She yawned lazily and saw Sergey, who was sitting by the campfire, looking at the earth, blinked and smiled, "Good evening, Sergey."

"Good evening." Sergey heard his voice, a little vague, not as refreshing as his usual voice, he tried hard to behave as usual, but the muscles on his face were uncontrollable and stiff , "How are you sleeping?"

"Not bad." Elena said, "It's time for you to sleep."

"Just ... isn't it uncomfortable?" Sergey whispered.

"Uncomfortable? No." Elena didn't think she had any problems. She sat up from her backpack. "I'm quite comfortable. You can sleep."

Sergey had to answer vaguely.

But he said he was going to sleep, how could he fall asleep, lying flat on the ground, squinting halfway, and Yu Guang watched Elena from the gap through the gap. She sat next to the fire for a while, then turned around, turned her back to Sergey, and after a while, she seemed to have pulled something out of her backpack. The next moment, Sergey heard the sound of waking himself up last night. At this time, he was very sure that it was indeed a creepy chew.

It seems to be chewing raw meat, even torn from time to time. Contacting the notebook belonging to Jelena that I saw just now, Sergey was suddenly horrified. He stared at Jelena like he was staring at a twisted monster, not daring to relax his vigilance for a moment.

Throughout the middle of the night, Elena was eating, and she stopped slowly until dawn. Sergey really wanted to sit up and question what she was, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, because he was really not sure, in case this thing was not Elena, and she and her teared the skin, would there be What more serious consequences.

And he doesn't judge whether Elena was infected before, or she changed a person from beginning to end.

In the desperate sound, Sergey finally ushered in the morning, he vowed that he had never expected the sun so much.

Jelena packed her backpack and returned to the usual lively look of the day, following Sergey and rushing forward. But this time, Sergey deliberately ignored her, but fortunately Jelena didn't even notice it, but she followed her steps forward with her head down, and didn't notice Sergey's attitude towards her. What's so strange.

The two walked for three days in this disintegrating atmosphere. When Sergey, who was unable to sleep, was about to reach the limit of his spirit, he found another thing that made him more collapsed ... He found that Elena ’s belly Become bigger.

But for a few nights, her fairly flat abdomen bulged like a balloon. She habitually touched her belly with a mother's loving smile on her face.

"Elena, are you okay?" Sergey can't remember how many times he asked this question. He repeatedly confirmed to Elena that it was better to get an answer from her than to ask her. He said he wanted to deceive himself.

However, Elena ’s answer was no different than before. She smiled, looked at Sergey, and said, “It ’s okay, I ’m fine, Sergey, you do n’t have to worry about me.”

Sergey said: "Your belly ... seems to be bigger ... a lot?"

Elena didn't matter at all, she smiled: "I'm not telling you that I am pregnant? The pregnant person's belly becomes bigger, it's normal." She touched her belly, the tone was so natural, it was like Sergey It was the one who asked the strange question.

How could it be normal, Sergey thought numbly, or that in this abnormal world, she is the normal person who is abnormal? Instead, it's myself, who has become strange? As soon as this thought came to his mind, he tried to restrain it with reason. He knew that this idea was very dangerous. Once he entered this logical trap, he might be the next Elena.

Judging from the map, he is not too far from the river, but he ca n’t be sure how long it will take him to take Elena forward at such a slow speed, and on the rest of the journey, Yi There will be other changes in Linna.

Failure to sleep peacefully for a few days made Sergey's mental state decline rapidly, but he still persisted in his efforts and even began to use pain to wake himself up. The only good news is that Elena doesn't seem to have anything else-except for her growing belly.

But after a few days of work, she was already pregnant in August. The slender limbs are matched with the exaggerated belly, forming a strange sense of incongruity. Sergey once saw the victims of famine. Most of them were bulging belly, and it is said that there was indigestible soil.

And Elena, from the appearance, looks more and more like those people.

Another silent night, Sergey fell into a short deep sleep because of long exhaustion, he suddenly woke up suddenly, looked blankly around him, and found Elena who was supposed to be sitting beside the campfire Disappeared.

"Elena, Elena?" Although she felt that she was beyond the normal category, Sergey still called her name. He noticed that although Elena was gone, her huge pink The backpack is still in place.

Sergey's gaze stopped on the backpack.

On weekdays, Jelena guarded the backpack very tightly, and would not let him touch it. At this time, she disappeared, which seemed to be the best time for him to reveal the secret. The backpack in front of me was like a Pandora's Box, tempting Sergey's already fragile nerves.

He licked his lips, eventually unable to bear the temptation, and slowly walked to the front of the backpack, gently unzipped the backpack.

With a creak, the zipper was pulled to the bottom, and the backpack opened a black lacquered gap, revealing the contents.

Sergey smelled a **** smell. He couldn't see clearly, so he pulled the backpack a little further, trying hard to see the objects inside.

Through the gleaming light of the campfire, his purpose was finally achieved. He saw the things in the backpack. When he saw the things clearly, Sergey stepped back uncontrollably and vomited directly. Tears can't restrain his physiological response at all. It was a corpse of a person. I do n’t know how long it died. The bones of the body have been exposed to the bones, but this is not the reason for Sergey to vomit. The face of this corpse is still intact-it is white. During the day, Irina accompanied him.

"Vomit-vomit-" Sergey softened his legs and knelt on the ground, almost spitting out everything in his stomach. He couldn't think for a while, why Elena appeared in her backpack His logic completely failed at this moment, and he felt his mental state was severely reduced, so that when he stumbled up from the ground, the scene in front of him was even distorted. Sergey didn't want to look at the backpack again. He turned around and stumbled into the dark jungle. He didn't know where he was going. He just wanted to leave this place and the scary pink soon. backpack.

Sergey rushed into the jungle behind him in such a trance, and by the time he responded, he was already some distance away from the campfire. He still wanted to vomit, but he couldn't spit out anything, and tears ran down his cheeks. He let out a sobbing sound, with fear in it, but more grief.

There is no doubt that Jelena is dead. Those who followed him these days are monsters who do not know anything. Why did the monster eat Elena ’s body, but did not deal with him? Sergey was lying on the tree, thinking with his last energy. He silently wiped away the tears that were constantly flowing, sobbing uncontrollably.

I do n’t know how long it took Sergey to retreat his soul from this feeling of despair. He wanted to turn around and go back to the campfire, but when he walked back, he heard that it was not far away. There came the sound of Elena crying and screaming. Sergey was stunned. He looked towards the place where the sound was. It was dark, and he could not see anything clearly.

Is Elena crying? Why should she cry? Isn't she already dead? Sergey was in a trance for a while. It stands to reason that his best choice now should be to quietly return to the campfire, pretending that nothing happened, but the guilt of Jelena's death made him move. Footsteps, slowly went in the direction of crying.

The crying was getting closer, and in the dim moonlight, Sergey finally found the source. He saw a woman with a big belly, fell to the ground, crying desperately holding her belly, as if the child in his belly was about to be born—

"Boy, my boy--" Elena yelled in this way, the tone of despair was desolate, and although Sergey couldn't see her face clearly, she also realized that she must be full of tears at this time.

"My child, we must be able to go out. We must be able to go out—" She screamed like a terrifying monster, forcibly trapped in a human skin sac, and kept wailing, "But I am so hungry, so hungry , I ’m so hungry—I want to eat, I want to eat— ”The call is gradually distorted and distorted, like a roar, and Sergey creeps to listen.

However, the most terrible thing had just begun. Sergey heard a sound of tearing the cloth in her crying, and he realized what the sound meant in the next moment.

Elena ’s bulging belly was torn open with two hands, first wrist, elbow, and finally torso—a head with long hair emerged from Elena ’s belly, she worked hard Struggling, as if to escape from the mother, it was difficult, and he propped himself up a little bit. It was a woman with the same appearance and the same expression as Irina. At the moment of her birth, the full-belly Jelena stopped crying as if she had died.

The woman smiled happily. She was born with the same clothes as Jelena. No, they are almost the same person. She looked at the dead body, exactly the same as her body, and gave a pleasant laugh. She said, "It's so good, there's something to eat, so good, there's something to eat--" She lowered her head, gently touched her belly, and murmured softly, "Dear child, we don't have to die, we will be fine, I will give you a good birth, we have a lot of food ..."

After watching all this, Sergey was almost like a statue, frozen in place, no matter how hard he tried, he could not move at all.

I don't know how long it took, Elena lying on the ground and eating her body, finally satisfied. She showed an excited look and began her next move. Sergey looked beside him, daring not to speak or move. He saw Elena bent down, dragged the broken body up, and began to move towards the campfire. The body should have been heavy, but she dragged it easily, with a contented smile on her face, and dragged her body to the bonfire little by little.

Elena naturally noticed that Sergey, who was supposed to be sleeping by the bonfire, was missing, but she did n’t care. She pulled out her pink backpack and took her body in an incredible gesture. The body was stuffed into the backpack. Her face was extremely clear under the light of fire, and there was a color of satisfaction on it, but at this time this smile formed a weird contrast with everything she did, terrifying.

Elena added some firewood to the bonfire again to make the bonfire burn more vigorously, the contented expression, never faded from her face for a moment, all the grotesque, here, finally all ended.

Sergey wiped his face heavily and forced himself to stay awake, but he was chilling involuntarily. When he started walking, he even found his body trembling involuntarily--

The night was calm again, and Elena was still the pretty young girl. She didn't yell anymore, and her belly did not bulge, just like before.

But Sergey could no longer deceive himself.

He came out of the bush, picked up the hunt / gun, and loaded it.

"Sergey?" Elena saw him, her smile unchanged.

Sergey whispered her name: "Elena."

"What's the matter?" Elena tilted her head, looking naive. "How do you look like this?"

"No, you are not Irina. What the **** are you?" Sergey raised his gun and shouted like a lunatic. "Say! What the **** are you? !!!!"

"I am Jelena." Jelena stood up and looked at Sergey in horror.

The expression of fear on her face was so vivid that no one would think that she was not human. If Sergey had just witnessed everything, he would not think so.

"You are not Jelena." Sergey Muran said, "Jelena, already dead."

The words fell, and with a piercing gunshot, Elena looked down at her chest with an unbelievable look. A huge hole was opened there, but no blood bleed out, and the black liquid sent out a sad Screaming, pouring out of her body, her body began to melt like a candle, but in a blink of an eye, it became a pool of black silt and merged into the ground at the foot of Sergey.

From being shot to disappearing, Elena's expression gradually returned to peace, her eyes filled with a sad taste, Sergey thought she would say anything, but until disappeared, she said nothing.

Sergey's hand was soft, and his hunt / gun fell to the ground. He knelt down on his knees, making a cry like a beast, as if to drain his life's tears.

When he stopped crying, it was already dawn, and the bonfire was extinguished, as if everything that happened last night was just a terrible dream.

Sergey stood up from the ground and unzipped the pink backpack again. Inside, he saw Jelena's body.

A calm body. Sergey wiped his eyes, using the hunting / gun in his hand as a tool, and dug a small grave for Elena in the soft mud next to him. Then, he buried Elena carefully. Marked on it again. He still has to move forward, and may soon die from some strange hunting reasons, but if he still has the opportunity to come back here, he will definitely take Elena back, even if she was already rotted to dry bones, but He will definitely take her away from this place.

Sergey had done everything and was on the road again, until the evening, when the sound of water came from his ears, which relieved his spirit of impending collapse. He ran up, almost for the rest of his life. The fastest speed rushed to the river.

When the clear running water appeared in front of his eyes, Sergey choked up. He couldn't take it up. He picked up the clear running water by hand and washed his numb face severely.

He took a sigh of relief and sat almost on the bank of the river, almost staring at the flowing water on his side, his heart finally regained the peace he hadn't had for a long time.

That night, Sergey decided to spend the night by the river.

He determined where to camp, and planned to go to find some firewood nearby, but he didn't go far. He saw a bright fire near the river bank, and there seemed to be traces of human activity. If it had been before, Sergey would have excitedly rushed over immediately, but after experiencing Elena, he did not dare to step forward directly, but watched carefully beside him.

The bright fire was a bonfire that had just risen. Two people were walking beside the bonfire. Sergey looked from a distance and found that there were two Asian faces, one of them was in their ranks, and the other he didn't know. The two surrounded the fire and seemed to be eating something. From the rich aroma, they seemed to be meat. When he thought of meat, Sergey felt a little sick in his stomach.

Lin Banxia was indeed eating meat, but he was eating serious meat, but he just caught it from the river. He and Li Su have been waiting by the river for three days. There are still no other players coming. They are idle and do nothing. They just grab some fish from the river and beat their teeth. The fish was caught by Lin Banxia. He was born in a water town and has good water. He has been catching fish in the river since childhood, but the only thing to worry about is whether the fish can be eaten here.

"It should be edible." Li Su analyzed this way. "We don't have much dry food. We definitely need to find another source of food. Otherwise, I would starve to death here. Rather than tragic starvation, I'd rather go crazy."

Lin Banxia agrees with him. Maybe it was because he was always not full when he was young, and he didn't like to feel hungry. So together, Lin Banxia got into the water and quickly caught a few fat fish.

Li Su volunteered, took out a lot of seasonings from his backpack, cooked the fish for a while, and wore it on a wooden stick and roasted it with frying oil.

Lin Banxia roasted his clothes in the fire by the side, wondering: "Why do you still carry spices with you?" Although he kept joking that he was traveling, he didn't really relax to this point.

"It's all experience." Li Su sighed. After dark, he took off his mask and sunglasses. The fire shone on his too white skin, making him look like a sparkle. He was gentle. Smiled, "This place is too big, and it is wild in the wilderness. Who knows that dry food can last for a few days? If you can't stand it, you have to eat something else. Even if you dig the roots of the plants to eat, you can import some salt. "

Lin Banxia think about it too.

"This big one for you." Li Su said, "I have a small appetite, just eat this one."

Lin Banxia was trying to make a few words, staring at the pattern on the fish, but suddenly felt a serious discomfort. He covered his mouth and hurried to the forest, vomiting exaggeratedly.

"Hey? Lin Banxia? Are you okay?" Li Su was startled by his reaction. "What's wrong with this? What's wrong?"

Lin Banxia vomited for a while before turning back: "When I saw the fish, I was a little sickened and vomited ..."

Li Su: "Ah? I'm sick?" He glanced at the grilled fish in his hand. At this time, the fire was just right. The oil was brown and brown, sprinkled with salt and spices, and exuded a rich aroma. Compared with other foods, it is much better, I really did not want to understand where it is disgusting.

Lin Banxia leaned on the tree and said hardly: "No ... I remembered that when I went to the village last month, I saw a crocodile gar in the water ..." He just finished speaking, and he vomited again. "And Carrion under the crocodile gar— "

Li Su was silent for a while, and the expression on his face was very complicated. Finally, he stepped forward and gave Lin Banxia a bottle of water to signal him to rinse his mouth and said, "You are really doing this."

Lin Banxia spit tears and sniffed his nose, said: "Fish for you, I do not want to see the meat these days."

Li Su: "Okay, okay, but you don't eat it yourself, can you tell Song Qingluo that I will bully you."

Lin Banxia said this is of course.

So, in the end, it turned into a situation where Li Sumei was nibbling at the grilled fish, and Lin Banxia was eating a biscuit by the side.

The two were having dinner happily, Li Su suddenly paused and turned his head to look at the jungle behind him.

"What's wrong?" Lin Banxia saw him with a wrong expression, and immediately alerted him.

"It seems there is someone in the forest." Li Su said.

Lin Banxia stupefied and was about to stand up, but was held by Li Su. Li Su whispered: "Don't move, see what he is going to do." He said, taking his hand from his pocket / Gun, silently loaded.

The atmosphere stayed there for a few minutes, and the forest heard a rustling sound of walking. Lin Banxia turned around and saw a familiar face. It was one of the Russians named Sergei who was scattered in the team.

"Know?" Li Su glanced at Lin Banxia.

"Know." Lin Banxia honestly said, "but not sure if it is a real person."

"Aren't you familiar with him?" Li Su asked.

"Unfamiliar." Lin Banxia said, "I didn't say a few words."

"Look at him like this, it should be a real person." Li Su pondered for a moment, seemed to be thinking about something, and finally stood up and shouted a few words in Russian.

Lin Banxia was originally worried about their language barrier, but did not expect Li Su to actually speak Russian.

Sergey was determined to go forward. He knew that he could not get out of here by himself. The best case was to find a watchdog so that his life could be kept safe. So after repeated measurements, he still went towards the campfire, but he squeezed the hunt / gun in his hand and made up his mind. If something went wrong, he shot immediately.

Unexpectedly, the man next to Lin actually knew Russian and stood up and yelled at him, asking if he was a straggler.

Sergey said: "Yes, I am scattered." He looked at Lin Banxia and found Lin Banxia's face blank, apparently ignorant of Russian, and a little anxious in his heart.

"You just call me Li." Li Su said, "Don't come over first-I need to confirm your identity."

Sergey paused.

"Where did you come from? Did you encounter anything on the road?" Li Su said, "Do you know what his name is?"

Sergey answered one by one, but omitted the terrible things he encountered with Elena, maybe he knew that he would go crazy if he continued to think about it, so reason deliberately blurred those pictures. I met a person who was exactly the same as my former teammate, and after that person was killed, it turned into a pile of silt.

Li Susi said: "We are going to cross this river to go across, do you want to join us?"

Sergey smiled bitterly: "I can't go back alone ... I can't pass the swamp alone."

Li Su said, "Also." He took a big bite of fish and chewed slowly. "You can do it with us, but you must hand over your gun."

Sergey looked a little hesitant. This was normal. The hunting / gun in his hand was his only life-saving equipment, so he gave it to two unfamiliar people ... It was really risky.

Li Su didn't worry, just waited so slowly.

Finally, Sergey had a decision. He took a deep breath and threw the hunt / gun towards Li Su. Li Su gave Lin Banxia a glance, Lin Banxia stepped forward and hunted / The gun was in his hand.

"Okay, you passed, come and have something to eat." Li Su said, "By the way, I want to see your notes."

Sergey smiled bitterly and said yes.

While Li Shu handed Sergey a fish, he took over the black notebook in his hand. Sergey nibbled at the food in his hand, and felt the warm fish fill his mouth, so delicious food , He should have been happy, but in fact, he even found it difficult to pull the corner of his mouth.

Sergey's notes are also in Russian. Li Su read it quickly. After reading it, he patted Sergey's shoulder and said, "I'm suffering."

Sergey did not speak, but continued to eat in silence.

Li Su translated the story described by Sergey in Chinese to Lin Banxia, ​​saying that this person should have a high probability of being true. At present, he has not found any special flaws in his body. Then I repeated the story of Elena briefly. Although Sergey did not want to say more, he still dutifully wrote down all the encounters in detail in his notebook.

After hearing this, Lin Banxia sympathized with the poor Russian.

After Sergey finished eating the fish, Li Su told him that tomorrow's itinerary was about crossing the river first, and then walking towards the middle of the plain.

Sergey didn't ask why, but nodded and said yes.

The team finally became a team of three, and Li Su let Sergey rest for a night. He and Lin Banxia were responsible for the vigil. After Sergey finished eating the fish, he seemed to have completely let go of them. He just found a flat place and fell asleep. The tired look seemed to have not rested for a long time. Lin Banxia was responsible for the second half of the night, and when he got up, it was the most beautiful time of the night sky.

He has seen such nights many times, but he still feels tempted by its beauty. This is the beauty that can not be seen in the city full of light pollution. He listened to the crackling of the campfire and felt a surprise. Unprecedented tranquility.

They spent a peaceful night and ushered in the morning sun.
