In the dim world, the yellow sand flying in the sky blocks the view, and it is difficult to see ahead, so you can only walk forward with difficulty by feeling. Every step into the sand is heavy, even frightening. No one knows what lies ahead, or even what is under their feet, so they can only take one step at a time.

"Hold on for a while, and the dust will pass."

The two people walking in front and back were covered with strips of cloth and clothes on their heads, making it difficult to make out the voices of the voices, and the people behind them could not hear what the people in front of them were saying, and even if they agreed, they could not hear them. I could only silently follow behind me and continue to walk in the wind and sand.

This gust of wind has been blowing for a long, long time, and I feel that my body has been covered with sand, tired and heavy, and I don't know how long I can hold on.

Gradually, the wind subsided, and the sand in front of me began to disperse, revealing the color of dusk.

The two of them stopped, tore off the strip of cloth covering their faces, and tried to catch a good breath, but they took a mouth full of sand.

"Ahem, ahem."

The woman in the back coughed desperately, and the man in front turned around and patted her on the back: "If you persist in persisting, maybe you will be able to find a place to stay." ”

"Hmm." The woman nodded obediently and continued with him.

I don't know how many miles I walked, but I finally saw a black object in front of me.

"It looks like a house...... "The woman quickened two steps, trying to see if it was really a house.

"Be careful." The man carefully protected her behind him, "Don't be reckless if you can't see clearly." ”

"Oh." The woman stepped back strangely.

The man took a knife from his waist and held it in front of him to guard against danger.

They walked slowly step by step, until they noticed that the black object in front of them had changed, as if it was writhing. The man's footsteps slowed even more until it became clear that the black thing was a sculpture, half of it was buried in the sand, and that the writhing illusion was none other than a snake wrapped around it.

"Snake ......" The woman's voice was suppressed in her throat, and as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and looked at the man.

The man watched the snake closely, and although it was coiled on top of the sculpture, it moved slowly, not even noticing that two people were watching it. It has a lot of loess sticking to its body, some of which are already blackened, and it seems to have mucus attached to its body, causing it to move slowly.

The man carefully detoured to the back and sniffed it, and sure enough, it was covered in gasoline.

"What's wrong?" The woman asked in a whisper.

The man glanced ahead, and although he was not sure, he should be able to guess: "There must be a car around here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his knife and stabbed it neatly under the snake's head, only to see it twitch, but because of its slimy body, it did not fall off the sculpture.

The man removed the snake from above, wrapped a strip of cloth around his neck, wrapped it around his hand, and then gently cut open the snake's belly with a knife and peeled off its skin. In order to prevent the wind and sand from entering the snake's meat, they covered it with their bodies and couldn't wait to immediately put the cut meat into their mouths.

The two of them, who had been hungry for a long time, could finally fill their empty stomachs. But instead of eating it all, they cut off the rest of the meat, wrapped it in the cloth, and moved on.

"Are you going to find a car?" The woman asked.

"Yes." The man replied.

"Can I drive the car if I find it?"

"Not necessarily." The man replied, "But there must be a building near the car." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to spot a car stuck in the sand in front of them, which had become a black frame. The man took a cursory glance, and to their right, there was really a black blur of shadows. They hurriedly ran to the side, and it turned out to be a store.

The woman was overjoyed, thinking that there would be a lot of daily necessities for them to use, but the man did not think so: "It has been abandoned for so long, and the contents have long been looted, don't count on it." ”

"Okay."

The man walked around the place and found a piece of smashed glass, which must have been the place where people had been in and out before, and the sand outside had also invaded through this gap, staining the house with its footprints everywhere.

The man took the woman's hand and cautiously walked in, and they examined it inside, and sure enough, it had been swept away, leaving them with no supplies.

The woman sighed in disappointment, and the man came to her side to comfort her: "It's okay, at least you can still shelter from the wind and sand here." ”

The woman glanced at the outside world, and the earth had turned crimson, a sign of sunset.

"Tonight, we're going to spend the night here?"

"yes, it's better than spending the night outside eating sand."

"Hmm."

The woman nodded, trying to find a better place to settle each other, when suddenly she tripped over something under her feet and fell into the sand.

Luckily, there is a thick layer of sand on the ground, so it doesn't hurt when you fall.

"What is it?" The woman stood up and patted the dust off her body.

The man dug through the sand where she tripped and found a water bottle!

"Is it water? Is there water? The woman cried out in surprise.

The man picked up the cake, but he had some difficulty, and when he pulled it hard, he dragged up a white bone......

The woman took a few steps back in fright, but quickly regained her composure and returned to the man, who was more concerned about whether there was still water in the bottle.

The man shook the cup a few times, as if he heard a few clanging waters, and both of them were overjoyed. The man unscrewed the mouth of the bottle, sniffed inside, there was no pungent smell, and then dipped a little with his fingers, licked it carefully, it was colorless and odorless, it should be water.

"Water? Is it water? The woman couldn't hold back her excitement and asked desperately.

"Yes."

The man picked up the bottle, tasted it, and gave it to the woman, who couldn't wait to drink it, raised her head, and the mouth of the bottle was on top, even if there was no water, she was reluctant to put it down, still waiting for if there was still a drop, and another drop.

As night fell, the surroundings darkened.

The man and woman leaned against one corner, listening through the glass to the sound of the wind whistling outside, another round of wind and sand, but fortunately there was glass to shield them. In the gap on the other floor, there was a constant sound of rustling, which was the continuous influx of wind and sand. Even though they are far away from the gap, they can still feel the sand around them getting higher and higher, and their feet are gradually buried in the sand, which is the thick quilt, giving them a touch of alternative warmth.

In the middle of the night, even the wind was much gentler.

The woman was already asleep soundly resting on the man's shoulder, unaware that her body had gradually sunk into the sand...... Suddenly feeling a burst of breathlessness, the woman woke up and found that she had been buried in the sand. Quickly pulled his upper body out of the sand, but found that there was only sand around him, and there was no trace of the man.

The woman began to look for it in a hurry, and after her eyes got used to the darkness, she could vaguely see something clearly, and compared with the sand, people should be deeper...... It's just that she remembers that the man should be by her side, why can't she touch it now?

The sudden nervousness made her sense of hearing more sensitive, as if she had vaguely heard the sound of Suosuo, sha-sha-sha-, and so on, obviously, but very softly.

She tried to pull her lower body out of the sand, but found that her legs were very heavy.

The woman hurriedly broke the sand from her legs with her hand, but accidentally touched something, and she was so frightened that she retracted her hand...... If you look closely, what else will it be?

She put her hand back, carefully silently brushing the smooth stuff in the sand...... A long one wrapped around her leg, round and round...... Feeling the warmth of her palm, the thing actually moved, wrapping her legs tighter......

Snake?

The woman is suddenly alert!

She quickly threw up her legs, trying to break free, but the sound of "zi-la-zi-la-" kept coming from her ears, and there seemed to be such sounds all around, and the more she moved, the closer those voices got closer to her.

She wanted to use the wall to lean herself up, and perhaps, perhaps, find a shelf to temporarily isolate herself from the ground......

Just as she was thinking about something, the sounds suddenly disappeared, and the snake that wrapped around her feet seemed to loosen, and she easily pulled herself out of the sand, and stood up, looking suspiciously at the empty and quiet surroundings...... Is it a hallucination?

She walked a few steps against the wall, and was just about to tentatively call out to a man, when suddenly she heard some sounds on the shelves in front of her.

"Bang, bang."

Like something about to break......

The woman followed the prestige, as if something was moving on the shelf. She thought it was a man, but it didn't move like a human being...... It seemed to be a long, no, huge snake, and it was moving its thick body, pressing heavily on the shelves, making the shelves constantly make "pop, pop" sounds.

In an instant, the woman felt the blood all over her body stop flowing, her limbs shivered with cold, and the tense nerves in her brain were about to separate her soul from her body......

The snake's eyes shone in the darkness, and at once it noticed the woman, and its long tongue rubbed against the side of its mouth to make a "hissing" sound, which made people feel creepy to hear.

It began to move slowly towards the woman, who was leaning against the wall, unable to move, unable to figure out which way she could escape. But what about men? Where did the man go?

"Huh~Huh~" It seems that the wind is starting to come from somewhere, it is the wind coming from the gap, and the woman can tell which direction it is, and maybe she can take the opportunity to move over and escape from here.

So, she lifted her steps, accelerated to the wind, and after two or three steps, she tripped over something, and at once she threw herself on the sand, and ate a mouthful of sand.

Why is there a stumbling thing on the ground again?

And the wind outside seemed to take away a cloud in the sky, magically bringing a glimmer of light, such a scene is not impossible, but it is too rare.

The woman got up from the ground, and the moonlight poured right in, and the sand glistened in the moonlight, but there was a black figure buried in the sand.

"Ahh The woman suddenly became alert, it was a man!

She quickly picked up the sand, it was him! Five or six snakes slowly spread out from the man's body, especially one coiled around the man's neck, greedily moving his body away, revealing the man's face, only black and white.

In the moonlight, the woman looked at the man's already distorted facial features, his wide eyes were full of sand grains, and his mouth was stuffed with sand, which could no longer be closed, and let out a silent cry......

The woman only felt that her nose was sore, and her eyes suddenly moistened.

But she had no tears to shed.

The man's hand was still at his waist, and he clutched the knife tightly, but the snake had already seen it all, and wrapped his hand tightly around him without the slightest breath.

The woman tried to remove the knife from his waist, but the man's stiff hand gripped the hilt, and she didn't have enough strength to part...... However, at this moment she had to exert herself and had to take it out.

"Hiss, hiss" The python was approaching, and the woman could feel its voice getting closer and closer, and at this moment, she shouted "Ah-" separating the knife from the man's hand, and with improper force, the knife flew up and landed on the sand not far away.

However, the knife was closer to the snake.

If you want to pick it up, you have to get close to the snake.

The giant snake was scary, but its body was also bulky, crawling off the shelves, and then wriggling and swimming towards the woman.

Women realize that at this time, they must not be timid, let alone afraid. So she slowly untied her coat and threw it at the other side of the knife, and the snake's attention was quickly attracted, and the moment she turned her head, the woman immediately rolled sideways to it and picked up the knife.

Compared to the snake's huge body, the knife is nothing at all, and it may not even stab it in the inside, but the woman can try to aim the knife at it and quickly cut it from one side.

Yes, make a cut at its skin.

At this moment, there is no need to hesitate!

A woman's strength may not be the greatest, but she is agile enough, especially after taking off her heavy coat, her body is lighter.

When the serpent felt the pain in its body and changed its state, the woman jumped to the other side of it, and continued to cut its skin with a knife, tormenting it repeatedly.

It may be massive, but its body is also limited here, far less petite and light than a woman's body.

She quickly moved away from the serpent and hid on the shelves, and the serpent quickly moved back and swooped at her. When the woman saw the snake enter the shelves, she immediately jumped up, pulled the two shelves closer with her hands and feet, trapped the giant snake in the shelves, and then took the opportunity to escape......

The moment she escaped from the store, a cold swept through her body, but she couldn't think about the problem of cold and warmth, and just wanted to escape from here quickly.

"Ahh Suddenly, something got wrapped around her feet, and in a panic, she was dragged to the ground.

It's a snake! A snake entangled her feet, she picked up a knife and cut off the snake, but she didn't expect countless snakes to suddenly burst out of the yellow sand, their agile bodies, quickly wrapped around her feet again, no matter how many she cut, they kept popping up and entangled......

By the time she could hold on any longer, the snakes had wrapped around her body, around her arms, and dragged her body into the sand.

The woman could not resist, her hands had been tightened, and it was difficult for her to breathe, and the snake cooperated so well that it wrapped around its limbs and tightened its neck...... The woman couldn't scream, her frightened eyes stared at the black-gray sky, and those floating dark clouds were about to hide the rare moon in the blink of an eye.

The world is about to fall into darkness again, and the wind and sand seem to be coming back again......
