Chapter 26: The Book of Revelation

We had to stop and look left and right, this was a crossroads, and this Arab stone pile was in the most zhōngyāng, and I didn't know what it meant.

I looked back, and I still felt my scalp tingle with the suffocating "buzz" sound in the distance, and the sneering sound that was in the mess.

While running out of breath and almost out of breath, A-Ning asked me what was going on, she obviously knew the seriousness of the matter, but she hadn't reacted yet.

I told what had happened, as well as Wang's poison, and as soon as I heard that Wu Laosi had been tricked, Ah Ning's face turned white.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "buzzing" sound that came closer, and when he looked up, he saw that these kings were scattering in the distance, and more had already flown over, and a large swarm of red mist-like insects appeared in the sky, like a group of hornets taking off, all coming towards us.

As soon as I saw that my heart said that I was cāo, I didn't have time to ponder, so I pulled up A-Ning, stood up and ran away.

At that time, I ran lifelessly, I never thought that I could run so well, and I didn't care about any Arabic stone piles, so I rushed out at once, ran more than a thousand meters, and went around a dozen directions between mountains and rocks, and I couldn't run anymore, so I slowed down.

Looking back, the air was full of insects, and the red mist-like swarm of insects followed us, overwhelming, very fast, and pressed straight behind. Dog, I scolded, trying to hold back the dizziness and continue to run forward, A-Ning's physical strength is better than mine. At this time, she ran faster than me, and she shouted: "Don't just run, find a place to hide!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a gentle slope appeared in front of us, and I was not prepared. Kicking something, one stumbles and rolls down.

Rolling all the way to the end, A-Ning helped me up, I was already dizzy, she dragged me and continued to run wildly, rushing out for hundreds of meters in a row. Suddenly, a large section of rock like a city wall appeared in front of him, blocking the way. We immediately turned around and ran down the rocks. I wanted to go around, but halfway through the run, I saw that the other end of the mountain rock turned out to be a closed land, and here was a closed semicircle, which was a dead end.

When I saw this, I cursed, and then looked back at the back, only to see the red mist hovering behind me. Directly from the top of the rock, it was covered with overwhelming covers.

When I saw it, I couldn't escape. Look at the behavior of these kings, it looks like they are hunting us!

But I don't want to sit still and look around to see if there's a place to hide. However, it is all stones, and there is no way to hide people.

Just as he was sighing, suddenly A-Ning on the side shouted: "Come here!" ”

I looked back. It turned out that there was a depression in the rocky mountain. You can't hide from people at all, but that's the only place you can dodge. It's just a matter of luck.

I immediately rushed over, squatting with Aning and retracting into the depression, and I took off my T-shirt to block it.

Then, through the clothes I saw a large patch of insects descending, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the air, and the spicy smell filled the nostrils, and soon, countless traces of red sè surrounded us. A lot of bugs hit the rocks on the edge of the depression, making a squeaking sound, as if a bullet was sweeping at us.

I felt suffocated, and people involuntarily retreated into the depression, but the depression was so small that I couldn't completely retract my body if I retreated.

I was almost ready to die with my eyes closed, and with so many bugs, if one of them happened to crash in, the consequences would be unimaginable. Deep down, I didn't think we'd be so lucky, almost waiting for that moment to come.

To my surprise, under that tension, I didn't have a trace of fear, and my mind was almost blank.

However, what I didn't expect was that slowly, the sound outside actually decreased, and little by little, the sound of the insects hitting the rock mountain also became sparse, and soon, the outside returned to calm.

I gritted my teeth for a long time, and I didn't react until A-Ning patted me, poked my head out and saw that Wang Qun had already flown away, and there were only a few kings outside, who crashed to the ground and fainted, and I watched the work, and they also flew up one by one.

A-Ning and I looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but we were both relieved. I leaned against the stone behind me and laughed, it was so exciting, I couldn't bear it. After laughing a few times, he covered Ah Ning's mouth and said softly: "It seems that they are not chasing us, they may want to fly out, we happen to be in the same direction as them, don't get carried away, and invite them again later." ”

I thought about it too, and nodded hurriedly, before A-Ning let go of his hand, I stopped talking, and stayed in the depression for a while before cautiously probing out.

Outside, the Devil's Town was silent, as if the thrilling scene had not happened at all, just our imagination.

I took a few deep breaths before finally composing myself. At this time, the fatigue of running just now appeared, and his legs cramped as soon as he stumbled, stumbling a few times, and only stood up when he straightened.

Limping, we found a few rocks, checked for no bugs before sitting down, I felt the skin around my waist, wanted to drink water, touched a handful, and found that I had brought nothing out. The starter}

Then I remembered that I had just gotten up when the accident happened, and I didn't even have a coat with me, but fortunately, it was during the day, and I might freeze to death at night.

When I looked back at A-Ning, I found that she was not even as good as me, wearing a short vest, she had just come out of her sleeping bag, her hair was unkempt, and when I looked closely, she didn't even seem to be wearing a bra.

I was a little embarrassed, thinking that it was too urgent to pull her to escape for her life at that time, so I had to look away.

"What the hell are these bugs? How much do you know? Aning asked me.

I said in my heart how can I say it to you, although I have heard it many times, but this is also the second time I have actually seen it, it was in the palace of King Lu before, and the insects crawled out of the bloody corpse, and there was only one at that time, and it almost killed us all there. And today there are so many, overwhelmingly all together. It's also the first time I've seen it.

I told A-Ning what I knew, and A-Ning obviously couldn't understand it, it all happened too suddenly. She was skeptical of what I was saying.

I myself felt that this was a bit difficult to accept, and I didn't have the heart to explain it to her in detail. I feel in my heart that this should have something to do with the ancient kingdom of the Western Queen Mother that we are looking for, and these head jars may be the container for cultivating the king at that time. My third uncle also said that he had seen such a human head in the submarine tomb. It seems that this must be a breeding ground in the human cranial cavity, and it can retain vitality for a long time, which is very terrifying. I don't know what the ancient kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West wants this terrible insect to do? Is it used as a weapon?

If the Queen Mother of the West was really able to use such a terrible biological weapon at that time, then this barbaric and backward ancient country was able to rule the Western Regions for so long, and this may be the reason.

As he thought, he looked around. We fled somewhere and took a look. The inland area of this closed city wall is completely unfamiliar, and I have no impression at all, and I don't know how many bends we made when I ran just now, and we were completely chaotic.

We were running all the way north-northeast, and according to Tashi, it was more than eighty square kilometers wide, and we didn't know where we were now, but it wouldn't be the edge of Devil's City. There is still no sight of the vast Gobi Desert ahead.

The distance between the "streets" in the Devil's City, that is, the wind-eroded rock mountains, is very wide. Although these rocky mountains have different shapes, as long as the angle changes, the things that can be seen are completely different, and I can't remember them in such a short period of time, plus the wide field of vision. The visual depth is very profound. It's very disturbing to people's sense of direction. I believe that it is impossible to walk back, and we can only look in one direction and walk to the Gobi first. Then follow the edge of the Devil's Town, go in a circle back to the place where the car broke down, and meet the stuffy bottle.

Those bugs don't know how to survive, now the sky is full of backlog clouds, there is no sun in yīn days, if they fly on the road in the wind, the consequences are unimaginable. However, it's quite far from the road and there is no water source, so I think the insects won't live long as the sun comes out.

As for my plan, A-Ning also thinks it is feasible, now we have nothing on us, we must arrive before dark, but it is only noon, there is still plenty of time, and there is no sun, which is a blessing for us.

After deciding on how to go, we took another break and started on the road. I looked around and remembered that there were a few rocky hills around me, all of which looked like the turrets of a castle, and if we were unfortunate enough to turn back, we would be able to notice it if we walked back to this place.

At the time, I thought it would take a bit of a stretch at most. No one thought that this walk would be so painful, almost going to the yīn Cao Di Mansion.

We're lost.

Walking through the Devil's City, we didn't relax, those poisonous insects don't know where they are flying now, if they run into each other while walking, then it is a joke to escape death just now.

So as I moved forward, I paid attention to the sounds around me, and I don't know when, the wind rose again, and there were all kinds of strange movements in the Devil's City. Fortunately, the wind is not very strong, so it sounds soft, looming, and does not interfere with people's nerves.

I didn't have much to say to Aning, and she was disheveled, walking side by side with her, and my eyes always had to look at her, so I simply walked in front. Neither of them spoke, just occasionally paused to exchange a few words.

She didn't have any expression, and she was obviously exhausted, and she didn't have the heart to think about anything more.

To be honest, if you are traveling, walking in this weird devil's town with a beautiful woman, watching the unpredictable wind-eroded rock mountains, and listening to the devil's cry, although it is not a reliable thing, it is also a beautiful thing. But this world is so bizarre, watching the two of us simply walk here, in fact, just now we experienced a death escape, in this case, I just have the leisure will not think this scene is beautiful.

The first three and a half hours were a bit like a tour, and looking at the strangely shaped rocks, I sometimes had the illusion that I wanted to touch the camera.

Half an hour later, thirst began to torment us, the moisture was lost from the sweat, and her lips and I were dry and swollen. Speaking of which, I also drank a cup of butter tea in the morning, and A-Ning didn't drink anything, but in fact we both felt the same.

This thirst is very uncomfortable, and we lick our lips. Try not to think about it in order to keep going. It's also a shame that there is no sun, otherwise I would have suffered from heat stroke by this time.

Another hour of walking, in my original conception. By this time, you should have reached the edge of Devil's Town.

We stopped and took a breath, but looking around, it was still the same scene, all of which were the tall wind-eroded rock mountains, without the shadow of the Gobi.

I'm a little different. That's a bit too long, assuming Aning and I can only walk five kilometers per hour. It's also fifteen kilometers away, and this Devil's Town is definitely not that long, so it's clear that we're taking a detour.

However, along the way, I carefully memorized a lot of rocky mountains with obvious characteristics in case I turned back, but I didn't see them, and it was clear that we were still moving forward. And it didn't go around in circles.

This reassured me a little bit, and I consoled myself. Maybe our feet have slowed down unconsciously, or the route we have taken is more tortuous, don't worry, as long as we follow one direction, we can get out.

You can't rest at this time. Because the day is getting late. I guess that although this is not the Gobi, it is not far from the Gobi. It shouldn't take much time to get out, and after that, you'll have to take time to get back to the camp outside Devil's City, which will take quite a long time.

So, we continued on our way, and we deliberately accelerated our pace. However, the more I walked, the more I gradually felt that something was wrong, and as the hours passed, the surrounding scenery remained the same, as if this devil's city was moving with us.

I persevered and went all the way to the sky to smear the sky, but I still didn't see the shadow of the Gobi Desert. I have realized that the problem is serious, and this is definitely not something that can be explained by the slow foot, and if we walk like this, not to mention eighty square kilometers, it is twice as large, and we should also go to the edge.

A chill came up my spine, it seemed that the situation in this devil's town was much more complicated than I thought, not only there were many rocky mountains, but we were completely lost.

The sky was getting darker, and night was coming again, and at this time, I felt the feeling of the Caucasus and the other two victims who were lost here. I was thinking about what to do, and A-Ning in the back had already stopped me.

As soon as they stopped, the two of them were exhausted, no one could walk, the temperature in the air dropped sharply, our sweat began to cool, and the temperature difference between day and night here was too great.

"Can't go any further." Ah Ning sat down on the ground and said to me, "We definitely can't get out before dark, we don't have a flashlight, it's full of stones, and we can't make a fire." I had to take advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark to find a place to spend the night. There won't even be a moon tonight, so it's going to be pitch black here. ”

I also fell to the ground softly, looked up at the sky, only to see a black cloud in the sky, the cloud pressed lower, the sunset golden light pierced down from the gap in the cloud like a sword, forming a huge golden cross, very spectacular, such a thick cloud, if the wind is not strong, it will not blow away the ground.

That night we built a stone trough out of stones and nested in it for the night. Ah Ning and I only had single clothes on us, and I was a little embarrassed, but Ah Ning directly shrunk into my arms, and the two of us hugged each other to keep each other warm. At night, there is no light in the Devil's City, you can't imagine the fear, you can't see anything in the whole space, you can only hear all kinds of sounds coming from all around, and you can even hear some voices passing by you, as if something is passing through the Devil's City.

In this case, we almost couldn't sleep at all, so we had to chat to kill time.

During this period, we discussed why we couldn't get out, and we thought about a lot of possibilities, but we couldn't discuss Zi Chouyin, and after thinking about it, there was only one possibility, that is, the information Tashi gave us was wrong, maybe the devil's city here was far more than 80 square kilometers. A-Ning said that if you can't go out tomorrow, you will find a high cliff and climb it to have a look. It's strange to think about it, I am not familiar with Aning, if it is such an intimate behavior, I may feel very embarrassed, but at this time I feel extremely natural.

This is also a warm fragrant nephrite, but I didn't have any idea at all, and suddenly I remembered Megumi Yanashita, and suddenly understood him very well. He was also hugging a woman on a cold night, and there was nothing deviant, and I was the same. Think of a man walking in the desert for a day. Then in the middle of the night to hug a woman in a temperature of nearly zero zero, even if it is a peerless beauty, I am afraid that there will be no deviant behavior, because there is really no strength.

I didn't sleep for almost a night, only squinted a few times, and woke up in ten minutes. One night I was thinking about all kinds of messy things, thinking about the sleeping bag and the tent the most, thinking about the snoring of those Tibetans, I couldn't sleep at that time, and I complained that sleeping in a tent was not good for the cervical spine, and now I obviously think about the sleeping bag is all over the body.

It was a bright morning day. We just got up, and it was in a terrible state. I've never been so tired, I feel like all the muscles in my body are out of control, and my eyes are foggy. The thirst, in particular, has reached a very unbearable point, and even the spit in the mouth is gone.

I knew my own body, and I was a little flustered, so I rubbed my arms with A-Ning and started to hurry.

Keep walking, this time it was Aning walking ahead. Because she still slept a little at night, she had jīng gods better than me. We continue to follow the path we did yesterday, all the way down. Soon, it was another three hours, and the endless Devil's City made us desperate even more than the Endless Gobi. I looked at the shadows of the rocky mountains in the distance. I really can't figure out what the hell is going on. It feels like we're like ants locked in a huge sand table, being played with by an inexplicable force.

Got through hour after hour. It was soon noon, and that's when I started to feel hungry, but it was negligible compared to thirst. My throat burned and I felt like my cough was going to crack.

Later, we couldn't help it, and A-Ning began to sè rock mountain. But it was not easy to climb all the way to the rocky mountain, and finally we found a relatively tall mound, gritted our teeth and climbed up, standing on the top and looking around.

However, it didn't work, the rocky mountains here are all about the same height, and as far as our eyes can see, there are all large and small stone mountains, and we can't see the end at all, and we can't see it anymore, but one thing is for sure, we are definitely not on the edge of the Devil's Town.

Ah Ning and I were stunned, and we said what the hell is going on, why do we go, it seems that we are in the center of this devil's city? Could it be that there is any force that doesn't want us to get out of this place?

We climbed back under the mound and found a cool place to rest, and I discussed with A-Ning what to do, as if we had reached a desperate situation. We can't get out, we don't have any food or water around us, and after a while, we won't even have the strength to walk. Probably die here.

I pondered in my heart, and I felt a chill, already thinking about how many days people can live without drinking water.

In the cool and comfortable environment, it is said that it is three days, but now we have walked all the way, we have walked for a whole day and a night, and the consumption of body fluids is very large, I estimate that it is already the limit to be able to last up to three days, it is said that drinking urine can live for one more day, but where did I come from to urinate.

I thought for a moment of despair, that is, even if I didn't move here, I would only live for two days at most, if no one came to save us and we couldn't get out.

A-Ning was obviously in the same direction, and she lowered her head.

What to do next, it's a very simple multiple-choice question, keep walking, maybe we can get out, but if we fail, tomorrow may be our death period, we will die of dehydration here; If you don't go, waiting for someone else's rescue, the hope is very slim, and you can live for two days at most, and you will still die.

A-Ning is a very strong person, although I have the idea of giving up, but at the moment of life and death, I am not confused, I and her in the end, that is, continue to walk, until death.

But A-Ning was calmer than I was at this point, and she began to make some stone marks, and removed the copper coins from her bracelet, and she had a bracelet that she wore with copper coins and pressed under the stone marks. She said that if someone was looking for us, it was a hope, at the very least, that they would find our bodies.

These copper coins are quite valuable, and when they are placed here as a mark, they are equivalent to putting a gold brick here, and I think this may be the most expensive mark in the world, but unfortunately, it points to the place where we are buried.

For the next two days, we continued to walk through the Devil's Town, and I don't know how I spent it.

After three days and three nights, he didn't even have any willpower, like a walking corpse.

From the next night, all my senses were no longer awake, and all I saw were the gravel Gobi and the towering rocky mountains around me, and these scenes were sometimes even rotating, and I didn't know whether I was spinning or if the sky was really spinning, and I couldn't tell what could happen and what couldn't happen. Sometimes I feel like I'm dead, I'm flying, and then the next second, I see Anin staggering ahead of me, and the torment continues.

At this time, I was still hoping that I would suddenly see the vast Gobi, or that we would be able to see the Gobi as soon as the rocky mountains in front of us passed. However, except for the rocky mountain and the rocky mountain, it seems that there is no way to finish it.

Finally, A-Ning fell down first, and I saw her disappear from my vision, and for a moment, I was momentarily conscious, and then I tripped over something and rolled to the ground.

I didn't know what I had tripped over, I didn't know if I had fallen on a stone or on the sand, but at that moment, I saw the sky, it was not a blue sky, it was a dark cloud.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, if it weren't for the absence of the sun, I think I would have begun to rot by now, but even if I had been given a few more hours to live, the time would have come.

Looking at the dark clouds, I tried to stand up, but I had nowhere to exert my strength, my eyelids became heavier and heavier, and at the moment when I closed completely, I suddenly saw the sky flash, as if it were lightning, and then, everything fell silent, and everything was far away. I slowly sank into the abyss.
