Chapter 32 Hurry
Standing on the edge of the desert, I was amazed, I had never seen such a desert before, and as far as the eye could see, the vast desert was divided by several eye colors, and occasionally yellow sand rolled up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Yu, are we going in now? Or are you waiting? Next to me, a man in his forties looked at me flatteringly, and said something at me in broken Chinese.
"Let's go now, we're in a hurry!" I turned back to him and said a word.
This person was brought by Yima, saying that he knows this desert very well, but if he wants to come in, he must give enough remuneration, after seeing Brother Dao boldly take out tens of thousands, he promised us, took us in, and found the place where we were going. In order to make it easier for us to call him, he also specially gave himself a Chinese name, called Hu San. This reminded me of Hu Hansan, and I almost laughed.
We set off from there early in the morning, the weather was relatively good when we were outside, but not long after stepping into the desert, we felt wrong, it was a little cold at first, but not long after walking, a heat swept through our bodies, just in case, we all wore extra thick clothes when we came in, but this sudden heat made us have to take off our thick coats.
No wonder when I was on the train, the old purser said that the weather here was bad, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
Hu San knows this place in particular. While walking, he introduced the situation to us, which was very in line with the standard of a tour guide, but he did not remind us to bring enough water, which surprised me, and after thinking about it for a long time, Brother Dao ordered his men to go out and buy a lot of larger kettles, and when they came, they filled all the kettles with water.
"It's really not a place for people!" Brother Dao wiped his sweat and complained again and again.
"Otherwise, why would people call it the Land of the Dead? If it's not dangerous, there must be a lot of people who have been here, and where can we get our turn. I smiled, I had been in the desert for a few hours, and I had the impression that there was something wrong with the place, except for the bad weather, because I didn't feel any particular danger here, except that the desert was a desert, and if I could know the route, as long as I brought enough water and food, there would be no way out.
Along the way, only some small wind and sand blew, Hu San has been glad that he did not encounter a sandstorm, he also came here a long time ago, and walked very deeply, but then encountered a sandstorm, so he had to retreat from here.
"Mr. Yu, there is an ancient city in front of you, although it has been buried in the yellow sand, but you can still see the exposed walls. Where we're going, we just happened to pass by there. Hu San pointed ahead and said a little proudly.
I nodded, motioning for him to lead the way. He was very knowledgeable and did not speak, but always walked in the forefront.
In the distance, we saw a low earthen wall, and in front of it, a few green things caught our attention. I quickened my pace, and when I got to the front, I saw that it was actually a few broken tents.
"This is supposed to be the monkey they left behind." I looked at the tents in front of me. No one has come here for many years, and Hou Zifeng has been gone for less than two days, so these should be what they left.
Brother Dao ordered his subordinates to go over, only to find that there were still things that had not been taken away, and there were blood stains on the tent, which made me a little worried, what did they encounter here? It's going to make them go in such a hurry.
didn't stop long, and directly let Hu San take us to continue to set off.
The depths of the desert
The sun was about to set, Hou Zifeng led a group of people, dragging tired steps, thinking about walking in front of a pitch-black mountain in the distance, yes, they finally found this black mountain, but their water was almost finished, and some people had no water on their bodies, relying on other people's water to support until now.
"It doesn't seem far, but it's too much of a journey to walk." Battle gasped and muttered.
"yes, there's not much water, hopefully we'll find some water when we get there, or we won't be able to get out alive." Hou Zifeng also complained in the same way.
For a while, everyone was silent, no one was willing to talk more, as soon as they spoke, their mouths were dry for a while, and as soon as their mouths were dry, they wanted to drink water.
What is surprising to people is that Xiao Huan, a thin little girl, has walked for so long day and night, and this girl has never shouted tired.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, Hou Zifeng and they reached the foot of the black mountain.
Looking around, Hou Zifeng quickly determined the entrance to the Black Mountain, which resembled a canyon, with high mountains on both sides and a wide road leading to it in the middle.
"It's also sand inside, so let's press the tent outside when we get to the company." Hou Zifeng looked at the canyon in front of him and said lightly.
Everyone nodded and set off inside, and when they entered the canyon, there was a gust of wind blowing, and the wind echoed in the canyon, and the sound of "whirring" came from people's ears.
After entering the canyon not far away, Hou Zifeng listened in front of a stone wall, on which there was a strange pattern, like a knife, but not a knife pattern.
"It's here, it's the mark we left when we came a long time ago, and the hole that was dug is just below them." Hou Zifeng pointed to the pattern on the stone wall, and then pointed to the bottom of the stone wall, where the sand is connected.
The people began to move, first pressing the tent outside, and then putting all the equipment aside, while Hou Zifeng took the shovel and started digging in the position he pointed out before.
For a long time, Hou Zifeng's right shovel couldn't be dug up, I don't know what he dug on, there was a "click" sound, the shovel was stuck and couldn't move, Hou Zifeng frowned, no, they used to dig obviously deep, but why did they dig so much now, it will be in the end?
Zhang Huanqing was called, and the two of them worked together to dig up the surrounding sand, and only then did they see what was stuck in Hou Zifeng's shovel.
It was a black thing, which looked very familiar, and it continued to expand until the true face of the thing was revealed.
Isn't that what they hallucinated in the lake and saw the giant pincer worm, is this thing really there?
Hou Zifeng and the others all stared at the thing that had been dug up with wide eyes.
"This won't be so fucking unlucky!"
