Snake Swamp Ghost Town (Part 2) Chapter 23 Night 2: Shadow Movement

The lighter was still alive, and it must have been extinguished quickly after burning it. But the problem was that I couldn't see any fire, and it was just black in front of me.

I didn't react at all at that moment. I subconsciously thought there was something covering my eyes, so I touched it with my hands. When I touched my eyelashes, I realized it wasn't it. Then I wondered, thinking to myself, what the hell was going on.

Is the fog here too thick? I lit up my watch and held it to my eyes to read. It was still pitch black, and I gradually discovered that this darkness was extremely even.

I was still very confused, because I didn't have any such concept in my mind, so Monk Zhang Er was almost confused. I waved my hands vigorously, trying to disperse the darkness in front of me, but I always felt that I could push away the darkness with a wave of my hand. But it was of no use at all.

After being confused for a long time, I calmed down and carefully thought about what was going on. It was dark outside and there was no sound. Could it be that something happened while I was sleeping and blocked all the light?

But this didn't make sense. I couldn't see the light even though I was so close. As I thought about it, I slowly came to my senses, and an idea came to my mind that made me break out in a cold sweat.

It's impossible to block the light. In this situation, am I blind?

I can't believe this concept has never occurred to me. It's so out of the blue. But I was already frightened in my heart. That kind of fear was different from any fear before, even far beyond the fear of death. I started to rub my eyes hard and blink hard subconsciously until my eyes hurt so much that I couldn't open them. Then it stopped.

Then I immediately thought of Pan Zi, crawled over and pushed him, trying to wake him up and ask if he could see the light. After pushing for a few times, I found that his whole body was very hot, and it was obvious that he had a low-grade fever. He didn't wake up after being shaken for a long time.

I sat down and thought to myself, this is terrible. I took a few deep breaths, and immediately thought of the oil bottle and the fat man. If I was really blind, then it was a kind of blindness. There must be a reason for blindness, such as light burns or It is impossible for people to become blind without any reason due to poisoning. So, it’s possible that I’m not the only one who suffered.

If they weren't blind and I was the only one who suffered, then they were probably outside the tent and just didn't make a sound. I immediately climbed to the edge of the tent, listened to the movement outside, and softly called a few times: "Fat man!"

After waiting for a while, no one responded.

My scream was not too soft. It was impossible to hear it in such a quiet place, unless both of them fell asleep, but there was absolutely no way Menyouping would fall asleep.

I broke out in a cold sweat, and thought to myself that something must have happened to them. I sat back, and thought about our speculation a few hours ago, and I suddenly became confused. I thought, could this be the sudden change that Third Uncle and the others encountered?

Can camping here make people blind?

We were as confused as a horse and couldn't understand it at all. We thought of countless possibilities, but we never thought it would be like this.

In this kind of place, for a group of normal people, this sudden blindness is equal to the death of all members, or even more terrible than death.

I was trembling all over, and countless images flashed through my mind. I thought of myself groping in the rainforest, unable to see anything, and without the blind person's adaptation to hearing. It was only a matter of time before I died, and I was afraid I would go through a long period of extreme horror before I died. experience.

But what exactly caused my blindness? food? We ate compressed biscuits all the way without any problems. Could it be this ruins?

I was still calm, probably because I still couldn't accept the fact that I was blind. At this moment, suddenly, a strange voice came from outside the tent, quite far away.

I shivered and immediately listened, and what I heard turned out to be what we heard in the rainforest, the kind of human voice that was similar to the static of a walkie-talkie, rising and falling, indescribably weird.

The ferocious figure standing like a snake appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel my throat tighten. Why the hell is this thing still lingering?

What is it that makes this sound? Is it An Ning? If only my eyes could see,

I wanted to take a sneak peek, I was so fucking blind at this time.

But even if this thing is not a snake, it must be moving with those snakes. Apparently, that kind of venomous snake has appeared near the camp. Immediately, my mind became tense and I immediately thought of the tent curtain, which I had just closed. Door? I can’t see it and don’t know it, I have to touch it.

I thought about going to the tent door immediately, but as soon as I touched it while trembling, someone suddenly squeezed in from the door and knocked me down. As soon as I got up, I was immediately held down and my mouth was covered. .

I was scared to death, but then I smelled the sweat on the fat man's body, and then something pressed against my face. When I touched it, it was a gas mask.

I immediately stopped struggling and put on the mask, and then I heard the fat man say in a low voice: "Don't panic, this mist is poisonous, you can see it after putting on the mask for a while, don't speak loudly, there are snakes around this camp." "

I nodded immediately after hearing this. The fat man let go of me, and I asked softly, "Where did you go just now?"

"It's a long story that a son doesn't have a mother." The fat man said, "Do you think it's easy to find a few gas masks in the dark?"

I cursed you for not listening to me, and then the weird static sound came back to me for a while, much closer to us, and the fat man immediately hissed nervously. "Do not talk."

I immediately fell silent, and then I heard the sound of the fat man turning things over. I didn't know what he found out after turning it over a few times, and stuffed it into my hand. When I touched it I found it was a dagger. I thought to myself, what are you doing, and I heard him touching the tent entrance.

I immediately reached over and grabbed him to prevent him from moving. He broke away and whispered softly: "My little brother was bitten. I have to save him immediately. You must stay here and don't move until you can see him!" "

My brain exploded after hearing this, and I thought no way. Before I could figure it out, the fat man went out, and I just froze there, feeling like the world was spinning.

The first thing that surprised me was that Menyouping was bitten. The fat man didn't say anything clearly, but those snakes were extremely venomous. I didn't dare to think about whether I could save him after being bitten. Then, what surprised me was that even with Menyou Ping's skill and vigilance, he could be bitten. So what was going on outside.

I was so anxious all of a sudden that I really wanted to go out and take a look right away, but I couldn't see anything. At this time, an ominous thought came to mind, what if the fat man also fell into the trap? Damn it, I'm here alone with Pan Zi, it's really scary.

The anxiety was indescribable. Everything was pitch black. I didn't know how long it would take to recover. The situation outside was extremely dangerous. I touched the dagger in my hand, and my whole body was stiff as if dead. I didn't know if the fat man gave me this thing to kill me or to defend myself.

But there was nothing I could do. I could only sit there. Listening to the movement outside, I huddled up to suppress the trembling feeling in my body.

Just listening to the outside, I still couldn't hear anything. I definitely couldn't imagine what it would be like to be full of snakes outside. The static-like sound did not continue to get closer, but it continued intermittently. Listening to the distance, the closest place was at the edge of our camp, but it didn't get any closer.

I don’t know how long it took - I had no concept of time at all, and my mind was completely blank during that time - I calmed down a little. People can’t sustain an emotion continuously. After the tension reaches the limit, my body becomes soft. Come down.

Gradually, my eyes began to become misty, and the black began to fade, but it was not like a tide, but the black became lighter, and a layer of misty gray fog appeared in the black in front of me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and could finally see the light. I didn't know how to make him recover faster, so I kept blinking.

Slowly, the gray layer became whiter and whiter, and the progress was very fast, and some outlines soon appeared in the gray.

This may feel a bit like something seen with severe myopia. I turned my head and found that the light in front of me should be caused by the miner's lamp not being turned off. I raised it and looked around, and sure enough, the light and shadow in front of me changed. It is true that my eyes have improved.

But with the current blur, I still can't tell where the tent's exit is. I can only see some rough shadows.

I heard that Mao Zedong burst into tears after regaining his sight after cataract surgery. Now I feel that I can deeply understand this mixed feeling of joy and sorrow. Many things must be lost in order to understand how precious they are. Just when I was about to take a look at Pan Zi with my blurred vision, I suddenly saw a shadow moving in the black shadow in front of me.

The situation in front of me was very blurry, and even the outline was indistinguishable, but I could tell that something was moving in front of me. I didn't really believe in my vision. I thought it was an illusion caused by visual recovery, so I ignored it and started to touch Pan Zi bit by bit. Soon I touched Pan Zi's hand and found that the temperature was normal. I was surprised that the fever went away on my own. It's okay, I can't give him an injection now.

I went to touch the kettle to give him a drink of water. When I turned around, I suddenly saw something flashing in front of me. This time, as my eyesight gradually improved, I found that the movement of the shadow passing in front of me was very strange. It's an illusion.

I was stunned for a moment, then turned my face in the direction of the shadow. Looking desperately, I saw a black shadow that was as blurry as mist, and it looked like something with limbs.

I got goosebumps all over my body, and I thought to myself, is there something else in this tent? What came in when I was blind just now?

Fat man? Stuffy oil bottle? But they won't stop talking. I squeezed the dagger tightly.

Suddenly the shadow moved again, very fast, and I couldn't help but shouted softly: "Who is it?"

The shadow suddenly stopped, and then moved faster. I saw it running to a place, shaking non-stop. My vision gradually gathered, and the movement became more and more vivid, and I realized it. I was rummaging through a backpack, looking for something, and I noticed the smell of swamp mud.

I immediately let out a sigh in my heart, thinking that this person must also be smeared with mud. Who is he? Thinking about it, I slowly moved my body, wanting to get closer and take a look.

Before he pounced, the shadow shook again, then stood up and moved quickly. Before I could react, I turned around and realized that he was gone.

All this happened so fast, I was a little confused. I thought to myself, could it be my illusion? I suddenly thought of what I saw in the TV series. After regaining my sight, my vision will be delayed at the beginning. Could it be that what I just saw was the scene when the fat man came in? ?

But almost at the same time, there was a sudden light and dark accompanied by violent breathing, and I saw a large overlapping shadow rushing in. I almost fell in. I heard the fat man gasping in frustration: "Turn off the lights! Turn off the lights!" Miner’s lamp!”

I couldn't react, so he snatched it away. The lights turned off and the light around me dimmed. He immediately whispered: "Lie down, be quiet, and no matter what happens, don't make any noise."

I immediately lay down, and I could feel the fat man lying down too. I could still hear him panting at first, but I could feel that he was trying his best to restrain himself. Soon his panting became very weak. I was wondering why I was lying down. Next, suddenly I heard a muffled sound, as if something hit the tent next door, and the impact was very hard. Then, there was another blow, and I could hear the crisp sound of the bracket breaking. Then I heard the sound of a tent collapsing. Apparently the tent next door was damaged.

My face was blue, and before I could react, our tent suddenly shook, and it was obvious that something had penetrated it.

I immediately felt a stab from Tian Ling Gai and immediately held my head, thinking that the next blow would definitely be this tent.

But what I didn't expect was that there was no attack. I held my head like this for a few minutes, and the violent impact sound appeared in a relatively distant place.

I thought to myself, what the hell is going on? What's out there? I was about to tell the fat man that we should run away, but the fat man covered his mouth before he could open his mouth.

There were several loud noises outside, and there was the sound of tents collapsing again, and then a few minutes later, there was the same movement again. This lasted for half an hour, far and near. I estimate that more than a dozen tents were destroyed. We lay down There, every time it hits our hearts, we pause. The torment is like the feeling of being bombed. We don’t know when the bomb will fall on our heads.

It wasn't until it was quiet for a very long time that we gradually realized that this wave of attacks might be over. Slowly, I don't know who was the first to react. We all sat up, and I found that my eyes were basically closed. has been restored. Although it's still a little blurry, you can see the colors and the outlines of the characters.

After touching it, I realized that the remaining blur was also due to the fog on the gas mask lens. After wiping it off, it became clear.

I saw Fatty and Menyouping. Menyouping was injured and covering his wrists. Fatty was covered in blood spots. The two of them were covered in mud. They were as embarrassed as if they had just come out of a pigsty. Apparently there was some serious chaos last night.

We still didn't dare to speak. After waiting for a while, the fat man secretly opened the curtain. As soon as he opened it, light suddenly came in. It turned out to be dawn.

Then he walked out cautiously. I asked Mengyou Ping, and he waved his hand and said it was okay, and followed him out, and I followed.

The fog had almost receded, and the morning light was very low but I could already see everything. When I came out and turned around, I was shocked.

All around us, the entire camp collapsed, and all the tents were rotten, as if they had encountered an extremely powerful tornado. If it were a large area, only our tent was left standing there alone. There was nothing around, no attack on us, no sign of any snakes.

The fat man cursed and sat next to the campfire that was almost extinguished. I was stunned and unable to react. At this time, there was a sound of a limb falling behind me. I looked back and saw that Mengyouping had fainted on the ground.
