Chapter Sixteen: Kill Him?

  A figure stumbled and staggered in the distance, shouting as it emerged from the sand of the desert, taking a step and rolling with each movement, like a crab.

  At that moment, I vaguely heard a cry for help of 'Save me, save me'.

  "There's someone in front, Ah Qing, Ah Ping, you two follow me to take a look." Da Hei immediately pulled out a gun and several people got off the car and walked towards the front.

  "Let's go take a look," Yu Gang suggested.

  Then, I followed Yu Gang down from the car with a thud.

  Dahei and his men were running at an extremely fast speed. He let out a terrified cry: "It's the Great Army."

  Yu Gang and I saw them retreating backwards, still firing several shots at the figure in the distance, seemingly without hitting it.

  Isn't he supposed to be a great general? Why did you have to shoot him?

  "Hurry up and catch him..."

  He pulled me back and signaled me not to go any further, saying "What are you doing going over there?"

  What?

  I also thought he was buried in the sand because at that time our troops were in tents and all of our campsites were buried in the sand.

  So, in such a situation, it's definitely impossible to survive.

  Who is he?

  I didn't even have time to ask, and all I heard was a miserable cry for help. My heart skipped a beat as I saw Ah Qiang being pinned down by that figure, probably hurt or something.

  Aping's face was terrified, his breathing rapid, and his face was red with suffocation. He stuttered: "Monster... monster..."

  The big black hand holding a gun at the man's shadow suddenly fired several shots, and it was estimated that one of them hit him. The man's shadow struggled for a moment before jumping away.

  In that one second, I saw a very obvious death mark on his face, the man was dancing wildly and jumping around, shouting frantically with a sharp voice.

  Listening carefully, it turned out to be what Xiaolabu said before.

  That crazy look really gave me a big fright.

  By the time I realized it was Da Jun from our team, he was already charging towards us. That blood-stained face of his was twisted into a strange smile.

  At this moment, Huang Daxian's figure quickly blocked in front of me, his left hand flashed lightning-fast to grab the general's neck, and his right hand pinched, that unintelligible language stopped abruptly.

  With a "crack", the general's neck let out a crisp cracking sound, Huang Daxian was stunned for a moment before loosening his grip, staring blankly at Lin Wuxuan who was smiling in front of him.

  I stared intently at the general's neck, his eyes suddenly widened and he smiled at us, that kind of smile sounded extremely terrifying, originally that face looked very ugly, but this face became even more frightening.

  "Damn it, just like before, it's really disgusting." Yu Gang cursed and couldn't help but retch to one side.

  "Tie him up." Came Tang Guangze's voice from behind, sounding very serious.

  On the neck of the great army, a clear blood line appeared at some unknown time.

  Huang Daxian picked up the severed head and casually tossed it aside, saying:

  "The sword is fine, the person is fine too... it's still possible to leave now..."

  Lin Wu Xuan's expressionless face gently wiped his Mitsubishi military dagger, as if he hadn't heard Huang Da Xian's words.

  "Great Immortal, wasn't it said that you would spare their lives? Why did you kill them?" Tang Guangze said with a displeased expression as he looked at the head on the ground.

  "Don't worry, if such a thing appears, it won't be just one or two. Who knows, maybe later you'll want to avoid them but can't. Besides, the one who killed this monster wasn't me, it was that little brother with the knife..." Huang Daxian said with a smile."

  I watched their interaction and got a headache again, always feeling that this scene added a few points of mystery to everything.

  This mysterious old man, Tang Guangze was being extremely cautious, while Lin Wuxuan's eyes gleamed with an ungraspable chill.

  These people seem to be connected somehow.

  They seem to have deliberately tried to 'touch' this devil desert.

  Tang Guangze's face sank as he looked at the corpse on the ground, and without saying a word, he walked towards the car.

  I stood there in a daze, staring at the corpse for a while before watching them bury it. Suddenly, I felt someone push my back, and I quickly turned around to find Yu Gang making eyes at me, as if he had something to say to me.

  "You found out, didn't you?" Yu Gang patted his chest and said with a lingering fear: "This thing has appeared in front of us again, this is the second time already. Who knows what other unlucky things we'll run into."

  Again?

  I furrowed my brow and looked at the bloodstain on the sand with suspicion. This was, after all, the second time something like this had happened.

  The same madness, speaking a language that no one understands, with the same word carved on their face.

  What does this mean?

  Then Yu Gang told me that in the several hours after the sandstorm, they drove for a few hours and also encountered such things.

  That is to say, including Xiaolongbao, there are three in total, front and back.

  They all said those words, and the old professor knew what they meant.

  Why do they all say the same thing?

  Is this intimidating us? Or reminding us?

  I used to think that someone had discovered something dangerous and was warning us in this way, but now, with one discovery after another, it's hard not to recall the strange and mysterious events of the reconnaissance team. All the people, only one person came back.

  A team of at least several dozen people, what on earth happened to lead to that? It seems that only Huang Daxian knows the answer, otherwise, with such a strange occurrence happening, our entire team would have been wiped out.

  Their behavior is definitely not wanting us to go to the desert, not wanting us to discover that lost civilization, maybe it has something to do with the curse.

  I watched Huang Daxian's figure for a long time. After they buried the bodies of the defeated army, everyone got on the car and continued to move forward.

  On our car, Aqing was injured and was wounded by the irrational army. Dahei is helping him bandage, I'm sitting opposite with Yu Gang, watching them bandaging.

  That wound is very big and looks very obvious, because it's on the face, so it looks shocking, just like those on Xiaojiaobu's face before.

  Bang...

  I recalled the dead word on Xiao Lai Bu's face, my heart skipped a beat, and looking at the scar on A Qing's face, I inexplicably superimposed them together.

  At that moment, my heart almost screamed out loud, it was a wound that was exactly the same.

  The next second, Da Hei's face was tightly wrinkled, his eyes locked onto A Qing and asked, "Is this wound self-inflicted? Why?"

  Yu Gang suddenly shouted and pointed at A Qing, loudly shouting: "How could you..."

  A'qing raised his head, with a hint of a smile on his lips. He suddenly let out a loud roar in our direction, his crazed appearance startling us all.

  "You will all die... Hurry back."

  This time, he was speaking Chinese, not some unintelligible language.

  "Shut up..." Da Hei suddenly revealed an angry expression, he stood up, and the chair was pushed by him, instantly tilting over. With one hand, he grabbed Ah Qing's neck and slapped him twice.

  "If you utter one more nonsense, I'll beat you to death." Da Hei cursed with a pale complexion.

  Suddenly, Ah Qiang didn't know where he got a small knife from, he tightly grasped it in his hand, the eerie smile on his mouth made me suddenly realize that this guy wanted to kill someone.

  Then the most bizarre thing happened, Ah Qing held that small knife and started carving his face with it, one cut at a time. The speed was so fast that I could barely see it clearly. He gave us an eerie smile, and his gruesome appearance thoroughly frightened me.

  Yu Gang pointed at A Qing and opened his mouth, squeezing out a sentence with unclear articulation: "That word..."

  Suddenly appearing in my field of vision was a dead word, just carved out by the knife, and the owner, Aqing, didn't even let out a cry during this process. Before I could catch my breath, Aqing's mouth erupted with a language we couldn't understand, full of unintelligible sounds.

  When I heard this language, my heart suddenly cooled down, and it's all the same language. The old professor said that you will all die.

  Of course, Aqing's crazy appearance scared us so much that we almost forgot to react until Dahei trembled and took out a syringe from the "medicine" box and injected it into Aqing's arm. After a while, Aqing stopped shouting and his mouth opened and closed as if repeating what he had just said.

  "How could this be?" Ah Ping cried out in terror, his entire body tense with anxiety.

  Da He rushed towards the driver and shouted for him to stop the car. The driver shifted the car to one side and brought it to a halt.

  "Aping, hurry up and get Huang Daxian over here to take a look." Dahei ordered, holding down Aqing with one hand.

  After Ah Ping got off the bus, Da Hei looked up at me and said to Yu Gang, "You two get off first."

  I opened my mouth, wanting to speak when Yu Gang pulled me and signaled me not to interfere. Then I glanced at Ah Qing on the seat and got off the bus.

  As soon as we got off the bus, Huang Daxian and Tang Guangze came over. They directly boarded the bus and closed the door.

  "It's still the same, this is already the fourth one." Dahei said.

  I stood outside with Yu Gang, unable to see the situation inside, but I could hear the voices. After a while, when I thought they were going to come down, I heard Huang Daxian's voice: "This is a kind of disease, one-third of the reconnaissance team died in such situations back then, it's inevitable, they are warning us..."

  Huang Daxian's voice was very low and heavy, and it was impossible to hear any emotion in it.

  "Be more careful at night, don't let it take advantage of your weakness." Tang Guangze's tone sounded even worse.

  What?

  What kind of person is he?

  Why did those people end up like that, their behavior is more like a dance, their language is all the same. What's with that huge dead word?

  Is it really warning us, all who enter will die?
