The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 87

We got off the camels, and a group of people dispersed, observing the surrounding environment, and paying attention to whether there were any traces of people.The further we go in, due to the increase of relic buildings, our field of vision is blocked by those walls, and it becomes a bit narrow.

Wang Zehai said: "Maybe it's here. When the wind and sand come, I go to the oasis to hide. When the wind and sand are gone, I come back here again. Strange, do you think this place is cooler than the oasis?"

When he reminded me like this, I felt the same way, which is really weird.

Han Zitong said: "If that's the case, why don't you just live in the oasis? Why do you need to go back and forth between the two places? Is there something else in this place that attracts Professor Wang?" The professor Wang she was talking about was Wang Aiguo.

Tan Ren said nonchalantly: "The person hasn't been found yet, so you guys are thinking too far."

These words reminded us that everyone withdrew their divergent thoughts and decided to search this area first. Everything can only be concluded after the real person is found. Otherwise, no matter how much speculation is now, it will be futile.The area of ​​this ancient ruins is very large, and the lower you go, the more ruins there are, which firmly control our sight. If we search at the current speed, we don't know how long it will take.

In the end Zhou Xuanye said: "Let's search separately. Tiangu, if you are injured, stay where you are and take care of the camels and equipment. For the rest, we will divide into four groups to search." Han Xu followed Han Zitong as usual, and everyone had no objections, so they went their separate ways. dispersion.

I'm afraid of leading the camel. I walked under a stone wall. The sun is now westward, casting a shadow, just to avoid the sun.Camels are not violent animals. Even if they are not tied, they lie quietly on the ground. Camels that have lived in the desert for generations know how to save energy. They do not neigh or move around, and are the most silent and reliable in the desert. companion.

After waiting for about [-] minutes, he didn't wait for the person to come back. Instead, the surrounding wind and sand seemed to be getting bigger.I had to wear windproof goggles. In the end, the wind and sand was so strong that it went straight into my nose, so I had to find out the sandproof mask and put it on.

At the same time, I feel that there is something wrong with the large sandstorms. In the past few days in the desert, small sandstorms have occurred frequently, but very few have reached this level, and there is a growing trend.

At this moment, the east wind was blowing, and the ground wind was blowing away sand and rocks. The sky and the earth were covered by sand and dust, and the vision became blurred.I couldn't sit still, because I found that the wind that came this time was probably a careful storm.

Han Zitong told us about the environment and terrain of the desert. At this moment, there is no cloud in the sky, and the dust is blown high, like a large cloud of sand pressing on the top of a person's head.This is a typical feature of sandstorms.

Sandstorms have different destructive power depending on the level, but if you encounter a slightly larger sandstorm in the desert, you must find a way to find a place to shelter from the wind, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.At this time, the camels seemed to feel the danger, and they were lying on the ground, but now they stood up one after another.Struggling to leave this place.

I held their ropes in my hand, and the three quiet camels struggled together. The force was so strong that I staggered.

I quickly clenched my hands, you know, all our equipment is carried on the camels, if they run away in fright, then we will be finished!I tugged on the rope with all my strength, yelled, stared at the wind and sand and looked around, secretly worried: Why didn't Tan Ren and the others come back because they were blown away by the wind and sand?

No, I'd better find a place to hide first.

I looked around and found that there was a lee not far away. It was a half-collapsed building, leaving only a triangular half room.

I hid inside with the camel, and the camel immediately calmed down, stretched its neck to look around, and finally just lay down on the ground, buried its head under its neck, as if it was pretending to be an ostrich.Seeing that the three guys were quiet, I was worried that Tan Ren and others would not find me when they came back, so I wrapped up my coat and went back to the previous place against the wind.

The wind was really getting stronger and stronger, and occasionally there were some small stones mixed in the sand and dust, which hurt people's faces when they were blown, and some hit the windshield, making a small crackling sound.As the wind increased, in the end, the sky and the earth became dim, and even if I stretched out my hand, it was difficult to see when others were around.

Tan Ren and the others are not fools. I guess in this situation, they must have found a place to hide, so they didn't stay any longer, and hurried back to the shelter.

Once the wind blows, I don't know how long it has been blowing. The heat is not hot, but rather cold.I huddled among the camels to keep warm, listened to the howling wind around me, and wondered when the wind would stop, but after waiting for a long time, the wind force not only did not decrease, but instead grew stronger.Yellow sand piled up on both sides of the surrounding area and began to flow down to me. Helpless, in order to avoid being buried alive, I had to stand up from the camel pile and clean the yellow sand out.

In this way, I retreated into the camels again when the wind gradually subsided.The camels were very warm, and I was a little tired from the physical labor I had just done. I fell asleep while sitting.Simply, he didn't sleep for a long time. When he woke up, it was just after 50:[-], and the wind and sand around him had stopped.

The sandstorm lasted about an hour and 40 minutes from start to finish.

I stretched, and led the camel out of the shelter, planning to meet Tan Ren and the others.

The five of them were scattered, so when the wind and sand came, they should each find a place to hide.It is impossible for me to find them one by one, so I went back to the previous position and waited for others.I waited for more than 20 minutes, but I didn't even see a single figure.

This surprised me a little, and I felt a faint worry in my heart.

Did something happen?
No, it's not a problem to sit and wait, I have to look for it.

At the moment, I rode on a camel and started looking for people in this ancient ruins with three camels.The appearance of the entire ancient ruins area has been changed by the wind and sand for more than an hour.Some broken ridges and broken walls that were originally exposed were re-buried in the yellow sand, while some that were originally buried underground were exposed, and the entire landform changed.

I couldn't help thinking, I thought Tan Ren and the others would not be buried by the wind and sand, right?

At that time, Tan Ren went to the southeast, so I looked for the southeast first, for no other reason, because if I found Tan Ren first, the chances of finding the rest would be much higher.Furthermore, compared to other people, Tan Ren has lost his soul once before, and his physical strength is much inferior. If the group encounters any danger, then Tan Ren is most likely to have an accident. Considering these two points, I decided to find Tan Ren.

Since it is riding on a camel, the field of vision is naturally much wider, and it is even more convenient to have a telescope in hand.It's a pity that this area is too big after all, people are like a small ant in it, and with the blind spots formed by many ancient ruins, it's really not easy to find people.

Although the person didn't see it, but walked a hundred meters forward, a very strange thing appeared in the lens of the telescope.

In the vast yellow sand, that thing is very eye-catching, it is a very, very large circle, like a huge black hole.

What it is?
Since I haven't been to this area before, I can't judge whether the thing existed in the first place or was blown out by wind and sand.It is inlaid in the yellow sand, like a black eye.I immediately turned to the camel and headed towards that strange eye. While looking for Tan Ren's trace along the way, I planned to go over to see what happened.

In the end, I didn't find Tan Ren, but stopped in front of this eye instead.

I want to correct myself. When I got closer, it was not a black hole, but a place similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome. It was funnel-shaped, and all the way down, huge stone steps formed a circle. Circle spiral seat.

And its bottom is very deep. Its area is not as large as the ancient Roman Colosseum, but its depth is considerable. At a glance, the bottom part is an open space covered with yellow sand.There might have been some things in the open space, but they were all covered by yellow sand at this moment, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

This place is likely to be used for some large-scale activities or performances. It looks simple and vigorous, with a solemn appearance. Standing on the periphery, people suddenly feel a sense of insignificance.

My eyes slowly swept across the venue, but at this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly discovered that there was a person sitting in the southwest corner of the meeting!

That person turned his back to me and faced the meeting place. He was sitting very dignified, with long black hair loosened, like a woman!

My first reaction was Han Zitong, but then I thought, Han Zitong doesn't have such long hair at all.

who is she!
These three words immediately circled in my mind.

But at this moment, the woman stood up suddenly, with her head turned slightly, as if she had spotted me and was going to look back at me. This action made my heart skip a beat.But in the end, she didn't look back, but kept going forward, like a maze, but no matter how she walked, she always left me with only a back view.

This woman is tall, and the clothes she wears are also common clothes for modern girls. If it weren't for her attire, if it wasn't for the fact that the sun hasn't set yet, I wonder if I've encountered a female ghost.

But at this moment, when the woman was about to approach the bottom, she suddenly disappeared.

I blinked fiercely, and opened it again. That's right, that woman had indeed disappeared, as quickly as if everything just now was my hallucination.

At this moment, I felt a sense of hesitation in my heart, because this woman seemed too weird, and I didn't know whether I should go down and check.My subconscious mind told me that something was wrong, and if I followed through, something unexpected might happen.

However, there seemed to be an invisible force in my heart that was attracting and urging me to follow.

While hesitating, the woman appeared again. At this moment, she raised her head and glanced at me.

is her!

There was a buzzing in my mind, and I suddenly raised my foot and chased after it.
