Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The 150th and second day after the invasion [First update] A signal flare was lit in the direction of the station

On the other side of Cheng Sheng, a group of people passed through the canyon.

Just like every mountain scene has a "line of water and sky" scenic spots, the canyons here are also like antennas, narrow and long into a bunch, and the narrow place can only be walked by a person who inhales sideways.

"It's right in front." Du Nanrong walked sideways in front, followed behind Zhang Jiuzhang, and said to the people behind.

Lin Qian nodded and said, "It's a good thing you guys dare to walk in this direction, so you won't be afraid of getting stuck in it while walking?"

Du Nanrong took a breath, moved forward with great effort, curled his lips and said: "If you don't go here, there will be no other way to go. What can we do?"

A group of people, who are big enough to suffer, moved in the crevice of the canyon, almost rubbing off a layer of skin abruptly.

"Did you smell anything? It's wet, like... the fishy smell in the water." Lin Qian sniffed with the tip of his nose and asked.

"Maybe it's the smell of water vapor." Du Nanrong said casually, "Look at the moss growing between the mountain walls, it probably smells like this."

Lin Qian nodded when he heard the words, let go of his doubts and said, "Probably."

Cheng Sheng observed the conditions of the canyon walls on both sides. Hearing what Lin Qian said, he lowered his eyes slightly, brushed his fingers across the sharp and thin rocks, and did not speak.

Usually, the lines of rocks show random and irregular patterns due to the origin of the rocks, but the lines of the two sides of the rocks they walked by were not regular like rocks.

Duan Yi noticed Cheng Sheng's movement, and he brushed away the moss on the mountain walls on both sides, revealing light brown and earth brown rock patterns.

"Any new discoveries?" Duan Yi asked in a low voice.

Cheng Sheng shook his head: "I just feel that this is not necessarily a canyon."

"Not a canyon?" Duan Yi paused, Cheng Sheng's answer was beyond his expectation.

But soon, Duan Yi reacted.

"A turtle back?" Duan Yi asked.

Cheng Sheng glanced at him in surprise, and with obvious appreciation, he nodded slightly: "The response is very fast."

Cheng Sheng suspected that the left and right mountain walls were the carapace of the huge turtle that was carrying them.

The raised carapace of the tortoise, either due to time or the environment, sometimes sheds a small part of the carapace and replaces it with a new carapace.

As this process occurs, cracks develop on the surface of the carapace.

And such a crack is placed on a giant tortoise that can carry three mountains and five mountains, perhaps just like the scene they saw in front of them.

Walking through the cracks in the carapace of a giant tortoise is a novel challenge.

Cheng Sheng didn't say anything, so as not to scare Du Nanrong.

Lin Qianguang heard the doctor and Duan Yi muttering behind him. Their voices were so soft that they could hardly hear anything, which made Lin Qian's heart itch.

"Lin Qian, hurry up, don't get stuck there." Du Nanrong urged in front.

Lin Qian responded, withdrew his mind, and continued to push forward slowly.

A group of people finally squeezed out of the antenna-like slender crack, and the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.

The vast and wide plain unfolded in front of everyone, and there was a stretch of yellow sand in the distance, as if connected to the dim skyline in the evening.

Yang Mucuo suddenly pointed to the distance excitedly, and saw a group of buildings standing on the plain in the distance.

The low earth houses built with loess are dilapidated and old, and most of the buildings are submerged in the wind, sand and wind erosion, revealing a unique desert style.

They hurried across the plain quickly.

Under those mostly earth walls that have been eroded away by the wind, you can occasionally see scorpions and small lizards hiding in corners and fleeing quickly.

The traces of human habitation are almost covered by the wind and sand.

"Here is the water well." Duan Yi said, standing in front of a mound slightly raised from the ground, he scraped off the wind and sand covering it with a knife, revealing the general outline of the well.

"Where there is a well, the probability of having water underneath is higher than in other places. If the well is dug down, water should come out." Zhang Jiuzhang's eyes lit up, and he and Duan Yi immediately went out to dig sand together.

"But it's been so long... can there still be water?" Du Nanrong hesitated, but still got down on the ground, and followed Duan Yi and Zhang Jiuzhang to dig out the sand.

Duan Yi and Yang Mucuo turned the palm beast into a beast shape, quickly dug out, and dug down to a depth of seven or eight meters in a short while, and the originally dry yellow sand gradually became wet and hard.

Duan Yi clawed down again, and suddenly a small jet of water splashed out from the bottom of the pit.

"The water is out!" Du Nanrong shouted excitedly.

A group of people immediately filled up their portable water bottles, and then they lay down at the bottom of the pit and waited for the water column in small sips, drinking slowly.

"Finally filled the kettle, or I won't feel at ease." Lin Qian said with a sigh of relief.

There is a plain in front of them, and the surface is connected with the Gobi desert. No one knows how far they have to go.

In this place where no water source can be seen at a glance, it is undoubtedly a double test of mental and physical strength.

"It's getting dark soon." Zhang Jiuzhang looked at the sky and said aloud.

The sky in the distance was dimmed, with the whitish sky and the gray sky against the backdrop, gloomy, as if it was about to rain.

Zhang Jiuzhang asked, "Which direction are we going?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a ray of red light suddenly rising from the sky on the other side of the Gobi desert, lighting up the sky brilliantly, making it extremely conspicuous.

Duan Yi's face sank suddenly, it was the flare gun he left for Xu Ying.

He understood Xu Ying's ability, if she hadn't encountered troubles that Xu Ying could not solve, she would not have used it easily.

"There is..." Du Nanrong paused.

"It's the garrison." Duan Yi said in a deep voice. He quickly put away the kettle and said to the others, "Something happened to the garrison. The flare gun only lasts for 1 minute. Find the corresponding landmark as soon as possible."

"Got it!" Lin Qian responded quickly.

Du Nanrong's palms were sweating, and he frowned: "I don't know if we'll make it in time..."

"It's too late." Duan Yi said.

He looked at the position of the flare gun, and a group of people moved quickly: "Looking at the size and brightness of the flare, it is not too far away from us. Maybe Dun Zhekang has moved again, and maybe he is approaching the base."

Du Nanrong nodded and said nothing more.

He stared closely at the bright red flare in front of him, watching helplessly as the light of the flare gradually weakened and finally went out completely.

His footsteps stopped suddenly, and he panicked.

"Keep going, don't stop!" Duan Yi shouted, "Lin Qian, give me the landmark!"

"Got it!" Lin Qian quickly followed Duan Yi.

Du Nanrong hurriedly followed, throwing away the random thoughts in his mind.

While moving at full speed, Duan Yi stopped abruptly, and the people behind him hurriedly braked to stop.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jiuzhang and others surrounded him.

In front of my eyes, the fine sand in the desert is rolling like waves without wind.

"Could this be quicksand?" Lin Qian asked in surprise.

Cheng Sheng lightly tested with the trekking pole, and saw that the trekking pole that was poked in quickly sank down with astonishing force.

Cheng Sheng opened his eyes slightly, and immediately yanked on the staff: "It's quicksand, I can't go."

Zhang Jiuzhang kicked Huangsha hard and cursed secretly.

Lin Qian wondered why quicksand suddenly appeared in such a good place, and there was no environmental factor caused by quicksand here.

He looked around, looking for an alternative path.

Yang Mucuo lay on the ground, as if he was feeling something, when he suddenly yelled, and quickly spit out a string of incomprehensible dialects.

Lin Qian looked in the direction of Yangmucuo's line of sight, and saw that between the wavy yellow sand, he could vaguely see undulating dark brown substances, like stone slabs.

Lin Qian called Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi: "Doctor, Team Duan! Come and see this!"

Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi looked at it carefully, the yellow sand was rolling, sometimes submerged, and sometimes revealed.

"What's that?" Lin Qian asked.

Cheng Sheng narrowed his eyes, turned his head and said to Duan Yi: "I probably know what it is, but I have to get closer to be sure."

Duan Yi frowned slightly when he heard the words, and he immediately took out a long rope from his backpack, tied it to himself and Cheng Sheng, tied two knots, and wrapped it around his arm a few times before saying, "Okay, hand me over." Give it to me. Watch your step."

Cheng Sheng nodded in response, and approached slowly while testing the edge of the quicksand with a trekking pole.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the moment when the yellow sand pushed the black "stone slab" out, he quickly grabbed a piece.

Cheng Sheng tore off a layer of skin that seemed to be lifted from the stone slab.

Cheng Sheng was immediately pulled back by Duan Yi and fell on Duan Yi's body.

The two got up from the ground, and Cheng Sheng stared at the piece of "stone slab skin" in his hand. The skin torn off by him had a translucent texture, and there were patterns on it, just like the patterns they found on the mountain wall.

Cheng Sheng took a deep breath, and looked at the quicksand area suddenly: "It's the edge of the turtle, and this is the edge of its movement, so quicksand is formed."

Lin Qian and Du Nanrong were all taken aback, and it took a while to realize what the doctor said.

"We're standing on a turtle shell? Is that stone slab a turtle shell? Is it the corner of the shell?" Lin Qian asked.

Cheng Sheng nodded.

Even though this giant tortoise moves slowly, its size is as large as a mountain.

A small movement will cause drastic surface changes, and the surrounding Gobi yellow sand will flow due to its movement, forming a terrible quicksand belt.

The belt of quicksand remains until it stops moving.

No wonder few people can enter and exit Dunzhekang smoothly. Entering is a threshold, and getting out is another threshold. Quicksand is the biggest difficulty restricting access to Dunzhekang.

Unless it happens that the giant tortoise is not moving, the quicksand will swallow passers-by if you are not careful.

"Then what should we do?" Du Nanrong looked at Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi, "Should we wait for it? But what about the other side of the station?"

Saxifraga said that it can pick up a person and throw it out with its arms, but I don't know if it can throw it out of the quicksand belt.

Cheng Sheng heard the sound of the saxifrage, and he looked at the saxifrage suddenly, and the saxifrage shook its petals.

He can hear the voice of the saxifrage, but why has he never heard the voice of the giant tortoise?

Could it be that Baxia, who has grown up for thousands of years, hasn't even developed wisdom?

Cheng Sheng stared at a point far away, holding his breath, trying to find the sound he wanted among the jumbled and jumbled sounds.

Ever since that time in the amusement park, Cheng Sheng got used to blocking those usually useless sounds.

Too many sounds would just distract him, and most of the time, he really didn't have to listen to anything.

Except now.

"Where is it... You should have your own thoughts and ideas, ancient creatures thousands of years old, miracles of the world..." Cheng Sheng murmured in his heart.

Slowly, after an unknown amount of time, he heard an old voice:

"I heard……"

"A very familiar voice..."
