Chapter 293: 63 Midnight Horror Camp Incident

Chapter 293 63. Midnight Horror Camp Accident

Time passed slowly, the sunset gradually disappeared below the horizon, and the lights around the Taoist temple ruins camp lit up one by one, and layers of searchlights dispelled the darkness in the rainforest.

The night enveloped the swamp.

The camp was brightly lit.

Every street between the tents, every dead corner under the makeshift house, all the vacant dormitories inside and outside, all places were under the white light, even the hair could be seen clearly.

It was like daylight.

But the light of artificial lights was still not as good as natural light. The missing part of the color spectrum eventually turned into unnatural tones, making the rainforest pale and darker.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The phone vibrated gently.

Song Wan reached out to turn off the alarm on her phone. It was now 1:55 in the middle of the night. She turned back to look at Zheng Yun who was sleeping soundly.

The light from the window shone into the room and hit Zheng Yun's cheek. He slept very steadily. As the alarm vibrated, his eyelashes trembled slightly, but he still didn't wake up completely.

I can still sleep for five minutes.

Song Wan turned her head to look out the window. The entire camp was shrouded in a very subtle and strange atmosphere after entering the night.

As the fog in the evening dissipated, the concentration of water mist in the rainforest reached the thinnest time of the day. The vision was very broad, and a pale blue moon could be seen in the night sky.

That moon was actually not a moon. It was not a satellite of this planet, but a very distant star.

The watchtower cast a ray of red light.

In the red light, there were a large number of guards, sitting in a line at the edge of the camp, staring closely at the rainforest outside the camp.

They were all wearing orange-red raincoats.

There were 20 to 30 people in one team.

Carrying a large number of detection equipment.

The archaeological team made very detailed arrangements, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a comprehensive alert. The monitoring rooms around the camp were as white as day, and a group of leaders were always on duty.

Song Wan stared at the time.

At the moment when the number jumped from 1:59 to 2:00, she turned back and reached out, gently pushing Zheng Yun's shoulder and shaking.

"Brother Zheng, it's two o'clock."

"It's the time you said."

Song Wan called softly. In addition to Zheng Yun, Hu Ruihua and Hu Zi also followed Zheng Yun to sleep after dinner, planning to wake up at the same time at two o'clock.

Only Song Wan didn't sleep.

She had to keep track of the time and call people.

Besides her, there were only two ghost generals awake in the whole tent. They sat on the lower bunk next to Zheng Yun, with narrow ghost knives hanging on the waist of their closed diving suits.

"Brother Zheng?"

Song Wan pushed Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun's eyelashes trembled more frequently, but there was no sign of waking up, and his breathing became much more rapid.

"..."

Song Wan's heart skipped a beat and found that something was wrong. She turned her head to look at Hu Zi and others on the lower bunk opposite. They also closed their eyes and were not woken up by her.

"Brother Zheng!" Song Wan raised her voice and moved her hands more vigorously, shaking Zheng Yun back and forth.

The two ghost generals also noticed the abnormality here, and stood up at the same time to protect Zheng Yun and Song Wan, drawing their swords and staring at the door and window, creating a safe space.

Nothing could break into the tent at this moment, hurting Zheng Yun who could not be woken up, and Song Wan who was calling people.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Zi suddenly shuddered all over, and was frightened by Song Wan's call and sat up, looking at Song Wan blankly and asking.

"I can't wake Zheng Yun up."

Song Wan's tone was a little anxious.

Logically speaking, Zheng Yun should sleep lightly and wake up immediately, but at two o'clock, Zheng Yun couldn't be woken up. This situation was obviously a big problem.

"Ah?"

Hu Zi was stunned for a moment, and quickly jumped off the bed and walked to Zheng Yun's bedside. He glanced at Xiao Hu and immediately walked towards him. He raised his hand and punched his thin body: "Xiao Hu!"

"..."

Song Wan didn't care about other people.

After realizing that something was wrong, she immediately took out Zheng Yun's mobile phone and looked through the messages in the phone, wanting to know whether this phenomenon was unique to them or a common situation.

But the group was silent.

It was 2:01 now, and there was no relevant information in the group. Only other camps had sent some briefings, but there was no news from their Taoist camp.

Something might have really happened!

Song Wan didn't care about anything else, and directly found Xu Yu's phone number from the address book, pressed the call button and looked out the window.

The camp remained silent.

The guards on duty under the watchtower were all awake. They were still patrolling the edge of the camp, warming themselves in front of the campfire, and staring closely at the depths of the rainforest, but no abnormalities were found.

Beep, beep.

The phone continued to emit a dead tone.

No one answered Xu Yu's call. Song Wan didn't know the specific situation, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

When the phone was about to hang up automatically.

A hand suddenly stretched out, gently grabbed Song Wan's arm, shook her body, and called her softly:

"Song Wan, wake up."

...

Zheng Yun's expression was serious. As soon as he closed his eyes, the clues in the ruins of the ancient city of Nanze automatically emerged in his mind.

There were auspicious murals, last year's mass casualties, the underground iron chain bridge, the spirit tower, the dark room of the collapsed lake...

All these things happened together, making him sleep very lightly. He lay in a half-awake state for a long time, thinking about memories in a daze. At about one o'clock, he was completely awakened by a sound.

He couldn't tell what the sound was.

It seemed like someone in the camp called out, or like the guards were changing shifts, or it might be the swamp creatures chirping in the middle of the night. It was vague and lasted for only two or three seconds.

This slight change.

Zheng Yun was completely awake.

He stood up and leaned against the head of the bed, looking around the room. The moonlight poured in from the window onto the long table, illuminating Song Wan who was sleeping soundly on the table, and the several lunch boxes Hu Ruihua brought back.

Song Wan sat beside his bed, with her head tilted to her arm, a few strands of hair stuck to the corner of her mouth, her face under the moonlight with a peaceful expression, as if she was sleeping in class.

She held her phone in her other hand, and the screen was always on because of the touch, showing that it was 1:40 in the middle of the night.

He looked up in other directions.

Hu Ruihua was also awake, wearing a coat and sitting in the dark where the moonlight could not reach. When he saw Zheng Yun wake up, he stood up and nodded to him and whispered, "It's almost two o'clock."

"Yeah." Zheng Yun also nodded.

Everyone else was asleep, Hu Zi's snoring was deafening, Xiao Hu and Lao Meng were covered with a quilt, and Gui Jiang was dozing against the head of the bed, and he opened his eyes immediately after hearing the noise.

"There has been no abnormality in the camp during this period. You should eat first. The food is cold." Hu Ruihua walked to the moonlight and sat opposite Zheng Yun with his clothes on.

"The archaeological team is very cautious."

Zheng Yun gently opened the lunch box and looked out the window. The camp was surrounded by searchlights. The night watchmen were guarding the edge of the camp. There was a slight background noise of human voices in the whole camp.

As long as people are awake, there will be movement.

There may be one-third of the people on duty in the camp. The sound of nearly a hundred people makes the camp seem very lively, with conversations, bonfires, vehicles entering and leaving, and handovers.

"Xu Yu sent someone over just now and gave you a walkie-talkie, so that we can report the number of people and the situation at all times."

Hu Ruihua took out the walkie-talkie and said softly.

"We really need to be careful tonight." Zheng Yun agreed softly and looked at Song Wan. She was sleeping soundly without being woken up by him, and her mouth was still shiny.

It is easy to drool when sleeping on your stomach.

Zheng Yun tore off some paper to wipe her, and took out his mobile phone from her arms, turned on the screen and looked through it.

There is no message in the group.

Ji Dao did not reply either.

Li Wu did not send me any more messages after the last conversation. He was probably on duty at the collapsed lake camp.

After a moment of thought.

Zheng Yun sent a message to Kadester, asking him where he and Jia Si Ai Lin and others were, and whether they would also spend the night in the more distant No. 3 Ancient City District.

Zhou Yuangang's team, which sent garbled codes at midnight, was in the No. 3 Ancient City District. The danger level there might be the same as that of the No. 2 Ancient City District or even higher.

Calculated by time.

Kadester and others have arrived at the No. 3 Ancient City District, but they did not send a report. Zheng Yun did not know what their situation was and whether they had entered the ancient building.

After sending the message, Zheng Yun put down his phone, chatted with Hu Ruihua in a low voice, and focused on the simple lunch box in his hand.

Soon the time was approaching two o'clock.

Zheng Yun quickly finished his meal, and when he got up to throw away the lunch box, Lao Meng also got down from the upper bunk, took out a cigarette box from his arms, and wanted to give Zheng Yun and Hu Ruihua one each.

"I don't smoke." Zheng Yun shook his head.

"Let's go outside." Hu Ruihua stood up.

Watching the two open the door and go outside the tent, just to smoke in the middle of the night to relieve their addiction, Zheng Yun shook his head helplessly and walked back to the bed. The two old smokers probably couldn't hold it anymore.

Let them smoke.

Maybe it's the same as in La Maine Town.

Smoking will eventually become a good thing.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Song Wan's phone vibrated.

Zheng Yun took a look and saw that it was 1:55, and there were still five minutes to 2 o'clock, so he slid the screen to cancel the alarm and picked up the quilt to cover her.

This is a tropical rainforest.

The temperature at night is also not low.

But when the sea breeze blows at night, it will still bring cold air to cover the entire Nanze Ancient City, making people susceptible to cold.

Walk to the window and look outside.

Zheng Yun suddenly remembered an article he had read before. The people of Nanze Ancient City would get up around 2:00 p.m., work at midnight, and go to bed at 3:00 or 4:00 a.m.

At that time, the author of the data also mentioned that the ancients' work and rest schedule might be to avoid fog and miasma. The water fog in Nanze Ancient City was thin at night, and the visible distance was much better than that in the daytime.

It is better to work at night than during the day.

But as the archaeological work progresses, more abnormal situations will appear, and several new speculations may be added.

The ancients may be hiding.

What exactly are they hiding from?

The whole city gets up at night, plus the auspicious paintings covering the whole city. What kind of gods and ghosts are there in this Nanze Ancient City? Will they form this habit...

Zheng Yun had previously reasoned that because the population of Nanze Ancient City is large, gods and ghosts should not be placed around it, and any gods and ghosts should be kept away from the city.

But the reality is.

The entire Nanze Ancient City is full of military households.

This is not an ordinary city at all, but a military city. The Ming Dynasty has deployed nearly one million soldiers on the coast of Nanze, and let the people in the city serve as soldiers for generations. The importance is self-evident.

Like this kind of situation.

Let alone the gods and ghosts in the city.

Even if there are immortal arts to suppress the city, it is reasonable.

If he were the leader of the Ming Sea Guard, and had already built a city on flat ground deep in the swamp and deployed hundreds of thousands of people to guard it, he would definitely call in the Hanxian and other immortal arts to suppress the city.

So there is also a situation that from the moment they stepped into the ruins of the ancient city of Nanze, they were surrounded by a kind of unknown level of gods and ghosts.

But now there is no clue.

Gods and ghosts usually have taboos and restraints.

For example, the Hanxian had taboos such as not making loud noises and not taking food from the cave. As long as you don't violate the taboos, you can avoid being attacked by the Hanxian to a large extent...

"Zheng Yun, do you want to wake them up?"

Hu Ruihua's voice sounded from behind. He and Lao Meng finished smoking a cigarette and blew away the smoke before coming back.

"Let's wake them up."

Zheng Yun rubbed his eyebrows and turned to look at the others. Nanze Ancient City has this habit, and they should also pay attention to it.

It's better not to sleep.

Wait until after four o'clock before going to bed.

"Hu Zi, Xiao Hu, get up." Hu Ruihua nodded and walked to the bed, calling Hu Zi and Xiao Hu at the same time.

Zheng Yun walked to Song Wan.

It was two o'clock now. Zheng Yun gently pushed Song Wan's shoulder and called her in her ear.

But Song Wan didn't move.

Only her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Zheng Yun lifted the hair in front of her forehead and continued to push with a little more force, but saw that Song Wan still closed her eyes tightly, but the amplitude of her eyelashes trembling increased, as if she had a nightmare.

"Zheng Yun, something is wrong."

Hu Ruihua whispered to Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun looked back. He and Lao Meng called Hu Zi and Xiao Hu respectively, but the two did not respond at all. Even if their heads were shaken, they did not wake up.

Something happened.

This phenomenon is not normal.

"Song Wan, wake up." Zheng Yun's heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed Song Wan's arm, helped her up from the table, and then shook her soft body and called her loudly.

Song Wan's eyelashes trembled.

But she still did not wake up.

Hu Zi and Xiao Hu were exactly the same.

They also showed no signs of waking up, and Hu Ruihua even slapped Hu Zi twice in the face to no avail.

"It's a hit, go to the next door to see." Zheng Yun frowned, slowly carried Song Wan to the bed, and then immediately picked up his mobile phone and subconsciously checked the notifications in the group.

There was no response in the group.

It was very likely that the incident had just happened, and they were the first group to discover the anomaly, so there was no news in the group.

"Zheng Yun, intercom."

Hu Ruihua pointed to the intercom on the table, then immediately opened the door and walked out of the tent to check the situation in the surrounding tents.

Zheng Yun picked up the intercom and didn't care whether it was Xu Yu alone or the entire channel, and said directly to the speaker:

"I am Zheng Yun from the first group of the Fuen Archaeological Team. Something happened here. Everyone should be alert and try to call the sleeping teammates around you to see if you can wake them up."

Zizizizi.

The radio waves spread in all directions.

Zheng Yun waited for a while, and the camp suddenly became lively. A lot of voices came from the intercom and outside the window, and the noisy sounds gradually broke the quiet midnight deep in the swamp.

"I'm Wang Hengzhou from the second group of the Fu'en Archaeological Team. The same situation has occurred here. Three teammates cannot be awakened."

"Ma Xiao from the first group of the Gubo Archaeological Team has discovered the same situation. Is there any problem with Commander Xu Yu?"

"I'm Commander Xu Yu's assistant. I've confirmed that Commander Xu Yu can no longer be awakened. I've reported the situation to Commander Zhao Qiufu of Gubo. Everyone stay calm and wait."

"Lv Xiangwu, tell your security team to stay calm, don't move around, and stay alert to the rainforest situation."

...

Zheng Yun put down the intercom, looked at the moon emitting blue light in the night sky outside the window, and then looked back at Song Wan, whose eyelashes were trembling on the bed, and felt a chill in his heart.

With the tight protection of the archaeological team.

They didn't escape this disaster.

Unknowingly, so many of them were hit at the same time, and they were completely unable to wake up in their dreams.

The ruins of the Taoist temple under their feet may hide a deep secret, and the source of this incident is among them...
