Guiding Spirit [Part 1]

Five minutes after the broadcast ended, the people in the open space still hadn't realized what was going on, and they all stood there blankly looking at each other.

Who would have thought that going on a trip would be fatal?

"This, is this a joke?" Xiao Wenke asked in a low voice.

He is so tall that he is quite conspicuous in the crowd. At the moment when people are panicking, asking these words out loud makes many people around him turn their heads to look at him.

Shen Long didn't have time to answer Xiao Wenke's nonsense, he went a little far away and picked up a stone and smashed it hard at the barbed wire.

Unsurprisingly, sparks flew and the stone shattered into pieces, so he swore another curse word before shaking his head and walking back.

Battle Royale or not, the fact that they are now stranded on an island is pretty obvious.

After sitting for a while, the people in the open space soon became anxious, and the air was filled with restlessness.

Jiang Mu looked at the old woman who was still kneeling next to the charred corpse with dull eyes. There was no fluctuation in her eyes. He stood up and carried the backpack on the side.

The backpack was quite flat and very light, and it didn't seem to hold much stuff at first glance.

He said, "Let's go and look elsewhere."

"Where are you going?" Xiao Wenke subconsciously asked, with a blank look on his face.

Jiang Mu pointed to the distant forest, "There."

This proposal really makes people not want to follow, especially since the forest looks very primitive, so it is not sure where snakes, insects, rats, ants, wild beasts are lying there.

Soaring, lush, and dark.

People have always been afraid of such places full of unknowns.

"Are we really going there?" Xiao Wenke asked again.

"It's better than staying in this open space." Jiang Mu turned his head and looked at the bridgehead that was blown away, "This is not the real ferry of Mimeng Island, we are at the back of the island now, and we have to leave here before the weather is still early. "

Shen Long on the side also put the backpack on the ground on his back, he patted Xiao Wenke on the shoulder and said: "Jiang Mu is right, the terrain here is too low, and it will be completely submerged when the tide rises, we have to cross this forest to the inside of the island." Walk."

As he spoke, he encouraged the surrounding crowd to leave together. For Shen Long, whether it was his tall stature or the aura brought by his status as a policeman, they were all worthy of trust.

In such a time when there is no backbone, his words are undoubtedly a kind of leadership, but no matter how authoritative he is, there will always be a few sporadic people in the crowd who are not willing to join forces and want to criticize.

"Who knows if the tide will rise, and besides, is it a forest? It's a forest! Do you have experience in wild survival? Can you get out of the forest? It's so easy to go, don't you want to bring us to the same place as the broadcast?" Is it a pit in one place? Besides, who are you? Why should we listen to you?"

The one who spoke was also a burly man, about the same height as Shen Long, but with a much more aggressive face.

"I'm a policeman." Shen Long walked over and explained with narrowed eyes.

This answer made many people look up at him in surprise. Indeed, based on his appearance, most people thought he was a gangster, and he was incompatible with the glorious and great image of the police.

As expected, the picker didn't believe it and grinned dismissively: "Oh, you're still a police officer, do you have any proof? Where's your ID, show it for everyone to see?"

Police ID... Xiao Wenke glanced at Shen Long worriedly.

Wasn't that thing impounded along with the suspension?

Shen Long was stuck, his eyes dodged slightly and then he gritted his teeth, "I didn't bring it."

"Isn't it?" The man smiled sarcastically, "I'm still a police officer. Regardless of whether what was said on the radio just now is true or not, the clear reality now is that everyone except those who are with you is untrustworthy. You are so proactive. Stand up and circle people, do you want to be the boss of us victims or do you have any other plans?"

His words awakened many people, some looked at Shen Long and then at the man, obviously hesitating a lot, gradually many people began to subconsciously stay away from them because Shen Long could not produce a police officer certificate.

Seeing that they were about to be separated by the crowd, Xiao Wenke was a little anxious, but neither he nor Shen Long were the kind of people who were good at eloquence, so they couldn't help turning their eyes to Jiang Mu who was still watching the distant mountains and forests.

Although he came back to his senses in the next second and secretly slandered, isn't this one even less able to speak?

"There should be no one here who wants to kill each other."

Jiang Mu turned around suitably as if he had eyes behind him.

"Nonsense! You still need to talk about it." The man answered impatiently.

Jiang Mu looked at him lightly, "This is not nonsense, this is very important."

Jiang Mu's figure was indeed not enough to pose a threat to that man, but for some reason, when he met those indifferent eyes, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart, and a coolness from the heart rushed to his limbs.

"The battle royale mentioned in the broadcast is an arrangement, which people behind the scenes are happy to meet, but it is not our wish. For example, 180 people will be eliminated to 13 people in [-] days. The number [-] is nothing Meaning, it’s just a tool to scare people, if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t exist.”

"Of course, whether to cooperate to leave or to magnify the boring malice with mutual suspicion, this also needs to be considered by you."

What he said was ambiguous, and he neither encouraged everyone to leave, nor pointed the finger at the person who suddenly provoked the trouble. He just walked away without looking back after speaking, towards the mountain forest, walking very calmly.

Shen Long looked at the people around him, but their eyes were always avoiding. Finally, he turned to the old woman and asked, "Mother-in-law, come with us?"

The old lady slowed down and looked up at him and finally nodded. Xiao Wenke stepped forward to help her up, and the three of them walked towards Jiang Mu.

What's funny is that just as they left the open space, there was a rustling sound behind them. Shen Long glanced back and followed them one after another in small groups.

It seems that they don't want to stand still, but also secretly guard against them.

This intermittent team walked through the mountains and forests. There were no roads on the mountains, and there were towering trees everywhere, with luxuriant branches covering the sky tightly. Even though the sunlight shone through the cracks in the branches, the forest was still very dark.

The ground under the feet and the upper feet feel wet and sticky. Fortunately, most people wear pants, so walking is not too uncomfortable.

Jiang Mu was the one who took the lead. Although Xiao Wenke and Shen Long were by his side, in fact, the two of them followed aimlessly.

"Do you know the direction?" Shen Long turned his head and asked, "I've been walking for more than two hours."

Jiang Mu didn't explain anything to him, he just said something while looking at the distance.

"almost."

The walking team dragged on for a long time, the sea breeze was blowing the branches, and the distant waves were beating against the rocky beach on the island wall.

After another half an hour, they finally climbed up the mountain and reached the peak. Shen Long looked into the distance and saw a group of houses, which were very beautifully built, and indeed looked like a high-end resort.

The way down the mountain was much clearer, and there were even roads and steps in many places, which caused the small groups that were originally following them to start going down the mountain by themselves.

Jiang Mu didn't say anything, neither did Shen Long.

The long journey made them not in the mood to think about the relationship between the resort below and the battle royale on the radio. They just wanted to get out of the forest quickly and find an open space to rest for a while.

This wish was soon realized.

Jiang Mu and the others were the fastest walking group, but many people passed them when going down the mountain. Shen Long wanted to chase after them, but Xiao Wenke saw that Jiang Mu was not in a hurry, and forcibly pulled Shen Long to walk slowly together.

Of course, it was also because of the old lady on his back.

"I really admire your temperament." Shen Long dragged his feet and said weakly.

Jiang Mu turned his head to look at him, "The house won't run away."

In other words, why are you in a hurry?

……

Generally speaking, the speed of descending the mountain is faster than that of climbing the mountain. When they reached the bottom, they found a large group of people squatting and sitting in front of a big iron gate about seven or eight meters high. High barbed wire, they walked over, and there was a sign hanging on the big iron gate.

"Challengers, please wait here, the gate will open at 16:00."

Xiao Wenke glanced at the phone in his pocket.

15:26

The wait is short, especially when most people are panting wearily.

Jiang Mu sat on the outermost edge, leaning against the edge of the forest, and was rarely far away from the two of them, but Xiao Wenke and the others didn't care, thinking that he might be suffering from "autism" and didn't want to get too close to the crowd.

As time passed, the time set on the iron gate was getting closer and closer, and more and more people gathered here, and many left behind rushed over one after another.

By 15:58, a crowd of people had gathered in front of the big iron gate.

Xiao Wenke suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Mu, and found that he was still sitting there with his head lowered and holding a piece of yellowed letter paper, with a focused expression.

What it is?

Did he bring it himself?

Xiao Wenke wanted to push through the crowd and walk over to call him, but before he had taken two steps, a loud "click" sounded from behind him.

The iron gate opened.

He just turned around and was on the other side of the mountain, where they came from, there were rumbling explosions, one after another, quite a feeling of shaking the ground.

Xiao Wenke was taken aback, while Shen Long beside him saw a tall barbed wire fence suddenly jumping out from the ground half a meter away from Jiang Mu, "Dangerous! Jiang Mu!"

After he finished yelling, Jiang Mu didn't move, and his expression didn't even feel panicked. Shen Long pushed through the crowd and rushed over to check that he was fine before he was relieved. Just as he was about to curse, he saw three or four people who had just come from outside the barbed wire fence. Those who come down the mountain and drive here.

Probably because they heard the explosion behind them, they ran here in a panic.

It's a pity that the next second, the flames splashed and turned into charred corpses.

As if the air had frozen, most people had seen this scene, Shen Long's scalp felt numb all of a sudden, and there was a piercing electric current coming from the big iron gate, and soon a clear voice sounded.

"Nine people have been cleaned up."

The broadcast started again.
