Chapter 43 The Burnt Corpse

Fortunately, when we set off, in addition to each person equipped with one camel, we also brought two more to carry various reserves. We simplified the things on one of the camels, and then each person shared some so that it could be ridden by Dawuti.

However, in addition to Dawut's own things, there was a lot of food and water on the camels of Dawut. All of them were swallowed up by quicksand, which made us feel a sense of urgency. We had to plan our future food and water dosage.

We continued along this road, and the wind gradually became much smaller. We found a place to shelter and prepared to take a break.

We didn't sleep all night last night, and we were a little tired until now. Dawu put up the tent, and we decided to leave one person to watch, and the others took turns to go in and rest.

I have to say that Brother Tao is really like a big brother and is always willing to take care of us. This time, Brother Tao also stood in the first shift first, and others went into the tent to rest.

This sleep was really dark. When I woke up with my eyes open, the sky outside began to brighten. I don’t know how long I had been sleeping, so I quickly got up and went outside the tent to take the shift. I saw that the person being alert was Kong Xue.

When Kong Xue saw me coming out, she smiled at me, "Are you awake?"

"Yes," I nodded, "Go and sleep for a while, I'll stare!"

"No, I can't sleep anymore! Besides, I just got up. I just replaced Wenmo and let him go to rest."

I nodded, "Wen Mo is really it's not dawn yet. Let you, a girl, stare at here by yourself. If something is wrong, it's so unsafe!"

Kong Xue smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I just act as an alarm. If anything happens, I'll shout you all come out!"

Kong Xue and I sat on the ground and looked at the undulating sand dunes in the distance. In the dim sky light before dawn, it seemed quiet and solemn. The dark gray sand dunes reflected in the light gray sky, with a kind of quiet beauty.

After a while, the light green mist had inadvertently spread from the horizon to the sea of ​​sand. A light red seemed to be cracking between the sky and the earth. As the light red gradually deepened, it was finally coated with a layer of orange. In an instant, a golden light shone on the earth.

The golden sunlight once again dyed the endless sea of ​​sand yellow, not only those sand grains, but also us sitting on the sand grains. A golden light spread on Kong Xue's face. Kong Xue looked at the direction of the rising sun and smiled slightly, "It's so beautiful!"

Yes, it's really beautiful!

And just as the dune was reprogramming yellow and everything became clear, we suddenly saw a figure on a sand dune far ahead!

I thought my glasses were irritated by the sunlight. I rubbed my glasses and looked again, but found that there was indeed a figure there. I turned to look at Kong Xue, and from her eyes, I became more convinced that I saw what I saw.

I stood up all of a sudden because the first thought that came to my mind at this time was whether it would be my second uncle!

My mind was hot, and I hurriedly went to pull the camel beside me. Kong Xue grabbed me, "Zhuoran, where are you going?"

I took the reins of the camel and said, "I want to go over and see, maybe that person is my second uncle!"

Kong Xue shook her head firmly, "No, this is too risky. There may be quicksand in this place. Once you get stuck in it, you will never have time to save you. And you are not sure that you are your second uncle, or you may be from the Tang family. Maybe, maybe you are not a human at all!"

Kong Xue's words made me slightly stunned and slowly calmed down, "But I can't watch here and do nothing!"

My conversation with Kong Xue woke up the people in the tent, and several people came out, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

I reached out to the sand dune in the distance, and the black figure was still standing there. Wen Mo frowned slightly after seeing it. Shi Tao thought for a while, "Since we have discovered it, we must figure it out clearly, let's go, pack up, let's go and take a look!"

We sorted out our equipment and rode the camel in that direction. We were not slow because we were worried that the figure on the dunes or something similar to the figure would disappear.

The reason why it is called a human figure is because I always feel that his posture is a bit strange, and in terms of humans, its proportions are really a bit out of tune.

What made us a little relieved was that the figure stood there straight, motionless. I didn't know why I got closer and closer to the black shadow, but my heart became more and more nervous.

It seems that we have not been far away, and we have also walked for a long time. We just observed from a distance and did not realize that when we really came to the bottom of this sand dune, we truly realized how huge this sand dune is. It cannot be called a sand dune at all, it is completely a sand mountain!

In order to save the camel's physical strength and to be safer, we decided to climb up the mountain on foot. We brought our own equipment and put the other things on the camel for the time being.

Climbing sand mountains is really much more difficult than imagined. If you step on your feet, you will fall into the sand. This step will consume a lot of physical strength. In addition, there is no place to rely on your hands. There is no grass on the bare sand mountains. Whenever we encounter a slightly steeper slope, we must use our limbs and climb up in one breath, otherwise it will be difficult to get up again as soon as we stop halfway.

We worked hard to climb to the top of the sand mountain. As soon as we climbed up, I didn't care about looking at the black shadow. I lay down on the ground, gasping for breath.

The others were similar to me, only Wenmo seemed to be better. Even Dawuti was surprised by Wenmo's physical strength and said to me gently: "Are you friends often a professional athlete? Why are you so good at strength?"

I gasped and said, "He? He is much better than athletes!"

"Oh?" Dawuti was even more surprised when he heard my words, "Can it be..."

I waved my hand, "Uncle Dawuti, don't guess, I don't know what he is doing!"

After a little breath, we turned our eyes to the position of the black shadow. When we saw it, we were stunned immediately. The black shadow turned out to be a burnt corpse!

The body was charred and his dead expression was terrifying. It was obvious that this person was burned to death. His clothes and personal belongings were burned together with the body. From this point of view, his identity could not be distinguished.

The tragic death of this man made Kong Xue run away with just a glance.

Shi Tao took out his dagger and flipped over the pocket of the body. Most of the things were burned to ashes. At that time, there was a metal lighter, and the content on it was vaguely identifiable. I could probably see a few incomplete words: The annual meeting of the Tang Group will be memorialized!

This person turned out to be from the Tang family! We were so worried and happy to get this information. We are so happy because we are now completely convinced that there is no problem with our route. We can find it with half of the route information, which is really a good enough luck!

What I worry about is that we are not far from the Tang family now. Once we encounter it, we will definitely not get any benefits!

But these are some later stories for the time being. Looking at the dead body in front of us at this moment, we were filled with questions. Why was this person burned to death here? Did he make any unforgivable mistakes?

But at this time, it is not scientific to burn him to death. I guess the Tang family's team will definitely have guns. Then killing him with a gun or even stabbing him to death is probably much easier than burning him to death with a fire!

The dead body looked at us with a hideous face, which really made us feel chilled.

I suddenly had an idea, "The Tang family must have dispatched a lot of people this time, but why did this person get into trouble!"

"No, it's not just this person!" Wen Mo's cold voice came, and he pointed to the other side of the sand mountain. We looked in the direction he pointed, and were frightened to find that there were about a dozen corpses scattered on the sand slope, all of which were charred and fell to the ground. It seemed that they had been dead for a while, and the corpses were covered with a layer of sand. No wonder we didn't notice it at the beginning.

But when we look at it this way, we find a problem. All the other corpses are lying on the ground, but the one in front of us stands on the ground.

However, when we dug up the sand under his feet, we realized that this person was clearly planted here by a human. In other words, this person was deliberately standing here after his death, because the corpse was burned and charred and stiff, no difference from a dead tree trunk, so planting it in the sand is not difficult.

But who always keeps the body here? And what is his purpose?

Wen Mo said, "There must be a reason for this corpse to be placed like this. Generally speaking, there are two possibilities: one is the road sign guide and the other is the danger prompt."

I asked, "So, in your opinion, which kind of thing does this belong to?"

Wen Mo shook his head and walked aside, "I can't say this yet. We don't have more information yet."

As we were talking, Shi Tao suddenly exclaimed. We looked in the sound and saw Shi Tao pinch the mouth of the dead body with his hands. I was shocked by his sudden action! I wanted to stop it, but the next scene surprised me. He actually took something out of the mouth of the dead body at this time!

It seems like a piece of paper, but it is indeed a bit weird!
