Chapter 64, Satellite

When everyone saw these two lines, the atmosphere in the entire cavern instantly dropped to freezing point.

After entering the forest today everyone hadn’t actually encountered any dangers, and other than the fact that they hadn’t slept all night causing them to be very tired, nothing strange had happened anymore.

This gave everyone an illusion: it was as if this place was safer than the canyon and the previous journey, and they even almost forgot about the reminder that no living person should enter the canyon.

But at this moment, they all remembered.

The missing body of Xu Xia, the terrifying human-faced bugs, and the four big words, “The living do not enter.

“Did anyone go missing on our journey?” Xu Xianchu’s first reaction was to count the number of people, only to find that indeed none were missing.

“Could this be a prank carved here by someone,” Liu Bu said doubtfully, “There are no signs of fighting inside this cavern, and we haven’t even seen a single beast or human corpse on the way.”

Wait a minute, Liu Bu’s words instead woke up Ren Xiaosu, in fact the strangest thing is right here: unusual forests are bound to have animal bones, no matter whether they are birds, snakes or larger beasts, this is a very common thing.

But the strangest thing about this forest was that Ren Xiaosu really didn’t see any bones once, only the mouse he had just discarded.

At this time Ren Xiaosu wanted to turn back to confirm if the bones of that mouse had similarly disappeared, after all, the time of discarding was too short, it could be that when he went to see it in the morning it was still just white bones, and now it had already disappeared.

Like Xu Xia and Fish Flesh Fish Bone.

This huge forest was hiding a creepy secret, a soldier asked, “It looks like a group of people came here within a year, the number of people is quite a lot, it’s just that we don’t have any people coming to the Transit Mountain in Barrier 113.”

“It might have been someone from Barrier 112 who wanted to come to our barriers, but there was an accident,” Xu Xianchu carefully recalled, “But we’re all private troops at the bottom of the ladder, so there’s no way to know who actually came.”

Xu Xianchu was right, they were the most marginalized characters within the private forces, how could the upper echelons inform them of any information they knew.

Someone said, “Could it be that we were sent here this time because this team had some kind of accident here, and the higher-ups of the barriers learned about it and asked us to come check it out, if this team has a satellite phone with them, they should be able to pass on information to the barriers.”

This was the first time Ren Xiaosu had heard the term satellite phone, before that Mr. Zhang of the academy had not even mentioned it.

He had once wondered that the barriers should be in contact with each other, but he didn’t know what the way to contact each other was, and now it seemed that it should be the satellite phone, right?

Ren Xiaosu asked Yang Xiaoguan in a low voice, “What is a satellite phone? I heard Mr. Zhang say that there are phones in the barriers, but what is a satellite phone?”

Yang Xiaoguan glanced at him and said, “Humans took over a few pre-catastrophe satellites that can keep communication going between the barriers.”

Someone said indignantly, “If the higher-ups know that they’re missing, then they sent us here, it’s clear that they’re asking us to die, is this an attempt to use human lives to confirm whether the news is true or not, and if we die here as well, that means that there’s a real danger here. No wonder they didn’t even equip us with satellite phones this time, it looks like they want to minimize the losses? Could it be that our lives aren’t worth as much as a satellite phone?”

Xu Xianchu glanced at him, “Don’t get a little bit of information and then randomly guess something, your guesses aren’t really logical either.”

In fact, the soldier was already not very logical when he spoke under fear, so Xu Xianchu did not agree with his guess, while Ren Xiaosu looked carefully at the two lines of words, “What did he use to carve out the words on the cavern? It should be something like military spikes, the things that normal people carry around can’t carve out such deep traces.”

Xu Xian Chu nodded, “It should be the private forces over at Barrier 112,” he turned his head and said to everyone, “Get some rest tonight, and if you want to go out at night to solve your physical problems, you must travel in pairs of three or more.”

The reason for this arrangement was to prevent situations such as unexplained “disappearances” from occurring, and even if they were in danger, they wouldn’t be able to send out a cry for help even if they were three people.

Xu Xianchu continued, “And tonight, someone must take turns to keep watch, like this, I’ll keep the first shift, and the others will rotate later, not the girls.”

Ren Xiaosu recognized this arrangement, but this night watch was of little significance, as he not only had to guard against the dangers outside, but also the dangers within the team.

After all, he and Yang Xiaoguan had just seized a private troop’s sidearm, and it was very possible for the other side to sneak attack themselves in the middle of the night.

As a result, at this time, Yang Xiaoguan said to Ren Xiaosu, “You guard the first half of the night, I’ll guard the second half.”

“Good,” Ren Xiaosu nodded, their short-lived alliance had another basis of existence: the two of them had no need to victimize each other.

“I’m going out,” Yang Xiaoguan said.

Ren Xiaosu thought to herself, “You’re not afraid of accidents either, “I’ll accompany you?”

Yang Xiaoguan paused for a long time and said in a low voice, “No need.”

Ren Xiaosu was a bit puzzled, this girl’s guts are also too big, right, in the end there is what to rely on?

Next to Luo Xingyu stood up and said, “I’ll accompany you,” said she turned her head and glanced at Ren Xiaosu, “You really don’t know anything.”

Ren Xiaosu instantly felt his face burning, he only now reacted to what was going on!

The two girls braved the rain and went outside, at which point Xu Xianchu glanced over but didn’t say anything.

Someone on the private force side whispered a snide remark, “It would be a shame if these two girls went missing.”

However, in less than five minutes, Yang Xiaoguan and Luo Xingyu returned to the cavern as if nothing had happened.

What’s the situation? Did the so-called “strange black shadow” in the woods not target their team?

Seeing this, two soldiers from the private army also stood up, “Let’s go out for a bit of convenience, we can’t hold it in anymore.”

They were a few big men who let the two girls explore the road first before they dared to go out themselves. And because of the fear, these two people are almost suffocated to pee their pants are, really do not pee line.

In fact, they originally intended to pee in the cavern, but this is not Yang Xiaoguan and Luo Xinyu is also fine, so they can only get up the courage to go out.

Xu Xian Chu nodded his head and said, “Go and return quickly, don’t delay by smoking outside.”

“Don’t worry don’t worry,” the two soldiers draped themselves in their clothes and went out.

Ren Xiaosu ate chocolate while watching Yang Xiaoguan dry his body from the rain in the cavern, he curiously said, “You guys didn’t run into any accidents?”

“No,” Yang Xiaoguan replied briefly.

Someone in the cavern set up a campfire, and after everyone threw the pine cones into the campfire, they began to squeeze the pine needles and lick the sap inside to quench their thirst.

The pine cones made a thundering sound in the fire, and as the temperature of the bonfire was transferred to everyone, everyone felt as if they had come to life.

Just at this time Xu Xianchu suddenly looked outside the cavern, “How come the two of them …… haven t come back yet?!”
