Chapter 182: Rescuing Everyone
"Ah, yes, yes, this archaeological trip was applied for by Hu Songquan, saying that there is an item about the ancient tomb of the Northwest Desert, which can take us into the desert and find the real desert tomb. Now that the museum is being renovated, it's okay to be idle, and if you can find the ancient tomb, excavate it, and unearth any valuable cultural relics, won't it bring resources to the museum?
So several well-connected employees hit it off, applied for an archaeological permit from the curator, and followed Hu Songquan into the desert. Hu Songquan introduced him as the leader of the 'Cultural Relics Discovery and Protection Organization', and he had a deep understanding and cognition of the ancient tombs in the Northwest Desert, so everyone accepted him. ”
The staff member, after a pause, continued: "We have been traveling all the way day and night, and we have arrived here non-stop, which is very puzzled. Because our previous archaeological work has not been so straightforward, unless the location of the ancient tomb is clearly known.
And that's not the only puzzle. I feel that from the moment I stepped out of Nanhe City, I was puzzled all the way. Yes, yes, Jiao Yaohou and his party actually drove a truck and pulled a huge quadrangular glass container, covering it with a large canvas.
"On the road, the car drove for about two hours and then stopped, and then the gang circled the glass container and continued to drive, and so on, and so on, without giving us a break in between, eating, drinking, and lazing all in the car. It's good that there are no lesbians, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
After arriving here, Jiao Yaohou walked around the glass container several times, then pointed to a place with his hand, commanded 'dig', and quickly dug out the foundation of the ancient tomb wall from the desert. After digging for a while, Jiao Yaohou didn't know how to open the door of the ancient tomb, which was very violent and unscrupulous, which made us feel more and more that this group of people was not a 'cultural relics discovery and protection organization' at all.
When they had entered the tomb, they carried down the large vessel and went into the main chamber, where they disappeared. At that time, the wrapped canvas had just opened a corner, and then I saw a horrible plant in the container. ”
After speaking, the man asked Yuan Tao for a bottle of drinking water and drank it slowly.
"You say they brought in the big container by truck? But we looked around here, and there was nothing, no wheel prints?"
Zhuo Feng asked puzzled.
"Oh, that's because last night, there was a sand sink here, so I guess it fell with the sand. ”
"What happened last night? Can it cause the sand to fall? How much movement does this have to be?" Yuan Tao said incredulously.
The quickest and best way to make a big truck disappear out of thin air is to bury it with sand or sink into the yellow sand with the sand, but to make the sand fall, one must make a lot of movement underground, and the other is to rely on the movement of the sea of sand.
But the sand sea only moves when the moon is full, and now it is the end of the month, and this will not happen at all...
"And how did you get here? Didn't you say there were seven staff members, and what about the other three?"
Yuan Tao asked.
"At that time, we were looking for Hu Songquan and Jiao Yaohou in the ancient tomb, and we were walking through the ancient tomb, feeling like walking through a maze. So we fled, and we scattered. Eventually, we were pushed out of the tomb by a blast of air, only to find that we had lost all our belongings, and only a pitiful little drinking water to keep us alive. ”
The man patted his empty pockets.
"Can you still remember the place that pushed you out of the ancient tomb?" Zhuo Feng asked again.
The man looked around: "It's too late now, I fainted again I don't know how long, my whole body feels weak, if it wasn't for the food you gave me just now, I'm afraid it would take a week to lie in the hospital bed to recover." If you really want to go to that place, it will be considered as a reward for saving your life, and I will take you there now. ”
The man struggled to his feet, and the other three librarians also stood up, supporting each other, leaning on the constellations in the sky, recognizing a direction, and walking towards it.
After walking for five or six hundred meters, some abandoned objects could be seen sporadically, and several people hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up.
"These are the things we lost, we searched here during the day, there was nothing, how did they appear again?"
"Maybe it's the shaking of the underground space that sent you out first, and then the sand displacement brought some out. ”
Yuan Tao said after judging.
"That should be right here, not far away. Take a look further ahead. Zhuo Feng prompted.
I had just walked a few steps when I was suddenly mixed with something and almost fell.
Fixed, irradiated with a flashlight, it was found to be a person's thigh.
Busy digging the man out of the sand, Yuan Tao stepped forward to pinch his pulse, shook his head, and was not breathing.
"Do you know you?" asked Yuan Tao.
"It's not our staff, I don't know, I think it's one of those people. The staff member of the Nanhe Museum said.
Carrying it aside, the search continued in the vicinity, and a second, third, and fourth bodies were immediately found.
All of them are suffocated to death, and when the sand sinks, the internal force pushes it out of the ground and is half-buried in the sand.
None of these people are museum staff, and the situation is very bad and not optimistic.
And they are fully equipped, drinking water, food is there, it is very likely that after the loud noise last night, they failed to escape from the ancient tomb in time, and were buried and suffocated, and then the internal and external pressure was unbalanced, creating space, causing the upper sand pile to move, and it was filled, and the ghost brought it to the surface.
"What do these people do?" He Changjun asked.
"According to the custom of death in the desert, they are buried on the spot, and the information is counted, and then the family members or relatives and friends find them in the future, and then remove them for cremation and burial. Yuan Tao said.
can only do this, let it be thrown into the desert, it is better to bury it on the spot, at least there can be a whole corpse.
Yuan Yuan found a suitable place to bury, buried the four of them, made a good mark, and packed up their belongings so that they could make statistics in the future.
The crowd searched for a meeting in the surrounding area again, but there was no more valuable information.
It seems that this sand trap has buried everything.
Everyone was about to give up, and when they turned back, there were several wolf howls not far away. These sounds were very bad for those people in the museum, but for Zhuo Feng, they were a piece of information.
The wolves I encountered in the desert this time were very interesting, and after they were obedient to them once, they followed behind them, and from time to time pointed out the direction for themselves and looked for clues.
This wolf's sense of smell is quite sensitive, and his eyesight at night is also good, which invisibly provides Zhuo Feng with a lot of help. It must have been last night that the wolves noticed something was going on here, came here and saw what was happening, and then returned to show them the way. Then through the keen sense of smell, wave after wave of people were found.
Zhuo Feng ran towards the sound of the wolf howling, and sure enough, he found the crowd lying in the sand.
It's eight or nine hundred meters away from the place where the body was found, and at night, no matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see this far away.
When the other people ran up, the museum staff recognized the other staff lying on the sand at a glance, and they were still alive.
The employee who had led the way for Zhuo Feng and them even ran in front of one person and punched him.
"Okay, you Hu Songquan, you actually tricked us into the desert to send us to death, see how I teach you. ”
Bang, another punch.
Yuan Tao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the man away.
"Didn't you see him faint? You go up and punch him like this, don't you just send him over?"
"Am I still angry?"
The person who was pulled away looked angry, but he also punched him twice, and the other party also fainted, so he should wait until he sobered up and then questioned, and hurriedly joined his own museum staff to rescue another employee who fell to the ground.
Slowly, ignited by Zhuo Feng's chicken energy, these people who fell to the ground all came to their senses and sobered up.
counted the number of people, all the staff in the museum were complete, and the group of people brought by Jiao Yaohou was the only one who was left behind Jiao Yaohou except for the four who died.
Zhuo Feng shone a flashlight on Hu Songquan's face, and Hu Songquan hurriedly covered it with his hand.
"Even though you saved us, you can't bully us like that. Who beat me just now?" Hu Songquan rubbed his hot cheeks, very angry.
"Okay, you Hu Songquan, you're embarrassed that the wicked will sue first. You have deceived us into this desert to work for your life, and we will report your crime when we go back. Hum. The man said indignantly.
"Well, you yourself are willing to come along, how can you blame me now?"
"You instigated us to go to the curator and apply for an archaeological permit, if you don't have this certificate, can you come to this desert to explore the ancients? How much do you have the ability to apply for a certificate by yourself?"
"Good, good, even if I take advantage of you. But aren't you all right now?" Hu Songquan said.
"It's nothing, if it weren't for this little brother Zhuo Feng saving us, we would have reported to the King of Hades. If it weren't for Zhuo Feng's little brother, would you still be talking to me here? Are you dreaming and talking nonsense?"
"Zhuo Feng?"
Hu Songquan's eyes were illuminated by the strong light, and he didn't see clearly who these people were for a while, and now he was surprised to hear the librarian mention Zhuo Feng's name.
"Didn't he go back, how did he get here?" Hu Songquan muttered to himself.
"Brother Hu, see who I am?" Zhuo Feng removed the light from Hu Songquan's face and asked.
As soon as the light was withdrawn, Hu Songquan could see the situation of the people around him clearly. Xunsheng looked at the person in front of him who asked him a question, and Hu Songquan looked puzzled.
"You, didn't you go back to your own city? Why? How did you get here? Who are you?" Hu Songquan recognized Zhuo Feng and asked in a panic, very unclear.
This person obviously entrusted Jiao Yaohou to help him sell Yaoxing Restaurant, and he watched them get on the long-distance bus and leave Nanhe City. Could this man have three heads and six arms, and can fly?
"It doesn't matter who I am, the key is what kind of talent you are. Do you want to say it now, or do you want to hand it over to the relevant agencies when you go back?" Zhuo Feng ignored his question and asked.
"I, I say it all, all this is the instructions of the Jiao Yaohou who instigated me. I was just a minor player from start to finish, helping him get archaeological permits. ”
Hu Songquan saw that he could no longer hide it, so he spoke.
"These are things we don't want to know, there will be people who want to know. What I'm going to ask you now is, where is that dragon worm of mine, and what happened here last night, who is Jiao Yaohou, and where is he now?"
Zhuo Feng asked four questions in a row, and after asking, he stared at Hu Songquan.
