The next day, not long after they set off, they noticed something strange.

In the desert where they walked, rows of footprints and camel footprints appeared.

It is hard to imagine that anyone could be in the Sea of Death in such a hostile environment, and the discovery of this footprint seems to be heading to the heart of the Sea of Death.

As a result, there was some speculation about them, but they all wanted to prove whose footprint it was.

After all, in the desert, the wind and sand are swept wildly, and the footprints on the sand dunes must not be far from them.

So Lin Yumai and his party immediately chased after them, and after chasing for about half a day, they finally found the owner of the footprints.

It was a column of geoarchaeologists on camels, nearly twenty in all, dusty, haggard, and very embarrassed.

Judging from the clothes they were wearing, these people seemed to be a team of Chinese archaeologists, and they seemed to have been circling the Sea of Death for a long time.

When he set out from Xinjiang, Lin Yumai also heard that an archaeological team and mercenaries had entered the Sea of Death, but the Sea of Death was so big that they didn't expect to meet it.

The group rushed over under the scorching sun, and as soon as they passed, they saw more than a dozen sturdy men with guns vigilantly pointing at Lin Yumai and these people.

"Don't shoot, we have no ill will. Lin Yumai shouted.

In the Sea of Death, it is rare to encounter people, and the only people you can encounter are some bandits and the like, but most of them are still active on the periphery of the Sea of Death, and rarely enter the Sea of Death.

The leader is a white-haired old man whose hair is about to fall out, the old man's whole person is in a state of confusion, and he looks like he is about to collapse, next to this old man, there are two people, one with short hair and one with fat man.

The short-haired young man had bright eyes, and he did not have any decadence due to the harsh environment of the desert, and the fat man was also very good, and he was a ruffian all his life, like a street hooligan.

Behind the three men were five or six uniformed archaeologists, men and women, and the others with guns were all mercenaries.

"Who are you?" said the short-haired young man calmly.

"We ...... We are also an archaeological team...... Lost in the sea of death. Lin Yumai hesitated for a while, because he almost didn't know what identity to explain.

The short-haired young man swept his eyes sharply over Lin Yumai's group, most of them were about twenty years younger, and there were two young girls and a little girl...... Only the black wolf is a middle-aged man, his eyes are a little fierce, but he seems to be the leader of this team, because the black wolf looks very familiar with the desert, but the other young people are much younger.

"Archaeological team?" the fat man looked at Lin Yumai questioningly.

"Put the gun down, have you ever seen a bandit with a little girl?" shouted the madman.

In fact, they managed to find people, unlike the big fight that scared them away, and besides, guns were of no use to them.

The short-haired young man glanced at Xiao Qiqi and saw a harmless look on his face, while the others were particularly calm.

Soon he found that Lin Yumai's group of people were unusually clean, their faces were white, and their bodies were almost spotless, except for sweat, these people seemed to be here for vacation, rather than an archaeological team lost in the desert.

His eyes were cold, and he directly pulled out his gun and said, "I'll give you another chance, who are you?"

Lin Yumai was also stunned, he didn't expect this short-haired man to have such sharp eyes.

"The clothes are so clean, as if you have eaten and drunk enough, and there is no wind and sand on your face, you little babies say that it is the archaeological team?" The fat man looked at Lin Yumai and the others with half-squinted eyes.

"It's embarrassing, how to explain it. Wang Zitao said with a gloating face, he couldn't tell them that they had eaten and drunk all the way, and they could take a bath.

Just when Lin Yumai was embarrassed and didn't know how to justify, Xiao Qiqi suddenly took out the archaeological work card, walked to Lin Yumai's side and said, "Brother, here you are." ”

Lin Yumai was stunned for a moment, and looked at the archaeological work certificate with wide eyes, which really seemed to be real.

Lin Yumai directly threw the archaeological work card to the short-haired youth.

"Jiangnan Province Desert Geological Archaeologist, Lin Yumai?" the short-haired young man read out the name on it.

Lin Yumai grinned and smiled awkwardly: "It's me." ”

The old man, whose hair was about to fall out, stepped forward, carefully looked at the archaeological work evidence, looked at it for a while, and said, "This is true. ”

The short-haired and fat man relaxed his guard a little, beckoned to the mercenary, and said, "Put it down, they are archaeologists." ”

However, Lin Yumai found that the short-haired man and the fat man were still watching them with wary eyes.

"By the way, dare to ask where you are going, there is the hinterland of the Sea of Death. Lin Yumai found the opportunity and said.

He glanced at the work card in front of the short-haired young man, the man was from the Huaxia Archaeological Association, and his name was Lin Dong.

The fat man is also from the Archaeological Association, and his name is Luo Hao.

The old man's name is Huang Yibo, and he is a university professor.

"There are so many historical relics in Lop Nur that every year someone from the Archaeological Association comes to the Sea of Death to find the truth of history, and we are this year's representatives, crossing the Sea of Death to find traces of history. Lin Dong, a short-haired young man, said.

"Did you find any useful relics?" Lin Yumai then asked.

"Not yet, we passed through the ruins of Loulan and the Jinggu ruins, but they had already been excavated, so we didn't find any new ruins at all, and our water and rations were exhausted, so we had to keep moving forward, looking for a way out. Lin Dong said with an ugly face.

"I ...... We have some food and water for you. Lin Yumai beckoned Wu Lei, Wang Zitao and others to take the water and food from the camel.

Originally, there was no need for such trouble, because everything could be stored in the Qiankun pocket, but in order not to attract the attention of others, they also put water and food on the camels.

After distributing all the water and food to the archaeological team, they were ecstatic and rushed for food like hungry wolves.

Lin Dong looked at Lin Yumai in disbelief and said, "You gave us all the food and water, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, we have the means to get water and food, so eat it. Zhentian smiled mysteriously.

"This ......," Lin Dong wondered.

The fat man Luo Hao bumped into him and said: "No one else is entangled, what are you entangled, drink water to fill your stomach first, and then go on, everyone will have to die." ”

The fat man glanced at Lin Yumai and said, "You are really angels sent by heaven, and you are our saviors." ”

That's called a moving tear, and it's almost time to bow and worship.
