Wang Xingguo was still a step late, when he arrived at the camp in the morning, there were only a few campfires left in the camp that had not been completely extinguished, and Dick's team had not been long in coming, Wang Xingguo saw a few ruts driving down the mountain, and he couldn't catch up with Dick with only two legs.

The map shows that there is a small town below the mountain, which is the only human settlement here, and the town is the only place where Dick's expedition needs to be resupplied if he wants to go deeper into the desert.

Wang Xingguo felt that he could find some assistance there, but the distance was a trouble, Wang Xingguo calculated it on the map, even if he didn't stop, it would be good to arrive in the second half of the night.

Dick arrived in the town before noon, and the team members who had been arranged in the town had been ordered to purchase the supplies needed for the expedition, and Dick did not stop for a moment, urging everyone to load the supplies into the car, and the expedition team left the town in the evening.

Wang Xingguo was a step late, he inquired about the situation in the town, and learned that an expedition had come here, they had almost bought everything in the town, and then went to the city of death in the desert.

Dead City? Wang Xingguo felt that this was most likely where Dick was going, and Wang Xingguo didn't understand the local vernacular, and Wang Xingguo probably figured out what was going on in the stumbling exchanges with them.

More than half a month ago, an expedition team came to the town, and they split into two, some going deep into the desert, some going west into the snow-capped mountains, and the locals didn't know what they were going to do. The last time an expedition came here was 20 years ago, and then the expedition that went deep into the desert came back and asked them about a place called Wild Goose Mountain.

The people of the town never knew that there was a place called Wild Goose Mountain, they only knew that there was a place called Death City in the depths of the desert.

It was in the hinterland of the desert, a forbidden area for human beings, and according to legend, there was abundant water and grass in those years, but it was punished for offending the heavens and swallowed by the desert, and with the decline of the Silk Road, no one ever went there again.

The legend of Dead City has been circulating in the town for 2,000 years, and some of the town's residents are descendants of those who escaped from Dead City. It is said that it is on the rocky hills on the edge of Lop Nur, which is guarded by Betelgeuse, and mortals are never allowed to step into it, and there have been brave people who have stepped into the forbidden area and never returned, which makes everyone's fear of the desert more than curiosity. No one has dared to step into the depths of the desert since the disappearance of those who crossed the mountains into the desert 700 years ago, and a few decades ago, Lop Nur was turned into a missile range, let alone explored.

The expedition team that entered the mountains yesterday came back, and brought a few more people, Wang Xingguo understood in an instant that it was Dick and the others, and then they hurriedly loaded the supplies into the car and left in the evening......

Wang Xingguo calculated the time, he was more than ten hours late for Dick, according to what the people in the town said, Dick was not far from the royal tomb.

"Uh...... There was a very beautiful girl who said that if anyone was looking for this expedition, they would give him this thing......" A local man stood up and said when he saw Wang Xingguo inquiring about the expedition in detail.

Wang Xingguo took a cloth bag and opened it to see that it was a hastily drawn map on paper, and Wang Xingguo recognized that it was Xia Ruobing's handwriting.

Xia Ruobing's map is very accurate, and it is also equipped with a scale bar, there is a low mountain range on the map, Xia Ruobing deliberately marked the words Yanluo Mountain, and drew a circle on Yanluo Mountain, writing "Wang Tomb".

"When did she give it to you?" Wang Xingguo asked.

The man gestured to tell Wang Xingguo that the girl had borrowed paper and pen from him at that time, and seemed to be very nervous, and when she hurriedly drew the picture and handed it to herself, someone from the expedition team came to her, as if they had heard that she was the chief adviser of the expedition......

"Ruobing has become Dick's chief advisor?!" This made Wang Xingguo a little puzzled, but no matter what, Xia Ruobing left clues for himself, and Dick's target this time was indeed the royal tomb of Loulan.

There is another question in front of Wang Xingguo, how should he cross this 400-kilometer desert and go to Yanluo Mountain......

"You ...... Is there transportation? Transportation through the desert......" Wang Xingguo asked, gesturing.

"It's not like that...... It's not such a tool...... "Wang Xingguo was a little devastated when he saw the camel and horse in front of him, Wang Xingguo admitted that the camel was the best means of transportation through the desert, but when he crossed 400 kilometers on the four legs of the camel, Dick had already dug up the royal tomb, and he needed a faster tool.

"Cars, buggies! I need that! Wang Xingguo had to explain patiently......

"Yes!" A local who wanted to facilitate the deal shouted.

"This?! Well, it's kind of an off-road vehicle. Wang Xingguo saw the "off-road vehicle" in front of him and felt even more devastated.

"There's no need for this here, there's no need for ...... I can sell it to you...... It's cheap......" The man said happily, as if Wang Xingguo was about to solve a big trouble for him.

"Uh...... But I don't have any money...... Can you pay Alipay here? Wang Xingguo was a little embarrassed.

Online payment is even more distant for people who have not changed here for thousands of years, and Wang Xingguo is a little helpless.

"This ...... I want this ......," the man gestured to the watch on Wang Xingguo's wrist.

This extreme sports watch is the most valuable object on Wang Xingguo's body, Wang Xingguo felt that this guy's vision was really good, he took off the watch and handed it to him: "I also want water, diesel, food, ......"

"Ann Ann Ann Blah...... There will be ......" The guy took the watch and was so happy.

While they were going to prepare supplies for themselves, Wang Xingguo looked at the "off-road vehicle" in front of him again, this tractor was a bit old, I don't know who drove it here, but there was nothing here, camels and horses took on the task of transporting, this tractor was placed here, and it became the most modern thing in the town.

Wang Xingguo checked it, the machine is still complete, but it has not been started for so long, whether it can be started Wang Xingguo still has no bottom, in the spirit of giving it a try, Wang Xingguo picked up the rocking handle......

Wang Xingguo sweated profusely for two hours, but the tractor still failed to start, Wang Xingguo began to regret that the deal was promised too quickly, the locals were very happy to load the tractor cargo bed with food and water, the children happily scrambled for a cowhide bellows to inflate the tires, and the town also carried two large barrels of diesel fuel that were not needed.

"You ...... Is there still ...... Other? Well? Truck? "Wang Xingguo was about to be driven crazy by this tractor.

"The goods have been sold...... No returns......" The man grinned, Wang Xingguo couldn't wait to punch him in the face!

"Okay!" Wang Xingguo had no choice, and continued to pick up the crank in a gloomy manner......

The diesel engine of the "...... Clang" tractor finally gave Wang Xingguo a little face, and it started.

Everyone cheered, this tractor had been brought by an expedition 20 years ago, and they had given it to the town after they left, but no one in the town would drive it, and they thought that the noise of the tractor would disturb the horses and camels, and although it was very fast, it was too uncomfortable to sit on, and now someone finally drove it away......

"Could it be that this is still something left by Mr. Min......" Wang Xingguo was a little speechless.

This four-wheeled tractor looks very funny, it is not comfortable to drive, and the fastest speed is only 50 km / h, but its off-road ability does kill all high-end off-road vehicles, when Mr. Min came in the summer, in the season when the snow mountains melt, even the strongest off-road vehicles in many sections can not pass, have to rely on the tractor to open the road, the off-road vehicle out of the mud......

The quality of this tractor is really good, although 20 years have passed, the tires are a little deflated, but it does not affect it to cross obstacles, under the strong diesel engine torque, the off-road vehicle is easy to fall into the bunker, it can easily climb out.

Although it was noisy, there was no air conditioning, and in the desert sun, even if all the windows were open, the wheelhouse looked like it was on a barbecue, but at least it was much faster than a four-legged camel, and if all went well, this noisy machine would allow Wang Xingguo to get to the place drawn on Xia Ruobing's map in a day or two......

The tractor drove through a yellow sand area, in front of the Gobi, here is much flatter, Wang Xingguo increased the horsepower, 20 years ago left the old object "clang" roaring, the speed increased to 40 km / h, Wang Xingguo except heard the roar of the diesel engine, basically nothing can be heard, the tractor behind the tractor dragged a long yellow smoke, towards the depths of the desert......
