Zhang Siyuan was stunned, looked back quickly in horror, and saw that there were no living creatures in his sight except me, so he took a slight breath, and said with palpitations: "I knew that it would definitely be okay for you to rush so fast suddenly." What's going on with that bottomless pit? I don't think those yellow eyes you said seem to belong to some kind of reptile. ”

I shuddered, no longer wanting to think back to the white bones hanging on the cave wall and the dazzling yellow eyes as bright as a pair of light bulbs, and urged him to hurry back. Zhang Siyuan reluctantly glanced back at the sand dunes that had been submerged in the vast night, sighed, and quickened his pace to keep up with me.

When we returned to the camp, there was a lonely and faint light in front of the sleeping tents. I went up and found that it was Wang Linshuo, who was keeping vigil, smoking, so I was surprised: "Don't you don't like to smoke, why is it abnormal today?" ”

He looked at us who were sweating and our hair was wet, and said with a smile: "Wang Zhensai gave it to me, I think it's quite boring to sit here and keep vigil, so I'll light it to relieve my boredom." You didn't get water, did you? ”

Zhang Siyuan's face bloomed with a smug look, grabbed the kettle and stepped in front of him, unscrewed the lid and raised his eyebrows and said, "Look at what this is?" Gluttonous? ”

Wang Linshuo's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the kettle and poured it on his neck. Zhang Siyuan pretended to be distressed and said, "If you take a sip, you have to keep a night vigil for me." ”

He smacked his lips unsatisfied, tightened the lid and said, "The water quality is good, it's quite sweet." Where did you get it from? ”

Zhang Siyuan and I glanced at each other with apprehension, and I sighed and said, "After we walked for a long time, we really found the kind of basin you said, and when we dug deeply, we found that there was a lot of groundwater. But at the same time, we discovered something horrifying. ”

I carefully described everything in the bottomless pit to him, and the more he listened, his brows tightened, and he couldn't help but stare at me worriedly when he heard the big yellow eyes. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it a few times, and said in a deep voice, "I think those glowing things in the cave may be jade." ”

Jade? The sand covered with remnants of jade came back to my mind. When I recalled the story told by Hu San, I was even more worried, what did the words written on the remnant jade represent......

Until I lay down, new question marks kept popping up in my head. I remembered the scene when Uncle Lu and Hu San both got into my tent in the middle of the night to try to talk, looked up and down at my hands and feet and my belly that had revealed my abdominal muscles, and wondered in my heart, the total controller can't lie to people, why don't I feel that I have gained any superpowers?

Zhang Siyuan and I risked our lives to bring a few jugs of water to save everyone from dehydration, although our stomachs were still empty, but at least we were no longer thirsty. On this day we continued our march under the scorching sun, perhaps because we were approaching the heart of the desert, and we all marched faster, and when the sun set, Katsuko swore that we had entered the heart of the desert.

Wang Zhen looked at the endless yellow sand and said, "This is the hinterland of the desert?" It's no different from what you've seen along the way. ”

Katsuko looked a little worried: "Boss, cheer up, it is said that there are many things here that can easily kill people." ”

Wang Zhen snorted disdainfully and said, "Aren't there still few deadly things I encountered along the way, didn't I retreat with my whole body that time?" You don't have to be afraid, we are here to keep you alive. ”

This time, the vigil schedule was changed, and Zhang Siyuan suggested that he should be on duty at the deepest time of the night, and insisted on being next to my duty time. Wang Zhen laughed at him for having a ghost in his heart and definitely going to do something bad, and I just thought he was going to go with me to find water again.

Hu San arranged the two of us to the first two shifts, because I spent too much physical energy last night, and I was drowsy all day today, and I couldn't exert my strength. I yawned and said, "I'll go to sleep first, and call me then." ”

When I was dreaming, I was suddenly slapped violently on my thigh. I raised my head sleepily, Zhang Siyuan's big face leaned over, and urged: "Hurry up, I'm sleepy." ”

I sat up in a daze and said, "Aren't you going to fetch water...... If you don't plan to, why ask for a shift change? ”

He smiled slyly, "I found that if you're on the last shift, it's usually me who wakes up and you're still asleep." It's not fair to everyone, and I'm determined to put an end to the phenomenon of someone on duty for you. ”

I was angry and funny, and my sleepiness disappeared a lot, so I slapped him on the back helplessly and scolded: "When did I not skip work because of special circumstances?" Who called me unlucky along the way, strange things always happened to me. ”

It was midnight when I was on duty, the temperature had dropped to its lowest, and although there was no biting cold wind, my skin felt like it was about to freeze and crack. I wrapped my robe tightly and shrunk under the tent, revealing only a pair of eyes that kept looking around warily. The night in the desert was frighteningly quiet, there were no birds, no insects, no wind, and the death-like silence wrapped tightly around the yellow desert.

Nearly an hour passed, and nothing happened in my field of vision. My sleepiness also came up, and I began to yawn incessantly, and I couldn't stop my upper and lower eyelids from fighting. In order not to let himself fall asleep, he had to keep rolling his eyes and neck to look around, and finally understood why Ershuo, who barely smoked, was holding a cigarette.

Just as I was almost unable to hold on and fell into a dream, I heard the sound of a bolt being pulled.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and a jolt leaped to my feet, my robe slid to the ground, and the biting air enveloped me. I didn't care about anything, I looked around in a panic, but I didn't see a single ant. I thought to myself that I must have hallucinated from sleepiness, and after laughing at myself, I picked up my robe and wrapped it tightly, and paced up in the clearing.

After walking back and forth a dozen times, I felt a little fresher in my groggy brain, like a fresh breeze blowing into a stuffy room. I was about to sit down again as I slapped my sore legs when I heard the sound of snakes crawling in the sand at my feet.

I broke out of my foul language, wiped my cold sweat and found my cane, and with my other hand I clenched my pistol, and then took the cane and stabbed it indiscriminately. But no matter how much I put my cane down, no snake showed its head. Wouldn't I have gotten into the sand? I tried to stomp hard with my foot, but the sand was flattened by me, but the rattlesnake still didn't show up.

I felt a little hairy in my heart, and my heart thought that this time it was certainly not a hallucination, if it swam into some sleeping man's tent and bit down on the neck...... The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and I ran back and took out a shovel to dig up the sand quickly, but the snake that was still stumbling in the sand seemed to have evaporated at the moment, and I couldn't see it even a foot from the ground.

I paused, gasping for breath and wondering where it was going, when a woman's chuckle sounded in my ear.

I subconsciously slammed the shovel in my hand behind my ear, sat on the ground with my butt, and when I raised my pistol to look at it urgently, there was no figure in the desert, and the shovel I just threw was lying alone on the ground.

I scolded in my heart, didn't I meet a ghost today? That chuckle was so weird and terrifying that I can't help but shudder when I think about it now. My heart was beating as fast as if it was about to explode, cold sweat was running down my cheeks, and I nervously turned my head to look at the desert where it was empty.

I was heartbroken, and I didn't care about any face, so I turned around and walked to Wang Zhen's tent. But at the same time, I felt hairy on my back, as if something was staring at me. I clenched my gun and gritted my teeth and turned my head, blood rushing up my head in an instant, and my brain went blank.

In the darkness behind me, there was a woman with a bloody face staring at me with white eyes and an expressionless face!

I screamed, and when I raised my hand, I sent a string of bullets, but when I looked closely, the woman disappeared without a trace. At this moment, my cold sweat flowed down like a waterfall, my breathing was unusually heavy, my legs were as weak as noodles, I didn't dare to look back again, I threw myself on the nearest tent and tore the zipper like crazy.

Tearing open the tents, the sight inside made me almost faint. The sleeping bag was torn open, the pillow was thrown aside, there were a few drops of blood on it, and the people did not know where they went, and the yellow sand was very messy by some unknown force, and several small bags were piled up in the tent.

My heart quickly sank towards the bottomless pit, knowing that something bad was wrong, and I didn't care to look at the scene of the incident, I stumbled out and threw myself into the tent next door, and the words that I had been holding my stomach disappeared in an instant.

The tent was in a mess, the sleeping bags were almost torn in half, and the people had disappeared without a trace.

I almost collapsed, let out a loud yell, stepped in with a blank look, and was about to rummage through it, but suddenly someone grabbed my arm. I struggled desperately but couldn't break free, and a familiar voice came from behind me: "It's me." ”

I turned around and saw Wang Zhen with a shocked face. My heart is a little more settled, and there are still people alive here. He glanced at the messy inside of the tent and his face sank, and he stepped out the door quickly, shouting, "Something's wrong! ”
