What followed was the sound of collapse as a large area of earth and rock collapsed.
The sound was huge and endless, like thousands of troops galloping past under the cover of night.
"No, I have to go over and take a look."
Gao Yi found a raincoat, put it on in a hurry, and told the flute waiting for him: "Descartes, you stay here."
"No matter what you hear or see, don't leave the second floor."
The alpaca weirdo made an OK gesture.
Gao Yi turned over and jumped off the balcony. The back of his raincoat fell to the ground. He squatted down on his knees, which had easily relieved him of the force of his fall.
After scouting out a wall, Gao Yi jumped up and quickly kicked off his shadow running shoes. He walked out of the courtyard and plunged into the heavy rain.
In the darkness of the courtyard, a footstep suddenly sounded.
…
This time, Gao Yi couldn't communicate with Xiao Di using the headset.
Because after losing contact in the afternoon, Gao Yi tried to ask Xiao Di to strengthen the surrounding signal to see if he could reconnect with the outside world.
They failed.
Xiao Di told him that the so-called "no signal" this time was actually not an interference source that caused the signal to deteriorate, thus causing a false loss of connection.
But the signal here is invalidated.
Even the headsets between them were unable to communicate.
Therefore, Gao Yi feels very insecure now, fearing that if he goes out for a trip, he will find that his home has been stolen when he comes back.
But there was nothing he could do. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had to seize this breakthrough and figure out what happened on the winding mountain road.
After walking in the rain for a long time, Gao Yi finally arrived at the section where the explosion occurred.
Before our eyes, earth and rocks collapsed, and the rocks were mixed with mud and water, completely submerging the road ahead.
Climbing to a high place, as far as Gao Yi could see, there was only a mass of black earth and rocks standing upright, and it was impossible to see how far it stretched.
"How is this going?"
Gao Yi tightened his raincoat to prevent the drizzle from drifting in through his collar.
"In the afternoon, the mountain clearly had a landslide. Why would it trigger another one now..."
wrong.
Gao Yi was suddenly stunned.
He discovered that he had overlooked an extremely important piece of information.
sound.
Xiaoyuan's mother had previously said that a landslide occurred on the winding mountain road, and from her description, the situation seemed to be very serious.
In a good place, nothing happened, why would a mountain collapse happen? Of course, this is not the point, because Gao Yi had previously determined that meteorites were causing trouble.
But now that I think about it...
No matter who it is or what means it is, if they want to cause the mountain to collapse, there will inevitably be a huge noise.
For example, the explosion just now.
But the problem is that since arriving at the farmhouse, I haven't heard any noise.
So what happened to the "mountain collapse" in the afternoon?
Gao Yi had a vague premonition in his heart.
Everyone has been deceived.
Is it an illusion?
Knowing the existence of skills, Gao Yi did not find this speculation absurd.
His heart tightened, and he searched for any clues that might be left behind.
Not long after, he discovered a pothole.
The pit is quite deep and has a bowl-shaped appearance, like a sea bowl with a large opening.
"It's the traces of explosions..." Gao Yi frowned.
Later, after discovering several identical potholes, Gao Yi was finally sure.
The collapse of the mountain has nothing to do with the meteorite.
This is a man-made chaos!
Don't say that meteorites may have affected people. People have been affected. If you want to cause this level of destruction, you must have explosives on hand.
Who would normally travel to Shan'ao with explosives?
It can only be someone who has planned it for a long time.
Gao Yi followed this train of thought and continued.
An explosion of this magnitude could not have been placed just now. The opponent used a timed detonation method.
The time for setting up should be right after you arrive at noon and before it rains at night...
Gao Yi immediately returned the same way.
There were so many thoughts in his mind at the same time.
Xiaoyuan's mother went out to call the police, and she was suspected of experiencing a hallucination on the way. So, can Xiaoyuan's brief disappearance also be explained by "hallucination"?
During the search, the villagers all said that they had never seen any outsiders passing by, so... this guy could only be one of the few people who visited him at noon.
He didn't want anyone to leave here, so he first controlled Xiao Yuan and forced Zhang Chaoxian and his wife to search, and then used illusions to convey the false situation to everyone in the farmhouse through the beautiful woman.
He must have made arrangements for the villagers. In this way, he completely confirmed the authenticity of the mountain collapse and convinced himself and others.
Until the arrangement is completed, in the dead of night, the real reality is created.
The pattering rain slid down the raincoat.
Under the hood, Gao Yi looked solemn.
No wonder these things today seem confusing. From the beginning, they were on two lines.
One line is a person, and his purpose is to trap himself and others here.
The other line is an anomaly of the meteorite. If the signal is invalid, it is most likely it. If the climber is missing, it is most likely its hand.
Although Gao Yi doesn't understand why the purposes of the two event lines are so consistent.
But at least he knows very well that farmhouses are very dangerous now.
Those who destroyed the highway were hiding among their own people, and the abnormality of the meteorite also kept an eye on Shan'ao.
Returning to the farmhouse, Gao Yi climbed over the wall and landed on the ground quietly, his eyes slightly focused as he carefully looked at the surrounding situation.
Nothing happened?
Gao Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was thinking about climbing up the balcony and returning to the second floor when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the direction of the lobby door.
"Meow."
Is it a meow?
Gao Yi thought of his old man's black cat, but he didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Meow!"
The cat's meowing suddenly became shrill and shrill, moving through the night in a shocking way.
"What happened to it?"
Gao Yi searched for the sound, but found that the meowing cat was still moving. It seemed to be running and screaming at the same time.
The calm was suddenly broken, and even the chaotic rain could not cover up the screams.
In the room on the second floor, the lights were on one by one. Several people who had been sleeping lightly because of their situation all woke up from the bed.
"who!"
At the same time, in the courtyard not far away, lights also came on, and a figure rushed over.
Gao Yi kept an eye on it, transformed into [The Calling of the Mountains], and hid in the shadow of a corner.
In the illustration composition of "Call of the Mountains", there is an R card "Trap in the Light". Its binding makes it passive, which means that in the dark, it will not be easily detected by the target in the light.
Sure enough, the old man wearing a coat completely ignored Gao Yi outside the flashlight and walked straight past him.
"Meow!"
The already hoarse screams became louder and louder each time.
"What's wrong with the store!"
Gao Yi heard the sound of the door being opened in the direction of the lobby, and someone immediately rushed past him.
He is a foreign tourist.
Gao Yi followed them, wanting to see what the cat meowing was about.
"Old man?"
The three of them followed the house to an alleyway formed by a building and a wall. They immediately saw the old man's dazed figure in front of them, and the motionless flashlight in his hand.
what happened?
Gao Yi stepped forward quickly.
In front of me, a black cat was lying on the ground, its body seemed to have been hit by some blunt instrument, showing a ferocious explosion shape.
Pattering...
The cold rain fell and washed away its broken body repeatedly. The blood and minced meat gathered into a dark red river, gurgling in the angle between the drainage outlet.
The old man's eyes are not here.
Gao Yi moved his eyes away from the black cat's body and continued to look forward.
