"Huh, did you run into us?"

Gu Chengzi and I looked at each other, never expecting that Mo Qingyan would run into us at that time.

"And then?" I asked worriedly.

Mo Qingyan smiled bitterly, sighed, and said to us helplessly.

"I recognize you, but I can't shout anymore, so I can only wave to you, but unfortunately, ......"

"It's a pity we didn't see it. Gu Chengzi scratched his head, and the expression on his face was very remorseful.

When Mo Qingyan saw us driving back, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He thought, if we also saw that chip, we would definitely go in which direction as soon as possible, how could we turn back?

At first, he thought he had seen a mirage, but seeing us was so real that he dispelled the idea.

At this time, he thought about it for a while, and realized that this was most likely a lazy trick.

He knelt down in the vast desert, and his heart was extremely conflicted:

What if he walked back and there was still no one at the transit station? These days, he only eats a mouthful of food and drinks a sip of water every day, and he can't hold on anymore.

What if you keep going forward, desperately walking, and in the end, you end up in the trap of laziness?

He had to gamble, with his life.

He ate all the dry food in one go, then threw away his backpack. He stuffed the little water bag he had left in his pocket, turned around, and walked in the direction of the transfer station.

However, by the third day, there was not a drop of water in his water bag. He had never felt so hopeless in his life.

He lay on the sand, unconscious, as if waiting for the judgment of Heaven.

"I thought to myself, God, just let me go, take me away. ”

However, God did not seem to be very happy when he heard his prayer. In a fit of rage, it rained a rare downpour.

Cool raindrops slapped down on his face, invaded every nerve in his body, and pulled him up from the abyss of his coma.

He woke up, and he couldn't believe it.

He quickly took off his clothes and made a rudimentary filter, allowing the rainwater to flow down his clothes and into the water bags.

In the blink of an eye, the water bag was full. But another problem followed.

The cold of the rain took away all the heat from his body.

His body, in the heavy rain, couldn't help but tremble. His body was no longer his own.

He covered himself with wet clothes, curled up in the sand, and passed out again.

And this time, he himself felt that it was time to reach the end of his life.

"Little girl, what I want to tell you is...... In the presence of nature, man is no different from that speck of dust. Our lives are but the most inconspicuous part of the world. ”

"Mo Qingyan ......"

I pressed one hand on his arm, trying to comfort him. But when I thought about what he said, I didn't know what to say.

I remembered the big avalanche I experienced with Gu Chengzi on the slope of the mountain that day. If we were a little less lucky, we wouldn't be able to see Mo Qingyan now.

He is right, human power is too small in the face of nature.

I don't know how long I lay in the sand, but when Mo Qingyan woke up again, it was already a sunny afternoon.

His clothes were dried by the blazing sun. And the few intelligent machines he was carrying on him started the protection program and temporarily stopped running because of the rain.

He laughed to the heavens again, and it seemed that it was at this moment that he understood what it meant to "collapse".

In this barren desert, there is no intelligent machinery, and there is no map to guide the way.

You say, where should he go?

Gu Chengzi and I listened to it and our hearts hung in our throats, both silently worried about him, and glad that he was here.

"I walked around in the desert, confused. ”

Even though he had experienced despair several times, he did not give up in the end. I don't know if God was moved by him, and actually sent him a person.

This man is the team leader named "Thin Man".

After the thin man fought with the lazy smart drone, the entire group was originally ten people, and in the end only he survived. After escaping from the battlefield, he was left alone and lurked in the direction of the transit station.

Mo Qingyan recognized the thin man at a glance, threw the machine in his hand, and followed. But at this time, the thin man just wanted to hurry back to the transfer station, and he didn't find Mo Qingyan who was observing him on the side.

Two people in the same situation, just miss it out like this.

But the appearance of the thin man is like sending charcoal in the snow for Mo Qingyan. He silently noted the direction in which the thin man walked, dragging his almost collapsed body, and walked forward step by step.

If what kept him from giving up before was his tenacious will, then what made him not give up now is real hope.

He was sure in his heart that Jiang Man and the others must be at the transit station now.

Over the next few days, he collapsed several times while walking. But his tenacious spirit eventually overcame his body and got back on his feet.

There is a saying that seems to go like this: the emperor pays off.

On the day he ran out of water again, he finally arrived at the transit station. He collapsed "happily" at the door, thinking to himself that it would be good if he got there, because someone would surely find him.

But he waited for a long, long time, and no one came out to meet him.

Unbeknownst to him, it was a rare day off at the transit station. Except for me and Gu Chengzi, everyone went to rest, and no one sat in front of the monitor, so no one found him.

This time, his spirit could no longer overcome his body. Even if he wanted to stand up, his body wouldn't allow it.

Therefore, he could only lie on the sand and crawl forward with his last breath. As he climbed, he laboriously swept away the sand.

Somewhere, he remembered, there was a hidden vent above the transfer station. He told himself that if he found that vent, someone might hear him.

He crawled and crawled, but he didn't expect to actually let him find the vent. He leaned on the vent and shouted inside.

But his throat had long since dried up to make a sound, and his so-called shout was nothing more than a faint moan.

He couldn't give up, he thought with the negative energy in his heart that there must be another way.

At this point, he remembered that the water bag in his pocket was already empty. He took it, reached into the vent, and with the last of his strength, slammed it on the wall of the vent.

“...... Bang......"

A "loud noise" came through the ventilation duct into the transfer station, and it was at that time that I was startled.

In order to make sure that someone really heard, he kept holding the water bag and kept knocking desperately. But in the end, his hands were no longer strong. The water bag slipped between his fingers and fell into the ventilation duct.

At this time, he couldn't hold on any longer. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a soft cry.

She said to him, "Go home." ”

He said to her, "Well, I can finally go home." ”

He gradually closed his eyes, and in a blur, he saw two figures swaying in front of him, one crouching in front of him.

He thought it was the black and white impermanence that had come to take him home

。 As soon as my heart was cold, I fell unconscious.

"Black and white impermanence?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's the ghost of the Netherworld who is responsible for picking up the souls of the dead. Gu Chengzi explained.

I still didn't understand, so he handed me the tablet again and showed me the black and white impermanence. When I looked at the two people in the photo, I was so frightened that my palms were sweating.

"Take it away, take it away, why is it so scary. ”

"Little girl," Mo Qingyan whispered, "thanks to you. ”

"Me?" I looked at him incredulously.

"I heard the city say, 'You heard the voice first.' ”

"I, I heard first, but ......"

"But!" Joan was still very cautious, he first consulted with me, and then told me to quickly call up the monitor, and we found you lying there. ”

Gu Chengzi snatched my words and told a story that was completely different from the truth.

"I ......"

I looked at Gu Chengzi in confusion, while he looked directly at me and winked at me.

Did he want to tell me through his eyes, that's what he told Mo Qingyan, so that I don't talk too much.

Since he said so, then I had no choice but to comprehend, and turned my head to Mo Qingyan and smiled.

"You don't have to thank me, it's thanks to Gu Chengzi, he broke the door of the passage, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get out. ”

"I see, thanks to the two of you. ”

Just then, there were two knocks at the door. Looking back, Qin Qin and Jiang Man were actually standing there.

"How not to let the patient rest a little longer. Jiang Man said.

"That's right, patients should get more rest. Diligent added.

When Mo Qingyan saw the two of them coming in, the expression on his face suddenly became much happier. You know, the two of them really have too many things to deal with, and even if he wants to see them, he has to wait for them to squeeze out time.

"Hardworking, little man. Mo Qingyan shouted softly.

"We've come to see you. They said in unison.

"Okay, great. He smiled heartily.

Gu Chengzi and I saw the protagonists enter, and quickly moved out of the way. But Qin Qin and Jiang Man did not let us retreat, but walked to the other side of the hospital bed.

"What are you talking to them?" Jiang Man asked.

"It's not a big deal, just tell them how I survived. ”

"Uncle Mo, how are you feeling?"

As soon as Mo Qingyan saw Diligence approaching, he raised his hand and held Diligence's hand tightly as if he were holding mine.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. ”

"Well, Uncle Mo, I'm back. ”

After a brief greeting, we were stopped by someone from the infirmary who said that it was time for the patient to rest.

I thought to myself, why is that person so confused, aren't we catching up?

But after thinking about it, Mo Qingyan should have been tired after saying so many things today. He was holding his body and telling us his story.

Truth be told, it's really time for him to rest.

Jiang Man and Qinqin were the first to walk out of the door, and Gu Chengzi and I followed them.

There was a question that kept circling in my mind, so I took the small basket and ran to Qinqin's side and asked him.

"Diligent, you just called Mo Qingyan 'Uncle Mo', so, how old is he......?

I just wanted to say "Lao Xu", but when I saw Jiang Man next to me, I quickly stopped my mouth.

"Uncle Mo, when my mother came back from the Tianshan Mountains, he was the one who rescued her. ”

"Huh, so long?"
