Chapter 40
"We went all the way down. No matter how we turned around, we couldn't find the end of the cable under the dune because it was buried too deep. In other words, the people we contacted before seemed to be contacting us underground.
Because we were just a transport convoy and were affiliated with the entire factory, we didn't know who to report this matter to, so we sent the telegram to many departments. Many departments gave us strange explanations, most of which were unaware of it. Even their local military districts did not understand what the task they had been performing.
But the military chief decided to let some of them go back to transport supplies and replenish supplies so that they won't be trapped in it."
This was their last time to obtain supplies. After the convoy transporting supplies returned, they received the order to stand by on standby. On the third day, all their contacts with the outside world were cut off. They found that they could not communicate with the outside world by telegram, and the telephone line under the sand had no signal. At first they didn't care, after all, they had gasoline and were very familiar with the route.
But slowly, they found that many strange changes were beginning to occur in the sand dunes around them. The direct consequence of these changes was that many of them suddenly disappeared.
After all, they were in the army. For them, this situation meant a threat and also meant that there were enemies moving nearby. There was no peace nearby. They stepped up patrols and sent people to look for any clues.
Soon several reconnaissance teams sent out discovered a very strange phenomenon. They found that the sand dunes here became different from before. The sand they saw at first disappeared, and white spots appeared on the dunes. The white spots slowly expanded, as if the yellow nutrients in the entire sand were slowly absorbed by something under the sand.
The white spots are getting bigger and bigger, and slowly the entire desert turns white. The white desert can reflect the bright sunshine more, and their living conditions are even worse.
The personnel are still disappearing, and many reconnaissance teams go away after they go out. They cannot communicate with their superiors, and the teams sent out to contact the outside world and seek reinforcements have not come back, and the situation is getting worse and worse. Several of the squad leaders and platoon leaders began to discuss, and they found that everyone disappeared in the two periods before sunrise and after dusk. This is like a spell, and many people disappeared in the tent.
No one noticed anything. They were very, very nervous. Everyone felt that the next one might be themselves.
Finally, the platoon leader gave an order, and he ordered everyone to connect themselves with a rope when they were sleeping. That night, three more people disappeared, but this measure made it clear at a glance how they disappeared.
While sleeping, a few soldiers suddenly found that the rope was being pulled hard. When they woke up, they found that the person beside them seemed to be dragged under the sand by something. Because they were tied to the rope, they were not completely dragged down. This force was very, very strong, and the person tied to the rope was also pulled under the sand.
The people immediately shouted, "Everyone woke up and pulled them hard together to pull them out of the sand." Only then did they realize that something seemed to be hidden in these dunes, and dragged them into the sand while they were sleeping.
The rest of the people became more and more nervous. They found that they could not sleep in the tent, so they gathered their cars and slept in the car.
That night, the sound of countless things coming from under the car hitting the bottom of the car. They fired guns at the sand before forcing the things back. The platoon leader thought this was too strange. He felt that under such circumstances, everyone should not stay in this place anymore, so he ordered all the staff to start retreating.
Just as they were preparing, a change that they had unexpectedly expected came.
The man said to Li Cu: "Our convoy started to refuel and line up. When we were about to leave, the desert was alive and it didn't want us to leave at all."
"Living?" Li Cu was stunned when he heard this. Although the man's narration was very confusing, he could hear it very clearly.
The man nodded: "The desert is alive, and all the signs indicate that the desert is alive." As he said that, the man pointed to Li Cu's back: "Can you let me see your back, the picture on your back, I want to see if it's the same as what I saw at that time?"
"Same?" Li Cu looked at the man's eyes, feeling that the man's eyes had a power that made him feel that there would definitely be some result after agreeing to his request.
He started to take off his military coat, and half of it. He suddenly stopped. He asked the man, "No, uncle, what you said is too casual. Why does it seem like you were carved?"
