Chapter 15 - The Black Palace

　　Ye Zhiqiu became even more frightened after hearing my analysis, she asked with a somewhat greenish face, "Mist can be a natural phenomenon, but who lit the oil lamps in this household?" 　　Right! That was the single biggest hidden danger. Regardless of whether the guy who lit the lamps was a human or a ghost, he definitely didn't have any good intentions, or else why did he scare us so much? Maybe he stole the car too! Now the situation is getting more and more unfavorable for us, for a while I really regret why I want to greedy money to come to such a ghost place! 　　Afterwards, I discussed with Uncle Lai and Luo Hai about a few options, but none of them worked in the end. Because now the biggest problem is not food, but water ...... people can eat less food or not eat food within a week, but if in the same period of time do not drink water is never. 　　Although it is possible to die in this ancient city will be on the news, or CCTV news broadcast, become a shock to the world's headlines! But compared to "good death" I still want to "live on". Besides, my ability is used to find other people's corpses, I don't want to end up being someone else who finds my corpse. 　　It was already very late, and we were all tired and sleepy, so it seemed that we could only wait for tomorrow's dawn to talk about everything! Maybe when we walk out of the city gates tomorrow, the car will pop up again on its own, right? Hopefully, luck will be on our side ...... 　　Since we didn't have sleeping bags, we could only stay warm together. Although Ding Yi's hands were cold, his body was very hot, which made him a good warming tool! I didn't fall asleep for a while this time. 　　Ding Yi still didn't sleep, in such an unknown situation, he was definitely going to keep watch. 　　Sleeping to the second half of the night, I suddenly felt my heart violently seized, a kind of intense sadness is a little bit in my heart spread open, this feeling makes my heart stifled to the extreme, even some can not breathe! 　　Why do you feel so sad? I can't tell you, it feels like I'm looking forward to something, but I can't wait for ....... 　　Suddenly, I opened my eyes, but saw Ding Yi is staring straight at me, this is still immersed in a piece of sadness in the middle of the I was startled by him, "I go! What are you staring at me for?" 　　"You're crying ......," Ding Yi said faintly. 　　I froze at that, then raised a hand to my face and touched it, and sure enough it was damp. Why am I crying? When I was young, I would wake up crying by myself when I dreamed, but since I grew up I haven't had this phenomenon anymore. 　　Did I just have some kind of heartbreaking dream? But when I think back carefully I can't remember anything, nothing but vague sadness ...... 　　"How long have I been crying?" I asked Ding Yi, because I knew he must have been awake the whole time. 　　He shrugged, "It started right after I fell asleep, it just started out very quietly, I wasn't sure if you were crying or talking in your sleep." 　　Holy shit! No way! You started crying when you fell asleep? But why am I crying? This place is too damn evil! Tomorrow during the day, even if there is no car, we must leave this place! 　　After dawn, everyone woke up one after another ...... 　　The shark oil lamp in the house did not know when it went out by itself. Everyone can not afford to eat the few food on the body, just each person first drank two mouths of water, our biggest hope or can find enough to find our car. 　　But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When we opened the city gates, the outside of the city was still empty, there was nothing. No one dared to walk into the boundless desert in front of us. 　　I don't know if God is deliberately joking with us people in distress, it's not even 10:00 a.m. and the ground temperature is already as high as 50 degrees Celsius. 　　Zhao Qiang and Ye Zhiqiu still proposed to go back to the ancient city first, although there was no food there, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a water source. Although I also knew that Zhao Qiang's suggestion was correct, after all, his wild life-saving experience wasn't for nothing. However, the thought of going back to the city made my heart feel a little scared. 　　I don't know if it's a psychological illusion, but the temperature in the ancient city is obviously much lower than outside, even though everyone is wearing long-sleeved jackets, they still feel a little chilly at the back. ...... 　　"We have to hurry up and find a water source here, after all, water is the biggest problem right now." Ye Zhiqiu said with a sad face. 　　Uncle Lai nodded, then pointed his finger at the black tower in the center of the city and said, "Let's go there and take a look, there should be a water source, I just don't know if the water inside has dried up ......" 　　Everyone heard this and all looked in unison at the high black tower in the distance, this should be our only hope. 　　The high tower is located in the center of the ancient city, after we walked forward for a while we found that the road under our feet routed in yellow soil turned into a road paved with black stones. And it was from the appearance of this black stone that Uncle Lai realized that there was a small, not too deep, not too shallow canal by the side of the road. 　　He looked at it thoughtfully for a while, then said to everyone, "This should be the water channel used to collect rainwater back then, we should be able to find the water cellar that stored water back then by following this small channel!" 　　Everyone was excited to hear this, as long as we find the water source, we should be able to get out of this desert where rabbits don't even hit shit! Although our purpose this time is to search for the remains of that biologist, but our own safety is the most important, otherwise even if we really find it, we are afraid that we will also sleep here as long as that person! 　　After walking along the black stone road for some time, I gradually realized that this place is really too quiet, if we don't say something to each other, I'm afraid that the surrounding area will be so quiet that I can hear everyone's heartbeat and gasp. 　　"Uncle Lai, isn't it a bit too quiet here?" I asked a little uneasily. 　　Uncle Li nodded to me and said, "Everyone be careful, this place is really weird, we will leave immediately after we find the water source, I'm afraid this is not a place to stay for a long time!" 　　Ye Zhiqiu is the only woman in this group, she is the identity of the team doctor to participate in this activity, must have come before she did not expect to encounter this situation, so now is even more afraid. She looked around with a frightened face, fearing that a monster would come out from somewhere to eat her. 　　I looked at the heart can not help but feel pity, then spoke out to comfort: "Zhiqiu sister, you do not have to be afraid, we will certainly be fine, and besides, in case something really encountered is not there are these men? Don't be afraid, there's me." 　　As soon as I said this, I saw that Ding Yi, who had been walking in front of me, turned around and looked at me with contempt, and his eyes clearly said, "Just you? If something really happens, who will protect who? 　　I was looking at his face some can't hang on, busy pretend not to see the same head to the side, but the heart but kept using English greetings to his mother ...... who knows just as I avoided the eyes of the Ding Yi, suddenly felt a tight heart, a strange feeling lingering in my heart. 　　I jerked my head up and saw a black building appearing directly north of us, the very destination of our trip - the black high tower. The construction material of this high tower should be the same kind of thing as the black stones on this ground and the black walls of the ancient city ...... 　　And the small canals that we have followed all the way, there is actually more than one of them that have been converging from all directions to the inside of the black high tower, and it seems that this place was the center of the rights of the black ancient city ...... in the past.
