outside the villa at night, and hide on the balcony at the last moment to get bugs. This is the opposite of normal people's thinking.

Xie Jinxi also talked about his first world, especially when Xie Jinxi hesitated to say that only two people survived including him, Zhao Wu couldn't help showing admiration, and said in admiration: "You boy is very good!" It’s amazing, if I really didn’t think of these.”

As he said that, Zhao Wu's expression slowly sank, and he said: "My second world is related to nightmares, which is even more fucked up. There is a so-called nightmare among us, it is the kind of... How should I put it, a monster, yes, a kind of monster. It can create nightmares, make people fall into nightmares, and be killed by their own nightmares."

"Our task is to distinguish between reality and dreams. When you fall into a dream, Nightmare will transform into a person or something beside you. You must find it and destroy it to end that world."

"The result is..." Zhao Wu shook his head, "Many people died in the nightmare, and some people struggled to wake up from the nightmare, but because the nightmare turned into their teammates in the dream, they lost control and killed in reality. Dead teammate."

"It was very chaotic, very chaotic... I even thought that I was going to die in that fucking nightmare, but in the end I managed to distinguish Nightmare, killed it and passed through that world."

Xie Jinxi couldn't help but think about the task world where nightmares overlap nightmares, where dreams and reality are indistinguishable, and asked, "Then how do you tell the difference..."

"What is that!" Zhao Wu suddenly interrupted his words, and suddenly looked in a direction warily.
