Hospital No. 444

David looked at the house in front of him, opened the window, and got in.

He was also very nervous during this process, fearing that his body would touch the fog next to him.

Fortunately, I finally entered the house without any danger.

The fog stays clearly on a certain line, both inside and outside the house, as if blocked by an invisible wall. People in the village firmly believe that this is because of the temple.

"Phew, it's okay, it's okay."

But the problem after entering the house is that there are no windows on the other side of the house. If you want to go out, you have to go down from the upstairs window. Fortunately, there is a tree opposite and you can go down along the tree.

The stairs were not covered in fog, which can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes.

"Be careful and keep up!"

"well……"

Suddenly, David discovered...

He actually became the last person in the team!

Because everyone else was anxious to pass through the room quickly, they quickly bypassed David and went up the stairs without regard to formation. They were all very fast, but David was just stunned and was overtaken by them.

He could only catch up quickly to avoid being left behind.

However, as soon as he walked up one step of the stairs, a change... happened!

He found that the white mist next to him suddenly covered him!

The stairs were right next to the wall, and David couldn't even hide!

As the white fog filled the air, he heard a strange sound coming from the fog.

That voice...

It sounded as if something was being torn apart, and as the white mist filled the air, the sound became clearer and clearer.

Only then did David remember to raise the bamboo pole and point it forward, and then... insert the porcelain doll on the top of the bamboo pole into the fog!

The tearing sound continued, and as the porcelain doll went deeper into the fog, it was like pouring boiling oil into water, and it immediately became louder!

In horror, David kept pressing his body against the wall and stretching the porcelain doll forward.

finally……

The sound began to subside, and the fog began to recede little by little.

David breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the bamboo pole.

Then, when he looked at the porcelain doll, he was stunned.

The whole right side of the wailing porcelain doll's head was gone!

It's less than half an hour, right?

David carefully examined the cross-section of the porcelain doll's head, and then discovered that it was covered in blood!

What kind of blood is this?

There is definitely no way that the porcelain doll has blood, so... what is this blood?

David continued upstairs and saw the upstairs window.

At this time, he went to the window and saw that the other eight people had already got out of the window.

Captain Lin Tai said: "David! Why did it take so long? I'm waiting for you!"

"Okay, I...I, I'll be right over!"

In front of David was a very thick branch of a tree. He raised his feet, put one foot on the branch, put his hand on the window sill, and held the bamboo pole under his arm.

After placing both feet on the branches, he grabbed the upper branch with one hand and hung on the tree like this.

Suddenly!

The familiar tearing sound sounded again, and then David saw that the fog started to pour towards him again!

Now, David is at his worst.

His body is hanging on the tree, and one hand must be grasped on the branch at the same time. If he wants to remove the bamboo pole under his arm, he must use the hand holding the branch! But in this case, it would be impossible for him to stand firmly on the branch with just his feet!

"no no!"

At this time, David fell into a high degree of panic, and as the white mist surged in, he couldn't even lift the bamboo pole!

At this moment, Captain Lin rushed over. He raised his bamboo pole and quickly inserted it into the white mist!

After the white mist reached a distance that was almost touching David's nose, it finally began to retreat slowly.

For the men on patrol, this step is very dangerous. If the dispersion of the fog cannot be stopped in time, the fog will collectively approach the interior of the village for a long distance, not to mention his own death. The only good thing is that when there is a patrol, the fog only spreads where the patrol passes.

David finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good……

He survived!

Then David jumped out of the tree.

"It was so dangerous just now!"

"David, are you okay?"

"How come you were the last one just now?"

"Yeah, my heart was in my throat just now."

David was also in shock at this time.

Almost... almost...

He was almost dead!

David looked at Captain Lin Tai and said gratefully: "Thank you! Captain Lin... thank you!"

Lin Tai sighed and said: "You are really unlucky. Why do you encounter all kinds of situations?"

Then, he looked at David's porcelain doll and said in surprise: "How did you..."

Then, he thought for a while and said to the others: "Well, everyone, please take care of David. After all, it is his first time to participate in the patrol today. Wait a moment, if the fog next to him changes, please help him." Bar."

"Why?" The team members immediately became dissatisfied. "Our porcelain doll will also be worn out. If it is used up, it would be more reasonable for us to help."

"This way, David, I'll make the decision." Captain Lin also knew that things should be done fairly, and said, "Everyone will help you, but you will share with others the food and materials the temple will give you tomorrow."

Compared with survival, food supplies can actually be discarded. David nodded and said, "That's it."

David originally thought that since his parents had participated in so many patrols, there would be no problem, right? But I didn’t expect that something almost happened! Nowadays, no one can take the rationed food back.

"Okay, let's keep walking."

"Yeah, can you still leave now?"

"Can...can."

At this time...inside David's home.

David's mother Zhang Guilan started making a small birthday cake for her son, hoping to give it to him when he came back. At the same time, she also prepared candles.

Daily necessities can be said to be very precious items in the village now. You can get a lot of things from the temple, but any items that require electricity supply are useless even if you bring them, so there is definitely no oven, and because there is no refrigerator, you cannot make them in advance. .

This cake is destined to be very rough, and there is no need to think about cream and the like.

"You can cook it later." Dai Jianguo said, "It's done now. It needs to be heated when David comes back."

"I'm afraid I can't do it well, so I'll try it first. It would be great if there was a refrigerator. I can try to do it earlier."

At this time, Dai Jianguo looked at the clock.

"Almost thirty minutes."

"Well." Dai Jianguo said, "It's almost time for the first count."

Ever since Uncle Lei's incident happened, Village Chief Ge has added a new village rule: Patrols must be counted at least every half hour. Once the captain discovers attrition, he must immediately report the number.

at this time……

The white mist that was still billowing now seemed to make David feel frightened.

Regardless, one must move on.

Before midnight, you must successfully circle the village. No matter what, there must be no accidents.

So, the team moved on.

David is still at the front of the team.

At this moment……

The snow started to get heavier than before.

The biting chill made David subconsciously cover his shoulders.

"It's time...count!"
