Looking back on the first season of "Ecstasy", the second season of "Replicants", and the third season of "Illusion"-
The 11 of us crossed Lop Nur and reached the hinterland of this land of death, and it was as if we had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and all the instruments and communication equipment were out of order, and we could not get out anyway.
Later, we met a second team, who came to look for us, and as a result, they met the same fate as us.
We began to look for a way out together.
We found that in this mysterious barren land, there is another branch of human beings - humanoids; In the deep sky, there are suspected aliens; In a mirage freshwater lake, a strange amphibious baby swims......
Moreover, we found that the sky of Lop Nur actually turns.
We seem to have entered a distorted time and space.
One after another, our teammates died, and every time someone died, a flower made of sand appeared next to the corpse, and it scattered at the touch of a touch.
In order to survive, we fought tenaciously and ran.
Eventually, the survivors finally saw the crowd and came to a small town. As we waited to leave, we found the town suspicious, and finally, it suddenly disappeared and we were back in the desert.
If we are caught up in a huge conspiracy, who is behind it?
We gradually realize that there is a white-haired woman who has always accompanied all her teammates in their lives, in their dreams, and in the images presented on various screens......
In the end, the humanoids wanted to wipe us out completely, and at the moment of life and death, they actually stopped, it turned out that we people all had the blood of their race in our bodies!
Actually, it was fate that brought us together in Lop Nur!
We are still struggling to return to human society.
We found the Tomb of the Sun, there are 12 passages underneath, and only one passage is correct. The entrances are engraved respectively - lot, break, wide, Fujian, leisure, min, between, smell, flash, stuffy, ask, noisy.
Some people chose "between", some people chose "smell", some people chose "ask", some people chose "boring", and some people chose "Fujian".
Choosing "between", from the passage returned to the Sun Tomb again. "Ri" means sun.
Those who chose to "smell" actually came out of the opposite end of Lop Nur's big ear - Easter Island, the other big ear of the earth.
Those who chose to "ask" actually drilled out of the mouth of the earth, the world-famous Bermuda Devil's Delta.
The whereabouts of the others are not yet known.
I was with my assistant Monsoon, and there were only two of us left on Lop Nur. Unexpectedly, we met our teammate who had defected to the humanoids, and the three of us were stationed by the mysterious freshwater lake, waiting for rescue......
So far, we've had 13 teammates dead -
Yiwu died, she was a Ph.D. girl, extremely pessimistic and misanthropic, she was the first to die, and died near the center of the lake. I put a sapper shovel on her grave, and Meng Xiaoshuai tied one of her gray shawls.
He died outside the number, and he was buried under the salt crust of Lop Nur with the miniature carving of the tomb map on his fingernails, and with his dream of making a fortune. I stuck a sapper shovel in his grave and tied my brick-red shirt. He dropped his dog's eyes.
Xuergo died, he was an announcer, he came to Lop Nur for love, but never left. His tomb and the outside of the trumpet were very close together. We put fragrant pears and naan on it, and it is estimated that it has been dried early.
Li Zhao is dead, he is we met halfway, this person is full of lies, we still don't know his true origin, and we are not sure if he is really called Li Zhao.
Zhang Hui is dead, it's a pity that he is so young a policeman. If anyone else is trying to cross Lop Nur, if you see a lonely sandbag with a few large rocks on it, then he is down there, please leave him a bottle of water.
Pawan died, a descendant of the Rob people, and was buried near the Yu Chunshun cemetery.
There are also Bubu, Wei Zao, Huang Xi, Zhou Zhidan, Jiang Mengxi - they were all buried in the Mourning Slope.
More people died near the lake - 1.5 kilometers to the southwest, there was the old man of the expedition team buried, and several large stones were placed on his grave. Half a kilometer away, there was a horse who came to rob the tomb, and next to him was his boss Lu Sanguo.
There is also a tomb by the lake where the juice is buried. I'm still not sure which one is a replicant, the one in the grave or the one who has defected to the humanoid.
Not far from the lake, there is a copy of me. I was stabbed to death by my father's own hands. Also buried my father, who was killed by humanoids. There was also a copy of me, also buried not far from the lake, and that one I had shot myself. So, this me is the original me now? Hell knows.
If we can get out of Lop Nur, if we revisit one day, we should still be able to find this lake, and by the way, we will mourn our teammates buried by the lake. And a lot of our teammates, we don't know where to bury them, or even the general direction......
On the outskirts of Kure.
An abandoned earthen house in a cellar.
There was a girl sitting in a corner of the cellar with her hands tied, a dirty towel in her mouth.
Opposite her, there was a dark and thin middle-aged man, dressed like a migrant worker, but with a very optimistic expression. The girl couldn't open her mouth, only the middle-aged man was speaking-
Hehe, you must be tempted to ask, who am I?
I'm the one in your neighborhood who picks up the rags.
This mud house is my home, oh, this cellar is my home to be exact. In the past, there was a pond nearby, but when it dried up, the fish farmers left, leaving behind this leaky mud house. I'm not a rat, so why do I sleep in the cellar? There's no air leaking inside.
I've been in Wucheng for 6 years. Recently, I have been making a living in your community.
Who shall not live? You say yes or no.
Due to the wind and sun, I look a little old and don't look like 44 years old. But it doesn't matter, I'm not a mouse, but I'm like a mouse, people in the city come and go, and no one pays attention to me.
I pedal my tricycle to your neighborhood twice a day: in the morning after everyone goes to work and leaves, and at midnight before everyone goes to bed. During these two times, all the garbage cans were stuffed to the brim, like a grain hoard for a good harvest, which filled my heart with joy.
I opened the plastic garbage bags and carefully rummaged through the contents, and each time something new was foundβa broken mouse, a photograph torn into several pieces, a bloody sanitary napkin, a discarded old magazine......
Picking up garbage every day, I don't have much fun, I sometimes feel empty and lonely, so I unilaterally made a friend, yes, Friend.
Don't be careful, it's not you, it's one of your neighbors.
Over time, through the garbage he threw away, I got to know him better and better, even more than his parents.
Through the courier's box, I knew that his name was Bai Sha and he lived in Unit 1, Unit 602, Building 32, and that the house was rented by him. I also know his cell phone number.
By piecing together a broken medical checklist, I know that he was born on November 4, 1987, Scorpio, blood type O, 1.76 meters tall and weighs 74.5 kilograms. Hearing is good, eyesight is good, suffering from rhinitis.
From one X-ray he lost, I knew that he had a slightly curved fibula in his left leg.
Through his lunch box, I know he likes meat, shiitake mushrooms and potatoes with a salty taste (don't ask me how I know that). The staple food is mainly rice, and noodles are never eaten.
Through the supermarket receipts, I knew that he loved to drink and did not smoke. Basically no snacks.
Through the receipt from the ATM, I knew that he was an ICBC card and had his card number.
By repairing a faulty USB flash drive, I know that he drives a black car to do work, and the monthly income is enough for me to pick up 6 months of rags; I know he loves spy dramas and is crazy about women's panties; I know that he has a girlfriend who works as a waitress in the housekeeping department of the Blue Sky Hotel, and she lives in the same neighborhood as Baisha......
By looking at his window, I know that he doesn't go to bed until after 1 o'clock every night.
By observing the time he came in and out, I knew that he always went out at noon and came back in the middle of the night. He doesn't like sports, he doesn't like to raise flowers. From some of the photocopies he lost, I knew that he had three ID cards, and the photos were of the same person, but with different names and different addresses. However, after analysis, I think his real household registration should be in Kunming......
He doesn't know me, but I know him.
Sometimes, when I meet him in the community, I can't help but greet him: Baisha, go to work?
Without squinting, he got on his bike and left.
At about 1 o'clock that night, he returned. I knew he was going to a friend's wedding today, and in the morning, he threw out a sticky note with a memo in the trash.
When he came home, I was dismantling a chair with a broken leg next to the garbage can, and I noticed that he had drunk too much and walked staggeringly. I tried to go up and hold him, but he didn't look at me, and he staggered past me.
I was worried that my friend wouldn't be able to find the door, so I quietly followed him.
He had drunk too much, and as soon as he had climbed to the second floor, he sat down on the stairs with his head against the wall and muttered something in his mouth.
I showed up, helped him up, and said, "Get up, go home." β
He looked at me drunkenly and blinked slowly, "Who are you?" β
I said, "I am your neighbor." β
He nodded and said, "Well, I know you, you're a kind person!" β
Then, with his support, I climbed up to the 6th floor with great difficulty and came to the door of 602.
He began to dig for the keys, but could not find them. I held him with one hand and helped him find it with the other, and finally I touched it, I opened the door, put him in, put him on the bed, and soon, he was snoring.
Well, I did what I had to do for my friend, and it was time to go.
β¦β¦ No, I didn't leave.
I'm worried about my friend, what if he gets drunk and jumps out of the window after I leave?
Thereupon...... So I tied him to the bed.
That's right, I tied him up.
Why should I tie him up? Because I know that he has hidden a sum of ill-gotten gain, enough for me to pick up the rags until I die. He came to Wucheng to hide.
Speaking of which, I shouldn't have kidnapped my friend. But when did he admit that I was his friend?
After a while, when he wakes up, if he doesn't tell the bank card password, I'll break him into pieces, carry him out, and throw him in the garbage dump, as I did the previous times. Actually, if a person dies, he is garbage.
I waited until the wee hours of the morning and he was still asleep. I had no choice but to wake him up with cold water. He was stupid when he saw a stranger standing in front of him.
Counting his acquaintance, he happily said his bank card password. However, he asked me, "I just want to know, who are you?" Why do I see you so familiar? β
I didn't hide it either, and told him with a smile: "Hehe, I'm the one in your neighborhood who picks up rags." β
Tied to the cellar is Bai Sha's girlfriend Mihoko, who is about to get married.
She couldn't speak.
The one who picked up the rags squatted across from her, always muttering alone. Finally, he stopped talking.
The rice ears writhed a few times.
Picking up the rags, he reached out and gently pulled out the towel.
Misuiko opened her numb mouth a few times, and asked tremblingly, "Then why did you kidnap me!" β
The scavenger said, "This question should be asked in a moment, and you should ask me now, did I get the money?" β
Yonhoko didn't speak, just looked at him.
He himself said: "I got it, I left the money to my son. β
Yonehoko asked again, "What does this have to do with me?" I have no grievances with you, why did you kidnap me? β
The one who picked up the rags said, "I want to introduce you to a boyfriend." β
Mihoko didn't trust him at all, and she twisted her body a few times: "Did you introduce your boyfriend like that!" β
The one who picked up the rags said, "I know, you like Baisha a lot, if I don't do this, will you be so well-behaved?" β
Misui was vigilant: "Who are you going to introduce?" You...... Myself? β
Picking up the rags and laughing: "I know, your mother just introduced you to a boyfriend who is about the same age as me." I don't blame you for being angry, I don't think it's appropriate, it's just two generations! How would I introduce myself? I'm introducing you to my son, and you can rest assured, he's a very nice boy. β
Yonhoko said, "He...... Where is it? β
Picking up the rags, he didn't smile, stared at Mi Suizi's eyes, and said very seriously: "Lop Nur." β
Mi Suizi asked in surprise: "That Lop Nur in Xinjiang?" β
The one who picked up the rags said, "Yes." β
Yonehoko said, "Isn't there no one in that place?" β
The one who picked up the rags said, "Yes, there is no one." β
Yonehoko said, "Then why is your son there?" β
The one who picked up the rags said, "We are humanoids." β
Yonehoko: "Humanoid...... Who is it? β
The one who picked up the rags said, "People who look like people." β
Yonhoko shuddered, staring at her eyes and unable to speak.
The one who picked up the rags said, "You think I'm crazy, don't you?" You're wrong, I'm normal. Wherever there is no one, we exist, for example, snow-capped mountains above 8,000 meters; For example, the Shennongjia primeval forest; Let's say, Lop Nur no man's land ......"
Yonehoko said, "Savage? Snowman? Bigfoot? β
The pick-up laughed: "Look at these names you guys!" Pretty much. By the way, I'll have to tell you what my son's name is - his name is Baozhu. β
Misui came soft: "You let me ...... Think about it, okay? β
The scavenger said, "No, we'll leave now and let you meet him." β
Yonhoko said, "So far...... Can you let me go home and get ready first? β
The man who picked up the rags said, "It's not far at all, you don't need to prepare anything." β
Misui was about to cry: "Thousands of kilometers! β
Picking up the rags said mysteriously: "To tell you a secret, there is an invisible passage between Wucheng and Lop Nur, like the two ends of a seesaw, which is turned over with a single press. β
Yonehoko asked, "Where is it?" β
The one who picked up the rags said, "You'll know in a moment." Let's go. β
After saying that, he pulled the ears of rice up.
Yonhoko yelled, "Let go of me!" β
Pick up the rags and ignore her, and force her out.
On the ground, Mihoko's mobile phone was left behind, and it was on the phone - she dialed her mother's number.
