Chapter Twenty-Three: A Strange Smile
Looking at the black paw in my hand, my uncle was speechless and stunned.
And so I continued to watch their convoy, passing me over and over again, passing and passing by.
And then stop again, again someone goes missing, and again keep going.
But the person who disappeared this time was not Xiao Shaanbei, but another person.
Time continues, the east is white, watch the sunrise in the desert, you will find that the sun will jump, up and down, one moment peeking out of the sand dunes, and the other disappearing from the sand dunes, like a naughty child.
The orange-red sun has dyed the whole east red, and with this vast desert, I should have praised the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, but I feel that this red is a little bright, a bit like blood.
The appearance of sunlight, like the lights of a car, drives away the darkness and turns into light.
I watched the convoy, driven forward little by little by the sun, and finally disappeared at the end of the horizon.
I sat on the floor, not knowing what I was going through.
One night, mad, and tired, I saw some low bushes in the distance, so I ran over and broke some bushes, warmed a box of luncheon meat, ate a little water, put my sheepskin coat over the bushes to block the sun, and I myself rested under the bushes.
When I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly sat up because I thought of a hidden danger.
It occurred to me that there seemed to be rattlesnakes in the desert, and if a rattlesnake had given me a mouthful, wouldn't it be dead.
I didn't dare to sleep, so I sat up and prepared to go.
I smiled bitterly again, because I remembered again that rattlesnakes only appear in the deserts of North America, here is China, here is Taklamakan , not only will there be no rattlesnakes, not even snakes.
I had just laid down to fall asleep, and I sat up again, because I thought that there were no snakes, but there were tentacle monsters.
So what to do? Shouldn't you sleep?
Wouldn't you be sleepy if you don't sleep?
"Forget it! Never mind! It doesn't matter! "I fell down again, because I thought of one more thing, I'm an alien, who am I afraid of, as long as it is a creature, I have to be afraid of Lao Tzu's blood.
So I lay down and fell asleep, and when I woke up it was already afternoon, I ate something, drank some water, and continued on my way.
The old way, look at the sand dunes to find directions, and keep walking.
It's still an endless desert, nothing, the occasional small bush appears, I dug underground, the sand below is wet, but you have to dig more than a meter deep, and it's impossible to find water.
I have seen a lot of dead poplars, but I haven't seen a single living one.
I walked all the way to the west for about three hours, and it began to get dark again, and the fire in the west burned the clouds, and even put it
The desert is burning, red and red, and there is a word called the remnant sun like blood.
It's really aptly described, and it reminds me of watching the sunrise before.
The sunrise is like blood, and the sunset is like blood.
It gave me a very bad feeling, and I was vaguely afraid that it would be dark, because I was afraid that after dark, I would encounter what happened last night.
It's still cloudy today, you can't see anything, there's no moon and no stars. For the first few hours, nothing had changed, but at about nine o'clock, as I sat down resting on a dry poplar tree, a familiar scene appeared.
The convoy appeared again, passed me again, and after a few times, I entered the superpower state of bullet time, and saw Zhang Guoqing again, he still looked at me, still showing a weird smile at me.
This smile is so strange that it makes me feel uncomfortable.
I was thinking, he couldn't see me, so he couldn't see me at all.
I remember what he seemed to write in his diary, probably as if he had seen some monster.
Why do I say like, probably, because I didn't bring the diary, there were too many satchels at the time, and I forgot about it in order to hold food, water, and a flashlight.
In retrospect, it seems like I said I saw monsters.
Then he can't see me, which means that he is looking at something else, and everything else is only a monster, but shouldn't he be afraid when he sees a monster? Why do you have a weird smile?
This makes me wonder, and I have another doubt.
I had guessed that I was in a different plane from them, that they were in the past, and that I was in the present.
They can't see me because on the timeline, I'm their future.
And I can see them because they are in the timeline, in the past.
The past can be seen, but the future cannot be seen.
Another puzzle I have is, if we really appeared in the same place, but in different timelines, why could I meet them, and I also attacked the tentacle monster that attacked the northern part of Shaanxi, not only did the attack succeed, but even left behind evidence, why?
It really gave me no clue, my head was almost blowing up, and watching them go back and forth in front of me over and over again, repeating the previous movements, really made me collapse.
I don't remember the first time they passed by, they showed up almost every ten minutes.
As long as I pay attention, I can always see Zhang Guoqing looking at me with a weird smile.
So I decided, I'm going to get out of here, I'm not going here, you're going back and forth, I'm not going this way, I'm not going west, I'm going to be going, I'm going to be distancing, you can't follow me on.
I grabbed the flashlight and headed north, and as I walked, the light of the flashlight dimmed and dimmed, and I knew it was the battery gone.
I took the TV out, bit it, deflated the battery, put it in the flashlight again, and it brightened again.
This is the way we used batteries when we were children, when the battery ran out of power, we would bite it, or put it in the sun to bask in the sun, and the power would recover a little.
But this will not last long, and it will not be used a few times, and after a long time, the power will be completely gone.
The battery of the flashlight will not be completely discharged, because as long as it shines and cannot achieve the effect of lighting, I have to replace the battery, otherwise it will be dark.
I changed the battery once, and I changed the light bulb once, and now I should know why I brought all the flashlights in the first place.
In the past, although the quality was good, it was not so good that it would not be bad.
The bulb of the flashlight is easy to break.
Once it's broken, you don't have to replace it, and it's useless to bring more batteries.
As I walked, it was pitch black again, and the light bulb was broken again.
I tossed the broken bulb back into my bag, pulled out a new one, and turned it on before I could push the switch.
A really dazzling yellow light came from behind me.
Through the sound and the bright lights of the headlights, I can be sure that this is Zhang Guoqing's team.
At this point, I can already be sure that this convoy is actually following me, and I am the heavens, and they will drive past me in the sky.
Watching the convoy drive past me again, I saw Zhang Guoqing still smiling at me.
Again, I still saw Zhang Guoqing smiling.
So I thought, "I should have seen a monster on this National Day, but he kept smiling at me weirdly, doesn't it mean that there is something in my place?" Or to put it bluntly, I have monsters behind my back. ”
Thinking of such a result, I was not calm in an instant, I couldn't help but look back continuously, suddenly looked back, quietly looked back, took out the dagger as a mirror to look at, and saw nothing.
I suspect I'm getting nervous, but I firmly believe that Zhang Guoqing won't keep staring at me for no reason, so I'm ready to do it again, this time to see if there's anything behind me.
So I started waiting, waiting for the convoy to pass me over and over again, and I looked for an opportunity to get into bullet time again, and when the convoy passed me for the tenth time, and I didn't know for the ninth, I finally got into bullet time.
The moment Zhang Guoqing looked at me, I turned around suddenly.
As a result, I saw more than a dozen black tentacles behind me, with teeth and claws, as if they were about to pounce on me.
