PS: Ball collection
Our watches had stopped long ago. We didn't know how much time had passed, but our instincts told us that it would be dawn soon. At this time, the camels 'breathing suddenly became heavy and their emotions were obviously restless.
Old Man An hurriedly whistled and shouted, trying his best to calm the camels down. His camels were all strong and strong male camels. After walking in the desert for so many days, such a situation had never happened.
The surroundings were already dark, and with the noise of the camels, it increased the fear in the hearts of the team members. Shirley Yang was worried that Ye Yixin would be thrown off by the camels, so she quickly carried her down from the hunchback with Hao Aiguo.
Hu Bayi called Fatty over and asked him to carry Ye Yixin on his back. This valley is very strange and we can't stay here for long. We can't delay and we have to get out as soon as possible.
Fatty was quite happy to do so. Firstly, Ye Yixin did not have much weight. Since she entered the desert, she had been exposed to the sun and lacked water. She was even thinner than skin and bones. Besides, it was not a bad thing to carry a beautiful girl. He carried Ye Yixin on his back like he was carrying a child and urged Old Man An to leave quickly.
However, no matter how An Liman drove them, the camels refused to take even half a step forward. Old Man An also began to be suspicious and began to mutter,"I'm afraid that Big Hu won't let us move forward anymore. We should quickly retreat."
Seeing that they were about to leave the valley, the rest of the people were unwilling to return the way they had come. For a moment, the team was in a mess. Shirley Yang said to Qin Shi,
"Could it be that there's something in front that scared the camels so much that they don't want to move forward? Throw a cold firework over to shine it on them first.”
" Understood!" Qin Shi answered from the front. He then took out a cold firework and lit it up before throwing it forward, illuminating a small section of the valley ahead. On both sides were pitch-black mountain rocks, and the ground was covered in thick yellow sand. There was not even a blade of grass in the empty mountain, so there was nothing unusual.
Qin Shi took a few steps forward and threw out a second flare. His eyes lit up and saw a person sitting on the ground in the distance. We walked over to take a look and saw that the person was wearing a white robe. There was a sand-proof headscarf on his head and a backpack on his back. He was motionless. It turned out that he was a dead man.
Everyone was shocked. It wasn't strange to encounter dead or dried corpses in the desert, but this corpse was different. The deceased was a man with a headscarf covering his mouth, revealing only his eyes. He stared at the sky and died with his eyes open.
The time of death would not be too long, probably within a few days. His exposed skin was only slightly dry, and the strangest thing was that his skin was green. Under the illumination of the fireworks, it glowed with blue light.
A few people wanted to come over to take a look, but they were stopped by Long Zhixi. This person's death was too strange, so they must not get close. Chu Jian suddenly shouted,
"Brother Long, look, there's another corpse!”
Qin Shi felt his scalp tingle. Two dead bodies in a row, could there be more? He threw out a few cold fireworks, illuminating the surroundings. Indeed, there were more than two corpses. On the ground in front of him, there were four male corpses.
These dead people were dressed in the same clothes and died the same way. They all stared in horror and died in a strange way. There were also a few AK47s and some backpacks scattered on the ground.
Qin Yu took out his shovel as a weapon to defend himself. He walked over and picked up one of the shovels. The bullets were loaded. This was strange. Who were these people? Some poachers in Xinjiang used foreign Remington or imitations of Type 5 or 6. Why would they have a Soviet-made AK? Could they be the group of grave robbers who stole the stone tomb?
Qin Shi opened one of the backpacks. There were many military yellow explosives marked in Russian inside. It was probably imported from overseas. It was not surprising that these grave robbers had bought them to blow up ancient tombs in the desert. However, how did these armed guys die in this valley for no reason?
Qin Shi used the gun barrel to lift up the headscarf on the face of the man sitting on the ground. He opened his mouth wide as if he was shouting desperately before he died. I don't want to look at him anymore. No matter what, I have to leave this valley of the grave mountain as soon as possible. Those explosives might be useful in the future. I picked up the backpack filled with explosives and prepared to let everyone leave.
At this moment, Hao Aiguo walked out of the team."
"It doesn't matter if these people are grave robbers or not. We can't let their corpses be exposed here. When I saw the corpses in the wilderness, I thought of the people who were sent to the earthen kiln with me. Those comrades died pitifully. They didn't even have a straw mat to wrap their bodies. Sigh, I can't bear to see this the most…"
He nagged as he moved the man's corpse on the ground.
Qin Shi, who had only been watching the scene, was shocked. He cursed and went over to stop him.
"You stupid bookworm, you really don't know what's good for you. Don't touch these dead people!”
But it was too late. A strange snake suddenly jumped out of the man's mouth. The snake's scales were shining, and there was a black crown on its head. It was about 30 centimeters long. The snake jumped and pounced on Hao Aiguo's face.
Hao Aiguo's eyesight was bad. Even if he had good eyesight, he couldn't dodge in time. At this moment, Brother Long was eager to save the snake. He didn't have time to think. He swung the shovel in his hand and cut the snake in half.
Hao Aiguo was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his entire body trembling. He forced a smile at Qin Shi.
" It's too…too dangerous. It's all thanks to…"
Before I could finish my words, the severed snake head on the ground suddenly bounced up like a fast arrow and bit Hao Aiguo's neck. I relaxed when I saw that the snake had been cut in half. I didn't expect that I would be caught off guard and couldn't save him at all.
Hao Aiguo's face froze, and his throat growled. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. His skin turned dark blue in an instant. He sat still and died.
Everyone was stunned. Professor Chen fainted. Before Qin Shi could feel sorry for Hao Aiguo, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He turned his head and saw a strange snake that had slithered onto my shoulder. It hissed and hissed as its muscles contracted slightly. It opened its mouth and arched its front body, ready to bite me. This strange snake was too fast. It couldn't be dodged at such a close distance.
Fatty was the only one in the team who knew how to shoot. However, he was carrying Ye Yixin on his back and did not have a gun in his hand. This sudden turn of events caught the others off guard. Qin Shi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his heart. Damn it, I, Qin Shi, had finally made a trip back, and I would die here today. I would never be able to see the morning sun again.
Qin Shi knew that the viper was ready to attack. It would raise its body and then spring its head forward to bite its prey with its venomous fangs. My neck and face were completely exposed to its attack range. I couldn't dodge or block it in time.
Just as I was about to close my eyes and wait for death, a white light suddenly flashed, illuminating the pitch-black valley. The strange snake was already charging towards my neck, but it was startled by the dazzling white light and actually slipped off my shoulder.
All of this happened within a second. I didn't wait for the snake to fall to the ground. I swung the shovel in my hand and smashed the snake's head flat. A lot of black juice flowed out of the broken snake's head. Qin Shi hurriedly took a few steps back and secretly exclaimed that he was lucky. This snake was extremely poisonous. If he was bitten by it, the venom would instantly spread throughout his entire body and he would definitely die.
I looked up and saw that the life-saving white light had come from Shirley Yang's camera. She had always been inseparable from her camera, taking pictures whenever she went. I didn't expect that my life had been saved by the flash of her camera. It was all thanks to her quick reaction, or else Qin Shi would have been reborn.
However, now was not the time to thank him. Who knew if there were any other snakes in the valley? If there was anything, it was better to leave the mountain pass first. Thus, he waved his hand and beckoned everyone to hurry forward.
At this time, the camels probably felt that there were no more poisonous snakes in front of them, so they calmed down from their restlessness. Chu Jian, Sa Dipeng, and the others carried the unconscious bodies of Ye Yixin, Professor Chen, and Hao Aiguo onto the hunchback.
Old Man An whistled as he led the camel team forward. With the help of the cold fireworks and the light of the torchlight, the group hurried out of the dark valley of Zaglama.
They didn't stop until they reached the open space outside the mountain pass. They put Hao Aiguo's body on the ground. It was still dark before dawn. Hao Aiguo still had a frightened expression on his face. His lifeless eyes were still open behind his glasses. His whole body was blue. Under the light of the flashlight, he looked even more miserable and creepy.
Professor Chen was awakened by the cold wind blowing from the mountain pass. He struggled and threw himself on Hao Aiguo's body, sobbing. I helped the professor up. The dead can't be brought back to life. I wanted to persuade him to mourn, but I couldn't say anything.
In fact, Qin Shi knew that this was going to happen, and he could have prevented it. However, people often neglected things that were unrelated to themselves and only thought about themselves. Qin Shi felt very uncomfortable. Brother Long walked over and patted his shoulder without saying anything.
Qin Shi and Hao Aiguo had been together for almost a month. He liked to joke around with Hao Aiguo and liked his straightforward and straightforward personality. However, when he thought about it today, he couldn't help but feel a little sour. How could he persuade others?
The rest of the people also shed tears. At this time, a dark red crack appeared in the distant horizon. The sun was finally coming out. We couldn't help but look to the east.
The light slowly turned rose, blood red, and finally turned into ten thousand golden lights. The sun's arc was exposed. At this moment, the boundless sea of sand seemed to have turned into gold in the furnace of God.
In this desert that looked like molten gold, a huge city appeared in front of everyone. There were countless broken walls, various buildings made of bricks, wood, earth, and stone. There were countless towers in the city, and the most prominent one was a tilted black stone tower that stood quietly in the city.
