Chapter 8: Deep in the Mist

It is indeed a great favor for David to be able to walk in the middle of the large army. For example, if his feet slip, the person behind him can pull him. If he doesn't notice the fog spreading, the person behind him can also remind him.

The only pity is that the team members were selected by the lottery that day. This means that there is not much time... to cultivate feelings. This is how human feelings are. If you don’t interact, it will be difficult to arise. When encountering difficulties, helping you is a relationship, and it is normal not to help you.

In front of the desert fields is a large ocean of fog.

This fog looks like it covers the sky and spreads all the way up to the sky. The visibility inside the white fog is completely 0.

Originally, it should be possible to see this heavy fog connecting the world anywhere in the village, but it is strange and weird... Only by approaching the edge of the village can you see this fog.

"In the past, this was the closest road to our village and the next village." David heard a voice coming from behind: "When the fog first started, a villager in the village had just gotten engaged with a girl in the next village. She gave all the bride gifts and made an appointment for the New Year. Now it's ten years... she should have married someone else long ago."

"You mentioned a villager, are you?"

"Ah, bah, bah, bah, bah! It's not me! It's really someone else!"

"Actually, my wife is fine. I was only in my teenage years ago. My parents went to work in the provincial capital and said they would help me save tuition fees, hoping that I could get into college in the future... I have been ten years, and I don't know how my parents are doing."

"I'm not lucky. At that time, the Chinese New Year was almost over, and my parents had already come back first. I remember when the fog came, my dad was thinking about whether he could go back to work after the Chinese New Year... I remember that on New Year's Eve, he still had to patrol with others."

"Actually, it's hard to say whether this is luck or misfortune. Although the fog is stable now, who knows whether it will spread to the village one day... Our relatives are at least absolutely safe outside."

"David," a man behind him asked him at this time, "Your family has not gone out to work, right?"

"I have two uncles and aunts working outside." David said: "The year before the fog came, my two cousins ​​felt that they could not read a good job in studying, so they also went out to work outside. It was said that it was multiple laborers, which could reduce the burden on the family. The two families were actually quite lucky to avoid this damn heavy fog."

Hearing this, everyone else was silent.

"Aren't you jealous of them?" someone asked.

David shook his head and said, "They are my relatives, and it is best to be rescued. I'm not too happy."

"You are so heartless..."

"If it were me, I would be particularly jealous."

"Some people also became lucky because of this heavy fog." A team member said, "For example, that bastard He Yun!"

"That's it! Ge Niancheng, Shen Lisheng and Su Wenxin went to work in the city together. Originally, Shen Lisheng and Su Wenxin had agreed. After saving enough money, they came back to build a house and got married. As a result, Su Wenxin fell in love with He Yun's little face in the city!"

When we talked about gossip in the village, everyone became very excited.

"He Yun is indeed handsome and rich. He is a doctor in a private hospital and has a high income. I still remember clearly that that night, Chen Lisheng brought Su Wenxin back to get engaged. During the engagement banquet, because it was approaching the end of the year, many people in the village came to eat Chen Lisheng's house's seat. As a result, He Yun came to rob the marriage and was successfully robbed by him!"

"But the next day, the fog came. As a result, the two of them couldn't go back to the city and were trapped in the village. Chen Lisheng and Ge Niancheng, the son of the village chief, are good friends. He Yun is not familiar with the place here and has no status at all, but he is a doctor..."

"The village chief also regarded him as a guest of honor. After all, there are only a few barefoot doctors in the village clinic. But if Su Wenxin dared to have sex with this little boy, everyone would not agree. Until five years ago..."

"Okay, stop chatting. Time is coming. Follow the formation we practiced just now, take the bamboo pole and aim the porcelain doll at the other end of the fog. Everyone is cheering up and ready at any time!"

Lin Tai lets the team members chat, which also allows them to suppress their nervousness to a certain extent, so that they will not make mistakes in the subsequent patrol because of their nervousness.

"Yeah, OK, Captain!"

For the captain Lin Tai, the temporary team was still quite convinced by him.

Everyone gradually began to get closer to the white mist.

In the dark night, the rolling white fog constantly makes people feel worried.

Everyone knows that unknown things are hidden in the fog for some reason. Those unknown things always spy on the village in the darkness, causing the white fog to gradually advance into the village.

In fact, even if the patrol team is on a daily basis, if the patrol team fails to use porcelain dolls in time to drive out unknown objects in the fog, the fog may continue to advance into the village.

But in this process, the team members often face life and death danger. When the fog dissipates, perhaps if you are not careful, your body will encounter fog!

This is a battle that concerns the life and death of the whole village!

Most of the people in the village are middle-aged and elderly, and there are a lot of people in their sixties and seventies. They basically no longer have the hope of escaping from the village in their lifetime, especially those whose children work in the city. Instead, they have no worries. Now, they only hope to delay the progress of the fog and can endure until they pass away.

But looking at the fog in front of him, David had a different idea.

At this time, he kept the distance between himself and the fog, picked up the bamboo pole, and faced the porcelain doll with the white fog that was close to him.

Fortunately, this wasteland is not too slippery. As long as you pay attention to your walking, there should not be too big problems.

"Okay! It's nine o'clock! Start the action!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to the regulations of the stone tablet... From nine to twelve o'clock, the three hours must be surrounded by white fog for at least one week. That is to say, after a week of surround, they have to return here. The time is almost the same for three hours.

Everyone started to move slowly, and as they were rehearsing just now, carefully ensuring that they would not touch the white fog.

At the same time, beware of the white mist coming towards you.

"Be careful, pay more attention!"

"Don't just stare at the fog, look at your feet more!"

"Fortunately, the road surface is not slippery yet..."

"Hey, captain!" A female team member suddenly asked, "That, I...I want to ask..."

"What? Say something quickly!"

Captain Lin didn't look back.

"Mist, does it seem to be moving forward...a little? Is there any? Is there any?"

"That's your psychological effect!"

"Psychological effect? ​​Captain, should we retreat slightly to the side?"

"Don't violate the rules of that stone tablet! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"I...I understand..."

The woman almost cried.

David gritted his teeth and paid attention to the white mist next to him from time to time.

The fog doesn't seem to be moving forward.

And... according to what he heard, if the fog moves forward, there will definitely be movements from inside. It’s just that the movements are difficult to summarize the rules.

At this time...

Every minute and every second seem so long that it seems like it will never end.

Because the team was getting slower and slower, everyone was in a different pace. From time to time, people behind collided with people in front of them.

"What are you doing? What if my foot slips and falls into the fog!"

"Who told you to walk so slowly!"

"What if I slip if I walk fast! Why are you walking so fast?"

"Enough!" Captain Lin couldn't bear to see it anymore and shouted: "Is it embarrassing to lose it? Is there any organizational discipline?"

Lin Tai also had a headache. After all, the teams are changed every day, so there is no way to get along with each other and cultivate their sense of teamwork.

But there is no way at the moment. He can only rely on his prestige to temporarily suppress the disagreement in the team.

Fortunately... there is no movement in the white fog at the moment.

I hope this state can continue.

David was also becoming more and more nervous because of this depressing atmosphere.

He looked at the fog and recalled the words of the third uncle back then.
