Chapter 34
"What snake? Are there any snakes in the desert here?" he said in his heart.
The traces wind down to the so-called "sadness of people" mass grave under the sand valley. In this sand valley, there were more than a thousand corpses piled up. This made Li Cu feel quite uncomfortable.
"It seems that something crawled out of the pile of dead people. The trace should be a long strip. Did we find snakes or similar living things when we just moved the dead?" Wu Xie asked.
The other two shook their heads, and Wang Meng also said, "Even if there is a snake, the traces are not big, otherwise the traces will not be so shallow. They will not be able to pull off the tombstone."
Li Cu also denied Wu Xie's judgment: "No, these traces were not formed on the sand surface, but caused by some twisting under the sand. Could it be that there is some kind of snake or long strips moving under the sand here?"
Wu Xie touched his chin, looked at the car camp on the side, shook his head and said, "So that's the case. There is a contradiction here. I don't know if you have discovered it."
Raid
The contradiction Wu Xie pointed out was that all the bodies they found were under the car, which meant that they stayed on the sand during their lifetime. Isn’t it quite unwise to say that all the sand here is dangerous?
Wu Xie said: "Let's analyze it. Everyone here is lying on the sand. It should be clear that even if this thing under the sand exists, it should not be something particularly terrible. But just in case, we will still stay in the car bucket. We shouldn't worry too much tonight."
"Maybe when they were trapped, the things under the sand did not exist yet. We came later, so let's be careful." Li Cu said.
Wang Meng said: "It is inevitable to be careful. However, your idea is disappointing."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them saw something moving in the sand valley where the dead were buried. Wu Xie was stunned and said to them: "Search the guy."
Wang Meng asked him what he was doing, and Wu Xie said: "It is always better to take the initiative. Let's go and take a look."
The three of them rushed down the hill. Wu Xie picked up an iron rod and inserted it into the place where the sand was arching. After stirring it a few times, he found that there was nothing. He continued to insert it to the side. The things that were moving in the sand just now must be living things, but in the sand, unlike in the water, the speed could not be too fast.
The living creature should be still nearby, at most in the depths of the sand. Thinking of this, he digged the sand harder. After a few strokes, he found that there was still no one, so he inserted it around, trying to alarm the thing out of the sand cave.
Wu Xie had probably done about half a cigarette. Li Cu and Wu Xie both found the problem. Wu Xie said: "Our body is not buried as deep, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I've been insulated for a long time and nothing is inserted. Where is the corpse?" Wu Xie said: "Download the sand and see if the dead people we buried before are still there?" Several people bent over and started digging the sand. After digging six or seven small holes, they found that the mummy corpse that had been buried before was missing.
Wu Xie wiped his cold sweat and said, "I have changed my mind. We can't stay here."
"Why?"
"We cannot understand everything in this place. It's like a ghost. If we stay here, we will definitely get into trouble. Although I'm curious about what will happen to stay here, I feel that no matter what, I still have to leave this. There is no need to take this risk. Go quickly and fill all the things that can fill with water. Take all the things we can use, and set off immediately before dark and leave here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Meng suddenly screamed, and something was dragged into the sand. Li Cu thought he had stepped on the sand pit and fell into it. He was about to pull him, but when he heard Wang Meng continue to scream, his whole body disappeared into the sand pile as if something was sucked in hard.
Li Cu was stunned and scattered a few digs in the sand pile, and found that there was nothing in the sand pile. He turned around and saw that Wu Xie had run far away. He shouted, "Escape quickly!"
"Your grandma, a bear!" He immediately reacted. As soon as he turned around, the entire sand pile surged. Something in the sand pile seemed to have squirmed inches in his direction. He immediately followed Wu Xie and ran. Wu Xie was also not running fast on the sand dunes. After a few steps, the two people, who were more than ten meters apart, fell to the ground.
Wu Xie wanted to get up and run immediately, but because the slope of the sand dune was too steep, he didn't get up after climbing for a few times, but instead slid down. Li Cu was even worse than him, and he didn't even run to the waist of the sand dune and immediately slid back into the pit. Almost at that moment, he heard a gurgling sound from the sand. Then the whole pile of sand squirmed, and he saw something crawling quickly towards Wu Xie under the dune.
Then, he watched Wu Xie climb to the top of the sand dune and was about to run away to the other side of the sand dune by rolling down, but in an instant the pile of things under the sand pile crawled under Wu Xie's feet, and Wu Xie was buried half of his body in the sand.
Li Cu was completely scared by this scene. Under the conditioned reflex, he stood up and ran in another direction, ran out a few more steps, and then looked and found that Wu Xie had completely disappeared. The entire white desert was extremely quiet, as if nothing had happened.
