Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 138 Searching for the Black Desert Again
Rushed to Dunhuang that night, rested in the hotel for one night, and the next morning, Bai Yang accompanied Ding Lingling to visit Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian's brothers.
As soon as Ma Bingxiao saw the two of them, he excitedly immediately chased after them and asked them if they were still looking for a big tomb in Dunhuang, and Bai Yang could only vaguely say something.
Just in the office of the general manager of Shahai Company, he talked with Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian, and when Ma Daocheng heard that they were looking for the black desert, he showed some embarrassment.
Ma Bingxiao jumped up and said happily: "You want to go into the Black Desert? Can you take me with you?"
Before Bai Yang and Ding Lingling could answer, Ma Daocheng glared at Ma Bingxiao with a face.
Waiting for Ma Bingxiao to sit down honestly, Ma Daocheng said cautiously: "Don't tell you two that although our brothers have entered the Black Desert once, they are really frightened and dare not go in that direction again!
Ding Lingling hurriedly opened her mouth and said: "Uncle Ma misunderstood what we meant, we don't dare to ask the two Uncle Ma to lead the way in person, we just want to ask the two Uncle Ma to point out a general direction, if we can help draw a map, it will naturally be better!"
Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian looked at each other, and Ma Daoxian said: "Miss Ding should have also entered the desert, right? You should know that the mountainous landforms in the desert will change at any time, not to mention that more than ten years have passed, we can't remember it clearly at all, even if we draw a map, I'm afraid it won't be of much use!"
Ding Lingling didn't know that what Ma Daocheng said was reasonable, and she couldn't help but worry about her eyebrows.
Ma Daocheng thought about it for a while, and said, "Actually...... Our elder was the one who was rescued by the Dinns, and he had been trying to re-enter the Black Desert all these years. It's just that my brother has repeatedly blocked us, and he has carried us in twice on his back, and we don't know if we find the black desert, but ...... If we can ask him to lead the way, it will definitely be better than our brothers and sisters! It's just that the old man is old, and we are a little worried that his body can't stand it!"
Ding Lingling was overjoyed and said, "I don't know where this old man is, can you let us talk to the old man?" The two uncles don't worry, we just want to ask the old man to help us draw a map, and we don't dare to ask the old man to take us into the desert himself!"
"I really want to alarm his old man, I'm afraid that you don't want him to accompany him!" Ma Daocheng shook his head with a wry smile, "Just because we are only doing legitimate business now, and we don't touch the business of fighting at all, the old man said that he is not used to it, and he moved back to his hometown alone! But if you want to enter the Black Desert, you must pass through his hometown! In this way, I will arrange for someone to take you to find him first, as for whether you want to ask him to lead the way, it depends on how you talk to his old man!"
Bai Yang and Ding Lingling hurriedly thanked him, and Ma Bingxiao said: "You don't need to find someone else to lead the way, just let me show them the way! Anyway, I've been to Grandpa Chen's house several times, and I can find it with my eyes closed!"
"Let you lead the way, do you want to enter the Black Desert?" Ma Daocheng's face sank, "Our Shahai Company is only doing legitimate business now, you just let me stay at home honestly!"
"I'm not going to fight backwards, and Lao Bai and they are all members of the regular archaeological team, with them, what else are you worried about!" Ma Bingxiao argued.
Ma Daocheng simply turned his face away and ignored him.
Bai Yang and Ding Lingling immediately understood that Ma Daocheng refused to let Ma Bingxiao go with him, not because he was afraid that he would be hooked on the inverted fight, but because it was too dangerous to enter the Black Desert, and he didn't want his son to experience the kind of horror he had experienced.
So Bai Yang and Ding Lingling did not interject, but stood up and said goodbye to the Ma family.
went to the post office to call Ding Sicheng, but Ding Sicheng asked them to wait in Dunhuang for three days, saying that they had equipment to send them.
Bai Yang and the others didn't know what equipment they would have, but they were happy to rest in Dunhuang for three days.
When the equipment arrived three days later, Baiyang and the others were stunned.
The first to escort this batch of equipment was actually the Caucasian bodyguard Max of the patriotic overseas Chinese Chu Changjiang.
And all the equipment he escorted was the latest equipment that was rare in China.
For example, the two cars, one is the latest jeep, and the other is an off-road pickup truck. Regardless of anything else, just the wide and thick wheels have shown full of majesty.
The pickup truck is equipped with the latest instruments, which are all necessary tools for exploring tombs, and compared with the previous ones used by Poplar and others, they are not only more delicate and compact, but also more powerful.
There are also several weapons, among which there are several up-to-date pistols and submachine guns.
Firearms are the most strictly controlled products in China, and it is hard to imagine how much power Ding Sicheng has in his hands to be able to grant these firearms to non-military personnel for use.
Since the iron bull was demobilized, he has never touched a regular firearm, and occasionally his hands are itchy, so he can only use a shotgun to get over it.
So as soon as he saw these new weapons, he was so happy that he wanted to try two shots, but Poplar hurriedly stopped him, turned around and asked Max, "Why did you personally escort these things?"
Max couldn't understand Chinese, but an interpreter who came with him hurriedly replied in his place: "Because Mr. Chu Changjiang is also going with you this time, Max is responsible for Mr. Chu Changjiang's safety!"
Bai Yang was taken aback, and then he realized that the main reason why this batch of firearms could be specially approved was to protect this foreign guest Chu Changjiang.
Bai Yang couldn't help frowning, called Ding Lingling aside, and said, "Why does this foreigner also want to follow?
"No!" Ding Lingling immediately shook her head, "You are the group leader, if my father didn't even tell you, let alone tell me! Could it be that this Mr. Chu made a temporary decision, so my father didn't tell us?"
"Look at these equipment, it's not ready at any time, Chu Changjiang is afraid that he has already made up his mind to enter the Black Desert with me!"
"Then when you call my dad later, ask my dad directly!" Ding Lingling replied.
Poplar nodded, and said, "There is still ...... Don't forget what was the biggest danger that Ma Daocheng encountered when he entered the Black Desert ten years ago, at least I think that bringing these guns will not make us safer, but more dangerous!"
"You mean, I'm afraid that if we enter the Black Desert, we will also have illusions like the two Uncle Ma and fight each other?" Ding Lingling asked rhetorically.
"Yes, once you have a hallucination and pick up your guns and shoot at each other, you won't even have a chance to regain your senses!" Poplar said.
"Illusions...... Probably not!" Ding Lingling thought about it and replied, "Don't ask why not, in short, my dad has always wanted to go to the Black Desert, but he hasn't been there for more than ten years, just because he is afraid of this illusion! But now my dad has found a way to restrain the illusion, otherwise he wouldn't let us easily get into danger, and it would be impossible to agree to Mr. Chu to go with us!"
"Really, what is the method?" Poplar blurted out overjoyed.
"I told you not to ask, if it's time to have an illusion, you'll naturally know!" Ding Lingling smiled.
Bai Yang knew that Ding Sicheng was far-sighted, and he suddenly put his mind at ease.
Then he went to the post office to call Ding Sicheng and told him that the equipment had arrived.
Asked about Chu Changjiang's accompanying party, Ding Sicheng sighed on the other end of the phone and said: "This overseas Chinese has indeed proposed to go to the Black Desert with him a long time ago, and you can ask him directly when he arrives! The reason why I didn't tell you in advance is because I didn't want him to go, after all, he is a foreign dignitary, and if something happens, it will be a big trouble!" However, this overseas Chinese gentleman has all his hands and eyes, and I stopped him from going, but he asked a higher level of leadership to put pressure on me, and those latest firearms were also specially approved by the superior leaders, asking us to protect the safety of this overseas Chinese gentleman!"
Bai Yang suddenly realized, although he felt that the task was arduous, but he hurriedly comforted Ding Sicheng in turn and said: "Uncle Ding don't have to worry too much! I think the most dangerous thing about this trip is the fact that Uncle Ma Daocheng mentioned that entering the Black Desert will produce illusions and kill each other! However, Lingling told me that Uncle Ding has found a way to restrain the illusion, so I don't think there will be too much of a problem with the rest, and I am very confident to ensure the safety of this overseas Chinese gentleman!"
"I'm much more relieved when you say that!" Ding Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief over there, "But there is also an inverted gang in the Taklamakan area, they used to be desert bandits, but after the liberation, the bandits in all China were eradicated one by one, and this gang had to be reined in, most of the time it only did inverted fighting, but if they encountered rich people passing by, they would also rob them." You're well-equipped this time, and you're afraid you'll attract their attention, so not only is it dangerous to enter the desert, but you also have to be careful along the way!"
Poplar hurriedly agreed.
When I hung up the phone and told Ding Lingling, Ding Lingling said: "I heard my father mention this desert bandit, legend has it that they have a treasure that the inverted people dream of, if I really meet them, I want to see if it's true!"
"What is the treasure of the inverted man? is there anything more precious than your pair of jade hummingbirds?" asked Poplar with a smile.
Ding Lingling raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said: "That kind of treasure is more than the jade hummingbird baby, but I have eighty percent suspicion that it is just a legend, and it is impossible to really have such a magical creature!"
"What the hell is it?" asked Poplar.
Ding Lingling deliberately showed a mysterious face, and lowered her voice slightly and said, "That's ...... Golden Mastiff!"
