Following the footsteps, Gao Yi went deep into the mountains and forests.
The vision dimmed and some strange traces began to appear.
"Is this... blood?"
Gao Yi crouched down and pointed his flashlight at a small pool of liquid on the ground.
Under the light, the entire liquid showed a dark red color. Gao Yi tried to touch it with a branch, but it felt unusually sticky and accompanied by an inexplicable smell.
"This does not seem to be the blood of a normal creature."
"Why did it appear here? Did it leave it behind?" Gao Yi pinched his nose, puzzled.
It stands to reason that the other party was not injured.
But what is the origin of this blood?
As we continued to go deeper, an even more bizarre scene appeared. A large amount of liquid suspected to be blood appeared. They were either on the ground, on tree trunks, or on rocks, dotted and mottled, seemingly pervasive.
Gao Yi knew that he had found the right place.
The movements of his body became more and more careful, and he continued to go deeper for an unknown distance, and the scene in front changed again.
The uniform trees suddenly became sparse, and a large clearing appeared in the middle of the forest. On the clearing, a dilapidated-looking farmhouse stood, which was left unknown how long ago.
Around the open space, the liquid that looked like blood was denser, and they seemed to form a trajectory, extending towards the farmhouse in the center.
"Is that thing... staying in this farmhouse?"
Gao Yi tightened his flashlight and picked up a strange painting with the fingertips of his left hand, preparing to approach.
But suddenly, a piercing whistle sounded from somewhere in the distance. Gao Yi vaguely heard the clicking sound of the cargo box, and when he turned his attention back to the farmhouse again.
Everything in front of me has disappeared without a trace, like a mirror in a mirror.
"What's going on?"
Gao Yi stood up and glanced around, trying to find his target again. However, no matter how he searched, all he could see were mountains and forests one after another.
"Disappeared..."
Gao Yi cursed secretly, lowered his head and looked at the time displayed on his phone.
【5:00】
"Is it a matter of time? Does the farmhouse only appear at a certain time at night?"
Gao Yi turned his head and looked at the mysterious liquid that disappeared together, feeling certain in his heart.
Yes, if it is so easy to find this place, someone should have discovered it during the first incident. It is impossible that there has not been any news until now.
It was getting late, so Gao Yi's current choice was to leave temporarily and see if the farmhouse would reappear at the same time tomorrow.
Gao Yi took a deep look in the direction of the farmhouse and returned along the way he came.
The sky is getting brighter.
It wasn't until around six o'clock that Gao Yi returned to the practice base. After a brief blur of monitoring, he was already lying on the bed again, quietly waiting for the morning exercise that started at 6:30.
Dududu——
As if it only took a blink of an eye, the music and whistles came as expected, and the students suddenly got up like corpses and ran to the bathroom impatiently.
Gao Yi yawned and suddenly didn't want to get up.
"Lao Gao, what's the matter with you? Didn't you sleep at night?"
When Mr. Qian saw Gao Yi still sitting like a puppet on a string, he couldn't help but remind him: "Don't be in a daze, the morning exercise will start soon!"
Gao Yi sighed, reluctantly got up, folded the tofu quilt he taught yesterday, and walked out with his roommates.
In the open space in front of the dormitory building, all classes have gathered together.
Gao Yi and others found Lao Luo, who was at the front of the queue, and took their places like gears one by one, and began a day of busy life.
"Yao Er Yao, Yao Er Yao, Yao Er Yao..."
"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-one, hey, hey, the straggler behind, come up to me quickly!"
"And you, haven't you slept at night? Open your eyes..."
The day passed by in a blink of an eye. When night fell again, Gao Yi had already finished his sleep, bypassed the police blockade, and returned to the place where the farmhouse appeared last night.
However, it was obviously the same time and place, but the farmhouse did not reappear as Gao Yi thought.
"Is there something I missed?"
Gao Yi thought to himself and suddenly thought of the location of the first incident. He hurriedly pulled up the map he found during the day on his mobile phone and drew a circle on a place.
A few days ago, the first killing occurred at Farm No. 25.
"And No. 31 is probably located in this direction."
Gao Yi drew a mark at another place. This was the second killing, which is where he is currently.
Compared with Farm No. 31, Farm No. 25 is also located adjacent to mountains, but the two are not close in location. There are a large number of buildings separated by them. It is impossible for mysterious creatures to reach these two places silently through the same path.
at different locations.
"Is it possible that the farmhouse will still move on its own?"
Gao Yi frowned: "That's too outrageous. Does it mean that if I want to find it, I have to search the entire Purple Mountain?"
Purple Mountain is so big that trying to find a farmhouse is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But one thing that is certain at present is that the other party has an unimaginable desire to kill, and the place where he appears next will most likely be near the farm adjacent to Zishan.
"If I want to take action next, I will be too restricted."
Gao Yi listed as many qualified locations as possible and thought to himself: "It seems that we can only ask Xiao Di to help."
Now that the defense of the home has begun to take shape, if Xiao Di leaves for a while, nothing will go wrong.
…
Social practice came to the third day in a blink of an eye.
Today is the beginning of the field practice. On the podium in the auditorium, the person in charge is speaking unhurriedly.
"...This field practice is done in consideration of some special situations that may arise in the future. It is a last resort, but it has to be done. I hope everyone will pay attention to it and learn all kinds of knowledge seriously..."
"We instructors will try our best to pass on our experience to the students... Under what circumstances, what to do, what to pay attention to, what things are useful and what things are harmful, these are all things that students must learn..."
"That's what he said..."
Allen said to Mr. Qian on the side: "One of our students has some special circumstances. Why doesn't he just study all day long? Is it possible that he can suddenly go to the wild?"
Lao Luo explained: "Don't say that. There are problems in the wild, and there are also crises in the city. The important thing is crisis awareness and skills."
"That's right."
Mr. Qian also answered: "The cardiac resuscitation techniques taught yesterday, as well as earthquake response measures, fire response measures, typhoon prevention measures... these are all likely to be used."
"Don't talk about others, let's talk about ourselves. If you pass out while playing a game one day, wouldn't we be able to save you?"
"Get lost." Allen said simply and concisely.
afternoon.
Each class has received supplies and will go to the designated camping site under the leadership of the assigned instructor.
The instructor of Gao Yi's class was named Huang, and he was a tall, thin young man. At this time, instructor Huang was standing in front of the team, holding a small class meeting as usual.
"We will wait for the supplies to come over in a while. The boys will work a little harder and share more. I will let the girls cheer for you."
The students below were dumbfounded.
These days, who cares about girls cheering?
"Instructor! Don't talk about whether girls are girls or not. We only care about your approval - your approval of Baowa!" Mr. Qian roared, rolled up his sleeves, and showed off his bubble meat.
"Yes! We only care about you——"
"Get away from me, I'm not riding a horse in Nantong!" Instructor Huang directly kicked the person back with a dark face.
Teacher Ma returned with the classmates who had received the supplies. The boys each carried them in their backpacks. Everyone lined up in a column and got ready to go in the direction of the scenic spot.
