Chapter 33: Bai Xinxin and Zhang Hui disappeared together

I looked at the pistol closely, and it had a square barrel, a thick grip, a large trigger guard, and a protruding back of the head.

This is the *****, in the 80s of the last century, which used to be the policeman's gun, which was later replaced by the 92 type. That is, this pistol should have been made 30 years ago, so, in what year was it buried in Lop Nur?

Although I am in the army, I am a technical soldier, but after all, I have touched the gun, I unloaded the **, and found that the support spring was already very insensitive, and there were 7 bullets in it, and the bullet casing had been oxidized.

Can it still be fired?

I do not know.

I put it in my pocket and returned to the camp.

Everyone was still asleep, and the eyes were still lying under the RV looking at me.

It seems like more than one pair of eyes are looking at me. I looked up and was shocked - there was a face in the window of the RV that was also looking at me, it was the kid, he wasn't sleeping!

I stopped and stared at him.

He slid slowly down and was gone.

I didn't bother to think about him, put the metal detector and sapper shovel on the car, gently opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat. Pulp fell asleep in the back seat.

I closed my eyes and recuperated.

Pistol......

Four-Eyed ......

Nur......

Malfunction......

Get lost......

Suddenly, I opened my eyes.

I remembered that the kid was talking about "Death Hole"!

He said his family lived in the Dead Den!

I've walked so far that I can only think of what he is saying if I change to a dialect mode of thinking!

I just can't tell where his pronunciation belongs to the dialect.

Dead Hole?

Where is the dead end?

When everyone woke up, I didn't say anything about the pistol.

Here, the instrument is still not working, and we have to keep moving forward before it gets dark.

So, the convoy hit the road again.

I looked back in the mirror, and everyone started one after another, and I felt a little sad in my heart - it looked like the convoy was in a huge way, and it seemed that it was running towards some purpose, but in fact, we were like a swarm of headless flies, with no purpose at all, just scurrying around in this ecstasy......

The numbers on the odometer are changing, and the navigator is always black.

I said, "Juice, you give me my water." ”

She took a bottle of water out of the compartment of the car door, opened it, and handed it to me.

I finished my drink and handed it to her, who put it back on the storage compartment.

I said, "Why don't you drink water all the time?" ”

She didn't look at me and said, "I'm not thirsty." ”

I said, "If you don't drink enough water, you'll soon be overwhelmed!" ”

She said, "Don't worry about it, it's like my dad!" ”

We stopped before dark, and the place was much the same as the place where we had set up camp before, but it was not the same place.

Everyone got out of the car, and everyone looked extremely tired.

Set up a tent and bury a pot and a stove......

After dinner, I moved the radio station to the tent and continued to tinker. It is the only hope left.

Pulp sat next to me, her eyes full of anticipation.

The night sky is deep and the radio waves are invisible.

I tried calling over and over again, but no one answered, only noise: "Squeak, squeak...... Woo...... Wow...... Woo...... Squeak squeak...... Da Da ......"

It was said that if you put a metal detector on the radio, the signal would become very strong, but I didn't know how to answer it, so I didn't dare to try it, in case I messed up, the radio would crash, and my last hope would be lost.

I stopped calling and listened carefully for fear of missing a useful signal.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the radio, which seemed to be the wind: "Whew-huh-huh-"

I was scared all of a sudden, who knows what plane it would receive the sound from!

Sure enough, a voice sounded in the wind, intermittent and very distant: "Call...... Call...... We...... The National Army reorganized cavalry...... Second Brigade ...... Five-in-a-row...... Disoriented...... Died a lot ......"

Juice and I froze.

Then, the voice was drowned out by the wind, and we waited for more than half an hour, and never appeared again.

At this time, it happened that Bubu came.

I told her about the distress signal I had just received.

I said, "Bubu, do you know how many Kuomintang stragglers fled to Lop Nur back then?" ”

Bubu said, "Nobody knows. ”

I said, "If possible, we should go and save them." ”

Bubu said: "I will not participate, I am a member of the Communist Party. ”

I looked at her dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Bubu said, "Besides, we don't know where we are, let alone where they are, just like two blind people groping in a labyrinth, how do you find them?" ”

She has a point.

I can only wait to report the situation to the relevant departments after I go out.

I suddenly remembered something: "Bubu, what are you doing here?" ”

Bubu said, "I'll see if Bai Xinxin is here." ”

I said, "What are you looking for him?" ”

Bubu said, "Yiwu wants to get some clothes for that kid, and her suitcase is in the RV." ”

I said, "He's not in the RV?" ”

Bub said, "I knocked, but there was no one. ”

I'm a little nervous, the black light is blind, the desert is vast, where can he go?

I walked out and looked at the tents, but sure enough, I didn't see Bai Xinxin, and what was even more strange was that Zhang Hui was gone.

I picked up the flashlight and pressed it, it didn't light up, I thought it was out of power, I took a new battery, replaced the old battery, and it still didn't light up. I had an idea and turned the positive and negative poles of the battery upside down, and the flashlight lit up.

I'm not afraid, because it's more of a matter of science.

I took a flashlight and ran to the makeshift toilet in the distance to take a look, but there was no one.

Something is going to happen.

I went back to the camp and called everyone out, saying, "Bai Xinxin and Zhang Hui are gone!" ”

Everyone was confused.

I asked Yiwu, "How long has Zhang Hui been away?" ”

"I haven't seen him for almost half an hour, I thought he was in another tent," Yi Wu said. ”

I said, "Wei Zao, Xu Erge, the three of us will go and find it!" ”

The two of them immediately went back and got flashlights. Their flashlights didn't come on, and I taught them to wear batteries backwards, and they all lit up.

We centered on the camp and expanded the search area in circles, shouting loudly as we searched. Lop Nur is endless, but we are like walking in a small dark box. I never heard a response.

There was no doubt that the two men were far away from the camp, otherwise they would have been able to hear.

We went back to camp and I sat on the sand.

In addition to Pawan, Pulp, Bubu, Meng Xiaoshuai, and Yiwu led Nao'er, all came over.

I said sadly: "Bai Xinxin is more than lucky. ”

Bubu asked in horror, "Why do you say that?" ”

I said, "I gave the knife to Zhang Hui......"

Bubu said, "You mean, he wants to kill Bai Xinxin? Why? ”

I said, "I always suspected that he was a fugitive, but slowly I started to trust him again." It seems that I was blinded by him. ”

Bubu said, "What then? ”

I said, "We can't do anything but wait." ”

Bubu said: "If he kills Bai Xinxin, will he come back?" ”

I said, "Perhaps, Bai Xinxin is just the first person he will target, he will definitely come back, and he will definitely make up a lie...... Bubu, you bring that knife and give it to Wei Zao. ”

Bubu said, "Good! ”

She ran to the car, took the knife, and stuffed it into Wei Zao's hand. Wei Zao put it in his pocket.

Then I said, "Xurgo, go get the rope." ”

Xu Ergo didn't ask why, and immediately ran to look for it.

I said, "We can't sleep until we see Zhang Hui." If we don't see anyone with him, we'll leave at dawn, and we won't let him find our camp. ”

Everyone stopped talking.

Minutes and seconds passed.

About half an hour later, there was rustling footsteps in the distance.

All the flashlights shone through, and Zhang Hui walked back from the dark desert alone.
