Chapter Forty-Eight: Parting Ways

I put my hand under Monsoon's nose and tried it, but I was no longer breathing.

If I come alone in search of the "chessboard", if I don't change my mind halfway, then, the monsoon will stay in the camp and will not die.

I killed her!

I followed the example of the movie, put my hands on top of each other, put them on her chest, and pressed them hard, and tears "snapped" and fell.

I pressed it for a long time and she didn't react.

I put it on her mouth and gave her artificial respiration, but she still didn't respond.

Finally, I sat down on the sand and yelled like a shrew: "Your sister ××××! (Editor's omitted 46 words)"

No one came out.

I continued to scold: "Your ××××! (Editor's omitted 127 words)"

Still no one came out.

I then scolded: "Your grandmother's sister and your sister's grandmother's ××××!" (Editor's omitted 53 words)"

No one showed their heads.

I looked at Monsoon, and she was still serene.

Usually, Monsoon controls me and doesn't let me swear.

I won't scold anymore.

It occurred to me that I was going to change the words I had changed and make the navigator fail, so that we would go back to that time cycle and repeat it......

At this point, I am faced with two difficult choices, or rather, I am faced with two futures-

First, the monsoon dies and we leave Lop Nur.

Second, the monsoon did not die and we continued to be trapped in Lop Nur.

I choose the second option.

However, if we go back to that barracks again, and everything starts again, and I can't remember all these things today, I will go towards the Big Dipper, and I will see the Mournful Slope, and everyone will fight each other, and then I will go to the "chessboard", and the monsoon will follow me, and I will let her stay in the camp......

I can't care so much, even if I keep repeating this day in the future, then let it keep repeating, every time I repeat, Monsoon will kiss me, I think it's quite happy.

Hopefully, in any reincarnation, I can see those circles on the body of the car and remind me of these things that will happen later, then I will lead the team to turn around, turn away from the Big Dipper, and drive in the opposite direction......

Thinking of this, I immediately returned to the earthen platform that was suspected of being "chess pieces", climbed up, and began to change the characters.

The speed of restoration was much faster, and it took me more than 1 hour to change those words to their original appearance - wood, earth, water, fire, and metal.

When I finished changing the last word, I listened to the pocket. It had a navigator in its pocket, and it didn't move.

I took it out and looked at it, the screen was black, and I made it!

I climbed down from the dirt platform, found Monsoon again, picked her up, and walked in the direction we parked, muttering, "Monsoon, don't worry, I'll take you back to the beginning, and we'll start all over again......"

When I drove back to camp, it was just getting dark.

Linghushan was the first to run over.

I stopped the car, he opened the door, saw Monsoon lying in the back seat, a little vigilant, and asked in a low voice, "She...... What's wrong? ”

I said, "She's dead." ”

Ling Hushan was stunned for a moment, he leaned on Monsoon's chest and listened, and then asked me with a trembling voice: "Who did it?" ”

I said, "Your people. ”

Ling Hushan suddenly turned around and left.

I shouted, "Why are you going?" ”

He ignored me and rushed into the depths of the desert.

I jumped out of the car, caught up with him in a 100-meter sprint, and stood in front of him: "Where are you going!" ”

He said viciously: "I, go home!" ”

I said, "Listen to me!" ”

He said, "What did you say? She's dead! ”

I said, "Do you want her to come back to life?" ”

His eyes suddenly became weak, revealing doubts and longing: "What do you say......"

I said, "Let's leave this place and continue walking towards the Big Dipper, most likely back to that old barracks, and then, the monsoon will be resurrected, Jiang Mengxi will be resurrected, and everything will start again!" ”

He muttered, "Big brother, you're crazy......"

I said, "Come with me!" ”

I dragged Linghushan back to my car, and Zhou Zhidan came over and asked, "Mr. Zhou, didn't you get anything?" ”

I said, "No." ”

Zhou Zhidan was a little disappointed.

It seems that the people in the camp did not know that the equipment in the car had ever been restored.

Zhou Zhidan said again: "It's dark, shall we go?" ”

I said, "You talk to everybody, in 10 minutes." ”

He said, "Yes. ”

After he left, I found the circle marks on the body and pointed it out to Ling Hushan: "I found that ours has been repeating today, I may have noticed it, so I left these circle marks, you see......"

Ling Hushan looked at it, his eyes full of suspicion.

I said, "If we keep going and go back to the beginning of the day, I wish I could remember, then, I will go in the opposite direction, and the monsoon will not die." I hope you can remember it and support me. ”

Linghushan listened to it as if falling into a fog.

However, when a person's closest person dies, he will unconsciously believe in miracles.

I said, "I don't think you understand, but anyway, you just listen to me." ”

Linghushan said, "What now? ”

I said, "Go." ”

No one noticed that the monsoon was dead.

Everyone pulled out their tents, got into the car, and continued on their way.

I'm still at the forefront. Linghushan hugged the monsoon in the back seat and didn't say a word.

It was dark, but it was still hot.

I have a bad imagination - usually, Monsoon loves to be clean, and every time she stands in front of me, I smell a faint fragrance.

If, I'm mistaken, we didn't go back to that old barracks, then how long will the monsoon's corpse rot and stink?

Thinking of this, my heart hurt so hard that I quickly didn't want to.

Looking at the Big Dipper again, I feel that it looks so sinister......

I put my phone next to me and picked it up from time to time to take a look. If I'm not mistaken, we'll start repeating at midnight.

10:10 a.m.

10:55 a.m.

11:35 a.m.

11:40 a.m.

11:52 a.m.

11:55 a.m.

11:57 a.m.

11:58 a.m.

11:59 a.m.

Zero!

We left the old barracks and continued our march towards the Big Dipper.

The hard salt crust rises and falls, and the off-road vehicle sways from side to side.

Ji Feng said: "Boss Zhou, I'll open it." ”

I said, "You can't." ”

Monsoon said, "Look at you haven't spoken, you look very tired." ”

I said, "Not tired." ”

Monsoon said, "Then what are you worried about?" ”

I said, "Nothing to worry about. ”

I'm not worried about anything, I always feel like there's something left undone.

What is it?

Shouldn't you let that fake Linghu Mountain run away?

No.

When you left the old barracks, you forgot to refuel your car?

No.

What is there to give an account of the monsoon?

No......

I really can't think about it, I don't want to, I have to concentrate on driving, the road conditions are so bad, if I get trapped, it will affect the speed of the whole convoy.

The Big Dipper appears to be much brighter than usual.

After driving a little way, I still feel that there is something very important in my heart that I must do......

Ji Feng said again: "Boss Zhou, you have to rest for a while, I'll open it!" ”

I said, "You have no experience in driving at night, in case a big hole suddenly appears in front of you and you fall, we all fall to our deaths." ”

Ji Feng said: "A horse Pingchuan, where did the big pit come from." ”

My heart shrank, and I suddenly realized that I seemed to have said something similar, and when I did, I regretted it very much......

I thought hard, I seem to have had a distant dream, I took the monsoon to look for the "chessboard", I found it, I climbed up to change the word, the monsoon wanted to replace me, I said: just your body, after going up, in case of heat stroke, dizziness, falling, don't fall to death......

I suddenly hit the brakes.

Both people in the back were hit.

Monsoon said, "I'm going to drive?" ”

I ignored her, grabbed my flashlight, jumped out of the car, and searched around my body, finally seeing the circle markings. I seem to remember, the monsoon is dead!

No, I'm going to turn the car around and drive in the opposite direction!

I'm calling everyone down.

Zhou Zhidan asked, "Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with your car?" ”

I said, "We can't go towards the Big Dipper anymore!" ”

Bai Xinxin said: "What are you doing! You came up with this idea, everyone agreed, and now that you are going well, you have changed your mind again? So where do you say you're going! ”

I said, "U-turn and go in the opposite direction." ”

Zhou Zhidan calmly asked me, "Why?" ”

I said, "If we keep going, we'll go back to the old barracks!" ”

Bubu said, "How do you know? ”

I thought for a moment and said, "I want you to believe me." ”

Bubu said, "I didn't say I didn't believe you?" But you're going to tell us, how do you know? ”

I said, "We've fallen into a time loop and we're going to keep repeating today." ”

Bai Xinxin laughed.

The others looked at each other and didn't speak.

Bubu asked in a low voice, "Boss Zhou, how long have you not rested?" ”

I said, "You don't have to doubt me, my brain is clear." If we keep walking, we will reach a sandy slope, and then everyone will start killing each other, Bai Xinxin will kill Jiang Mengxi......"

Jiang Mengxi looked at Bai Xinxin next to him in a daze.

Bai Xinxin said: "Writer Zhou, don't curse us, okay?" ”

I said, "That's the way it is. It wasn't until after dark that we continued on our way and returned to the old barracks...... I don't know how many times we repeated it, but I once noticed it, leaving marks on the car. ”

With that, I led everyone to my car and looked at the circle scratches.

Bubu asked Monsoon, "You rented this car?" ”

Monsoon said, "Yes." ”

Bubu said: "When you rented it, were there any of these scratches? ”

Monsoon shook his head and said, "I didn't have it when I inspected the car." ”

Bubu looked at Zhou Zhidan, and Zhou Zhidan kept observing my expression.

Bubu turned to everyone and said, "I'm sure I won't go back, you all express your willingness to go with him, raise your hand." ”

Zhou Zhidan didn't raise his hand.

Meng Xiaoshuai and Wu Min did not raise their hands.

Huang Xi and Guo Mei did not raise their hands.

Bai Xinxin and Jiang Mengxi did not raise their hands.

Zhang Hui didn't raise his hand.

Wei Zao didn't raise his hand.

Monsoon and Linghushan looked at me stunned, and neither raised their hands.

I looked at Linghu Mountain and said helplessly: "I told you, if we go back to the beginning, you have to support me......"

Ling Hushan couldn't understand what I was talking about.

Bubu said to me: "Boss Zhou, everyone chooses to move forward, what about you?" ”

I said, "I'm heading back." ”

Bubu said, "Well, we'll have to go our separate ways." ”

I said, "Give me 10 minutes, I want to talk to Monsoon." ”

Bubu said, "No problem, we'll wait for you." ”

I called Monsoon into the car, closed the door, and said to her, "Are you really going with them?" ”

Monsoon said, "No, I'll go with you." ”
