Rebirth Mission

Leng Shangxu and his team had been searching in the forest for several days. There were indeed many wild medicinal herbs in the forest, but they were not as rare as described in the documents.

Disappointment is certain.

For him, these few days were all wasted.

But for the other people, they took this opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of some specific information about other Chinese medicinal herbs, which made the trip worthwhile.

"It's inevitable that the intelligence is wrong. Let's go back tomorrow."

Zhang Ping was one of them. He and Leng Shangxu were alumni of the same medical school and they had a good relationship. This time, he was the first person to respond to his call and come to the forest. He noticed that Leng Shangxu was in a bad mood and tried to comfort him.

"Yes, after all, the accuracy of the information has not been confirmed in advance, and we have gained a lot this time."

The other accompanying personnel also spoke up, fearing that Leng Shangxu might have some psychological pressure. Long before they set off, Leng Shangxu had told them that this trip might not yield any results, so they were all mentally prepared.

"Go back and rest first, it will be dark soon."

Leng Shangxu nodded and led everyone forward.

On the first day they came, they met a ranger. After talking, they understood the reason. The ranger told them that there was a small wooden house not far away that was big enough to accommodate them.

The cabin was used as a temporary resting place for the past few days.

The group returned to the wooden house, which was square with windows on two walls, two beds, a table, two chairs, and two sleeping bags on the floor.

When the door was closing, he heard a rustling sound. Leng Shangxu glanced at it in confusion but didn't pay any attention to it.

There is no electricity in this wooden house, only a well outside. The camping light is turned on and placed in the middle of the table. Several people are sitting on the bed or on the chairs to rest, each doing their own thing.

Leng Shangxu flipped through the document and compared it with the photos he had taken when he first entered the forest. Judging from the trees and the environment, it was indeed this forest.

As for the text on the document, it introduced the forest in great detail and came with relevant data. He had read it over and over again and understood that there were many places in it that didn't make sense, but it listed many conditions that were attractive enough to him. He knew that this trip would probably be in vain, so he didn't publicize it on a large scale and only asked a few familiar people around him if they wanted to come.

And there was another strange thing. The surveillance cameras in the hospital corridor did not capture who put down the documents. There was an academic seminar that day, and after the seminar, everyone left from the conference room on the other side and must have passed by Leng Shangxu's office. It was after that group of people left that there were more file bags on the ground.

The academic conference not only attended from our hospital, but also many doctors from other hospitals, so there was no way to check.

There was only "Leng Shang Xu Shou" printed on the bag, and nothing else.

Who gave this document?

I don't want to know who the other person is.

What purpose?

——During that time, my mother was hit hard by the deaths of her two sons.

Leng Yujing's voice suddenly rang in her mind.

Is it possible...

"Wow."

The sound of metal colliding interrupted Leng Shangxu's thoughts.

There is someone outside the cabin!

What is that sound?

"Click."

Several people in the room looked at each other. Zhang Ping stood up and pushed the door with a puzzled look on his face.

"Can't open it?"

Leng Shangxu's uneasiness was instantly magnified. He walked to the door in two or three steps and pushed it hard, opening a crack. With a metallic sound, an iron chain appeared across the crack.

"this......"

Before Zhang Ping finished speaking, there was a crackling sound outside. Several people turned around and saw a few wisps of white smoke drifting in from the gaps in the wooden wall that was empty, along with the smell of fuel.

——You never know, they might be planning to burn you to death.

Leng Shangxu's pupils suddenly shrank. Even though he had doubted these words before, he couldn't help but believe them now.

"It's on fire! Break the window and get out!"

While they were still in a daze, they heard Leng Shangxu's voice and instantly felt like they had found their backbone. They picked up things at hand and started smashing the windows. People basically can't calm down when they are in chaos and seldom pay attention to the surrounding situation, so that when they broke the glass, they saw the grid pattern of the window frame.

They are all adult men, and they can't even get half of their shoulders through, let alone get their whole bodies out.

As the glass was broken, thick smoke outside rolled into the house, and flames could be seen outside the wooden wall.

Through the firelight, you can see a faint reflection of light on the wood of the wall.

It was actually oiled in advance!

They originally brought camping gear, including tents and tools, but because they met the ranger on the first day and no one wanted to sleep in the wild if there was a cabin, so they only carried things like cameras and notebooks, and at most a sleeping bag and toiletries. Everything else was in the car.

After a quick inspection, I didn't find any tools in the cabin.

There was no axe, no shovel, nothing.

When they first arrived, they only saw that the cabin was clean and tidy, and completely overlooked some details.

If someone really lived in this wooden house, how could there not be any tools or supplies?

And the windows are sealed, with just glass embedded in wooden frames.

This is simply unreasonable.

Leng Shangxu didn't have time to think about anything else. He reached out and grabbed the grid of the window frame and tried to pull it.

The moment I grabbed it, I felt a sharp pain and a few sawdusts stuck in the palm of my hand.

The wood used for the window frame has not been polished. It looks okay at a glance, but only when you look closely can you see that it is rough.

Blood squeezed out from between his fingers, but Leng Shangxu's grip did not loosen at all, and all his strength was concentrated.

The place where the wooden house and the grid are connected is relatively fragile. As long as it can be pulled, everyone will have a chance to escape.

Seeing this, others came up to help pull the pieces, with three people on each side of the two windows.

But the window frame was as hard as a rock and didn't respond no matter how hard I pulled.

Two people pulling at the same position at the same time were indifferent.

"Cough cough cough..."

The smoke becomes thicker and thicker, and after exerting force, the body will instinctively take a deep breath, which causes more smoke to be inhaled.

"Step aside!"

Leng Shangxu picked up a chair beside him, held the back of the chair with both hands and smashed it down.

"Click."

The chair was broken.

"how so!"

"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

"Call emergency services!"

"Yes, yes! Call!"

A man picked up his phone and dialed 119.

"Hello, is this 119? We have a fire here... in the forest... location... there is a wooden house here... cough cough cough..."

They tried to save themselves, but they had no sharp tools at hand and the window frame could not be shaken by hand. As long as they called the police, the fire brigade would be able to locate their position, but it would take at least several minutes for the fire brigade to arrive.

The oiled wooden wall had begun to burn, as if a snake was rapidly climbing along the wall to the roof. When it touched the roof, the flames seemed to be intensified, and a load-bearing column in the middle instantly began to burn, while extending in other directions.

The roof was also painted!

The area of ​​the wooden house is not large. At this time, the roof is already burning, and the sound of wood cracking continues to be heard. In less than a minute, the flames will envelop the entire cabin.

Even if the fire department could rescue them in time, they would not be safe.

Must go out!

Otherwise, when all the wooden houses are on fire, they will have nowhere to hide and can only wait to be burned to death.

"Crack!"
