Chapter 78: Cannot go backward
If one could not retreat, then one could only advance.
Ren Xiaosu, Xu Xianchu, and Yang Xiaoguan all looked like they were most interested in the secrets of the Realm Mountain itself, unlike Luo Xinyu, Liu Bu, and Wang Lei, who only wished to hurry up and rendezvous with the people from the Qing Clan!
What secrets aside, where there were people, there was hope!
The Qing’s Consortium combat brigade in Barrier 113, which they had all seen before, was definitely not comparable to these three-legged cats of the private forces, so Liu Bu and the others thought that as long as they found the Qing’s Consortium, they would be safe.
And no matter whether it was Luo Xinyu or Liu Bu, they both had some relationship with Qing’s consortium, not to say that they were particularly familiar with it but they still had a few encounters with Boss Luo of Barrier 113.
So when the time comes to report the name of Boss Luo, and then report their own identity, will not immediately return to the world of “human civilization”.
This wilderness is the world of beasts in their opinion.
Moreover, they almost encountered a mysterious monster in the woods last night, so they wanted to leave here in the daytime.
Being in a state of concern about that monster, Ren Xiaosu tried his best to choose the bare ridges and depressions when choosing a path, rather than the woods.
Who knows if that thing is active during the day or not? People didn’t tell you that they don’t go out during the day! What if they used to stay up all night and weren’t afraid of the daytime? What if her routine is reversed today?
Who knows?
The cavern they were in was still a few dozen kilometers away from the place where the blasting sound came from in the realm of the mountains, so they could arrive at the end of the day if they hurried.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu was also afraid of accidents, he discussed with Xu Xianchu and Yang Xiaoguan: “The road in the mountains can not just consider the straight line distance, the mountain road is winding, it is very likely that we judge the dozens of kilometers we need to walk up for several days may not be possible.”
“What do you mean?” Xu Xianchu said curiously.
“If we can’t arrive today we should definitely not take the risk of traveling overnight,” Ren Xiaosu said firmly, “Even if you guys want to travel overnight, I’ll still find a place to wait until dawn alone.”
Xu Xianchu thought for a moment and said, “I agree, don’t drive all night.”
Xu Xianchu and Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiaoguan, who said, “I agree.”
“I hope the road isn’t that difficult,” Ren Xiaosu said.
As they advanced today Luo Xinyu and Liu Bu didn’t know where they got all their strength from, they had just picked the blisters on their feet last night, and I’m afraid that the soles of their feet would be rotten if they walked with this intensity today.
Ren Xiaosu saw the situation and teased them that they rested for a day, but Liu Bu said righteously that he was fine.
It can be seen that because of the desire to survive, Liu Bu and his three ordinary people have already exploded their greatest potential.
Suddenly Xu Xian Chu said, “There is a human corpse in front.”
Ren Xiaosu looked up and saw a human corpse lying quietly at the bottom of the valley in the mountain pass, but what surprised him was that there were broken clothes scattered next to the human skeleton, and the blood had dried to a deep purple color on the rocky ground.
Ren Xiaosu wondered, “There’s blood and flesh, no decay, this is a corpse that hasn’t been dead for long!”
Wait, how could a recently dead human corpse suddenly appear here, “Could it be someone from the Qing Consortium?”
“No,” Xu Xianchu shook his head, “Look at his clothes, this is the combat uniform of a private force, the combat uniform of a private force is dark blue, while the Qing Clan Consortium’s is black.”
“Private force? Which private force, do the private forces of Barrier 112 dress like this?” Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.
They cautiously approached the past, and a sense of foreboding flooded their hearts, when Xu Xianchu saw a small nameplate, that was originally supposed to be a marking hung around the neck of the corpse, so that after being killed in battle everyone would know who the corpse was.
But he picked up the nameplate and froze: “Xu Xia? How could this be Xu Xia?”
Ren Xiaosu’s heart went cold, “Is it confirmed to be Xu Xia?”
“Look, this nameplate can’t be wrong,” Xu Xianchu said, his submachine rifle kept raised as he spoke, fearing that something terrifying would rush out from the side.
Ren Xiaosu looked towards the nameplate, “It’s really Xu Xia, why is his body here.”
To know that Xu Xia’s body was lost before they entered the canyon, in the past two days they had walked at least nearly a hundred kilometers, how could Xu Xia’s body run here by itself.
What brought Xu Xia’s body here!
When Yang Xiaoguan and Xu Xianchu both began to raise their guns to alert, Ren Xiaosu squatted down and surveyed the body, Luo Xinyu and Liu Bu have long been vomiting, vomiting half a day Luo Xinyu asked: “Are you not afraid?”
Ren Xiaosu expression did not change at all: “More ugly than this I have seen …… not right, the wounds on this body have problems, the monster ate his internal organs, but you look at the traces of the wound on the edge of the abdomen, what beast can bite out such a neat crack? I have never seen a beast with such teeth.”
Hearing Ren Xiaosu say this, even Yang Xiaoguan and Xu Xianchu couldn’t help but look over, they knew very well how well Ren Xiaosu knew the wilderness, if Ren Xiaosu said he hadn’t seen it before, then it really wasn’t an unusual beast.
Just this look didn’t matter, Xu Xianchu immediately frowned: “Grass, these are fucking human teeth marks!”
It seemed that it was because of some kind of deep-seated fear that caused Xu Xian Chu to even curse out profanities, not only Xu Xian Chu, even Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan they all felt ice-cold all over their bodies, Ren Xiaosu looked up and asked, “Are you sure?”
“Very sure,” Xu Xianchu said, “I went to school when I fell in love and broke up by the first love in the arm bite.”
Ren Xiaosu did not have the good sense to say: “I am damn fast scared to death you root us to say this?”
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu is really scared right now!
At this time, Xu Xianchu also felt a bit scared, “Why would there be human teeth marks on a corpse.”
“You guys say,” Ren Xiaosu asked, “Is it possible that the …… who dragged the chains last night was a human being?”
“Hurry up and get out of here,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “Tactical formation of three in case something sneaks up on us! If that thing can silently take away a corpse, it can silently get close to us!”
Ren Xiaosu tensed, “…… What’s a tactical formation?”
He didn’t mean to gag, he really didn’t know!
“You walk on my left side!” Yang Xiaoguan didn’t explain too much, “Everyone manages their own sector vision, any strange creatures approaching directly shoot.”
Suddenly Yang Xiaoguan seemed to take over the command quite rightfully, while Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu didn’t say anything to anyone.
At this moment everyone understood that they were walking on a tightrope, a little inattention and they could be doomed.
Everyone wanted to live, Ren Xiaosu especially.
