Paintings of Terror

The three cars that set off in full gear drove into the canyon at a medium speed.

In the eyes, there is an endless wasteland that meets the sky. On both sides of the canyon, there are distant mountains covered by long-term snow. If it is in a sunny day, it must be majestic. At this time, under the gloomy sky, it seemed extremely cold and rigid.

The snow and sand are still falling, and there is a layer of white on the withered pasture, and not far from the driving route of the convoy, there are jagged rocky beaches lying there quietly with thin river water, under the cold and gloomy sky. Dead silence.

"Pay attention to the two cars behind, try to follow my rut and don't deviate from the route," Mu Yiran's voice came from the intercom, "There may be a lot of rat holes under the ground, and it is easy to cause collapse when the wheels press on it. If you see my car bogged down, brake in time."

Luo Kuo and Shao Ling answered on the walkie-talkie, and moved forward with more concentration.

A gust of wind suddenly came from the distant wilderness, plucking the withered grass, and kicking up a piece of flying sand and rocks. The snow sand and gravel crackled on the car window. The squalling and sharp roar of the wind.

Everyone was a little terrified, no one spoke in the car, they just stared at the desolate and gloomy distance outside the car window.

"What's that?!" Wu You suddenly pointed to the windy, snowy and sandy place far outside the window, where there were two huge black shadows, definitely not people, nor cars, nor rocks, because they were moving!

"Don't be nervous," Yue Cen's gentle voice was very soothing, and he handed the telescope in his hand to Wu You, "I think it should be wild yaks, as long as we don't get too close, they won't attack us. "

"Yak?" Wu You hurriedly looked out through the binoculars. Although the visibility was not high due to the wind and sand, he could still roughly see that the two black shadows were indeed two wild yaks, "My God, why are they so big? "

"Some wild yaks can weigh half a ton, and a wild yak in an attacking state can even overturn a moving jeep." Yue Cen said, "It seems that there are no creatures in Death Valley. good phenomenon."

"But I always feel that those two wild yaks look weird..." Wu You stared into the distance through the telescope, "I wonder if it's because their body hair is too long, they look like they have no feet It's as if you're on the ground, how should I put it...it feels like two groups of black shadows..."

"With such a strong wind blowing, even a wild yak weighing half a ton would probably feel ecstatic," Ke Xun said.

Wu You knew that he was comforting himself, so he didn't say any more, and looked away with the binoculars.The cold and magnificent mountains in the distance are slowly receding, but the nearby area is still desolate. The three vehicles continue to drive forward cautiously. Fortunately, they are off-road vehicles. They all drove past without any risk.

In the next hour or so, everyone saw some other wild animals, such as antelopes, wild donkeys, foxes, and even wolves.

Fortunately, there were not many wolves in this group, only five or six. After seeing the huge off-road vehicle, they just watched from a distance for a while, and did not walk around.

And even though they are dangerous animals, everyone feels very relieved, as if this dangerous place has life with animals, it is not so lifeless, people can't see any hope, just like a real hell.

However, as the depths of the canyon gradually deepened, and the time became later and later, no animals could be seen from far or near. The violent, constantly bigger gravel was rolled up and smashed on the car.

"It seems that a snowstorm is coming." Shao Ling's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"No wonder I feel more and more cold." Wu You rubbed his arms. Although the air conditioner in the car was fully turned on, there were still bursts of chill that seemed to be able to penetrate the thick car skin and hit the whole body.

"I'm a little...difficult to breathe..." After all, Hua Jiqiu was a bit old, and Qin Ci, who was in the same car, quickly handed him an oxygen tank.

"Should we find a place to avoid the limelight first?" Li Xiaochun said.

"The surface here is similar to a plain, and there are almost no major ups and downs. I'm afraid we have nowhere to hide," Luo Xie said nervously.

"Let's find a place near the water to set up camp," Mu Yiran said, "Let's go here today, and it's not advisable to drive in a snowstorm."

The river beach in the valley sometimes disappears, and everyone can't see the water source as far as they can see, so they continue to drive forward to find the water source, but the bitter wind roaring from the top of the snow mountain is getting stronger and stronger. It became more and more ferocious, and the dead grass and sand and stones were thrown up all over the sky. The snow and sand that had fallen on the ground were lifted up to the sky again. Like a meat grinder, the visibility in front of him is only a few meters, and the whole world is shrouded in a huge screen of gray and pale.

"Oops! I can't see the car in front of me!" Luo Wei was shocked, his face turned pale with fright, "What should I do? What should I do?"

"Don't panic, keep going in a straight line." Zhu Haowen in the co-driver said calmly, and then called the car in front through the intercom, "Yi Ran, can you hear me? Please reply if you hear it. Please reply if you hear it. Shao Ling, can you hear me?" Are you there? Please reply if you hear it, please reply if you hear it."

However, there is only a buzzing noise in the walkie-talkie, and no human voice can be heard.

"Brother Wen'er, the navigation is not working!" Luo Wei looked at the display screen in panic, "Can you try the compass and it still works?"

Hearing this, the other members of the car hurriedly took out their things, some took out a compass, some took out a GPS locator, and some took out a mobile phone. However, no matter whether it was electronic equipment or mechanical equipment, all navigation tools were useless.

"Old Qin, you continue to try to call the other two cars." Zhu Haowen handed the walkie-talkie to Qin Ci, took out his pistol, pulled the safety catch, and lowered half of the car window. After getting into the car, Zhu Haowen stretched out his arm with great effort, and fired a shot into the sky.

The sound of gunfire was quickly swallowed up by the whistling wind. Zhu Haowen retracted his arms, closed the car window, and patted the snow, sand, gravel and dry grass on his hair. "Fasten your seat belts," he said, "Carrot, stop the car." Come down with the lights on."

"Stop like this, will Xiao Shao's car hit us?" Hua Jiqiu took a deep breath of oxygen and said.

"We all drive slowly, especially with this kind of visibility, Shao Ling will be more careful." Zhu Haowen understands Shao Ling's cautious and suspicious character very well, "Even if it hits you, it will not cause personal injury, please don't take off your seat belts. I think the front runners will stop if they see us falling behind, we'll just wait here and they'll come for us."

Everyone fastened their seat belts as promised and stayed in the car.

Luo Kuo put on the handbrake and rubbed his hands. It was obvious that the car was very warm, but his hands were already stiff and cold, and even broke out in a cold sweat.

"Brother Wen'er, what do you think is the reason... Could it be that the painting is behind the scenes?" Luo Yu asked Zhu Haowen with a pale face, "Could it be that we have entered the painting by accident? "

"I don't know either, but your suspicion is very likely." Zhu Haowen stared at the dark and doomsday scene outside the window for more than ten minutes without blinking, and finally saw something that seemed to be in the chaos in the distance. There was a glimmer of light.

"Carrot, hold your guns." Zhu Haowen said in a deep voice, "Old Qin, you too."

The three people in the back row were in a hurry.

Luo Wei picked up the gun tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Wen'er... what are you looking at? Is it a monster or... a ghost?"

"I don't know," Zhu Haowen clenched the gun in his hand, "Listen, don't shoot lightly, so as not to hurt your own people. If you are nervous, don't put your finger on the trigger."

"Understood, Brother Wen'er... I'll take it as if I'm playing real-life CS..." Luo Kui prepared himself mentally, took a deep breath, and held the gun steadily.

A few minutes later, the flickering light just now turned on again, this time it did not flicker out, but continued to light up, and it became brighter and closer, until it slowly revealed Knight Fifteen. The sturdy and domineering body of the world came.

"It's my brother and brother-in-law!" Luo Kuo cheered, put down the gun in his hand, and only held it for a few minutes, but his arms were stiff, sore and tired.

However, Zhu Haowen was still holding the gun, watching the oncoming car vigilantly. The car stopped five meters away, the door of the passenger side opened, and a man jumped out. With a gun in his hand, he looked like a terrorist, but when he walked steadily towards this side, he could bring people an infinite sense of steadfastness and peace of mind.

The man walked to the side of the car and knocked on Luo Kuo's window. Luo Kuo was about to open the window, but Zhu Haowen held him down: "Tell him to take off the mask."

Luo Kuo reacted for a moment, quickly said "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

The people outside the window read Luo Kuo's hand gestures, and returned a middle finger to him in a very speechless manner, then untied the scarf and took off the mask, showing a face of "I'm about to step on my horse, I'm blown to death by the wind, hurry up and open the window" .

Luo Kuo opened the car window and was choked by the cold wind. He coughed and choked and covered his mouth: "Brother! That's great! We thought we lost you and scared me to death..." He really started crying.

Ke Xun knocked him on the head, and said loudly in the strong wind outside the car: "You guys wait here first, we will drive to the back to find Shao Ling and the others!"

Zhu Haowen also sent out the words loudly: "Be careful not to get separated again!"

"Don't worry, we won't go far. If we still can't find them within a certain range, we'll come back and wait for them here!" Ke Xun motioned to Luo Xi to close the window, and turned back to the opposite car. The car started and drove slowly in the direction it came from.

Sure enough, Shao Ling acted cautiously, the car was parked not far from Luo Kuo's car, the three cars joined together again, and everyone crowded into Mu Yiran's car for a temporary meeting.

"All the navigation equipment is out of order." Shao Ling's face was blown by a knife-like cold wind, and a plateau red was smeared on each cheekbone on both sides, looking very down-to-earth.

"If it is true as we said before, there are super-magnetic basalts underground in the Lengele Canyon," Yue Cen handed him a thermos cup filled with hot ginger tea, "then electronic instruments will be disturbed by the magnetic field." It is not surprising that tools such as the compass and compass fail.”

"I think we can't go any further," Qin Ci said, "Curator Hua and Qingqing are not in good condition, and even if we find a suitable place to camp, I'm afraid we won't be able to camp in this weather."

"Old Qin is right," Ke Xun said, "we may only make do with the night in the car tonight, we will change cars later, the ladies are in one car, it is convenient to rest, but a man needs to be escorted in the car , Brother Qin, I will trouble you, and take care of Qingqing by the way."

"Okay." Qin Ci nodded.

"The rest of the people share a car with four people. Let's get some food first, and then go to bed early, but someone needs to be on duty at night. Everyone looks at the arrangement. Don't stay on duty all night alone, and come on a different shift." Ke Xun said.

Everyone agreed, and Zhu Haowen said: "The problem now is that the navigation is out of order, and neither the walkie-talkie nor the mobile phone can communicate with each other. If this is still the case tomorrow, our progress may be even more difficult."

"It doesn't matter, I brought a tow rope," Ke Xun said, "If this is still the case tomorrow, let's connect the three cars together with a tow rope."

Zhu Haowen didn't say anything more.

Wei Dong suddenly asked everyone: "Which one of you fired the gun at that time? It's enough to fire a bullet, and you can also release a shuttle with a crackle. Is it enjoyable?"

Luo Kuo and Zhu Haowen looked at each other in surprise.

"I only fired one bullet into the sky." Zhu Haowen said.

"Huh?" Wei Dong and Shao Ling also looked at each other in surprise, "What about everyone? Who else has fired a gun?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Shao Ling frowned slightly: "We heard a series of gunshots from behind, and the sounds came from all directions, and they started first and then followed, and lasted for about ten seconds."

This time, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran looked at each other: "We heard it from the front, so we realized that there might be a problem behind you, so we turned around and looked for it."

Everyone fell into a stiff silence for a moment, and after a long time, Li Xiaochun swallowed his saliva and said, "In the valley... there are other people, or...'things'?..."

The author has something to say:

Howen: I only fired one bullet.

Shao Ling: But we heard a series of gunshots from behind, coming from all directions.

Ke Xun: Fortunately, it was just a shot instead of peeing.

Everyone: (imagining the scene) ... Shut up.
