Hospital No. 444

The snow is slightly lighter than during the day.

David followed his father all the way.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening in Nanming Village, and there was hardly a pedestrian on the road.

"Dad, if the porcelain doll is completely used up...this is unlikely to happen, right?"

"Theoretically speaking, generally not. And since this is your first time on patrol, others will take care of you to some extent. The key is that you have to pay attention at all times. The fog may drift towards you at any time. You Never let the fog drift to you, even if you only touch the fog with a small finger, it will be over."

Hearing this, David couldn't help but shudder.

"Dad, you have patrolled many times. What do you think...is there in that white mist?"

Hearing this, Dad stopped.

"The villagers all said that there was some kind of monster in the white mist. However, for so long, no one seemed to have seen what kind of monster was inside."

"I don't know either."

David had a vague feeling that his father seemed to be hiding something from him.

"Third Uncle... Uncle Ge said something to me back then. He felt that in the white mist, maybe... it was..."

At just this moment, a snowflake fell on the tip of David's nose, making him feel as if his entire nose was frozen.

Therefore, he failed to say the word.

But even though he didn't say it, David's father knew what he wanted to say.

"Don't think nonsense," David's father patted his head and said, "Follow Captain Lin and the others. Remember, keep an eye on the white mist and never enter the white mist. No one can save you when the time comes. .”

David's home is actually not very far from the edge of the white mist to the east of the village.

The closer we get to the white mist, the more abandoned fields and houses we get. There are relatively few people who live here.

The villagers don't dare to live here, for fear that the white fog will suddenly disperse one day. Although Baiwu has been stable for ten years, no one dares to gamble with their lives.

"The land here is all deserted." Looking at the abandoned wastelands, David's father expressed regret. For him, who has lived with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky since he was a child, it is really sad for good land to be abandoned. pity.

At this time, David saw a house not far away with lights on.

Looking at that position, David glanced coldly and suddenly spat.

"Pooh!"

The only people who would live so close to the Baiwu area are those two people - He Yun and Su Wenxin!

"What are you doing?" David's father pulled his arm and said, "Don't do unnecessary things."

"He Yun, he is a murderer!"

"If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense."

"good……"

David answered very perfunctorily and did not take his father's words to heart at all.

Five years ago, Shen Lisheng, the son of David's father's friend, was permanently buried in the heavy fog while participating in a patrol.

Most people in the village have always believed that the murderer was He Yun who participated in the patrol with Shen Lisheng. This is especially true for Ge Niancheng, the village chief's son.

When they were young, Ge Niancheng, Shen Lisheng and Su Wenxin grew up together, and they were only one or two years apart in age. Su Wenxin has always been the village beauty of Nanmei Village. Because of her beauty, she has always wanted to go to the big city since she was a child.

Shen Lisheng is the most handsome boy in the village. When David was a child, he always thought that the two of them were golden boys and girls, talented and beautiful. But no one in the village expected that Su Wenxin would do such a thing later.

"I hope they die on patrol one day!" David said in a voice that his father couldn't hear.

"Lao Dai!"

At this time, David had already seen several members of the patrol in the distance.

Lin Tai took the initiative to come up and said to David and his son, "You are quite early."

At this time, it was not yet half past eight.

"It's better to come earlier." David's father pushed David in front of Lin Tai and said, "Captain Lin, I leave this bastard to you. Please...take good care of him."

"Okay, it's just a word! I will send your son back to you in good condition."

David also bowed deeply to Lin Tai: "Captain Lin, please give me more advice!"

"What advice can you give me? We are not Japanese!" Lin Tai's character was obviously very forthright. He patted David on the back and said, "Okay, get ready and come with me. I will practice the formation for you." .”

"Listen to Captain Lin, I'm leaving first, David!"

As his father gradually left, David couldn't help but think of Zhu Ziqing's "Back View".

Unconsciously, my father's hair became so pale.

Lin Tai patted David on the shoulder and said, "David, remember one thing. From now on, don't bend down and kneel to others easily. People must control their destiny in their own hands!"

David nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart. Others came to beg you. You are the village chief's brother-in-law. There is no need to ask others. Naturally, you can control your own destiny.

Later, Lin Tai took David to the other team members and said, "Okay, there are still two team members who are not here. When everyone arrives, we will practice the formation in advance."

"good!"

"good!"

"Before that, let me explain," Lin Tai pushed David in front of them and said, "This is David's first time participating in patrol, so I want to arrange him in the middle of the team, and everyone should try to take care of him as much as possible. Fan. Is that okay?”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and in the end, they all nodded.

Although Lin Tai was asking for everyone's opinions, he was the captain and the village chief's brother-in-law, so who would dare to offend him?

"Okay, David, you will be in the middle of our team when the time comes. Don't worry too much. If you notice any movement in the white mist, inform everyone immediately."

"Captain Lin," a female team member said, "I have a question. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the day is very dark. You also know that next to the white mist, whether it is a flashlight or a match, it will lose its effect. Then In the dark, we might not notice the white mist dispersing. Moreover, the ground is so slippery, if we accidentally slip into the white mist area..."

The words of the female team member indeed expressed the inner worries of most people.

"Can we sprinkle some salt to melt the snow?" One team member proposed an idea.

"Impossible. Where did so much salt come from? Food distribution has always been strictly rationed."

"That……"

Everyone was worried. It was a dark snowy day and we had to move within two meters of the white fog. No matter how careful we were when walking, if we slipped and fell, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Everyone can only walk as slowly as possible. Although the ice is slippery, it can still be avoided as long as you walk carefully." Lin Tai had long expected that everyone would ask this question: "And it's not that dark at night."

"this……"

"Okay, patrols are always accompanied by a bit of danger. Everyone just needs to pay more attention."

At this time, the other two team members came over.

All nine people took the bamboo poles like this.

"Okay, let's practice the formation first." Lin Tai pointed to the deserted field on one side and said, "Let's assume it's white fog and let's walk on it first. It just so happens that this piece of ground is also very frozen."

"good."

"OK."

So, nine people stood in a row, then walked around the wasteland next to them, grasped the bamboo poles in their hands, and started walking.

Because the ground was icy, everyone walked carefully.

"Okay, time is running out. Everyone, get ready and let's go!"

After all, time was limited, and the formation drill didn't take too long. Under the leadership of Lin Tai, they headed for the white mist area.

As he continued to approach the white fog area, David's heart became more and more progressive.

Moreover, he always felt that the closer he got to the white mist, the darker the surroundings seemed.

finally……

In front of a large deserted field, a large billowing white mist appeared.

David swallowed subconsciously.

This is...the fog that has imprisoned them all for ten years!
