041 Go Forward, Don't Look Back!
As soon as the sandstorm passed, Mr. Huang contacted us again and told us that he had arrived in the vicinity and was outside preparing to start digging sand.
Because the equipment on our body is relatively advanced, Mr. Huang can easily locate where we are from the outside, so there will be no disorientation and unable to find us.
I have to say that it is still modern high-tech, if it is placed in ancient times, it is estimated that we will definitely not be able to find us for a while, and it is possible that we will be trapped and die here at that time.
But it is not enough to have Mr. Huang playing on it, because the sand below will pile up more and more, which will definitely not work, so we are not idle below, and we start to spread the sand as long as we can get out.
With us working together, the progress was very fast, and after about an hour, the sand below was almost lined up, and the top was completely dug up, and finally I could see the sky overhead!
When I took my first breath of fresh air, I felt like my lungs were all open, not to mention how translucent.
It was still early in the morning when we arrived, but it was late at night.
The desert is very cold at night, it is estimated that it can reach zero degrees, Lan Yue subconsciously wrapped the clothes on her body, I saw this, took off the clothes on my body, and draped it on her body.
After coming out, we suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
But this thing will definitely not be available, so we dug up the stone slab that sealed it here and rebuilt it.
Before I took the slab with me, I found cinnabar and a charm in my backpack and wanted to reseal the place.
However, just as I was about to cast the spell, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back, because these movements needed to open and close, so the wound on my back cracked open again, and blood flowed out again.
Seeing that I was so sad, Brother Haojie stepped forward, patted me on the shoulder, and motioned for me to step back and let him do it himself.
Brother Haojie's ability is not below me, and with him, I can rest assured, so I retreated and watched him from the sidelines.
When drawing talismans and casting spells, Brother Haojie's expression wrinkled slightly, and his mood became very depressed, in fact, this is understandable, after all, so many things have happened inside, and there are countless corpses in it, and there are so many curses.
In the process of sealing, we did not speak, the atmosphere became particularly oppressive, and in the desert, the cold wind was still there.
The whole ritual lasted about five minutes, and I could hear Brother Hao Jie clearly, and he also recited a requiem spell, as if hoping that through this spell, the souls of the dead inside could be laid to rest.
After all this was over, Brother Hao Jie and Mr. Huang resealed the stone slab again, completely covering the sand, as if none of this had happened, and from then on, I estimate that no one will set foot here for a long time.
Because with my current state and situation, there are no conditions to develop this place, and I have seen the things in it, and there is no archaeological value, so it is not a good choice to let it be buried in this desert forever.
As for whether or not to come back next, this is not something I can decide, let Brother Haojie discuss it with the other side, if they still insist on letting us come back, at least send more people, it is not enough for a few of us to prepare.
Seeing that everything was cleaned up, it was already the second half of the night, the temperature was very low, but we didn't have any food on us, fortunately, at this time, Mr. Huang took out some energy drinks and compressed dry food and beef from his backpack.
We found a sheltered back slope, sat down, there was no erosion of wind and sand, and the body was not as cold as before, after eating these things, the body heat also recovered a lot, so everyone did not hesitate, quickly took advantage of the strength of the body, and continued to rush in the original direction.
It was already very exhausting when I came, and with the hard work of this day, the way back now is even more difficult.
It turned out that we could rest halfway, but for some reason, Blue Moon kept urging us to hurry back, and she looked back from time to time, as if something was chasing us behind,
However, Brother Haojie and I can also see unclean things with our eyes, and when the two of us looked back, we found that there was nothing behind us except for the wind and sand exposed to the air.
In the end, Brother Haojie couldn't help it, and asked Lan Yue: "Yueyue, why don't we take a rest here!" ”
"No way!"
Who knew that Lan Yue, who had always had a soft personality and was reluctant to speak, became extremely firm this time, and she replied categorically: "No, we must hurry up and go, and we can't turn back!" ”
Seeing that Lan Yue's face was not good, we also knew that there must be something behind, so everyone did not hesitate, and began to speed up their pace according to Lan Yue's instructions, and continued to hurry without looking back.
We don't have much energy on us, and under this kind of rapid march, Blue Moon can't support it.
But fortunately, Mr. Huang was more energetic, with him supporting the blue moon, we could rely on our own physical strength to persist in walking, although the way back was a little slower, until dawn, we finally came to the bottom of the mountain.
The car was still parked on the side of the road, but the small half of the wheels had been stuck in the sand, but after all, it was an off-road vehicle, and the performance was very good.
After coming out of the sand pit, Mr. Huang drove a few of us directly, returned the same way we came, and rushed towards the hotel.
On the way back, Lan Yue still couldn't help it, occasionally looking back, and as the car went farther and farther, her originally very nervous expression finally eased.
That's when I opened my mouth and asked her, "How's it going?" Did you find anything, why were you in such a hurry to leave just now, was it because you saw something? ”
"I..."
Lan Yue hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Because just now, I saw countless women and children trying to climb out of that pit, and there are many shadows behind them, which seem to be devouring their souls, and these people, before they die, seem to be telling me to leave quickly, and don't look back, otherwise we will also stay here and never get out." ”
