[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

Going up, it was too high to get a full picture. Aning fired a signal flare, which immediately illuminated the darkness above, and it was a wreckage of something.

"I'll go up to have a look, and you guys will respond below." Gu Ran said to Aning.

Gu Ran's movements were quick, and before Aning could speak, he saw that he had already climbed up several meters with a dagger and a climbing pick, and reached the bottom of the huge monster.

"It's a broken ship." Gu Ran shouted down, and he did the math again, "It should be inside, I'll go in and have a look, you guys come up."

Gu Ran climbed into the boat cautiously. The surrounding area was covered with mud. Gu Ran quickly searched around, walked to the end of the cabin, and found a hole the size of a round table inside, which had collapsed. A person is buried in it, a Tibetan.

"He's here!" Gu Ran yelled outside, then he turned over and jumped into the hole, felt his pulse, he was still alive, but needed to be treated as soon as possible, so he quickly dug him out with a dagger and a climbing pick.

Gu Ran hesitated for a moment, took out a bottle of medicine, fed someone one, hanged his life, then put the person on his back, climbed out with great effort, and put the Tibetan on the ground of the sunken ship. At this time, Aning They also climbed up.

Together with Gu Ran, Aning transported the Tibetans out of the sunken ship and climbed down the slope with Gu Ran on his back. Thanks to his good skills, otherwise he would have fallen down long ago.

The team doctor had prepared everything, Gu Ran put the Tibetan on the ground and prepared to rescue him.

The team doctor cut the Tibetan's clothes and found that there were twenty or thirty wounds on his stomach, as if he had been stabbed by something. He asked Gu Ran if he had noticed, and Gu Ran shook his head. He was sure that there was absolutely nothing under the sunken ship that could cause this A wounded metal object.

When the team doctor examined the Tibetan, he said "Hey" and said, "He was injured so badly, he was fine if he didn't die, and he didn't even need to be rescued. It's a miracle."

Gu Ran said: "I gave him a medicine, it's dead, otherwise the cardiopulmonary resuscitation may not be able to save him now."

Aning was surprised: "What medicine? You brought the medicine yourself?"

Gu Ran thought for a while, took out a small medicine bottle and gave it to Aning, and said helplessly, "I'm not Wu Xie, I just thought I came to Golmud to visit the nursing home, and I didn't bring anything with me. Although I came out in a hurry, but Definitely have to be prepared.”

Ah Ning didn't understand medicine, so he handed the medicine bottle to the team doctor. After the team doctor bandaged the Tibetan's wound, he opened the medicine bottle, poured out a pill and smelled it, his eyes lit up, and the way he looked at Gu Ran was like looking at some rare treasure. .If it weren't for the fact that the team doctor and Gu Ran were really unfamiliar, they would have had a long talk with them.

Gu Ran was taken aback by this look. He thought that Aning brought people from the foreign system, and the team doctors were Western doctors, but he didn't expect that the team doctors could see the wild way of mixing Chinese and Western medicine like him. secret.

Gu Ran was also tired, too lazy to waste time talking with the team doctor, so he waved his hands and said, "The medicine is given to you, you can figure it out for yourself, don't ask me." After saying that, Gu Ran got into his sleeping bag to rest.

The advantage of Aning's team over Wu Sansheng and Chen Pi Asi's team is that these people are more well-trained and more elegant, at least they don't snore loudly when they sleep.

Gu Ran managed to get a good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Aning's people were sorting out the equipment, and some people were cleaning up the things in the wrecked ship. It was a mess, and Gu Ran was too lazy to get up, so he continued to lie in his sleeping bag and take a nap.

Not long after, Wu Xie came to call him, and Gu Ran couldn't continue lying down, so he got up and went to see what they found with Wu Xie.

Aning's men cleared out many jars from the wreck, and opened one of them. When they saw it, they found a human head inside, with rotten skin and flesh, the hair was very hard, and the outline of a skeleton was very obvious.

This is the tradition of the Xiwangmu tribe. When a child is two or three years old, put his head in a clay pot. When he grows up, he cuts off his head, seals the pot, and gives it to the Queen Mother of the West as a tribute.

As soon as Gu Ran approached, he heard a sneer, and then he saw the people around the head jar jump up, and someone shouted: "Look, the head is moving!"

Gu Ran's heart skipped a beat. He had studied the Queen Mother of the West in his early years, especially the content related to longevity. Although he had never been to the Queen Mother of the West, some conjectures had not been confirmed, but this did not affect his uneasiness when he saw these human head jars.

If his previous guess is correct, these human head jars are not only used for sacrifices, but also serve as a petri dish to raise corpse kings.

Gu Ran pulled Wu Xie back a step, and then saw the head shaking, the soil cracked, and two blood-red bugs crawled out. It was the Corpse King seen in Lu Palace!

Gu Ran shouted: "These bugs cannot be touched, whoever touches them will die, run!"

It's a pity that his words didn't have any deterrent effect on Aning's people. Several people took off their clothes and slapped the bugs, but the corpse king's action speed was much faster than people's. Lots of bugs.

"Run!" Gu Ran yelled, picked up his equipment bag with one hand, dragged Wu Xie out with the other hand, Wu Xie pulled Ah Ning, and the three of them ran all the way, reaching a corner, Wu Xie stopped when he saw the stone marks made by Tashi. He couldn't understand these marks.

Gu Ran couldn't understand it either, but he still remembered a little bit of where he came from. He pointed in a direction and continued to run with Wu Xie and Aning.

After running for more than ten minutes, the corpse king was still flying behind them. This is not an option.

Gu Ran looked around and found a depression in the mound, pushed Wu Xie and Aning, "Hide there."

This depression is not big enough to accommodate two people. Gu Ran squatted outside, scratched his palm, dripped a few drops of blood on the ground regularly, and whispered: "Hold your breath, everything is mine." Then he held his breath and held the dagger.

The Corpse King flew past them in a swarm, without staying for a moment. Occasionally, a few of them flew in this direction, and they also crashed to death on the mound, posing no threat to them.

The corpse king flew away for a minute or two, and the three of Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Ran's hands were a little soft, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and said with a wry smile: "I really never thought that I could have such a thing in this life." experience."

"Gu Ran, what's going on, your blood..." Wu Xie hesitated to speak, pointing to the blood on the ground.

Gu Ran took a few deep breaths, regardless of who Aning belonged to, and explained: "This is a simple trick to make the Corpse King think that there is no one here, and my blood should have a certain deterrent effect on them. , so as long as you don't make a sound, there is a high probability that you can hide."

"High probability?" Wu Xie twitched the corner of his mouth. Based on his understanding of Gu Ran, the absolute probability is not high.

Gu Ran said embarrassedly: "[-]% sure." He waved his hand and forcefully explained: "[-]% sure is not bad, there are so many corpse kings, the dumb ones can only run when they come, and we can't escape the corpses Wang, if you run like a headless chicken, we will get lost in the devil city."

Wu Xie nodded. He himself just made a joke subconsciously to brighten up the atmosphere. Just now, life and death were on the line, and he was really too nervous.

The three of them came out of the depression, sat down on some stones, and rested for a while. Aning asked, "What kind of bugs are these? How much do you know? What is your background?" She pointed at Gu Ran in the last sentence.

Wu Xie explained the corpse king they saw in Lu Palace, and told everything he knew. As for Gu Ran's background, he didn't explain, and looked at Gu Ran.

Gu Ran thought for a while, and gave a very vague answer: "It's about the same background as Dumb Zhang." As for the background and purpose of the corpse king, he didn't say much.

Wu Xie looked around, they had already run to a strange place, there was no sign of Tashi's pile of stones around, so he asked Gu Ran: "What should we do now?"

Gu Ran stained the ground with a handful of blood that hadn't dried up, pinched his knuckles, and felt that there was no problem with the general direction, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "I can take you out."

Gu Ran opened his equipment bag, picked up things outside, and said: "We only have this little equipment. If we go out from now on, it will take half a day. We must eat and drink before we go on the road. Hurry up, get out before dark, or you'll freeze to death inside."

Apparently, now that Gu Ran has become the backbone of the three-person team, Ah Ning had just been saved by him, so he listened to him, and just asked, "Where are the others?"

Gu Ran shook his head: "We ran ahead, so we couldn't be distracted to see where they are. But judging from the current situation, a large number of corpse kings are flying with us, and there should not be many scattered to their side. If you are lucky, with Tashi leading the way, they can come out."

There was not much dry food in Gu Ran's bag, and there were only two bottles of water. The three of them divided up the dry food and drank half a bottle of water. After resting for an hour, they were ready to go on the road.

Every time he turns at an intersection, Gu Ran will stop and calculate for a while, and then move on, sometimes the calculation time is even longer than the traveling time.

Wu Xie saw that Gu Ran's face was getting worse and worse, and asked, "Gu Ran, can you still find the way?"

Gu Ran was silent for a while and nodded: "Yes, I was just thinking whether we should go out or go in."

"Go in?" Aning asked, "What do you mean?"

Gu Ran explained: "I just discovered something. When we were hiding from the corpse king, we ran to another devil city. It was not the one that Tashi said. So I have a guess, it should be a city made of ghosts. The Great Gobi formed by many ghost cities. I also found traces of the five elements and eight trigrams in it.
