The Death List Novel - Chapter 734
Chapter 734 Fog
“Alright, alright!” Qin Mei comforted Karin impatiently. She was not used to doing these things and winked at the others repeatedly. In the end, Hill took over her job before it erupted.
As expected of a prodigy, Shepherd’s kindly performance quickly calmed him down and began to describe what had happened to him.
During the riots last night, Luke was the first to die, while Wilson was seriously injured by the Fjords while covering for their escape. He survived until Qin Lun rushed back and died.
Karin and Susan were both kidnapped by monsters, while Steinson and Dana escaped. However, humans are a very strange animal, after fear, escaping Dana and Steinson quickly feel ashamed of their behavior.
They actually dared to follow behind the Fjord Sea Monster, wanting to save their two companions. What was even more unbelievable was that Steinson, the glasses man, had unleashed an unbelievable amount of courage because he liked Susan. He had almost bought Susan and Karin’s escape at his own expense.
The scene at that time was too chaotic. Dana, who was originally hiding at the side, was also discovered by the Fjords. The three girls finally split into two directions and escaped. The seriously injured Steinson was captured by the Fjords.
Not mentioning Dana, who had met Qin Lun and the others in the end, it was just Karin and Susan. The two girls seemed to have had a bad time. After they escaped from the Fjords, nothing good happened to them.
The forest at night was very difficult to tell the direction. They only wanted to stay away from the sea monster, but in the end, they ran further and further into the depths of the forest. As they ran, Karin and then Susan heard strange noises, very similar to the screams of humans.
It had to be said that sometimes the curiosity of humans was really strong. The two girls were still nervous and decided to go together to take a look. As a result, they saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Following the intermittent groans, they arrived at a small pine forest. There, they witnessed a skinny man being ripped open by another man, part of his organs removed, and finally beheaded by a sharp knife with a dog leg.
“Do you see what the murderer looks like? Where’s another girl named Susan?” Everyone glanced at each other, knowing that the man who had his abdomen ripped open should be Carmen, who was found by the search and rescue team at noon today. He was also the glasses man from Allen’s team.
At this time, with the passage of time, the network media about the airport plane explosion news has been endless. Hill and Qin Mei also speculated that the student team led by Alan was the key to this Reincarnation storyline mission, and Qin Lun was most likely already involved in this important storyline.
However, according to the current information, the storyline characters’ team wasn’t limited to Ellen and the others. The girl in front of her, Karin, clearly belonged to another storyline character team.
Around these two storyline character teams, it was clear that they had triggered more than one kind of mysterious power. Death Game, Fjord Sea Monster … If one included the “person” Karin mentioned who liked to rip open the victim’s stomach, there would already be three types of people appearing.
Of course, the last so-called mysterious power could also be Qin Lun. After all, Joey the “Decomposer” also liked to rip people apart and turn them into angels. His personality was also part of Qin Lun’s master character.
“I’m not sure!” When everyone asked about the murderer’s appearance, Karin’s face revealed a strange expression, as if she was lost in memories and hesitating.
“It doesn’t matter. No matter what you see, we will believe you.” Hill’s heart skipped a beat as he comforted him softly, “After all, even sea monsters have appeared. It’s not surprising that other unbelievable things have appeared.”
“I … saw it clearly, but now that I think about it, it’s hard to believe!” After Hill’s encouragement, Karin smiled bitterly and said, “The murderer was wearing a black tuxedo, a top hat, a cane under his arm, and a monocle on his face … He looked like the English gentleman of the early 19th century who often appeared on TV!”
“Disguise?” Everyone exchanged a surprised glance. When they first appeared in the camp, they didn’t conceal their Samsara equipment. They dressed like a group of COSPLAY players. Of course, others could follow suit.
“It doesn’t look like a disguise. I don’t know what to say. Anyway, he acted very naturally, as if he should be an old century gentleman in a gown …” Karin recalled.
“Even if he’s ripping open someone’s stomach?” Rand asked mockingly.
“… Yes, even if he is doing the most terrifying thing!” Surprisingly, after a moment of silence, Karin actually approved of Rand’s words.
“It could also be zombies, vampires, and other long-lived species!” The voices of discussion did not evade Karin.
“Karin, did you see that person’s hand clearly? Did he wear iron claws or other weapons?” Qin Mei blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
“Yes, he wore a pair of leather gloves with iron inlaid on both hands. Each knuckle was fitted with a curved blade, just like a leopard claw that had lost its fur.” Karin’s eyes once again revealed fear, and her shoulders couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
“You’re really carrying a weapon!” Qin Mei looked at the leisurely Hill and frowned. “In that case, I’m afraid they’re not zombies or vampires. Those things don’t need to wear iron claws to rip open a person’s stomach.”
“Stop guessing. You’ll know when you see it.” Hansen, who remained silent, made everyone stop discussing this topic.
“See? Do you want to find the murderer?” Karin cried out in panic, “Aren’t you going to call the police first?”
“If that companion of yours escapes separately from you, then since you can escape, she’s probably already been captured.” Rand said indifferently.
“This is already the depths of the forest. The telephone signal has been greatly interfered with. Besides, the police and rangers need time to get here. That murderer is so vicious. I’m afraid your companion will be dead by then.” Hill replied kindly.
They still needed Karin to lead the way, so they naturally had to let her overcome her fear of the murderer first.
“Susan … You’re right! If Susan had been captured, she would have been dead by the time the police came. I’ll take you there.” Karin’s gaze swept across the shotguns in everyone’s hands, a trace of determination appearing on her face.
Because Wilson had a good impression of Susan, Karin had always regarded Susan as her love rival and had secretly encouraged Steinson to pursue Susan. However, things were different now. Wilson was already dead. In order to save them, Stanson’s life was unknown. Karin no longer had the mood to do so.
Last night, Susan and she were the only ones who could rely on each other to cover for each other at the critical moment of life and death. If they were able to return alive this time, they would probably be even closer than their own sisters in the future.
“Wait, I’ll treat the wound on your foot first.” Qin Mei called Carlene and took out a bandage that had been soaked in medicine. Karin fled all the way. She didn’t know where the shoes on her feet had been thrown, and her limbs were covered in small wounds that had been scratched by shrubs.
After spending a few minutes dealing with the wound, Karin’s spirits were much better. The bandage-soaked medicine contained certain stimulating hormones, which helped her recover a little.
After putting on a pair of Qin Mei’s spare climbing shoes, she took the lead and led everyone into the forest. However, because Karin did not remember the escape route, the team moved very slowly. Sometimes, Hansen had to use the footprints left behind in the jungle to determine the direction.
As they went deeper into the forest, the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a faint mist filled the forest.
“Something’s wrong!” Everyone felt that something was wrong when they were in the fog. However, they were already in the depths of the forest, unable to retreat any further, so they had no choice but to forcibly continue forward.
“I … got lost!” Karin, who was leading the way, finally stopped dejectedly. As an ordinary girl, she temporarily didn’t associate the fog with the mysterious power. In order not to increase her psychological burden, everyone tacitly did not tell her the truth.
“There’s no signal on my phone. I can’t use the GPS or the compass anymore.” Hansen, who was walking behind the group, quietly passed the news to everyone. “Even I can’t identify the route I came from.”
As a mercenary, even without a map, Hansen had a good sense of direction and could remember all the paths he took, even in forests without clear signs and signs.
Now that even he could no longer identify the route he had taken, this region was indeed enveloped by mysterious forces. They might have encountered some mysterious event such as “Ghost Beating the Wall”.
“Confusion of space and time … This is the most troublesome type of mysterious power.” Hill frowned slightly. “Vote, go ahead, or stay where you are?”
The best way to deal with the mysterious power of space and time that could not be explained was to stay where it was. This way, the probability of encountering danger would be reduced. Once this mysterious power dissipated, they would be able to walk out.
The result of the voting was obvious. Apart from Karin, Hill and the others all chose to move forward.
“Haha, how can such a fun thing stop?” Qin Mei smiled and replaced Karin as she walked at the front of the line.
However, the journey that followed was somewhat unexpected. They were advancing in a straight line through the fog, but they didn’t encounter any dangers at all. It wasn’t until Karin couldn’t hold on that they found a clearing to camp in the woods.
The night was terrifyingly silent. The sound of insects could not be heard in the surroundings. There seemed to be many terrifying monsters surrounding them in the fog. Hill and the others solemnly took turns keeping watch until dawn arrived. Only then did everyone realize that they had not slept for almost a night.
“The mist has dissipated!” Rand’s expression relaxed as he looked at the surrounding scenery gradually becoming clearer and clearer.
“Hurry up and come over here!” Hansen’s somewhat strange shouts came from afar.
After walking for a while, they discovered that their camp was on the edge of a cliff last night. Hansen was standing at the edge of the cliff looking down at the scenery below the mountain.
“How far did we go? Is this still Arcadia?” Everyone looked at the smoky country town at the foot of the mountain and looked at each other speechlessly.
