Lop Nur, a lake in the southeastern part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 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 later transformed by geological engineers to become the City of Hope.

The geographical masterpiece "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the pre-Qin period is called Youze, and it is also called Size, Yanze, Puchanghai and so on. Lobnauer is a Mongolian transliteration name, which means a lake of many waters.

In the eastern part of the Tarim Basin, with an altitude of about 780 meters, it is located at the lowest point of the Tarim Basin, where the Tarim River, the Peacock River, the Cherchen River and the Shule River converge, making it the second largest saltwater lake in China.

Before 330 A.D., there was a lot of lake water, and the city of Loulan in the northwest was the famous throat of the Silk Road, and then due to climate change and the impact of human water conservancy projects, the upstream water decreased until it dried up, and now it is only a large salt crust.

More than a dozen cars, driving in the desert with no people, the opening of the emperor's tomb is a big event, although it has been carried out very low-key, but it can't hide the middle-aged man with the highest power, of course, Lin Fei has no intention of hiding the other party's thoughts.

Therefore, there were more than a dozen cars, some archaeological experts, some of whom were still Bai Jingting's classmates back then, who didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Lin Fei was not easy to refuse, but just ordered them not to enter the inner tomb archaeology without permission, otherwise he didn't care whether these people lived or died.

For this reason, these archaeologists have six or seven more bodyguards with good skills, of course, this kind of goodness is just for ordinary people, compared to Lin Fei, one in the sky and the other on the ground, there is an insurmountable difference!

"Head, what should we do when we enter the Emperor's Tomb?"

In this line of convoys, in one of the cars, sat Zheng Haiyang and Shi Ningxiang, who were invited, this is the promise that Lin Fei made to them, and naturally it is because of the promise that the two of them will join the exploration of the emperor's tomb this time.

Except for the original stones that may exist in the emperor's tomb, Lin Fei didn't have much interest in the rest, and it just so happened that Zheng Haiyang, who got the metal fragments, except for the last remaining metal fragments in the emperor's tomb, what he wanted most was also the original stone.

As Zheng Haiyang's strength increases, his ambitions are naturally constantly expanding, in fact, the mysterious person who appeared in the first councilor of the Dark Castle before, Gavin Habakak, he is Zheng Haiyang.

He has always been concerned about Lin Fei, and he has always been jealous of Lin Fei, Lin Fei's strength has grown too fast, so fast that it makes him feel cold, and he also vividly calculates all the forces and people who are dangerous to him.

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the change!

Except for the two of them, there was only some water and food left in this car, and there were no outsiders, so Zheng Haiyang was not taboo, took off the disguise on his face, and said with a gloomy face: "Looking for the original stone and enhancing the strength, unless you have the certainty of winning Lin Fei, you must not be able to see the slightest clue from him." ”

Lin Fei was in the Skynet base, he didn't know what happened at all, and even the whole world knew that the specific thing was no more than one hand, but Skynet was beaten by Lin Fei and bowed his head to make peace, and he also handed over the key to the Emperor's Tomb that he had obtained by sacrificing many cultivated masters.

This alone is enough to see Lin Fei's horror!

Therefore, Zheng Haiyang's imminent heart was forced down by him again.

In another car, Lin Fei looked at Xu Ying, who had just met, embarrassedly, and grinned: "I hope you don't mind, after all, this is the request from above, and I can't do without the support of the above for many things, so ......"

Xu Ying smiled slightly, "No matter how big things are, won't it be delayed for a few more days, as long as we enter the emperor's tomb, these people don't affect our business, and nothing else matters." ”

"Of course, once the Emperor's Tomb is opened, we will leave these archaeologists behind and act alone!"

Lin Fei nodded and said, these people are a burden, if you take them, you can basically reach the destination in two days, but now, it will take at least three to four days.

Now the spring is blooming, and in the lifeless desert of Lop Nur, there is no spring in sight, only the blazing high temperature, even if the car has turned the air conditioner to the coldest temperature, the temperature in the car is nearly 30 degrees.

These are specially modified mountain buggies that can be easily climbed even on steep slopes of 60 degrees, and are made of materials that are resistant to high temperatures and cold.

Lop Nur, the second largest freshwater lake in China, once created such a thriving civilization, but also destroyed all species here, including the former Loulan also flourished here and then disappeared.

With the third diversion, the lake has been reduced and disappeared into the endless wasteland it is today, and desertification has begun in some areas.

There are no roads in the flat wasteland, and there is no need for any roads, just keep moving in the direction where the destination is sitting, and here it is a road that few people have traveled.

The convoy kept moving at this steady speed, with a distance of at least ten meters between the cars, and suddenly, the car at the front of the convoy and the ground under the car instantly sank.

Crunch!

The car in the rear saw this situation and quickly stopped, and the people in the car got out of the car one after another, and those archaeologists and their bodyguards were full of men as soon as they got out of the car, and the clothes on their bodies were also soaked with sweat for a while.

"Quicksand, it's quicksand, don't get close, don't get close!"

Quicksand is a phenomenon of soil, which is usually prone to occur in fine-grained, uniform, loose and saturated non-cohesive soils.

In Lop Nur, a desertified wasteland, quicksand is common, which is why the convoys are more than 10 meters apart.

Lin Fei and Xu Ying also got out of the car, facing the natural disaster that the entire front of the car had been swallowed by quicksand and the continuous sinking around the car, even Lin Fei could not do anything, this situation was very dangerous for him, if half of his body was swallowed by quicksand, it would be difficult for him to get out of danger.

"Measure the data and see if this quicksand phenomenon is partial or large-scale!"

Lin Fei hurriedly instructed, the former did not have much impact, but if the latter, they had to change to a more unfamiliar route, although this road had been unattended for a long time, but at least more than twenty years ago, Bai Jingting and they had walked it.

At this time, the sun is gradually setting in the sky, indicating that the day is about to pass again, and the measurement is not something that can be done in an hour or two.

"The rest of the people, put the car in a circle, set up camp in the circle, and spend the night here tonight!"

Lin Fei just told him that this kind of trivial matter didn't need to be done by himself at all, not to mention, if it weren't for this group of burdens assigned from above, these troublesome things in front of him would not have appeared.

Soon, except for Lin Fei and Xu Ying, everyone moved, even Zheng Haiyang and Shi Ningxiang, in order to show favor to Lin Fei, they also took the initiative to help.

When the camp was almost set up, it was getting dark, and the surveyors who had gone out came back safely, and the results showed that there were nearly ten quicksand areas nearby, as long as they avoided these ten areas.

The night in Lop Nur is like the night in the desert, the night here is very cold, except for Lin Fei, Xu Ying and Zheng Haiyang, the rest of the people sit around the bonfire in groups to chat, sing, dance in this way, pay tribute to the lost companions......

And Lin Fei and the others were cultivating and adjusting their best state.

In the midst of joy and sorrow, the silent night crept away, and the next morning, the round and red sun, slowly rising from the endless horizon, and the sunrise in the moor, was a beauty that could not be described in words.

It's just that under the beauty, there is a hidden killing machine that takes people's lives. As the sun rises, the temperature rises rapidly throughout Lop Nur.

"Ah......h

A cry woke everyone from their sleep, followed by a cry: "Someone, dead, dead in the camp!" ”

Lin Fei, who opened his eyes when he heard the sound, got up with a grunt, followed the sound, and the place where he screamed was in the fifth camp next to him

"Ahh No! No! Damn it! Oh my! How so!"

In the blue tent, there were cries of horror one after another, as if something unbelievable had happened, but everyone screamed in surprise, without exception, dead!

Lin Fei frowned, feeling a little uneasy, he didn't have a gap at all last night that anyone left the camp, and no one sneaked into the camp, but how did the person die?
