Chapter 192: Gas Bomb (1)
"That's not a good way - there are only a few routes to escape from the base, and now they are collapsing and blocked, and if you go wrong, there is no place to die." The general cautiously put forward his opinion.
"There is no second way, the Gu worm is fierce, and it must be decided immediately. So, you tell me the exact location of the gas bomb, and I'm alone—"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you can't do such a task alone." Before I could finish speaking, the general vetoed my proposal.
The plane continued to rise, but I had already taken advantage of the situation and used my strength to gradually straighten the nose of the plane.
It is true that I alone could not complete the task of destroying Gu worms with poison gas bombs, this is a 100% truth, and there is no doubt about it.
"We must have come up with a better way, gas bombs...... The gas bombs are too powerful and stored for too long, once they explode during handling...... Think of Black Sun 731 and you know what we're up against......" the general muttered.
"We've already died once." I say.
If it hadn't been for the accidental collision, the Gu worm pulled the runaway glider back up, and now we would have become a fire and a pile of wreckage in the parking lot of the Mogao Grottoes.
Our two lives were picked up by accident, and one more minute of life will earn one more minute.
"Just because we died once, we should cherish life even more." The general slapped my chair, unyielding.
I have no right to ask the other party to compromise, and even if she loves me so much, she is not obligated to risk her life to accompany me back to the base.
Suddenly, there was a terrible "creaking" sound from the right wing of the plane, and I vigorously held the joystick, and the plane was still constantly tilting to the right.
I looked to the right side of the shield and couldn't help but cry out.
A swarthy crack appeared where the right wing of the plane joined the fuselage, about a foot long and half an inch wide.
That was the inevitable consequence of the wing's long overrun and heavy weight, and the only good thing was that the crack appeared on the rear side of the wing, not on the windward side of the front side. Otherwise, the overweight and windy wind can tear the right wing off in an instant, turning this fragile glider into a one-winged bird.
"Let's fly back to the base and evacuate, close the passage, and leave it to its own devices, okay?" The general came up with a compromise.
We were no longer negotiable, so I hesitated for a moment and immediately nodded, "Okay." ”
The top priority is to drive the glider carrying the worm into the middle of nowhere, avoiding the busy streets, especially the famous attractions like the Mogao Grottoes.
If it is not handled properly, this machine Gu worm can destroy the entire Mogao Grottoes. In that way, I would become a national sinner who destroyed China's treasures.
I pushed the joystick forward, and the plane shuddered and turned right, like a bad old man who was struggling to move forward.
"Hold on, God willing, hold on." I prayed silently from the bottom of my heart.
When I turned my head to look at the Mogao Grottoes, I suddenly saw a treacherous scene - "The Mogao Grottoes are been, in, turning, and turning!" ”
I could hardly find a suitable sentence to describe the Mogao Grottoes under the fuselage, and I could only use the word "turn around".
In the eyes of the world, the Mogao Grottoes are carved on the cliff façade of Mingsha Mountain, like a tall giant. This giant has stood still for thousands of years, firmly rooted in the desert.
In other words, it is a dead giant, lifeless, only a huge form, for tourists to visit, archaeologists to explore, literary historians to praise, calligraphers and painters to trace.
At any time, it and the murals, Buddha statues, stone walls, and corridors in the cave have no vitality, nor do they have the ability to move at will.
Now, I just saw that the huge Mogao Grottoes were rotating, like the revolving door at the entrance of the hotel, around an invisible central axis, turning 180 degrees, the front becoming backward, and the back becoming the front.
"Look below, look below, look below......" I shouted three times in a row, and I was so poor that I couldn't describe the strange situation I saw in my eyes to the general.
"Below? What to see? The general turned his head and looked under the fuselage.
"Mogao Grottoes...... Is the Mogao Grottoes in ...... Turn around! This sentence was so awkward, unreasonable, and incomprehensible that I paused twice before I could say a complete sentence.
The general really couldn't understand, looked down for a few seconds, and responded vaguely with one word: "Huh? ”
"Mogao Grottoes turned around, facing inward, with his back facing outward, it's really strange, it's a group of caves carved out of the cliff, how can it be integrated and turned around at the same time, like a Rubik's Cube?" I didn't have time to explain in detail, my mind was filled with the shocking scene.
In my opinion, I rarely encounter something that cannot be explained or explored. Today, in the 21st century, with the Internet, Baidu and Google, and the powerful and omnipotent dark web, it can be said that human understanding of the world has reached an unprecedented height, and even those unsolvable mysteries that are submerged in the ocean of time and space caves are gradually being dissected by people to reveal the final truth.
Cosmic aliens, ocean devil delta, Russian super geocentric mine ...... Almost all the puzzles have found the right answers, and the world is no longer confused.
So, what exactly am I seeing now? Is there any kind of mystery that can match it?
I searched my memory, but I couldn't find even a close approximation of the puzzle event.
In fact, Mogao Grottoes has not moved since turning around. So, when the general looked down according to my prompt, he saw that it was a Mogao Grottoes that had completed the rotation and tightly integrated with the cliffs of Mingsha Mountain.
Only I know that it has silently rotated one hundred and eighty degrees in an unbelievable situation.
"The people of Zuo Fengshou are all dead." That's what comes to my mind next.
The men stood behind the railings, cowering, waiting for the chaos to end. They rely on the left harvest, and once the group of dragons is leaderless, they become ants on a hot pot and fidget.
Obviously, as soon as the Mogao Grottoes turned around, these people were unsuspected, and they were turned into the mountain crevices, if there were mountain crevices. They will even be sandwiched between the Mogao Grottoes and Mingsha Mountain, and turned into powder.
"Mogao Grottoes turned around" once appeared in the mouth of the tour guide, at that time, I thought it was just folklore, pure nonsense.
Gu Tingcheng was also present when the tour guide mentioned the matter, but she, like me, did not express her agreement with this point of view.
The only thing that is worth being strange is the solemn expression of the tour guide at that time.
In most of the scenic spots in Dunhuang and even in the western part of the tour, some tour guides will use some non-existent legends to trick tourists into buying relevant souvenirs or going to some dilapidated ruins as paid tours.
I admit that when I first heard the tour guide say "Mogao Grottoes turned around", I thought he was deliberately exaggerating in order to defraud tourists on Hong Kong Island.
Now, I can clearly see that the Mogao Grottoes have turned around.
"Mr. Long, I don't understand what you're saying?" The general whispered in confusion.
"I swear, I just saw the Mogao Grottoes turn around, and if we go down now, we will see the wonder of the world - the cave is gone, replaced by an empty stone wall." I replied.
"Stone wall?" The general asked.
In fact, this is just my speculation, the Mogao Grottoes are regarded as a single-sided carved jade, jade plate, jade pillar and the like, there are caves, murals, Buddha statues on one side is the front, the brilliance is gorgeous, the bearing is thousands, it is equivalent to showing the world the "table". Then, the back of it, naturally, is the "inside", which is unadorned and maintains the original appearance of the stone wall.
When the "surface and inside" are replaced, tourists go to Mogao Grottoes and see only the primitive and rough stone walls.
But how is that possible? The Mogao Grottoes are fine, just standing there, neither turning around automatically nor disappearing, right? It's dead, it's an immovable mountain, and if you want to turn around, you have to turn around with Mingsha Mountain—"
I interrupted the general and shouted: "Lan Zhou, oar Lan Zhou, she is also there, and she has also been transferred to the back of the Mogao Grottoes......"
Before, when Zuo Fengshou and I left the railing of the Mogao Grottoes to go to the class room of Yanglu Station, the oars were also on the railing and were detained by Zuo Fengshou's men.
If Zuo Fengshou's person died, then it was impossible for the oars to be spared.
I immediately took out my mobile phone and dialed the number of the oar.
The phone can't get through, and the prompt coming from the handset is "The user can't get through".
"The oars are over, Mogao Grottoes turned around, and she also suffered from it." I couldn't help but sigh.
As the big leader, she has the ability to gather the remnants of the Yellow Flower Society and regain a foothold in the rivers and lakes.
If she dies, the Yellow Flower Society will be powerless to turn over.
"Oars? From the 51 district Y department from the Yellow Flower Club big shot? But how is that possible? Her research direction is the 'heart of the desert', and it is said that there has been a major breakthrough that will soon open the prelude to human control of the desert......" the general asked in surprise.
"You should have seen her when you just looked at the railing of the Mogao Grottoes through the sniper rifle sight." I replied.
"Yes, yes, I did observe an extraordinary girl standing next to you. ”
"It's her, now, if she doesn't leave the railing in time, she will be like Zuo Fengshou's people and horses, and she will become a victim of Mogao Grottoes' turn." I replied with a wry smile.
Heaven destroyed the Yellow Flower Society in this way, it is really unbelievable and unheard of.
"We can circle around a little bit more and see what's going on in the Mogao Grottoes." The general proposed.
I had the same thought, but just raised the joystick to the left, and a terrible "creak" sounded from the left wing of the glider.
It doesn't take a closer look to know that there is also a crack between the left wing and the fuselage.
"There's no delay, let's go - grab the parachute, and ...... at any time Always be ready to skydive. "I made a decision right away.
Any treacherous changes that have taken place in the Mogao Grottoes are not as important as the safety of me and the general, and if the plane folds its wings at an altitude of tens of meters, our fate will be terrible.
In the midst of the scorching torment, I flew the plane into the circular valley.
If it weren't for the extensive flight training on Hong Kong Island, I would never have dared to take on the dangerous challenge of flying a glider into the hole in the base.
Thankfully, I was able to break through the first time, and after the plane entered the hole, the front wheels followed the center markings accurately, and finally stopped at the original stand.
"Great, great—let's go, get out of here at once, close the iron gates, and go down the hill from the hole just now." The general breathed a sigh of relief, immediately took off his seat belt, and prepared to open the shield.
What she said, "Let the Gu worms fend for themselves at the base" may work, but that is not a foolproof strategy, but a huge * has been planted for Dunhuang.
Gu worms are the best at killing and devouring each other to produce new variants, and even the original owners cannot predict the characteristics of new variants and control them.
If, as the general said, we leave like this, it is tantamount to cowardly behavior, throwing the greatest burden to future generations.
In other words, although we temporarily eliminated the "Gu Refiner's Spear" and lifted the doom of the Mogao Grottoes, we did not completely eliminate the hidden danger, but pushed the hidden danger to the infinite height of the "Congestion Lake".
Geographically speaking, once the "congested lake" erupts, the torrent rushes and sweeps thousands of miles, and its harm is especially better than ordinary floods.
"Where are the gas bombs stored?" I asked lightly.
"What?" The general asked in shock.
"You know, I can't run away like a coward. If you want to escape, why drive a glider to the Mogao Grottoes? I said.
This may be the only chance to eradicate the Gu worms, although it is not a good opportunity, but it can be gambled after all. If the bet is won, the "Gu Refiner's Spear" will no longer exist, and the disaster of the 36 Gu Miao Villages caused by Zuo Fengshou will be completely eliminated; If I lose the bet, I will die with the worms, lose one of me, and be happy 1.3 billion Chinese.
"Mr. Long, you can't do this, you can't do this...... Let's talk about it well, get the Gu worms to the base, and then get out and leave, you go back to Beijing with me...... You can't be untrustworthy, you can't lie to me, you can't let my life be ......desolate," the general suddenly burst into tears.
