Chapter 476: Buried in the Sand (14)
The fat man's heart was very uncomfortable, except for what happened in the gambling house, and then Zhu Beichen and Qijian disappeared.
The fat man said, "What about the two of them?" ”
Yin Xi was also at a loss, and Cherry spat out in a small mouth: "I! I don't know. ”
A short reply pulled the fat man into deep thought.
"Do you feel that this market is wrong?"
Yinxi's nerves are a little big, and he never remembers the road very much, so isn't this market the same as before? There's something wrong with that.
"Bazaar! Isn't it the same as before? ”
The fat man flatly refused, frantically looking for clues in front of one stall after another, he trusted his instincts more, there must be a place in the bazaar that was different from before.
Whether it is the location of the stall, or the goods on the stall are consistent with the appearance of memory, the fat man can't help but be depressed.
"I'm going to go crazy if I stay in this place any longer."
……
Zhu Beichen also searched for the traces of the fat man in the market, but there was only a short time between the two sides, and Yinxi and the fat man were all missing.
A strange feeling surrounded Zhu Beichen's heart, and he said exactly the same words as the fat man: "Qijian, I think the bazaar seems to be different from before, do you feel it?" ”
In the dark night, the quaint market streets, only a chill seeped through.
"I can't put it into words, it feels different than before."
I happened to be standing in front of the gambling house, and the door of the gambling house was open, proving that someone had entered it before.
The two of them gathered their eyes in front of the gambling house, strode in, and saw a scene of people going to the empty building, and the unwilling two continued to walk towards the second floor.
Finally, in the elegant room where the fat man once stayed, there were stacks of coins, the candles on the lampstand were burned, and on the gambling table was a bronze mirror, witnessing that there had been a big gamble here, and the gambler who lost the red eye bet on a mirror.
Seven careful logical thinking analyzed the situation at that time, and said: "The first time I didn't see the door of the gambling house open, it must be Yinxi or the fat man who came in, where did they go."
On the street of the bazaar, the two turned back again, and there was an extra bronze mirror in their hands. Originally, I planned to find July's whereabouts, but now it was self-defeating, but I lost the fat man and Yinxi.
During this period, Zhu Beichen and Shichima constantly exchanged their ideas, and there were all kinds of speculations about the disappeared people.
First of all, the door of the gambling house was open, proving that they had entered, and this gambling house was probably the last place that caused them to disappear.
Second, for the ancient city to turn into a deserted city in vain, Zhu Beichen is inclined to the inward migration of residents caused by the depletion of natural resources. However, Shichima disagreed with his view that the desert where the ancient kingdom of Loulan was located could be the cause of the outflow of residents. If the ancient city really lacks water, there will be no people in the inner city either.
The second is the discussion of time, which involves too much theoretical level, and Shichima is convinced that this is the four-dimensional space in the scientific hypothesis. In the four-dimensional space, time and space will become extremely unstable, which is why in just 20 minutes, the fat man and Yinxi will disappear in the same market.
The more Zhu Beichen listened, the more panicked he became, and asked Qijian: "If it is really a four-dimensional space, with our understanding of the concept of time, will the fat man and Yinxi go back to the past?" ”
After all, the only difference between four-dimensional space and three-dimensional space is the element of time, and if there is a problem with time, we may face each other face to face and never see each other. It is also possible that suddenly an ancient person appears in front of you, or someone from the future world.
After several analyses, the two of them became more and more confused, and at this moment, sporadic fires appeared at the end of the market, swaying and moving slowly in the endless night.
When he was separated by more than 100 people, Zhu Beichen was stunned, where was the firelight, but a series of torches, which illuminated the entire long street.
The heavy and powerful pace shook the whole market, and it turned out that a group of people with torches were walking towards the two people at the end of the market.
It's strange that the outer city should be empty, why are there still people here, and it's still a bunch.
Before he could react to what was going on, the middle-aged man with the torch at the head opened his throat and shouted: There are still two living people there, catch them, don't let them go.
Looking at the menacing posture of the group, they knew that the situation was not good, although they couldn't understand what the people were saying, but the body language was common.
"Not good. Beichen, let's run. Zhu Beichen, who was stunned, ran in the opposite direction.
What are you kidding, the whole team is estimated to be dozens of people, and the seven are already semi-disabled, and it is impossible to rely on the strength of the two of them not to be restrained.
Running and running, Zhu Beichen looked behind, dozens of people showed their strong arms, holding torches in one hand and sickle-shaped weapons in the other, and they pounced fiercely.
It's been too depressing for a while, and it's hard to find a place where no one is, where you want to find a team of people who look like soldiers, and kill them without explanation.
The primitive soldiers of the brigade behind him mustered up all their strength to chase after us, Zhu Beichen said, are they crazy, they have nothing to do after us.
What made him even more puzzled was where these people came from!
Around the corner, the two dodged into an alley. The criss-crossing urban layout makes it difficult to make out the direction after a few steps, and no matter where the alley leads, in the face of the surging pursuers, where there is a road, where is the direction of escape.
The light in the alley was even dimmer, and if you didn't pay attention to running a few steps, you would step on an unknown object, and then you could see that the entrance of the alley was already surrounded by that group of soldiers.
The width of the alley was only enough for two people to walk side by side, and the two of them puffed up their strength to reach the end of the alley, but they didn't want to stop a solid wall in front of them.
There is no road ahead, and there are pursuers behind, and they are in such an extremely passive situation.
Zhu Beichen wanted to die at the moment, and the situation of Qijian was not much better, one hand was already crippled, and the violent running accelerated the flow of blood throughout the body, and the corpse poison invaded even deeper, and his pale face was shrouded in a layer of black gas.
Zhu Beichen couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?" It's really unlucky, and walking well in the bazaar can provoke such a group of crazy people. ”
Shichima didn't even have the strength to answer, and he looked at the wall standing in front of him, and wondered if he could hold up if he could hold it up if he had to climb over.
This period of stagnation is particularly important, and it is usually turned over without hesitation with the skills of the seven rooms. Now, he can't do it.
"You run, step on me, I'll push you up." Only one of the two is destined to escape, and he hopes it will be Zhu Beichen.
"How can this work, I can't leave you alone." Zhu Beichen categorically rejected his proposal.
Seeing the pursuers approaching behind him, Qijian reprimanded him in a rare and rough voice, and squatted under the wall to prepare to bear Zhu Beichen.
"What nonsense, like a, come up."
Zhu Beichen gritted his teeth patiently, shook his head and turned around with a reluctant posture, and stepped on the human pedal supported by one hand in seven rooms with a short distance of running, and the two of them exerted force on each other, and the wall more than two meters high jumped over.
Drawing the arrow, pulling the bow and pulling the string, a series of momentum-gathering actions, the leading young man in the team of soldiers completed the aim, a ringing arrow crossed a distance of dozens of meters, huge rebound and accurate aiming, and an extremely sharp bow and arrow drilled into the shoulders of Qijian.
"Ahh shouted, Qijian muffled the sharp pain in his shoulder, and the blood dropped on the ancient road, seeing the pursuers approaching, he had no power to resist at all.
Zhu Beichen, who had just been thrown up and hung on the wall, randomly heard the rapid sound of arrows breaking through the air, and when he adjusted his body, he saw an arrow cluster piercing into Qijian's shoulder. The person approached a few meters away, and in a hurry, he didn't have time to think about it, so he took out a pistol from his arms, opened the safety according to what Han Qingxin had taught, and then aimed and pulled the trigger.
A soldier who was close to him obviously didn't realize what Zhu Beichen was holding in his hand, and the bullet that advanced at high speed instantly pierced his head, and his body was pushed back by the bullet momentum, blocking the soldiers who were rushing forward in the rear.
"Give me your hand." The situation in Shichima was very urgent, and the wound was losing a lot of blood.
Grabbing Nanami's outstretched hand, he suddenly dragged him to the wall, and for a moment he couldn't stop the two of them falling into the other side of the wall together.
With a bang, the two of them landed!
There is no pain in contact with the hard ground as expected, the soil under your feet is soft, and the stone bricks are not paved behind the walls.
There was a foul smell of feces around me, and I couldn't see the situation clearly when I felt it was dark, but I could still smell it.
Zhu Beichen said disgustingly: "No, just out of the tiger's den, he went into the dung pit." Seven, your luck is really not covered. ”
The black sludge covered in his hands is not human excrement, and he struggled to stand up and found that the puddle under his feet was half a meter deep, which must have been accumulated for many years without cleaning up excrement.
The two of them were eager to vomit out all the food they had eaten before, and the landing posture just now was head-on, and even their faces were stained with feces.
Qijian didn't even have the strength to fight back, and was dragged out of the dung pit by Zhu Beichen while covering his wounds.
The crowd behind the wall shouted urgently, and the group was falling against the wall and preparing to continue to chase after them.
Listening to the sound of the seven hesitations: "Bear with me first, they are chasing after you, it is important to flee first." ”
The stench of excrement spread in the wind, and after a few steps, the young man with a torch crossed the high wall and caught up with the two of them.
A flash appeared in front of them, a silver scythe weapon, revealing the cold glow of death.
Zhu Beichen said: "This thing belongs to a dog, so I won't let it go if I chase it." ”
Speaking of raising the gun and shooting, after many exercises, Zhu Beichen's jerky feeling is completely absent when using firearms, and his head is becoming more and more accurate.
Having seen the power of firearms before, the man didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly rolled over to avoid the bullet, and was able to dodge a fatal shot.
