Chapter 247: The Night of Horror

Chu Nan took off his helmet, revealed his original appearance, and said, "Why are you staying here and not going to the city? It's close to the mountainous area, I'm afraid it's not safe."

Seeing that Chu Nan was really a human, these people breathed a sigh of relief. When they heard Chu Nan’s questioning, everyone showed a strange look.

"I was about to ask you about this, you came from there." The middle-aged man reached out and pointed carefully at the way Chu Nan had come before, with a strange expression on his face.

Seeing Chu Nan nodding, the expressions on the faces of these dozen people became even more strange.

"How is that possible? Haven't you touched the haunted house?" One of the young men couldn't help but cry out.

"Hazed house?" Chu Nan frowned slightly.

"It's just a small wooden house, which seems to have been abandoned for a long time. It used to be a place where the forest rangers patrol and rest... But after the last ranger died there, it has turned into a haunted house, and no one dares to approach it." The young man said this, with a look of fear on his face: "You came over there, haven't you encountered it? If you met, how could you survive and make a comeback?"

Chu Nan understood that the haunted house they were talking about should be the strange wooden house he had encountered on the way before. A large number of ants were piled up around. Hearing these people calling the haunted house, Chu Nan felt a little furious in his heart.

"I did see a small wooden house on the way, with corpses of various mutant ants piled up all over the way. Is that wooden house the haunted house you mentioned?" Chu Nan asked, and continued, "What's wrong with the forest ranger dead there?"

The middle-aged man had a look of fear in his eyes. He said, "That's what happened before the earthquake. No one knows why. The forest ranger was hung in the wooden house. The police said he committed suicide, but... his hands were tied backwards. How could the suicide person tie his hands up? It's all circulated in private in our area... He said that he had encountered something unclean and was hung by that thing... After that, strange things often happened in the room. After the earthquake... it became even more terrifying. We didn't want to leave here, but we didn't dare to approach the haunted house. Weird, why can you come over safely?"

Chu Nan frowned and said, "Even if there is the haunted house you mentioned here, you can go to the other side." After that, Chu Nan reached out and pointed to the front. This direction was exactly the direction he was about to go.

These dozen people shook their heads almost at the same time, indicating that they could not leave.

"Impossible, I can't leave here." The middle-aged man said this, suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes wide and said, "Are you going to walk here?"

Seeing their performance, Chu Nan vaguely realized that there must be something dangerous ahead, so he turned around and said, "Is there anything like a haunted house in this direction?"

These people looked at each other for a while, and the middle-aged man said, "There is a place called a graveyard. As long as the living thing goes in, you can't come back alive. You must never go in there."

Chu Nan frowned.

One of the young men suddenly cried out: "I understand, I understand why you can come here safely... that ghost... that haunted house... intentionally let you in... and then... will trap you here like us... every day... we are trapped here... we... we are trapped here... at the beginning, there were more than 200 people... now... only a dozen of us are dead... we are suffering from this invisible fear every day. No one knows who will be the next one... you... you... you are becoming the same as us now..."

The young man looked at the sky dumbly, muttering to himself, trembling all over, and looked frightened.

Chu Nan looked at these people, all of them had deep eyes, pale face and thin skin, and seemed to have suffered great torture to survive to this day.

"It's going to be dark soon... Everyone... Everyone is about to catch fire, otherwise... or something terrifying will happen again." The middle-aged man looked at Chu Nan and said, "Young man, you can't go to the grave. Although you don't know how you came in,... you want to escape... but it's impossible..."

Chu Nan shook his head and said, "I have something to do, I have to go there, what kind of chasm is just right to see it."

When the middle-aged man saw Chu Nan insisting, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then...why you stay here all night, and it will be dawn tomorrow, and then go to the grave again. During the day, the sun is there, and your chance of passing will be bigger. At night... don't go."

Chu Nan looked up at the sky. It was indeed almost completely dark. Although Chu Nan was not afraid of the haunted houses and cemeteries they mentioned, he felt a little scared.

After all, he had seen the haunted house halfway through, and it was indeed a bit strange, which made him feel a little scared and dared not approach it.

"The graveyard is not a good place to hear the name. It's really too dangerous to go to the night. This world can no longer be solved by common sense. It's better to be cautious."

After thinking it through, Chu Nan nodded and agreed, preparing to spend the night here for a while before making a decision.

Of course, Chu Nan was not completely convinced of these people. Who knew whether they were making a fool of themselves? However, he fused with a magnifying glass and was generally immune to poison, drugs, or other negative conditions. This made Chu Nan not afraid of whether these people would make any secret moves.

Seeing that Chu Nan agreed to stay, these people led Chu Nan into the simple house that had been built soon.

There is nothing here, only the burnt residual wood in the center.

These people watched it dark, and were busy taking out a lot of prepared wood and piled it up in the center, overhead, and then starting to make a fire.

The oldest middle-aged man asked Chu Nan for his name and introduced himself.

Chu Nan told his name truthfully and knew that his name was Wang Yizhong. Others were used to calling him Uncle Wang.

The fire was raised and ten people surrounded them.

Although it was a little cool on November night, there was no need to raise the fire to keep warm, but Chu Nan clearly felt the unusual surroundings.

As the sky became completely dark, the temperature in this area dropped very quickly, and even the water mist could be seen when the air was blowing.

Many people were trembling with coldness and could only squeeze around the fire to keep warm.

Although Chu Nan's physical fitness is almost superman compared to ordinary people, he also felt the cold and it was better to roast the fire.

"Now we know why we are going to make a fire." Wang Yizhong smiled bitterly: "At this time, it's getting colder and colder here at night. We can't stand it anymore. We want to escape every day, but... those who want to escape are dead, and no matter which direction they go, it's useless."

"You said that at the beginning there were more than 200 people here, all dead?" Chu Nan asked.

Wang Yizhong nodded and sighed sadly: "Yes, now we are the only ones who die. We don't know when they will die again, because this place is too remote and we can't escape, and there are almost no outsiders coming in. These days, you are the first outsider to come in."

Chu Nan asked, "What is the terrible place in the chasm you mentioned? Why can't you break out?"

When Wang Yizhong heard him mention the chasm, a trace of fear surged in his eyes. He was about to say something, suddenly a strong wind blew into the outside of the shabby house.

The strong wind whistled violently, blowing the flames of the fire to the point of shaking.

Suddenly, everyone stopped talking and looked out together, with fear in their eyes.

The wind outside was whistling and the air temperature dropped further, making people feel colder and colder. Even when they were squeezed by the fire, everyone was still shaking with coldness.

Chu Nan narrowed his eyes, held the Jade Sword, and suddenly stood up.

Wang Yizhong looked frightened and whispered: "Don't... don't be impulsive... No matter what happens outside, don't watch... don't go out..."

The door was closed tightly, and the wind blew the door and made a constant "slap" sound. Chu Nan ignored Wang Yizhong's words, approached the crack of the door, and looked outside.

Seeing Chu Nan so bold, the others showed a look of fear, but they all covered their ears tightly, and even covered their heads, not daring to speak.

Chu Nan put on a blue helmet and covered his whole body. Just through the crack of the door, he could deeply feel the whimpering sound of the cold wind outside, like a ghost howling.

The strong wind roared, sand and stones flying outside. In the night sky, this area seemed to have completely become a ghost domain.

Beside the fire, Wang Yizhong and others were crowded together, full of fear. Chu Nan stood by the crack in the door without saying a word.

Suddenly, a faint crying sound came from the whimpering wind.

Chu Nan's ears moved slightly, revealing a stern look. Suddenly, his hair stood up, his eyes widened, and he tightly pressed against the crack in the door, looking outside.

At some point, the wooden house, which Wang Yizhong and others called the haunted house, appeared not far away.

Relying on this, Gu Lianlian stood in the darkness, no more than twenty meters away from them.

The wind was howling, and the wooden door of the wooden house was shaking constantly by the wind, and the creaking sound of Yiya kept ringing.

What's even more strange is that there was a bright fire in this wooden house.

It seemed like a candlelight. Chu Nan could vaguely see the shadow of a candle shaking through the window of the wooden house.

The crying sound of the faint woman was coming from the wooden house.

Through the bright window, Chu Nan saw clearly that the candlelight reflected a woman's shadow and pulled it long on the window.
