Chapter 69: Bloodstained Lop Nur (Text)
"Uncle Cripple, what is the living dead?"
Chen's cripple face changed, and he reluctantly smiled: "It's the kind of people who don't have the ability to think, and their subconscious has only one, and that is to bite!" ”
"Uncle Cripple, have you ever seen this thing?"
"I didn't ...... No. ”
Zhang Meng could see that Chen Cripple was deliberately trying to hide something, at this time, he and the sick ghost seemed to have been affected by something, they were all a little confused, Zhang Meng had a flash of inspiration, and he roared loudly.
"Uncle Cripple, have you ever seen this thing back then!"
"I didn't ...... No. ”
Chen Cripple shook his head, but his eyes were evasive, he didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Meng, and he didn't want to answer Zhang Meng's words.
Zhang Meng smiled bitterly, sure enough, this corpse was related to the trip to Lop Nur back then.
He wasn't so scared at this time, but his heart was like a cat scratching, and he couldn't wait to take a knife and force Chen Cripple to say a qiē.
Could the living dead also be connected to the ghost veins? Could it be that in the end, he will become like this?
A large series of question marks filled Zhang Meng's head, and this feeling of being confused and not knowing anything was really irritating.
Chen Cripple and the others sat on the ground in despair, as if they still couldn't accept what had just happened.
Zhang Meng also sat down next to the two of them with a wry smile, Uncle Cripple and they have been hiding themselves for more than ten years, I'm afraid that if they can tell themselves, they will tell them sooner, and now they can only wait for them to come back to their senses.
Zhang Meng even noticed that Chen Cripple's five fingers were trembling.
"Uncle Cripple is scared? What was he afraid of? ”
Zhang Meng couldn't help but be a little afraid, Chen Cripple debuted at the age of sixteen, carried a gun, dug graves, and mixed in the northern tomb robbery world for dozens of years, even if he met jackals, tigers and leopards, he probably wouldn't blink his eyes, what made him so afraid.
"Uncle Cripple, you must tell me what happened in Lop Nur, I don't want to hide it from you like a fool......"
Zhang Meng stared at Chen Cripple and said solemnly.
He really couldn't stand it, especially since this matter was also related to the cause of his father's death, Zhang Meng's heart was uncomfortable at the moment, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Ah Meng, let's stop here, this is your uncle's death order!" Chen Cripple shook his head and said.
"For all these years, you've been saying that it's for my own good not to let me know, but have you ever respected my feelings?" You know how terrified I was when I heard that I only had to live to be twenty-three? ”
"Although my uncle was very kind to me, I have been living in their lies for so many years. I want to know the truth, even if I die as soon as I find out, because I don't want to be an idiot for the rest of my life! ”
"I'm grown up, I have the right to pursue what I want to know, I don't need you to protect me, even if you don't say it, I must find out about it!"
Zhang Meng shouted loudly.
At this moment, the emotions he had suppressed for more than ten years were completely released.
"That's it, Master Hong, he is for your good, but he forgot, children will grow up......"
Chen Cripple and the sick ghost all stared at Zhang Meng in a daze, as if they were meeting Zhang Meng for the first time.
They had never seen Zhang Meng release his inner feelings so wantonly.
After being silent for a moment, Chen Cripple said lightly: "This matter is actually not a secret, and the guys who got out of Lop Nur back then know it." At that time, we were strong and strong, with talents from all walks of life, and we had the support from above, and we also innovated the most powerful batch of weapons, all Type 56 automatic rifles, and Jiefang brand trucks. Judging from the lineup alone, even when we encounter a regiment of regular troops, we are confident that we will compare and compare, but we have just stepped into Lop Nur, and strange things have happened one after another......"
"In the Peacock River, our people fell one after another, and each one who fell had a fatal wound on his body."
"Some people's hearts burst when they sleep, and next to them, are experienced veterans on guard, in this world, there is no one who can quietly approach our three battalions!"
"In just one day, our seemingly huge team is close to collapse, if it weren't for your uncle's strong suppression, I'm afraid the casualties would be even worse."
Zhang Meng nodded, what people are most afraid of is facing some unknown and invisible things.
"Actually, it's no wonder those people. Have any of you ever seen a man walking and suddenly being dragged down by something in the sand? Who of you has ever seen that the brothers in the tent had a collective fever, and the fever finally subsided, only to find something protruding from their chests, and when they unfastened their clothes, they saw that they were human faces growing in flesh! ”
"All kinds of unbelievable things, and in the end, even we had a nervous breakdown. In Lop Nur, everyone scrambled for their lives, but in this way, our people died faster, but fortunately, several of our old guys were at the peak of their skills back then, so they escaped. But despite this, I still have a lame leg, and the little matchmaker is also buried in the sea of sand......"
"Uncle Cripple, was someone attacking?"
Zhang Meng said that he felt impossible. You must know that the team back then brought together almost all the elites of the Northern Sect Tomb Robbery World, and what else could annihilate them except the devil?
"Hehe, you don't need to know that. After we came out, we faced a rebellion from above, and the monk fought to the death to save our lives. Decades of struggle were almost ruined overnight, and Hong Ye suddenly seemed to be ten years old, and he took our brothers back to Hong Kong in tears, but on the way, we received a letter from the Ye family. ”
Chen lame paused and said: "There is a piece of information attached to it, which is to describe the fact that a large number of sand people attacked the Hui people in Xinjiang back then. Although the news has been repeatedly blocked, there are more and more people in the sand, and in the end, it has reached the point where it is out of control, and the entire Lop Nur in Xinjiang has almost become a dead prison, with no grass to live. Even a mechanized infantry division of the People's Liberation Army was forced to retreat hundreds of miles. Even after the collapse of the defensive line, the officers and men of a certain unit that had been stationed there sacrificed en masse in order to cover the retreat of the large army, and the entire unit disappeared from the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang Army Division......"
"And then?"
Zhang Meng's head buzzed, and he suddenly remembered a piece of news, a little incredulous.
"Then you should also know that at that time, the government suddenly restarted the nuclear program that had been shelved for more than ten years, and frequently tested atomic bombs, and the shooting range was all selected in Lop Nur in Xinjiang without exception! The meaning of this is very suspicious, it is obvious that it contains a shocking secret, and the big man does not want this secret to be exposed, nor does he want to cause panic in society, so he can only use the most advanced weapons of mankind to eliminate those sand people. In terms of intelligence, the words 'living dead', 'sandworms', and 'cell replication' have been mentioned almost more than once, so I was so excited when I saw that thing just now. ”
Chen's cripple voice became lower and lower, as if his mood was a little heavy because he recalled the past.
