Taking out the stone tablet from his backpack, Zhang Huanqing sat down on the spot, walking for a long time already made him feel that his legs and feet did not obey him, and the others were also slumped on the ground, gasping for breath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Flipping the stele to the back, looking at the map carved on it, Zhang Huanqing recalled carefully, on the map, there was also a record of the lake they had passed through before, but their current location was really difficult to judge, when they were besieged by giant pincer insects, the people in fright were driven by fear, and they randomly chose a direction and ran, in the vast desert, it looked basically the same no matter where it was.

"We now have two choices, one is to continue to move forward, try our luck to see if we can go to Montenegro, the risk is that we don't have enough water now, even if we can find it, we will die of thirst in this desert." Zhang Huanqing looked at everyone, "Second, we follow the route in our memory and return the same way, and with the water we have left now, we should be able to hold up to the lake before." That way I'll be able to follow the route I've set before. ”

"There are risks on both sides, if you go back, who knows if those giant pincer worms are still on the road, it's okay if they're not there, if they are, then you can't avoid a vicious fight." Hou Zifeng sighed and said leisurely.

Battle, who was sitting on the side, groaned slightly, "I think Xiao Zhang's idea is right, if you continue to move forward now, I don't know when we will be able to find the black mountain, although we may encounter those giant pincer insects if we go back, but we still have a fight, since it is a waste of time, we might as well be safe and return there directly." ”

After thinking about it, several others agreed with Battle's statement.

"You decide, but if you want to go back, let's rest for a while, I don't know where I'm going, I feel like my legs are about to break now." Hou Zifeng went down and said helplessly.

Only Xiao Huan sat there alone, with his back to the others, not knowing what he was doing.

After resting for more than ten minutes, they returned the same way they had come.

The weather is still so cold, everyone is still dragging tired footsteps through the desert, every time he passes through a place, Zhang Huanqing will remember the more obvious things in his mind, so that he can easily judge the place he has not walked.

The sky began to brighten, the sun slowly climbed out of the horizon, the light shone on the desert, stinging everyone's eyes, sleepless night, everyone had infinite sleepiness, they had been walking for a long time, and the water they were carrying was about to be drunk.

In everyone's mind, they were fantasizing about how nice it would be if they had a bed, lying down and falling asleep, and not long after leaving, an exclamation rang out.

"We've found it!"

Everyone woke up in an instant, looking at the few tents not far ahead, and their tears of excitement were about to fall.

Desperately running forward, there was the familiar lake in front of them, and everyone threw themselves into the lake, gulping desperately to drink the water.

"Ahh I'm alive again! Hou Zifeng roared loudly while pouring water on his head. After such a night, with Hou Zifeng's character, he almost went crazy.

Zhang Huanqing did not go to the lake, but walked to the fire that had been extinguished, there, there was a kettle, which was the wine that Hou Zifeng threw to him when he chatted with him before, although he usually didn't drink much, but after tasting it, he still liked the taste of that wine. Walking to the fire, he unscrewed the lid and took a slow sip, the hot sensation irritating his throat. After stretching his body, he walked to several other tents, wanting to check if there were any remaining giant pincer insects, but when he passed by the tent of the Zhu Jialiu brothers, he was stunned and stared at the front of the tent.

Because around the tent, the bodies of the six brothers of the Zhu family who died all disappeared, Zhang Huanqing was wondering if he was dragged away by those giant pincers, but soon, he denied his idea, because there was no trace of blood at all in the place where the previous few people died.

"That's not right! Come on, everybody. Zhang Huanqing frowned and shouted loudly.

The unknown crowd gathered around him and looked at him suspiciously.

"What's wrong? What are you yelling at all of a sudden? Hou Zifeng looked at Zhang Huanqing with some doubts.

"The body is gone!" Zhang Huanqing pointed to the direction of the tent of the six brothers of the Zhu family before and said coldly.

"Are you stupid? You can't see such an obvious corpse? Hou Zifeng frowned and looked at Zhang Huanqing.

Zhang Huanqing paused, looked up at everyone, only to find that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.

"Oh! I was wrong, it seems that I was so tired that my eyes were glazed. Zhang Huanqing smiled slightly, "Let's rest, let's re-plan the route after resting." With that, Zhang Huanqing turned around and walked to his tent.

"This guy is hallucinating when he's tired, let him rest well." Hou Zifeng underestimated. "I'll be fine, you rest first, I'll guard here, come and replace me when the time comes, and, Boss Zhu, bury your brother's corpse." With that, Hou Zifeng casually found a place to sit down and threw his bag aside.

The more Zhang Huanqing returned to the tent, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, their camp was still the same as when they first came, and it hadn't changed at all, but what was going on last night? Those corpses are gone, but there is no bloodstain left before, if it is said that the corpse was pulled away by insects, and the wind and sand buried the bloodstains, it can also be said that the past, but there is no trace of a fight around at all, Zhang Huanqing deeply remembers that when Hou Zifeng killed the giant pincer insect with a machine gun, behind the pincer insect was the tent of the six brothers of the Zhu family, and there should have been some holes in the tent with bullets, but all the tents were intact.

Zhang Huanqing climbed to the edge of the tent, through the gap, he saw a strange picture, the only two of the six brothers were digging a pit there, after digging, the two actually walked out of the tent with the action of carrying things, and slowly put the things carried into the sand pit. But in their hands, it is empty.

Zhang Huanqing, who felt more and more that something was wrong, frowned, thinking about something.

What he didn't notice was that a knife that flashed with cold light had slowly stretched out to his back!
