Chapter 6: Into the Desert

The Englishman did not hesitate, and stabbed the monster tongue with his file, which was stimulated and shook wildly, and his companion took the opportunity to tear his clothes and break free, but the person holding the file was tightly wrapped in the monster tongue and rolled out of the bomb shelter.

The British, who had lost his companion, got up and rushed to Kaiming, "You are all responsible for this. ”

"Hey, no one would have guessed the outcome. Kemin tried to squeeze away from his collar, but the Englishman refused to let go, so he put up two fingers and poked him in the eye.

", my eyes. He covered his eyes and crouched on the ground.

Everyone heard the rustling sound, and their eyes gathered at the entrance of the cave, and the huge claws actually cut through the concrete and reached in.

The entrance to the cave was still narrow, and it could not threaten anyone hiding in the inner chamber for a moment. Everyone was next to each other, watching the hole widen little by little.

The monster was finally able to reach into the inner chamber with one arm, but its claws got stuck in a concrete pillar, and the people hid behind this last barrier, and it tried several more times, but could not touch anyone, and then let out a roar of rage, and forced the top floor of the bomb shelter open, leaving everyone under the great shadow.

It opened its mouth for a split second, popping out its long tongue and swept away the six Arabs next to Kaiming.

The crowd dispersed in terror, and Kaiming ran down the open street with his wife in tow.

"Kaiming, wait. An Yi grabbed him. It turned out that Angel was scattered, and she and another group of people ran in the direction of the suburbs, and the monster was pounced on them.

Kemin looked left and right, and found a puddle of humanoid liquid on the ground, only half of the military helmet left, and a hand* next to it, picked it up, * full of twelve rounds of ammunition.

He called his wife, walked to a white SUV parked on the side of the road, and smashed the window with *.

The road was full of vehicles and off-road vehicles could not pass, and the four large wheels fell sharply, and the rear guard beam knocked down the lamppost on the side of the road, then made a sharp turn, smashed the chairs and billboards on the sidewalk, and drove in the direction of the suburbs.

There were thick black clouds in the sky, and the light was dim, and although it was in the open desert, the line of sight could only see a range of twenty meters.

Angel ran all the way, followed by a large monster, the monster was not hindered by the light in the slightest, and every time he stuck out his tongue, he could always accurately drag away the people on the ground. It's good at dimly lit, no, that's what it's meant for.

The men's backs grew farther and farther away, and she slumped on the sand dunes with the last of her will, the monsters behind her opening their jaws wide at her, and the two rows of white Sensen's teeth were fully exposed.

It spat out its long tongue for a moment, and she closed her eyes away from looking at the disgusting thing filled with slime.

bang

The long tongue that had been reaching straight for her was shaking weakly in the air at this time.

Angel heard the gunshot, opened her eyes, and two bright lights shone from behind the monster, and then rushed out of a white SUV. She saw Cumming lean out of the window and shoot at the monster with his gun raised.

She stood up excitedly, this man was definitely the most handsome and brave person she had ever met.

The buggy braked sharply on the dunes, "Don't be stunned, get in the car." The sister shouted loudly in the driver's seat, and Angel came to her senses, opened the back door and got into the car.

*Can only interfere with monsters, and cannot shoot through its thick skin.

The SUV accelerated sharply and drove along the slope of the hill, and Kaiming made up a shot, waiting until the monster's figure was blocked by the hill before retracting his head into the car.

"It's the craziest thing I've ever done. He said as he unloaded the chamber of the gun, and there were five rounds left.

Angel covered her throbbing chest and said, "I thought I was going to die just now. ”

An Yi turned his head to her and said, "I'm just a sister, and I will never let the monster take you away." ”

Just escaped and encountered problems, and now the city of Cairo is in a mess, where to go?

Kaiming took out his mobile phone, there was no signal, he couldn't use the navigation system, and there was no map or anything like that in the car.

An Yi saw two familiar lines of tire prints in front of him, and stopped the car, "We're lost." ”

Because they were in a hurry to get out of the city, they didn't prepare anything, there was only a bottle of mineral water in the car, and the surrounding area was full of the vast Gobi, if the car ran out of fuel and couldn't get out, they would die of thirst in the desert.

On a starless night, two beams of headlights could only shine on an area of five or six meters, and the sand dunes were one after another, and Angel vaguely saw two figures on the top of the dunes, one tall and one short.

"Parking, there were people outside. ”

An Yi approached the car window, "No!" The surroundings were dark, and there were many terrible things today, and An Yi didn't want to park the car in the wilderness.

"Someone, I saw it. Angel said.

Kai Ming didn't see anything, but An Qi's expression was very firm, so he turned to his wife, who was driving the car, "An Yi, maybe there is really someone outside, why don't you let me go down and have a look?"

"Maybe, maybe there's a monster out there, maybe it's something terrible, but I can't let my husband and sister take the risk. ”

Kai Ming felt that his wife was too sensitive, and her sister's distress just now hit her a lot, "It may be a local, we are lost and need his help." ”

"It's all desert, and how can there be anyone, if it's not an illusion, it must be a beast or something. An Yi felt that her husband was panicking, "Kaiming, you have to understand that you are in Africa now. The lions and cheetahs in China are all around the zoo, and they are running around the mountains here, maybe they are quietly staring at you in the dark. ”

Kai Ming shook his head, "An Yi, I appreciate your caution, but it's a bit exaggerated, I think lions and cheetahs are endangered animals, at least they won't run around the mountains like you said, and I'm not afraid if I really meet them, I have a gun in my hand." ”

An Yi glanced at him, "Come on, that thing was picked up from the ground, and you didn't know how to use it three hours ago." If you want to shoot a swift cheetah in the dark, a sharpshooter may not be able to do it. ”

Feeling slighted by his wife, Kaiming stopped talking and kept choking his breath next to him.

Angel felt that the atmosphere in the car was awkward, so she said, "Maybe I was wrong for a while, let's not talk about this." Although she tried to play the round, the couple in the front seat ignored each other.

Boom

"What's the sound?" said Angel felt the body vibrate.

An Yi braked the car, "The tire has burst." ”

The three of them approached the car window, carefully observed the outside situation, and then slowly opened the car door, the desert night was very cool, Kai Ming picked up the gun, walked around the car, did not see a lion or cheetah, turned to the women in the car and gestured.

An Yi took advantage of the faint light of the mobile phone to check the front wheel, and found that a bone was inserted into the tire, she asked her sister to hold the mobile phone, and pulled out the white bone with both hands.

It looked like a half calf bone, with a bulging knee joint and the other end broken, forming a sharp cone that was stuck in the tire.

"What animal does it come from?" An Yi put the bone under the headlights to observe,

"Maybe it's a lamb bone. Angel also crouched down to check.

"It's been hand-polished. An Yi noticed that the scratches on the cone were not natural.

"Could it be a tool used by the ancients?"

"No, it's a new bone, and its owner died no more than a year. An Yi is an expert in this area, and the approximate time of death can be judged from the freshness of the bone marrow, and archaeologists often deal with tombs and know how to read bones.

Kemin was on guard with a gun, and when he saw two women crouching there studying a bone, he reminded them, "Please, change the tires first." ”

The two women took out the striped wheels from the back, placed the jacks, removed the bolts, and skillfully changed to new tires in five minutes.

The wind blew the sand on the ground, stinging on the skin, and the corners of his clothes shook violently, and Kemin pulled his coat so that it wrapped his body better, and the barrel of the gun sent a cold feeling to his hand.

Angel pulled down the rear door, her gaze froze, and she walked to a nearby sand dune.

Kaiming turned around and found that his wife was looking down to pack up her tools, and there was no trace of Angel in or outside the car.

He looked around, and the back of a woman was ten meters away, "Anqi, come back quickly." ”

She pointed to the dunes and said something, but all he heard was the wind, so he rushed over with a gun, his wife following behind.

"There is something on the dunes. Angel said.

Kaiming looked up, and there were two figures at the top of the arc of the dune, one tall and one short, standing motionless, the short man was only as tall as a seven-year-old child, and they were also observing the three people below the dune.

"I'll go and see. He said to his wife.

His wife turned on the camera light on her mobile phone and handed it to him, "Be careful, run away if you feel wrong." ”

He trotted all the way up the dunes, and in the darkness, the two shadows also faced him, and when he was less than four meters away, he stopped, gasped and said, "Hello." ”

The other stood motionless, so he repeated it in English, but there was still no response.

Kai Ming couldn't stop his curiosity, and used the light of his mobile phone to shine on them, the two were dark-skinned African men, emaciated, almost skinny, tall and normal adults, and short were stunted dwarfs. They were unclothed, wearing short skirts woven of feathers, carrying earthen bows and arrows on their shoulders, and piercing their ears with pointed bone ornaments.

"Hey, are you a nearby villager? I'm in trouble and need help. ”

The four reflective eyes in the night, Kai Ming felt uncomfortable, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Angel rushed over, said something he didn't understand, and the two Africans finally spoke, it seemed to be the local dialect, he couldn't understand it at all.

Angel turned back and explained to him: "They are local natives, they live in a village two kilometers away, there is a well, and they are happy to let us stay for one night. ”

"That's great! They must know how to get out of the desert. ”

The two rushed down the hill and told An Yi the news, but she did not agree to stay in the village, thinking that she should ask about the road conditions and hurried overnight.
