Chapter 3: Actually, each of these people has secrets

I texted and asked: Who are you?

The other party replied: I'm Feicheng.

It should be a girl's name.

I asked, "Where are you going with me?"

The other party replied: Western Regions.

I was alert and asked, "How did you know I was going to the Western Regions?" How do you know my phone number?

There is no news from the other party.

I've been writing suspense novels for 15 years, and I don't fear anything easily. I don't know who this Flying Orange is, but I'm sure she learned about my plans from a source that I overlooked.

Regardless of her.

If a few more people know my number, I'll change my number.

After waking up in the morning, I went to the mobile phone store to buy a new number, and then posted a post on a travel website -

I, Boss Zhou, want to drive through Lop Nur and ask for travel companions.

QQ group number: 125867715. Do not disturb the oranges.

I have always used the pen name - Zhou Dedong to write stories. Actually, the name on my ID card is Boss Zhou.

Within a few days, more than 100 people had joined the group. It seems that too many people are interested in that mysterious place. Someone asked me, who is "Flying Orange"? I said that I wrote "Do not disturb if you are not sincere", which was wrong.

In fact, most people are afraid to go. Everyone chatted in the group for nearly a month, and finally finalized 11 people, 6 men and 4 women, to cross Lop Nur together.

I'm in Lancheng, and the others are out of town.

It's not very hot right now, so it's time to go.

After my wife left me, she took her daughter to live in France, and I have been single for many years without worry.

Everyone initially planned to enter Lop Nur on April 20, and that day was the 11th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Saturday, Chonggou (Gengshu) Shanan.

I'm the leader.

I'm a Taurus myself, blood type A, I feel like I'm more like a Virgo, worried, kind, easy-going and fussy, very tangled. I think I should be a responsible man for my family, my team, and even the whole society.

I just finished writing a book called "365 Deadly Dangers Hidden in Your Life", which is a life experience that I have summarized over the years. It can be said that in the book I wrote about all kinds of dangers. In the face of insecurity, this book is like a hard armor. Unfortunately, none of the books are about deserts.

My defenses are also blank for the salty crust.

5 buggies, 1 RV, 11 teammates.

We agreed to meet in Korla (the capital of Bayingolin Autonomous Prefecture, Guyan Qiguo) on the afternoon of April 19, and the location was ** hotel. Five buggies and an RV drove there, others went by plane or train.

Before leaving, I asked Monsoon to print out the list and notes of this team for me and bring it with me. It wasn't until I drove onto the road, drove into the Yongshan Expressway, and refueled at the gas station, that I noticed a strange problem - these people all had black boxes on their names.

Huang Xi: male, 25 years old, from Shandong, 1.82 meters tall, weighing 85 kilograms, once won the national sanda runner-up, working as a physical education teacher. (I don't know what dangers he will encounter in the Northwest, maybe his kung fu will come in handy.) ）

Bai Xinxin: male, 29 years old, from Fujian, doing business in Anhui, 1.80 meters tall and weighing 80 kilograms. (He has an RV with plenty of room for supplies, and in a pinch, his RV can accommodate multiple people.) ）

Extra: male, 25 years old, from Tianjin, height 1.72, weight 65 kg, worked in construction, sold thrift goods, radio amateur. (He had a radio station, which was most needed to cross Lop Nur.) ）

Zhang Hui: male, 25 years old, from Qiqihar in Northeast China, 1.74 meters tall and 69 kg in weight. (Prison guards at Mynan Prison.) ）

Xu Erge: male, 27 years old, from Jiangsu, 1.75 meters tall, 77 kg in weight, radio broadcast. (This man has ridden almost all over the country and has a lot of experience in the wilderness.) The Northwest was a blank in his travel career. ）

Wei Zao: male, 26 years old, from Inner Mongolia, 1.76 meters tall and 75 kg in weight. (He worked as a mechanic in the army car company for 4 years and just retired.) ）

Pulp: female, occupation is a clerk, 24 years old, from Hunan, 1.58 meters tall, weighing 53 kilograms, slightly fat. (Believe in Buddhism, like to study magic, horoscopes, palmistry.) Claims to be psychic. ）

Bubu: female, cadre of the Party History Research Office, 42 years old, from Wuhan, 1.60 meters tall and weighing 59 kilograms. (She has an SUV and is 18 years old.) ）

Meng Xiaoshuai: female, graphic model, 27 years old, from Xi'an, 1.70 meters tall and weighing 52 kilograms. (Her only advantage is that she is pretty, and I've seen photos of her on Weibo.) ）

Yiwu: female, 29 years old, studying for a doctorate, majoring in music aesthetics, from Guizhou, 1.57 meters tall and weighing 45 kilograms.

What do you mean?

Could it be that the gods are warning me that these people are going to die?

If I'm on the list, will I also wear a black box?

Could it be the monsoon? Unlike her character, if she wants to stop it, it must be a gong and a drum in front of her.

I have one of the biggest characteristics of this person: I don't believe in evil.

If I saw a monster in the dark, I would be scared to the core, but I would never run away, I would quickly calm down and approach it slowly until I was sure what it was.

I tore this list up.

There was no turning back from the bow, and sparks and lightning along the way. (Nothing particularly interesting, just rhyme, that's it.) ）

In the 90s of the last century, there was a magazine that was very popular, called "Girlfriend". I used to work there.

The magazine held an event - "Girlfriend" reporters traveled thousands of miles, and old readers should remember. I was one of them, and our group went to Xinjiang and passed through Ruoqiang County.

Ruoqiang County is the largest county in China, with an area equivalent to two inland provinces.

At that time, I didn't know that Lop Nur was located in the northeast of Ruoqiang County, but I only remember that we were driving on the boundless Gobi Desert, and as we walked, the fan on the engine made a "clucking" sound.

Parking is only possible.

On inspection, the screws holding the engine in place were broken, and the engine had been seriously displaced. It's like a person has a heart problem and can't go any further.

The Jeep produced by the American Chrysler company, four-wheel drive, should be no problem with quality. It's just that when they designed, it was impossible to take into account the special road conditions in the great northwest of China.

We were stranded on the vast Gobi Desert and waited for hours before we saw a long-distance bus slowly coming, the dust behind the car was like a tornado, and the roof was loaded with high luggage, which seemed to fall at any moment.

The driver was a Uyghur old man.

Our driver stopped it and went up.

He returned to Ruoqiang County to ask for help.

After a few more hours, it was almost dark, and the driver finally arrived with two rescue vehicles.

It was the weekend, and all units in Ruoqiang County were on holiday, and the driver saw someone repairing a car in a bank compound, so he asked them for help. The car repairer turned out to be a die-hard fan of "Girlfriend" magazine, and he came without saying a word.

They dragged us to Ruoqiang County, but none of the repair shops could fix our cars, and the good people did it to the end, and they dragged us to Korla overnight......

No further ado.

Our 11 teammates were booked in the QQ group, and everyone had to rush to Korla on April 19. Everyone set out from all directions, running towards the same goal. It's puzzling – everyone is a day late.
