Chapter 226: Snake Ghost Town · Apocalypse

We had to stop and look to the left and right. This is a crossroads. This Arabian stone pile is at the center, and we do n’t know what it means.
I looked back, the suffocating "buzzing" sound in the distance, and the kind of sneer-like sounds cluttered together--I don't know if it was their cries or other reasons--I still Feeling numb scalp.
Ran out of breath, almost breathless Aning asked me what was going on, she apparently already knew the seriousness of the matter, but had not yet reacted.
I talked about what happened and the poison of King Zong. When I heard that Wu Lao Si had already made a move, Aning's face turned pale.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a lot of "buzzing" coming close. Looking up, I saw that the kings were spreading apart in the distance, and more had already flown, and a large red mist appeared in the sky. The swarms, like the wasps taking off from the group, all came towards us.
At first glance, I said I was fucking, and I had no time to think about it. I pulled Aning and stood up and ran away.
At that time, I never thought that I could run like this. No matter what kind of Arabian stone pile, I rushed out at once. I ran for more than a thousand meters and walked around a dozen directions between mountains and rocks. He couldn't move until he slowed down.
Looking back, the mid-air was full of bugs, and the red fog-like swarms came with us, overwhelming, very fast, and pressed straight behind.
On Dog Day, I yelled and tried to suppress the dizziness and continued to run. Aning was better than me. At this time, he ran faster than me. She called out: "Do n’t just run, find a place to hide ! "
As soon as the voice fell, a gentle appeared in front of us. I was not prepared. What I kicked, and I stumbled.
Rolled all the way to the end, Aning helped me up, I was already dizzy and turned, she dragged me to continue to run, rushed out for hundreds of meters, suddenly a large section of rock like a wall appeared in the front to block the way. We immediately turned and ran down the mountain rock, trying to go around, but ran to the general, we saw the other end of the mountain rock is actually closed, here is a closed semicircle, is a dead end.
I saw this scene, scolded, and looked back, I saw that the red mist in the back was circling and came directly from the top of the mountain rock.
As soon as I finished reading it, I couldn't escape. Looking at the behavior of these kings, it seemed like they were hunting us!
But I do n’t want to sit still and just look around for hiding places. However, there are stones here and no one can hide them.
While sighing, suddenly Aning shouted, "Come here!"
I looked back. It turned out that there was a depression in the rock mountain, and I couldn't hide at all, but that was the only place I could escape. I had to look at luck.
Rushed over and squatted with Aning into that depression, and I took off my T-shirt to block it.
Then, through the clothes, I saw a large patch of insects come down, a buzz suddenly exploded in the air, a spicy smell filled the nostrils, and soon, countless red tracks surrounded us. Many bugs hit the rock on the side of the depression and made a squeaking sound, as if a bullet was shooting at us.
I felt a suffocation, and people could not help but retreat into the depression, but the depression is just a little space, and I can't retract my body completely when I retreat.
I almost died with my eyes closed, so many bugs, as long as one happened to bump in, the consequences would be unimaginable. Deep down in my heart, I don't think we will be so lucky, almost waiting for the moment to arrive.
To my surprise, under that kind of tension, I had no trace of fear, and my mind was almost blank.
However, I did n’t think that slowly, the sound outside was reduced, little by little, the sound of the insects hitting the rocky mountain was also sparse, and soon, the outside returned to calm.
I gritted my teeth for a long time, and it didn't react until Aning shot me. When I looked out, the group of kings had flew away. The few kings outside sporadically hit the ground and fainted. Flying one by one.
Me and Aning looked at each other, I didn't know what was going on, but I was relieved. When I leaned on the stone behind me, I laughed strangely. This thing was so exciting that I couldn't eat it.
After a few laughs, Anin covered his mouth and whispered: "It seems that they are not chasing us, they may want to fly out. We happen to be in the same direction as them. Bring in. "
I thought too, busy nodding, Aning let go of his hand, I stopped talking, and stayed in the depression for a while, before carefully going out the probe.
The devil city outside is silent. It seems that the thrilling activity just did not happen at all, just our imagination.
I took a few deep breaths before finally calming down. At this time, the fatigue of running just now showed up, and my leg cramped, and I staggered a few times, and then stood straight.
Limped, we found a few stones, and checked that there were no bugs before sitting down. I touched the skin sac around my waist, wanted to drink water, touched it, and found that I brought nothing out.
I immediately remembered that when I was in trouble, I just got up, and I didn't even bring my coat. Fortunately, during the day, I might freeze to death at night.
Looked back at Aning and found that she was not as good as me. She wore a short vest and just came out of her sleeping bag. Her hair was disheveled. After a closer look, she seemed to be wearing no bra.
I was a little embarrassed, thinking that it was too urgent to pull her to escape at that time, so I had to look away.
"What kind of bugs are these? How much do you know?" Aning asked me.
I said to my heart how I told you, although I have heard many times, but I actually saw this for the second time. It was in the Lu Palace, where the insect crawled out of the blood corpse. At that time, there was only one, Almost made us all die there. And so many today, appearing all over the place together, this is the first time I saw it.
Talked to Anin about what he knew, and Aning obviously couldn't understand it very well, and it happened so suddenly. She doubted my words.
I also feel that this is a bit difficult to accept, and I have no intention to explain it to her in detail. I felt in my heart that this should be related to the ancient state-owned Queen Mother of the West we were looking for. These human head jars may have been the containers for cultivating the king of the time. My third uncle also said that such a human head has been seen in the seabed tomb. It seems that this kind of cricket must have been bred in the cranial cavity of human beings, and it can preserve vitality for a long time, which is terrible. I do n’t know what the ancient Queen Mother of the West wanted this terrible bug to do? Is it a weapon?
If the Queen Mother of the West was really able to use such a terrible biological weapon at that time, then this brutal and backward ancient country could rule the Western Region for so long, the reason may be here.
Thinking about it and looking around, we fled to where we looked and looked around. The area inside the enclosed city wall was completely strange. There was no impression at all. When I ran just now, I did n’t know how many corners I took. We are completely chaotic.
We ran all the way northeast and northeast. According to Tashi, there are more than 80 square kilometers wide. We do n’t know where we are now, but we wo n’t be on the edge of the devil city. Gobi Desert.
The "street" in the devil city, that is, the distance seen by the wind-eroded rock mountains is very wide. Although the shapes of these rock mountains are different, as long as the angle changes, the things seen are completely different, and I ca n’t go in such a short time. Memorizing these, coupled with the wide field of vision, the depth of vision is very far-reaching, which disturbs people's sense of direction. I believe that it is not possible to go back. We can only look in one direction and go to the Gobi first, and then follow the edge of the Devil City, go around a circle back to the place where the car broke down, and they will meet the stagnant oil bottle.
Those bugs do not know how to survive. Now the sky is full of backlogged clouds and there is no sun on a cloudy day. If they fly on the road by the wind, the consequences will be disastrous. However, it is quite far away from the highway line, and there is no water source. I think that as long as the sun comes out, the insects should not live long.
Talking about my plan, Aning also feels feasible. Now we have nothing on us and must arrive before dark, but now it is noon, there is still enough time, and there is no sun, which is a blessing for us.
Determined the way to go, we took a rest again and started to go on the road. I looked around for a while, and remembered the appearance of several rocky mountains all around, like the castle ’s fort, if we unfortunately walked back, then if we walked back to this place, we could notice it.
At the time, I thought it would take the most trouble. No one expected that this walk would be so painful, and almost went to Yincao Difu.
We are lost.
Walking through the Devil City, we did not relax our vigilance. Those poisonous bugs don't know where they are flying now. If they walk and walk again, they will just escape from death just as a joke.
Then he noticed the surrounding sounds as he moved forward. I do n’t know when the wind rose again, and all kinds of strange movements appeared in the devil city. Fortunately, the wind is not very strong, so it is soft to listen, looming, so as not to disturb people's nerves.
I did n’t have much to say with Aning, and she was not well-dressed and walked side by side with her. My eyes always could n’t help but look at her, so I walked ahead. The two did not speak, but stopped occasionally to exchange a few sentences.
She also has no expression, apparently she is also exhausted, and has no mind to think about more things.
To be honest, if you are traveling, walking with a beautiful woman in this bizarre devil city, watching the magical wind eroded rock mountain, listening to the devil's cry, although it is not a reliable thing, but it is also a good thing A beautiful thing. This world is so bizarre, watching the two of us simply walk here, in fact, just now we experienced escape from death, in this case, I will not feel that this scene is beautiful even if I am leisurely .
Walked like this, the first three and a half hours, it was really a bit like traveling, looking at the strangely shaped rocks, I sometimes have the illusion, want to touch the camera.
After half an hour, thirst started tormenting us, the water was drained from the sweat, and my lips and I were dry and swollen. Speaking of that, I also drank a cup of ghee tea in the morning. Aning didn't drink anything, but in fact the two of us felt the same.
This kind of thirst is very uncomfortable. We lick our lips and try not to think about it before we can continue to move forward. I also lost the sun, otherwise, at this time, I may have been heatstroke.
Walked another hour, in my original concept, this time should have reached the edge of the devil city.
We stopped and took a breath, but when we looked around, it was still the same scenery. They were all the tall wind-eroded rock mountains without the shadow of the Gobi.
I am a little bit different. This distance is a bit too long. Suppose I and Aning can only walk five kilometers per hour, which is also 15 kilometers. This Devil City is definitely not that long. Obviously we are taking detours.
However, as I came along, I meticulously memorized a lot of rock mountains with obvious characteristics in order to prevent going back, but I didn't see it. Obviously we are still moving forward, and there is no circle.
This kind of reassures me a little bit. I comfort myself. Maybe our footsteps have slowed down unknowingly, or the route we took is quite twisty. Do n’t worry, just go in one direction.
I ca n’t take a break at this time because the sky is getting late. I guess it ’s not Gobi, but it ’s not far from the Gobi. It should n’t take much time to go out. After going out, I have to spend some time to go back to the camp outside the devil city It also takes a long time.
So, we continued to hurry and deliberately accelerated our journey. However, as I walked away, I gradually felt something was wrong. Time passed hour by hour, and the surrounding scenery remained as usual, just like this Devil City was following us.
Insisted on sticking his scalp until the sky became dark, but still no shadow of Gobi Beach. I have realized the seriousness of the problem. This is definitely not something that can be explained by a slow journey. If we go this way, let alone 80 square kilometers, it will be doubled again, and we should be over.
A chill rushed to the spine. It seems that the situation in the Devil City is much more complicated than I imagined. Not only are there many rocks, but we are completely lost.
The sky was getting darker and the night was coming again. At this time, I felt the feeling that the Caucasian and the other two victims were lost here. Thinking about what to do, Aning in the back stopped me.
As soon as they stopped, the two were exhausted, and no one could walk anymore. The temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and our sweat began to cool down. The temperature difference between day and night was too great.
"Can't go anymore." Aning sat down on the ground and said to me, "We must not be able to go out before dark. We don't have a flashlight. It's full of stones and there's no way to make a fire. I had to take advantage of the sky to get completely dark. Find a place to spend the night. Tonight will not even have the moon. It must be dark. "
I also fell to the ground and looked up at the sky. I saw a dark cloud in the sky. The cloud pressure was lower. The golden light of the sunset pierced like a sword from the gap of the cloud, forming a huge golden cross, which was very spectacular. Such a thick cloud cannot be blown away if the wind is not strong.
That night we built a stone trough with stones and nested inside for a night. Anin and I only had a single coat, and I was a little embarrassed, but Aning directly shrank into my arms, and the two hugged each other to warm each other. There is no light in the devil city at night, you ca n’t imagine that kind of fear, you ca n’t see anything in the whole space, you can only hear all kinds of sounds from all around, and even some sounds from your side Passing, it seems that something is walking through the devil city.
In this case, it is almost impossible to fall asleep, we had to chat to kill time.
During, we discussed why we could not go out, and thought about many possibilities, that is, the information Tashi gave us was wrong. Maybe the devil city here is far more than 80 square kilometers. Aning said that if he could not walk out tomorrow, he would find a high cliff and climb up to see.
It is strange to think that I am not familiar with Aning. If it is such an intimate move, I may feel very embarrassed, but at this time I feel very natural.
This is also regarded as Wenxiang nephrite, but I have no idea at all, suddenly thought of Liu Xiahui, and suddenly understood him. He also hugged a woman on a cold night at that time. There was no deviance, and I was the same. Think about it, if a man walks up in the desert for a day and then hugs a woman at nearly minus zero in the middle of the night, even a peerless beauty might not have any deviant moves, because there is really no strength.
I almost did n’t sleep for a night, only squinted a few times, and I woke up for more than ten minutes. I was thinking about messy things all night. The most I thought about were sleeping bags and tents. At that time, I couldn't sleep at all, and complained that sleeping in a tent was not good for the cervical spine. Now I obviously think that the sleeping bag is a yearning.
As soon as the morning light turned on, we got up. It was in a terrible state. I have never been so tired. I felt that all the muscles in my body were out of control, and my eyes were confused. Especially thirst, it has reached a very unbearable point, even the saliva in the mouth is gone.
I knew my body, and I was a little flustered, so I rubbed my arms with Aning and started to rush.
Continue to walk. This time, Aning walked ahead, because she slept a little at night and was more energetic than me. We continued to follow yesterday ’s way. Soon, it was another three hours, the endless Devil City, this time even more desperate than the endless Gobi. I looked at the heavy shadow of the rock mountain that could not see the head in the distance. Going on. It feels like we are being locked in a giant sand table, and it is played in the palm by an inexplicable force.
Have spent an hour and an hour, and soon came to noon, at this time I began to feel hungry, but compared with thirst, it is almost negligible. My throat burned, and I felt it cracked as soon as I coughed.
After we walked, we couldn't help it any more, and Aning began to look for Rock Mountain. But it was not easy to climb the rock all the way. Finally, we found a relatively tall mound, clenched our teeth and climbed up, stood on the top and looked around.
However, it has no effect. The rock mountains here are almost high. Within our eyesight, all are large and small stone mountains. We ca n’t see the head at all, and we ca n’t see it outside, but one thing that is certain is that, We are definitely not on the edge of the devil city.
I was there with Aning Leng, and I said, what the is going on, and why are we going, it seems to be in the center of this devil city? Is there any power that does not want us to go out of this place?
We climbed back to the hill and found a cool place to rest. Aning and I discussed what to do, which seemed to have reached a desperate situation. We can't go out, there is no food and water around us, and after a while, we won't even have the strength to walk. May die here.
I was thinking about it, and the coolness of my stocks was already being considered, that people could live for a few days without drinking water.
In a cool and comfortable environment, it is said to be three days, but now we have walked all the way and have gone for a whole day and night. The consumption of body fluids is very large. I estimate that it can be extended to three days. It is said that drinking urine can be more Live one day, but where do I come from on Dog Day?
Thought of a moment of despair, that is to say, even if I did n’t move here, I could only live up to two days, if no one came to save us and we could n’t go out.
Aning apparently made the same plan, she lowered her head.
How to do next, this is a very simple multiple choice question, continue to walk, maybe be able to go out, but if it fails, tomorrow may be our death, we will dehydrate and die here; do not go, wait for others Rescue, hope is very slim, and can live up to two days, still die.
A Ning is a person with a strong personality. Although I have the idea of ​​giving up, but at the juncture of life and death, it is not confusing. The last thing I and she do is to continue walking until they die.
But Aning was calmer than me at this time. She started to make some stone marks and removed the copper coins from her bracelet. She had a bracelet worn with copper coins under the stone marks. She said that if someone is looking for us, then this is a hope, at least, they can find our bodies.
These copper coins are quite valuable. Put them here as a mark, which is equivalent to putting a gold brick here. I think this may be the most expensive mark in the world. Unfortunately, it guides our burial place.
In the next two days, we continue to walk through this devil city, and I do n’t know how I spent this time.
Three days and three nights before the dripping, the last will not even have the willpower, like a walking dead.
From the night of the next day, all my instincts are no longer sober. What I see is the gravel Gobi and the surrounding high rocky mountains. Sometimes these scenes are even rotating. I do n’t know that I am turning. It's still really turning. I haven't figured out what exactly might happen and what might not happen. Sometimes I feel like I'm dead, I'm flying, and then the next second, I see Aning lurch forward in front of me, and the torment continues.
At this time I was still expecting, looking forward to seeing the expansive Gobi desert suddenly, or the rock in front, we will be able to see the Gobi desert. However, apart from Yanshan or Yanshan, it seems that there is no way to go.
Finally, Aning fell down first, and I saw her disappear into my field of vision at that moment. At that moment, I had a moment of sobriety, and then I stumbled on something and rolled to the ground.
I don't know what I stumbled on, or whether I fell on a stone or on the sand. At that moment, I saw the sky. It was not the blue sky, but the dark clouds.
I smiled bitterly in my heart. If it wasn't for the sun, I think I had begun to rot now, but even if I lived a few more hours, the time was up.
Looking at the dark clouds, I wanted to stand up, but I did n’t have any effort at all, my eyelids were getting heavier, and at the moment I closed it completely, I suddenly saw the sky flash for a moment, as if it was lightning, and then everything went quiet , Everything is gone. I slowly sank into the abyss.
