Chapter 107: Predecessors in the Desert (I)
Not originally part of this world?
Ye Da's words gave Tang Qianlin a great hint.
By the way, what if Ye Da and I are both from another world? What about the other dimension? Isn't that enough to explain a lot of things? For example, no memories of the past?
Wait, it still doesn't make sense.
Tang Qianlin shook his head and said: "It's speculation to say anything now, let's move on, maybe the answer we want is in front, maybe there really exists a Shaman Spirit Palace down here." ”
Ye Da said: "I hope." ”
Tang Qianlin waved his hand and said, "Let's go, keep moving forward, keep the original formation, don't mess up." ”
An Ran took out the camera from his bag, called Yi Mochen and Ni Xiaowan to get on the train together, and asked them to be responsible for lighting it with torches and flashlights, and he took pictures of the situation in the train.
After An Ran stepped off the train, Tang Qianlin raised his hand and grabbed her camera.
An Ran asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Let me ask you, who are you going to hand over these materials to?" ”
An Ran said: "What do you mean? ”
Tang Qianlin glanced at the others: "You must not tell the Japanese everything you have learned here, do you understand?" ”
An Ran took the camera, just looked at Tang Qianlin, the two looked at each other, for a long time, Tang Qianlin finally took his hand away, and An Ran put away the camera.
"Let's go." Tang Qianlin turned to look at the dark road ahead, suddenly he stopped, and a familiar feeling welled up from his heart, how many years ago, he also faced the darkness and asked himself: Who are you? What are you doing? Where are you going?
An Ran stepped forward and looked at Tang Qianlin: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head and didn't speak, raised his feet and continued to move forward.
However, as soon as everyone walked less than a hundred meters, the desert in front of them suddenly lit up, and the strange thing was that although the front became translucent, and the sunlight shone through the ground, the position they were in was still pitch black.
Everyone looked at the spectacle in front of them, slowly stepped forward, came to the junction of darkness and light, and raised their hands to touch the side that was full of sunlight.
On the dark side, they look up at the sky on the light side, but they see nothing, but when they lift their feet and walk into the light side, and when they look up again, they can see the sky without half a cloud and the sun that seems to melt the earth.
The crowd was stupid again, and they experienced a series of things that were far beyond what could be imagined.
"What the hell is this place?" An Ran stood there, subconsciously raised the camera in his hand and shot around, although in the eyes of everyone, there was only a desert all around, except for sand or sand.
Ni Xiaowan squatted down and touched the hot sand: "It's not an illusion, it's all real." ”
Li Yunfan held the gun, turned to look at the darkness behind him, then looked back at the dazzling desert in front of him, and then looked at Yi Mochen, who was stunned next to him.
Ye Da stepped forward and asked Tang Qianlin, "What should I do now?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I don't know, either go back, or continue to move forward, there are only these two roads." ”
"Let's go!" As if Enron had made a lot of determination, he was the first to raise his feet and walk towards the sand dunes in front of him.
Tang Qianlin also numbly followed An Ran up the hill, and after everyone went up, they stood there, looking at the desert around them, there was nothing, nothing could be seen.
Six people and a cat stood on the sand dunes, as if what they saw was not the desert, but despair.
Jelly beans dig holes in the desert and pee comfortably, which should be the largest toilet in the world for cats.
"...... now," An Ran said two words, paused, and looked at Tang Qianlin, "What should I do now?" Keep going? ”
Tang Qianlin said unexpectedly: "I think we should turn around and go back." ”
After saying that, he subconsciously turned around and glanced behind him, it didn't matter, he was dumbfounded again, because the darkness when they came had completely disappeared, and the scene behind him was the same as before, only the desert, and the undulating sand dunes.
"It's over." Yi Mochen smiled bitterly, "If you want to go back, you can't help it." ”
As he spoke, Yi Mochen ran down the sand dune, ran towards his previous position, stood there and looked around, then turned to look at the people in the distance, and shrugged his shoulders.
At this moment, there were gunshots around, and after the gunshots, everyone subconsciously leaned over to dodge, and at the same time saw Yi Mochen in the distance fall to the ground.
"Mochen!" Li Yunfan watched Yi Mochen fall, and he didn't care so much, so he ran directly over there.
Tang Qianlin said to the people beside him: "Get down!" Don't move! There are gunners around! ”
Where did the gunners come from? What is this place? Why shoot for no reason? These questions are fleeting in everyone's minds, because they can't even think about them, and the desire to survive takes over the whole brain, leaving no room for you to think about why.
When Li Yunfan ran to Yi Mochen's side, he found that Yi Mochen was shot in the head, the bullet passed directly through the right temple, and the impact of the bullet in the cranial cavity directly opened his entire left brain, and the left side of his head was broken with a big hole.
Li Yunfan knelt there completely stupid, because all this came too suddenly.
Suddenly, several white horses rushed out of the hill on the other side, and the riders on the white horses were masked, dressed in sand-colored robes, and armed with rifles.
"Yunfan!" Tang Qianlin hissed and shouted, and opened fire at those people with a gun, and the rest of the people immediately covered Li Yunfan, who was retreating back, under the dense firepower, several riders' white horses were shot, and the riders rolled off their horses and fell into the desert, and quickly adjusted their posture again, lying on the hill with a gun and shooting at them.
"Let's go!" After Li Yunfan arrived at their position, Tang Qianlin shot while telling the others to hurry up and run towards the bottom of the sand dune.
Although the submachine guns in their hands have more firepower, they are completely unable to give full play to their advantages because of the distance, on the contrary, the rifles of those riders dozens of meters away can pose a huge threat to them.
But where to run? There is a desert all around, and the other party is riding a horse, and people can't outrun the horse, and if it goes on like this, it will be a dead end sooner or later.
"Grenade! Hand grenade! Tang Qianlin stopped at the back of the hill and motioned for everyone to take out the grenades, "One for each person, listen to my orders!" Lie on your stomach and don't move, don't make a sound. ”
Leaning against the north side of the dunes, the crowd stared at the top of the hill, pricking up their ears to listen to the sound of horses' hooves and other movements.
Tang Qianlin clenched the grenade tightly and said to the others in a deep voice: "Listen to my order, I say throw it, you just throw the grenade directly above, that is, where we stood before, do you understand?" ”
The rest of the people nodded slightly, An Ran and Ni Xiaowan's hands were trembling, and their minds were also blank.
Li Yunfan stared at the top, and all that shook in front of him was the picture of seeing Yi Mochen being shot earlier.
How so? Why?
The sound of horses' hooves finally approached, Tang Qianlin listened with his eyes closed, and suddenly shouted, "Throw." ”
As soon as the words fell, Tang Qianlin threw the grenade in his hand directly upward, and the rest of the people immediately did the same.
The riders, who had just arrived on horseback, immediately pulled their horses to turn around and run in the face of the grenades that were thrown, but the five grenades scattered around had blocked their retreat.
After several explosions, no sound could be heard in the desert except the neighing of horses.
Tang Qianlin made a gesture of "don't move", slowly climbed up the hill with a submachine gun, looked down slightly, and found that six horses and six riders had fallen in the desert, blown up to a blur of flesh and blood.
Looking around, Tang Qianlin didn't notice anyone else, so he leaned over and walked down, wanting to see who ambushed them.
Tang Qianlin walked up to a rider who was still moaning, lifted his mask with his hands, and found that under the mask was a young face, his complexion was tanned, and he could clearly see the coarse pores.
The seriously injured young man stared at him, and Tang Qianlin found that although the young man had an oriental face, his eyes were green.
When the young man was about to reach out to touch the rifle next to him, Tang Qianlin took it over.
The young man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. And Tang Qianlin's attention was focused on the rifle, because he had never seen the style of the rifle, a bit like Hanyang, but the handguard under the barrel was much thicker, although it was also a rear-pull bolt structure, but the style of the bolt and the magazine below were obviously different.
What's even stranger is that there are many charm-like symbols on the gun, which are all silvery-white and sparkle in the sunlight.
Tang Qianlin watched as the young man pressed his hands on his chest and abdomen, where blood oozed from them, and he asked, "Who are you?" What is this place? ”
The young man opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he still couldn't speak, Tang Qianlin took a closer look, and took off the scarf around his neck only to find that a fragment of a grenade had been embedded there.
Tang Qianlin grabbed his rifle and stood up, looked around, and suddenly had a feeling - was he still trapped in Asda's dream and hadn't come out yet?
Otherwise, how did all this happen?
Suddenly, Tang Qianlin saw a figure on the hill to the west, and he subconsciously picked up his submachine gun to aim.
The man on the hill was wearing a sand-colored robe with a pullover, and the only eyes that were exposed trembled slightly, and then he waved his hand at Tang Qianlin and slid down the hill.
Tang Qianlin could tell from that person's pace that he seemed to be very happy.
Tang Qianlin still did not let his guard down, and aimed at the person who was gradually approaching with his gun.
"Stop! Don't move! Tang Qianlin held a gun to stop the man from continuing to step forward, "Just stand there." ”
At this time, the visitor's gaze fell on the lower phoenix spear that Tang Qianlin was carrying, and then unveiled the face scarf, revealing a bronzed, wrinkled old face, and said at the same time: "You are a catcher, right?" ”
Tang Qianlin was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and saw the old man's right hand slowly stretched out from under his robe, revealing the hidden phoenix blade on his wrist: "I'm ...... too"
Tang Qianlin was dumbfounded, looking at the hidden phoenix blade and then at the old man, and at the same time, the rest of the people also slowly climbed up the hill next to them, standing there staring at them.
Tang Qianlin still didn't put down the gun, but just asked, "Are you?" ”
The old man uncovered the robe on his head, looked Tang Qianlin up and down, and said, "My surname is You, my name is Sifang, if you are also a catcher, you should have heard of me." ”
You Quartet? Tang Qianlin was stunned, because there was a person standing in front of him who had died a long time ago.
