Chapter 41 Flowers

The three of us guarded Lao Wang's body until dawn, and I was very confused, because I really couldn't tell now whether it was right or wrong for us to come to Danmeng.

At this time, I felt a little itchy in the ankle of my right foot, and when I opened my pants and looked at it, my heart sank. I noticed that the mycelium-like brown hairs that had grown on my ankles seemed to grow a little more. This fine hair does not bring any excessive discomfort to the body for the time being, but it makes people feel disgusting and unbearable when they look at it. Perhaps it was the reason why Lao Wang "died" again, my mood was irritable, and it seemed that there was a fire in my chest all the time, so I took out a knife and scraped off the circle of fine hair on my ankle.

I had planned to take a look at the surface fault zone, to find a way to go, and to walk deeper, but as soon as the old king died, this idea was dispelled.

"What do we do next? Is it to go? Is it to stay? ”

"You can't go any further." I shook my head, Lao Wang's accident, in fact, it means that our situation is worrying, if we enter the surface fault zone, I may not be able to take care of myself, let alone protect Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten.

"So you've been waiting here?" Zhang Momo also shook his head: "If we keep waiting here and wait until the supplies are exhausted, what should we do, we can only go back, this trip, isn't it equivalent to coming in vain again?" ”

"However, if you go any further, there is a good chance that something will happen......"

I was talking to Zhang Momo, and Ning Kitten suddenly grabbed my arm and pointed ahead.

Following the direction of her finger, I saw something about ten meters in front of me, as if something was slowly arching out of the sand.

The dry sand was soft, and a swarthy thing arched out from below. I couldn't tell what it was for a while, but it felt like a seed was sprouting and growing.

In just one minute, this swarthy thing completely arched out of the sand, and immediately after, two more clusters of such things appeared two or three meters apart.

At this point, I can probably see what it is. It seemed to be a black flower, the petals gently stretched against the sand, and when several petals were fully stretched, it looked more like a flower.

My sight, along with my nerves, was suddenly stimulated, and the word "flower" that Lao Wang said before he died yesterday was like an electric current, spreading from my mind to my whole body.

Flowers, black flowers, in this basin desert where there are almost no creatures, the three black flowers look so dazzling, so bewitching.

"Don't move, don't move......" I picked up the shovel next to me and walked forward step by step, if there was any accident, I had to stand in front of the two women.

The distance of more than ten meters, at this moment, it seems that thousands of rivers and mountains, my steps are a little heavy, and the appearance of Lao Wang before his death keeps dangling in my head.

After walking about five or six meters away, I stopped, and the three black flowers in front of me bloomed quietly between the yellow sand, silently, but I always felt that there was an inexplicable potential crisis, and what was worse was that I didn't know where this crisis came from, and I didn't know when it would erupt.

"You guys step back, retreat a little......" I just want Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten to distance themselves a little and retreat to a safe place for the time being, looking back at them while talking.

But this time, my eyes immediately straightened.

The two of them stood six or seven meters behind me, because the three black flowers were more than ten meters in front of them, and their attention was all focused on that side. The moment I turned around, I saw the sand layer under the feet of Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten gently turning silently, and two huge black flowers emerged from the sand.

"Stand back! Hurry back! ”

When I shouted out in my voice, Zhang Momo may have sensed that something was wrong, she subconsciously lowered her head, and saw the two black flowers that had just come out of the sand under her feet. Her reaction was much faster than Ning Kitten, and before my words fell, Zhang Momo dragged Ning Kitten back and retreated.

Bang......

As soon as the two of them withdrew a step, the sand layer under their feet seemed to be empty in an instant, and a place about three or four meters in a radius collapsed, Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten were defenseless, and they didn't have time to make any extra movements, and they fell down with the collapsed sand pit.

The sand pit was not deep, but as soon as the people fell into it, the sand flowing on all sides was like a slightly undulating wave, drowning them. At the same time, the two black flowers scattered all at once, as if they had turned into flowing water, mixed in the sand, and wrapped Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten.

At this moment, I could vaguely see that it was not a flower, but a large black insect the size of a grain of millet. Although the bugs were small, they were so overwhelming that they covered the entire bunker. Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten were still struggling in the quicksand, but after this large piece of insects covered it, I only saw Ning Kitten's hand stretched out.

My mind seemed to be empty all of a sudden, and I rushed over desperately to get them out. I was only two or three meters away from the bunker, but as soon as I moved, the soft sand layer seemed to collapse, and my feet suddenly sank into the sand. Once a person falls into the quicksand, the more he struggles, the deeper he sinks. I could see countless small insects burrowing down the gently tumbling quicksand, and Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten had been completely swallowed by the sand.

At this time, I was almost crazy, and if there was anything more painful in this world than death, it was to watch my companions die and I could not do anything about it.

I couldn't help but want to pounce forward, but the more my body moved, the faster the sand flowed, and in a few breaths, both of my legs were buried in the sand.

I had to pause and climb up slowly, but luckily the quicksand wasn't that deep, and as soon as I slowed down, the tendency to sink was eased. It took me a lot of effort to climb out.

The sand pit in front of it was completely silent, and there was not a single movement in sight, and occasionally a small black worm like a grain of millet would emerge and enter the gap in the sand. My heart sank to the bottom, Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten were buried, if they were still alive, it would be impossible not to struggle.

"Momo! Kitten! "I lay completely flat on the edge of the bunker and pulled the sand with a shovel.

The two of them didn't sink deeply, and their clothes could be faintly seen, and the black insects the size of rice grains were almost all gone. I hooked Zhang Momo's belt with a shovel, then wrapped a rope around the shovel, stepped back a few meters, and pulled it upwards vigorously.

I dragged Zhang Momo out little by little, and when I dragged her up, I saw that her nose and mouth were flowing blood, her body was still warm, but the signs of life were gone, no breathing, no heartbeat.

I was anxious and dragged Ning Kitten back, she was the same as Zhang Momo, her face was covered with blood, and her breathing had already stopped.

According to the situation in front of him, it can be judged that Lao Wang was also killed by this kind of black worm, but Lao Wang should not have encountered many insects, plus his physique is very strong, and he crawled back so far with a breath. But Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten were almost directly drowned by the tide of insects, and the bad luck didn't give them much time, and not long after that, both of them died.

The strength of my body disappeared all at once, my backbone seemed to be suddenly pulled out, and the whole person sat on the ground with a soft butt. Although I have added ten thousand cautions, in this hellish basin desert, any accident comes so suddenly that I can't be prepared for it.

The three of them, still dead, sat for a while, Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten's bodies had begun to become cold and stiff, I carried them to the side of the tent and wiped the blood from their faces for them.

I was sad, heartbroken, but their death didn't make me hold back in any way. Death has happened, and I want to see what is going on in this so-called place of resurrection.

It is certain that during the first Danmeng trip, whether it was Lao Wang, Ning Xiaomei and Zhang Momo, their bodies after death were gone. I don't believe that the corpses move, there must be an external force affecting them.

I've completely calmed down, and if their death was inevitable, then death could also be an opportunity, an opportunity to see the truth.

I put the bodies of the three of them in one place, and slowly retreated backwards, taking off my coat as I retreated, sweeping away the footprints I had left on the sand. There was no shelter in the desert, and after I had withdrawn a long way, I dug a sand pit in the ground and buried my body in it, leaving only my head outside.

Looking in my direction, I could see the tent, and I put aside all distractions for a moment and watched intently. I want to see how their bodies disappear.

If my guess is correct, there will be a second resurrection, and only by observing it here will it be possible to know what this resurrection is all about.

I just lay quietly in place, motionless, I couldn't see my watch or mobile phone, and I didn't know how long it was, my body was almost numb, and it was getting late, and the sun was setting, leaving only a trace of afterglow.

I felt that if I continued to lie down like this, I would be in trouble when it got dark, because the temperature difference between day and night was so great that the sand at night would suck all the heat out of my body.

As I was considering whether to move a hiding place, several figures suddenly appeared in view.
