Chapter 480: The Source of the Map

Remember [Pen โ™‚ Fun รท Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The map was spread out on the table, and when I looked at it, it was an old satellite map.

Looking at the text on it, the Russian text, I gasped, and the map was marked with the date of printing, January 1, 1960.

At that time, it was not Russia, it was still the Soviet Union, and it was when we were at war with the Soviet Union, but I didn't expect this old man to have such a map.

The map only has the whole picture of Lop Nur, and then there are a lot of Russian words marked on it, I don't understand what is written, but this map is very familiar, there are a few marked places, really familiar.

I thought back to the map that Grandpa Ayimu had seized, and it was exactly the same as this one, except that his map was marked with twenty red stars, but this one was not.

It's just that the place marked in Russian on this one matches the red star on Grandpa Ayimu's.

I remained silent, the middle-aged man gently stroked the map with his fingers, and then his fingers wandered around the map, and finally stopped in a place in the middle of the upper left corner, where there was indeed a wind-eroded landscape, and he: "Here, my father's camel statue is here." โ€

I gasped, because I remembered that on the map marked with a red star, there was also a red star marked on the place that the middle-aged man was referring to, which was actually the old man's wind-eroded camel castle.

I can't help but wonder if the castle beneath this camel statue could be an ancient tomb?

Because the Tianchi on the top of the Tianshan Mountain is also marked with a red star, we went up to see it, and it turned out to be the tomb of the Turkic king of the orange-eyed zombie, so the possibility that this camel castle is an ancient tomb is very high.

The old man's large herd of wild camels bowed down to this castle, which further confirmed this point.

My heart was pounding, and I had some clues.

Is there a direct connection between this castle and the old man's strange disease?

And we came this time to prevent them from opening the seal, does this camel castle have anything to do with the seal?

If not, I'll give Chi Hai the map and let them go to this castle, and we'll stop the day, which is the focus of our work.

That's what I had in mind.

I looked at the map and pointed to the Russian language, and I said, "How can it be Russian, does your father know Russian?"

"I don't understand. The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Do you understand?"

"I don't understand either. The middle-aged man shook his head as well.

"Then how did your father have a map in Russian?" I asked.

"This?" The middle-aged man was stunned, looking at me dumbfounded, he didn't expect me to change his face, he squeezed out a smile: "At that time, our country was not good with the Soviet Union, and it was not very strange to have this kind of map, there were many Soviets who helped me build my country at that time." โ€

"No, no, no. I sneered and shook my head: "This map was printed in 1960, when we were already at odds with the Soviet Union, and all the Soviets had already returned to the Soviet Union, so how could this thing still come into our country? Not to mention that in 1960, when your father was only a few years old, what year was your father born?"

The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment, looking at me dumbfounded, he definitely didn't expect me to ask like this, he hesitated: "...... in 1958"

"Your father was only two years old when he printed this map, so how could he have gotten it? I stared at the middle-aged man: "This should have been obtained in the next decade or two, right? Also, the pistol in your box just now is clearly the TT-30 pistol of the Soviet era, and the later ******** pistol of our country is an imitation of this gun, quick, why does your father have this map and this pistol?"

"This ......" The middle-aged man panicked completely.

"You must know that it is a big crime to possess a gun without permission, and it must be arrested and sentenced. I scared him: "You tell me quickly, as long as you tell me the truth, I can take this gun, hand it over to the leader, plead with the leader, don't arrest you for punishment, besides, it's useless for you to leave this gun, right." โ€

"Good, good, me, me. The middle-aged man's hands were trembling, he must have not expected that I was polite just now, and now I turned my face, but I was also helpless, I didn't really want to arrest him, I just wanted to know more clues and intelligence, so I could only make this decision.

"It was 1979, our country's self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, the Soviet Union instigated Vietnam to go to war with us, so a lot of our country's attention is on the counterattack war, although the defense of the north is still not relaxed, but when both sides are tight, there will inevitably be loopholes, at that time there was a golden-haired expedition team, with a letter of introduction stamped by the state, to my father, let my father take them into Lop Nur for an expedition. Middle-aged man: "My father asked them why they wanted to enter Lop Nur, because they had been bombed before, and they didn't let people in, they wanted to study why Lop Nur Lake would completely dry up, and then my father didn't dare not go, because I was just born at that time, and those people had guns, and he was afraid that if we didn't go, these people would kill us, not to mention that these people gave a lot of money, so he took them in." โ€

"And then, go in, why are the guns and the map, and the military kettle at your father's place, are they murdered for money?" I continued to ask.

"No, no, no. The middle-aged man waved his hand again and again: "No, my father is a good person, how can he harm people?" My father, including him at that time, there were seven people and ten camels, three camels with food and water, these camels were prepared by these Soviets, and I don't know where they got them, and then they took them in, and then there was a sandstorm in the middle, and the people were scattered, only my father and the Soviet man who took the lead came out, and the others were buried by the wind and sand, and when they came out, the Soviets wanted to kill my father, and suddenly the gun went out in the back, as if a border guard had shot and killed the Soviet, and as soon as the gun rang out, the camels were frightened, so they ran around, and finally ran with my father to the wind erosion camel castle, only to discover the wild camel and that camel castle. โ€

I gasped, and I wondered, "Are the Soviets really going to investigate why the water in Lop Nur dried up?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know, my father gave him such a gun, as well as a map and a water bottle, and then asked him to take them to the designated place on the map, my father's commander has an identical map in his hand, but there are a lot of red five-pointed stars marked on the map, the commander pointed to the location of the five-pointed star above, and asked my father to take them over one by one." โ€

I'm so stupid, isn't this map of his the one captured by Grandpa Ayimu? In this way, the border guard who killed this commander is Ayimu's grandfather?

He ran back from the battlefield in Vietnam and happened to meet the commander who wanted to assassinate the old man, so he shot the commander and got the map.

How could it be such a coincidence?
