Chapter 58: The Ghost Gate
Wang Zhen took out three lighters from his pocket and handed them to him, "All the belongings." β
He was about to pass the gun, clutched it in his hand, his expression condensed, his eyes unblinking, and walked cautiously to the spider, and at the same time he took all the lighters and burned it on, and the smell of anxiety and the flickering flame rose immediately. He clasped his hands in his sleeves, grabbed a bloody leg and threw it into the black 'ocean', and the originally orderly 'ocean' immediately dispersed. The smell of burning protein and the screams of rapid crawling mingled into a mess.
Wang Zhen accurately and ruthlessly trampled on a few spiders that had escaped by chance, and said with a change of color: "This big one can really live, and these hundreds of little spiders are estimated to have escaped from its stomach." β
Zhang Siyuan pouted and said: "If you look at the tonnage of other people, I am not surprised that there are more than a dozen in one litter." But how many innocent male spiders will have to die......"
Wang Linshuo suddenly shouted, stepped over suddenly, swept down the spider that was about to crawl into Zhang Siyuan's shoes with his feet, and scolded: "Don't patronize nonsense, look at it." These gadgets look harmless to humans and animals, but as long as they bite a small bite, within half a day, you will be dead in the wilderness. β
Zhang Siyuan covered his heart, jumped back a few steps, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, you found out in time - I have never seen such a big black widow, this spider can't grow so big at all, it won't have any mutated genes in its body, right?" β
I had a picture of the giant furry spider in the rainforest, and I shook my head to drive away the horrific image, and changed the subject: "Before burning its corpse, I saw a lot of dirt on its back, as well as the remaining roots of Populus. This poplar can't be carried on its back, right? β
Everyone looked at the poplar prostrate on the ground and the spider that had turned to ashes, all with puzzled expressions. Katsuko shook his head: "I've never heard of such a thing in the desert, how can a spider run away with a poplar on his back?" β
I said to myself, there are many things you have never heard of, looking at the ashes in disappointment, puzzled, and even regretting that the corpse was burned faster. Wang Linshuo urged everyone: "There are too many strange things here, it's impossible to understand just staring, you might as well set off as soon as possible, right?" β
It took him to pull me back from my horror, and I gasped, punched myself with self-reproach, and despite my still dry and aching throat, I picked up my bag and pulled my steps as far as I could.
I don't know why, when I was on the road today, I always felt that the vast yellow sand and scorching sun that I was tired of seeing on weekdays were a little more interesting, and I felt completely different from usual when I saw everything. I comforted myself in my heart, maybe I had predicted that I would find herbs tonight and that I would have to embark on the way back, so I felt nostalgic.
I didn't dare to touch the wound on my chest, but I took a look at my clothes and was horrified to find that it was already a little rotten, and the red and swollen parts of my chest and belly had now begun to bleed pus. At the same time, my heart is also a little weak at work, and I feel breathless and chest tightness when I do intense movements or when I am in a bad mood.
However, it did not go as smoothly as I thought, and we did not make any progress until the red sun set in the west. By this time I had become a drag on the group, the constant festering and spreading of wounds, the sharp pain that overwhelmed me from time to time, and the feeling of poor breathing and weakness deprived me of all my strength. Although the others didn't say anything, the eyes that looked at me changed, there was panic and helplessness, and more was the sourness of being unable to return to the sky.
Zhang Siyuan, Wang Zhen and Wang Linshuo ran in three directions, looking for herbs separately, and Shengzi and I supported each other and moved slowly at turtle speed. I watched hopefully at their backs condensed into a small dot, and kept praying, although it was temporary, but I still praised all the gods, but when I saw them again an hour later, I knew that this time there was really no hope, there was no light in their eyes.
Three men stood in front of me with their heads hung and their faces as dead as ashes. Zhang Siyuan squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and cheered up and said, "Maybe we haven't worked hard enough, I'll look for it again." β
Before he could finish his sentence, he turned to run, and I weakly squeezed a few words out between my teeth, and said intermittently: "It's almost dark, don't go." β
Wang Linshuo's eyes were red, and he slowly squatted down, his hands trembling involuntarily. He gritted his teeth and put his hand on my wound and gently tore open my clothesβeven though his movements were gentle enough, I couldn't help but moan. The entire chest and stomach have ulcerated and have a tendency to spread to the limbs. The clothes were full of pus, blood and yellow water, and there was a foul smell, and there was no intact part of the body at all, and everywhere I could see was dark black rotten flesh, and the severe pain hit me like a tsunami, and I couldn't speak at all.
I endured the sharp pain in my heart or flesh, looking at their red eyes and noses, and the tears that hung on their cheeks mixed with sand. Zhang Siyuan couldn't hold back any longer, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and cried bitterly like a child: "Why haven't you found it after suffering so many crimes...... Uncle Lu and Hu San also died, they really lost their wife and soldiers! How are the three of us going back......"
Wang Linshuo's eyes flashed suddenly, and he slapped Shengzi fiercely: "Have you looked around?" β
Shengzi shook his head with a gloomy face, Wang Linshuo collapsed like a deflated ball, his tall body fell down like a tower, and his originally straight waist was bent like a shrimp at the moment. Wang Zhen suddenly roared angrily, he jumped up violently, rushed to my side like crazy, rummaging and searching, countless sands splashed on my face, scratching blood, but I could only stare at him. He turned around with blood-red eyes, stumbled in front of me, and roared, "Aren't you able to conjure anything? How is it out of order now! Bullshit special abilities! β
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, Wang Linshuo wanted to stand up and comfort him, but he himself was weak under his feet and almost fell to the ground. By this time, the pain had penetrated into every cell, my eyes were black, I could no longer see their faces, and I felt an invisible hand grasp my neck.
I don't know whose tears dripped on my neck, my features were extremely twisted because of the pain, my hands were bent like chicken feet, my whole body was trembling, my spasmodic hands were tightly clutched on my chest, and the pain of squeezing the wound was no longer worth mentioning to me. I couldn't breathe, my heart was almost exploding in my chest, and I wanted to dig it out and throw it on the ground. I rolled and writhed back and forth on the ground, moaning out of my mouth, and I don't know whose voice whispered: Or...... Give him a shot?
My heart sank, and before I could express my position, I heard Wang Zhen's roar and the sound of fists and kicks, followed by the persuasion of Zhang Siyuan and Wang Linshuo, and the scene fell into chaos. In this chaos, my pain seemed to be alleviated, my vision seemed to become clearer, and I only felt that my body was very heavy and tired, and out of nowhere, a very soft white light came out, tempting me to walk over.
At this time, I couldn't hear or see anything, and later I heard Zhang Siyuan say that the three of them had a mental breakdown at that time, and they were desperately shouting and shaking me, but I really didn't feel it at all at that time.
Just as I was about to melt into the white light, my mouth was suddenly rudely opened, and the cool stuff with dirt and sand was stuffed into my mouth indiscriminately, and then my body was pulled up, and cool water poured in. At that time, I didn't feel any pain, I didn't have any negative feelings except for being a little tired, my brain was fluttering, and I felt more comfortable than lying in bed after sweating profusely, playing with my phone and drinking cold Coke.
But the brutality of stuffing something into my mouth forcibly drove away this feeling of being in Elysium, and I was pulled back to hell, and all the sensations came back at once, and I felt only bitter in my mouth, and there was nothing in my body that did not hurt, and the fire surged to the top of my head, and all I could do was moan.
The wet and sticky thing fell on my face, and then I heard Zhang Siyuan's gasp and Shengzi's cry, Wang Zhen scolded: "Can you wipe your snot, I almost fell out of his mouth just now!" β
Wang Linshuo and Wang Zhen kept shaking me, and several people kept shouting in my ears like flies. I was so annoyed, I was about to scold but suddenly woke up: what I just did was not a dream, I really walked in front of the ghost gate! I was still a little away from the white light, if they were a step too late, and I stepped in......
I was scared into a cold sweat, and Zhang Siyuan's excited tone changed: "His heartbeat suddenly became very strong!" We're fucking successful! β
I was surprised and delighted, and I forced myself to open my eyes, and the four snot and tears flowed together, red and white, and the big face with the corners of my mouth and the roots of my ears was staring at me. Zhang Siyuan shouted and jumped up, Wang Zhen grabbed my hand tightly, Wang Linshuo breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to stand up but his center of gravity was unstable and he fell on his ass and blossomed, Shengzi's blood and snot and tears were mixed together, he stared at me without blinking, his nose moved, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
