"What's the picture? What's interesting? I looked at the smile on the corner of Zhang Momo's mouth, as if it meant something else.

"See for yourself."

Zhang Momo handed over the photo, and the moment he borrowed the photo, I felt that this photo was a little familiar, and after looking at it again, his head buzzed a little bigger.

The content of this photo is very simple, there is only one person's upper body in it, and the photo is relatively blurry, but even so, I can still recognize it, this is my photo.

I have the impression that I remember that I did take such a photo a long time ago, and it was forced to be taken by a friend who had just started playing with the camera. My friend's skills were very poor, and the photos were blurry after they were washed out, so I didn't take them seriously, and then I didn't know where to put the photos and negatives.

"You knew this corpse before?" Zhang Momo looked at me holding the photo in a daze, and patted me: "I want to know now, what game are you playing?" ”

"I don't know, I really don't know." I knew that Zhang Momo might have a little suspicion, so I quickly explained, but I couldn't tell myself how the photo of me could be on this dried corpse.

Now, I can confirm 90 percent that this dried corpse is one of the members brought in by Hu Ritu's friend back then, and they entered the Danmeng Basin to find something. No one can say what they're looking for, but it's weird to come looking for something and have my picture with them.

A dead man with a picture of himself on his body makes people feel very unsure no matter how they think about it. More importantly, what is the origin of the dried corpse? Where did he get the picture of my place? Why did he put the photo on his body and enter Danmeng?

I certainly couldn't find the answers to these questions, however, I felt like there was no turning back, and no matter what happened, I had to move on.

"If you don't know him, then he certainly doesn't know you either, they don't know each other, but he has a picture of you on him." Zhang Momo spread his hands: "Isn't it strange?" ”

"It's weird, but I don't really know what's going on."

"There must be a reason for that...... I believe he ......" Ning Xiaomei had tears on her face and said behind Zhang Momo: "Sister Momo, I believe he won't harm us......"

"I didn't say I suspected him anything." Zhang Momo restrained the expression on his face, looked at the dried corpse, and then looked at me: "What should I do next." ”

"You and the kitten go back the same way, and I'll go inside by myself, now the situation has changed, and Lao Wang has had an accident." I made up my mind that no matter how evil things were, I would try to find out in a way that would get to the bottom of them.

Needless to say, if the dry corpse really entered one of the members of Danmeng's team five years ago, it means that five years ago, although I didn't know anything, I was actually involved in this incident. For me, five years have passed quietly, and it is only now that some things have happened one after another that I can't accept or understand, which may mean that what should have erupted has begun to erupt.

"It's not appropriate for the two of us to go back."

"I'm fine, I can do it alone."

"Don't think about it, I'm not worried about whether you can do it alone, I'm worried about my own life." Zhang Momo unceremoniously interrupted me: "Didn't the old man surnamed Liu tell you when he called, if we don't take this road, we will all die." Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, then you can only fight. ”

I didn't say anything more, Zhang Momo rarely speaks, but she is an assertive person, if she decides, then I guess she can't be persuaded.

It was still late at night, but none of the three of us could sleep. I searched the surrounding sand again along the spot where I found the dried body, but found nothing else. Lao Wang's body was still lying quietly under the blanket, and I didn't want to leave him, but the road ahead was long, and I couldn't take his body with me.

I found a suitable place at the base of the wall, and put Wang's body here temporarily, and if we are lucky enough to come back, then I will definitely bring him home.

When we were done with all this, it was just dawn and we packed up the camp and took everything we could. The team of four people suddenly lost one, which made our hearts very heavy, and even Ning Kitten stopped talking. I still didn't want this atmosphere to bother the two of them, so I deliberately talked to the kitten, and after a whole day, Ning Xiaocun got a little better.

As I had thought, the Danmeng Basin had been inhabited by many people in the past, and when we reached the afternoon of the next day, we saw the ruins and ruins buried by the wind and sand.

The preservation here is better than the old town I have encountered before, in addition to the ruined city walls, you can see the collapsed houses, and the thick logs that can no longer be distinguished. We didn't know where to find Old Man Liu, so we had to try our luck, so the three of us slowly walked around the ruins for half a circle.

In the northeast corner of the ruins, we found a large pool. The most important thing to survive in a place like Danmeng is the water source, near the old city, there must have been surface water in the past, and in order to facilitate the use of water, there must be at least one reservoir here.

The cistern is large and filled with a lot of sand, but in the middle of the cistern, there is a small hole that looks like a wellhead, and the diameter of the small hole is about two meters. Since there were no other clues, anything worth noting, I lowered my body and slowly slid down the slope-like sand until I reached the small hole.

"What is this? Is there still water here? ”

As soon as I got closer, I heard a faint sound of water, and a small hole about two meters in diameter was tumbling with black splashes.

"It's all black water, what kind of water is this?" Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten followed behind me, and at the same time saw the gurgling water in the small hole. This small hole is like a deep bottomless old well, the scorching sun and dust of the desert have not swallowed it, and until now, the hole is still rippling with a black water like ink.

There was a slight smell of black water, and I stopped when I was still two or three meters away from the small hole. I'm very jealous of this kind of narrow and deep hole, and I feel that if I fall into it, I will be ruined.

According to my analysis, this small hole was previously at the bottom of the cistern, and when I peeled the sand next to the small hole, I could see that there were stone slabs put together one by one. On the slate, there are very abstract patterns, which look like characters, but I don't recognize any of them.

I took out my phone and slowly cleaned the sand next to the small hole while taking pictures of the patterns and characters on the slate. I don't know these words, but if I can go back to Huayang, I can go to the uncle of Blind San'er to identify them.

I was taking pictures, Zhang Momo also took out his mobile phone to take pictures, the stone slabs near the small cave are all this kind of characters, but far away from the small cave, the flowing sand can't be cleaned up, we can only give up.

"Where can this hole lead?" Ning Kitten squatted next to the small hole while we were taking pictures, paddling the black water with a folding shovel: "Shall we go down and have a look?" ”

"Pull it down." I hurried to Lanin Kitten.

But this pull, I couldn't pull her, Ning Kitten shook off my hand with a backhand, and the strength was a little scary. I was afraid that she would fall if she wasn't careful, so I grabbed her by the arm.

"Can I go down and have a look?" Ning Kitten didn't struggle this time, and asked me without looking back: "Just take a look." ”

I don't know why, my heart suddenly began to panic, the entire Danmeng Basin was cut off from surface water many years ago, and it stands to reason that we can't find a drop of surface water.

However, this little hole subverts common sense, I don't know how deep the small hole is, and I don't know where the small hole leads, and what is rolling in the small hole is a terrible black water, but it is also water after all.

"Kitten, let's go up, it's getting late, we have to find a suitable campsite." The more I looked, the more panicked I felt, and I pulled Ning Kitten hard, trying to pull her back.

"Take another look, take another look......" Ning kitten was pulled by me with one hand, covering her eyes with the other hand, letting her gaze shine through her fingers, and cast it on the slightly tumbling and undulating water: "I saw it...... There are people in there ......"

"Who?" As I spoke, I poured all my strength into my two arms, kicked the stone slab by the wellhead with both feet, and leaned back with all my strength to drag Ning Kitten.

"Like...... It seems to be a girl...... "Ning Xiaomei doesn't know where she got such a lot of strength, I have used all my strength, but her feet seem to have taken root on the ground, and she continues to cover her eyes with one hand, and whispers: "She is very beautiful and young, but ...... She only has one ear and her left ear is cut off......"
