Gudamai is a cheerful and somewhat shy ethnic minority warrior. He is a herdsman and never lacks courage and wit. Otherwise, when facing the moonlit wolf, he would not have fought with the wolf pack and rescued Hu Zhijun. However, Gudamai's handsome face is full of fear, and beads of sweat seeped out from his forehead. He held the Bayi Bar in his hand tightly with both sweat, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"What's going on? The palace of Alivasti? Who is Alivasti?"
Hu Zhijun couldn't help asking if he didn't understand what Gudamai was referring to.
"Alivasti is Alivasti!" Gudamai murmured to himself: "The omnipotent Hu Da is the highest existence, he is the only true priest in the world, the creator of all things... Hu Da warned the world... In the depths of the desert, under the sea of black sand, Alivasti's palace towers into the clouds... Anyone who sees the palace will be buried under the abyss, falls into the darkness forever, and becomes Alivasti's sacrifice..."
Hu Zhijun frowned more and more as he heard it. Of course he knew who Hu Da was what Gudama said, but the description of Alivasti was like a myth, no different from some strange local legends. As a PLA soldier, Hu Zhijun has always been a firm materialist. Although he respects Gudama's national beliefs, it will never mean that he believes in these so-called ancient legends.
What's more, don't forget that although Gudamai is a minority, he is also a PLA soldier now. How can he talk nonsense about these things? As Gudamai's platoon leader and brother, Hu Zhijun has the responsibility and obligation to help him, and must remind him to firmly stand on the revolution.
"Platform Commander, these are true!" Seeing that Hu Zhijun didn't believe his words at all, Gudamai anxiously explained: "This legend has been around for thousands of years, and our ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation. Yes, this must be the palace of Alivasti. In the legend, Alivasti's palace is in the desert without a trace, but every time it appears, it will bring disaster to the world. Platoon Commander, let's go. This place must not be stopped. Leave here immediately before Alivasti wakes up!"
In the end, the horror in Gudamai's expression became more and more serious. If it weren't for him being a People's Liberation Army soldier, he might have thrown his gun away and turned around and ran away. The fear in his heart, as well as the terrible legends passed down by his ancestors, made Gudamai try his best to escape here as soon as possible, the farther he ran, the better and the safer he was.
Hu Zhijun was immediately angry about what Gudama said. He thought that Gudama was completely superstitious, such as Hudama and Alivasti, were all false things. Of course, Hu Zhijun also knew that our party’s ethnic policy was unscrupulous to treat ethnic minority warriors like Gudama. Although he was disdainful of Gudama’s words, he also thought it would be better to leave here as soon as possible. However, his idea was to find a supply station and contact the base as soon as possible, and bring the experts back to the base to complete the task. As for what this strange building was, he did not care about it.
"Let's do it, you go and drive the car first, I'll call Lao Wan and Xiao Su now." Hu Zhijun thought for a while and said to Gudamai. Hearing this, Gudamai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to leave here was the result he wanted, and he nodded vigorously.
But who would have thought that as soon as Hu Zhijun and Gudamai finished speaking, the earth suddenly shook violently, and at the same time, a series of dull rumbling sounded suddenly from the depths of the ground.
Hu Zhijun and Gudamai, who were not prepared at all, suddenly fell to the ground and tried hard to get up, but the ground was shaking more and more violently. The soft desert was like the water surface, and it was rippling on it. It seemed that something was arching from the ground hard and squeezed to the center desperately. Not far away, they were parked 212 Jeeps that were parked not far away were like being grabbed by an invisible big hand and shook it hard. The car body made a squeaking sound, and fragments fell out along the car door, gradually lifting the front of the car, and the rear of the car began to sink down along the tilted quicksand. In a blink of an eye, most of the car body was buried in the sand.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Earthquake? Is it an earthquake?!"
Not far from Hu Zhijun and the others, Wan Changchun and Su Yichen, who were analyzing the metal on the surface of the building just now, were also shocked by this sudden change. However, compared with Hu Zhijun, Su Yichen and the others were on the side of the building, subconsciously relying on the building to barely maintain their physical balance.
"It's over! Everything is over, Alivasti! Alivasti must have discovered us!" At this moment, Gudamai raised his head in despair and watched the surrounding deserts fluctuate like waves. With them as the center, the desert within a radius of almost a few kilometers had undergone tremendous changes, and only the central building seemed to be the same.
"Omnipotent Hu Da! I ask you to forgive us and save us!" The desperate Gudamai did not pick up the rifle that was around him, but opened his hands into the sky and murmured to himself. At this time, his faith and tradition finally defeated his identity as a People's Liberation Army soldier, and only hoped that the god in his heart could save himself.
Hu Zhijun, who fell to the ground, had a small leg sinking into the sand. He finally pulled out his leg, but the vibration in the desert became more and more intense, and the sand around him also changed in the vibration. The sand that was tilted downward turned into quicksand. Hu Zhijun, who had been in the northwest for a long time, knew the power of quicksand. If you accidentally fell into quicksand, even if you had the ability to reach heaven, you would not be able to escape the end of being buried in the sand. In an instant, Hu Zhijun made the most correct choice. He did not try to continue standing up, but directly threw himself on the spot with his body, and then rolled desperately towards Su Yichen and the others, and tried to approach the building with his outstanding military qualities.
The distance of ten meters was only a few seconds for walking, but at this moment, time seemed to pass very slowly. Hu Zhijun rolled and approached quickly. Just as he immediately approached the edge of the building, a piece of quicksand under him suddenly sank rapidly and almost got trapped in it. Fortunately, he used all his strength to pounce forward desperately. At this time, Su Yichen also tried his best to reach out to him, grabbed Hu Zhijun's arm and pulled him over with all his strength.
"Old Hu, are you okay?" Lifting against the edge of the building, the vibration here was the smallest. He pulled Hu Zhijun to his side with force, and Su Yichen asked hurriedly.
Hu Zhijun was already injured. At this time, his wound had broken down during the intense exercise, and half of his body almost lost his feelings. At the same time, a heat flow flowed down from his back. He gasped and knew that the heat flow must be the blood gushing out of the wound after the crack, but how could he care about this at this time? Gripping his teeth, with the help of Su Yichen, barely stood up against the building, and then he hurriedly looked at the location where Gudamai was.
"Gudamai!Gudamai!"
"Xiao Gu! Come here quickly, Xiao Gu!"
Hu Zhijun, Wan Changchun and Su Yichen, the three of them shouted anxiously at Gudamai, but Gudamai seemed to have completely lost the desire to survive at this time. Half of his body had been trapped in the quicksand, and his upper body still reached out and looked up at the sky, with a desperate and pious expression on his face, and he murmured that he was thinking about something.
"Xiao Gu! Gudamai...!"
There was another huge shock, and a sand dune that had been arched at some point was like a wave, hitting Gudamai's position. Under the eyes of the three of them, Gudamai's figure was instantly swallowed by the tilted quicksand. Until finally, Gudamai failed to leave even a last word, and was buried deep in the quicksand layer, thus completely disappearing in front of them.
