Chapter 34 The Strange Old Man

After a lot of roars, both of them finally turned into the sea. Li Cu pushed the man away with force, and with a plop, the gun was thrown away from the man. Then the man stood up from the water, panting. The two of them looked at each other. Under the moonlight, Li Cu found that the man's skin was extremely pale, not a young man, but an old man.

"Who are you?" Li Cu shouted at him, "Why attack me? I'm passing!"

After gasping for a long time, the other party spoke in a strange language. After listening to it, Li Cu found that this was a local dialect. If you listened to it as Mandarin, you would never understand it. However, if you guess according to the pronunciation, you can also guess the general meaning.

The stranger seemed to be asking Li Cu: "Who are you?"

Li Cuxin said: You care who I am. It doesn’t matter who I am. I am a troubled person. I was kidnapped here. They were caught in the sand by monsters. I told you that you wouldn’t believe it, and you wouldn’t know me who I am. But when he thought, didn’t he ask this question just now?

For the two people who are in fear, who the other party is always the question they want to know the most.

"I am a troubled person." Li Cu found a way to calm himself down, "Beijing, I'm lost here, I'm trapped here. There were three people, but now I'm the only one." The man listened to Li Cu finish his words in Mandarin with an accent, and said to him in Mandarin with an accent: "You are a troubled person, how did you fall? It fell off the plane?"

"I can't explain clearly." Li Cu scratched his head, "I said I came by a boat, do you believe it?"

The man looked at Li Cu for a long time without saying anything. He seemed to have seen a clue and said, "Are you really coming from outside the desert? Not from the sand?"

"I'm a puppy."

"You are a puppy, and it's not good for me at all." The man still didn't dare to get close to Li Cu, but he was a little relaxed," Then I ask you, which year is it now?"

Li Cu briefly talked about the time to him.

The man was stunned and said a little dumbly: "God, it's been almost thirty years. I've been in this place where I've been thirty years."

Li Cu asked him: "Okay, uncle, now it's your turn to tell me, who are you?"

The man looked around, pointed to the truck, and said with a dull expression: "I'm driving."

Li Cu looked at his clothes and found that it was indeed the same as those mummies, but it was even more ragged than those clothes, and there were many things hanging on them.

"Are you one of the drivers driving these cars?"

The man ignored Li Cu and just said to himself: "It's been thirty years."

Li Cu said: "Why aren't you dead?" After asking, he felt rude.

The man looked a little confused and said, "Why do you want to die? As long as you know the rules here, you won't die. How can death be that easy?"

Li Cu felt that this person was a little crazy, and seemed to have some problems with his brain. The man suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned to Li Cu and said, "How did you come in? Take a boat?"

Li Cu was about to answer him that they were here by moving Haizi like a bus. Suddenly the other party turned his head to the sand dune on one side, as if he was listening to something. Li Cu wanted to speak, but the man immediately waved his hand to him and said to him: "Shh, don't say it for now."

Li Cu was startled by him and dared not speak anymore, just listening quietly. He heard nothing, only occasionally the friction of sand on the dunes falling to the ground came from a distance.

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

Li Cu had no choice but to endure the pain behind his back and sank his whole body into the water. Then, he heard the sound of something hitting the metal from the truck surrounding Haizi. Clang - in the dark, he couldn't see clearly the sound from which truck was coming. Then, another clang, he found that the sound seemed to have moved. Li Cu was very frightened, and he remembered the things that 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 trucks around him, as if countless things were hitting the truck. The sound became more and more dense, and soon a circle around the entire Haizi seemed to be sounding symphony. The sounds 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 said to him softly: "Don't worry, they can't get in."

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

The man said, "It's been thirty years, and I don't know what that is. You can't see them, they're under the sand, so we used all the cars to surround this sea and make a circle of barriers. They are not that smart. They seem to have a special reaction to metal things and will attack these cars, but they can't get past these cars and get into this area."

"Weihaizi?" Wu Xie had several explanations for the layout of the convoy at that time, but it seemed that he had guessed it all wrong

The man said: "These things want to drink water, but after drinking water, they will become particularly terrible. 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 for a night."

Li Cu listened and felt that there were 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, and the biting water soaked his wounds, making his body slowly numb and less uncomfortable. He didn't ask any questions.

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

They waited in Haizi for a long time, and the man made a safe move to Li Cu. Then the two of them wade deep and shallowly climb to the shore and came to the edge of the truck where the man was staying. Li Cu was swollen with water and could not move at all. He lay on the sand and began to tremble involuntarily. The man crawled behind the car with lights on, kept digging out a box of things in the sand behind the car, took out a small jar from it, and asked Li Cu to drink the things inside.

Li Cu found it was a can of soju. After drinking, Li Cu felt warmer. The man took a few particularly smelly military coats to put on him. 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 waiting for. Li Cu went into 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 car 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 with a beard all over his face, and his beard looked like a Taoist priest in the movie, and his hair and eyebrows were a little too long. The skin on this man was not dry and looked like he was in his seventies or eighties. However, judging from the man's body and strength just now, this person should be in his prime. It was obviously this 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 of old age here alone 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 particularly sensitive to sounds. I usually stay in this car. This car was buried in the sand before, and 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 of activity here? It is indeed possible, because they have spent a lot of time to dig out all the cars here. However, they did not search carefully in many cars. For them, there were too many cars here, and they could not check them one by one. However, he vaguely felt something was wrong in his heart.

This is wrong from Li Cu's feelings about the details of this person. The most important thing is that he feels that this person has lived alone for thirty years, which is too incredible. If he lived alone for thirty years, he would have been crazy. Although this person's thinking is a bit slow, it looks a bit too normal. Too normal is an abnormality. However, this person's beard is definitely real. Such a beard and skin on his body are not trapped in such a place for so long. I guess even Hollywood makeup artists can't do it so real.

However, Li Cu is still too young. Even if he thinks something is wrong, he has not thought deeply. After all, he has never met such a person before, so there is no way to compare.

The man continued, "By the way, if you come in, will someone come to save you? Can you take me out with you then? Oh, no, no, no, no." The man shook his head hard after asking this, "Whoever approaches here will be caught by those things, saving people is equivalent to harming people."

Li Cu said: "I think you can rest assured that someone will come to save me." He told this person all about his involvement in this matter. After hearing this, the man frowned a little nervously, as if thinking, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Li Cu's back.

Li Cu didn't care and asked him: "I've talked so much, tell me what happened to you. What's going on with these cars?"
