Chapter 3 Journey

"Okay, now everyone should be here," the sturdy man naturally became the leader of the team, "The next mission is about to begin, everyone be prepared."

As if responding to the sturdy man's words, light gradually appeared in the distance.

As the light got closer and closer, two beams of light pierced the darkness, and a brand-new luxury bus slowly stopped at the platform.

"Talk less, observe more, make sure it's safe before doing anything, and try not to act alone," the sturdy man took the time to lower his voice and give a few more instructions before the bus door opened.

The woman with a mole on her lip seemed to be uncomfortable with the sturdy man's attitude, and said, "Risks and benefits coexist. If you want to get something, you must pay first."

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened.

A young man jumped down from above.

He had a short haircut, a blue sweatshirt on the upper body, and a pair of washed white jeans on the lower body. He looked handsome and was probably in his early 20s.

He moved his mouth, as if he was chewing gum.

"Sorry for the long wait, passengers. We were delayed due to the weather. Sorry," the young man gave everyone a surprise as soon as he opened his mouth. It turned out to be a woman.

The woman introduced herself: "It is an honor to be your tour guide for this trip. My last name is Zheng. You can call me Xiao Zheng or Zheng Dao."

"Zheng Dao," someone responded.

Everyone tacitly did not call Xiao Zheng.

"Okay, everyone, get on the bus quickly," Zheng Dao greeted politely, "The weather is bad and the road is not easy to walk. Let's hurry up."

Everyone got on the bus in order from left to right, first the strong man, then the woman with a mole on her lip, the male clerk, the bald middle-aged man, Jiang Cheng, the flexible fat man, and the pure girl got on the bus last.

After getting on the bus, I found that there were already other passengers on the bus.

A couple sat in the back seat on the left side. The girl was reading a magazine, and her boyfriend was wearing an eye mask and headphones, leaning against the glass window to rest.

There was also a middle-aged woman with a big boy sitting in the first row of seats behind the driver.

It should be a mother and son, but the boy may be sick, his mood is not high, and his eyes are erratic. Jiang Cheng found that his fingers were wrapped in bandages when he passed by.

After Director Zheng got on the bus, he asked everyone to find a seat and then closed the door. She sat on the right side of the driver.

The strong man sat behind the mother and son, and the woman with a mole on her lip sat behind Director Zheng.

Jiang Cheng chose the second row of seats behind the couple. As soon as he sat down, a huge body came over, "Brother, let's sit together!"

Jiang Cheng raised his head and it was indeed the flexible fat man. He said, "Okay, but I'm not used to sitting inside."

"It's okay, I can squeeze in."

Half a minute later, the fat man squeezed in as he wished, but the remaining part still took up some of Jiang Cheng's position, forcing him to move out.

The male clerk tried to share a seat with others several times, but was cold-shouldered. In the end, the innocent girl let him sit next to her.

The middle-aged man was sitting alone in the last row. Jiang Cheng looked back at him and found that his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

"Brother, can you tell me what happened?" The fat man came over and asked in a low voice, "I fell asleep and got here."

Jiang Cheng exaggerated the news he got from the strong man and told the fat man again, and the latter almost cried, "If you die here, will your whole family bleed to death?"

"That's right."

"Then I see why you are not too scared?"

Jiang Cheng turned his head and said in a very formal tone: "Because I am an orphan."

The journey was very peaceful, so peaceful that the male clerk thought it might continue to be peaceful, but with the sudden sound of brakes, all dreams were crushed.

"Bang!"

The huge inertia carried broken glass shards and swept the entire carriage like a storm.

The car hit something.

The male clerk shrank in his seat and kept screaming until the strong man dragged him out of the carriage and slapped him twice.

"If you don't want to die, shut up!" he threatened viciously.

The male clerk huddled on the ground with a dusty face, and got up after a long while, hiding at the end of the team.

Indeed.

The car hit a tree.

The driver got off to check and found that the heavy rain caused one side of the road to collapse, changing the normal trajectory of the vehicle, and it lost balance and hit the tree on the roadside.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, most of them were scratched by broken glass.

But the car couldn't drive away, here

Jiangcheng looked around, it can be said that there was no village in front and no shop behind, only a straight road leading to an unknown direction.

The rain, although a little lighter, was still falling.

"I'm so sorry, passenger," Director Zheng came over rubbing his hands, with a little blood on his arm, "It seems that today's journey is ruined."

It was only a few hours after the first meeting, and she had apologized twice, but everyone knew that she was not sincere each time.

According to the strong man, she was just an NPC to advance the plot.

"How about this? I know there's a villa in the woods over there. You can go there to take shelter from the rain first. When we find a car, we'll come back to pick you up," Director Zheng said, pointing to the woods not far away.

Even a newcomer like Jiang Cheng thought this was not a good choice, but the strong man and others agreed and turned to walk towards the woods.

The real mission is here!

The originally relaxed atmosphere also changed.

"Wait!" Director Zheng stopped them, then ran back to the car to get a few umbrellas, "Don't get wet."

“Thank you.”

Walking on the muddy road, if you are not careful, you may fall. After walking for about half an hour, a three-story villa finally appeared in front of them.

The villa was covered by layers of dense forests, and it was extremely difficult to find it unless you walked very close.

“Can people live here?” the innocent girl whispered.

The villa was obviously dilapidated. It was conservatively estimated that no one had taken care of it for 5 years, and there were layers of fallen leaves in front of the door.

“If you don’t want to live here, you can stay outside,” the strong man did not look back, and then walked towards the villa with an umbrella.

Jiang Cheng looked at the strong man’s back. The strong man seemed to be in a bad mood. In fact, everyone could hear that the innocent girl was just complaining.

But Jiang Cheng smelled the smell of fear from the complaints and dissatisfaction of the two.

After everyone followed, the fat man who was holding an umbrella with Jiang Cheng urged: “What are you looking at, brother, come over quickly.”

“Yeah.”

No one answered the knock on the door. The strong man tried to push it, but he didn’t expect that the thick wooden door was pushed open.

The door was not locked.

When the door was fully opened, the scene inside came into view.

The spacious living room was only slightly old, but not shabby. There was a thin layer of dust on the floor and on the rectangular dining table.
