Chapter 33: "Obedient Water"
Tang Shao took his loot and sneaked out of the room. There is still a bonfire party going on on on the beach. Later, from Xiao Qi, Tang Shao knew that there was a bonfire party here all year round, but because women were a scarce commodity on the island, the biggest pleasure of the party was to drink, eat barbecue, and smoke marijuana.
βheiοΌβ I don't know where the grass pit suddenly popped out, and two black boys stopped Tang Shao directly. Seeing Tang Shao stop, one of the little men began to speak in an unknown Chinese language. After listening for a while, Tang Shao searched all the languages he knew in his brain, and finally returned to China, finally understood some words, and was basically sure that the other party should speak Chinese, but the accent was too heavy and he drank too much wine, so he vaguely said the effect of a foreign language.
Because he didn't want to entangle with them, Tang Shao chattered and softened the languages of the world into a ball, anyway, he just wanted to get through the trick quickly. But the two boys had obviously experienced this kind of communication across languages many times, and seeing that Tang Shao's smile was not lethal, they took Tang Shao's arm very familiarly, and handed over a thin and short cigarette.
Although he has never smoked marijuana, Tang Shao has also seen it in the movie, and this kind of packaged cigarette roll must be marijuana. Tang Shao hurriedly pushed out, signaling that he was not good at this. Just as Tang Shao was busy dealing with this kid, the other person had already taken out a syringe from Tang Shao's pocket. He squinted drunken eyes for a moment, but didn't see any clues. He shook it at the other person.
The other person was a little annoyed that Tang Shao had rejected his "kindness", but when he saw the syringe, he suddenly understood something, and gave Tang Shao a smile of "brother understands".
The two of them began to study the syringe again in a whistling voice.
The black boy understood, and Tang Shao also understood after a moment of confusion. They think of themselves as the masters of playing high-end goods. They must have thought there were drugs in that syringe!
But by the time Tang Shao came back to his senses, it was already too late.
One kid had already injected half of the potion, and the other kid was scrambling to pull the syringe out of the kid's arm. Inadvertently, seeing Tang Shaozheng looking at them with a serious face, the kid simply gave Tang Shao a scoundrel smile, and quickly injected the remaining half of the potion into his arm.
"How are you feeling?" Tang Shao asked a little apprehensively, his hands had begun to tremble slightly due to nervousness.
The two of them should have understood Tang Shao's words, but they would have misunderstood Tang Shao's original intention. They also thought that the other party was asking themselves euphemistically, "Are you cool?" Although they didn't feel anything, the two of them made up their minds that "after all, it's a high-end product, it will definitely be very cool", so they smiled vigorously and nodded vigorously.
Suddenly, the movements of the two stopped, the smile was fixed on the faces of the two people as if frozen, and the half-nodded head stopped as if it had stepped on the brakes.
Tang Shao was taken aback by their sudden change. After a while, calming down his frightened mood, he gently said, "Hey? "Yes.
However, there was no reaction from the two men, but the smiles on their faces had begun to slowly melt like ice. As the smile faded, the bodies of the two men began to tense, and then they lay upright on the beach like two corpses.
"Hey!" Tang Shao called out tentatively again.
This time, the two of them actually replied in unison:
"Huh?" But his eyes are still looking straight at the sky, like zombies.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already experienced a lot of bloody scenes, Tang Shao would probably be scared to death.
"Are you alright?"
"Nope." The two men replied mechanically, but the stiff bodies and straight eyes were not okay no matter how you looked at them.
"You two ......" Tang Shao hesitated for a moment, feeling that his request was a bit excessive, but finally continued: "Can you two stand up?" β
"Yes."
As soon as the words fell, the two corpse-like bodies actually began to bend their knees, bend their arms, and brace their upper bodies straight with their elbows, and then lean forward and support the ground with their hands to help them stand up straight. The movements are fluid, but they are extremely mechanical.
"It's not going to be a zombie, is it?" Tang Shao muttered to himself, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit.
"You take two steps."
The two "corpses" actually took two steps in unison. Fortunately, it was walking instead of jumping, which made Tang Shao feel a little relieved.
"Don't move."
"Okay!" replied again in unison.
Tang Shao cautiously approached the two people, and then touched the faces of the two people first, warm and warm, and there was no sign of stiffness. Then Tang Shao put his hand under the noses of the two people again, and his breath was very steady; In the end, Tang Shao put his hand on the chests of the two people, and his heart beat steadily and powerfully!
After some research, Tang Shao suddenly thought of a very evil drug "obedient water". In order to confirm his thoughts, Tang Shao had another evil idea, so he ordered: "Stuff your fingers into your nostrils." β
The two of them did so without hesitation, and if Tang Shao hadn't stopped it in time, they seemed to have a tendency to poke their noses.
"Go back to sleep." Tang Shao ordered.
The two of them straightened up, and fell directly to the ground on their backs like two logs, and then there was a "whirring" snoring sound.
Tang Shao began to rejoice that the medicine was snatched by themselves, and he didn't need to bear any moral condemnation.
After figuring out the effect of the medicine, Tang Shao couldn't help but feel worried, his father wouldn't be in the business of human trafficking, right?
This night, Tang Shao continued the habit of insomnia when he had nothing to do. At two o'clock in the second half of the night, Tang Shao finally fell asleep. Then Tang Shao continued the habit of dreaming when he went to bed at night.
The dream began with a rickety figure who followed him through a dark, deserted corridor, then turned through a few well-guarded doors, and the two entered an empty warehouse. Near the door of the warehouse, there was a large canvas covering an object, which should have been square.
The man called the general folded his hands behind his back and closed his eyes to feel it. At the same time as a black square space appeared in his mind, another feeling of emptiness came at the same time, and he immediately withdrew his thoughts, and after a long time of relieving his spirit, he ordered: "Okay, you go out, take your people through the sixteenth passage, enter the bottom compartment of the ninth ship, and be careful not to be seen by the people of the Elders' House." β
The rickety old man bowed slightly, then withdrew, and locked the heavy iron door tightly.
Darkness fell again, and Tang Shao instinctively wanted to find other exits from the warehouse, whether there was a window in that area. Not to mention that it was in a dream, even if Tang Shao analyzed it rationally, how could it be in such pure darkness
There will be other exits.
However, the general did not panic at all, he closed his eyes again, trying to block out the feeling of the vast universe, leaving only a glimmer of perception to find the direction of the black box.
Feeling the hard stone wall, the general pulled out a round sign from his chest and slowly approached. In his thoughts, a square outline flashed on the black box, and then the general raised his hand and nudged it, and a door appeared.
The general walked through the door, his brain deliberately empty, but it was very difficult. Suddenly, the shape of a spaceship appeared in his mind, and the spaceship remained in his mind for only a moment, and then immediately changed into the appearance of a room, which was small and gray and silver.
Then, the general's brain was empty again, leaving only a trace of his mind to feel the direction of the door. Raise your hand and push the door, and walk out of the black box again.
Tang Shao didn't know why, so he could only follow his own thoughts and follow the general in and out. In his dreams, he felt that he was a general more than himself.
The line of sight was clear again, and the slightly blue light was not dazzling, but the scene in front of me had changed to a different appearance. The gray silver walls and the small warehouses were exactly what had just appeared in the general's brain.
The sight was empty, and it was clear that there was nothing. But just as the general closed his eyes again, the black box appeared in his mind. The general raised his hand and touched it, and the hard touch was also very real.
Perhaps because he had completed a mental matter, the general gasped slightly, slowly relaxing his nervous brain. But this relaxation did not last long, and he hurried out the door. As the corridor turned, the general walked briskly out of the hatch of a ship and returned from the bridge to the high lookout. But he didn't bother to pay attention to the ships, but instead looked into the corridors deep, looking through them.
From time to time, he would pull the soldiers who were hurrying by, and nervously asked, "Is Madame here?" After receiving a negative answer, he asked, "Is Seymour back?" β
The soldier shook his head.
Suddenly, a swaying shadow appeared in the corridor in the distance, standing out among those with their heads held high. He hurried forward to chase after him, holding on to the soldier who was about to fall. Grabbing the soldier's hand, he felt a viscous touch, and the general looked down to see that the soldier's hands were already covered in blood. The soldier's hands were strained, but they did not move much. He kept his head down, as if deliberately avoiding the other soldiers who were hurrying by.
"What about Seymour?"
The soldier looked up slightly, his pale face giving a sense of unease.
"Captain...... He's dead! The soldier said weakly, and at the same time his hand pressed down the general's fuss: "Yes...... It was the people of the House of Elders who did it. β
A sense of foreboding rose in the general's heart, and he asked anxiously and carefully, "What about Madame?" β
"The entire convoy was blown up ......"
It's still the same messy airport, but this time it's a lot quieter. Aircraft continued to take off from the airport until only a lone spaceship remained.
"General, it's time for us to go!" I don't know how many times someone has reminded him, but he is still looking at the protective shield that is about to burst not far away with a pair of red eyes that have endured tears without tears, and his eyes are already empty. Later, when someone from the House of Elders dragged him into the ship, his huge body was like dead flesh.
The dream was simple, and the time didn't seem to be long, but the grief that went deep into the bone marrow tormented Tang Shao for the rest of the night.
