I threw away the sapper shovel and stared blankly at the pulp in the grass turning into a piece of wood.

After entering Lop Nur, I experienced too many fantastical events, but it was only at this moment that I truly felt like I was dreaming.

The juice is dead and buried......

On this wet morning, she miraculously appeared right in front of her grave, in the dense grass!

I turned my head sharply to look at Zhang Hui, who looked at me in a daze, and continued to stare at the pulp in the grass.

It seems that I'm not dreaming, Zhang Hui also saw her!

After half a minute, I shuddered, "Pulp? ”

The juice didn't disappear, and she didn't come out, but lowered her head and began to cry.

I tentatively walked up to her.

She was dressed in the same clothes we wore when we first met, the same clothes we wore before the burial - a black stand-up collar cardigan, embroidered with a large red flower on her chest, and a bun on her head......

I walked up to her, and she hugged me and cried even harder, but she suppressed her crying and just sobbed violently.

I also hugged her: "Don't cry, it's okay." ”

She cried all the time.

I didn't say anything more, just hugged her tightly.

After a while, she finally stopped crying, wiped her tears, and let go of me.

Zhang Hui still stood in place, staring at her.

I said, "How are you ...... Coming back? ”

"Am I not going to be able to come back?" Then I'll leave now! ”

I said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Tell me, what the hell is going on? ”

Juice didn't answer me, she looked up at me and asked, "Are they all okay?" ”

I said, "Some people have been lost, and the rest are here." ”

Pulp asked again, "What does it mean to lose?" ”

I said, "They're all dead." However, seeing you resurrect from the dead, I'm not sure if they're really dead......"

Pulp smiled a little sadly: "I don't know if I'm a human or a ghost." ”

I said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Juice said, "Where do you say that?" ”

I said, "Start at the beginning." ”

"I was waiting for you by the lake, and suddenly someone covered my mouth, and at first I was still conscious, and the man dragged me, and put me in the grass by the lake, and for a while he was tinkering with me, and I didn't know what he was doing, and then I passed out, or rather, I died." No, there was a hallucination, I vaguely saw a woman in golden flowers, she was wandering in the distance, I called out to her for help, she looked at me very indifferently, and then walked away, and then there was nothing. I don't know how long it took, but I woke up, I thought it was hell, but later I determined that it was from the tomb......"

I said, "I think it's like this - like last time, they put you in suspended animation, and when we buried you and left, they dug you out or carried you out of the ground." But they left one behind, and I dug it up again while sleepwalking......"

Pulp said, "You buried me? ”

I said, "Buried, you had no signs of life at that time...... How did you escape? ”

Pulp was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Actually, I'm their person." ”

I couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, I said, "What...... Meaning? ”

Pulp shook her head: "I'm just like you, I have their blood in me. ”

I said with some vigilance, "How could it be such a coincidence!" ”

Pulp asked rhetorically, "Why did I come to Lop Nur?" I think it's fate! ”

My father told me that humanoids have always lived in no man's land, and for thousands of years, only one person has been left, and that is my grandfather - it seems that this is not true, and there are people who covet the prosperity of mankind and escape.

I said, "They let you go?" ”

Juice shook her head again: "They told me that you are gone, I have nowhere to go, I have to join them, I have to live......"

I said, "Then how did you get to this place?" ”

"I know from their mouths that you are coming back, so I will wait for you by this lake, and you have come." ”

I said, "Why don't you come out?" ”

"I'm afraid you won't believe me...... Will you still be as good to me as you used to? ”

I said, "Yes, whether you are dead or alive." ”

Pulp suddenly said, "Then do you remember the 7 words I chose?" ”

I said, "What a kid are you?" When have you been mentioning this! ”

Tears fell from her eyes and she said, "I knew that you didn't value my feelings at all." ”

I said, "I promise, I'll be able to remember it if I look through the dictionary today, okay?" Hey, what about the monsoon? Do you see the monsoon? ”

Pulp said: "You die, she is already with Linghu Mountain." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "They're out of here...... Far away? ”

Juice said, "You're going to find her?" ”

I said, "I'm just asking." ”

"You can't find it." ”

After a pause, I said, "What's next for you?" ”

"I have to go back." ”

I was a little surprised: "Why? ”

"I've lived with them for a few days, and I know that we can't be separated, and sooner or later we'll all have to die in this desert...... Only by relying on them can I live. ”

I said, "Why can't you do it?" ”

"As long as you break into the Ecstasy, no one will leave—will you go back with me?" You also have their bloodline in you, and they won't kill you. ”

I said, "Go to the tomb?" No way! ”

"If the monsoon lets you go, you'll not hesitate, won't you?" ”

I said, "I live only on earth." Moreover, I vowed to take everyone away, not only to leave, but also to make this experience into a drama, so that everyone can see what it is like to have bugs in this world. ”

"I hope so," said Pulp, "I hope so...... Then I'm going to go back too, I'm within them, and I'll be able to help you. If you can get out, take me with you! ”

I said, "Don't worry, when I go out, I will definitely return to Lop Nur, and even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find you." ”

Pulp said: "Three feet is not good, the ancient tomb is deeper." ”

I said, "I'm not in the mood to raise the bar with you." Let's go, I'll take you to meet with you. ”

"I'm not going into the camp anymore," said Pulp. ”

I said, "Oh Min is crazy. ”

Pulp was stunned: "He...... What's crazy? ”

I said, "Maybe it was too much pressure and he had a breakdown." Aren't you going to see him? ”

That's when Juice came out of the grass with me.

Zhang Hui was still staring at her.

I walked over and said to him, "Juice isn't dead, illusion." Let's go, back to camp. ”

Zhang Hui put the sapper shovel on his shoulder, and said to the pulp: "It's too legendary, right? Juice, you have to sign me! ”

Pulp hugged the hug and replied: "Hug first!" ”

The three of us talked all the way back to the camp.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at us.

Meng Xiaoshuai shouted: "Pulp? Then he ran over and hugged the juice, and tears flowed down.

I introduced Pulp Juice to Cong Zhen, Xiao 5, Bibi and Dashan, and briefly told everyone about her situation, and then I took her to Wu Min's tent.

Pulp stopped at the door of the tent and looked at Wu Min.

Wu Min looked at Pulp Juice in confusion, it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

Juice said, "Hi-"

Wu Min blinked his eyes, finally withdrew his gaze, and looked out again, looking at the lake.

Pulp said, "Wu Min, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wu Min looked around, as if he was looking for "Wu Min". Then, he said something quite frightening: "He's lost." ”

Pulp frowned: "He...... Where are you lost? ”

Wu Min said again as if he hadn't gone crazy again: "To be precise, he lost his soul." After a person's soul is lost, only the shell remains, and he can still speak and express opinions, but that is only an inertia, in fact, he has no longer thinks. It's hard for you to see that his soul is lost, but I can see it—I can't say that I'm observant, I'm just very careful about life. Those who have lost their souls, though they also speak, their eyes are blank, as if they were reciting books. Speaking without thinking is a kind of physical labor, and he will feel tired when he speaks...... I am tired. ”

After saying that, he really didn't say a word.

Pulp didn't ask anymore, she and Meng Xiaoshuai's reactions were different, she sneered, and then said, "I forgive him." ”

Then, she sat down in the tent and I sat down next to her.

Pulp said: "There is a little beauty again, and she is still your fan, she must have forgotten about me." ”

I said, "I always dream of you." ”

"Dreams? Again, there is no evidence. ”

After a pause, I asked her, "You gave me that celestial object?" ”

She said, "What celestial things?" ”

I said, "That's the glass I gave you!" ”

She said, "No." ”

I said, "Oh, then I'm really sleepwalking......

She said, "What sleepwalking? ”

I said, "It's too complicated to say. How long have you been back."

"I ran out in the middle of the night last night and got lost and ......only arrived this evening," she said.

I said, "You've been hiding in the grass?" ”

She said, "yes. My heart is very complicated, and I don't know if I should come out to see you......"

I said, "Why?" ”

Pulp lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

It seems that she has something unspeakable.

I asked her again, "How much do you know about them?" ”

Pulp said, "Humanoid? ”

I said, "Hmm. ”

"Not a lot," said Pulp. ”

I said, "How many of them are there in total?" ”

"Actually, there aren't many of them, and if they hadn't lied to me, there would have been dozens of people left." They didn't kill me, and I suspect they wanted me to be genuinely committed to their race...... Succession. ”

I was shocked.

Dozens of people!

So, I've already met some of them - Zheng Taiyuan, I've seen three of them in the ancient tomb, including my father, Ling Hushan, the woman who didn't speak when we went to revise the chessboard and came back, the person who pretended to be Yu Chunshun, and the weird man who Ma Ran met on the desert......

I said, "Do they all live together?" ”

"Scattered in several tombs. ”

I said, "Have they lived here for generations?" ”

"It's strange that they weren't in this place when Lop Nur was a big lake," said Pulp. When Lop Nur became a salt crust and there was no one left, they moved in. I think they've always lived in difficult areas, and that's why they have survived. ”

I said, "I'm puzzled, how come they appear wherever we go in such a big Lop Nur." I thought the ground was full of their people, drilling around. ”

"Actually, we have always been walking around in a small area, no more than a few dozen square kilometers!" ”

I was shocked again.

After a while, I said, "Do they have a leader?" ”

"No," said Berry, "they have something to discuss together, but I feel that they seem to respect the old man's opinion. The oldest of them is called Lao Ji. ”

I said, "I'd love to know, what special abilities do they have?" ”

"All I know is that they can burrow into the ground and go long without breathing," said Pulp. ”

I said, "Will they shrink their bones?" ”

Pulp said, "What do you mean by shrinking bones?" ”

I said, "It's to change the arrangement of the bones so that you can get through a very narrow place." ”

"I think that's how it was when they got into the ground. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, though. ”

I said, "Don't they share the sky with us?" Is there room for negotiation? ”

"No," said Pulp. They won't let us leave this place, probably to protect themselves. ”

I thought about it for a moment and suddenly asked, "What do they eat?" ”

"They have someone who is responsible for bringing supplies back from the outside world. ”

My eyes lit up: "How did they get out?" ”

"There's a mysterious passage," said Pulp. ”

I said, "Linghushan told us that those passages were under the Sun Tomb, but we made the wrong choice and were forced to return. You have to figure out which channel is right. ”

Juice shook her head and said in despair, "It's impossible." ”

I said, "Why?" ”

"Only the oldest of the people knows which passage is correct," said Pulp, "and when he is dying, he will tell the second oldest." However, the oldest of them died the day before yesterday and did not have time to leave a will. ”

I said, "Death? ”

Pulp said, "You killed me." ”

I said, "Killed by us?" ”

"The night before yesterday, he went to your camp with a few men, I don't know what they wanted to do, but he must have been to harm you, and then they decided to leave, as if you noticed it. The other people were young and left first, and Lao Ji was the last to leave, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you, blasted him out of the ground, and killed him......"

Zhang Hui's face suddenly became solemn.

The bald old man he killed with Meng Xiaoshuai was the only one who knew the right path!

We've run the road.
