Chapter 41: Ghost Town
I was a little speechless, using a gun to hit this kind of white mist-like thing, and Shi Tao could figure it out, did he want to create an atmosphere where the water was more flowing when the knife was drawn! How could it be effective!
I smiled bitterly, "Brother Tao, are you teasing me?" Don't waste bullets! ”
Shi Tao smiled mysteriously, "But what if this is a flare gun?" Seeing my expression change, Shi Tao continued: "And what about the flares?" ”
Hearing his words, my eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Brother Tao, you are so powerful!" "At this moment, just this signal is strong, I won't change it if I give me an AK!
Everyone discussed it, everyone's equipment was carried on their own backs, and the other luggage was picked up as much as they could. Water and food were still part of the camels, so the first thing we did when we rushed out was to look for them. Just now, these camels were probably just disturbed by the white mist, so they scattered and fled, they should not have run far, they were nearby.
Several people made up their minds and packed their things. Shi Tao raised the flare gun, "After I shoot for a while, everyone goes out as fast as they can!" ”
We nodded with a serious expression.
Shi Tao aimed the flare gun at the ground at the exit, and with a "pop", the flare flew straight to the foot of the white mist, and exploded with a "bang"! The main components of flares are phosphorus and magnesium, and their combustion brings a lot of light and heat.
The dazzling light almost made us a little unable to open our eyes. In the light, the white mist disappeared, and we didn't dare to slack off, so we hurriedly rushed out along the exit.
After going out, we didn't stop, and ran to the outside of the ruins of the ancient city in one go, for fear that the white mist-like thing would catch up. So we didn't stop until we went up a sand dune.
Standing on the sand dunes, with the help of the light of the flares, we looked back at the ruins of the ancient city just now, but we were surprised to see that not only the two we saw, but also several clouds of white mist were wandering around, and more clouds of white fog were constantly pouring up from under the broken and collapsed tower in the ancient city. I suddenly felt like there were countless ghosts, but I didn't expect this to be a ghost town!
When we entered the area, we didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, apparently it was after nightfall. We can't help but be a little afraid, if we don't find it early, everyone falls asleep defenselessly at night, once the fire in the fire is small, we will definitely be dying, maybe we will wake up and we will be one of those white fogs.
Fortunately, these wandering ghosts did not seem to be able to leave the confines of the ruins of the ancient city, and there was not a single white mist outside the ruined walls.
It can be seen that the position we are in should be safe, and what makes us a little relieved is that the white-haired wind outside has been much smaller, and now it is at most six or seven winds. It's still uncomfortable, but it's much better than what I've experienced before.
At this time, it was still night, and because of the weather, there was no moon today, and the flares had been dimmed, so it was very dark around, and everyone turned on their flashlights to look around, and began to look for the camels that had run away.
And I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when we were sleeping just now, we heard something walking around above the roof, but I noticed that these ghosts like white mist, there was no sound when they moved, so what happened to the "click" sound just now?
Although we are safe at the moment, once the idea comes to me, I have no control to find out. I borrowed night vision binoculars from Shi Tao and looked at the abandoned hall where we had just lived.
I adjusted the focal length of the telescope and looked at it, but I didn't see anything unusual, I took the telescope and rechecked it with the naked eye, and found that there was no deviation in the direction I was looking at.
I picked up the binoculars again and looked carefully at the location, and I stared at it for a long time until my eyes were a little dry, and suddenly I noticed a black patch in the middle of several white fog blobs moving. I caught this information for a moment, and I tried to make it again, only to realize that in the middle of several white fogs, where we were on the roof of the hall we were just now, there was a black mist.
Because the sky was too dark, the night vision telescope imaging effect was not very good, so I couldn't see the black fog clearly, and I could only see a rough outline.
I stared at the position, not daring to relax at all, and gradually the black mist moved again, and its amplitude became larger, this time I found that it was not just a black mist, there were some white spots on top of the black mist. I counted it, and it was exactly sixteen.
Sixteen? In my head, a word suddenly flashed, sixteen spurs of the collarbone! This is what my grandfather once told me, and according to legend, the sixteen spikes of the collarbone were used to suppress the murderous corpse. The method of suppressing the murderous corpse actually appeared here, it seems that there must be a lot of corpses buried under the ruins of this ancient city, and the position where the yin qi is heaviest may have undergone a corpse transformation!
I thought as I stared at the black mist, and suddenly, I saw a big face appear on the black mist, with clear eyebrows. I was amazed, and in an instant the expression of that big face changed, and it smiled! It was smiling weirdly in my direction! I immediately felt a chill in my back.
My hand holding the telescope began to tremble a little, and I took a few long, deep breaths, trying to control the stability of the telescope.
However, before I could recover my senses, the mouth of the big face moved, and it opened and closed a few times, and I frowned, and found that it seemed to have said a few words, and I stared carefully at its lips, discerning the message it was saying.
After a while, I suddenly saw what it was saying, and I let out a low cry of fright, and the telescope fell off the sand, and the whole person fell backwards, staggered, and sat down on the ground. Because I could see that the face said three words: You are here!
Wen Mo next to him helped me, "Are you okay?" The others also hurriedly ran over, "How is Zhuo Ran!" Something is wrong! ”
I pointed in the direction of the ruins of the ancient city, "There, there's a black mist, it's turned into a face, it's talking!" It's talking to me! ”
Everyone was puzzled, Shi Tao picked up the telescope on the ground and looked in that direction, but he looked at it for a while and shook his head, "I didn't see any black fog?" There are still a lot of white mist! ”
I was a little anxious, "It's in the middle of those white mist, it's not obvious, you take a closer look!" ”
Shi Tao and Kong Xue took turns looking at each other, and they both shook their heads again. I stepped forward and snatched the binoculars and looked there myself, but I didn't expect that at this time, the place where the black fog just now was empty, and some bare sand and gravel were still there, and I could be sure that there was nothing there!
I put down the binoculars in front of me and muttered, "How is this possible!" I just ...... it."
Shi Tao stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder, "Zhuo Ran, relax, no matter what, it's weird here, we all have to leave as soon as possible, Dawut has found the traces of camels, let's set off as soon as possible!" ”
Kong Xue came over to look at me and asked with concern, "Are you okay, are you too tired?" ”
I was much calmer at this point, and shook my head with a smile, "I'm fine, maybe I'm dazzled, let's go." Kong Xue nodded, turned around and followed Dawuti and them.
I turned my head to look at the mysterious and eerie ancient city again, and sighed.
At this time, Wen Mo, who had been standing on the side, walked over, and when he passed by me, he said softly: "You are not mistaken! ”
My heart tightened suddenly, and I looked up at Wenmo, but he was already far away.
Eventually, we found the camels behind a sand dune, and they were lying on the ground in a circle. Finding the camel also made us breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, we will be in a real dilemma. We put our luggage and gear away, stepped onto the camel and continued on our way.
Although it is dangerous to travel through such a desert in the dark, we have no choice at this time. In the sky tonight, there is neither a silver moon nor a vast starry sky, and the whole sky seems to be a deep pool, deep and far away.
The sea of sand beneath our feet turned completely black, and the sand dunes in the distance were undulating, like the waves of the sea, and I sometimes felt a little confused about whether this was land or sea.
As far as I could see, the black sea of sand stretched as far as the eye could see, and I suddenly felt small. What kind of secrets are hidden under the sea of sand that has endured countless years? The scene came back to my mind, and the face said to me, "You're here!" ”
This is Kong Xue suddenly said: "Look at that! ”
I was taken aback by Kong Xue's voice, and hurriedly looked up in the direction of her finger, and found that there was a glowing green band of light on the sand dunes in the distance.
We all became alert all of a sudden, and Shi Tao asked Dawu in front of him, "Brother, do you know what it is?" ”
Dawut also shook his head blankly.
Shi Tao looked at us, as if asking for our opinion. I've always thought that our destination is the deepest part of the desert, which means that what we are looking for is probably the most central secret of the desert. And I think that since I have arrived here, any abnormal situation may have something to do with the ultimate secret! The second uncle once appeared in an unknown ancient city ruins, and also found Uznamu. So, in this case, I feel like I should go over and take a look.
So, I nodded to Shi Tao, and Shi Tao saw that the others had no objections, and said, "Go!" Check it out! ”
In this way, we adjusted our direction and thought about the glow-green light to take away.
