I got out of the car in a daze, but when I looked around, I was stunned, what are you kidding? Camping in the wilderness? Uncle Li smiled when he saw my expression and said, "What? It's the first time you sleep in the wilderness? Then you have to get used to it, there will be more opportunities like this in the future!"

"What kind of place is this?" I asked Uncle Li with a blank expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is Lop Nur and our final destination is Kumu Kuduk. ”

I regretted it for a while, and I couldn't help but fight a cold war. It seems that this money is really not that easy to earn. I raised my hand and measured the temperature outside with my watch, and it was still less than minus 10 degrees! But fortunately, everything in the trunk of the car was readily available, and food and clothing should still be solved.

Looking at the desolate scene around me, my heart is also beating drums, it has been missing for decades, how can it be so easy to be found, if it is really buried by the yellow sand, I am afraid that I will dig three feet into the ground.

Among the other four is a burly man who must have a lot of experience in the wilderness. It didn't take long for him to light a bonfire, and then he and the only girl among them began to prepare dinner.

During the meal, I took the initiative to introduce myself, and I will cooperate in the future, and I don't know the name is definitely not a thing. As soon as they saw that I took the initiative to talk to them, they were naturally embarrassed to hold the shelf again.

The woman's name is Ye Zhiqiu, she is a doctor, and she is quite iconic, she said that she often participates in some wild hiking activities, so she was invited to be the team doctor this time. And the very strong man mentioned just now is called Zhao Qiang, a professional leader of wild trekking, who has led trekking enthusiasts through Lop Nur more than a dozen times. We have a lot of experience in the wilderness, so we didn't hire a local guide this time.

The remaining two were very low-key, and they didn't say that they were in charge of this time, but simply said their names. Among them, the tall and thin man is called Luo Hai, and the fat guy who is a little fat is called Liu Ziping.

They didn't want to say more, so naturally I wouldn't ask more, just like I didn't say that I was a corpse seeker by profession. And Ding Yi's self-introduction is even shorter, just four words, "My name is Ding Yi." ”

Among several people, Uncle Li is the commander-in-chief, and everyone's actions must be under his command, and I can also see that Luo Hai and Liu Ziping speak to Uncle Li in a very respectful tone. Presumably they must have known each other before, it seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask Uncle Li if these two people are his people.

I don't know if it's the first time I live in the wilderness, but I always feel cold, one cold war after another.

"Don't meet any beasts in the wilderness!" I muttered quietly.

Ding Yi next to me glanced at me and said, "Don't worry, as long as we don't encounter wolves, we people will not be in danger." ”

"And wolves!?" I said, surprised.

At this time, Zhao Qiang, who was adding firewood to the fire, said with a smile: "There are very few now, wolves are also afraid of people, if they are not extremely hungry, or they happen to encounter them, they will definitely not take the initiative to pursue humans." ”

Come to think of it, as the city continues to expand, it will slowly encroach on the territory of many wild movements, and they will eventually have to choose to give up their home to humans, and then migrate to live away from people.

I was alone and stared at the bright red fire in a daze, thinking that the breath of death could be felt here at any time and place! Not far from our campsite, there were the white bones of a camel mother and child buried under the yellow sand.

They must have been trapped in the dunes by a large storm and then died of thirst. It stands to reason that camels rarely get lost or find water, but I can feel that the mother and son were hungry and thirsty when they arrived, and they had not found food for many days, and the storm was only the straw that broke the camels.

It seems that under such harsh natural conditions, any living creature is so fragile and insignificant. It makes me wonder why the biologist who disappeared decades ago came here alone.

According to the little information in the information, it can be seen that he participated in a scientific expedition, but why he got lost, there is no mention in the information......

Uncle Li saw that I didn't speak for a long time and just looked at the fire in the distance in a daze, so he gently pushed me, gave me a look, and motioned me to go to the car with him.

Looking at the mystery on this old guy's face, I don't know what kind of mystery he is playing......

As soon as I walked to the car, he handed me his phone and said, "Take a look at it and remember what this person looks like." ”

I took it and saw that it was a black and white headshot of a middle-aged man with glasses. It seems that this is the missing person we are looking for this time. Although the photo was taken with a mobile phone, the picture is still very clear, I looked at the yellowed black and white photos in the mobile phone, but I am afraid that this original photo should be older than me.

"Is that him?" I asked Uncle Li in a low voice.

Uncle Li nodded, but didn't say anything more.

"Is there anything else? It's not enough to have just one photo, and it's taken with a phone. "I'll be honest.

Uncle Li glanced in the direction of the fire, Zhao Qiang and the others were chatting, and none of them looked at us. I was wondering what Uncle Li was looking at, when suddenly I felt a chill in my hand, and a very old metal pocket watch appeared in my hand.

The moment I got my hands on the watch, I saw a blurry picture. The surrounding scenery is sometimes real and sometimes unreal, and some are erratic...... At this moment, I saw a pair of cracked hands holding a kettle opening the lid on it, but after opening it and pouring it a few times, I found that there was no water in it at all......

"Jinbao, you...... Did you see something?" Uncle Li asked in a low voice.

I came back to my senses and looked at the pocket watch in my hand, I knew that this was stuffed by Uncle Li just now, but why did he make it so mysterious?

"I'm fine, I did see some pictures just now, but the time is too short, there is no useful information, why did these photos and watches be stolen from me?" I asked, puzzled.

I saw Uncle Li look at a few people beside the fire with his eyes, "I can't fully trust those people, you have to put away this pocket watch, this thing can only play a role if you are here, otherwise it will just be a pocket watch." ”

I nodded and carefully put them away, then took out a few sleeping bags and blankets from the car and walked back, I distributed them the sleeping bags and blankets and prepared to sleep too, although the temperature here is not high now, but because the sand on the ground has been scorched by the scorching sun of the day, it will lie on it just warm.

Soon I fell asleep......
