Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Chapter 12: matryoshka

After everyone gathered in the living room. Led by Yuan Xueming, everyone set off to look for nesting dolls again. It didn't snow today, but the sky was gray, and I don't know when it will suddenly snow again.

Everyone was close to each other and followed Yuan Xueming silently, the atmosphere was a little depressed. They are like a flock of penguins that need to snuggle up against the cold. But once something happened, they immediately turned into wolves baring their teeth, questioning and condemning their companions, and even beating killers.

Xu Rendong walked at the end of the team and whispered in Lian Qiao's ear: "Don't tell anyone about the conditions of death."

Lian Qiao said: "I understand. If this is the condition of death, then the most dangerous thing is not the rabbit, but the person."

Xu Rendong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lian Qiao was younger than him, and he looked like he didn't know the world, but he understood people better than him. That being the case, he didn't need to ask anything. My heart is inexplicable.

Yuan Xueming held a compass in his hand and walked everyone in a certain direction for a long time, but he still didn't see any buildings. The surrounding trees are getting sparser and sparser, and it seems that they have reached the edge of the forest.

Everyone was a little tired, so they suggested to stop and rest. Everyone took out the dry bread and milk that they carried with them, but it was freezing and snowing, and the milk could not be heated, so it was really uncomfortable to drink it in the stomach.

Xu Rendong touched the cold milk bottle and hesitated. He has a bad stomach, and drinking ice milk is prone to diarrhea. But in this intensity of trek, the body may not be able to take it without adding some water. Just as he was about to bite the bullet and take two sips, Lian Qiao suddenly handed over a glass bottle of milk.

"Brother honeysuckle, drink this, this is warm."

Xu Rendong was taken aback. He remembered that the kitchen was full of milk in cardboard boxes, but he didn't see any glass bottles. Lian Qiao probably guessed what he was thinking, and explained, "I filled it with a glass bottle I found in the church... I washed this bottle carefully and scalded it with boiling water, so it's not dirty." He poured the milk The bottle was stuffed into Xu Rendong's hand and said, "This way you shouldn't have diarrhea after drinking it."

Xu Rendong found that the glass bottle was still a little warm. It was only then that he realized that Lian Qiao hid the bottle of milk close to his body, and warmed the milk with his body temperature along the way, and didn't take it out to him until this time.

Xu Rendong's heart warmed, but she was a little puzzled: "How do you know that I can't drink ice milk?"

Lian Qiao "Huh": "Didn't you tell me yourself?"

Xu Rendong was stunned again. He thought about it carefully and made sure that since the first time he saw Lian Qiao until now, he has never mentioned his bad stomach. So he said very firmly: "I didn't say it. You may have confused me with others."

Lian Qiao looked dazed: "Impossible, I only know you well here... And it's only two or three days, how could I be wrong?" He was a little dissatisfied, He racked his brains and thought hard, "When did you tell me... I feel like you told me yourself."

Xu Rendong thought this was strange, but couldn't figure it out for a while. Lian Qiao gave up quickly, and said aggrievedly: "Oh, don't worry about it, anyway, you really have a bad stomach... I finally got hot..."

Xu Rendong touched the warm glass bottle, and her heart became very warm. He decided to stop worrying about these little things, so he opened the bottle cap, raised his head, and took a few gulps.

Lian Qiao looked at the slightly throbbing Adam’s apple on his snow-white neck, thinking that he swallowed the milky white liquid with his own body temperature in his throat, and suddenly shyly “popped” and covered it again face.

Xu Rendong: "?"

Lian Qiao: "It's nothing, you drink slowly, don't choke."

He couldn't help but imagine Xu Rendong being choked. Tears spilled out of the corners of the slightly red eyes, milky white liquid was stained on the soft lips, and the body trembled slightly due to the coughing. That picture... Lian Qiao felt that he had a faint tendency to become hard, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly took a big mouthful of ice milk. , calm yourself down.

A small man suddenly stood up and asked, "Is anyone going to pee?"

Xu Hong laughed mercilessly: "Are you a female student? Do you need someone to go with you when you go to the toilet?"

The man said angrily: "What's wrong with being careful? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Xu Hong snorted coldly: "Then go farther, I will faint."

Everyone was still thinking about the relationship between peeing and fainting, but the man was the first to react, and his face flushed with anger. The man had already seen her fiery temper, and he didn't want to bother with her anymore, so he gritted his teeth and turned his head away. The other men in the team followed him silently and entered the woods.

The women looked at the men who were leaving, maybe they also had this need, but the girls wanted them to be around a bunch of strange men, or do it in the wild What kind of thing, they are embarrassed in the end.

Lian Qiao weakly raised his hand: "I want to go too." He found that Xu Rendong was looking at him, and emphasized with a guilty conscience: "I really want to pee!"

Xu Rendong: "Go, I didn't stop you."

Lian Qiao glanced at him with a strange expression and ran away quickly.

Xu Rendong: "..." He sometimes thinks Lian Qiao is really suspicious.

There are only two men left in the team, Yuan Xueming and Xu Rendong. Yuan Xueming walked up to Xu Rendong and said with a smile, "Why don't you go with your little friend?"

Xu Rendong is inexplicable: "What is there to accompany? He is no longer a child."

Yuan Xueming gave him a meaningful look: "You protect him so much, I thought you were treating him like a child."

Xu Rendong felt that this was a no-brainer, so he didn't continue, and silently stuffed the dry bread into his mouth to replenish his strength.

After a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did Lian Qiao and the others go for so long? Just when he started to worry, he saw the men running out of the woods yelling. The fastest runner was naturally Lian Qiao. After all, he had long legs, and he took one step to reach the other two. Other men were jealous of his good looks and good figure before, but now they found out that his physical fitness was not bad. No matter how hard everyone ran, they still fell behind him, and their faces were full of resentment.

"Ah ah ah ah!" Lian Qiao ran to Xu Rendong, took his hand and ran.

Although everyone doesn't know what happened, but seeing these men so panicked, in short, run for now. So the group didn't care about packing things, and they started running for their lives in such a hurry. Everyone still had lingering fears about the dead body in the morning, and they all ran like crazy. No one dared to look back, as if an invisible monster was chasing him.

I don't know how many kilometers they ran, but the girls couldn't hold it anymore, and the speed gradually slowed down. Jiang Li even thumped and fell directly to the ground. He covered his ankle with a painful expression, and it seemed that he really sprained his foot this time.

Xu Rendong noticed a big stone hidden in the snow beside her feet, and thought silently in her heart: Oh, retribution.

Wang Yuan turned his head and ran back to Jiang Li without hesitation. Xu Rendong felt that even Qiao had slowed down and turned back frequently, as if he was struggling to stop and wait for them. Others ignored the young couple and continued running.

Everyone ran away again. The girls couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to their knees one by one in the snow, clutching their chests and gasping for breath. The expression on his face was desperate.

Yuan Xueming stopped first and stayed beside the girls. He did not know when he was already holding a hatchet in his hand, and was staring at the back vigilantly. When the other men saw this, they also came back. The little man asked in shock, "No, didn't you catch up?"

Xu Hong gasped and sneered: "Even if you catch up... hu, hu... and that couple, the young couple, are at the bottom, what are you afraid of?" She was running out of breath. In spite of his anger, he can still make such a mocking sneer, which shows that he is really proficient in this industry.

The little man was furious: "You're just staring at me, aren't you?"

Xu Hong snorted from her nose, turned her head away, and seemed to disdain to look at him again. The man took two steps forward and saw that he was about to make a move. Yuan Xueming held him down and shouted in a deep voice, "If you quarrel at such a time, you will not die, right?!"

The man glared at Xu Hong, turned his head and walked away. Yuan Xueming glanced at the men who had just left the team and asked, "What did you see?"

A man said: "We found a nesting doll, but..." He looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to describe the scene he saw.

Lian Qiao said: "What came out of the nesting doll was a cloud of black mist. The person holding the nesting doll didn't have time to hide, and was caught in the black mist and twisted into a twist."

His description is short but vivid. A **** scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and their faces suddenly became ugly. At this time, Wang Yuan supported Jiang Li and limped to keep up with the large army. Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Yuan asked, "What's wrong? Why did you all stop?"

No one answered him. After a while, Yuan Xueming pondered: "Since that thing is no longer chasing us, I want to go back and see if I can retrieve the nesting doll. Women should rest here." He looked at the men present, "Who are you? Would you like to go with me? Take me to the place where the accident happened."

The men were silent. Lian Qiao glanced at Xu Rendong, and Xu Rendong asked, "Do you want to go?"

Lian Qiao nodded, pursed her lips a little uneasily, and said, "I want to go, but I'm a little..."

Xu Rendong said: "I will accompany you."

Lian Qiao was moved to tears: "Brother Honeysuckle, why are you so kind to me?"

Xu Rendong: "Because you are the first one I met in this world..."

Lian Qiao's expression was somber for a moment: "I'm not small, I'm really not small... Why don't you take off your pants tonight and show you?"

Xu Rendong was silent for a moment, then changed his voice: "Well, you are the first big bird I met in this world."

Lian Qiao: "..." Why are you obsessed with birds?

In the end, only Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao were willing to recycle the nesting dolls with Yuan Xueming. They followed the footprints left when they ran wild, and walked for a long time before returning to the place of the accident.

Xu Rendong saw the body of the victim at a glance, and as Lian Qiao said, the body was twisted into a twisted twist. And it turned exactly 360 degrees, the head and feet were still on the same plane, but the body was in a spiral shape, twisting a complete circle. This man died in a terrible state, his entire spine was broken, and the dislocated broken bones pierced the skin, revealing pieces of white bones. The blood soaked through the clothes and dyed the snow into a huge red flower. The scene was extremely terrifying.

Xu Rendong looked at this scene and couldn't help thinking of the death of Lian Qiao when he was headshot by Brother Sledgehammer when he stepped out of the elevator for the first time. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lian Qiao, but at this moment, he almost made him laugh. I saw Lian Qiao covering his mouth and twitching his shoulders, but he was not crying, but hiccupping.

He couldn't stop hiccupping, looking at Xu Rendong with grief, aggrieved and asking for help. Xu Rendong spread his hands, saying that he didn't know how to stop the hiccup. Take it and you will.

Yuan Xueming picked up the unscrewed nesting doll from the corpse's feet. At this time, the nesting doll was empty, and the black fog disappeared. When Lian Qiao saw that he was holding the nesting doll in his hand, he suddenly showed a very subtle expression. He was about to speak, but he choked and turned into a big hiccup.

Xu Rendong: "..." Hold on, don't laugh, there is still a tragically dead body here.

Yuan Xueming just put the nesting doll in his pocket, Lian Qiao finally said, "Brother Yuan, you'd better wipe it with snow... hiccup, this doll has just been pissed."

Yuan Xueming suddenly showed an indescribable expression. Lian Qiao explained: "When we urinated just now, the pee melted the snow, and we saw that there were nesting dolls in the snow. So..."

Xu Rendong noticed that Lian Qiao suddenly stopped hiccupping, which showed that the fear in his heart had been replaced by other emotions. Xu Rendong wanted to laugh a little, but he felt that laughing now would be schadenfreude and impolite, so he held back and cast an honest and sympathetic look at Yuan Xueming.

The corner of Yuan Xueming's mouth twitched, and after a while, he said sadly, "Forget it, put it all in. I'll just...let's do it first."

Lian Qiao sincerely suggested: "Then don't forget to wash your hands after you go back, after all, we eat bread with our hands."

Yuan Xueming and Xu Rendong had a tasteful picture in their minds at the same time.

Yuan Xueming: “…”

This time Xu Rendong couldn't hold back anymore and laughed. Yuan Xueming glanced at the two with a complicated expression and said, "Let's go, go back and gather with everyone."

Lian Qiao asked: "Do you want to continue to the east?"

Yuan Xueming: "I planned so, what's wrong?"

Lian Qiao glanced at the corpse on the ground and sighed: "Now there are nesting dolls hidden in the snow, do you know what this means?"

Yuan Xueming narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Lian Qiao said: "Meaning, this copy is actually very difficult. We may all die here."
