289: Green Hell: White Spring Mountain
Inside the car.
The scenery on both sides constantly receded. Hu Dabing glanced at the ambulance in the rearview mirror and asked Teacher Xu beside him with a hint of curiosity: "What happened? All three ambulances were dispatched."
Xu Feng shook his head: "Unlucky things happen one after another. I don't know when they will fall on me."
"Alas, this world has indeed become chaotic, but life still has to go on day by day," Hu Dabing said, stopping at a red light: "Speaking of which, what did you need today? Could it be that you've had a change of heart and want me to take you to a bathhouse to release some stress?"
"I couldn't get a ride, so I asked you to be my driver for a bit," Xu Feng said directly, unaffected.
"Hah, you really aren't polite," Hu Dabing cursed with a smile: "Where to?"
Xu Feng in the passenger seat opened his telephone map: "Baiquan Mountain."
"Baiquan Mountain?" Hearing this place, Hu Dabing, who was driving, immediately frowned.
"What are you going there for?"
There was no need for Xu Feng to hide anything, so he explained about the Students going camping and then losing contact.
Hearing this, Hu Dabing kept shaking his head: "Old Xu, you..."
"You probably don't know what the situation is like at Baiquan Mountain right now, do you?"
"What situation?" Xu Feng really didn't know much about it.
After all, before this, in his opinion, it was just an ordinary camping trip.
"I passed by that place a couple of days ago. The grass there, the shrubs and other plants, each and every one of them is taller than me, a one-meter-eight big man!"
Saying this, Hu Dabing lit a cigarette for himself: "I heard that seven or eight people have already disappeared inside Baiquan Mountain. The Police searched before, but basically returned empty-handed."
"This news was told to me by a friend in the bureau. Originally, the Z City bureau planned to seal off that place in the next couple of days. If you had told me earlier, I definitely would have persuaded you not to go!"
"That serious?" Xu Feng's expression also became solemn.
"Old Xu, you still shouldn't go," The car paused, and Hu Dabing's tone became a little more serious: "If those Students really had an accident, your going wouldn't help."
"If they didn't have an accident, they wouldn't need you either."
"What are you saying? There are more than thirty Students, how could something really happen to them? I'm just going for peace of mind," Xu Feng smiled.
"Old Xu, I'm serious," Hu Dabing flicked the cigarette ash out the window: "There are some things you don't know yet, and you don't understand the seriousness of the problem."
Xu Feng looked at Hu Dabing beside him in silence: "Saying so much, you're not unwilling to spend the fifty kilometers of car fuel, are you?"
"Hahaha, you kid..." Hu Dabing laughed and shook his head.
He also understood Xu Feng's determination to go there.
Since he couldn't persuade him, then let's go.
The vehicle resumed driving on the road.
Baiquan Mountain, located outside the southern urban area of Z City, is a small to medium-sized tourist attraction.
Sitting in the car, Xu Feng could clearly see the noticeable changes on the road along the way.
Nothing was discovered in the City center.
The closer they got to the suburbs, the more excessively lush the green belts on both sides became.
Along the way, what Xu Feng saw most was the workers trimming the green belts.
When the vehicle had already left the edge of the City.
The first feeling Xu Feng got from the street trees on both sides of the road could only be described as lush!
The dark green branches and leaves extended above the road. The branches and leaves of the trees on both sides intertwined, and the layered thickness made it impossible for even a ray of sunlight to fall through.
Hu Dabing opened the car window and threw out the cigarette butt.
The air blowing in from outside was no longer stuffy and hot; amidst the rustling of the leaves, it was rather cool, even a little cold.
Although cool, the smell of the air was really not good.
Looking out.
On this Green Hell road that stretched as far as the eye could see, there was basically a puddle of crushed rotten meat every seven or eight meters, run over by car wheels.
Some of the bodies were visible, and Xu Feng could tell they were Snakes.
There were also some rats, Centipedes, and some large insects whose names he couldn't identify.
It was precisely because of the carcasses of these animals and insects on the road that the air smelled somewhat bad.
"The plants have grown more luxuriantly this year than they did more than ten years ago, and the animals are comfortable," Hu Dabing was already used to the situation on the road, but he still couldn't help but complain.
It didn't take long.
When the vehicle slowly stopped, the huge grave in the distance, seemingly wrapped in Green Hell, stood quietly before his eyes.
Even though he had heard Hu Dabing describe the place before, Xu Feng still held his breath the first time he saw the situation here.
"Since you've really decided to go, take this thing."
With another cigarette in his mouth, Hu Dabing took something from his body and handed it to Xu Feng.
Seeing this thing, Xu Feng's pupils slightly constricted: "Gun?! How do you have this?"
"Take it," Hu Dabing stuffed the pistol into Xu Feng's pocket: "When you come out, I'll tell you on the telephone."
A few minutes later.
Looking at Hu Dabing driving away, Xu Feng looked at the heavy pistol in his hand, and then shifted his gaze to Baiquan Mountain in the distance...
Walking to the foot of the mountain, the first thing Xu Feng saw was the tourist attraction's parking lot, which was mostly covered by lush weeds.
The plants on the mountain were like Ghost claws, desperately spreading towards the foot of the mountain.
The mountain path, which should have been wide, was now only a narrow winding path due to the plants.
"This is clearly not safe. No matter how simple-minded that Huang Gang is, he wouldn't take the Students up the mountain, would he?"
Xu Feng muttered to himself.
"Teacher Xu!!"
A sudden cry of surprise made Xu Feng turn his head to look.
He saw.
At the foot of the mountain, in a hotel under the tourist attraction in the distance, a beautiful female Student was constantly waving at him.
This was his Student, the class representative.
Seeing this Student and the Students behind her, one by one poking their heads out with meat skewers, Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed the situation wasn't as bad as he thought.
"Why are you here? Where's Huang Gang?"
Arriving in front of the hotel, looking at the Students eating barbecue before him, Xu Feng asked.
"Teacher Huang and Li Xiu went up the mountain. We are waiting for them."
"Went up the mountain?" Xu Feng's heart tightened.
Class representative Wang Pingping nodded and said: "When we came yesterday, Teacher Wang saw the situation on the mountain and originally planned to take us back to School after staying in this hotel for one night."
"But in the morning, Lin Yue saw a beautiful flower in the mountain and wanted to pick it, so she ran directly into Baiquan Mountain and hasn't returned."
"Teacher Huang and Li Xiu went up the mountain to look for her."
"What time did Huang Gang enter the mountain?"
"Eight o'clock in the morning, I guess," one of the Students spoke up.
Xu Feng took out his telephone and looked.
It was now four o'clock in the afternoon...
Looking at these Students, Xu Feng took out his telephone and notified the School.
"Stay here and don't run around. A School car will come to pick you up later," After instructing these Students, Xu Feng frowned and looked at Baiquan Mountain before him, realizing he had to go in.
The situation was obviously not safe, and even a simple-minded person like Huang Gang wouldn't take the Students up the mountain, would he?
