The moment I saw Old Man Liu, the whole person seemed to be about to explode. The deaths of Lao Wang, Ning Xiaomei, and Zhang Momo were completely caused by entering the Danmeng Basin, if it weren't for Old Man Liu, perhaps, they would still be alive and well.

I was so angry that I almost forgot that I couldn't move one leg for the time being, and I forgot that I was so far away from Old Man Liu, and in my anger, I even wanted to jump down.

Old man Liu maintained the same hunched posture as he did in the nightmare, rolling his eyelids and looking up at me.

But in just a few seconds, Old Man Liu turned around and left, and disappeared into the criss-crossing cracks in the blink of an eye.

"Stand !!" I shouted, and as soon as I moved, I touched my swollen right foot, which was so swollen that I almost lost consciousness, like a piece of wood, but it was this numb feeling that woke me up from my anger.

I saw Old Man Liu, and I'm sure I'm not dreaming, but what can I do now? Even if I have a good leg, I will definitely not be able to catch up with him.

After the extreme anger, there was a deep powerlessness, feeling like a waste, looking at the corpse of his companion, looking at the old man Liu who dragged us to death, but there was nothing he could do.

I can't catch up with Old Man Liu, and I can't even save Zhang Momo's body. I lay on the road for a long time, and finally I gradually came to my senses.

I can't die, I must not die, I must survive, if I am willful and die in Danmeng, then the team of four people will be wiped out, and everyone will die worthless.

After Old Man Liu disappeared at the bottom of the rift, everything seemed to be calm, and he couldn't hear any sound. I'll have to go back to camp, get some supplies, and then get my swollen right foot back to work.

I glanced at Zhang Momo again, she was in her same position, lying in a bloodstain soaked in sand, and I vividly remembered the last smile she left me.

I couldn't walk upright, so I crawled forward on my stomach, and the remaining 100-odd meters was like a chasm, and it took almost all my physical strength to climb over.

As Zhang Momo said, after crossing this dense rift zone, the road is much easier, at least there is no need to worry about falling into the rift. I kept crawling, as if I had become a lizard in the desert Gobi, very slow and difficult. But I made up my mind to do my best to live, at least not to let this incident annihilate those three dead companions in the vast Danmeng Basin.

I can't remember the passage of time, and when I didn't have the strength to climb until I didn't have the strength, I lay down and rested, and then continued to climb. I don't know how far I climbed, and finally I saw the rope that hung down when Zhang Momo went deep into the cliff. We purchased climbing ropes, two 50-meter ropes connected together, strong enough. I lay on my stomach under the rope for a long time, and when I felt that my strength had regained somewhat, I raised my hand to grab the rope and began to climb towards it.

It would be impossible to understand my current mood and situation without someone who has been through this, and I don't know how I survived, limping on one leg and climbing from the valley to the top.

There's still a long way to go, and I have to crawl back to camp. The food in the backpack had been eaten, and there was less than half a pot of clean water left, so I continued to climb on the way back. Now that this situation is no longer in place, I must return to the camp sooner to have any hope of survival.

It took me two days to climb near the camp, but a sand ditch only about three meters deep stopped me, and this sand ditch, which I usually climbed up without much effort, wasted most of the night, until the sky was slightly bright, and I climbed to the tent.

At this time, I was already at the end of my crossbow, and I had to hold on to it with one breath, and when I saw the tent, I felt like I was in a different world.

Streaming down......

I was about to climb over and eat and drink some water when I heard a slight rustling sound from the other side of the tent. I couldn't see what was going on on the other side of the tent, but I thought it was a sound that only a human could hear. Although I couldn't stand up, I still subconsciously held the knife at my waist.

The sound of the thud was gone, replaced by the sound of very light footsteps, and there were indeed people behind the tent, and there was more than one, and the other party must have flanked both sides of the tent.

I had no way back but to draw my knife and deal with someone who might come up at any time. I didn't make any sound, and the other party's footsteps were very soft, and they were so stalemate for a while, that the people behind the tent probably couldn't hold their breath.

On the left and right sides of the tent, half of the person's body leaned out at the same time, and the sky was about to dawn, and the moment these two people appeared, my hand holding the knife shook suddenly, and my eyes were completely stunned as if they had been shocked.

I saw Lao Wang and Zhang Momo each poking their heads out from behind the tent, and behind Zhang Momo, they were followed by Ning Xiaomei. Zhang Momo was holding a knife in his hand, Lao Wang was holding a stone, and Ning Xiaomei was holding a folding shovel tightly with both hands, and the three of them were very nervous, as if they were facing a big enemy.

At this time, my eyes and my brain seemed to fall into a violent dizziness, and I could not forget the hardships I had experienced to crawl back to the camp from that rift in the surface, and the time of three days and two nights would not have been a dream. But my eyes were not mistaken, the people who appeared from behind the tent were indeed Lao Wang, Zhang Momo, and Ning Xiaomei.

"It's Chengfeng!! It's Chengfeng!! ”

I saw them, they saw me, Lao Wang shouted, and quickly dropped the stone in his hand and ran towards me, Ning Xiaomei and Zhang Momo were also relieved.

"I said, brother, where have you been? The next time you go out, can you say hello, you're going to kill us. Wang rushed to me and tried to reach out and pull me up, but I couldn't stand steadily, and Wang soon noticed that one of my legs was injured: "What's wrong?" Injured? Does it matter? ”

"Hurry up, help him over." Ning Kitten also hurriedly came over to help, and the two of them took one of my arms and helped me to the front of the tent.

I couldn't say a word because I couldn't accept what I was seeing. The three of them acted as if nothing had happened, checking on my leg injury and looking for medicine from my backpack.

I had to wonder if I had fallen into a hallucination again, or if I had a long, long dream. Taking advantage of the fact that Lao Wang and Ning kitten were busy, I secretly stabbed my fingertips with a knife.

My finger was immediately punctured, and it hurt so much that I gently sucked the blood drops oozing from my fingertips, and my heart turned upside down, and I couldn't calm down anymore.

Whether it is Lao Wang, Ning Xiaomei, or Zhang Momo, they all died under my nose, I know the process of their death, and I have seen their corpses. But how do I convince myself to accept what I'm seeing?

I even had the idea that someone disguised themselves as Lao Wang, and I secretly observed them for a long time, and the actions of the three of them did not have any flaws.

"Why is this foot so swollen?" Lao Wang frowned slightly: "I can't even walk the road." ”

"Next time, don't go it alone." Ning Xiaomei persuaded: "What is the matter, you can discuss it with everyone, aren't we all in the same boat now?" Do you know that you ran out alone, and we're worried. ”

"We don't have enough supplies, so we'll discuss what to do when we find you." Zhang Momo stood beside him, habitually holding his arms, with no extra expression on his face: "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"If you don't have enough supplies, you can only go back temporarily......" I steadied myself and said, "You can't live without enough water in this place......"

"That's what we think too." Ning Kitten looked at my swollen feet with a concerned tone: "Your feet are also so swollen, go back first." ”

Lao Wang went to get breakfast, leaving Ning Kitten here to take care of me, my brain was really insufficient, because no matter how I observed, I couldn't see anything wrong with these three people. Ning Kitten is the most innocent, I know her very well, I deliberately led her to speak, she was the same as usual, chattering non-stop.

But what I could tell was that she didn't seem to remember the death of the old king, nor the cistern in the ruins of the ancient city.

After breakfast, we packed up our things and started walking back. I found an opportunity to chat with Lao Wang and Zhang Momo respectively, who, like Ning Kitten, don't remember the death of their companions.

In such a situation, I have nothing to do for the time being.

Our supplies were indeed very tight, the four of us were frugal, and there was still a gap in the provisions, but on the way back, everything was very calm, so we saved some time, and after a day of water and food cuts, we returned to the entrance of the Danmeng Basin.

"It's so far, why don't I think we went so far when we came in?" Ning kitten touched her stomach: "I'm about to be hungry." ”

"I also think that the way back is so far." Lao Wang hurriedly echoed: "Momo, did you say?" ”

Zhang Momo ignored Lao Wang as usual, Lao Wang was used to it and didn't feel embarrassed.

Hu Ritu is really a particular person, so many days have passed, he is still waiting outside, you know, it is actually very difficult for a person to wait in this kind of desert.

Hu Ritu was very happy to see the four of us come out safe and sound, and took something to give us to eat. I feel a little uneasy in my heart, Lao Wang and the three of them are standing in front of me alive, I can only accept this fact, but one thing, I can basically be sure, they should be missing part of their memories, especially after entering Danmeng, the loss is very serious.

In addition, the injury on my foot also made me a little flustered, this is probably not the swelling caused by ordinary trauma, it has been so many days, and my right foot is still very swollen, and it is not good at all.

For various reasons, I suggest that the four of them return to Huayang first, and the foot injury should be treated, and at the same time, there are still some problems that need to be sorted out calmly and slowly.
