213. Disappear
Tang Brick covered his head and said, "I'm not a hero, don't be too exaggerated." ”
After that, things were relatively simple, everyone was arranging the fire net, and at the same time looking at Tang Brick with adoring eyes, even going to pee could cause a burst of amazement.
Tang Brick wanted to leave, but was forcibly pulled by Guo Ziming.
If you say yes, you will go and end up together, how can you run away by yourself!
There was no way, Tang Brick had to continue to stay here, waiting for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive before leaving.
Soon, night fell.
After a long day of fighting, everyone was already exhausted, and all except the soldiers in charge of the guard went to rest.
Tang Brick is the same, others consume physical strength and spirit, and he also has more aura. Although the exhaustion of spiritual energy will not bring much pain, it will be extremely uncomfortable psychologically, just like people who are accustomed to their own strength and suddenly become soft-footed shrimp.
There were a bunch of people lying in the tent, and it was obviously not a good idea to restore his aura here, so he deliberately ran to a place where no one was.
Considering the particularity of Tang Brick, neither the commander of the mobile team nor Guo Ziming stopped it. Others can't leave the team without permission, but Tang Brick can, this is the role of fame.
Sitting on a stone, Tang brick absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth. It's a very esoteric thing that can't be put into words.
In the second half of the night, the aura had recovered more than half, Tang Brick opened his eyes and looked at a figure not far away, frowning slightly.
The figure belonged to the girl in white, and she had been here for a long time.
At first, she seemed to be observing Tang Brick's cultivation, but then she stopped looking. Sit there and look at the sky, and don't leave or come.
After thinking about it, Tang Brick walked over, looked at the girl in white sitting on the grass, and asked, "Why don't you go to sleep?" ”
The girl in white did not answer this question, but still looked at the sky and said, "I heard them say that it feels so beautiful to see the stars again, why don't I think they are beautiful?" ”
Tang Brick looked at the stars in the sky, sprinkled all over the sky, and the stars were shining. People who are used to seeing it will naturally not be touched for no reason. And those who have experienced life and death, wandering around in front of the ghost gate, will feel good at anything.
The girl in white asked this question, so Tang Brick didn't know how to answer.
He squatted down, looked at the girl's near-perfect face, and suddenly asked, "Do you think you are beautiful?" ”
The girl in white turned her head to look at him, and after a while, replied, "Is there any difference between us?" ”
This answer is not quite like the answer, Tang Brick said: "Of course it is different. You're a woman, I'm a man. Regardless of appearance, body shape, and physiology, they are completely different. ”
"Aren't they all people? Just like stones, there are big and small, potholes, and bulges, but they are all stones. The girl in white said.
"This ...... It seems to make some sense. Tang Brick touched his nose.
Seeing that he seemed to be a little embarrassed, the girl in white suddenly laughed. She smiled very sweetly, so sweet that Tang Brick suddenly felt that it was a bit too much to suspect that she was a demon like Red Boy.
"I'm leaving." The girl in white said suddenly.
Tang Brick was stunned: "Where are you going?" ”
The girl in white tilted her head, as if to think about the answer to this question. She couldn't understand what it meant to kill her head on the side.
"Do you have a place to take me?" The girl in white asked.
Tang Brick shook his head: "No." ”
He is a gardener, and he doesn't have a house, so how can he be qualified to take people in. Besides, what is such a girl doing when she puts it away, as a vase.
"Then it's such a happy decision." The girl in white stood up with a grin.
"Huh? What was decided? "Tang Brick is a little confused.
The girl in white didn't say much to him, only smiled and waved her hand: "See you later, is that what you said?" ”
With that, she turned and walked towards the camp.
Tang Brick felt inexplicable and couldn't quite understand her thoughts. After a little hesitation, the girl in white had already disappeared.
Shaking his head, he didn't take it to heart anymore.
Early the next morning, Guo Ziming and Fu Liang ran over to find Tang Brick, and when they met, they shouted: "That girl is gone!" ”
"Who's missing?" Tang Brick was stunned.
"That's the girl you carried back!" Fu Liang said anxiously: "When I called her out to eat in the morning, I didn't see anyone, and I looked around the neighborhood, and I couldn't even see the shadow." ”
Tang Brick suddenly remembered that the girl in white seemed to have said that she was leaving at night. At that time, Tang Brick only thought that she was going back to the camp, but he didn't expect her to leave here.
Why go?
There seems to be only one possibility, and that is that she is not fit to continue to be with everyone.
Thinking of this, Tang Brick shook his head and said, "I don't know where she went, but it's okay to leave, worry-free." ”
Even though the girl in white never did anything bad, no matter Shu Biqiao's reminder or Tang Brick's own suspicions, he always had a vigilant attitude. The girl in white left, at least making him feel less awkward.
But Guo Ziming and others couldn't understand it, they still wanted to find the girl in white.
However, several people searched around, but they couldn't find anything, and the girl in white disappeared without a trace, and no one even knew how she left. Even when she came out yesterday, no one saw it. The soldier in charge of the guard didn't seem to have this person in his eyes.
The disappearance of a young girl has attracted the attention of the mobile team. It's just that before they could search with all their might, reinforcements arrived.
There are still many countries participating, and there are many other countries besides China and Nepal. Even from Europe and the United States, people came.
There are soldiers, and there are scholars.
These scholars are the same organization as the archaeological team that died in the mountains, and when Guo Ziming and others reported to them that the last survivor was missing, they were puzzled.
They do have women in their ranks, but they are at least over the age of 30, and there are no Asian women.
This news made Guo Ziming and others stunned for a long time.
There is no such person on the archaeological team?
Is the identity of the girl in white fake?
They were surprised, but Tang Brick took it for granted. It seems that I guessed correctly, the girl in white does have a problem.
Without dwelling on this topic too much, the reinforcements carried a lot of ammunition, and even the artillery was pulled.
There are bugs in the mountains, and they are terrifying, and if they are explored manually, there are likely to be a lot of casualties. Therefore, the idea of the multinational force is to first blow up the front with artillery shells and then say, step by step and steadily advance.
Scholars strongly objected, knowing that there were ancient ruins inside, and if they were blown up, there would be little point in going in.
However, their opposition was of little avail, and none of the troops wanted casualties among their own men. Their mission is to protect scholars, not to feed bugs with their lives.
And so, a barrage of bombardment began.
Tang Brick watched from afar as artillery and tanks bombarded the canyon, and incendiary bombs whizzed everywhere. There was a sea of fire, and the roasted people were hot.
It was a long time before the ravine was almost flattened and the shelling stopped.
However, as the multinational forces advanced inward, they found that the gray fog began to dissipate with the dust. Further on, there is a flat land, where are there any peaks and buildings?
Guo Ziming, Fu Liang, Zhu Jinrui, including Tang Brick, were all dumbfounded.
They had come down from the mountains before, so how could they not have it?
The river is still there, the raft is there, but the stones on the bank of the river are gone, empty.
The troops of other countries suspected that the information provided by Huaguo was false, but only the mobile team and scholars did not suspect it.
The former is based on trust in national personnel, while the latter has sufficiently detailed information.
"What's going on?" The commander of the mobile team asked.
Guo Ziming's face was bitter: "How do I know, do you want me to say that those mountain long legs ran away?" ”
The mountain peaks run away with long legs, and no one will believe such a thing, but other than that, there seems to be no other explanation.
On the way forward, everyone didn't find too many corpses of Gu worms. The previous bombing only blew up the canyon, and the bugs seemed to have left long ago.
"Brother Tang, why is this happening?" Fu Liang asked with a look of disbelief.
Tang Brick shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
He really didn't know why the insects and the mountain peaks disappeared, but he had a feeling in his heart that maybe it had something to do with the girl in white. She left last night, and the bug may not have been seen at that time, is there any connection between the two?
No one knows for sure, but this may be going to be an unsolved mystery.
After crossing the river, the people found that the altar of sacrifice mentioned in the information had also disappeared. A huge pit appeared in its place, proving that something once existed here.
The members of the unit did not feel anything to regret, but were a little happy. The intelligence says that bugs are terrible, and they don't want to fight these things for real time.
Only the scholars were so depressed that they were about to vomit blood.
It took so much manpower and material resources that dozens of members of the archaeological team died here alone. As a result, the true face of this ancient ruin can be revealed, and all previous efforts will be wasted.
What about playing?
You said it would have disappeared, and we wouldn't have come!
It's useless to jump and scold your mother. Looking at those scholars who desperately used swear words to relieve their emotions, Tang Brick sighed, he really had nothing to eat. Isn't it good to be alive? I have to come to trouble the bugs.
Although the ammunition carried by the troops was sufficient, Tang Brick still had an inexplicable intuition. If the troops really get involved with the bugs, it really doesn't have to be who loses and who wins.
Those bugs are not ordinary Gu worms.
At this point, the mission could almost be said to be a complete failure.
Even the corpses of those soldiers who died here could not be found, which made Guo Ziming and others very discouraged. They are not afraid of mission failure, and they don't feel that there is anything to regret about the insects disappearing, but the corpses of their comrades are gone, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Tang Brick patted Guo Ziming on the shoulder: "People die like lights go out, dust returns to dust, and dust returns to earth, there is nothing to pity." If there is a chance in the future, kill more insects and worship them. ”
