Chapter Twenty-Three: The Transformation of Terror ......
It was like I had been struck by lightning, but I tried to pretend to be calm: "Transformation? β
Ling Hushan looked at the lake next to him, and his expression was a little sad: "There are fewer and fewer humans, and now there are only a few dozen people left, if this continues, one day we will perish......"
He insisted that they still had dozens of them, that he was lying.
At this point, he turned his eyes back to me: "You all have humanoid blood in your body, and you can be transformed. β
We can convert!
We can become humanoids completely!
Seeing that I was in a daze, Ling Hushan said eagerly: "When the time comes, you can enjoy the resources of the dark river with us, you can go down and down the ground as freely as we do, and you can kill people and goods on Lop Nur with us, and live freely and freely......"
I said, "Wait, when we become humanoids, we can burrow into the ground?" β
Ling Hushan said: "After the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it will naturally fly. β
I said, "How...... Invert? β
Linghushan said: "It's very simple. β
I said, "I want to hear it." β
Ling Hushan suddenly stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This is our secret, unless you agree, I won't tell you." β
I said, "What if we don't agree?" β
Linghushan said, "You all have to die." β
I said, "Why are you doing this?" β
Ling Hushan didn't answer me, he said coldly: "Do you know how many corpses are buried on Lop Nur? β
I said, "I don't know." β
Linghushan said: "Then let me tell you, none of the people who have seen us on Lop Nur have gone out alive, otherwise we would have been extinct long ago." β
I said, "Are you afraid we'll tell you out?" β
Linghushan said: "Once you are rescued, you will definitely tell us out." β
I said, "I promise ......"
Ling Hushan interrupted me immediately: "I never listen to your human promises. β
I said, "Don't we have a second way?" β
Ling Hushan said: "This condition is my bottom line. β
I thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, you let the others go, and I'll stay." β
Linghushan said, "What are we leaving you for?" β
I said, "I'll take you hostage." I promise that when they go out, they will keep their word about your existence, and if any of them leak it, if you are in danger, then you will put me to death. β
Ling Hushan shook his head and said, "I don't trust the loyalty between you. Especially since you are all temporary teams, it is even more unreliable to meet in Pingshui. After they go out, in the face of the media and fame and fortune, they won't care about your life or death at all, and they will poke us out on Weibo as soon as possible. For the sake of my race, I definitely don't risk it. β
I said, "I'll talk to our people." β
Linghushan said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." β
I stood up and walked to the tent with Zhanghui. My steps were a little heavy.
Zhang Hui whispered: "Boss Zhou, let's just kill him." β
I said, "The egg hits the stone." β
Oh Min and Berry were looking at us eagerly in front of the tent.
Zhang Hui and I walked up to them, and I roughly said what Linghu Mountain meant. Both men were silent.
Actually, there is nothing to discuss in this matter, I just bought some time and thought about countermeasures.
Linghushan looked at me from a distance.
The monsoon was watching me from afar.
Those humanoids were watching me from afar.
I closed my eyes, and they were still watching me in the dark, waiting for me to make a decision. I noticed that my brain was no longer spinning, it was blank.
After a while, I looked up at Pulp Juice, Zhang Hui and Wu Min, and said, "Meng Xiaoshuai and Bai Xinxin are not here, let's discuss it, now there are only two paths, one is to agree, be transformed into humans, and live in the ancient tomb for the rest of your life; One way is not to agree, and the end is basically to be killed by them, or starved to death......"
Zhang Hui said: "Boss Zhou, what do you think? β
I said, "Say it, I don't want to influence your decision." β
"I'll take the third path," said Juice. β
I said, "What is it?" β
"I don't know, I don't want either way anyway!" β
Wu Min spoke, and his voice was low: "Can you agree first, and then we will find a way to go out after becoming humanoid......"
I said, "I think that when we were turned into humanoids, not only did our bodies change, but our brains must have changed as well. For example, if a dog is turned into a wolf, it will voluntarily stay in the wasteland, and it will never want to return to the city and stay under its master's feet every day. β
Zhang Hui suddenly said: "I want to stay in Lop Nur." β
I should have thought that after going out, what was waiting for Zhang to return was shackles, and being transformed into a humanoid and surviving on Lop Nur must have been what he wanted.
I looked at him, a little stunned.
However, I immediately nodded and said, "Okay." β
After a moment of silence, I said, "I won't agree." Wu Min, what about you? β
Wu Min thought for a long time before he hesitated and said, "There is no other way, I agree......"
I looked at the juice again and said, "You can say yes or no." β
Pulp looked at Wu Min, then at me, and finally shook his head and said, "No." β
Wu Min looked at Pulp Juice and said in a low voice: "Pulp Juice, we can only live if we become humanoids!" β
"I don't want to live like that. β
Wu Min said: "I'm here." β
"I'm not going to want a man who has had sex reassignment surgery," she said. β
Wu Min said, "What do you say? It's just a transformation, it's not a transgender, I'm still a man! β
Pulp sneered and said, "Are you still a man?" β
Although Wu Min is weak, his mouth is still so able to say: "Only ignorant and extreme people will commit suicide." I appreciate the Christian outlook on life, which is that we must live no matter what. β
There was a sneer on Pulp's face: "Do you agree to let you become a mouse and live?" β
Wu Min said: "I first choose to be an upright person, and if I can't do it, I will retreat to the second." Pulp, now is a matter of life and death, you don't have to be naΓ―ve, otherwise you won't have a chance, you think about it. β
"Needless to say, since I was a child, I may only have this decision to be mature. β
Wu Min said helplessly: "After I become humanoid, I will think about saving you." β
Pulp said, "Thanks, no need. When I was a kid, I used to play whack-a-mole, and when I saw you coming out of the ground, I probably hurt you by mistake. β
Wu Min finally stopped talking.
I found that when Pulp Juice and Wu Min said these words, Zhang Hui looked at his feet without any expression on his face.
I said, "Okay, you two agree to be converted." I'm going to talk to Linghushan. β
When I returned to the lake with Zhanghui, Ling Hushan smiled: "This decision is very difficult. β
I stood in front of him and said, "We have 4 people now, and two of them have agreed to become you. β
Ling Hushan said: "There are only 4 of you left? β
I said, "There are two more people, and they haven't come back." β
Ling Hushan asked curiously, "What did they do?" β
I said, "It's none of your business. β
Ling Hushan said: "Okay, do you include you who agree to be transformed-Zhou, old, big?" β
I shook my head and said, "Zhang Hui and Wu Min." β
Linghushan said, "Oh, that's good...... Can you call the shots for the other two? β
I said, "I can't be in charge of anybody." But I can help you predict that Bai Xinxin will agree, and Meng Xiaoshuai will not agree. β
Ling Hushan said: "That is to say, three agree, three disagree......"
I said, "I have to know how you convert." β
Ling Hushan looked at me, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "It's just right." β
I said, "What's right?" β
Linghushan said: "Now, I want to tell you how to transform. β
Zhang Hui and I both stared at him.
"First, we need to choose a date," he said. Tomorrow is the 16th day of April in the lunar calendar, it is appropriate to sacrifice, it is appropriate to pray for blessings, and it is appropriate to open the light, and we will go to a special place to hold a ceremony. Next, those who agree to the conversion are to fast for three days......"
I said, "They are very weak now, and they are likely to die after three days of fasting." β
Linghushan said: "In the past three days, they have drunk blood. β
I was shocked: "Whose blood to drink?" β
Linghushan said, "Drink your blood." β
I shook violently: "Our blood? β
Linghushan said: "You only have humanoid blood in your body, but there are not many. Take Zhang back and say, if he wants to be completely transformed, he must drink the blood from your body. β
Zhang Hui raised the nail gun in a moment.
That "Zheng Taiyuan" picked up the crossbow again.
I pressed down on Zhanghui's nail gun.
Zhang Hui said: "Linghu Mountain, if I drink your blood, will it be faster to transform?" β
Ling Hushan said calmly: "I am purely humanoid, and my blood is invalid. The blood on a person's body is about 8% of the body weight, so according to a person's 100 catties, there should be 8 catties of blood, just like you humans drink milk, which is exactly three days' amount. Even if you all agree to be converted, only three of you will have their dreams come true, and the other three will have to be willing to be sacrificed. Now, if three of you agree to be converted, it's up to the remaining three to agree or not. β
I said, "We will not drink the blood of our own people." β
Ling Hushan said: "Then we won't talk about it." β
I said, "What do you want?" Killing? β
Ling Hushan smiled: "You are not our opponent at all. Even if we don't kill you, you won't live long. β
Zhang Hui spoke again, his tone was very calm, as if he was discussing: "Linghushan, I'll fight with you alone, I never like to fight in groups." β
Linghushan said: "I am the leader, not the ruffian. β
I suddenly said, "Linghu Mountain, I know why you want us to be transformed, there are only 6 of you left, all of them are here, and you urgently need to replenish the members." β
Ling Hushan also stood up, squinted at me, and said for a long time: "Why do you say that we only have 6 humanoids left?" β
I said, "Baisha once came back at night and told me the news, and none of you noticed?" β
Ling Hushan shook his head in disbelief.
I said, "No wonder." This man has a special ability to come and go silently, so he was able to sneak into the tomb and kill you two humans. And I also know that you humans become blind at night, and that's what he told me. β
Linghushan said, "What if we only have 6 humanoids left? β
I said, "We have a total of 600 nails, and even if our marksmanship is not accurate, one humanoid in 100 shots will wipe you all out." Besides, Zhang Hui is a policeman, and he hits every shot. This is a secret I gave you. So, you have to help us, or we'll have to rob it. β
Linghu Shan glanced back at Monsoon, who was looking at us, and he said meaningfully, "Come on, we are waiting for you at any time." But I want to warn you that we have you as a hostage. β
I said, "Linghu Mountain, don't you think you're a brute!" β
Ling Hushan said: "If you don't come nonsense, I won't hurt her." β
With that, he got up and left.
That "Zheng Taiyuan" looked at us coldly, and it wasn't until Linghu Mountain returned to the humanoid that he retreated step by step and ran over.
Negotiations broke up unhappily.
Linghu Mountain left with the humanoids. Monsoon went with them, and she gave me one last look in the twilight, as if to remember what I looked like. It's hard for me to forget that look.
Exhausted, I returned to the tent and asked me, "What's the result?" β
I said to Wu Min, "I'm sorry, I refused for you." β
Wu Min said, "Why? β
I said, "If you want to be transformed, you have to drink the blood out of the pulp." You can choose to be a mouse, but I'm sure you would never choose to be a vampire bat. β
Wu Min scolded in a low voice: "Bastard! β
Pulp stopped talking.
Everyone knows the significance of this negotiation. We are running out of food, relying on drinking water, in the scorching heat of the desert, for those of us who are severely undernourished, for a maximum of five days.
I heard the sound of a car in the distance, and looking over, I saw the headlights, coming from due east.
Pulp said: "Meng Xiaoshuai and Bai Xinxin are back!" β
That's right, Meng Xiaoshuai and Bai Xinxin are back. They brought back a piece of news, I don't know if it was good news or bad news - six or seven kilometers away, a small plane crashed!
