Chapter 118: It's Time to Ask

Xing Wensu is quite low-key, and his father is a genius in a certain field, so he can only become a Chinese citizen after giving up his Chinese nationality.

You must know that Chinese nationality is the most difficult thing in the world to obtain, and once you give it up, then unless you make a significant contribution to the country, your children and grandchildren will not be able to get it.

Since his father can become Chinese again, it shows his importance to the country, and sometimes, Xing Wensu will suspect that his father was actually just a pretense for becoming an American citizen, just to get close to the core research, otherwise why would he move his family back to China now?

With such a capable father, Xing Wensu has become a person with an "unusual background" in Chen Youfei's mouth.

Xing Wensu is also secretly protected by the state, so many times, Chen Youfei has no way to deal with him.

And Xing Wensu also inherited his father's excellent mind, coupled with the resources he secretly contacted when he was abroad, Xing Wensu got a lot of convenience.

This gun, in fact, he doesn't know who arranged it, of course, Chen Youfei arranged it with the highest possibility.

Illegal possession of firearms is a very serious crime in China, not to mention that this is the great northwest, where the country is maintaining stability and cracking down on terrorists, how can it be possible to get a gun at will?

At that time, Ryan only cared about imprisoning Xu Nianran, and when he paid for the bill, the vendor stuffed the gun into his unzipped backpack, :1: Ben: Read: Novel 3w.ybdu himself was also stunned for a moment at the time, and then reacted that this hawker might be the person arranged by Chen Youfei.

With the help of the state, Chen Youfei can naturally do a lot of things conveniently.

Xing Wensu didn't want to expose himself to a gun too early, but just now, when he saw the materials prepared by Qin Yan and them, the big man named Joseph, wiping a slight punch, Xing Wensu knew that the firepower of this group of outlaws was very fierce, and if he didn't give them a little deterrence in advance, the treatment in the future might be similar to that of prisoners of war.

The composition of their team is more complicated, it is neither a simple expedition nor a simple quest for money, whether the woman named Pei Aishi is Qin Yan and his gang remains to be identified, and he can only ensure that Xu Nianran is his own person at present, and the others must be guarded against.

If according to Ryan's statement, then Qin Yan is a mind-type person who is good at using guns and can read minds, and the things that charge into battle are probably done by Ryan's humanoid weapon and the big Joseph, and the first thing he has to watch out for are these two people with direct threats.

The immediate threat, perhaps, will not be the biggest threat.

The biggest threats are generally well hidden and won't be exposed to you.

……

Xu Nianran woke up in the early hours of the morning, it was too cold, the tent could shelter from the wind, but the sleeping bag could not provide much warmth.

She listened with her ears open, and the wind whistling outside showed no sign of abating, and the ground was cold and hard.

By this time, the windproof lights in the tent had been turned off, and through the small crack in the door that had been opened, the sky outside was still blue-black, and soon, as the sun rose, the temperature of the sand would rise.

The dry climate made her lips dry, and she raised her hand to touch her lip flap, remembering Chen Youfei's care when she was at home...... In fact, it can be described as meticulous? She smirked, it's really good to be at home for a thousand days, and it's hard to go out.

Xu Nianran carefully got up from the sleeping bag, making a little sound of the friction of the clothes, she was careful not to wake up Xing Wensu, she was wearing the jacket that Ryan threw her, crawled to the door of the tent, and reached out to pull the zipper.

Originally, the zipper was open with a small opening for breathing, she pulled it down gently, and before she could finish the movement, a cold muzzle came in through the gap where it was opened.

"......" Xu Nianran was stunned, and reflexively raised his hands motionless.

A big hand unzipped it from the outside, wrapped around Joseph, who only had a pair of eyes exposed, pointed a gun at Xu Nianran.

"I ...... Get up and breathe. Xu Nianran stabilized his tone and said carefully.

Joseph's dark brown eyes glanced at the tent, Xing Wensu, who had been on guard in the first half of the night, was asleep, Xu Nianran raised his two hands, wearing Ryan's jacket on his body, and the palms of both hands were exposed from the cuffs.

He didn't say a word, reached out and pinched Xu Nianran's two arms, made sure that he didn't hide the weapon, put away the gun and turned to leave.

Xu Nianran exhaled slightly, she had almost forgotten the days of talking to people in a low voice.

When she was a child in the welfare home, in order to prevent others from discovering her abnormality, she finally hid in the corner silently, and this lonely day left a big shadow in her heart, so when she first arrived at Chen's house, she was so cautious that she didn't even dare to speak a little louder.

Later, gradually, Xu Nianran discovered that although Chen Youfei was strict with her discipline, she had a deep love, the kind of love that really regarded herself as a family, so she was also willing to "keep her voice down" to Chen Youfei.

She poked out of the tent and saw Ryan and Joseph sitting at the middle of the fire, both of them in the middle of the night.

It is said that it is on duty at night, but in fact, when guarding against external dangers, it is also to monitor whether there are people inside them to make small movements.

Xu Nianran wrapped his clothes tightly and walked out.

“…… If you don't sleep well, what are you doing when you get up? Joseph is not as good-natured as I am to take care of you all the way. Ryan yawned and leaned on the stone, as if the darkness and wind around him had no effect on him, and he was still at ease.

"I woke up and got up to breathe." Xu Nianran tightened his neckline and curled up to sit on his side.

"Look at this mountain pass." Ryan raised his hand and pointed into the dark col, "Tomorrow we will enter the mountain from here, and there is a desert with a higher altitude above here...... It is said to be beautiful. ”

"It's so desolate here, and the desert is just a piece of gravel and gravel, how can it be beautiful?" Xu Nianran shook his head.

In her heart, the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters are beautiful places, because they are suitable for human life and habitation, and this desolate Gobi Desert, no matter how beautiful, can only be a natural landscape, without that kind of attachment state of mind.

"Nono, cruelty, but also a beauty." Ryan said with a smile.

Xu Nianran pursed his lips and decided not to discuss the issue of big differences with him, the two of them have too different thinking concepts and are not suitable for discussing problems.

"It's not a desert, the melting glaciers form small lakes, and the dunes are blown into waves, and it looks like a desert ocean, and the lakes are like pearls on the ocean." Ryan said poetically.

When he says this, he looks more like an explorer, but by nature, he is a thief.

"Your country is in this beautiful sea of sand, and according to our estimation, it should be very well preserved, and it is an astonishing treasure."

It's a pity that Xu Nianran is not interested in whether this wealth is shocking or not.

She wants time, she wants reincarnation.

What she wanted was for herself to have more opportunities to be by that man's side.

"Don't stop talking, I said I wouldn't destroy your mausoleum - only if you can open the treasure vault without any problems." Ryan smiled and patted Xu Nianran's back.

“…… There are some things that may be important to me, no matter how valuable these things are, I hope you can give them to me, of course, other things, you can take as much as you can, anyway, it's not mine, and I can't stop you. Xu Nianran replied flatly.

"Well...... That companion of yours has already told us, don't worry, as long as we can find the treasure, we will pay a good dividend......" Ryan grinned.

Xu Nianran didn't believe his words very much, a good dividend? I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'll find a way to kill people and kill people, right?

The dawn in the desert is relatively fast, and when the sky begins to break, the light quickly dispels the darkness, and the temperature gradually rises, and March is not so hot as a scorching heat, but the wind is a headache.

"Nianran, here you go, put it on." Xing Wensu handed over the mask and windproof goggles, which were given to him by Qin Yan just now.

The weapons are only held by Qin Yan, Ryan, and Joseph, and they are given two bodyguard daggers and oxygen cylinders, and from here they have to start climbing up, and altitude and oxygen are a problem.

"We're going to climb up on our feet?" Xu Nianran couldn't believe it.

Xing Wensu nodded, there is only a place to walk by foot, otherwise what else can you do? There are no conditions for driving in this kind of mountain, and it is estimated that only helicopters can be used, but the problem is that once such a thing as a helicopter is used, it will be immediately detected on the military's radar.

Except for Chen Youfei, who has obtained state privileges and can coordinate departments, localities and military assistance, who has the ability to use them? No matter how awesome Qin Yan is, it is impossible for them to smuggle a helicopter into the Chinese mainland.

"Nianran, have you ever climbed a mountain before? Don't tell me the kind in the park, it's the kind that is very high. Xing Wensu tried to distract her and cheer her up.

Xu Nianran nodded and said, "Climb over...... When I climbed Changbai Mountain and took me on a tour with my brother, I also took a tour bus...... I didn't start at the foot of the mountain. ”

"Let's go slowly, it's not that I have to climb up today, I guess one day is not enough at all, I just overheard their conversation, it seems that I have to walk into the belly of the mountain for a few days." Xing Wensu pulled her, and the two of them walked forward cautiously in the middle of the line.

The mountains here are full of stones and gravel, and the distant summits are covered with snow, and this hidden mountain is called Mount Kinabalu, but as far as the eye can see, there are sand dunes, which are unique to the highland desert.

Xu Nianran has begun to slowly feel dizziness and difficulty breathing, it is said that the famous Kumu Kuli Desert, the altitude is more than 4,000 meters, the area they are walking now, it is definitely not so high, but the more they go into the mountains, the stronger this uncomfortable feeling becomes.
