"Half a year ago, due to food shortage, I planned to return to Tanshan Village to look for food and seeds. On the way, I was attacked by the Man in the Mist, and my hand was chopped off by it!"

"But fortunately, it didn't kill me and let me come back alive!"

Bai Yao's brows were wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, "It doesn't kill people?"

Zhong Fei said:

"To be precise, it won't kill people, but it will prevent us from leaving the Mist Mountain. Anyone who attempts to escape from the Mist Mountain or explore the Mist Mountain will be driven back, without exception!"

At this time, Chen Xing, who came for tourism but was trapped in the foggy mountains, also moved. He took off his shoes, revealing his feet, only to see that the little toe of his left foot was missing.

"It was the same for me. When I was fleeing from the Mist Mountain, it chopped off my left little toe. But it didn't kill me, so I was lucky enough to survive."

"So it seems like it just wants to torture you?"

Bai Yao speculated.

Several people looked unhappy, because at the moment, this was indeed the case.

Eat, but never feel full.

Wearing it won’t keep you warm.

I can't live like a human being.

Death, stop being funny, no one wants to die!

They are like pets kept by the Man in the Mist for him to play and tease.

"Which direction is Tanshan Village?"

Zhong Fei pointed to the back of the wooden house and said, "Over there, Tanshan Village is now deserted. If you want to go there, you can see if there is any rice or bacon there..."

Zhong Fei did not stop Bai Yao from going to Tanshan Village, and there was even a hint of instigation in his words.

If Bai Yao can reach Tanshan Village safely, he can bring back supplies for them, which can at least improve the current situation.

The white demon didn't say yes, nor did he say no, but continued to ask:

“When did Wushan become like this?”

After these words were spoken, Zhong Yangyang and Zhong Yue showed sadness on their faces and cried silently with their hands covering their faces.

Zhong Fei's face was also indescribably solemn:

"Three years ago! The Man in the Mist ate everyone in Tanshan Village except the four of us. When we were escaping, a fog arose here and it has never dissipated since then!"

Bai Yao nodded, but did not express sympathy. "Okay, I have asked almost everything I want to know. It just so happens that I haven't seen the Man in the Mist yet. I'll see if I can meet him on the way to Tanshan Village!"

When they heard Bai Yao say that he was going to Tanshan Village, a hint of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of Zhong Fei and others.

Fu Yan also followed suit:

"I'll come with you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing immediately became anxious:

"Fu Yan, it's fine if he wants to die. You don't even know him, so why are you getting involved? I was lucky and only broke a toe. If you're unlucky, a broken hand would be the least of your worries. So don't go..."

Fu Yan knew what he was worried about.

The reason why he and Chen Xingna stayed here was because of his medical skills.

Strictly speaking, it's not really a medical skill. I just learned how to bandage wounds, identify herbs, and do simple pathology analysis when I was in the army.

During the mission, if you encounter danger and get injured, you may be lucky enough to rely on this knowledge to save your life!

If something happened to him and he became useless to Zhong Fei and the others, then both he and Chen Xing would be kicked out!

Without their food source, they would soon starve to death even if the people in the fog didn’t attack them!

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

"Besides, staying here won't solve any problems. If we don't take action, we'll just die!"

Fu Yan spoke very seriously, but Chen Xing couldn't listen.

He wanted to say something to keep Fu Yan, but Fu Yan had already pushed the door and walked out.

Zhong Fei and the others did not say anything. There was not much food to begin with, and leaving Fu Yan and Chen Xing behind was a decision they had made after weighing the pros and cons. It was not unacceptable for them to leave.

Zhong He turned his head to look at the potatoes in the fire. With two potatoes for each meal, twice a day, Chun Chun was not starving to death.

Bai Yao pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces, but in fact he was quietly holding the food preservation card under his feet in his hand.

Then he quietly took the food packaging bags they had discarded and left the cabin.

At this point, all traces of the White Demon's visit were cleared. Apart from Chen Xing in the house, this place seemed to be an isolated and uncivilized place!

"Let's go!"

After walking into the fog with Fu Yan, Bai Yao looked back and, after confirming that the wooden house was no longer visible, he threw the food preservation card and food packaging bag under a short cliff.

"Are you sure?"

Fu Yan asked as he looked at the food preservation card that disappeared into the mist.

Bai Yao nodded, and raised the corner of his mouth, "It's confirmed, they are not the so-called descendants of Tanshan Village at all, they are also modern people, and it is very likely that they are the ones who caused the birth of Wushan!"

"If they are really descendants of the isolated Tanshan Village, they would not know the food preservation card!"

"But they didn't even look at it, they just took it out and threw it away..."

He took away the food preservation cards and food packaging bags to prevent Zhong Fei and others from reacting.

At the beginning, it was indeed because I hadn’t eaten bread for a long time, and I was so hungry that I subconsciously took off my disguise.

After you finish eating and have some free time to look at the food preservation card, you will probably realize it.

It will be troublesome to try to get the question from you later!

"So far, apart from their identities as descendants of Tanshan Village, no other problems have been discovered."

"But since they intend to hide their identities, it means they must have a purpose!"

Fu Yan was very familiar with disguise.

As a member of the Night Army, camouflage and infiltration are essential.

"The purpose of camouflage is nothing more than to avoid pursuit, sneak into the enemy camp, and observe and track the target."

"Obviously, the latter two can be ruled out directly!"

"That means they are avoiding pursuit!"

"The person chasing them can't be the Man in the Mist. He can only be a mysterious organization that is hunting them for some purpose, or... the police!"

crime!

This word suddenly appeared in Bai Yao's mind.

Fu Yandao:

"As far as I can remember, Tanshan Village was a place where outsiders were forbidden to enter and the police were forbidden to enforce the law. The police were also not allowed to take away the villagers of Tanshan Village, because although Tanshan Village was a village, it was actually still in a relatively primitive society and was forbidden to interfere!"

The white demon had a deep gaze as he rolled over the stones on the ground, making a slight rustling sound.

"Logically speaking, even if they committed a crime, they should hope that the police will come to find them. After all, it is better to be in jail than in Wushan."

"But they didn't. Instead, they tried to sneak into Tanshan Village to evade police investigation. They even knew that the police would not help them if they did so, but they still did it..."

"Unless there is a huge benefit involved, so that they would rather suffer in this foggy mountain than let go!"

Fu Yan recalled the memory of the NPC he replaced:

"In that wooden house, they didn't forbid Chen Xing and I to look around, and they allowed us to enter the hiding cave freely. I guess there's nothing in the wooden house."

Bai Yao nodded, "It seems that we have to go to Tanshan Village again!"
