Chapter 126: The Sea of Death
The frightened few people took off their luggage from the big truck, most of them looked dejected and listless, including Tianhao's mood at the moment is not much better, you know, no one will have a good mood if such a thing happens to anyone.
"Big brother, you are so unlucky for us this time, yesterday it was hard to rush close to more than 100 miles, and now I have encountered such a thing, this is still a life, fortunately I have a big life, otherwise I won't be able to see my eldest brother." It was the talent who had just been severely frightened who was speaking at this time. As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person leaned towards Tianhao, Tianhao sat not far from him, watching him do this, Tianhao suddenly felt that the cheerful atmosphere was back. So he reluctantly replied to him,
"You, how can you be the same, I almost peed my pants just now, this time it's good, I started to talk about these words again, turning my face faster than turning a book, and, don't call me big brother in the future, it's awkward to hear, I'm still younger than you, you see that you are all this age, you are about to become my uncle, don't call me big brother."
Innocent sat next to Caicai, the two of them are now like a pair of difficult brothers, there is no fighting at all, maybe it was the accident just now, which instantly made them feel that the people around them were too important, and it wouldn't be much fun if they continued like this, when he heard Tianhao say this, he spoke a little puzzled,
"That's not called big brother, what's it called, do we still call you Hao'er?"
"Haha, Hao'er, this is good, I'll call you Hao'er in the future, I'll see it." Cai hurriedly interjected on the side, and the appearance of the hippie smile looked very improper.
"Go and go, what Hao'er, what an ugly name, you must know that although I am younger than you, I am still your eldest brother in name, how can anyone in the world call your eldest brother anything, this, this is absolutely not good." Tianhao's tone had a hint of command.
"That's hard to call, it's not big brother, and you can't call it like that. I can't speak. ”
At one point, Tianhao suddenly felt that his name seemed so awkward at this moment, why was he called Tianhao, this seemingly simple question, in fact, he asked himself in his heart a long time ago, this is his grandfather obtained it for himself, what does it mean, and the meaning of his name, only he knows. Heaven and earth are magnificent, and there is a righteous atmosphere, and this society needs such an atmosphere. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any good slogan to call his name, and then he turned to the two of them and smiled.
"Then call me Brother Hao, I like this, and it's more suitable for the difference in status between us, people around me have always called me like this."
The two of them smiled and said, "This is what a big brother looks like, we will be the ones with a big brother in the future, Brother Hao is on top, and you are willing to accept such a reality." ”
Dabao, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, had been turning over the map in his hand very seriously, and when he heard the conversation between the three of them, he raised his head and said,
"Let's not waste time, we are still some distance from the target place, and we still have three days to go, and only by arriving at Nadumu Co in these three days will we have a chance of successfully retrieving the holy water. Although our journey has been hindered many times, but no matter what, since we have all come to this point, everyone must persevere, you two don't know now, our purpose this time is also to save people, now there is a life in our hands, if you don't do it, which life will have to be lost in our hands. So, we're going to pick up the speed, get on our backs, and hurry. ”
Often at this time, it is most necessary for someone to stand up and inspire, but Dabao at this time, undoubtedly played this role very well, originally after hearing him say this, the two quickly returned to their serious appearance, got up and put on their luggage, and followed the pace again towards the goal in the no-man's land.
Lop Nur, a lake in southeastern China. Because of its shape like a human ear, Lop Nur is known as the "ear of the earth"; Also known as the "Sea of Death", it was once the second largest inland lake in China, with an altitude of 780 meters. Lop Nur used to have many names, some named because of its characteristics, such as Aoze, Yanze, Dry Sea, etc., and some were named because of its location, such as Puchang Sea, Gaolan Sea, Peacock Sea, Luopu Pond, etc. After the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Luo Bu Naoer. In the mid-to-late 20th century, due to the decrease in the flow of the Tarim River, the surrounding desertification was serious and rapidly degraded until it completely dried up at the end of the 70s of the 20th century.
In fact, in the near future, this place was still a vast body of water, but due to all human and natural reasons in modern times, it has become what it is now. and the ancient country of Loulan that disappeared, and it became a pity that disappeared in it. There is nothing more to say about this culprit than humans.
However, it is in such a place, there are too many terrorist incidents about this area, and there have been too many terrifying incidents about it throughout China, and no one thought that the place where a few people are coming this time will be such a terrifying desert sea.
Throughout the ages, in order to uncover the true face of Lop Nur, countless explorers have sacrificed their lives and died to go deep into it, and there are many tragic stories, which have put a veil of mystery on Lop Nur. Some people say that the Lop Nur area is a "devil's triangle" on the Asian continent, through which the ancient Silk Road of the Chinese nation passes, and many lonely souls and wild ghosts roam here throughout the ages, and dry bones are everywhere. When the Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Fa Xian traveled west to learn scriptures and passed by here, he once wrote, "There are many evil ghosts in the Sand River, and those who meet the hot wind will die, and none of them will ......." Many people died of thirst not far from the springs, and incredible things happened from time to time.
It was under the influence of such horror that the four of them were approaching the sea of death step by step. The impact of the incident just now, Dabao carefully looked at the map, because Lop Nur is located in the desert, if you want to enter it, you must first cross the outer desert, the map is very complete to show the place where there is an oasis, as long as you find a place with an oasis, a few people can rest, so that the chance of crossing on foot will be greater.
Tianhao took the small map from Dabao's hand, and carefully looked at it while hurrying, this is made of yellow kraft paper, it feels good in his hand, about the size of a human face, with some strokes outlined in black than simple, that is the route he is on, obviously, according to the distance on this map, he is now in the outer desert area of Lop Nur, and the route along the way, it shows two places with trees, which means that there are only two oases, My next stop is where the first oasis is located, and although the actual distance is not stated on the map, it will not be close just by feeling. It seems that there is still a long way to go.
