Chapter 39: The Worst News

Little 5 quietly looked at the words on the sand and froze.

Bai Xinxin said thoughtlessly: "Hero." ”

No one answered.

Cong Zhen called softly: "Little 5......"

Little 5 looked back at his father angrily, strode back to the tent, closed the tent door, and then came out crying.

Cong Zhen was about to walk over, but Bibi blocked him: "Uncle, I'll go." ”

After saying that, Bibi walked over slowly.

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Where did he go?" Oh, I should say...... Where did they go? ”

I said, "As a boy, he used to be weak, but now he's strong β€” nine." He couldn't face the little 5 he liked and walked away. ”

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "It's all gone? Where did they go? ”

I looked around and said, "I hope we can meet him someday...... One of them. ”

Then, everyone silently carried the supplies to the car.

After doing all this work, I was still unwilling and continued to look around. The desert was empty, and there was not a single figure in sight.

One more teammate is missing......

Dashan is very tragic, he was an orphan since he was a child, suffering from congenital heart disease, he finally met a girl he liked on the Internet, the two of them made an appointment to meet, but they came to Lop Nur Ecstasy, and they couldn't get out again, that day the human made Fox Mountain suddenly appear, he was frightened, looked down on by Xiao 5, looked down on by everyone, today, he resolutely went into the water, turned himself into 9, and then quietly left the team, all disappeared in the vast desert......

After moving, Cong Zhen said: "We have a car, gas, food and water, shouldn't we go out next?" ”

I said, "Sleep well today, and tomorrow we will set out to find the tomb of the sun." ”

That night, Bai Xinxin finally gave up her sentry.

Guo Mei brought Four Eyes into their tent.

I still sleep in a tent with Zhang Hui, Meng Xiaoshuai, and Wu Min.

The relationship between the four of us was complicated – Zhang Hui and I firmly believed that Wu Min was pretending to be crazy. Wu Min didn't admit it, he was still "crazy". Meng Xiaoshuai is his ex-girlfriend, and she and Wu Min stand on the same side, thinking that Zhang Hui and I are framing Wu Min, and she is very sensitive to protect him.

Well, everyone lay down, the night in Lop Nur was so quiet, and the show began.

Honestly, the long nights were so lonely, I needed a show to watch.

Wu Min began to speak, his voice was so low that I had to prick up my ears to hear: "It's so dark, and you're still wearing a weird hat, why?" Stand farther away! I'll tell you to stay away! …… The phone has no signal, it always freezes, the more anxious it is, the more I can't get through, I really want to drop it! …… Look, that woman didn't wear a swimsuit! Ha ha! You dive underwater and see! ……”

I'm really not sure if this guy is really crazy or not.

After so many days in Lop Nur, my nerves were stretched to the limit, and I was worried that he would drive me crazy.

I plugged my ears and didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, but his voice was like a pervasive mosquito that was a scoundrel that burrowed into my ears......

Finally, I sat up gently, put on my clothes and walked out.

Subsequently, Zhang Hui followed.

Zhang Hui said: "Boss Zhou, you can't stand it? ”

I said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "I can't stand it. ”

I looked around, but I didn't see Bai Xinxin, I said, "Where is Bai Xinxin?" Nothing will happen, right? ”

Zhang Hui said, "Let's go to the car and have a look." ”

Zhang Hui and I walked to the front of the car and shone a flashlight inward, Bai Xinxin put the seat flat and was sleeping.

I opened the car door and said, "Hey, sir, wake up!" ”

Bai Xinxin got up immediately, blocked the light of the flashlight with her hand, and muttered: "Still check the post......"

I said, "It's dangerous for everyone to stand guard and sleep, and it's dangerous for you." If you're really sleepy, go back to sleep, I'll take your place. ”

Bai Xinxin said, "Okay, thank you." ”

Then he went back to his tent.

Zhang Hui and I sat down by the lake.

I said, "I wrote a story about savages. Do you want to hear it? ”

Zhang Hui said: "Don't be too bloody. ”

I said, "Savages, just one of our names, they are actually another branch of humanity. I've seen a documentary in which researchers have found that all areas around the world where people claim to have seen wild men have basically the same altitude, humidity, and ecological environment. In other words, that kind of area is suitable for wild people. ”

Zhang Hui said: "It is not excluded that there are fakes. ”

I said, "My story is like this - there are several gangsters, they kidnap a man, no matter how they beat, this man does not speak, the fierce gangster burns the man's head with a candle, he still does not say a word, just stares at these gangsters so coldly. The gangsters imprisoned him in a hut on the outskirts and left. The next night, they returned to the hut and lit candles to check on their prey, and to their startle, the man had black hair on his head, neck, and hands! They hurried away. On the third day, they were not reconciled, and came to the hut again, and almost died of frightβ€”the man's hair had grown a lot! On the night of the fourth day, several gangsters came again, and the man no longer looked like a human, his eyes were hidden in thick black hair, forcing him to look at the gangsters in front of him. On the night of the fifth day, several gangsters walked into the hut again, and what appeared in front of them was a completely Mauser monster! …… In this way, in just a few days, several gangsters saw with their own eyes how this prey turned from a man into a beast...... In the end, those gangsters were torn apart by their prey. ”

After a pause, I added, "I have long felt that in this world, there is a kind of higher primate that humans do not know, they originated at the same time as humans and stood upright at the same time...... They were terrified of the killing of humans, and one day, they fled in terror and fled into the primeval forest, where they kept watching us, even though humans could not see them. They have always been our neighbors. ”

Zhang Hui said: "A species that continues in nature cannot be a small number of individuals, but only a population. How could they have survived with no sharp claws and fangs, and no signs of social activity? ”

I said, "Actually, during the long years of fighting against nature, they were more physically developed than humans, and they also evolved some functions that humans did not have......"

Zhang Hui said: "Human science and technology are becoming more and more developed, transportation is becoming more and more convenient, and footprints have traveled to almost all corners of the earth - why don't you know anything about them? Not even a single skull, not a single tooth, not a single hair......"

I said, "If they used to hide in the primeval forest, now they have moved and hid in no man's land......"

Zhang Hui said: "You mean, humanoids are savages? ”

I said, "Yes." After meeting them, I found that my prediction was very close. I just didn't expect them to have no hair and look so similar to us......"

Zhang Hui said: "I'm not very afraid of humanoids, it's a big deal to play with them." I was more afraid of the quirky kids, and the images that appeared on TV, and the white-haired woman...... What are they, you say? ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know. ”

After a pause, I said, "I'm more afraid of humanoids." ”

Zhang Hui said: "Why? ”

I said, "Because they are ...... with humans."

Suddenly, the reeds next to us stirred up and interrupted me. I stood up and slowly walked over to the reeds as I spoke: "...... The most similar. ”

Zhang Hui whispered, "What is the most similar?" ”

I continued to walk towards the reeds, and without looking back, said, "Because they are closest to humans." ”

The reed didn't move.

I snorted, "Who?" ”

Zhang Hui walked quickly in front of me and approached the reed that had been shaking slightly.

I heard a familiar voice, very weak: "Boss Zhou, it's my ......"

I shook a little: "Monsoon! ”

A figure stumbled out of the reeds with a stick, and fell down with a "plop". She was carrying a large canvas bag.

I ran over a few steps and hugged her.

I knew the monsoon was going to come back. Just like every time she leaves me and goes out to negotiate with various people, before leaving work, she will definitely come back to me and report quickly on her negotiations.

I hugged her thin shoulders and didn't say a word. Zhang Hui didn't see that in the dark, my tears flowed.

Zhang Hui was still vigilant, and he looked behind Monsoon: "Are you alone? ”

Monsoon said, "I'm alone. ”

Then, she pushed me away and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I've walked too far and my legs are a little weak." Let's go back to camp. ”

Zhang Hui picked up the stick beside her and looked at it, it was actually not a stick, but a crooked cane, antique, even a bit like a scepter.

Zhang Hui said: "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Monsoon said, "Brought out of the tomb, carried all the way." It shouldn't be something modern. If you want to collect it, keep it. ”

Zhang Hui took it in his hand and tossed it, saying, "It's better to have a fire extinguisher." Then he threw it on the sand.

I took Monsoon's backpack and helped her back to the tent with the emergency lights on.

Meng Xiaoshuai woke up, she saw Monsoon, and was shocked: "Oh my God, I'm dreaming, right?" ”

Ji Feng hugged Meng Xiaoshuai and said, "I'm really back." ”

I suspected that my eyes were red, so I avoided everyone's gaze and turned to Oh Min. It just so happened that Wu Min opened his eyes, and he saw that Ji Feng was stunned for a moment, which was the instinctive reaction of a normal person. He saw that I saw his expression, and his eyes moved to the side in a panic, and at the same time, his eyes quickly drifted away, and he began to mumble again.

Ji Feng didn't notice Wu Min's abnormality, she opened her backpack and said, "I brought you some food." ”

I said, "If you hadn't shown us the way, we might not have found this lake." ”

Monsoon said: "When I put up those road signs, I didn't expect them to come in handy. ”

Bai Xinxin and Guo Mei also got up and walked over together. Guo Mei said: "Monsoon, you are still alive!" ”

Monsoon said, "It's a good life." ”

Guo Mei said: "Why did you run back? ”

Monsoon said, "I heard that you were back at the lake, so I managed to escape." ”

Bai Xinxin said: "It's more finished now!" A woman sparked the Trojan War, and this ancient Greek story is about to play out in Lop Nur again......"

Monsoon said, "I'm coming back to tell you bad news......"

No one spoke.

Monsoon said, "I have heard their decision - they are going to gather the humanoids and kill you all at midnight tomorrow night in Lop Nur." ”

Zhang Hui said: "You take us to find them, let's start first, see who kills whom!" ”

Monsoon shook his head: "They live in many ancient tombs, I can only find the ancient tomb where I live, there are only 4 types of people there besides me and Pulp, including Linghu Mountain." ”

Zhang Hui said: "We will leave here tomorrow, they can't find us." ”

Monsoon said: "Zhang Hui, this is their home, they know the terrain very well!" That is, wherever we go, in the palm of their hands! ”

Zhang Hui said: "However, when they find out that you have run away, they will definitely think that you are going to come back to report the news, will they take action in advance or later?" ”

Monsoon said, "No." First, they live too scattered, and notification takes longer. Second, as long as they gather together and don't care if we are defenseless or not, it is not very difficult to eliminate us. ”

Guo Mei said: "You...... Not going back? ”

Monsoon said, "Even if I die, I will die with you." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "How much time is left?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "21 hours and ...... 46 minutes. ”
