Chapter 336: Instant Death
Those time-traveling novels are all fake, and the real time-traveling are completely different things, Lao Huang is still very calm, and continues to speak: "Even if it really crosses, we can't get out with our current resources, it will take five days to get to Kurgan, will there be a place like Kurgan in the Qin Dynasty?" No, we will die in the desert if we can't reach the border of the Qin Dynasty. ”
I didn't expect Lao Huang to think so carefully, and the despair in my heart spread again, and it took a long time before I spoke: "There will be no such thing as crossing, right?" ”
"Well, I don't think it's realistic, so let's find someone first, you can find me, and we can also find others, it's possible inside and outside the building, or it's far away, since it's evil inside, let's find the outside first." Lao Huang said as he took out the gun from his crossbody bag and loaded the bullet.
He was much calmer than me, and I followed Lao Huang out of the square and walked towards the house not far away.
These buildings are well preserved, each house is five or six meters high, the highest one is twenty meters high, like a dormant evil ghost in the dark, the surroundings are too quiet, there is not even the sound of the wind, only the subtle footsteps and breathing of the two of us, Lao Huang holds the gun and bends slightly with a vigilant face, from time to time to turn around to look, his eyes are sharp, a field style, even with me nervous.
The houses here are all thick stone walls with small windows, the windows are not blocked, and they are all open-air, and when we turned to the front of the nearest house, we found that these houses did not even have doors.
There was a soft yellow sand under my feet, and there was not much sound when I walked up, and the ancient city was so dead and silent that there was not a glimmer of light, and I was sure that the houses really had no doors, and not rotten.
The houses were neatly arranged, I remember the direction I came, these houses, like the main hall, were facing north, and we walked cautiously past a few houses, and there was no sound to hear, and there seemed to be no inhabitants.
The scorpion-tailed man in the main hall has been dead for a long time, are the residents here also dead? Seeing that there was another house in front of him, Lao Huang made a gesture to me, indicating that he would go in and have a look.
I nodded, only to see him walking by the waist of the cat against the wall, and quickly jumped to the door of a house, I held up the flashlight and looked in, only to see that there were stone tables and chairs inside, all of them were still new, but there was no one.
I followed Lao Huang into the house, touched a stone table casually, and there was a layer of dust on my hands, this place has indeed been deserted for a long time, perhaps because there is no wind, there are no traces of weathering.
Lao Huang walked to the back room, just arrived at the door and immediately took a step back, startled me, he quickly settled down and walked in, I followed him in, only to see three black corpses sitting around a stone table, Lao Huang touched it with the muzzle of the gun, their clothes turned into powder, fell in a swoop, obviously dead for a long time, but their muscles were intact, but they lost water and shrunk into mummies, the same as the scorpion tail corpse in the main hall.
The flashlight was really scary at first glance, my breath stagnated, and soon returned to normal, after all, even more terrifying things have been seen, a few dried corpses are really nothing, looking at their demeanor, they have a bit of a living appearance, no expression of panic and pain, the body sits casually, and the demeanor is also very leisurely.
"Lao Huang, don't you think they seem to die suddenly, there is no pain, just a moment." I whispered.
Lao Huang nodded: "Yes." ”
The house was large, and there were rooms in it, and we walked around the three dried corpses, which was a bedroom, and there was also a dried corpse lying on the stone bed, and the posture was equally comfortable.
I was puzzled, why did these people die suddenly, when the buildings and appliances were very new? Not buried by a sandstorm, there were no signs of damage, I held up a flashlight and looked at the dried corpses carefully, there were no injuries on their bodies, they died peacefully, but it was because of this peace that it seemed very strange.
What happened to this ancient city? What kind of space are we in? I was getting more and more confused, and after searching the house, I followed Lao Huang into the few houses I had just passed by to take a look, one of them was empty, and the other were all the same dried corpses.
These people died too peacefully, in all their forms but leisurely, as if they were doing the most ordinary things, without fright, without pain, and were snatched away in an instant.
They are not as tall as four or five meters in the mural, they are just ordinary people, and it makes me wonder if the scorpion-tailed corpse in the main hall is real, but unfortunately I was frightened when I first woke up, and I didn't look at it carefully, but now I am suspicious.
"These people look like they've been dead for thousands of years, their clothes are rotten, why hasn't the building changed at all?" Lao Huang muttered in a low voice, his eyes full of puzzlement.
"What now? Do we have to go from room to room? "It doesn't look like a living creature here, and my voice isn't so careful.
"Look, what can you do if you don't watch? Actually, I would like to go to that palace even more. Lao Huang said.
I hesitated for a moment, I ran away because I was the only one, but now that I am accompanied by Lao Huang, I am not so afraid, so I nodded and said: "Then go, if there is really something hidden here, it must be in there, if Uncle Yuan and they are also in this ghost place, they should go in." ”
"I just said that the evil sect is here, and now I want to go again?" Lao Huang's footsteps still walked to the next household, "I see that this place is very ghostly, the surroundings are all dark, the sky can't see through, I don't know where the boundary is, if it's just that people are dead and the environment hasn't changed, it should be an oasis, and time is not right at all." ”
Lao Huang is right, the weirdest thing here is time, and it has been at least more than an hour since I woke up, and the sky is still as dark as thick ink, without the slightest light.
"Lao Huang, we didn't see a dead person before we went to sleep, where did you say that fake Ah Chuan got the human bones? Has he been here before? "I asked, it's always been a heart problem for me.
Lao Huang's footsteps stopped, and he rolled his eyes: "It's possible, it's better this way, since he can go out, it means that we can also go out." ”
But his heart was on the right side...... "I suddenly had palpitations, I hope Lao Huang can understand what I mean."
"Don't think about it, isn't the real Achuan still there?" Lao Huang said, put his hand on my left chest, and at the same time took my hand and put it on his heart, "Look at it, our hearts are still on the left, which means that this has nothing to do with the left and right hearts." ”
I nodded, I felt really stunned, no one ever said that this ancient city had anything to do with those "anti-people", but both things were weird, so I couldn't help but think about it.
The dead people here are all mummy-like dried corpses, not like a place with human bones, and the fake Achuan probably just took the bone fragments in a few places and handed them over to the relevant departments, they often touch the tombs, and it is not difficult to find a tomb of the Qin Dynasty.
We turned around a few more houses, all of them were the same dried corpses, Ah Chuan and they may sleep anywhere, it is easy to miss it if you don't look carefully, but there are too many houses here, we don't know when to see them one by one.
I suddenly panicked in my heart, and pulled Lao Huang by the hand: "Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi's vigilance is so high, they will open their eyes at the slightest movement, if they are awake, will they still come here?" ”
Lao Huang was stunned and scolded: ", why didn't you say it earlier, Lao Tzu didn't even think about it." ”
I smiled bitterly: "I also just thought that if they came here in a sober state, they must know what was going on, if they didn't come......"
I couldn't go any longer, a huge panic spread, and a meaningful smile appeared in front of my eyes, did he already know that staying in the palace would encounter such a strange thing, so he went out to sleep?
No, if he already knew, why didn't he tell me and Lao Huang, even if the archaeological team couldn't say it when I went out to relieve myself, unless they wanted to harm us in the first place.
No way, they won't harm us, I have an indescribable sense of anxiety in my heart, I am desperate to find them, and only by seeing them appear in front of me can I dispel my doubts.
Lao Huang was still expressionless, he definitely didn't think about it so much, I hesitated and didn't tell him, this kind of thing is enough to make me upset, Lao Huang is already wary of the Mo family, I don't want to affect the balance in his heart before seeing the truth.
"Daze, I think we're still looking for it, if they don't come, it's useless for those stupid/fools to look for it, the house over there is high, let's go up and have a look, and then go in one direction, I want to see if it's really crossed." Lao Huang said.
"Okay." I don't care about the life or death of the archaeological team anymore, if there is no danger, they will be fine, if there is danger, they must be corpses now.
It's all fate, of course I don't want them to die, but I can't change anything, I've long been used to accepting fate, at this moment, I followed Lao Huang and ran quickly to the highest house, and when I went in, it was the same dried corpse again.
This is a three-story building, we quickly found the stairs, climbed to the top, Lao Huang raised the flashlight to the sky, the flashlight was very bright, but far from enough, and finally escaped into the air, and it was still dark above.
We looked around again, there were houses everywhere, and the outline of the hall in the distance, but we couldn't see the edge, the surroundings were completely shrouded in darkness, and with the brightest wolf's eye flashlight, we could only see a few hundred meters, and there were all houses as far as the eye could see, not even the stone pillars on the periphery of the ancient city.
"Lao Huang, is the area of this dwelling so large? How do I remember that it wasn't long from seeing the pillars to walking to the palace. ”
Lao Huang spread his hands: "Ghost remember, it's okay if you can't see it, at that time, it was only a matter of more than an hour to go from outside the Devil's City to the palace, let's go for a walk now, there are no those who are holding back, it is estimated that we can see the Devil's City in twenty minutes, if we can really go out and see the desert outside......"
