Chapter 200 Flash Flood

Infected by the blond man's emotions, the expressions of Jiang Cheng and the other two also became cautious, and even Chen Ran, who was acting casual, unconsciously restrained himself a lot.

"What happened a few days later?" Jiang Cheng asked calmly.

The blond man pursed his lips and then took a big sip of wine. The serving woman didn't know whether she was distracted or frightened by the blond man's face, and she didn't come forward to fill the glass.

"A few days later, the person in charge of guarding the edge of the forest suddenly broke into my house and told me with surprise that those who had disappeared before were back."

"Back?" The fat man widened his eyes.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the fat man, and the latter immediately fell silent.

"Yes, they are back," the blond man paused and continued, "In any case, this is a great thing for the town. The old people have children again, the women have husbands again, and the children have fathers again."

"That night, we welcomed the returning warriors in the town. The town hadn't been so lively for a long time. Everyone took out the best wine they had collected, and the men agreed not to return until they were drunk."

"While drinking, they told what happened after entering the forest."

From here on, the blond man's memory began to become unclear. Perhaps it was his own problem, or it might be that the memories of the men who came out of the forest were biased.

In short, according to the blond man who was the mayor, the hunters encountered a rare rainstorm not long after entering the forest, which triggered a flash flood.

At that time, they were in a low-lying area with little space to hide. The flash flood was fierce, and those who could not dodge were swept away in an instant. After the flash flood, when they counted the number of people, they found that one person was missing.

That man was a very young hunter, but he was experienced and was considered one of the leaders of the team.

The townspeople had a deep bond with each other and were brothers who had grown up together. Naturally, they could not abandon him, so even though they knew he was in danger, they still followed the direction of the mountain torrent to look for him.

No, to be more precise, they were looking for bodies.

There was almost no chance of survival for people washed away by mountain torrents, especially in the deep mountains.

All they had to do was bring the bodies back for burial.

If possible.

At this moment, they had given up looking for the missing people, because according to the weather, they were likely to have encountered a disaster similar to the mountain torrent, and the chance of survival was very slim.

But what they didn't expect was that following the direction of the mountain torrent, they actually came to a place they had never been to.

This place was already deep in the forest, and here they found a giant stone plate.

The stone plate was pure white, with a strange light floating on it.

Obviously, the stone plate should have been covered by mud before, and now it was washed out because of the mountain torrent.

They were surprised to find that there were fruit trees growing near the stone plate, and the fruits on them were extremely sweet. A stream meandered along the stone plate. The stream water was clear, and you could even see the schools of fish below.

The men talked about how mysterious the stone plate was, and the people in the town were stunned.

So much so that they forgot that their original intention was to find someone.

It was no wonder that they were interested in it. The sea was no longer like a mother to them. It was getting more and more difficult to get food from the sea. The mysterious stone plate that was discovered by chance just made up for the lack of supplies.

Especially since it was an excellent water source, it seemed that migration was also a good choice.

There was almost no need to discuss it. Everyone unanimously decided that the hunters would lead the way tomorrow and everyone would go to the forest together.

That night, the blond man who was the mayor was so happy that he drank too much wine, so he was carried back halfway through the banquet.

He was sleeping on the bed, and was woken up by someone who slapped him hard. The person seemed to be in a hurry and kept whispering his name.

But when the blond man opened his eyes and looked at the person who came, his mind, which was originally not sober because of drunkenness, suddenly became clear, and not only was it clear, but even his hair stood up.

The man squatting in front of him was disheveled and muddy, with only two bloodshot eyes staring straight at him. But even so, the blond man recognized him at a glance!

It was the young man who was washed away by the flash flood!

But wasn't he dead?

Could it be? !

Just when the blond man was trembling with fear and couldn't speak, the young man who was washed away by the flash flood spoke.

"Mayor," he said in a crying voice: "We encountered a flash flood. Except for me, the rest of the team died!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, the fat man must have felt the same as the former mayor, with his heart in his throat. If what the men who came back outside said was true, then the young man in front of him was a ghost!

But what if what the young man said was true?

Then what kind of ghosts would the men at the banquet outside be?

But then, the fat man thought about it and immediately determined that the young man who sneaked into the blond man's room should be telling the truth, and he was a human being.

Otherwise, the fat man looked at the blond man with a livid face, and he might not have the chance to tell himself this story today.

A faint chill rose from his heart. Those things outside were really weird, but what was more terrifying was the white stone plate mentioned by the blond man.

In Su Xiaoxiao's narration, a strange white stone plate also appeared.

At the same time, there were piles of white bones on the stone plate.

And those bones could come alive and kill people who approached.

I’m afraid that the things that Miss Su and her brother encountered were the men who “returned” from the forest in the story of the blond man.

What are they?

Ghosts?

After thinking about it, the fat man always felt that they were not like ghosts in his mind. They were more like strange beings driven by some instinct.

It seemed that something deeper was controlling them, but the fat man had no idea for a while.

As for what happened after that night, the blond man did not mention it, but he could feel from his eyes that a huge change had happened in the town after that night.

Because his next sentence was, "I took the remaining men in the town"

The remaining

"Finally we found the stone plate," the light of the torch made the blond man's face flickering, and he opened his mouth again, his voice hoarse as if he had swallowed sand, "near the stone plate is a barren dead land, no grass grows, the dark red soil seems to be soaked in blood, on the stone plate"

He paused, suddenly raised his head, his eyes red as if bleeding, "layers of townspeople's bodies are piled up! Men, women, old and young, all the missing people are here!"
