Return of the Mysterious Sea Chapter 20 Epilogue

The subsequent experience was lackluster.

We gasped and looked at each other, feeling like everything was a dream. The fat man turned pale and told us to go quickly, not daring to stop for a moment. I was basically in a daze after that, especially towards the end. I can only briefly describe what happened.

We hardly stopped at all and went all the way back to the entrance of the waterway. We chose a direction and started looking for another exit along the stone wall.

Six hours later, they entered a waterway. Enduring their hunger, the three of them simply walked away without saying anything, so as not to waste their energy.

I can rely on fat for one to two weeks without eating. The only discomfort is the first few days, Fatty said. I have experienced this kind of time. Just be patient and it will be fine.

At first, I doubted whether we would be able to get out alive in the end. At the same time, I suddenly understood why the third uncle's entry this time was called the point of no return because the journey was too long and the food carried by one person was completely unsatisfactory. Throughout the whole trip back and forth, he had foreseen how difficult the return trip would be.

Marching in the channel on an empty stomach, the fat man’s plan was to walk out in one day, but walking up was much more tiring than walking down. After two days of starvation, we couldn’t bear it anymore and began to think about a solution. There are very limited things to eat here, including dry tree roots and many bugs in the cracks. The adventure manual says that when there is no food in the wild and you are not sure what to eat, eating bugs is the safest way. We started to try to catch some to eat, but there were very few bugs here, and they were all so small that they could just as well be used as melon seeds.

Menyouping was in a daze all the time. Later he got better, but he still couldn't remember anything. We told him what happened several times but he still couldn't understand it. Fortunately, we didn't need to support him anymore, he followed us on his own.

After three more days of eating bugs, we finally saw live tree roots appearing on the shaft wall. The fat man judged that this place should be very close to the ground. We wandered around and finally found several upward shaft mouths. The fat man climbed up and found that this was the tower forest we passed when we entered the rain forest.

The hole here was so small that we couldn't get out, so the fat man used a bullet to make a small hole. Made a directional blast. After exploding the rocks between several holes, we barely squeezed out.

The ground has changed beyond recognition, and the water levels in all swamps have dropped to the lowest point, exposing the mud and ferocious tree root systems. The sun is shining brightly at this time, and all the venomous snakes are underground. It should be the safest time.

The sunny scene, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in the rainforest can easily give people the illusion of beauty. We thought this was a paradise on earth, but we knew that this moment of peace was definitely an illusion. The more peaceful you are, the less you can rest.

We calculated the time and found that we would definitely not be able to get out of the canyon before dark. We could only enter the middle of the canyon at most. If we encountered any obstruction, the three of us who were exhausted would definitely lose our numbers.

The three of us have survived through many hardships.

I really don't want anyone to sacrifice at this juncture, but it has come to this. There is no better way, just try your best. Fortunately there weren't many cockscombs in the canyon, and we were able to apply mud. This journey can be said to be completely dependent on fate.

What follows is a long journey, and there is no need to repeat the process. I really don’t want to mention it either. We all suffered injuries from crawling around in the mud. There were grass ticks all over my body and I didn’t have time to deal with them. I was even more nervous after nightfall. As soon as there is a sound, speed up your pace immediately.

We spent a day and a night quickly crossing the canyon and returning to the Gobi. Sure enough, we saw Dingzhu Dolma and his friends waiting outside. It was completely a feeling of being reborn. The fat man almost fainted as soon as he came out of the canyon, while Dingzhu Zhuoma and the others could hardly believe their eyes when they saw us.

We rested for three days outside the canyon. Everyone was confused and exhausted. I didn't think about anything or worry about anything during these three days. At that time, I felt that only sleep was the most important, and everything else was rubbish. And for the first time, I truly felt relieved, as if those mysteries, everything that had yet to be solved, had nothing to do with me.

Menyouping still had no improvement, either huddled in the tent in a daze, or leaning against the rocks to look at the sky. We all sighed, but there was nothing we could do. No one expected that he would end up with such a result after his pursuit.

Pan Zi was unexpectedly rescued by Tashi, and he was lying in another tent, sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious. I didn't dare to tell him about my third uncle. Tashi said that Wen Jin told them something and that they knew how to prevent snakes. When the signal smoke came out before, they also entered the camp to search and found the camp in the jungle, where they found Pan Zi.

I calculated the time, and it should be the day after we went to capture Wenjindi. Thinking that if we could survive that night, we would meet Tashi, and that would be a completely different matter. Unfortunately, there were too many changes that night.

After resting for two more days, Tashi told us that we should set off. According to his memory, we are now in the middle of a devil city ring. There are strange mechanisms in the devil city, and we must have accurate navigation. After we go out, there may be highways on the east and west sides. As long as we get to the highway, we can call for help. At this moment, I also wanted to know the whereabouts of Third Uncle and Black Glasses, but I had no energy left. Tashi said that they may have gone out through another entrance, or they may not have come out at all. But there is nothing we can do now.

We can only walk without a car. What we lack most is labor, because at that time, Sanshu's team moved the water here. After they set off, there was a lot left. We couldn't move them all. Moreover, considering the long journey, we could The water I brought will not last until I find the road.

The fat man said, cut the food in half, throw away the tent, and use all the extra space to carry water. It would be okay if you eat less, but you can't last a few days without water.

So we followed the instructions and set off across the Gobi with a large amount of water on our backs. This process was inevitably difficult at the beginning, but it was already a two-level trek compared to marching in the rainforest. Four days later we walked out of the Devil's City. After walking for another week, we finally reached the highway, stopped a traveling driver in an SUV, and used the phone on the military vehicle to contact Jude Kao's people. About thirty hours later, a convoy from Aning's company arrived. Rescue us.

Everyone collapsed, and some people cried with joy. I am afraid only the person involved knows what kind of journey this is.

On the way back, the fat man leaned on the car and suddenly sang a song: Climb the peak to look at your hometown. The yellow sand is thousands of miles long. The sound of camel bells comes from somewhere. The sound touches my heart----

The broken gong-like voice sounded better, and I suddenly felt a burst of emotion and sadness. For a moment, I burst into tears, and my vision was blurred. Everything in the past flashed past my eyes like a dream, and I seemed to hear those voices that were gone forever. , echoing in the vast Gobi desert.

After returning to Golmud. I weighed it again and again and wrote an e-mil to my second uncle, explaining everything in detail. My second uncle called me half an hour later and told me that he knew about it and that I must not tell anyone about this matter. He asked me to leave it alone and he would handle it and asked me to return to Hangzhou immediately.

Naturally, I couldn't go back immediately. Fatty, Menyoupin, and Panzi all had to stay in the hospital for a while.

The fat man is overtired. I hung up a few bottles of nutrient solution and it calmed down. Pan Zi was lucky, so I told him about my third uncle's situation, and he beat his chest. I was exhausted and couldn't say anything to him. He was discharged from the hospital and returned to Changsha before fully recovering. He said he was waiting for news from his third uncle. I asked him to notify me immediately if he had any news.

The most serious thing is the stuffy oil bottle. He regained consciousness after being hospitalized, but we found that he could not remember anything. Excessive stimulation made his thinking very confusing, and the doctor said that he should rest.

Originally he could not remember much. Now he doesn't even know who I am. This feeling is really devastating. Looking at his appearance, I really can't bear to look at it anymore.

I was the last one to return home. After taking a hot bath, I read the letters I had accumulated out of boredom, and suddenly I discovered that one of the letters was actually from my third uncle.

My heart moved. I looked at the date and found that there was no postmark. I immediately opened it and found that it was a long letter.

Eldest nephew:

When you read this letter, I may be gone, or I may be dead.

I don't know if you already know the truth at this time, but I know how I owe you an explanation.

Now, I am about to do something that is my destiny and I cannot escape. I feel like this might be my last time, I've ruined my career for this, and if I don't find the answer this time, I'd rather die.

I’ve written down the things you want to know below, and you can read them slowly. You may have always been very strange as to why I lied to you again and again. After reading this, you will understand that it is because I myself am a scam.

I'm so sorry, but no matter what you think of me, you will always be my eldest nephew. You must believe me. Everything I do, your third uncle, is actually to protect you. I have never thought of harming you, nor have I thought of doing any harm to your Wu family.

Maybe I have actually become Wu Sansheng, or maybe I have worn this mask for too long and cannot take it off.

I'm also sorry that I can't explain all the details in this letter. I want to say that in this matter, everything that happens has an inevitable reason. And for me, it was actually just an accident. A strange combination of circumstances led to all of this happening, and by the time I got stuck in it, there was no way I could undo it.

Things in Xisha Land actually hide a bigger secret, and Wen Jin's background is far from simple. When I was investigating them, I found that several of them had no background at all. I had no idea where they came from or what they were doing before. If you investigate further, you will find that there must be something hidden behind this expedition team. Everything is unfathomable. So if you are still involved in this matter in the future, you must see where I am. You will know the price to pay for pursuing this secret.

I would rather this matter end here. After you know the truth, you can move on with your life and don't get stuck in it anymore. I know that when you think about the whole thing, you will still find a lot of puzzles, but those have nothing to do with you anymore.

Finally, as the last words of farewell, you should remember them well. Those are the words left by your grandfather:

The most terrifying thing than ghosts and gods is humans

Your third uncle is in Dunhuang

What follows is a long description of what happened, almost identical to what Wen Jin said. I read it silently, and after reading it, my tears flowed down uncontrollably.
