Chapter 31
Looking around, Li Cu asked Wang Meng: "Why do these soldiers have to encircle these trucks for Haizi?" During their inspection and exploration just now, they discovered at least three hundred taels of trucks like this, and everyone died around the truck.
Judging from this arrangement, this layout cannot be accidental, and it is obviously a circular campground composed of trucks.
Regarding the arrangement of trucks around Haizi, Wu Xie felt that the judgment of these soldiers was correct at that time. Because there were too many cars here, if such parking was not adopted, such as a long snake array, many trucks would park in a particularly far away from Haizi, and it would not be convenient to fetch water and cook. After all, one of the most important things to pay attention to in the desert is to try to get close to the water source as much as possible.
Wu Xie lit a cigarette found from the mummy. Although the thing was so dry that it was completely devoid of moisture, it was better than nothing. Then he said to Wang Meng: "In addition to this conventional explanation, there are two more possibilities.
One is: before the sandstorm comes, they want to protect Haizi in this way and prevent it from being buried by the sandstorm, so that they may survive here for a longer time.
A convoy of more than 300 trucks was trapped in the desert, and their chances of survival were quite great, because they had sufficient manpower and material resources, and there were enough ways to send people out to find rescue. They just need to concentrate resources on a few vehicles and go out in several directions to reach the place where humans gather. But they were still trapped here. This is abnormal, and it may be caused by an unprecedented sandstorm."
When Li Cu saw Wu Xie say these words, his face was not particularly calm. So he asked Wu Xie: "What about another possibility? From your expression, I think you are more inclined to the second possibility."
Wu Xie sighed and said, "Actually, in many cases, the things I encounter have very strange results. That is to say, the odds are the most likely situations. Now, the second possibility I speculate is a bit bizarre, but the first possibility, you feel that there is no flaw in it. In fact, many things we deduce from the phenomenon, and there are many strange details we instinctively avoid talking about.
For example, will this Haizi really be swallowed up by a sandstorm? Such a big Haizi, no matter how big the sandstorm is, this kind of thing cannot be completely covered, because if you throw sand into the water, the water level will get higher and higher, and the Haizi will become bigger and bigger, but the Haizi will not disappear.”
"Boss, then I think we should not listen to the second situation you are considering. If the second one is really right, then we will definitely be in trouble."
Wu Xie glanced at him and continued, "The other situation is that they are actually surrounded by this piece of Haizi with these trucks. They want to trap Haizi, but they don't want Haizi to leave."
"Track Haizi?" Wang Meng said: "Why do they want to trap Haizi?"
Wu Xie shook his head: "I don't know this. If it is the second type, it is obvious that they failed in the end."
This statement is a bit terrifying. Li Cu felt it was unlikely. He believed that all things such as reasoning should be inferred based on facts, and this idea was completely a conjecture. He felt even more that Wu Xie's mind was somewhat abnormal in some aspects. He retorted: "This sea can move freely in the desert, and it is made of water, so how can anyone stop it?"
"I said this is just an idea and a possibility. Besides, we don't know how Haizi moves, how do you know that you can't stop it?"
Li Cu sighed. He was actually a more realistic person. He thought that this way of thinking was meaningless. So he changed his words and said, "It's no result after saying so much. The most important thing for us now is to survive. Boss Wu, do you think we can survive? With your experience, you should have a rough grasp."
Wu Xie said: "I can't make a conclusion yet. Anyway, these more than 300 cars and a team of thousands of people are all dead here. If the power that trapped them back then is still there, then we will definitely be in danger. Our only advantage is your boss. I know these things in particular, so I am neither afraid nor afraid now.
I believe that in my experience, if there are any strange factors here, as long as water maintains life, you can slowly figure it out, so this Haizi is really important to us."
Wu Xiezheng said, Li Cu suddenly thought of something and asked Wang Meng: "Deputy Manager Wang, did you see fish in Haizi when you went down?"
Wang Meng shook his head and said, "Where do you come from this kind of fish? Even if there are fish, the number is quite rare and it will definitely be difficult to catch. If you are hungry and want to eat fish, I can try to catch some. However, there are a lot of ready-made marinated meats, and I think it will definitely taste good if you cook them in water." After that, Wang Meng also glanced at Wu Xie.
Li Cu thought about it and found that the cured meat he was talking about was referring to the mummies. He was sweating in cold sweat at that time. He looked at Wu Xie and wanted to judge whether Wang Meng was a joke based on Wu Xie's reaction.
Wu Xie said, "This is not bad. Alas! I didn't expect that I encountered a dangerous situation of going through life and death very often. Whenever I was ammunition and food were exhausted, I was ready to eat the dried meat of the dead, but what I didn't expect was that I could end up being safe every time.
This time, God has prepared so much air-dried meat for me. Do you want me to make up for all the things I didn’t eat before at once?”
Wang Meng continued: "Human meat tastes similar to that beef jerky, and the moisture is gone, it doesn't matter." After that, he also patted Li Cu: "It's good that you get used to it."
Li Cu asked Wu Xie with furrows all over his body: "You have eaten it? Or have you tasted it a little?"
Wang Meng shook his head, and Wu Xie shook his head too.
Li Cu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then why are you doing so confidently?"
Wu Xie said, "Then you don't understand. If you do our business, the more terrifying the things you have, the more you have to be downplayed, the more you have to be downplayed. When you really encounter them...why? You will be less painful."
Li Cu said, "Bah! I am not as stupid as you, this is too lying to deceive myself."
Wu Xie said: "Young man, when you really have no ammunition and food, it will be too late for you to think so. I don't care about you. Anyway, you are our reserved grain. When we get tired of eating, we will eat a living."
Li Cu spat again. He didn't realize how profound experience and wisdom Wu Xie's words contained. Li Cu was completely unaware that the most serious problem they were facing first was the distribution of limited food. Wang Meng and Wu Xie said this seemingly nonsense joke is actually to avoid the most troublesome "early trust" collapse in most predicaments.
