Chapter 30: Into the Desert
"Then why didn't you evacuate with the large army at that time?" Lin Mo looked at the environment outside that was simply not a human life, and really admired the old man's courage to stay. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hehe, my parents are in the first batch of workers, they are all gone, I have been waiting for them for fifty years, fifty years, woo. At this point, the old man began to cry like a child, but the cry was like a broken bellows, and it sounded harsh.
According to him, there were more than a dozen people left behind at that time, most of them because relatives had disappeared in the previous strange incident, and the state did not force them to leave, on the contrary, each of them was given a consolation fee, and at the same time, they were also given an additional amount of money every year as a reward for their care of the desert.
It's just that as time goes by, some people finally can't hold on and walk out, some people fall into the desert, and finally the once prosperous town is left with a few lonely houses and a father and son.
"Didn't the state send people to reconnoiter after that?"
"Anyway, I haven't seen it again, I guess they have some clues to seal this place, what, do you still want to go now, it's still too late to go back, but I won't return the money." ”
Li Jianmin, of course they will not quit, even if they don't go to Lin Mo, they have to take a look, the old man saw that they were very resolute, so he could only shake his head and let them go, anyway, he himself has lived such an age.
It was getting late, the houses were almost cleaned up, the security personnel were on guard outside, Lin Mo stood outside and looked at the night blankly, he didn't expect the desert night to be so beautiful, the moon seemed to be as bright as in front of him.
"Don't you think this kind of night is very moving?" the old man didn't know when he appeared behind Lin Mo, "Young man, don't be fooled by this beautiful illusion, this desert has swallowed up many lives since ancient times, and the more beautiful things are, the more deadly. ”
"Yes, but sometimes the more deadly things are, the more attractive they are. Lin Mo was sure that Li Jianguo and they must have discovered something in the Devil's Cave that was of high value and even enough to cost his life, which was another reason why he wanted to go, even what Li Jianguo wanted Lin Mo guessed would definitely not be a worldly thing, maybe it was related to cultivators, and now, everything related to cultivators was also a fatal temptation for him.
Li Jianmin, Master Zhou and Professor He also walked outside, Master Zhou said to a few people with a heavy face: "This time the matter may not be very peaceful, and it is beyond the danger we originally estimated, I suggest that the third young master and Professor He don't go over, including Xiaolin, or I will take a few people to check first, if even I can't come back, you should hurry back and tell the master, let him find another way." ”
Professor He and the others obviously began to hesitate, after all, as intellectuals, they really had never experienced such a scene.
"In this way, you two professors and Xiao Lin, don't go. I'll go over and take a look, Master Zhou, you should still be able to take care of me alone. ”
"Third uncle, don't go, I'll go, I have a little martial arts background, I can't run if I encounter anything, now Uncle Jianguo has had an accident, you must not go wrong again." Lin Mo persuaded.
Li Jianmin thought about it again and again, and under the persuasion of several people, he thought about it, if something really happened, the second child's family would have to take care of it by himself, and there were still so many things in the family, it seemed that he could only take care of the overall situation. In the end, it was decided that Master Zhou would lead the team, plus Lin Mo and ten security personnel to go in together, although Master Zhou was very dissatisfied with Lin Mo's burden. But it was not good to say anything more.
The first night in the desert was unusually calm, the temperature at night was already so-so, Lin Mo slept until dawn until he was woken up by Master Zhou, Master Zhou really admired him, under this environment and pressure, he could still sleep like a dead pig, if he really entered the desert, he didn't know how to die.
"It's time for us to go. The old man, who was leaning against the door and smoking a cigarette, said, "You are lucky, the weather has been stable for the past two days, we have to hurry up, I don't want to encounter a sandstorm halfway through." ”
"Put your luggage and equipment on those camels. He pointed to the camel that was tied up outside, and he didn't know where he got it.
All the equipment was fixed, Lin Mo saw that every security guard was carrying an automatic rifle, which made him a little red-eyed, after he arrived in this world, he found that this is a technology-based world, and his personal strength is far less than in his previous life, but they can also play unexpected effects with the help of these technological weapons, such as firearms, although they can no longer pose a threat to him, but it is still very exciting to think about holding a machine gun and sweeping suddenly.
Li Jianmin on the side seemed to have discovered something, "Xiaolin, have you ever used a gun?"
"I've used it, just the one time I was with Tongtong. "I did, but I scrapped the gun.
Li Jianmin smiled and asked the person in charge of protecting him to take a pistol, "You can take this gun on the road to defend yourself." ”
At this time, taking advantage of Lin Mo's mind, a group of security personnel looked at Lin Mo staring at the gun with bright eyes like a turtle, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain in their eyes.
After saying goodbye to Li Jianmin, everyone went on the road, Master Zhou sat on the camel and didn't know whether to close his eyes or bother to take care of Lin Mo, he could only chat with the old man who was the guide.
"I said, uncle, you don't have any fun here every day, how can you get through it. ”
"What's this, I'm just an old man, I go around planting saplings during the day, and go to bed early at night, and it's my son who suffers him. ”
"Saplings? Why didn't I see a tree? ”
"Aren't they all dead? The old man's eyes widened, "Anyway, if the matter succeeds this time, can you help me alone." This is the first time Lin Mo has seen this old man who has seen through life and death and shows that he doesn't care about anything.
"What do you say first?"
"Do you want to help or not?"
Lin Mo glanced at the hookah pipe that was about to hit his head, "Help, you can say it." ”
"I've been like this all my life, I don't want my son to be like this, he's really young, if he's still alive I think you can take him out and take him to the outside world, and find him a place to live. ”
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask where you got your son, did there still be a yellow flower girl who stayed with you at that time. ”
"Can't I pick it up, it's really a pick-up, in fact, there have been expeditions before you, and those who don't listen to my persuasion have never come back, this child is the wife of the leader of one of the expeditions, and he came here with the expedition team, preparing to wait for his husband to come back in 909 Town, but her husband was not able to come back until the child was born, and then one night, this woman disappeared, leaving this baby to be raised by me. The old man sighed for a while.
Lin Mo really felt that this uncle's life was also strange and tragic, "Okay, I promise you, as long as I find someone, I will take him out and find him a good job." ”
The old man said that when he heard Lin Mo's answer, he laughed loudly, and his gong-like voice mixed with flying dust spread far away.
Master Zhou in the back opened his eyes slightly, if he leaned on his side and looked carefully, he would find that it was dusty outside, and other people were more or less covered with sand, but there was not a single grain on him, he also observed Lin Mo, and found that he was already disgraced, and he really thought about it too much.
