Chapter 37: Can We Guess Where the Child Lives......
The whole of Lop Nur began to shake, and the terrifying sound from the ground became louder and louder, as if a giant monster was arching upward.
Several women screamed.
There was an earthquake, it must have been an earthquake!
I shouted, "Get down!" Get down! "Thrown out again, hit the RV, "bang". Turning her head, she saw that the pulp had already been thrown over, and she was leaning against the car tightly, her eyes full of horror.
I tried to catch her, but I couldn't. I shouted, "Get out of here!" ”
Pulp asked, "Why?" I can't move! ”
As long as the RV rolls over on its side in an earthquake, we become patties. I couldn't say it so clearly, and only shouted two words: "Overturned!" ”
It dawned on her and she began to climb towards the front of the car to grab the bumper.
This silly girl! If the RV had rolled forward in an earthquake, she would have been crushed to death.
I didn't have time to speak, I struggled to my feet, staggered behind her, grabbed her hand, and dragged her to the clearing, and the earth shook violently again, and I threw myself on top of her.
I hugged her tightly, motionless, and the two of them were not easily tossed around.
Unexpectedly, a huge force threw us away again, and in the blink of an eye she was already lying a few meters away.
There was a muffled "click", and between me and the pulp, a crack cracked in the desert, and it grew bigger and bigger......
In that moment of emergency, a tweet I had written flashed through my head, and I said, "What would happen if I stood face to face with you and the earth suddenly split in half between us?"
The chasm between me and the pulp was like a big mouth, more than a meter wide.
There were a few people on my side, and there were a few people on her side, and I could only see the dance clearly, and she didn't lie down, sitting leaning over, her hands clutching the ground.
Through the dust, the pulp looked at me and cried, and at this time she did not forget to count me, and shouted: "Zhou Dedong! When it comes to life and death, you just get rid of me, don't you-"
I didn't know what to think, so I got up again, staggered a few steps, jumped over the big ditch, and threw myself at her.
I said, "It's all right! A moment passed! ”
She hugged me tightly.
The desert is like a mad bull, shaking its huge body again and again. I clung to the juice and didn't get separated.
From then on, I knew that when the end of the world came, we needed to catch someone if our loved ones and loved ones were not around.
Finally, Lop Nur stopped shaking, and the roar of the ground quickly receded, leaving only the big ditch on the desert, which was unfathomable.
I looked around, and the tent was staggering, all the vehicles were displaced, and there were deep scratches on the sand.
I patted Pulp on the head and smiled and said, "It's okay, I jumped over before the Earth split in half." ”
The juice didn't let go of me, and she cried even harder.
The date is April 27, 2013.
At 90°18'30" east longitude and 40°25'30" north latitude, an earthquake of at least magnitude 8 occurred. You may not see the news, just like we don't receive signals from the outside world.
Everyone got up, their hair and face covered with sand, and they talked in panic.
I said, "There's an earthquake." ”
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "What the hell is this place! ”
Bubu said, "Will there be aftershocks? ”
I said, "I'm not the Earthquake Bureau." ”
Bubu said, "Our group is so numb! Four Eyes has long felt it. ”
I said, "Come, and then talk about the hole." I looked at the juice and almost laughed, she had a baby face, but now she was covered with sand and tears, and she looked more like a dirty child. She didn't know it herself, so I held back my laughter and asked her, "Where is the death hole in the human body?" ”
Pulp said seriously: "There are many, there are 36 in total, distributed all over the body." However, they are not as godly as written in martial arts novels, and they require a lot of effort to be effective. For example, there is a ballad that says - Baihui will fall to the ground, and the tail will not return to his hometown. Zhangmen was hit, and nine out of ten people died. The sun and the dumb gate will surely see Hades. Broken spine without bones, died suddenly under the knee......"
As she spoke, she touched the top of my head: "This place is Baihui." Then, she actually grinned and hit me with her fist: "Did you fall to the ground?" ”
Then, she hit me continuously: "You're so good! ”
I pushed her away: "Stop playing!" ”
Bubu said: "It's useless to know the location of these acupuncture points, and we don't have the coordinates, so we can't find them at all." ”
I said, "Let me think about ...... again."
Outside the number raised his hand: "Boss Zhou, can I make a statement?" ”
I said, "You say." ”
He said, "He said he lived in the Death-Death Cave, I think it should be the Ancient-Ancient Tomb!" ”
My heart trembled.
It is very likely that the Death Cave is an ancient tomb!
Bubu also nodded: "Makes sense......"
I said, "Extra, you've made an important contribution." The child came and went freely in this ecstasy land, which could well be his home. The Gobi is a flat river, the summer is very hot, the wind and sand are big, and the residents live in the soil nest, where does this child live? There are ancient tombs in Lop Nur, which were probably occupied by him. ”
Bubu said, "What are we going to do? ”
I said, "Keep moving, see if we can avoid the magnetic field, see if we can hit any markers, and most importantly, we need to find the tomb." ”
"Don't go to that kind of place, it's too unlucky." ”
Meng Xiaoshuai was very excited: "I'll go, I'll go!" I love tombs! ”
Yi Wu also said: "Pulp, let's go on an adventure, how fun it is." ”
"If you meet a ghost blowing out the lamp, no one will come up with it." ”
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "If you don't want to go, don't go, don't curse everyone, okay?" ”
Pulp said, "Dear, come and seal my mouth, there are rubber strips on the car." ”
I said, "We don't know if we can find it yet, so don't fight." ”
Bubu said, "In which direction shall we look for it?" ”
I said, "Do we have direction?" ”
Next, everyone got up and started packing up their tents.
No one refuted my plan, and Bai Xinxin didn't say anything more.
Pulp and I had just put the tent away, and Yiwu ran over, and she said, "Boss Zhou, I lost something......"
I asked, "What is it?" ”
She said, "My sleeping pills." ”
I said, "What else?" ”
"The VCR is gone," she said. ”
I said, "Where are you?" ”
"It's in the box," she said. ”
I said, "It's unlocked?" ”
She said, "It's locked." ”
I immediately asked everyone, "Which of you has taken the Strip thing?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Then I said, "Look at what else you have lost?" ”
Everyone started looking through their luggage, and no one lost anything.
I'm already a little bit surprised.
I asked Dancer, "Do you have severe insomnia?" ”
She said: "It's been a good few days. ”
I said, "Then don't look for it." When you get out of Lop Nur, I'll give you a VCR, just like a gift from me. ”
Yiwu's eyes always showed a kind of melancholy, and after listening to my words, it was like a pile of ashes bursting into flames, and suddenly it lit up, she quickly lowered her head, covered her eyes with her eyelids, and whispered, "Thank you." ”
It took us half an hour to put away our tents and get into the car.
I let the number go and got into Meng Xiaoshuai's car. I think that Meng Xiaoshuai and Xu Erge are sitting in a car, plus the extra and four eyes, it must be very awkward. They can't continue to quarrel, and there's no room for peace.
Me and Juice are still at the forefront.
The convoy was following me, but I didn't really know where to go. In the direction of the center of the lake in the senses, no. It's not right in the direction that it feels like it's coming from.
I chose the direction of the sun.
Now, the sun is in the east, and I run to it. After noon, I turned my back on it.
As I drove, I said to Juice, "You should wash your face." ”
She slowly turned her face and said unreasonably, "Do you think I'm dirty?" Do I still have to wear makeup like Meng Xiaoshuai? ”
I said, "Look in the mirror yourself." ”
She opened the makeup mirror on her head and looked at it, and immediately shouted: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”
I said, "A child is beautiful and cute, and his face is cute when he cries." ”
She said, "Don't fool me! Where are the wet wipes? ”
I said, "It's hard to wipe off so much sand, so you can wash it with water." ”
She said, "Waste! ”
I said, "It's okay, use my water, I'll just drink less today." ”
She said, "To use your water is to use my water, and to use my water is to use your water!" There is no sense of teamwork. ”
With that, she found a wet tissue and carefully wiped it in front of the mirror.
The desert was still empty, and the car was jolting violently on the wave-shaped crust of salt. There was no sign of it.
Driving in such an environment, the eyes always can't help but look at the horizon, there may be two reasons, first, the sky is monotonous, the desert is monotonous, you will be tired after watching for a long time, and the horizon is the only place for your eyes to rest. Second, the subconscious mind is always looking forward to miracles, such as people, such as buildings.
I had read a lot of information about Lop Nur before I set out, and I began to recall the characteristics of the ancient tombs in the Western Regions.
I probably remember a lot of dead wood stakes, all erected in unison on the desert.
As far as the eye can see, it is bare.
By all indications, the child could not be alone, maybe there were many of them, men, women and children......
When did they enter Lop Nur?
Why have the expeditions never found them?
Does Pengamu's disappearance have anything to do with them?
If, they are human beings lost in Lop Nur, then, after meeting the crossing convoy, why not call for help and flee from this place?
Are they obsessed with here?
Are they isolated natives?
This place is a barren land, birds dare not cross it, rats are extinct, even if they live in ancient tombs, what do they eat? What to drink?
There may be gold and silver treasures and precious relics in the ancient tombs, but those things cannot be eaten or drunk, and they are useless in this desert.
They...... Is it human?
Not humans, what are they?
My head hurts when I think about it.
However, since the appearance of this child, although it is very strange, I am not so desperate.
Whether he is human or not, at least he is life, and I want to see life, even if he is hostile to humans and only wants to kill us. There is a struggle, and it is also a thing.
I am most afraid that there is nothing in this place except the salt crust, and that the 11 of us will be disoriented, like Yu Chunshun, and then starved to death, thirsty to death, sunburned, or buried by sandstorms.
Look at the navigator, it's still black.
The sun is up, and the inside of the car is heating up again.
If we can't get out, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and when it reaches 71°C, we will all turn into jerky.
I regret it very much, I should have chosen the fall crossing......
Pulp suddenly said, "What's that?" ”
I said, "Where?" ”
Her eyes widened and she pointed to the left front.
I followed her finger and was shocked to see that a man had appeared in the desert and was waving at our convoy!
