Chapter XXVII: The Ship of Theseus

Chapter XXVII

"We should stop her."

After Hong Coriander walked into the black fog and disappeared, Hu Qi muttered a little distractedly.

Zheng Nannan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as we don't die first, it won't be long before Hong coriander will appear." ”

Hu Qiu's eyes were a little straight, as if asking Zheng Nannan, and as if asking himself: "Is that still the Hong coriander I know?" ”

Counting the Hong coriander who set off together from the dead city, they have already seen three Hong coriander one after another.

If nothing else, the reason for each Hong Coriander to come here and the experience along the way should be the same, that is, except for the different timelines, the rest are exactly the same.

The mummy, Hong Coriander, and the Hong Coriander who had just entered the black fog were no different from the Hong Coriander who left the dead city first, from the inside out.

The only difference is that the mummy Hong Coriander should have arrived earlier than Zheng Nannan and his party, she had already experienced a black fog terror and seen things that Zheng Nanfang had not yet encountered.

Zheng Nannan suddenly had a ridiculous idea.

"Lao Hu, if I say that I have a way to save Hong Xiangcai...... Zheng Nannan said halfway, then looked at Tang Garlic and Shu Onion, and continued: "What do you think about being able to save Hong Xiangcai and Li Qingjiao?" ”

Hu Qi, Tang Garlic, and Shu Onion looked at each other, vaguely thinking of something.

"To tell you the truth, I'm dizzy in my head right now, and your theory of time confusion has killed most of my brain cells, if you think of something again, then just say it, don't let me guess it."

Hu Qi took a hard puff of cigarette, and in the darkness, the spark suddenly lit up and then dimmed and extinguished.

Tang Garlic had the brightest brain, and he had already guessed his thoughts according to Zheng Nannan's theory.

Zheng Nannan smiled, observed the expressions of several people, and said, "We can go back to Shengrou Town and stop this operation before everyone leaves." ”

"You mean...... Do we stop ourselves ourselves? Hu was stunned and hesitated: "Then there will be two of us in the future?" ”

Tang Garlic's face turned a little pale, and he said in a low voice: "No, what the boss means is that we can replace ourselves." ”

Shu Onion and Shaman felt a little chill in their backs, and looked at Zheng Nannan in disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that, I just said that, and I didn't say I had to do it." Zheng Nannan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said helplessly: "What I can't figure out now is that we are obviously not the first team to come here, so where did we go before?" ”

The crowd was speechless, trying to diverge their thinking to construct the picture that Zheng Nannan said.

"With our team as the time coordinates, let's assume that the mummy Hong Coriander and the Laili I saw in the sandstorm are the previous batch of people, and the Hong Coriander just now is the group of people after us."

"If nothing else, in another hour, we'll be here in the next batch."

"But where did we go in the last batch?"

"Dead? Or in the black fog? ”

"Why did Hong Coriander become like that in the black mist, while Laili appeared in the sandstorm?"

Zheng Nannan explained the problem and asked questions at the same time, which made several people sober up for a while and confused for a while, and they didn't understand what Zheng Nannan wanted to express.

Tang Garlic, who had been silent, coughed lightly and frowned, "There is one more detail." ”

"Huh? You said. ”

Tang Garlic bit her lip and said hesitantly, "Last night, when we asked the injured Sister Hong a question in the tent...... Didn't you two check Sister Hong's injuries? ”

"Well, what's wrong with that?" Hu Qiu still remembers this vividly, that kind of trauma is very terrifying, not to mention Hong Xiangcai's delicate body, even if it is placed on him, it is estimated that it will be wasted.

Tang Garlic glanced at Zheng Nannan and said, "Boss, do you remember that on the first night we went to Raw Meat Town, we met people like Sister Hong." ”

Of course, Zheng Nannan remembered that he remembered it when he saw the bandages on Hong Xiangcai's body, but he didn't say anything.

Tang Garlic continued: "At that time, the three of us were far away and didn't see the specific details, boss, did you find anything at that time?" ”

"Trauma is similar." Zheng Nannan nodded, remembering the guy he killed last.

"So, connect everything that happened in the fishing ground, and then think back to the situation that day......" Tang Garlic swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said with difficulty: "Is it possible that those three people are some of the three people in the last batch of us, and they came to us at that time, maybe they just wanted to give us some hints?" Or, as Brother Hu said, stop us? ”

The boss who stared at him was surprised: "You met on the first night?" And then what? Did I tell you anything? ”

Zheng Nannan shook his head regretfully: "No, the situation was complicated at that time, I thought they were here to provoke, so I ......"

"Huh? What are you doing? Hu asked him.

Tang Garlic pursed his lips and raised his hand to wipe his neck.

Shu Onion also remembered Zheng Nannan's demeanor that day, and thought that Zheng Nanfang might have killed one of them, and couldn't help but shudder.

"In this case, our team is more than lucky." Sharman doesn't know what happened on the first night in Raw Meat Town, but through the descriptions of several people at different stages, and then piecing these images together, the situation becomes much clearer.

Tang Garlic nodded when he heard this, and a sense of worry about the uncertain future arose.

"Sister Hong encountered danger in the black fog; Laili saved the boss in the sandstorm and helped us to the fishing grounds; Those three people are in Raw Meat Town, trying to remind us to stop us. ”

Tang Garlic took out a pen and paper from his bag, listed the situations analyzed now, and frowned: "Full of calculations, there are only five people in the last batch...... Our group of people, Sister Hong and Laili have all disappeared in the black fog, and now we are left. ”

"Meaning... Let's ...... this group" Shu Onion shuddered, his eyes swept over the group of gunmen who were still in danger behind him, and muttered, "Only three people can return to Raw Meat Town alive?" ”

For a while, the atmosphere was extremely heavy, and unknown dangers could still be adapted, but if everything was a certainty, it was not so easy to accept mentally.

"Not necessarily." Zheng Nannan shook his head and said, "So far, the only constant in the cycle is only our group of people, and the other trends are not static. ”

"You're saying we can play freely?" Hu Qiu finally kept up with the rhythm of everyone's thinking, licked his lips and said, "That's right, we have the initiative now, and there is no need to do the same thing as the previous team." ”

"Well, so there's a lot we can do." Zheng Nannan drew a circle on the ground, then nodded a few dots, and said, "Aside from the previous group of people, let's take us as the starting point...... First put the group of people in the back, wipe them all out, and then return to Raw Meat Town, and when we gather again, we will wipe ourselves out, and we will replace them in and survive. ”

"It's not easy to do." Hu Qi raised an objection and said: "One or two people are easy to replace, there are so many of us, how can we be perfectly seated without alarming others?" ”

Halfway through his words, Hu Qi suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at Zheng Nannan and said, "There must be no play, don't say anything else, can you beat yourself?" ”

Zheng Nannan was stunned.

"Hahaha." Hu Xiaoxiao's shoulders twitched, he spat out a cigarette, and said: "Just your evil energy, this friend for a while, that friend for a while, let alone replace, I estimate that there is a high chance that you will be killed by yourself." ”

Zheng Nannan was speechless, calculated various possibilities, and finally reluctantly agreed with Hu Qi's statement, and said: "Then I can't help it, or let's commit suicide collectively and leave the opportunity to the next batch of us." ”

"Huh? Wait a minute? A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Tang Garlic's mind, and he exclaimed, "Why don't we make some warnings?" ”

"What?" Everyone asked in unison.

Tang Garlic waved the pen and paper in his hand and said, "Since you say that this cycle has no fixed pattern, then why do you have to live or die?" We can leave some messages around or inside the fishing ground to remind ourselves, at least don't let them enter the black fog again, don't go deep into the fishing ground! ”

"If we were to see this kind of information when we came, would you choose to believe it?" Zheng Nannan asked rhetorically.

Tang Garlic choked for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "We can leave some secrets that no one can understand except ourselves, so it's always okay, right?" Even if you are skeptical, it will serve as a warning. ”

"What are you doing all this work for?" Hu Qi snorted, didn't understand Tang Garlic's little girl's thoughts, pointed to the direction of the fishing ground, and said, "Won't you blow up the entrance?" ”

"Then you might as well push it a little further." Shu Onion's emotions were mobilized, he thought of various possibilities, and also gave his own thoughts: "Let's block the road in front of the dead city, so that the green pepper will not die." ”

The discussion was in full swing, the gunners were drowsy, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the sound of the convoy was finally heard outside the fishing grounds.

The next group of teams has arrived, but Zheng Nannan and the others have not yet discussed the reason.

"What should I do?" Tang Garlic looked at Zheng Nannan.

"Let's hide and see what they do, and if it's exactly the same way we did yesterday, then let's shoot them in the back." Zheng Nannan made up his mind, since the two Zheng Nannan were exactly the same, it was enough to leave one.

"What if it's different?" Hu asked him.

"Let's talk about it."

The sound of talking had already sounded in the first line of the sky, Zheng Nannan whistled, and the team all drilled into the first line of heaven and hid in the corners.

Zheng Nannan and Shaman hid in a small mountain col, separated by boulders from the path they had passed yesterday, and it was not easy to be spotted.

While holding his breath and waiting, Shaman touched Zheng Nannan's arm.

"Huh?"

"I don't understand."

"Don't understand what?"

Shaman bit his lip and said in a low voice: "I don't understand why you have to focus on replacing or not replacing after you have been discussing for a long time?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? This time, Zheng Nannan was stunned, wondering if he had missed something.

Shaman's expression was strange, and he muttered: "Anyway, we are not dead, the lower city is still this lower city, so why don't we pat our butts and leave?" Why do you have to fight yourself here? ”
