Chapter 4: The Secret of Humanoid Survival

The spoon said, this lake eats people!

I said, "Tell me, where is the big thing now?" ”

The spoon said, "Caught by the lake!" ”

I said, "What do you mean to be taken away by the lake!" ”

Spoon said: "Just now he went to the toilet with me, I saw the water in the lake churning, as if it was boiling, I didn't pay much attention, when we walked to the lake, the water suddenly crawled over, very fast!" When I looked back at him, he had been entangled in the water and dragged into the lake! ……”

I said, "Are you sure he was dragged down by the water, and not some monster in the water?" ”

The spoon said, "It's water!" It grabbed the big thing and retreated in a blink of an eye. The power was very great, and after I saw the big thing being dragged down, I grabbed the artemisia grass on both sides, and you see how thick and hard the artemisia grass was, and even the roots were pulled up, and I couldn't save him! ”

I said, "You mean, the water is suddenly rising?" ”

The spoon said, "It's not up!" It's climbing! If it rises, the water along the shore will overflow, and just now there is only a piece of water, which stretches out like tentacles to catch people......"

I said, "Tentacles? Monster tentacles? ”

The spoon said, "Why can't I tell you!" I'm just giving an analogy! That tentacle is water! ”

I seem to get it.

He's the cousin of the big thing, and he can't hurt the big thing.

Even if they are fraudsters and carry a large amount of cash, it is impossible to do a lot of harm in order to share the spoils with one less person. It can be seen that Dawu is just a driver, and they only need to give him a little labor fee, and there is no need to kill people.

Just now, the water outside was indeed abnormal.

It occurred to me that Monsoon had said that she had seen the lake crawl up to the tent.

Water kills.

This lake that crosses the earth is actually the biggest trap!

Mi Dou, Bai Sha, and Weiwei all felt that something was wrong and walked out of the tent. The juice also groped out of it.

I walked over with Spoon, and Spoon told me about something that was swallowed up by the lake.

Then, everybody looked at me.

I said, "Let's pack up our tent and go back 100 meters." ”

Spoon said, "Why don't you leave this hellish place?" ”

I said, "Where to go?" ”

The spoon said, "Let's go straight to the tomb." ”

I said, "They didn't take us in last time." At that time, we still had a shield, that is, they did not dare to kill us, and now we don't even have a shield, and if we go, it is likely that we will be sent to death. ”

Spoon said, "Then we shouldn't stay in this hellish place, it's too dangerous." ”

I said, "Our rescue should still be there, they are our only hope, we can't get too far from them." Also, I don't know what dragged the big thing, the black light blinded, and you shouldn't be so sure. It's very important that this lake can provide us with water when it's normal. For a long time, we drank water from the lake. ”

Weiwei said: "Listen to Mr. Zhou, there are salt crusts everywhere, and we don't have a better place to go." ”

Everyone stopped saying anything and began to pack up and move the camp.

After more than an hour, we re-pitched our tents 100 meters away, still three. And a simple sand pit was dug in the southwest direction to serve as a toilet, and a sapper shovel was placed next to it for burial. We parked two cars side by side in the northeast direction of the tent.

I piled up a few rocks at the rescuer's tent location.

When I got into the tent again, it was already early in the morning.

"Lop Nur has finally been revealed, and I feel like it's no longer hidden......"

I said, "That's better, I've wanted to see it for what it is." ”

"Now you believe my ears, don't you?" I heard a voice shouting – 'Free time now!'" ”

I said, "I'm kind of convinced." ”

"Do you remember?" Once the boy climbed out and played with us, and then suddenly a bell rang, and he hurried back to the lake. Now it's about starting to move freely......"

I said, "What's wrong with that?" ”

"It seems that someone controls the lake, the children!" ”

I said, "There's another reason I'm not leaving. ”

"What is the reason?" ”

I said, "I need those crying flowers." ”

"You can't go any further, what if the lake really kills people and drags you down?" ”

I said, "Even if the big thing is really eaten by the lake, it will be at night, and the yin qi will be heavy. And early in the morning, the sun is strong, and there will be no problem. ”

"I only see your treatment as a kind of spiritual sustenance, and I know it can't be useful, so don't risk it." ”

I said, "No, I believe that a miracle will happen." ”

I could never have imagined that before dawn, the monsoon would return!

At that time, Juice and I were about to lie down when a voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Can I come in?" ”

Pulp immediately shouted: "It's the monsoon!" ”

That's right, it's the monsoon. She wore a beige half-large trench coat and carried a shriveled backpack, and her face was haggard and dusty.

My nose was sour: "Monsoon...... How did you get back? ”

She didn't answer me, walked over to Juice, and hugged her all at once.

Pulp cried and said, "Monsoon, my eyes are out of sight!" ”

Ji Feng picked up her face and looked at it, then patted her shoulder lightly and said, "It's clean when you can't see it, don't cry." ”

Then, Monsoon turned his face to me and asked, "Why don't you go?" ”

I said, "No." ”

Monsoon frowned: "Why?" ”

I said, "The navigator is down again." ”

Pulp Juice said, "Monsoon, have you found Linghu Mountain?" ”

Monsoon said, "Found it." ”

Juice said, "He doesn't want you?" ”

Monsoon stroked the pulp's hair and didn't speak.

I said, "How do you know we're still here?" ”

Monsoon said, "I know from their mouths that they control almost every move you make. I've come back to tell you that he's coming to kill you......"

I said, "I've thought of it." ”

Monsoon said, "I shouldn't have told him that the demon was gone, and now, he has nothing to worry about." ”

I said, "I'll talk to him." ”

Monsoon shook his head and said, "It's useless, it's impossible for him to let anyone leave Lop Nur." This time I realized that Ling Hushan was a very murderous person, and it was not what we imagined it to be. ”

Pulp said, "Then you...... Do you want to go back? ”

Monsoon said: "Impossible, to die everyone die together." ”

I said, "When are they coming?" ”

Monsoon said, "I don't know. I don't think they're in a hurry, we're all in his cage. ”

After a pause, Monsoon said again: "This time, I also solved a big mystery, do you know what humanoids usually eat and drink?" ”

I stared at her and shook my head.

Monsoon said: "There is a dark river under Lop Nur. ”

One sentence made my mouth open!

I've always thought that humanoids are like rats, living in underground tombs, and like rats, they are constantly bringing food and water back from the outside world. I was wrong, they are self-sufficient!

Speaking of the Dark River, we have to mention the speculation of people 2,000 years ago.

In the pre-Qin period, Lop Nur was named "Size". In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of the pre-Qin Dynasty, there are many records of Lop Nur, saying: "The mountain of Buzhou...... Looking east at the sirling river, the reason why the river is diving is also". Buzhou Mountain is Kunlun Mountain, and the river is the Yellow River. Standing on Mount Kunlun, you can see Lop Nur to the east. At that time, it was believed that Lop Nur and the Yellow River were one water system, and Lop Nur was the source of the Yellow River.

In the "Historical Records: The Biography of Dawan", Lop Nur is called "Yanze".

In the Book of Han, Lop Nur is called "Puchanghai". "Hanshu Xicheng Biography" wrote: "Pu Changhai, a salt Ze also, went to Yumen, Yangguan more than 300 li, more than 300 li, its water pavilion, winter and summer do not increase or decrease, all think that sneaking underground, south out of the stone, for China river clouds. ”

Here, it is not only said that Lop Nur and the Yellow River are the same water system, but also that the water of Lop Nur dived underground and emerged from the Jishi Mountain in southwest Gansu Province to become the Yellow River.

Later, the Tarim River was cut off, which seems to negate this claim. But it is too early to assert that the Tarim River is completely unconnected with the Yellow River.

"Sneaking underground", of course, is the dark river.

Although the Tarim Basin is the driest region on the surface of China, geologists have found "underground reservoirs" in the northern part of the Tarim Basin and Lop Nur with the same capacity as the Three Gorges.

In addition, oil explorers have also found dark rivers in Lop Nur, and some people have even suggested that the altitude of Lop Nur is lower than sea level, and if the underground river between Lop Nur and the sea is found and it is connected, the seawater can be diverted to Lop Nur......

The surface of Lop Nur is so lifeless that no one even knows about the existence of humans.

They live in underground tombs, they find the Dark River, and they have the water to survive. In addition, the aquatic products in the river provide sufficient food.

In the ancient town of Ningchang in Wuxi County, Chongqing, there is an old man who built his house on an arch bridge and dug a dark estuary, and fish came out, which was hundreds of catties at a time......

In the past, most of the residents of the Lop Nur area were Uyghurs, who "did not grow grains, did not graze livestock, and only fished in small boats for food."

It seems that the class people retained the eating habits of the inhabitants of that time.

I'll just say, why are they so close to the lake we found, but they never fight or come to get water!

After dawn, as always, I went to the lake to pick wild chrysanthemums.

The lake is calm and there are no abnormalities.

I went back to the tent, and the monsoon and the juice were still asleep. I mashed the wild chrysanthemums, then woke up the juice and wiped her eyes.

I began to hope for a miracle.

Pulp was very cooperative, obediently lying in my arms, asking me to "treat" her, and did not speak.

When I was done, I went to the other two tents and called everyone together.

I told them the message that the monsoon had brought back.

Everyone was silent.

Bai Sha said, "You shouldn't have stopped me from killing them. Obviously, we and humanoids must be in a life-and-death relationship, and it is impossible to coexist peacefully. ”

I said, "I remind you that they don't know when they're coming, and we have to be ready." ”

Bai Sha continued his conversation: "I think that's good news. ”

I said, "What's so good?" ”

Bai Sha said: "We will take the Dark River and kill them all, and we will survive from then on." If we can't get out, we will continue to be humanoids. ”

I said, "We have a nail gun and a couple of sapper shovels." ”

Bai Sha said, "You also have an electric shocker. ”

I said, "yes, I also have a stunner." ”

The spoon said, "The nail gun is mine." ”

I said, "I know it's yours, I'm just talking about what weapons we have." ”

Spoon said: "I will not join you, I don't want to get into trouble, I just think about how to get out of Lop Nur." ”

With that, he looked at Midou, who nodded in agreement, and then looked at me with a pleading look.

I said, "I also want to leave Lop Nur, the problem is, if you want to leave, you have to solve the humanoid problem first." ”

The spoon shook his head resolutely and said, "We'll go right away." ”

I said, "Where are you going?" Even if you go in a straight line, that bit of gasoline is not enough to get out of Lop Nur, you must be trapped in the desert, what should you do then? ”

The spoon said: "The tree moves the dead and the dead talk, Midou and I must go to break through, maybe we can meet rescue." It's too dangerous to stay here, the humanoids are going to kill us, and the lake is eating people. ”

I said, "Don't you know?" Help is around here, and they can't help us! At present, we only have one way out - negotiate with Linghu Mountain, let him take us in temporarily, and then slowly figure out a way. ”

The spoon said, "Is it possible that he wants to kill us, but you want him to take us in?" We've decided, let's go. With that, he looked at Midou again.

Midou nodded and said, "I agree." ”

I looked at the white sand and Weiwei.

Bai Sha said to the spoon, "Let's go with you." ”

Weiwei said: "Baisha! Did you ask for my consent? ”

Spoon shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I won't pull any more extra people this time." ”

Midou lowered his head, avoiding the white sand and his slight eyes.

Bai Sha said, "Then you leave us with the nail gun." ”

The spoon said, "My new house with Midou has not been renovated yet, I must take it with me." ”

Bai Sha said, "Take it and go and decorate your tombs." ”

Before the humanoids could kill them, Spoon and Rice Bean really fled in a hurry.

They took away the nail guns.

However, before leaving, they redistributed the food, divided it into about seven, and left us with five.

I let them take two-thirds of the gas.

It was this morning that we heard the terrifying voice again: "Now it's free!" ”

Then, the wind blew and the plants by the lake began to have seizures like epilepsy, killing one of us......
