Chapter 12 Hanging

At this time, more than half of the night has passed, and the tents and other materials have been discarded. We can only hurriedly light up a bonfire and sleep on the ground. Ghost Chen leaned his back against a big tree, and his masked face flickered under the firelight.

It was suddenly dark, and his expression was completely invisible. I suddenly thought: Why is he still wearing a mask when he is in this place?

Is it because they are afraid of scaring these indigenous people?

According to my understanding, he is not such an considerate person. Or is his mask prepared for other people? I thought of Charlie, and suddenly I understood. Ghost Chen's face, to Charlie,

Just like an ID card, once two groups of people meet, they will definitely be incompatible. But now, we are just an ordinary expedition team.

But then, I touched my face again. If Charlie had captured Sun Er, then my face would undoubtedly reveal the identity of the entire team. In this case, what's the use of Ghost Chen's disguise?

I couldn't help but leaned over and asked him why he didn't take off his mask. Ghost Chen didn't even raise his head and said slowly: "That's good."

"Okay?" I looked at his face. Perhaps due to psychological effects, I always felt that his face was particularly stiff, as if a piece of dead skin covered his face, so I said, "Okay, this face

It looks particularly unlucky, it's as white as paper, and although your face is not as handsome as mine, at least it doesn't look awkward."

Ghost Chen said slowly: "There are too many people who look like me, just like copied data." I suddenly understood. Maybe he refused to take off the mask not because he wanted to get rid of someone, but because he wanted to get rid of someone.

Want to get rid of an identity.

The moment he finished speaking, Ghost Chen took off his mask. I don't know how he did it. I couldn't find any cracks, but it was like changing his face in Sichuan opera. He put his hand on his face and changed it.

With fake faces on their faces, the four natives on the other side were still asleep and huddled together, probably talking about today's events. Suddenly, they saw the ghost Chen changing his face, and they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The rest of the people were asleep, and I didn't know how to communicate with them, so I had no choice but to let it go. The ghost Chen Wu covered his head and went to sleep, while I started to keep vigil. Now, I no longer dare to fall asleep together.

The original plan was that Big Buck Tooth and I would take turns to keep vigil, but there were only four hours until dawn, so I simply kept vigil by myself, smoking and thinking about what had happened in the past few days. As we walked away, we encountered

There are so many dangers, and I don't know what the situation is like on Sun Er's side.

Thirty years ago, Chen Mengruo was not as good as he is now in terms of equipment and manpower. He might not have reached Papenermo at all, but died along the way. Charlie might have wasted all his efforts.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a movement. Now I was a little scared. I turned around and found that it was just a bird.

This damn bird stayed up most of the night and actually stood in the tree and peeped.

When I looked more closely, I felt a little uncomfortable. There are so many species of birds in the Amazon that I couldn’t identify the species of the peeping bird in the tree behind me, but its eyes had a very small black pupil in the middle.

, surrounded by gray-white colors, this kind of white-eyed bird is very unlucky among Chinese people. According to legend, this bird can see dead people. Generally, if there is a dead person nearby, or something with a strong yin energy, these birds will be attracted to it.

Not far from us, Shasha happened to be buried not long ago, and this peeping white-eyed bird made me feel very unhappy, so I picked up a hard clod of soil and drove the bird away.

The thing flapped its wings and disappeared into the darkness. I subconsciously looked at Dr. Yang and others. They were tired from sleeping, but fortunately they were not awakened. Then, I subconsciously looked at the place where Shasha was buried.

There is only a short grave mound.

I went back to the tree again, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Grave bag?

This is not China. From time to time we build graves and other structures. After burying Shasha, we covered it with soil. The entire burial ground was flat. How could there be a raised grave now?

I immediately got up, grabbed a burning torch and walked towards the burial place. However, when I got there, I was stunned. There was only a big pit in front of me. The corpses in the pit were gone and the soil was turned over.

It comes out, so from a distance, it looks like a newly repaired tomb.

Where did the body go?

Was it snatched away by some wild beast?

Damn it, I didn't even know there was a wild animal approaching during my vigil?

It must be a big thing if it can take something belonging to one person.

I immediately became alert and searched near the grave. Soon I saw a trace. The trace extended from the corpse pit to the distance. It looked like a crawling trace or a trace of something being dragged. Due to the ground,

There is a layer of fallen leaves, so the traces are not obvious, but it can be seen that this accident happened not long ago, so there are still traces to follow. If I find it later, and wait for the crushed fallen leaves to stand up again, I am afraid that there will be

Even this trace has disappeared.

What took away Shasha's body?

I didn't have any weapons on me, and I didn't dare to check rashly, so I went back to the equipment pile to get a gun. I was about to wake up the ghost Chen and others, but when I saw their tired and deep sleeping faces, I felt like I couldn't scream.

The feeling of sound.

Too tired.

Everyone needs a good rest.

I paused in my mind and thought: If it was really a large beast, the body would have been destroyed by now, and there was no point in trying to catch up. We might as well go and see it by ourselves first, as long as the thing wouldn't pose a threat to us.

, it doesn’t matter.

With this thought in mind, I added two handfuls of firewood to the bonfire without disturbing the others, then returned to the corpse pit with my gun and flashlight, and followed the traces.

Following the traces, I gradually relaxed. Because I was dragging rusty things, the nest should be some distance away from us. Many animals have the habit of bringing prey back to their nests to eat. As I followed along, I saw no traces of blood.

If the thing's lair is so far away from us, then it probably won't come back to attack us after taking Shasha away. I decided to retreat. As for Shasha's body, I can only say sorry. He is already dead. If for her

Another fierce fight between the corpses would not only be too much for everyone's physical strength, but would also be accompanied by sacrifices. I said sorry to Shasha in my heart and was about to step back, but when I turned around, I suddenly saw another white-eyed bird.

What a heck!

I had the urge to curse. Seeing a white-eyed bird is definitely a bad thing. I even thought that this was the bird I just chased away. Why did it come back? Could it be that all the animals in the Amazon are treating me badly?

I have a special affection. Not only do snakes like to stare at me, but even birds like to peek at me?

Could it be that this bird is also female?

I was too lazy to chase it this time. I just thought that bumping into it twice was a very bad sign. I felt a little embarrassed, so I turned around and walked back. However, at this moment, there was a sound coming from behind me.

A rustling sound in the leaves, like a snake stirring the branches as it crawls up the tree.

In this situation, people are particularly alert. I turned my head subconsciously, and at a glance I discovered that there was a person lying vaguely on a big tree behind me.

Why is there anyone here?

Is it Shasha?

Her body was carried into a tree?

I swallowed, subconsciously clenched the gun, and stared at the figure on the tree. However, at this moment, the figure suddenly moved. Her movement made me feel something was wrong. If it was Shasha, then as a

A dead person should be lying down after being taken away, but why is the figure lying on all fours?

Isn't it Shasha?

What kind of indigenous people are they?

Due to poor sight, I couldn't see clearly, but my impression of the indigenous people was not good. If I disturbed them rashly at this moment, I might be greeted by poisonous arrows and other things at the next moment, so I hid sideways.

Behind a tree, the light of the flashlight did not dare to shine forward, but only shined around him. The situation on the tree became even more difficult to distinguish, and even the human figures blended into the darkness.

I hid behind the tree for a long time, but still didn't hear any other noise. I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that I was too worried? What was on the tree was not an indigenous person, but a rustling corpse? What kind of thing would like to be in a tree?

How about settling down?

I thought of things like snakes, but if it was a big python, I'm afraid it would have swallowed Shasha on the spot and wouldn't have waited until now. How did it happen?

After a long while, I couldn't hold it any longer, turned the searchlight forward, pointed the gun at the tree with one hand, and slowly approached the tree. It would be better if I could save Shasha's body. If not, just rely on it.

The gun in my hand, even the big snake, can't kill me. I, Sun Miao, am no longer the same Sun Miao I was. My marksmanship is now very good.

After walking forward for a certain distance, the body on the tree gradually became clear. It was vaguely a woman, and it turned out to be Shasha. I felt happy and breathed a sigh of relief, but then, this breath almost choked me to death, because

I saw Shasha's hand suddenly move, and her head turned towards where I was. When she turned her head, the eyeballs in her eyes were gone, and two black eye sockets were staring at me. In an instant, I almost

I want to slap myself in the face to see if I am having a nightmare.

But before I could slap myself, Shasha suddenly fell from the tree. I jumped back, but Shasha did not fall to the ground, but hung in the air. Only then did I see her neck.
