Chapter 006: There Are Ghosts Outside the Window

Xia Xiaonuan looked at him and said: "Wu Chen, we came here to find someone; we cannot stay here forever"

Bitter Melon shook his head: "Of course not, I just think you are overthinking it. You have always been like this, but isn't it pointless to overthink?"

Gazing at the rain outside, Wu Chen let out a bitter smile and said, "Do you also think I am afraid?"

After Wu Chen returned to the room, he found that the faces of several girls had improved significantly compared to before. He was very surprised and did not understand what Shidi Sha and Ren had said to them. They had just been filled with terror; why had they become unafraid so quickly?

Wu Chen gently patted his shoulder: "If this rain continues, we will be unable to leave here, we must be extremely cautious."

Everyone began to echo her words. Liu Cuili said, "Although it has started to rain now, we can make it and push forward a bit. There are so many buildings here; if we really want to search, we have to look for them one by one. This will take time, and we cannot just sit here and wait"

Here on the island, as the rain intensifies, a mist begins to envelop the area, further enhancing the eerie atmosphere.

At this moment, the rain outside was helping Wu Chen. The rain was getting heavier, and such weather was certainly not suitable for going out. The island was muddy everywhere. Sha Shidi looked grimly at the sky outside, while Ryan whispered something to Liu Cuili. Finally, he looked at everyone and said: "The rain is getting heavier; let us wait a while and go deeper once it stops."

Wu Chen had not slept at all, waiting until the late hours of the night when the rain finally began to lessen. At that moment, it was also Kuguo's turn to be on duty, allowing him to finally close his eyes with a sense of relief. In a daze, he lost track of time until a gunshot startled everyone awake. He immediately jumped up and pulled Xia Xiaonuan to his side, only to realize that there was only one flashlight still lit. Kuguo was holding a gun, staring out the window. In the light, one could see that Kuguo's face was drenched in sweat. He shouted towards the outside, "There is a ghost out there."

We will not go anywhere until we clarify the situation. We can either return to the ship to report the incident or stay here to sort things out.

Wu Chen turned back to look at the trail of bloody footprints and crouched down to examine them closely. However, he was not a detective, and he could not deduce anything from just these footprints. Sha Shidi and Ryan immediately began to pack their things, speaking as they worked: "We need to start searching immediately; they must be somewhere on this island."

Liu Cuili frowned: "We came here to find someone, and they came up secretly. If we go back now, wouldn't that be a waste of our efforts? Moreover, what can we gain by waiting here? What if someone else goes missing?"

Wu Chen turned around and saw Sha Shidi and Ryan talking to some other girls. He turned back and, as he passed by Kuguo, slipped something into Kuguo's hand. Kuguo was taken aback upon seeing the item and couldn't understand what Wu Chen meant for a long time. As Wu Chen walked past him, he whispered, "Put it away, don't let it be seen."

Amidst the widespread panic, Ku Guo bent down to pick up the M870 shotgun with four eyes leaning against the wall and stood beside Xia Xiaonuan, saying: "Don't be afraid, Nuan Nuan, I am here."

However, Wu Chen's thoughts were completely different. Regardless of experience, the events occurring here were all unusual. If they delved deeper without understanding the situation, who knew what awaited them in the depths of the island?

We should go in quickly; not only have we not found Mengmeng, but Si Yuan is also missing. Let's search a bit, and if we really can't find them, we will go back and report to the police.

Everyone sat down again at https://m.hetushu.com and began to have instant food for breakfast. Wu Chen had no appetite, so he went upstairs again. This time, he went all the way up to the third floor, which was even messier. The walls were painted haphazardly, and various unknown trash was strewn across the floor. Against the wall were several large iron cabinets, similar to those on the first floor, with their doors wide open, and the contents long gone. He stood by the window, gazing into the depths of the island, where he could only see some dilapidated buildings, the spire of a church, and two relatively tall chimney stacks, while the remaining structures were hidden beneath the vegetation.

We must remain calm; perhaps Siuyan has discovered something, which is why she went out. We need not frighten ourselves.

Two people were smoking and chatting on the third floor. In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and the rain showed no signs of stopping. Xia Xiaonuan brought them some food, and after the three finished eating, they continued their conversation. With Xia Xiaonuan by their side, they discussed various topics, without mentioning the dangers present here.

Bitter melon stood by the door and shouted to him: "Wu Chen, come back! It's raining so heavily outside. We can just wait here until the rain stops."

Although Kuguo did not understand what Wu Chen was trying to do, and although he sometimes joked with Wu Chen, when it came time to make a real decision, he listened to Wu Chen very attentively. Without even asking a question, he immediately stuffed the items that Wu Chen handed him into his clothes.

Xia Xiaonuan makes a valid point; they often explore the city, while this is Wu Chen's first time and she lacks experience in this regard. Xia Xiaonuan believes that Wu Chen's excessive caution is causing her psychological tension, which is why she has been advising her continuously

Wu Chen did not have a deep understanding of this island, nor did he possess any experience in urban exploration, yet he was acutely aware of his inner thoughts. He was not afraid; rather, he felt a sense of strangeness, akin to an intuition. However, he could not articulate what exactly felt strange, and this sensation was exceedingly unpleasant

There is a saying that if you don't seek trouble, you won't find it. Wu Chen looked at these girls, and he completely could not understand what they were thinking. On the very first night, strange things occurred, yet they seemed utterly unconcerned. Could it be that they are not afraid of danger at all

Wu Chen let out a cold laugh without saying a word. If he had gone out himself, how could there be blood footprints? There must be something strange about this. While pondering these thoughts, he walked out of the small building. He began to feel a headache again; the rain outside was getting heavier. At this rate, they would surely be trapped in this small building.

Bitter melon smiled slightly: "Wu Chen, you are overthinking this with your books. We are here to accompany them. If we sense any danger, we can just take Nuan Nuan and leave. Besides, you don't need to worry too much; with this gun in hand, who would dare to harm us? I'll take care of them."

A lit cigarette was handed to his lips. It was Kuguo who had come upstairs. He took a puff after receiving the cigarette. Kuguo, holding a gun, wanted to ask something, but Wu Chen gently waved his hand. Kuguo glanced back and saw no one else, so he wanted to speak again. However, Wu Chen suddenly interrupted him, pointing at the indistinct buildings ahead and said, "Do you think something happened? Are they watching us from those buildings now?"

In the past, such incidents have occurred; we experienced mysterious disappearances of teammates in an abandoned subway network in Russia. However, it later turned out to be merely a prank. They believed that Si Yan must have gone off to look for Meng Meng, and regarding those bloody footprints, it was just his dark sense of humor, " Xia Xiaonuan whispered to Wu Chen.

The sky on this island seemed to be cursed, with rain falling incessantly, not stopping for even a day. By evening, it was still pouring heavily. Sand Monk wore a gloomy expression, cursing continuously, while everyone else felt quite bored. After dinner, shifts were arranged for duty, and as they listened to the rain outside, they fell asleep again.

Wu Chen lightly shook her head: "What about you? Do you also agree to go searching now?"
