Chapter 49: The Secret of the Tomb of the Sun
Monsoon suddenly said, "She's coming with me."
I said, "But you didn't raise your hand." ”
Monsoon said, "I want you to change your mind. ”
I said, "You think I'm wrong too?" ”
Monsoon said, "Of course you are wrong to go back the way you came." ”
I said, "Well, since you chose to follow me, I won't say too much, I just want to say one thing to you - whether you think my choice is wrong or not, your choice is right." Go, get out of the car and say hello to them and we returned. ”
I got out of the car and said to everyone, "Monsoon, come with me." ”
Linghushan looked at the monsoon and suddenly said, "I'll go with the monsoon." ”
I was startled and quickly said, "No! ”
Ling Hushan said: "You don't let it? ”
I said, "After dawn, they will kill each other, and only you can stop them!" ”
Bai Xinxin said: "Don't make up horror stories, it's the same as the real thing!" Tell you, Linghushan loves to go with whomever he wants, we don't need him! ”
Ling Hushan said: "Boss Zhou, I tell you for sure, where is the monsoon and where I am. ”
If Linghushan wasn't on their team, then it would have changed what was going to happen today, and they wouldn't have come out of the infinite loop? Or will it be strewn all over the place?
I looked down and thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out.
I said, "I repeat, if you keep walking, you're going to get into a bad situation, and now it's the last chance to turn around." ”
Bubu said, "Boss Zhou, we won't go back anyway." ”
I looked at the others, and everyone was silent.
I said, "Well, I just want you to remember that after daybreak, you will approach a sandy slope, and you must get around it." ”
Bai Xinxin said: "Everyone is gone!" It's dawn in a moment! ”
After speaking, he took Jiang Mengxi into the RV.
Bubu said, "Boss Zhou, I'll give you something." ”
I drove the SUV next to the truck and loaded it with enough gas, food, and water.
When we parted, we hugged each other and said goodbye.
Meng Xiaoshuai actually cried, she hugged me hard, and said tremblingly: "Have a safe journey." ”
I said, "You too." ”
Wu Min shook my hand heavily: "If I have anything I didn't do well, you can bear with me." ”
I said, "Protect Xiaoshuai well." I hope you chase her down. ”
Wu Min whispered: "It is inevitable." ”
Zhang Hui hugged me and whispered, "I'm not by your side anymore, take care of yourself." ”
I said, "Take care." ”
Zhou Zhidan and I held hands and said with a smile: "When we all go out, don't forget to continue looking for the limbs of the earth!" ”
I smiled and said, "Definitely." ”
Bubu hugged me, and the circles under her eyes were wet: "You have worked hard for so many days......"
I said, "See you out!" ”
She nodded vigorously: "See you when you go out!" ”
Wei Zao held hands with me and said, "Boss Zhou, why don't you drive another car?" In case of a breakdown, it will be troublesome. ”
I said, "No, God willing." Thank you. ”
Huang Xi and I held hands: "Boss Zhou, have a good trip!" ”
I said, "When you go out, learn a few more harmonica songs." ”
He smiled: "I don't know how to read music. ”
Guo Mei hugged me the last: "Uncle, I will miss you very much!" ”
I said, "You're so beautiful." ”
Then Bubu and the others got into the car. Zhou Zhidan's car drove away, Huang Xi's car drove away, Bai Xinxin's RV drove away, Bubu's car drove away, Wei Zao's car drove away, and Wu Min's car drove away......
Four Eyes went with them.
The desert was boundless, it was pitch black, and their headlights were getting farther and smaller, as if they had delved into the depths of an unknowable fate, and finally they were out of sight......
We don't have any communication devices, and as long as we disappear from each other's sight, then we will never meet again.
My heart was filled with sorrow.
Now, it's just the three of us.
Monsoon said, "Just now, that Pavan looked at me from the car window, and his eyes were very cold......"
I said, "Maybe it's because we've broken some kind of certainty." ”
Monsoon said, "Where are we headed next?" ”
To be honest, what I'm doing at the moment is just to escape the death of the monsoon, and I don't know what to do next.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Let's go back to Yu Chunshun's cemetery first, and then continue to walk east." ”
Monsoon said, "Why not face west?" ”
I said, "To the west is the Taklamakan Desert, more than 300,000 square kilometers. ”
We returned the same way, and after dawn, we finally saw the tomb of Yu Chunshun.
Thankfully, it's a cloudy day and the heat is gone!
In fact, there is no point in us returning to Yu Chunshun's cemetery, this tombstone just makes people feel more at ease, it tells us that we are in reality.
The three of us hastily ate something, then set up a tent and planned to rest for an hour or two before continuing on our walk.
We couldn't sleep, leaning against the tent and talking.
Monsoon said: "I don't understand, how did Lop Nur, which was originally such a big lake, become such a terrifying piece of salt crust?" ”
I said: "The continuous influx of human beings into the west, the population on both sides of the Tarim River has surged, and water is needed for cultivated land and mining deposits, so people desperately ask for water from the Tarim River, blindly building reservoirs to intercept water, blindly digging embankments to divert water, blindly building pumping stations to pump water, just like countless vampires, finally draining the Tarim River." Lop Nur, cut off from water, immediately turned into a dead lake. ”
Monsoon said, "It's a human problem again!" ”
I said, "I have a guess......"
Monsoon and Linghu Mountain both looked at me.
I said, "Some of us have died, some of them are our own people, some of them are the work of the tomb people, and I don't know if the aliens and the children of the center of the earth are friendly or hostile to us." Anyway, every time a person dies, a flower carved from sand appears next to it, what do you think is going on? ”
Monsoon shook his head.
Ling Hushan also shook his head.
I said, "I feel like nature is punishing us." Nature, you love it, it is God. If you spoil it, it's a demon ......"
Monsoon and Linghu Mountain were silent.
After a long time, Monsoon said, "Boss Zhou, do you think the three of us can go out?" ”
I said, "I don't know." ”
Ji Feng looked at Linghu Mountain and said, "If we can't get out, I'll go home with you." ”
Ling Hushan shook his head and said, "You won't like my family." ”
Monsoon said, "Why? ”
Ling Hushan said for a long time: "For you, our way of life is terrifying......"
Monsoon said, "What kind of horror law? ”
This sentence touched Linghu Mountain's bottom line again, and he didn't explain.
Monsoon said, "Humans are too selfish to be nostalgic. Then, she looked at me and said, "Boss Zhou, if you are really cornered, you can go with me." ”
I said, "What kind of identity am I?" ”
Monsoon said, "My big brother." ”
I shook my head and said, "I'd rather die than live underground for the rest of my life." ”
Ling Hushan looked at me, his eyes were complicated.
I said to him, "Linghushan, since you don't know how to get out, how did you end up on the edge of Lop Nur before you joined the team?" ”
Linghushan said, "Someone sent me to that place. ”
I said, "Who?" ”
Linghushan said: "Our people. ”
I said, "That is, your people know how to get out?" ”
Linghushan said: "You know the Sun Tomb, right? The tomb is surrounded by wooden stakes that form seven circles, and beyond the circles are radiating rays that symbolize the rays of the sun. No one knew that there were many passages underground, which coincided with the radiation, and there was only one passage to exit the Ecstasy. ”
I said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" The Sun Tomb is in the west, so we should go west. ”
Ling Hushan shook his head: "I don't know which passage is right." ”
I said, "None of you know? ”
Linghushan said: "Only the oldest class knows that it is top secret, and only when they are dying, it will be passed on to the oldest class other than them." At that time, he was the one who sent me out. ”
I said, "Do you remember which passage you took?" ”
Linghushan said: "I am blindfolded! ”
I said, "Why did they do that?" ”
Linghushan said: "In order to prevent us from coveting the prosperity of mankind, betraying the race, and fleeing from Lop Nur. ”
I said, "Let's go and try." ”
Ling Hushan shook his head again: "As long as you make a mistake, you will definitely die." ”
I said, "Why do you have to die?" ”
Linghushan said: "Those passages are not set up by us. ”
I said, "Who's that?" ”
Ling Hushan said in a low voice: "Maybe it's a baby in the center of the earth, I'm not sure." ”
I gasped.
Ling Hushan continued: "We only know that we can only go right, not wrong. Also, even if I knew which passage was right, you wouldn't be able to get through......"
I said, "How?" ”
Linghushan said, "Only us humans can, because those passages are too deep and don't have the oxygen you humans need. ”
Monsoon looked at Linghu Mountain and his eyes widened: "You don't need oxygen?" ”
Ling Hushan felt that he had said the wrong thing, and he kept silent. It seems that he is very taboo to let Monsoon detect his difference.
Monsoon said again: "That is, we can only die here?" ”
I suddenly remembered that two of the three gas cylinders by the lake were duplicates.
I said, "We've got to try!" Let's go back to the lake first, there are gas cylinders! Then, you take us to the Sun Tomb and find a way to find that passage! ”
Linghu Shan seemed to hear something, and suddenly fell to the ground, his movements were very agile.
I looked at him and whispered, "Someone underground?" ”
Linghushan didn't speak.
Monsoon and I were both staring at him, and he suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent, and Monsoon and I went out with him.
We circled around the tent and saw the naked child again, standing in front of Yu Chunshun's tombstone, giggling at it......
