Chapter 133: Rapid Search 2
The entrance of the cave was just leeward, so there was not much sand and dust blowing into the cave, Ye Feng and Lao Hei searched carefully against the cave wall.
This is a natural cave, the entrance of the cave is not small, but the inside of the cave is not big, and it is not as deep as Ye Feng and the others guessed, at best, it is only a few dozen square areas.
After searching in the dark for a week, nothing was found, no Cao Dan, and no suspicious people, and Lao Hei and Ye Feng relaxed.
Lao Hei turned on the flashlight and looked carefully inside the cave, and found a pile of weeds in the middle of the cave, which looked like some withered camel thorns, and a small quilt next to it. The camel thorns were covered in a thick patch, and it looked like someone was sleeping here, and the pile of camel thorns looked like the grass bed of the cave owner.
Ye Feng rummaged between the camel thorns and saw nothing, Ye Feng opened the stack of cups next to him again, and there was a satellite phone under the quilt.
"Lao Hei, this is Cao Dan's phone." Ye Feng said to Lao Hei. Everyone knows Cao Dan's phone, and each of them has a specially customized phone, which is different from the appearance of the general satellite phone on the market.
Ma Bo watched outside for a while, and found that Ye Feng and Lao Hei were chatting in the cave, so he also followed into the cave.
Ma Bo saw the satellite phone in Ye Feng's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Cao Dan, this kid shouldn't have been eaten by a wolf, this place is obviously a wolf cave, how can his phone be in such a place?" ”
"You kid was just bitten by a wolf." Ye Feng scolded.
"Could it be that Cao Dan usually lives here?" Old Hei wondered.
"It is very likely that there is no one in a radius of dozens of kilometers from this place, and if Toyo Sakai Ma Village is active in this vicinity, in order to facilitate tracking and surveillance, Cao Dan can only live in this cave." Ye Feng said.
"This place belongs to the edge of the world's largest mobile desert, and the temperature difference between day and night is usually large, if Cao Dan wants to survive in this place, he must have a sheltered place, this place should be Cao Dan's residence in the Western Regions, Ma Bo, let's look around and look for anything else of value." Ye Feng said and began to rummage carefully in the cave.
I rummaged for a while and found nothing.
Cao Dan is alone in this place, and the satellite phone is not on him, if he can't find something of certain value that can judge Cao Dan's whereabouts in this cave or around Shandong, then looking for a person in this vast Gobi or desert is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is impossible.
"This Cao Dan, I don't know how to bring a satellite phone when I go out." Ma Bo cursed angrily.
"It's not that simple, it's possible that Cao Dan was forced to do so, or because after Cao Dan found some valuable clues, he was worried that the tracking with a satellite phone would expose us all, so he put the satellite phone in the cave." Lao Hei said.
Everyone was sitting at the door of the cave, discussing the next step, Ma Bo grabbed a few stones at the door of the cave and threw them outside, complaining while throwing: "This kid is really a fucked thing, and I don't know how to leave some clues for everyone, if it goes on like this, how can I find him, maybe this guy has been killed by someone." ”
Ye Feng was thinking, and suddenly his eyes were fixed on the stone in Ma Bo's hand, and just as Ma Bo was about to throw the stone in his hand, Ye Feng snatched it from his hand.
I couldn't find Cao Dan, when Ma Bo was upset, when Ye Feng was still snatching him like a child, when he was about to get angry, he saw Ye Feng staring at the stone in his hand with a serious expression, Ma Bo couldn't help but get up.
Ma Bo took out a magnifying glass from the cloth bag, and after carefully examining the stone he had just snatched from Ma Bo's hand, he turned to Lao Hei and Ma Bo with a serious expression and said, "This is molybdenum ore." ”
"Molybdenum ore?" Lao Hei and Ma Bo asked in unison.
"Have you noticed, the mountain we are in now is a limestone mountain range, and this stone is indeed a granite mine, and small granite stones have appeared on the limestone mountain, it must have been brought by someone else from other places, it should be Cao Dan. You haven't found it, and maybe Cao Dan himself doesn't know, this granite has molybdenum ore on it, and this thing is the same as the molybdenum mine I found in Huahai City. Ye Feng said.
"Ye Feng, you kid won't fool us?" Lao Hei asked solemnly.
Lao Hei and Ma Bo don't know minerals, and when they look at granite as granite, they naturally can't see any half-born minerals in it. However, if what Ye Feng said was true, and the ores at the entrance of the cave were indeed brought back by Cao Dan from other places, then Cao Dan's current situation would be quite dangerous.
The Oriental kendo master Sakai Mamura came to the Western Regions, and also contacted a local Oriental Chamber of Commerce, and now the molybdenum ore mineral has been discovered, and there are many indications that Sakai Mamura does have a connection with the Toyo Aoki Group, and Cao Dan is likely to be discovered by them when he was tracking and monitoring Sakai Mamura. It's hard to say whether it's life or death now.
After Ye Feng stared at the stone in his hand for a while, he turned to Lao Hei and Ma Bo and said, "Let's go to the side of the road and wait for the rabbit." ”
"Waiting for the rabbit?" Ma Bo wondered.
"Yes." Ye Feng took the lead and rushed down the hill and ran directly to the side of the road to squat.
This highway is the only large highway on the northern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, and all large vehicles must travel from this road. Because of the remote location, there is not much traffic, and it takes three to five minutes to see a car at the earliest.
Except for some tankers from nearby oil fields, most of them are cargo trucks and tourist vehicles.
Ye Feng squatted on the side of the highway and stared at the incoming and outgoing vehicles, Lao Hei and Ma Bo followed behind Ye Feng and also stared at the incoming and outgoing vehicles, but they didn't know what the hell Ye Feng was doing.
The trucks passed by one by one, and Ye Feng didn't react. Lao Hei couldn't hold it back, pushed Ye Feng's shoulder and asked, "What are you kid doing?" Can you find Cao Dan by looking at the car here? ”
"Look at the heavy car, the big truck is covered with canvas, we can't see the things inside, look at the tires, the tires will be deformed, and when we see the heavy car, we will go up to see if it is the kind of stone that pulls." Ye Feng said.
At this time, a big truck drove from a distance, and when the car passed by Ye Feng, Ye Feng beckoned to everyone: "Get in the car." ”
Because of the impact of the sandstorm, the line of sight was not good, and the car was not driving very fast, Ye Feng, Lao Hei and Ma Bo quickly ran away from behind, and soon climbed into the truck from behind. Climbing to the roof of the car, Ye Feng took out his saber and cut a hole in the canvas on the roof of the truck, and reached out to take out a stone inside.
Sure enough, it is a granite mine with molybdenum ore half-born.
Ye Feng made an OK gesture to Lao Hei and Ma Bobi, and the three of them quietly lay on the roof of the car, following the truck in the sandstorm for more than ten minutes. The three of Ye Feng soon became Minions—covered in yellow sand.
After the car left the main road and passed through the wasteland full of gravel, the truck turned into a foothill, from the top of the car, Ye Feng and they saw a group of people in the distance walking back and forth at a mountain pass at the foot of the mountain, as if they were patrolling something, Ye Feng and they quickly jumped out of the car and hid on the big rock at the foot of the mountain.
The car went out of the mountain, and after several people stepped forward to interrogate it, they let the car drive over.
Ye Feng and the others saw those people on patrol, each with a gun in their hands, looking like an armed organization.
The big trucks were full of granite gravel that had been crushed and associated with molybdenum ore minerals, and there were so many people guarding the place where these gravel pulling vehicles drove in, Ye Feng guessed that it might be a molybdenum ore stacking point or a molybdenum ore concentrate smelting point.
Ye Feng, Lao Hei, and Ma Bo bypassed the realization of the heavily armed guards outside and made a detour to the rear of the mountain pass.
Both the rear and the side of the col are surrounded by bare hills, and except for the side guarded by the guards, which can be driven in, the rest of the place is surrounded by bare hills, and ordinary people cannot enter at all.
However, whether it is Lao Hei, Ye Feng or Ma Bo, they survive in the wild all year round, and they are very familiar with all kinds of wild environments, climbing through these mountain bags is really a piece of cake for them, and soon, Ye Feng and they will cross the mountain bags and enter the mountain col.
Sure enough, it can be seen from some of the equipment in the col that this is a simple molybdenum concentrate smelting point. The col was full of guards who had come to look for patrols, and when I heard them talking, I could tell that it was a group of Orientals.
Ye Feng and Lao Hei avoided the patrols and patrolled, using various equipment and the debris piles piled up like a hill in the mountain col to cover them, and went in to find any place where Cao Dan might be found.
This is a molybdenum concentrate smelting point, and the gravel piled up on the cave door of Cao Dan's satellite phone was found to be consistent with the other party's gravel in this col from the lithology or the size of the broken stone particles, that is, Cao Dan was a stone taken from this place.
Cao Dan didn't know about molybdenum ore, but judging from Cao Dan's behavior of taking stones from here, he must have felt that it was not normal for these people to smelt these stones here.
A group of Orientals guarding a mountain col with loaded guns, and then smelting a pile of stones that look like ordinary granite mines in it, would be abnormal for anyone.
Lao Hei walked in the front, and suddenly, Lao Hei lowered his body and waved his hand to let Ye Feng and Ma Bo lower their bodies, hiding between a large stone and a pile of rubble. Ye Feng lowered his body and approached Lao Hei, and following the direction of Lao Hei's finger, Ye Feng saw a person tied to a cross.
The yellow sand covered his eyes, but Ye Feng could still see that the person tied to the cross was his brother Cao Dan.
