Abnormal noise
Gao Moli's words made me wake up like a dream, and the chaotic sense of entanglement disappeared all of a sudden!
The expression of the man in black before he drowned was extremely hideous, and that hideousness revealed something more terrible than death. I only felt familiar before, but it was difficult to remember for a while, but now after Gao Moli's reminder, I suddenly remembered that when we were clearing the road between the sand dunes, we had dug up several dried corpses.
The dried corpses were dressed in oil exploration overalls, and they had been extremely fragile from the air-dried, their faces were dehydrated, their muscles were atrophied, and their skin was like yellow paper, making it difficult to distinguish their true faces. But when they cleaned up their remains, their eye sockets and mouths were filled with yellow sand, which means that they must have had their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open before they died!
The men in black died in the water, and the men in oil exploration uniforms died under the sand dunes more than a hundred kilometers away! Is there really anything to do with this?
I asked Gao Moli in surprise: "You mean, they all saw terrible things before they died?" What is it that can scare people to death? Even, scare them so much that they forget the horror of death! ”
Gao Moli still frowned slightly, and said quietly: "I don't know." ”
I couldn't help but ask, "Could it be the one you said you knew more than you knew?" Gao Moli, what does that thing look like? How can you describe it! ”
He was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "There is no shape." ”
It's hard to believe that there is an object in the world that has no shape! I was stunned and asked, "What about ...... What about the color? What about the block? You've seen it all, there's always something special about that thing, right? ”
"Nope. It's in the water, like water, but I'm sure it's not water. Gao Moli said, looked at the river, and added, "Maybe we shouldn't stop here!" ”
I knew he was worried that something in the water would reappear after we were asleep. I glanced around the camp, and everyone was already sleeping soundly around the three campfires, and even the fake mercenary assigned by Zhang Xuefeng to keep vigil was asleep with "Thompson" in his arms. Most of the people here rely on their legs and keep walking here, their physical strength has been overdrawn to the limit, at this time, even if I take a loudspeaker to call them one by one, they may not be able to wake up!
The surface of the river is calm, and the shadows of the campfire and the stars fall into it, this calmness makes people feel uneasy.
I yawned, my clothes had been completely dried by the flames, the warmth hit my whole body, and the sleepiness became stronger and thicker in the snoring around me, and I said to Gao Moli: "It seems that I can only sleep from here tonight." Be vigilant, things in the water shouldn't climb up easily. ”
He didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
I added some solid fuel to the fire, and thought to myself that that terrible thing beyond Gao Moli's knowledge, since it lived in water, it should probably be afraid of fire, as long as the fire was larger, the safety factor would be higher.
I shook off the blanket by the fire and said to Gao Moli, "You should be tired all the way." You sleep first, and I'll keep watch. ”
Gao Moli looked up at me, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he wanted to speak.
The desert at night is surprisingly quiet, in this place where the high and low meet, there is not even a trace of wind, the night is like a cloth, and the stars are low. I sat back by the fire, facing the direction of the river, and urged Gao Moli to rest quickly.
He sat still, and said in a tone that could not be disobeyed: "Here I am guarding." ”
"As you can see now, we may face even more severe tests in the future. We must learn to preserve combat effectiveness! I looked at the calm river like a mirror, and took out a small half bottle of soju in the black cow's backpack, and took a sip, my throat was like a knife cutting fire, stinging and hot, and most of my sleepiness was immediately eliminated. He added, "Listen to me, you sleep for a while, and get up in three hours to change me." I'm a person with low self-discipline, and if I go to sleep now, I'm afraid that if I lie down, I won't be able to get up tonight. ”
Gao Mo didn't speak, he stood up and walked towards the felt mat.
"Call me for something." After that, he lay down on his side, and he didn't know if he had slept.
I took two more sips of soju, and for a while, I felt completely sleepy, but my body was still extremely tired.
I glanced up at the night sky, and the sparse cold stars echoed each other in the distance, outlining a series of bright and dark stars in the inky night sky. I suddenly felt emotional, how many people have looked up at this vast and boundless sky throughout the ages! And how many people, like me, are full of fear and confusion about the road ahead?
I stood up at once, looked at the river vigilantly, and saw a series of bubbles emerging on the river surface more than ten meters away from the bank, the bubbles were not big, but they were particularly conspicuous on the clear river surface like a mirror!
