Chapter 38

Li Cu was about to ask him, but the man said to him with a very exaggerated expression again: "Shh...". Then, the man was buried in the water all of a sudden. Li Cu was puzzled and saw the man wave his hand desperately and ask him to do it.

Li Cu had to endure the pain behind him and buried his whole body in the water. Then, he suddenly heard the sound of something hitting the metal in the pile of trucks surrounding Haizi. With a "clang", he could not see where the truck was coming from.

Then, there was another "bang", and he found that the sound seemed to have moved this time. Li Cu was very frightened. He remembered the things that had grabbed Wu Xie and Wang Meng into the sand during the day.

Li Cu held his breath and listened quietly. He slowly realized that this was not a single sound. Such a sound came from all the truck piles around him. It seemed that countless things were hitting the iron plates in the truck compartment. The sound became more and more dense, and soon the whole Haizi seemed to be symphony. The sounds one after another made the originally calm desert noisy.

Li Cu was stunned when he heard this. He almost didn't dare to breathe. He wanted to bury his entire head in the water to escape such a terrible sound. In a trance, someone patted his shoulder behind him and almost screamed. When he looked back, he saw that the person who had just fought with him had quietly wade behind him and whispered to him: "Don't worry, they can't get in."

Li Cu asked the man: "What are those?"

The man said, "It's been twenty years, and I don't know what that is. You can't see them, they're under the sand, so we put all the cars around this sea and made a circle of castles. They weren't that smart. They seemed to have a special reaction to metal things. They would attack these cars, but they couldn't get past them and into this area."

"Environment?" Wu Xie had several explanations for the layout of the convoy at that time, but it seemed that he had guessed all of them wrongly.

The man said, "These things want to drink water. After drinking water, these things will become very, very scary. They cannot touch water. So we did these measures, but we made a mistake. We trapped them outside and trapped ourselves inside. Stop talking, let's not make a sound, otherwise we will toss all night."

Li Cu listened and felt that there were still many things that still didn't understand, but he also felt that it was not the time to discuss these issues. The two of them were quietly staying in the water. The desert at night was very cold. The biting water sucked into his wounds, which made his body slowly numb and less uncomfortable. He didn't ask any questions.

I don’t know how long it took, but slowly, all the sounds calmed down.

They waited in Haizi for a long time, and the man made a move to show safety to Li Cu. The two of them carefully wade on the water and climbed to the shore, and climbed to the edge of the car that the man was staying.

Li Cu's whole body was swollen by the sea water and could not move at all. He lay on the sand and began to tremble involuntarily. The man carefully climbed behind the car with the lights on, kept digging out a box of things from the sand behind the car, took out a small jar from it, and drank it for Li Cu to drink.

Li Cu found it was a can of soju. After drinking, Li Cu felt warm. The man took a few particularly smelly military coats and put them on him. At that time, Li Cu couldn't care about so much, and after putting on the coat, he suddenly felt warm.

The two of them waited in the dark for a while before the man helped Li Cu up and walked towards the car he had been in the past. Li Cu entered the car and sat down. The man closed the door. Li Cu found that the interior of the car was well maintained. When they searched before, they would not go in when they encountered the door that could not be opened, and they obviously missed the car.

It was then that he saw the true face of this man.

This man had a big beard all over his face, his beard was like a Taoist priest in the movie, his hair and eyebrows were a little too long, and his skin on his body was not dry, looking nearly seventy or eighty years old. But judging from the man's body just now and his strength when he was fighting, this man should be in his prime. It was obviously the harsh climate that made him look like he is now.

The man was also looking at Li Cu. Looking at Li Cu, he suddenly laughed and said in Mandarin with a particularly strange accent: "I finally saw a living person. I thought I would die alone here in this life."

Li Cu looked at him and asked, "You are in this car during the day? There are three of us who keep turning around here during the day and digging these cars. You haven't seen us?"

The man shook his head and said, "No. I usually don't come out to move. Those things are very sensitive to sounds. I usually stay in this car. This car was buried in the sand before. I spent all my time in the car. I don't know how much time I will sleep. I keep sleeping until I'm so hungry that I'm so thirsty that I'll come out to move and eat something."

Li Cu thought to himself: Could it be that this guy has been sleeping in the car during their time when they were active here? It is indeed possible that because they dug out all the cars here and took a lot of time, but they did not search carefully in many cars. For them, there were too many cars here, and they could not check them in sequence. However, he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart.

This mismatch comes from Li Cu's feelings about many details about this person. The most important thing is that he thinks it is incredible that this person has lived alone for twenty years. If he lived alone for twenty years, he would definitely be crazy.
