Just as the yellow sand was buried in our necks and was about to swallow us, Shunzi, Big Man and Mantou rushed over in time, and three ropes were thrown down. The three of us were lucky. When the desert was buried under our noses, we hurriedly grabbed the rope.
"Chongyi is coming up quickly." Mantou roared and pulled me up from the vortex of the desert with a sudden force.
Shunzi and the big guy were also smooth, Jiao Ba and Chang Shan were all pulled out. We were trapped in this swamp-like desert vortex, which was completely pulled out by the power of the three of them, and we had no ability at all.
Just as we rushed out, the big-headed monsters crawled out of the vortex of the desert again. Since I had just crawled back from the edge of death, I was almost infuriated. I raised the gun in my hand and swept it wildly. These damn ghosts almost killed me. There was nothing else in my heart except resentment, and I wanted to tear them into pieces.
Jiao Ba and the big man were like me. They picked up shotguns and bombarded them. The big man was shouting, "Come on, I'll take you to see God."
"Longyi, go quickly, stop hitting me." Chang Shan grabbed my arm and turned around and was about to run.
I grabbed the big man's shoulder and "left."
But as I grabbed his shoulder, the big man's feet were actually grabbed by the big monster. I instinctively wanted to pull him away, but unfortunately I was not strong enough, so I heard the big man's scream, "Fuck, I'm caught." Then he shortened his body and his entire lower body was buried in the desert.
I didn't even think about it at that time, and shook Chang Shan's hand away, turned around and ran back. When Shunzi saw that I was back, he was anxiously shouting behind me, "Brother Yi, don't go over."
"You guys go quickly, don't worry about me." It's enough for me to go back alone. In this kind of crisis, try to live as much as possible. When they came back just now, they were actually risking their lives to save them.
The big man was in danger, and the big-headed monsters were surrounded by him. He struggled to death, making a roar on the verge of death from his mouth. The scream was heartbreaking and unbearable.
I didn't want to go back, but I had to go back. If it weren't for saving the three of us, how could the big man face a desperate situation? But just as I was about to rush over, a figure rushed over quickly from the other side, and it turned out to be a steamed bun. Since he became a living dead, everything has changed a lot. Speed alone is much faster than before. The whole person seems to have been completely reborn. No dead person is, it is clearly the incarnation of a wild beast.
He grabbed the big man's hand and pulled him out hard, but because the big man was surrounded by the big monster, Mantou had to use his other hand to shoot. Originally, his strength was limited by himself. Even if his ability became stronger, he could not reach the strength of fighting with one hundred, which was obviously very difficult.
I roared and rushed forward. I rushed forward with force and grabbed the big man's arm, "pull hard, hurry."
"Don't worry about me, you guys go." Huangsha had almost buried the big man's head. He held his head back and said a word reluctantly. Now he seemed to be in despair. His eyes that looked like death were the best proof.
"What the hell are you talking about? Pull it up with steamed buns." I yelled like crazy, feeling the flames burning in my body. An unprecedented force began to explode in my body. It was anger that stimulated my potential.
"Come on me." I roared angrily, and Mantou pulled the big man back from the group of devils. The big man finally came out when he rolled and crawled. He put down his rifle, fell to the ground and started firing.
I pulled him up and shouted, "Don't fucking shoot, go quickly, Mantou is gone, don't hit him."
Mantou stood in front of us, blocking these terrible monsters for us. I originally thought that as long as the big man could come out, the three of us would escape successfully. Unfortunately, I was completely wrong. I underestimated these big-headed monsters too much.
When I pulled the big man and turned around and ran away, I heard the steamed bun roar, "Ah..."
When I turned around and looked over, I was stunned. In that moment, Mantou was buried by the desert whirlpool, leaving only one hand exposed outside. I wanted to go back to save him, but I knew that this was impossible. He was surrounded by the big-headed monster, and had blocked the way to rescue him. Even if I rushed over now, it was too late. He had been flooded by the yellow sand.
But I was unwilling to leave him alone. I stared at all this with wide eyes. The whole sky seemed to turn gray. The last hand of the steamed bun disappeared from the desert. When the wind blew, nothing was left. Only those monsters that were neither human nor ghost were walking towards us step by step.
The veins on my forehead were leaping around, and the anger almost burned me. I couldn't control it anymore, "This... these devils, I'm going to kill them, I'm going to kill them completely."
I pulled out my diving knife and planned to fight them to death, but the big man hugged my waist and shouted, "Zhongyi, don't go, Mantou is dead, he is dead, this may be a relief for him."
The big man's words made me calm down instantly. He was right. Mantou was originally a dead person. Maybe leaving now is a good thing for him. No need to wait for the arrival of the god of death.
"Let's go quickly." The big man and I turned around and started running. The others were gone, compared to them, they had already escaped from this dangerous area.
We both ran all the way, and my mind was blank. I could not think of anything except survival. I didn’t know how long it took to run before I gradually saw the shadow of Mai and the others. Originally, they did not leave us behind, but were waiting ahead.
When they saw the two of us come back, they were both very excited. Li Xin even came up to hug me, and Jenny hugged us one by one with tears in her eyes. For us, the current team is not a partner relationship, nor a boss or an employee, but a feeling that is closer to relatives.
"By the way, where is the steamed bun? Why didn't the steamed bun come back?" Jenny asked anxiously when she saw the steamed bun.
I shook my head gently with a cold face and said, "He...he's dead, sorry, I can't save him."
"What? He died of Mantou?" Jenny asked sadly.
The big man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "He was buried in the desert whirlpool. Zhongyi and I want to save him, but... we don't have that ability. Those big-headed monsters have surrounded the steamed buns to death. In desperation, we both just need to come back first."
"So... you two left your companions and ran away first?" Martin said something very unpleasant at this time.
The big man suddenly became angry, "Hey, Martin, what do you mean? What do you mean by leaving your companions? I and Zhongyi have no choice but to do this. Do you think we are willing."
"What's the use of saying nonsense? In the final analysis, haven't you just run back by yourself?" Martin said with a look of contempt at the big man.
I walked up to Martin, squinted and asked, "American, are you trying to sow discord? If you dare to say such things again, do you believe it or not, I will let you buried in this desert."
"You...hum, but that's the case, is your team like this? You keep saying nothing but abandoning anyone, but it's not the same at this moment of life and death." Martin sneered.
"Go to your uncle, then what did you do at that time? You ran faster than anyone else." The big man pointed at him and cursed.
"Okay, stop scolding, Mantou is not dead yet, look." Old Mai pointed forward casually.
When I turned around, I was stunned. A fat body was running towards us quickly. This man was really a steamed bun. His body was covered in yellow sand and his face was covered in dust. It was obvious that he had just crawled out of the bottom of the desert. I couldn't believe that he actually crawled out by himself.
"What a monster, I can live this." Shao Yu said stutteringly with a pale face.
Mantou quickly turned with us. He looked good, but he still didn't feel tired. "Damn, why don't you wait for me for a while? Fortunately, I'm fast enough, otherwise I won't catch up with you."
"That's great, it's good that you're back. We were all worried about you just now." Jenny said happily with a smile.
"You... are you okay?" I looked him up and down. He did not have the breath of a human being when he ran, nor any scars. Apart from some yellow sand on his body and some damage to his clothes, he was almost intact.
"Of course it's okay. Am I fine, but... I'm also very surprised. I've been buried in the desert, why didn't I feel suffocating? And... I can't feel any pain at all." Mantou touched his chin. If it weren't for the yellow sand covering his face, it would be like a dead person.
After hearing his words, the others looked at each other. Li Xin also looked at me intentionally. I quickly avoided his gaze, patted Mantou's arm and said, "Don't say so much, as long as you're fine, Mr. Mai, let's go."
We have started on the road again and have no time to waste it anymore. It is naturally great that he can come back. If we really can't come back, we can't wait for him. But from this point, I can also see that Mantou will not die no matter what happens in this month. It can basically be said that he will be immortal in the short term. Except for his body being blown to pieces, no one can kill him.
I seemed to understand Changshan's intention. Instead of letting Mantou die in vain, it would be better to turn him into the living dead now. At least at a critical moment, it can help us. I believe this is Changshan's real idea at that time. I have to admit that Mantou really plays a key role now.
