I turned around quickly, exited the netherworld, and rushed outside the barracks in the distance.
Wang Qiang ran over, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and quickly handed it into my hand, "Tianju, come here and take a look!"
I took these pieces of paper into my hands, looked at them, and my heart trembled violently.
This is a diary. The author is unknown, but part of the diary has been torn, and only a few pages of clear handwriting can be seen.
"Today is March 14th, the first day I came to the desert. Mr. Pan received me..."
My eyes froze, and the only thing I saw on this page was this sentence.
"Today's work went very smoothly, everyone was very enthusiastic, and the cultural relics unearthed were also very exquisite. I never imagined that there would be such a brilliant civilization in such an ancient era!"
I opened the night again.
"I can't sleep well these days, as if someone is screaming. I don't know if other people are like this, but..."
"Someone disappeared today. No one knows where he went. People are panicking..."
"The number of missing people has reached thirty, and reports have begun..."
"There are only three people left. We don't know when rescuers will arrive..."
I took a deep breath, and after flipping through a few pages again, I didn't find any traces. My eyes fell on Wang Qiang.
"Why is it missing?" I half-squinted my eyes, with a hint of fear in them.
Wang Qiang's expression also changed slightly, "Tianju, I think we should keep in touch with the outside world at all times. If we are interrupted, someone may come to rescue us!"
"Okay!" I responded. Wang Qiang was thoughtful. But why are these people missing? And there are so many missing!
"I'll contact you right away!" Wang Qiang turned around.
"Wait!" I said softly, staring at Wang Qiang, "Do you think this diary is a little weird?"
"Weird? What's so weird?" Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment.
I pondered and said: "Last time Pan Lao met me, he said that they had discovered a ship-shaped coffin, but why is there no information about the ship-shaped coffin in the diary?"
Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, "Have you already brought it back?"
"Not necessarily!" I said softly.
"But this diary mentions cultural relics. There are no cultural relics here. Maybe they were really taken away!" Wang Qiang said hurriedly.
I waved my hand and said, "You are wrong. This place goes deep into the desert. It is very inconvenient to take it away. Moreover, the excavation work has not been completed, and it is impossible to take it away! In addition, even if it is taken away, it will be taken away with the excavation."
As the work continues, won’t there be new cultural relics here?”
Wang Qiang looked at me blankly, curiosity written on his face.
I said softly: "It's too weird here, let's go back to the barracks first!"
"Okay!" Wang Qiang responded and hurriedly followed me back to the barracks.
There was no shortage of accommodation in the two rows of barracks here, so I chose a barrack by myself. After entering the barracks, I immediately asked softly: "Xiaorui, have you discovered anything new?"
"I just think it's a bit scary here, and I haven't found anything else!" Tian Xiaorui said hurriedly.
My heart sank, and there was a trace of solemnity on my face. If even Tian Xiaorui found it scary, then this place must be really scary. And the ancient city I saw when I entered the Netherworld was definitely not that simple.
With hesitation in my heart, I turned around and left the room. After arranging the surroundings with an ink fountain, I returned to the house.
It was extremely cold at night in the desert, so I lay down in the room early, just waiting for dawn tomorrow to go to the ancient city for a detailed inspection.
"Ah..." At this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside.
I sat up suddenly and rushed out, "What's going on?"
Wang Qiang also rushed out of the room, his face turned pale, "What's the sound?"
"See if all our people are still there?" I asked loudly.
At this time, Xiao Qi and Chen Kui also rushed out of the house, and even Mr. Fat rushed out.
My face turned a little pale, and I turned my gaze sharply to the ancient city. Under the night, the ancient city was like a dormant beast that could jump up and hurt people at any time.
"Everyone, please be safe and look out for each other!" I said hurriedly.
A few people nodded, and I slowly backed into the room.
"Ah..." The scream sounded again, as if it was right outside the door. The voice sounded so real that it couldn't be faked.
I suddenly looked up and looked out the window and found that the camp was empty.
Cold sweat fell down my forehead, and an uneasy feeling slowly grew in my heart. I really felt like I was being stared at by a wild beast, which was a very bad feeling.
I looked out the window for a long time, but still didn't see anything weird. I hesitated for a moment, and slowly lay down on the bed. What on earth was this sound? It was also mentioned in the diary, saying that I couldn't sleep well at night. Could it be because of this?
?
With doubts in my heart, I slowly closed my eyes and slept until the next morning.
"Oh no, Xiao Qi is missing!" At this time, Chen Kui shouted outside the door.
I rushed out of the house, my face slightly pale, "What happened? How did she disappear?"
Wang Qiang's eyes on the side also flickered, staring at Chen Kui and asking: "When did it happen?"
"Just when I went to call her..." Chen Kui was so frightened that his face turned pale.
I rushed to Xiaoqi's door in one breath, my expression somewhat changed. Because Xiaoqi is a girl, she has been living alone in a room. If she disappeared, who would be able to find her at the first time?
The room was very tidy, with only one quilt spread on the bed. I hurriedly walked over, put my hand into the quilt, and said with a pale face: "It's cold under the quilt. It seems like she has been gone for a long time."
time!"
"What should I do?" Wang Qiang put his eyes on me.
I lowered my head, my face changed slightly, "Look for it!"
After the words fell, the faces of several people around him changed obviously. Especially Mr. Fei and Chen Kui, their faces seemed to have a hint of gratitude.
I took a deep breath and said, "This operation is very dangerous. If you quit now and return the same way, you should be able to go back safely!"
"No need, we have a mission here!" Wang Qiang said softly.
I glanced at the three people and nodded. They should have come for Qisha Ming. If they didn't investigate clearly, they might not leave so easily. Now Qisha Ming has found five people, and only one of them is left.
Qingsha Ming and Yangsha Ming have not been found. It is impossible to say that this person from the ancient Loulan Kingdom is one of them.
"In that case, let's eat first and follow me in later!" I said softly.
Several people nodded one after another and took out compressed food. This high-efficiency food was specially prepared by the Chen family, which made me feel very comfortable eating it.
After a meal, several people packed their bags and walked towards the ancient city. The outside of the ancient city always gave people an eerie feeling, especially after knowing that there were corpses inside the city walls, my mood became even more intense.
A bit depressed.
"Follow me, don't fall behind!" I said softly, having already entered the ancient city. As soon as I entered, I felt the cold wind around me, and even the temperature seemed to have dropped a bit.
His eyes scanned the ground, but he didn't find any traces left by anyone. There was wind and sand last night, and I'm afraid even if there were some traces left, they would be completely buried by the sand.
"There is a hole here!" At this moment, Wang Qiang exclaimed.
I hurriedly looked over, and sure enough I found a hole with a radius of more than two meters in the center of the tomb. From my position, it was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything.
"Check around first. If we can find clues, it would be best. If we can't find clues, let's go in and have a look!" I said softly.
"Ah..." At this moment, the screams rang out again. My scalp was numb for a while, and I stared at the hole. Because the scream just now came from this hole.
.And I can clearly feel the changes in the faces of the people around me.
"Go check the clues first!" I said hurriedly.
Several people around nodded and quickly walked towards the surrounding grave pits. I cast my eyes on the grave pit at my feet and found that it was like two infrastructure pits. There was nothing suspicious about it.
place.
I hesitated for a moment, then quickly jumped into the big pit, looking carefully at it. But maybe because of the recent strong wind and sand, the grave pit at my feet was actually filled with sand.
I squatted down and gently pressed my hands on it, peeling away all the sand and exposing the ground inside. When I just lifted my fingers, I felt a pain in my fingertips. My face changed slightly.
, his eyes fell on the ground in front of him. There was another corpse, and the hideous appearance of this corpse was even more terrifying than what he saw on the city wall last night. If I had used too much force just now, my fingers would have been crushed by this corpse.
puncture.
I took a deep breath and raised my head to look at the hill. What kind of place is this? Why are there so many bones?
"Tianju, the wind and sand around here have covered everything, and it's impossible to find any clues!" Wang Qiang ran back and said loudly.
I sighed, "If that's the case, let's go into the cave and have a look. Maybe we'll actually find something!"
"That's fine!" Wang Qiang responded and took out the lighting equipment. "This is specially equipped for this time. Do you see if it is useful?"
