Thriller Tour Group

“Scattered, scattered, the black wind scattered!”

Guide III and the monster went all out battling in the black wind of resentment. Wang Pengpai and the others were waiting outside, burning with anxiety. After the Ghost Hitting The Wall no longer existed, the electronic equipment that had faced some interference finally returned to normal, but the time had already reached 10:30 p.m.

They had to return to Baby Bamboo Miao Village before 11 o’clock. Without even mentioning that Hou Feihu and the others were still missing, III-9 was still fighting and his battle showed no signs of ending. Xu Chen stared at the black wind of resentment, searching for III-9’s figure. Because he had used too much of his power, his eyes were leaking bloody tears.

While they were trying their best to rush to III-9’s side, the invisible wall separating them from III-9 dispersed together with the black wind, revealing III-9’s figure. 

It was over!

The anxious Zhao Hongtu rushed over first. Before he could even call out “Guide III,” he saw III-9 jump up and down on the spot as if he went nuts, trampling on the puddle. His voice sounded as if he was choking, and he muttered and scolded with words like “Wu Laoliu, you must die” and “I’ll buy pesticides.”

Zhao Hongtu was stunned by the terrifying wounds on III-9, but then he heard III-9 crying——No, no, it must be him who misheard III-9. How could Guide III sob? Zhao Hongtu suddenly violently shook his head, anxiously grabbing III-9’s sleeve and asking:

“Guide III, Brother Hou and them, they disappeared. Do you know where they——”

“Don’t ask that now. Let’s hurry up and get going!”

Wang Pengpai, Xu Chen, and Yu Hean rushed over. Wang Pengpai hurriedly gave Zhao Hongtu a look before he lifted III-9 onto his shoulders and rushed in the direction of the SUV. Zhao Hongtu, who was holding onto III-9’s sleeve, was pushed a few steps forward. Subconsciously, he looked in the direction Wang Pengpai was staring when Wang Pengpai gave him the look, and his heart suddenly chilled.

He saw that the fog that had dispersed had reformed and was expanding upstream of Little Dragon Stream, surging like a magnificent sea of clouds. In the blink of an eye, the fog touched the graves and rushed towards them.

A sense of crisis pierced Zhao Hongtu’s nerves like a needle, and his scalp went numb. He felt a strong sense of crisis from the rolling clouds, and he didn’t dare to say anything else. His instincts drove him to turn around and run away. When he reached the SUV, he saw that Wang Pengpai had taken III-9 and had placed him in the seat in the middle. And as if Xu Chen had caught fire, he charged towards the driver’s seat. 

“Come on, get in the vehicle!”

Xu Chen anxiously waved towards Zhao Hongtu and rushed into the car. Before the vehicle’s door was closed, Xu Chen stepped on the accelerator and slammed the steering wheel. The car’s drifting almost threw Zhao Hongtu out.

“Bang——”

The SUV drifted, splashing mud and water all around. The vehicle roared like a beast, before turning around and accelerating towards Baby Bamboo Miao Village. The speed of the vehicle was so fast that it was as if the vehicle was running for its life. The sea of fog followed, swallowing the place where the car was parked just now. 

The cold Yin energy chilled everyone in the vehicle so much that their scalps turned numb, and it was as if their entire body was sending them warning signs.

“Hou, Brother Hou!!”

Zhao Hongtu clenched his teeth and clasped on the longbow, and his expression darkened. Without saying a word, he wanted to open the door and jump down. In their rear, there was an extremely terrifying and dangerous thick fog. He couldn’t turn the whole car around to find Hou Feihu and others, but Zhao Hongtu was unwilling to leave behind Hou Feihu and Leader Miao without doing anything.

He was going to find them himself!

“Little Zhao, we’re done exploring the small scenic spot, understand? Leader Miao is also done exploring the small scenic spot!” 

Wang Pengpai got up and grabbed Zhao Hongtu’s collar with his big hand. As if Zhao Hongtu was a small chick, he lifted him up and neatly fastened his seat belt to buckle him down. He roared, “We just separated into two groups to complete the attraction, okay? You haven’t experienced this on a tour? Look at how anxious you are.”

“Two groups of people separated……to complete the attraction?”

The confused Zhao Hongtu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. Yu Hean’s eyes suddenly brightened, and they almost asked in unison, “Brother Hou, Leader Miao and Huihui are still alive?”

“They are alive, they must be alive. You guys can rest completely assured.” 

Wang Pengpai stated. His knowledgeable and firm as Mount Tai attitude relaxed their tense nerves a little. “Remember, this is only a dangerous-level tour, so there can be no absolutely unsolvable attractions. It’s impossible for them to die after making the wrong choice of choosing the ghost baby.”

“We have just chosen two different options. Do you understand? If you don’t believe me, then ask Guide III when we return to make sure they are still alive. Trust me.”

“Really, really?”

Yu Hean stammered, worried sick. He probed his head out, intending to ask III-9 as if he was grasping onto a life-saving straw, “Guide, Guide III——Guide III, you have blood on your body!” 

The tone of his voice suddenly changed, and it rose by several decibels. He was frightened by the blood-soaked seat III-9 was sitting on. The fat man who carried III-9 was also drenched in blood, and it was as if the two people rolled in a sea of blood. Yu Hean was so frightened his voice became incoherent:

“Hurry, stop Guide III from bleeding, Guide III, Guide——”

“Be quiet.”

That cold and indifferent sentence caused Yu Hean to act like a goose whose head was pinched by the neck. He didn’t dare to say another word, but he still tried his best to send a message using his eyes. Given how fast Guide III was bleeding, even he would die! 

“It’s Wu Laoliu stirring trouble.”

After calming down, Zhao Hongtu found a reason. He lowered his voice, expression grim, and told Wang Pengpai and others what he had heard when III-9 had angrily argued with Wu Laoliu. Then, Zhao Hongtu realized that III-9 was in a horrible situation. Just now, when he tried grabbing III-9’s sleeves, Wang Pengpai carried III-9 into the car. III-9 didn’t respond!

Obviously, although the battle was over, the damned vicious old evil ghost Wu Laoliu must have caused a serious mental injury to Guide III. Zhao Hongtu suddenly realized that they had made an incorrect conjecture previously. When III-9 and Wu Laoliu were bargaining, Guide III wasn’t at a disadvantage, contrary to their imaginations. He must have obtained a large advantage. No wonder the bamboo baskets were so cheap.

Thus, Wu Laoliu must have developed a grudge against Guide III. Zhao Hongtu was afraid that he had been lying in wait, waiting to ambush him nearby. When Guide III was about to complete the task, he made a sudden sneak attack, which caused Guide III to be seriously injured and even fall into a trance. 

So that was what happened!

Yu Hean, Xu Chen and the others suddenly understood. Wang Pengpai followed suit and showed an expression as if he also suddenly understood. In his heart, he was so worried he was gritting his teeth. What bullshit was Zhao Hongtu sprouting, Wu Laoliu had never made a sneak attack. Instead, it was obviously because he was suffering from moderate SAN loss!

Generally, the dropping of SAN for tour guides could be divided into three stages. When the SAN value was 50-90, it was considered mild SAN loss, when the SAN value was 30-50, it was considered moderate SAN loss, and when the SAN value was below 30, it was considered high SAN loss. Different tour guides would act differently when losing SAN: mania, becoming insane, mutation, or loss of intelligence——However, Wang Pengpai really didn’t expect that III-9’s SAN would drop to such an extent!

Only those Platinum-ranked tour guides would dare to play with their SAN. As for other tour guides, they should be afraid when their countdown to death falls below a month. Even the slaughterer tour guides rarely felt the need to keep their countdown to death down less than three days. 

Why was III-9 so crazy!

Moments ago, after Wang Pengpai put III-9 on his shoulder, he got in the car. Then, when Wang Pengpai was fishing for a sweet in his pocket, he recalled that they were in a horrible predicament. III-9 didn’t belong to a tour party. He couldn’t feel the comfort and concern of his tourists, and thus, his SAN value could not be restored.

It was easy to treat physical injuries. The tour guide could just add some time to their countdown to death and buy some treatment props from the Travel Services. The worst case would be if III-9 fell into a state of passively resisting treatment. He would allow the blood to continue to flow, and in this way, he would die sooner or later.

If III-9 passed away, the tour group was basically finished! 

However, it would take at least half a day for III-9 to die, while the crisis they were facing now was imminent.

“Xu Chen, drive faster!”

Wang Pengpai had been looking at the fog behind them, and saw the gray fog was getting closer and closer. A buzzing sound travelled out from the fog, and it was as if there were hundreds of millions of flying mosquitoes in the fog. The buzzing sound caused all their scalps to feel numb.

After a welfare attraction ended, a monster would always appear. It seemed that the Travel Services wanted to give tourists unlimited challenges. The rewards of a welfare attraction were rich, but the danger after the tourists completed the attraction was also extremely terrifying. The tourists often relaxed their vigilance after completing welfare attractions, so they would be swallowed up by fog monsters. 

There were many kinds of fog monsters. Wang Pengpai knew that they would met fog mosquitoes this time. These little things were extremely difficult to shake off. They loved to lay eggs in warm flesh and blood, turning people into their puppets and granaries. The only advantage the tourists had is that they could not attack from a distance. As long as the car drove fast enough and could stay away from the fog, they would not be hurt.

But now, the speed of the SUV was getting slower and slower. The fog was more than 20 meters away from the vehicle, but it followed them closely, and was about to lick the rear of the SUV!

“A flat tire!”

Xu Chen’s voice, which had always been calm, was so tense that his voice almost sounded distorted, “I can’t speed up!” 

After making a sharp turn just now, one of the tires burst. Furthermore, he was driving on a muddy road. Xu Chen had given his all just to stabilize the car at their current speed. His driving skills were just average, so how could he accelerate again?

When it rained, it poured. At this time, with a bam, the SUV sank. The wheels of the vehicle spun in place, but they couldn’t move forward anymore.

“We’ve sunk into a pit. What should we do!”

Xu Chen hurriedly stepped on the accelerator, but he couldn’t force the car to go forward no matter what he did. The edge of Baby Bamboo Miao Village could be seen to the front, but the car broke down at this spot. “Jump down from the car and run. We can’t drive the car!” 

Middle-ranked tourists had not experienced welfare attractions, so they did not know how terrifying fog mosquitoes were. How could human legs exceed the speed of the swarm of fog mosquitoes?

“We will all die if we get off the car!”

Wang Pengpai went all out. He rolled up his sleeves and cursed, “Motherfucker! Let this fat lord drive. Little Zhao, you stay in the backseat!”

The heavier the sense of crisis they felt, the more the tour group needed a firm voice commanding them. It was too late to think. Zhao Hongtu, who was in the co-driver’s seat, shifted to the seat in the middle. Xu Chen shifted to the co-driver’s seat, and Wang Pengpai sat in the driver’s seat. It took them a mere ten seconds to change their seats, but the fog had already covered the SUV. 

They could only hear the buzzing of the mosquitoes covering the window as if the vehicle was covered with a layer of wheat bran. They couldn’t see the surroundings outside, and the most frightening thing was the sound of bzzt, bzzt, bzzt. It was the sound of corrosion, and it came from all over the outside of the car——the fog mosquitoes were corroding the SUV!

After they corroded the car, the people inside would become lambs ready to be slaughtered. Even if Wang Pengpai moved fast, the situation had reached an extremely dangerous predicament. It was difficult to turn the situation around. Zhao Hongtu grabbed his long bow tightly, and his heartbeat was as heavy as a drum’s beating. It was no longer important to avoid doing anything they might regret. In the dark, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle and he stared at a spot beside III-9, aiming at the door. This was the spot where the corrosion was the most serious.

Time seemed to solidify at this moment. They were like fish on a chopping board, lambs to be slaughtered. Zhao Hongtu clenched his teeth and waited to act the instant when the monsters eroded through the door. But in the next moment, the scene in front of him froze his blood.

III-9, who had been leaning quietly against the door, opened the window! 

“What are you doing!”

Zhao Hongtu rushed forward to pull III-9’s arm back, but it was too late. The window was fully opened by III-9. The buzzing sound suddenly rang all around them. The fog mosquitoes swarmed in, and everyone was about to die——

No, that was not right.

The fog mosquitoes did not swarm in. They all squatted on III-9’s left arm, which was stretched out of the window, soaked in blood! 

The swarms of large mosquitoes began to die after sucking his blood. Wei Xun’s arm shook slightly, and as if the mosquitoes were frozen into ice cubes, they shattered when they hit the the ground.

The author has something to say:

[Today’s cold joke]

[Why do the fog mosquitoes begin to die in swarms?] 

[The fog mosquitoes who were so cold that they were dazed: Buzz, buzz……this blood……is……very……cold]
