Chapter 584: Back then
Unlike others, Gu Baotian didn't panic at all, he just looked at Hua Fei stupidly, without any consciousness of rushing over to grab his backpack, and he didn't even make some small movements.
This situation has also been encountered by Hua Hu before.
Only people who have a mortal mentality, and who have no thoughts about the past in life, will have such a reaction.
But now she can't take care of that much, since Gu Baotian doesn't care about her memories being snatched away, so Hua Fei sat on the treetop opposite him without any scruples, she quickly opened her backpack and kept rummaging through Gu Baotian's previous memories from there.
Because of the time constraints, Hua Hu could only skim his recent memories. She saw Gu Baotian's hidden community, saw the sand field where he was digging sand, saw him preparing for classes in the middle school on Jiangxin Island, saw him studying in a certain school, and saw him reading at night.
The picture flashed again, and Hua Hu saw the Sarekole Ridge, where Gu Baotian and the five of them were struggling to survive - Shen Yu's previous judgment was not wrong, there were only five people in the picture of Sarekole Ridge from beginning to end, and there was no so-called "master" and "little six" at all.
The Sarekole people are making up stories, and they have spent years telling a story that is not flawed.
The picture flashed again, and Hua Hu finally saw the dry goods.
Gu Baotian and the other four people trekked along a barren river valley, wearing stars and moons. He stood occasionally, looking back at the end of the galaxy.
Hua Yan tried hard to dial the animation again, and she finally saw the scene she wanted to see.
A desert appeared in Gu Baotian's field of vision, and next to him was a caravan and several people in army green tunics, all of whom were more or less patched on their clothes.
Hua Fei didn't have time to count the number of people, because she soon saw two men with glasses walking at the front of the group. Both of them are polite and polite, and the middle-aged man among them looks like Wen Tingxu's father, Wen Mushan.
The people of Sarekole were temporary workers of the Western Nights archaeological team, and it seems that the previous judgment was not wrong.
In this group of people, Hua Fei also recognized Shang Weimin and Wu Dabao when they were young.
Sure enough, the people who died in various ways were members of the temporary workers of the archaeological team. What happened to them to be killed by the faceless man?
Hua Fei dialed the face again, and she saw a ruin.
Maybe it was because the quicksand hadn't been so raging back then, and the ruins looked twice as big as the ones she had seen in her recent archaeology.
There are many ruins and broken walls in the ruins, but there is obviously no "Five Finger Mountain" that has been seen before.
Hua Hu only saw the group of temporary workers lying crookedly in the shadow of the wall, and they were sleeping soundly. And right next to them, Wen Mushan and Fei Tang were sweating like rain, and they used shovels to hoe layer by layer to open the yellow sand on the ancient city.
Gu Baotian was obviously climbing on the wall, he finally stood on top of the city wall, and then he looked around with the falling sunset on his back.
The surrounding area is still a vast desert, but not far from the ruined city, there is a small oasis, and there is a crescent moon spring in the oasis, which is rippling with clear water, like jade in the desert.
Gu Baotian ran down with a snort, his hands shaking in front of him, he pointed to the high place, and was shouting something to the temporary worker brothers.
Everyone rushed to the city wall that had collapsed intermittently, and even Wen Mushan and Fei Tang were alarmed. They ran to the highest point of the ancient city and looked into the distance with Gu Baotian's hand.
Hua Fei also looked in the direction, there was an oasis, and she also vaguely saw that there seemed to be two large black holes under the water of the crescent lake, which reminded people of the sea eye that could lead to the ground.
She quickly scribbled, Gu Baotian and the others had already dived into the water of the Crescent Lake, they were standing on the edge of the two sea eyes, groping for something to the side - it seemed that they were not springs, but two deep caves.
On the other side, the entire archaeological team was mobilized, and under the command of Wen Mushan, they were digging a ditch, preparing to divert the water of Crescent Lake into a sunken sand pit two hundred meters away.
Hua Fei continued to watch, only to see that these people dug the dam to intercept the Crescent Lake, and the water of the Crescent Lake slowly flowed out, flowing through the dry desert, and finally only forming a small puddle in the sand pit, most of which seeped into the boundless sea of sand.
Wen Mushan, Fei Tang and the temporary workers climbed to the top of the two sea eyes, and they cleaned up the surrounding sludge, and the whole picture around them was gradually revealed.
It was a ring of hard white stone. The area of the stone is large, as if it were a whole rock - this looks more like a free-standing rock than a mountain peak rising from the ground.
This massive rock is rare and only found in a handful of places – Ayers Rock, Orgas Stonehenge in Australia, and Zuma Rock in Nigeria. The stones are like visitors from the sky, they fall on the bare surface, out of step with the surrounding terrain, like styrofoam floating on the surface of the earth's crust.
However, this desert boulder is not that big, it looks only twenty meters long and ten meters wide. Workers stand on top of boulders and try to clean up the surrounding area. Gu Baotian was out of breath, he kept using a shovel to remove the sludge from the stones, and threw it into the distance one by one.
The soil of the sludge is also strange, not like the loose sand of the desert, but slimy, like the clay used to build walls.
Gu Baotian retreated while removing the mud, but he suddenly slipped under his feet and rolled directly into the sludge under the stone, and the whole person fell into it.
Everyone shouted and dragged him out, and Gu Baotian lay on the rock, his chest kept rising and falling, and he seemed to be breathing violently.
Fei Tang walked over, he pointed towards the city wall, meaning to ask Gu Baotian to wash his face and change his clothes.
Like the illusion where Gu Baotian's yin body was located, he couldn't hear a single sound in his memory.
A young man stood up, he was probably Xiao Wolf, he took Gu Baotian in his arms, went to the puddle first, and helped him clean the sludge on his body. Then the two men walked up to the city wall, ready to go to the temporary camping place to change their clothes.
Gu Baotian seemed to be frightened, and his pace was very slow. The two of them finally climbed to the shade under the city wall, and at this moment, Xiao Wolfzi suddenly shook his arm vigorously. Gu Baotian saw that he was pointing down excitedly, as if he was yelling something.
He also looked in the direction that Xiao Wolfzi was pointing.
What appeared in front of his eyes was still the clean-up site of Crescent Lake.
But what appeared in front of him was no longer a boulder, no longer two black caves.
It was a huge skull, not a statue, but a real giant skull. To humans, it looked like a fortress, lying coldly at the bottom of the Crescent Lake, with two black eye holes facing the distance empty and hideous.
Gu Baotian's feet trembled, and the whole picture shook with it. Probably frightened, he rolled straight down the slope of the city wall.
Hua Yan looked at the huge skull and couldn't help but gasp.
