There was a bang, and there was a loud bang behind the sky-shattering steps, and in an instant, sand and rocks were scattered, and dust was filled. The place where the two of them had just squatted was already built up by a hill by the sudden collapse of the earth platform. The map was also crushed under the mountain.
Zhou Tao had no expression on his face, trembling like chaff, and said in a trembling voice: "Ming Han, if you don't respond quickly enough, we will both be buried alive!"
Ming Han said: "The soil typhoon is eroded seriously, and there is a danger of collapse at any time. Just take a detour. Don't lose your life just to save a little gasoline."
Zhou Tao said: "Yes, when Zuo Wenwen drives over, tell her."
Unexpectedly, the two waited for a while, but they waited for bad news. Zuo Wenwen said on the walkie-talkie: "It's not good, Zhou Hanmin can't find it!"
Ming Han was taken aback: "What did you say? How come you can't find anyone? It's over."
Zuo Wenwen said: "He said it was convenient to get off the car, but he never came back. Will he... ran to find you? Over."
Ming Han said: "You and Zhong Xiaocheng will continue to look around. We will walk back all the way to see if we can meet. Over."
Zuo Wenwen said: "Should I drive to pick you up?"
Ming Han said: "Don't, if you don't find the car, if you don't see the car, I thought we had left him, and the desert environment is complicated. Once the car moves, we can't find the original position. It's over."
Zuo Wenwen said: "Yes, it's over."
Ming Han said, "Turn on the car lights. Over."
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Ming Han and Zhou Tao walked back all the way, looking around as they walked, but they went back to the off-road vehicle and did not see Zhou Hanmin.
Zhong Xiaocheng said: "Zhou Hanmin said it was convenient for him to go out. We didn't care at first. Who knows that after going there for a long time, we didn't come back. Zuo Wenwen and I were anxious. We went out to look for him.
Ming Han said, "Which way did he go?"
Zhong Xiaocheng pointed to a small sand dune not far away: "Here, it's over there, not far away."
Ming Han walked straight over and said, "Don't see the footprints?"
Zhong Xiaocheng said: "There was a gust of wind at that time, and the footprints were smoothed."
After the four walked to the dunes, they saw yellow sand in addition to yellow sand.
Zhou Tao said: "Brother Zhong, are you sure that Zhou Hanmin walked this way
Here? "
Zhong Xiaocheng said with certainty: "Yes, it's here."
Ming Han thought, "This is strange. Although the desert environment is complicated, the sand often changes its shape when the wind blows, but it is impossible to get lost at such a close distance." He couldn't think of a reason for a while.
The four of them were helpless and had to return to the off-road vehicle, only hope that Zhou Hanmin could find it by themselves.
Ming Han said: "The three of you sleep, I'll watch the night."
Zhong Xiaocheng said: "I was sleeping when you were driving, so let me watch the night."
Ming Han nodded, tightly tightening his clothes, and closed his eyes.
After nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply. Ming Han was lying in the car as if lying in the refrigerator. He was really worried that Zhou Hanmin would not be able to survive the cold night tonight.
When I woke up, it was nine o'clock in the morning the next day. As the sun rose, the temperature got higher and higher. At noon, the off-road vehicle is even more sultry like a steamer.
Zhou Tao said: "We can't wait forever like this, right?" Zhong Xiaocheng and Zuo Wenwen looked at Ming Han together, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Ming Han nodded, thinking that if this continues, all four of them will be dragged to death. Finally made up his mind and started the car slanting towards the end of the earth platform area.
Ming Han was going to drive around by car, but when he approached the earth platform, he found that the earth platform here was very few. It was not dangerous to pass through the middle. So I turned the steering wheel and drove in.
Not long after entering the Tutai area, Ming Han suddenly discovered a string of footprints on the ground, shuttled back and forth between the soil platforms, and said in shock: "This... Is this Zhou Hanmin's footprints?!"
Zuo Wenwen in the passenger seat said, "No, it's at least 50 kilometers away from where we parked last night!"
The four of them hurriedly got off the car and walked forward along the footprints. They saw the footprints circled around a large soil platform for an unknown number of times before extending to the southwest.
Zuo Wenwen said: "Zhou Hanmin must have been dark and could not see clearly, and kept going around again."
Zhong Xiaocheng said: "Not necessarily, what if you encounter a ghost hitting the wall?"
Ming Han has never believed in the vague ghosts and gods, but when he heard the three sons of "Ghosts hit the wall", there was no reason why he felt cold.
Footprints go around between the earth platforms, and from time to time they surround a certain earth platform
After a few turns, the four of them were dizzy and sweating profusely.
Zhong Xiaocheng suddenly trembled: "This footprint must be left by the ghost. Let us follow until we are exhausted!"
Although the sun was hot in broad daylight, as soon as Zhong Xiaocheng said these words, the three of Ming Han were silent. Looking at each other, their bodies couldn't help shaking, and a chill on the back penetrated straight.
Zuo Wenwen trembled and said, "Zhong... Brother Zhong, don't talk scary."
Ming Han calmed down and said, "What's the ghost or not in the daytime? But the soil area is too big, so be careful not to get lost and you can't go back." Using a few pieces of gravel, an arrow was placed on the ground. , Mark the route traversed.
While walking like this, while placing arrows on the ground, the four of them followed their footprints for a long time, tired and thirsty, and they felt like **** in their throats.
Suddenly, Ming Han and Zhou Tao were surprised to find that they had come to the bones of last night.
As for Zhou Hanmin's body, he collapsed stiffly on the edge of the white bones, with his back facing the sky, his mouth and nose bleeding, and one hand stretched straight, maintaining a strange posture.
Ming Han took a few steps and reached out to touch Zhou Hanmin's carotid artery. The person was gone.
Zhou Tao said with a trembling voice: "He walked day and night, as if... as if to die here!"
The four of them were shocked and sad, and Zuo Wenwen suddenly pointed to Zhou Hanmin's hand that stretched straight forward: "He... He seems to have something in his hand."
Ming Han broke Zhou Hanmin's bent fingers, and he saw a note in his fist. Expanded, there are only eleven words on it: "Go straight east and you will reach Eagle City."
Zhou Tao examined the handwriting and said, "Is this Zhou Hanmin's handwriting? Why do I look a little different?"
But apart from Zhou Tao, none of Ming Han, Zhong Xiaocheng, and Zuo Wenwen had seen the characters written by Zhou Hanmin, and of course they couldn't distinguish them.
Zuo Wenwen said: "Perhaps he was weak before he died, and his writing was different from usual?"
Zhou Tao said: "But even so, how does Zhou Hanmin know that if you keep going east, you can reach Eagle City? This... Is this character really written by him?"
Ming Hanxin said, "If it wasn't written by Zhou Hanmin, who would have written it? It would never have been written by bones on the ground, right?"
