"Okay, I'll do it!"

The two have known each other for more than a year and a half, and Wu Tong knows a little about Chen Xu's character, once he determines something, no matter how difficult it is, he will not do it without hesitation.

This can be seen from the fact that he has experienced so many thrilling wild scenes.

So, after more than half an hour, Wu Tong called again, saying that the ticket had been booked, and just two hours later, there was a flight to the magic capital in the middle of the night, which took 11 hours to reach, and then took 3 hours to transfer to Wulumuqi in Xinjiang.

After Chen Xu hung up the phone, he immediately unplugged the instrument and contacted Weiss to help deal with the follow-up procedures of the hospital.

As for himself, he took something and took a taxi directly to the airport.

After more than ten hours of flights, Chen Xu hardly fell asleep.

This is also normal, Lu Yao is almost one of the best friends he has met since he came to this parallel world.

Now that she has disappeared for no reason, of course he is anxious.

And what has always puzzled him is, why did Lu Yao go to a dangerous place like Lop Nur alone for no reason?

After all, in Chen Xu's heart, Lu Yao is not a brainless girl.

After one night, I arrived in China, passed the international date change line, and then counted the time difference, it was exactly the evening of the next day, and after arriving in Wulumuqi, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.

After getting off the plane, Chen Xu saw Wu Tong at a glance.

He didn't expect that Wu Tong would personally fly over from Kyoto to arrange for him, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Chen Xu, you haven't had time to recuperate yet, and you've been on the plane for such a long time, why don't you go to the hotel for a night's rest first, and then go to Lop Nur tomorrow?"

After entering the car, Wu Tongxian asked with concern.

To be honest, Chen Xu is indeed a little tired, but time waits for no one, counting today, Lu Yao has been missing for more than three days, and the longer it drags on, the lower the probability of survival.

"It's okay, it's important to find someone, let's go to Lop Nur first!"

Chen Xu pinched the bridge of his nose, then rubbed his eyelids, and said with a strong spirit.

"Okay then, I'll let the driver slow down, you sleep in the car for a while!"

Wu Tong shook his head, and could only take Chen Xu to Lop Nur Town first.

In the past, Xinjiang Lop Nur was once the second largest saltwater lake in China, but due to climate change, it became a barren desert and uninhabited, and was once called the "Sea of Death".

Later, due to the discovery of large potash-rich brine mines, the state established a town government in Lop Nur, but due to the harsh environment, the population of the town was very small, and there was no train, so it could only take the road.

The driver drove almost overnight, and the next day, the fourth day of Lu Yao's disappearance, several people finally arrived in Lop Nur Town.

Subsequently, Wu Tong took Chen Xu directly to the local police station.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them went, they happened to meet the search and rescue team who were about to go out to find and rescue.

"Chen Xu?"

In the crowd, a man suddenly shouted.

When Chen Xu heard the sound, he couldn't help but feel a little familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that this kid was one of the assistants of the two magazines who accompanied Lu Yao on a business trip to Shenzhen last time: Wang Liang.

Because the few people played together for a few days later, he still had some impressions.

"It's me, why are you here too?"

After saying hello, he couldn't help but ask a rhetorical question.

"Lu Yao is missing, and the whole magazine is in a hurry, no, the editor-in-chief is old and can't move, so he appointed me to accompany the search and rescue team and told me to find someone. ”

mentioned the reason, Wang Liang's expression was a little lost.

Chen Xu frowned slightly, "Do you know why Lu Yao came to Lop Nur alone?"

"I also found out from the conversation between the police and the editor-in-chief, it seems that she came to her father. ”

Wang Liang replied.

"Looking for his father?"

Wang Liang nodded, and then recalled: "I also heard it from the old people in the club, it turns out that Lu Yao's father used to be a travel geography columnist in our magazine, and he usually always ran around the country, took pictures of locations, and wrote articles. ”

"When he went to Lop Nur on a business trip in 92, he suddenly disappeared for no reason, and in the end the police only brought back a windbreaker, and strangely, no matter how the police and the search and rescue team searched, the body was not found in the end. ”

"So, some people said it was ...... at the time"

"What do you say?" Chen Xu asked.

"It was said that Lu Yao's father deliberately abandoned their mother and daughter, because it was rumored in the society that Lu Yao's father wanted to divorce her mother, but her mother refused, so her father took the opportunity of a business trip in Lop Nur and deliberately disappeared......"

The more he talked about the end, the quieter Wang Liang's voice became, and he seemed to feel that it was not good to talk about people behind his back, especially since Lu Yao, who was the person concerned, was still missing.

And this time, it should be Lu Yao who didn't know where to get the news, saying that his father had appeared in Lop Nur, so she asked the editor-in-chief for leave and came over in a hurry. ”

After listening to all of Wang Liang's explanations, Chen Xu wanted to understand a lot of things.

No wonder Lu Yao always wears a windbreaker, in 92, she should have been only a few years old, just when she was just sensible and needed the care of her parents, but she suffered such a big blow.

It is estimated that in her mind, wearing her father's windbreaker means that her father has always been by her side.

And after she graduated, she still chose the Chinese National Geographic Magazine and still chose the profession of travel geography columnist, which shows that the impact of her father's disappearance at that time was really great!

Thinking of this, Chen Xu shook his head and exhaled:

"When Huaxia first began to explore Lop Nur, in the four years from 56 to 60 years alone, more than 500 people disappeared in a no-man's land, and in 80 years, Peng Jiamu, the leader of the Lop Nur comprehensive investigation team, disappeared mysteriously, and there was no body, which caused a sensation throughout China. ”

"To tell the truth, over the past few decades, there have been more cases of such bizarre disappearances, and the name of Lop Nur's 'Sea of Death' is not called in vain. ”

Wang Liang also clapped his hands and said:

"Yes, I also think it's all spread by the people in the magazine club, although Lu Yao doesn't believe it, but she has always remembered that her father is still alive, every time the club comes to Xinjiang on a business trip, she almost always comes, and she is not afraid of danger. ”

"No, there was a wolf attack last time, and thanks to you at that time, Lu Yao was safe and sound, and this time ......"

Chen Xu squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and interrupted:

"There's me this time, don't worry, she'll be safe. ”

Wang Liang's eyes lit up, yes, Chen Xu is the world's most professional outdoor wilderness expert, if he helps join the search, wouldn't the probability of finding Lu Yao increase a lot?
