Chapter 309: Origin
"Are you sure this is left by the Golden Seal?"
"I'm sure." Qi Huaimei's fingers lightly swiped the wall: "This word looks like 'walking', if the horizontal below is shorter, isn't it like 'specialized'?" ”
After Qi Huaimei explained, several people began to talk nonsense.
"Let's go? Is the Golden Seal the way for us? ”
"Nope. I think he's telling us not to enter these three passages, he's telling us to get out of this place quickly! ”
"If we don't keep going, how are we going to get out of this hellish place?"
"We can't leave, Professor Gu, they're all in! I finally have their clues, how can I leave now? ”
Several people argued, Xie Lai came to Ye Qing's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go?" ”
Ye Qing just opened his eyes.
"Let's go." Ye Qing and the three of them walked into the middle passage.
"Don't talk about it, you guys keep up!" Qi Huaimei called a few people, and everyone followed Ye Qing.
After entering the passage, they entered a labyrinth.
At first, several people were cautious and followed closely behind Ye Qing and the others, and two days later, everyone was tired and hungry, and they followed weakly.
Ye Qinghe Shi Yin could not eat or drink, but others needed it, she divided a few bottles of water and compressed biscuits from her backpack to Qi Huaimei and a few people, and gave Xie Lai two bottles of water alone, Xie Lai knew that there were not many things, and after walking for two days, he drank most of the bottles.
It was quiet along the way, and almost no one spoke.
Ye Qing and Shi Yin had the experience of entering the maze a few times, but it was only two days, and they didn't pay attention to it.
The rest of the people are on the verge of collapse.
Food shortage, darkness all around, endless corridors, an unknown future.
"I can't do it, you guys go." The first to give up was a girl.
Several people persuaded the girl to insist on holding on, Ye Qing let Xie Lai rest, and she turned into another corridor.
It was a dead end, and at the end of the road was a wall, and in the corner, there were some antiquities.
Ye Qing picked up a vase, in the early Qing Dynasty, she unfolded a picture scroll, a work of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, she glanced into the corner and caught a glimpse of a black thing.
Held in the hand, slightly heavy, copper.
Ye Qing couldn't help but open her mouth, the thing she was holding in her hand was the "sheep head" in the twelve zodiac beasts.
Eight of the 12 zodiac beasts have returned to China, the dragon head is well preserved in Taiwan, and the snake head, chicken head, dog head, and sheep head are missing.
She couldn't be sure if the sheep's head was genuine, so with a wave of her hand, she put the pile of things into the bag.
As she got up, she swept behind the wall with her psychic sense.
The situation inside the labyrinth is similar to that outside the low wall, there is also a powerful force hidden in it, faintly flowing, Ye Qing wants to use her spiritual sense to detect the road ahead, it is very difficult, like pushing away a layer of unusually viscous paste, she can only detect a short distance.
But this time, the picture after the detection made her stunned.
Behind the wall, there is a ray of sunlight.
The sun was shining on the ground, and between the corner of the wall and the crack in the ground, a plant unique to the desert grew, and after a few seconds, she "saw" the direction of the sunlight, and at the top of the corridor, a hole appeared, and the hole was getting bigger and bigger.
She quickly pushed her sense out and found a low wall outside.
The power to control the low wall is back in place!
In the next moment, Ye Qing returned to the corridor where several people were, and she pulled up Xie Lai, who was sitting on the ground: "Hurry up, the exit is open." ”
Xie Lai's reaction was too slow, Ye Qing directly dragged him to the next corridor, before approaching, she threw out a ball of light, only to hear a loud bang, the wall collapsed, and she saw the sunlight.
And as soon as she stood under the entrance of the cave, before she could jump up, a force sucked her up, Xie Lai and Shi Yin followed to the ground, and Qi Huaimei, Wu Yu and others left the labyrinth.
As soon as they went up, the hole in the base of the low wall disappeared.
"It's horrible, fuck me!" Several people were lying on their backs on the ground, gasping for air in their mouths.
"That's not right." The person who said this was Shi Yin.
Xie Lai got up and looked around: "The car was blown away by the wind?" ”
"We're not back to square one, here's another point." Ye Qing walked around to the other side of the low wall, her gaze swept over the two corpses on the side of the wall, and finally landed on the pattern on the wall.
Shelley ran over and was shocked: "This ...... Isn't this Zhouda? ”
Two bodies, one face down and one face up, one of whom Shelle knew.
However, the two corpses had long since become dry corpses.
Even if it is a dry corpse, it can be recognized a little bit of the deceased's appearance before his death, and the clothes on his body are still there.
Several other people followed and looked at it, dumbfounded, of course they still remembered Zhou Da, and they also remembered that he used to tie a handkerchief around his wrist, which was a memento given to him by his girlfriend, Xie Lai picked up a backpack under the dried corpse, opened it and saw that it was full of his things, and a box of Pechoin.
"Really...... It's really Zhouda. Xie Lai turned over another dried corpse, hurriedly retracted his hand, and took a few steps back: "Wu Ziwen! ”
Compared with Zhou Da, Wu Ziwen's death is very strange - his entire jaw is gone.
Immediately, Qi Huaimei and a female classmate sobbed, and the remaining three were blindfolded.
Ye squatted down and took a closer look at the situation of the dried corpse: "The time of death is at least more than a year. ”
"A year?!" Shelley couldn't control the volume.
Wu Yu walked over and said categorically: "Impossible! They have been missing for half a month, how can they be dead for a year! ”
Ye Qing didn't explain, just said: "There are three people left." ”
This trip to Lop Nur is far more complicated than Ye Qing imagined.
Away from the few of them, Ye Qing walked to an open space and sat down, and began to sort out the information he had obtained in the past few days.
Let's start with this low wall, which is supposed to be a kind of hub station.
At certain intervals, the low wall can teleport nearby people to the underground labyrinth, which is a vast network of hubs with multiple exits.
Just like the subway station, Ye Qing and others entered from 'Zhangjiakou Station', and found the exit of 'Wangfujing Station' by walking, and in the current situation, the subway entrance and exit are open for 3 days.
But this hub station is certainly not that simple.
Speaking of the disappearance of Professor Gu and others, they found the low wall according to Professor Hong's route, and Professor Hong's team did not encounter the opening of the hub station, and they left Lop Nur safely.
And Professor Gu and the others happened to meet the opening of the hub station, and the five of them happened to be around the low wall, so they were sucked in.
The question comes again, why did Zhou Da and Wu Ziwen die for more than a year?
Professor Gu, Jin Xi and the others, are they still in the maze, or have they gone to another hub station?
Once back on the surface, have they already returned to the town of Lop Nur, or have they gone somewhere else?
Ye Qing had no clue.
Qi Huaimei and Wu Yu dug a pit and buried their former teammates in the desert.
Before dark, a few people finally sat down, except for Qi Huaimei, the other four people were ready to return the same way, even if they had to walk for several days, they had to walk back.
"We have no food and no water, how can we go back?" Wu Yu glanced at the backpack that Ye Qinghe was hiding on the ground without a trace.
"The mayor must have sent someone to find us, we can be rescued halfway through!"
"It's so weird, I want to go home......"
At the mention of home, several people choked up.
Qi Huaimei said: "You go back first, I will stay and find them." ”
"Qi Huaimei, are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about? Qi Huaimei, you are looking for death! You're alone, how do you go to them? ”
"I'm with them." Qi Huaimei stood up and walked to Ye Qing's side.
