I couldn't help but scream. Chen Qi was also shocked by my scream. At this time, I didn't know where I got the courage from. I forcefully shook off the hand that was grabbing my ankle. A very clear sound of bones breaking was heard as I forcefully swung.
Chen Qi supported my body with both hands and asked,"Brother Shuang, what happened?"
I pulled Chen Qi and ran forward without caring about anything. In the darkness, I pulled Chen Qi and ran for a distance. In the panic, I didn't know where we ran to.
"Brother Shuang, what's going on?" Chen Qi asked anxiously. Could it be that the corpse on the ground is alive?"
I calmed myself down and said," Just now, when I turned around to call you, that thing on the ground grabbed my ankle. I felt that thing holding me tightly. I was anxious and shouted. Didn't I pull you away?!"”
Chen Qi said calmly,"Brother Shuang, maybe you're too sensitive in the dark. Why did the corpse suddenly grab your ankle? Relax!”
At this moment, I realized that my hand was tightly holding Chen Qi's hand. I let go of Chen Qi's hand in embarrassment and said,"Sorry, I really felt that thing grab my ankle just now!”
Chen Qi didn't mind. I held her hand tightly. Chen Qi continued,"Brother Shuang, it's fine. Let's rest here for a while and think of a way to get out. I feel like we've been trapped here for a few hours.”
I said to Chen Qi,"Alright, the most important thing now is to go out. Let's rest first!"”
After I finished speaking, I lit up the lighter and wanted to find a place to sit down and rest. However, when the light from my lighter lit up, I was completely scared silly.
Under the light of the fire, I saw the thing on the ground. That thing on the ground was the corpse we saw just now. At this time, Chen Qi also saw the corpse on the ground. The corpse was like a sleeping child, lying there quietly. I could even see the expression of the corpse.
It was a very serene and quiet expression.
When Chen Qi and I saw the corpse on the ground, our eyes met and cold sweat trickled down my cheeks. "Is this thing following us?" I whispered to Chen Qi.”
This time, I didn't pull Chen Qi along to run because I understood that if we were chased by something unknown in the darkness, it would be impossible to run. I reckon that thing would follow us wherever we go.
Now, it was better to see if this thing was dead or alive, human or ghost.
Chen Qi and I had the same thoughts. It was self-evident. I quietly squatted down. The lighter in my hand was already very hot, but the fire couldn't be extinguished. I took off my coat and lit it.
I believed that the flames could last for a while. Just as my clothes were burning, I clearly saw that the corpse's wrist was broken. One of its hands was drooping. It was obvious that it was broken.
The corpse's hand was broken. What did this mean? It meant that I wasn't hallucinating just now. That thing just grabbed my ankle with its hand. I didn't know where to put my hand. For a moment, I was at a loss. I didn't know what to do next.
"Brother Shuang, what should we do?" Chen Qi asked. This corpse seems to be following us!”
Chen Qi's words woke me up, and my brain started to spin. Now that Uncle An wasn't here, we couldn't tell if this thing was good or bad, but according to the way it grabbed me just now, it didn't seem like a good thing.
However, this thing only followed us and did not do anything harmful to us. However, the corpse on the ground is not a good thing after all. Since it's chasing us closely, it's better to burn it with fire.
Chen Qi lowered his head and looked at the corpse on the ground. Suddenly, Chen Qi said to me,"Brother Shuang, the appearance of this corpse is not a coincidence. Come and take a look at the clothes of this corpse!”
I followed Chen Qi's finger and looked at the clothes worn by the corpse on the ground. Chen Qi's finger was pointing at the right chest of the corpse. There was a badge on the ground. The badge was engraved with the pattern of a gun.
"Do you see this badge?" Chen Qi continued. This badge doesn't belong to our country. It should be something from overseas. I've seen Hu Zi have one before, but I don't know where Hu Zi knocked it down.”
"If my guess is correct, this corpse is not the one we saw just now. Although their clothes are basically the same as their dead appearance, as long as you observe carefully, you will find that this corpse looks different from the corpse we saw just now!”
When I heard Chen Qi say that, I only saw the face of the corpse under the light of the lighter. Besides, I didn't have the mood to look at the face of a corpse. In fact, I didn't dare to look at his face.
After Chen Qi finished speaking, I forced myself to look at the face of the corpse on the ground. As expected, the face of this corpse was a little different from the corpse I saw just now. The face of this corpse was even older.
"Qiqi, what does this badge mean?" I asked Chen Qi.”
Chen Qi lowered his head and said," I heard from Hu Zi that this badge is something that all the mercenaries have. Usually, those who can have such a badge are first-class mercenaries. It seems that someone has been to this place before we came here!"”
However, the more I looked at the corpse, the more afraid I became. Looking at the broken wrist, my heart was always worried. Chen Qi said to me,"Brother Shuang, let's search the corpse. There might be something we can use!”
When I heard Chen Qi say this, I felt embarrassed not to do it. I reached out to touch the corpse, but when my hand touched the corpse's clothes, I felt that it wasn't a corpse, but a pile of sponge.
That soft feeling made me feel like I wasn't touching a corpse, but a gentle sponge. However, my rationality still prevailed over my feelings because I could clearly see that I was touching a corpse.
When my hand touched the badge, I could clearly feel that there was something hard under the badge. I picked up the badge and reached into the pocket under the badge.
I took out a notebook and said to Chen Qi,"Qiqi, there's a notebook here. Take it first. I'll see if there's anything else!”
Chen Qi took the book and looked at it under the light of my clothes. After that, I didn't find anything on the corpse. The only thing that was strange was the feeling that the corpse gave me. It felt soft, as if the corpse wasn't made of flesh and blood, but was completely made of something like sponge.
Chen Qi held the notebook and said to me,"Brother Shuang, it's recorded here. XX year XX month XX day, the four of us came here. When we walked into the forest, some unbelievable things happened one after another. First of all, our captain would howl for no reason. That howl was not the voice of the captain at all, but the howl of a woman. But every time we wake him up, he doesn't remember what happened!”
"Captain's illness became more and more serious. It was only then that we realized that we were lost. We couldn't walk out of this forest. On the third night in this forest, we saw a group of people. You could say that they were a group of human-like things. Although they looked like humans, they were walking on their stomachs.”
"Under the captain's orders, we fired at them, but when the bullets hit them, it was as if they were passing through air. When our bullets passed through, we understood that these were not people or animals. They were a group of ghosts.”
After Chen Qi said this, my clothes were almost burnt. The light was so small that I couldn't see the things recorded in the book. Chen Qi said to me,"Brother Shuang, these are just the first few pages. I think there will be more useful things recorded later.”
Chen Qi took off his coat and put it on my burning clothes. Soon, the fire became bigger.
I faced Chen Qi and quietly listened to him read the things recorded in the book to me.
"In the panic, we got separated. I looked around for my captain, but I couldn't see him at all. I looked around and found a river. I hadn't drunk water for a few days. When I saw water, I ran down to drink. However, when I finished drinking, the reflection in the water wasn't me, but my captain. Looking at my captain, I couldn't help but walk into the river. The water was bone-chilling. I fainted. When I woke up again, I came to this darkness!"
"I spent two days in this darkness, but I still couldn't find my captain. I really couldn't hold on any longer. I thought of committing suicide, but I was afraid that my captain would come back to find me, so I recorded these things. I hope my captain can find me. I saved the last bullet for myself!”
After Chen Qi finished speaking, he looked at me and said,"Brother Shuang, it seems like this soldier is a very loyal person.”
I nodded. At this moment, I suddenly thought of something. If it was really as Chen Qi said, these two corpses were not the same person. However, how could they not see each other at such a short distance? Even if it was too dark here, they could still hear each other shouting.
"Qiqi, let's go back and take a look at the corpse. If it's still there, then this is really weird!"”
