The Kubuqi Desert is the seventh largest desert in China, just north of the Odos Plateau, on the side of the Yellow River, just like a string hanging on the Yellow River.

The desert is 400 kilometers long and 50 kilometers wide, and although some of it has been developed into attractions, most of the area is a deserted adventure place.

When Li Shaoyang and Isabella arrived at the scenic spot on the edge of the desert, it was already early the next morning, they had eaten something at the scenic spot, and after searching for hours, they couldn't find a single camel. A local tour guide regretted: "It's so difficult to find a camel, and you have to rent it in Ulaanbaatar, but now camels are a rare treasure, and it is good to be able to rent them in three days." ”

At this attraction, called "Night Singing Sand", there is also a large sign that reads, "No unorganized desert adventures in any form." ”

The tour guide said that this year alone, there were four groups of tourists who did not listen to the dissuasion and ventured into the desert without permission, and as a result, a large number of police forces were dispatched near Odos to rescue, and in the end several died.

"The most are college students, and there are a few rich people, who have nothing to do when they are full, thinking that it is as romantic as in the movie, this desert, no one knows what danger there is after entering it."

According to Nuwa's video surveillance, the trucks had disappeared into the Kubuqi desert the night before.

Li Shaoyang thought for a while: "They can't go far, the truck can't run at all in the desert, and the environment in the desert is harsh, I guess they want to hide for a while and then come out." ”

Isabella was eager to try: "Then let's go in directly, without camels, and bring enough supplies for two days." "The title of the novel + black * rock * cabinet can watch the fastest chapter for free

Li Shaoyang is also really curious about what this moonlight energy company does.

The two of them bought a box of mineral water and some high-calorie food. I also bought a simple tent and lighting and other necessary supplies.

Walking into the desert all the way, Li Shaoyang was still depressed, if he had prepared military rations and compressed water balloons in advance, why would he suffer this crime.

Now he is carrying close to 60 kilograms and is hiking in the desert.

Isabella had survived in southern Afghanistan for half a year, and the harsh environment of the desert was certainly not a problem for her.

After they walked 10 kilometers, Li Shaoyang lost his direction: "Bella, are we going back?" ”

Isabella smiled beside her: "You have desert blindness, what am I afraid of here, the direction is absolutely right, I have seen the situation around me, if the information on the Internet is correct, only this direction has a small oasis, they can only go to that oasis." ”

The oasis in the desert is the only safe place, and Li Shaoyang trusts Isabella's judgment. In this infinite desert, he can no longer contact Nuwa, because Nuwa's communicator must be supported by a nearby base station signal, and he wants to use satellites? The one above L City who supported Nuwa's access to the Internet was a near-earth vehicle, not a satellite in the same orbit, and in this desert 108,000 miles away from L City, he had completely lost contact with the outside world.

Li Shaoyang wiped a handful of sweat, drank a bottle of water, took out the fruit mobile phone and looked at it, and was so angry that he almost threw it out.

No power!

Isabella smiled and took out the old-fashioned Nokian phone, full of power, she took out a chocolate peanut bar, smashed it with the Nokian phone, put it in the water and shook it, and then wrapped it in a layer of sand, which soon turned into hot chocolate peanut butter.

"It's 12 noon, and the hottest time in the desert is not the same as in the city, it's one hour after the sun rises to its highest, which is around 13 o'clock." Isabella expertly shook the chocolate peanut butter away, and the two of them took a few sips.

"You can't eat dry things directly in the desert, then your stomach will not be able to stand it, because it is too hot, a lot of water is eliminated from the body, and drink water not too fast and not too much, you have to swallow it slowly in small sips, otherwise the water will be discharged into sweat before it enters the blood." Isabella said again.

Li Shaoyang sat on the hot sand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't give me a lesson, walk another 10 kilometers, if you can't find it, we'll go back, let's go back and get ready......"

As he spoke, he stood up, and not far away, a golden light swirled and flew.

It was the scene after the sand reflected the sun.

"Is it a tornado?" Li Shaoyang was taken aback.

Isabella glanced at it: "Absolutely not, the tornado is not so small, and there is no wind, even if it is a tornado, it should be funnel-shaped, not this kind of cylindrical." ”

They crouched on a sand dune and saw an oasis.

Unlike the imaginary oasis, there is only a waterhole less than two meters in diameter, surrounded by grass and only a shrub that counts as a plant. Between the grasses and shrubs, there is also a layer of bare rock, which is very rare in the desert.

Isabella pushed Li Shaoyang, and he also saw that behind the rock layer of the oasis, there were seven or eight large trucks parked, and the large trucks had removed their tires and there was something like a skateboard at the bottom.

"They can drive trucks into the desert, and it seems to be the work of that weird skateboard, which is high-tech that has never been seen before." Isabella whispered.

Li Shaoyang nodded, which shows that there must be the support of a special force behind the moonlight company, which has advanced technology and strong financial resources.

Large trucks stand side by side, and the containers on top have been arranged into four rooms, and on top of the containers, a huge satellite receiver is fixed, which can receive signals from the satellites above in this desert place.

The container on the far left is open to dissipate the heat from the servers inside, and the most striking thing is a dozen men with guns guarding the container.

Whew, Li Shaoyang let out a breath, he already recognized that the equipment worn by these big men was the "human-level individual suit" developed by the northern military industry.

These sets have only been available for a few months through the Borderlands, and are currently only available to mercenary organizations, so it seems that these people are all mercenaries.

They lay on the sand dunes and waited until it got dark.

The surface of the desert seemed to be calm, but in fact, they had been doing subtle movements, and when night came, Li Shaoyang and Isabella had been covered with sand, and their positions had also moved back more than three meters.

During the day, it can reach a maximum of 45 degrees Celsius, but at night, it is only about 0 degrees Celsius.

Patting Isabella gently, Li Shaoyang squatted up and pulled out the fish intestine dagger in his waist.

Isabella pounced on him and pressed his hand: "Fool, your dagger will be reflective, and you will draw it when necessary." ”

Li Shaoyang looked down, and sure enough, the moonlight of the desert flickered on the cold blade, and the dagger first emitted a faint light, which could be seen from afar.

Although he is super powerful, he has not been systematically trained after all, and Isabella is an expert in this regard.

"The order of their patrols is clockwise, a total of three shifts, changing every seven hours, with a half-hour break, and only two sentries standing on top of the containers." Isabella leaned into his ear and whispered: "Wait another 20 minutes, when they change guards, let's touch it from the side, go to the top first, and solve it one by one." ”

Li Shaoyang was suddenly very glad that he had brought Isabella, otherwise he would definitely rush up directly, or the result would be similar, but that would definitely alarm the other party, maybe the other party would directly destroy the useful information.

He waited patiently for 20 minutes, and sure enough, the mercenaries unloaded their weapons, laughed and walked into a container, and then two more mercenaries climbed onto the top of the container, one holding a military binoculars to look around, and the other lying on it and setting up a sniper rifle.

But no matter how vigilant they were, the sight range of the two people was also limited, Isabella shrank up slightly, and when the two sentinel lines were transferred, she suddenly rushed out, and Li Shaoyang hurriedly followed.

They rushed to the bushes first and lay directly inside.

When the two sentries were not paying attention, they quickly rushed to the side and rear of the large truck, where a slender metal pipe was inserted into the rock formation, and a cooing sound could be heard, as if something was being pumped from the rock formation. And the metal pipe twitched, and the power blew a cloud of sand, spinning and flying out, which was the "tornado" they saw during the day.

Isabella leaned on the container and slowly climbed up, Li Shaoyang reached out to hook the top of the container, but it turned over directly.

The two sentinels turned their backs to them, and Isabella winked, and the two touched behind them.

Isabella punched the left fullback in the back of the head, causing him to faint, and Li Shaoyang grabbed the other man's neck.

Isabella pulled out the fish intestine dagger from his waist and slashed it off, cutting off one of the sentinel's fingers.

The sentinel's whole body trembled in pain, and he spasmed.

Isabella grabbed a layer of fine sand from the top of the container, wrapped it around the severed finger of the sentry, and whispered in English: "You still have 5 minutes to change the guard, I want to ask a few questions, if you can't answer in 3 minutes, I will cut off all your fingers first, then cut your toes, and finally cut ......"

She slapped the sentry on the thigh with a dagger: "Here...... Got it? ”

The brown-haired and blue-eyed mercenary hesitated for more than ten seconds, and finally bared his teeth and nodded.

Isabella dragged this guy from Li Shaoyang's hand: "You change into equipment, I'll interrogate." ”

She dragged the sentry to the back of the satellite launcher, and Li Shaoyang took the opportunity to change into a black human-level individual suit, with a sniper rifle on his back, a telescope, four magazines, and two pistols.

2 minutes later, there was a muffled snort from there, Isabella came back with a dagger, squatted back and said: "There are 12 people in container No. 3, all of them are mercenaries from Ethiopia, known as the 'Cobra Force', container No. 4 is a server, container No. 2 is supplies, and container No. 1 is equipment and personnel." But this guy doesn't know what the people in Container No. 1 are working on. ”

She said the tube behind her fingers: "He knows that these containers are using oil extracted from rock formations to make energy, as if they are studying some kind of coal!" ”

After Li Shaoyang silently looked at the satellite launcher, needless to say, the unlucky sentry had been killed by Isabella.

He touched his body, and there were two grenades, then handed one to Isabella, and pointed to the No. 3 container behind him.

Isabella shook her head triumphantly, two more tofu-like yellow squares in her hand.

"TNT explosives...... There are also detonators. Isabella expertly broke open a quarter of TNT, plugged in the detonator, and then came to the top of container three, slightly rotated the fish intestine sword, and cut a square hole in the top.

Li Shaoyang came over and saw a group of mercenaries standing in this container, drinking vodka and eating military rations.

Speaking of which, these people are their own customers......

Li Shaoyang nodded slightly, and Isabella delayed the detonation of the explosives for 10 seconds, and then quietly stuck them into the container along the cracked opening.

The two jumped out of the container quickly, ran 30 meters, and crawled in the sand.

I heard a loud bang, and the entire No. 3 container flew up, with a flying flame, flying more than ten meters high, like a giant firework.

The shock wave of the explosion directly caused the other containers to tumble, and then the slender metal pipe also flew into the sky with a whoosh, and the mouth of the pipe was still spraying black liquid, and the pungent smell could be smelled from 30 meters away.

Li Shaoyang looked up, there were bursts of cries and shouts for help from the No. 1 container, and then several people climbed out.

The first to stand up was a woman in a denim suit, her ponytail was covered with sand, but she said calmly and loudly: "Those bastard mercenaries detonated things?" Or is there a problem with the pipeline? ”

In the shining container lights, Li Shaoyang could see clearly.

Wheat-colored healthy skin, small and delicate facial features, and that calm and tenacious temperament are Situ Mingyue, who I haven't seen for a long time!
