Chapter Forty-Five: Faced with a Choice Again
I suddenly understood that the group of people we entered Lop Nur all had humanoid blood flowing through them!
It's just that we don't know it ourselves.
It is likely that this is the case - from ancient times to the present, there have been sporadic humanoids who have betrayed the race and joined human society, and we are the descendants of these humanoids.
We thought we were a chance combination, or a chance encounter, and then came to Lop Nur together, but in fact, everything was arranged by fate!
Well, those dead teammates, they must also be the descendants of humanoids. For what is the reason that some force has summoned all the scattered humanoid heirs to Lop Nur?
I was deeply terrified.
I thought that my life in the past belonged to me, and every step I took was a choice I made, but now it seems that it may not be like that, and I have always been manipulated, pulled, and induced by an invisible hand until I entered Lop Nur on April 20, 2013......
What a project that is!
I don't have time to think back to the countless coincidences that led me to Lop Nur, and I want to know, who is behind it?
Could it be the white-haired woman?
Could it be that she is the ancestor of humans?
Anyway, the executioner's butcher's knife left everyone's neck, and my tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and my body seemed to fall apart all at once.
I weakly asked, "What time is it?" β
Old C took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "0:11." β
I said, "When the execution time is over, shouldn't you let us go?" β
Old C said: "We won't kill our own people, you guys go." But I tell you, you can't get out there, you have to fend for yourself in the desert. β
With that, he waved his hand at the other humanoids, and they came over and untied the ropes for us. The ropes were so strong that it took them a few minutes to untie them all.
After the long-haired man untied the rope for me, he smiled sinisterly and whispered in my ear: "Maybe one day, the shoes of the copper coins on both sides will come to visit, don't neglect it." β
Of course, everyone was ecstatic to be able to escape death. Only Wu Min's expression was complicated, and he was exposed just now.
Monsoon said to Linghu Mountain: "Thank you...... I'm sorry. β
Ling Hushan's face was expressionless, and he looked up at the sky.
I said to Old C, "Since we are all a family, can we go home and stay for a few days and slowly find our way?" β
Old C sneered: "Your home is outside Lop Nur. The world was pitch black. β
Strange to say, it was at this time that the torches in the hands of the people happened to burn out and were extinguished one after another. The whole of Lop Nur was also plunged into darkness.
I got in the car and turned on the lights, and the people were gone, except for the corpses on the salt-crusted ground.
Bai Xinxin looked at this, then at that, and said, "How can we all be humanoid descendants!" It's a dead thing! β
I said, "Not much." β
Bai Xinxin said: "All of us are! You don't say much? β
I said, "Have you ever heard that?" There are no fish in the water, see you at the market. β
Bai Xinxin said: "If you don't talk about your allusions in the 60s, we don't understand." β
I said, "It means that you can't catch fish in the water, you can't blame you for not having fish, you go to the market and see, there are a lot of fish." We're probably all the humanoid descendants of the outside, and now, we're all in Lop Nur. I just can't figure it out, how can you not know that your heart is beating abnormally? Are you, like me, not fond of medical check-ups? β
Then, everyone started talking.
I found that although everyone's situation is different, one thing is the same - they all missed the check-up by mistake!
Finally I said, "Okay, we'll talk about that later." Then I pointed to the mountains that were duplicated on the earth and said, "Let's bury them together." They are a man, a hero. β
Zhang Hui walked over, bent down to pick up a sapper shovel scattered on the ground, and silently dug a pit.
Several other people also walked over and dug up in the salt crust ground.
Meng Xiaoshuai was next to the four eyes, crying whining. I walked over and looked, my eyes half-open, looking out into the endless darkness, and I whispered, "Come, let's bury it." β
Only Wu Min stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the corpses, and spoke again: "We are going to erect a tombstone for them." β
He finally spoke human.
But no one paid any attention to him.
He continued: "Wooden cups...... No, it should be a golden cup! No, it's supposed to be a cup of fire! No, it's supposed to be a dirt cup! Neither is it right...... Haha, it should be a water cup! Yes, yes, water glasses! What they need most here is water! β
I abruptly threw away the sapper shovel and rushed over in a few steps, smashing a punch on his forehead, and he leaned back and immediately covered his head.
I said, "Go and kill Guo Mei!" Then go to your employer and get the money! ΓYour mother, you have to look like a killer to be a killer, I really can't stand your shamelessness!" β
With that, I kicked and kicked him.
He had his back to me, hunched up, I kicked him, he took a step forward, I kicked him, he took another step forward, and screamed in an exaggerated way.
Cong Zhen hugged me from behind and dragged me away.
Wu Min turned around and yelled at me, "I'm not afraid of you!" Heaven descends on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't! Can you memorize it? β
I was completely desperate: "Hob meat, real hob meat ......"
Meng Xiaoshuai walked up to me and whispered, "I think about it, he is not really crazy, he is not fake crazy, he is half-truth." When a person reaches this point, he is basically wasted. β
I will no longer pay attention to Wu Min and continue to dig holes with everyone.
After we buried the four eyes, I said, "Four eyes, I'm sorry, we can't bury you with your master, we can't find him, if you have a spirit, go find it yourself, I'm sure you remember his taste." β
Meng Xiaoshuai's tears fell again.
Then, we buried the mountains of replicas.
Zhang Hui said: "Erect a monument for him? β
I said, "Nothing." β
Zhang Hui stopped talking.
I thought about it, and used the 9 sapper shovels to insert the word "righteousness" on the grave - 4 handfuls of a handful, 4 of a pinch, and the remaining one was exactly a point.
Everyone stood in silence with their heads bowed in front of the grave.
Then I said, "Let's go, go home." β
This time, I drove Meng Xiaoshuai's Hummer in front. Ji Feng sat next to me, Meng Xiaoshuai and Wu Min sat in the back seat, and Wu Min fell asleep.
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Boss Zhou, how far are we going?" β
I said, "From the map, we cut straight northwest from the lake and reach the Sun Tomb at least 250 kilometers. β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "We walked for an afternoon, and only seven or eight kilometers ......"
I said, "I'm also very curious, last time I took Monsoon and Linghu Mountain, from the lake, why did I arrive at the Sun Tomb so quickly......"
"I've heard a humanoid say that we've been going around a range of tens of kilometers," Monsoon said. β
I was taken aback.
How big is Lop Nur? Birds don't poop here, and no one has measured them accurately.
Usually speaking, 200,000 square kilometers only refers to the area of the ancient lake. Today, it has become a land of salt crusts, how big is the land of salt crusts?
Through the picture, if you use visual experience, maybe you can see that our running is meaningless-
A man stood on the desert and shrunk him to the size of a grain of rice, surrounded by an endless crust of salt.
A building towers over the desert, shrinking it to the size of a grain of rice, surrounded by an endless crust of salt.
A city sits on a desert that shrinks it to the size of a grain of rice, surrounded by an endless crust of salt......
After a moment of silence, I said, "The Sun Tomb we went to may not be the Sun Tomb in the real sense. β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Our direction is right, right? β
I said, "From the map, it's just northwest of that lake." β
Meng Xiaoshuai looked out through the car window and said, "Well, our direction now should be northwest." β
I said, "Not necessarily. β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Look at the sun." β
I said, "Linghu Mountain said that the sky here sometimes turns. β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "The sky ...... Will it turn? β
I said, "Most likely, that lake is also moving." β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I have goosebumps......
I said, "If you think about it from another angle, you won't be afraidβif you turn and take east for west, then the Big Dipper will run to the south, and the sky will be turned; If you go the wrong way and think you're home, but you can't find it, you'll think it's been moved......"
After dawn, we continued to drive waddling across the salt crust.
Finally, a loud "bang" was heard, and the Hummer was shocked and jumped.
I said, "I got a flat tire." β
I parked the car, got out of the car and checked, and all four wheels were fine.
Looking back, the off-road vehicle that Cong Zhen drove was parked 50 meters away, and the body was slightly tilted.
It turned out that his car had a flat tire.
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "It's really not powerful! β
I felt as grateful for the exploding wheel as I felt for the Four Eyes, which endured the sting of the sharp salt crust all the way through the night......
Meng Xiaoshuai and I walked over, helped Cong Zhen change into a spare tire, and threw the deflated wheel on the saltshell ground.
Then, we continued driving.
As we walked, the terrain in front of us suddenly rose, it was a huge earthen platform, and many of our vehicles were thrown under the earthen platform - it was an off-road vehicle left by me, Monsoon, and humanoid Linghushan, as well as an off-road vehicle and two trucks dropped by Meng Xiaoshuai, Wu Min, Zhang Hui, Bai Xinxin, Guo Mei, and the replicant Zhou Dedong.
Meng Xiaoshuai shouted: "Sun Tomb!" β
I wasn't pleasantly surprised, I don't know why, I felt like it was waiting for us on purpose, lacking kindness. And I don't think it's the tomb of the sun that archaeologists found.
The car drove close to the Sun Tomb and stopped.
I was the first to jump out of the car and climb up to take a look, and the stakes had been exposed to the sun for a long time, and most of them were dry and cracked. They are like children's drawings, clumsily radiating.
Two cars drove up from behind.
Everyone got out of the car.
I came down from the earthen platform and asked everyone to carry all the gas cylinders, fill a few flashlights, bring some food and water, and prepare to enter the Sun Tomb.
Bai Xinxin specially ran to look at the vehicles we discarded, and muttered: "It's a pity, so many cars can drive a small transportation company......
Then, he held up his mobile phone and waved it, and said to Meng Xiaoshuai: "Sister, come and take a picture for me!" β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "What is there to shoot? β
Bai Xinxin said: "This is the famous Sun Tomb! β
Meng Xiaoshuai walked over impatiently and took Bai Xinxin's mobile phone, Bai Xinxin stood under the tomb of the sun and made a very second gesture. Meng Xiaoshuai filmed him.
Bibi asked, "Car ...... Don't want it all? β
I said, "Super wide, limited traffic." β
Bibi said: "Old handsome guy, I just ran more than 10,000 kilometers! β
I said, "Let's take apart the parts and keep them as a souvenir." β
Bibi actually went back to the car, removed a reflector, and put it in her backpack.
Plus Meng Xiaoshuai's Hummer, Cong Zhen's off-road vehicle, Bibi's off-road vehicle, a total of 7 cars were thrown under the Sun Tomb!
After everyone climbed up the platform, Little 5 was a little excited and asked me, "Can we go out?" β
I didn't answer her, I looked in all directions, and couldn't find the dividing line between the Sun Tomb and the outside world. The Sun Tomb has a deep relationship with the outside world - with the Sun Tomb as the starting point, it is impossible to get out of Lop Nur in any direction. But as long as you get into it and choose the right passage, you can successfully get out of Lop Nur and return to the normal world......
I can probably remember where the entrance was, and I took everyone with me, carrying gas cylinders and backpacks, and went down.
A hole in the ground, much like a cellar in the countryside, we walked down for ten minutes and entered the circular hall. The pillars of light of the flashlight dangled around, and the whole hall was revealed, and the passages in all directions were black and mushy, as if waiting for us to guess the riddle.
A total of 12 channels.
Bibi looked around and whispered, "This place looks like a ...... The station. β
That's a very good saying.
I said, "This is a station, and we're a bunch of passengers, waiting here." We have to choose the right train, or we'll never go home......"
Wu Min hid behind Meng Xiaoshuai, peeked around, and suddenly said: "Passengers, due to weather conditions, all trains at this station are suspended, please find other ways to travel......
I said, "Meng Xiaoshuai, can you shut him up?" β
Meng Xiaoshuai turned his head and glared at Wu Min: "Shut your crow's mouth!" β
I found that the murals on those passages were gone, and each passage mouth was crookedly engraved with a word, which they were - lot, break, broad, Fujian, leisure, min, between, smell, flash, stuffy, ask, noisy.
Xiao 5 said, "Teacher Zhou, isn't this the plot of your novel?" Li Shaohong's "Door"! β
In such a strange place, hearing the three words of Li Shaohong, I felt very cordial, as if I heard a familiar name in a nightmare.
I looked at Bibi and said, "Bibi, it's up to you now, analyze it, which passage should we take?" β
There is no doubt that everyone has bet on Bibi.
He slowly circled, looking at the words carved on the mouths of the passages in turn, without saying a word......
