"However, according to the information, that is, Will Jones's diary, the place where they were killed at that time should still be within the range of Lop Nur, but it is relatively close to the edge of Taklamakan ......"

I watched Hu Yunting come in, and I kept staring at him: "Didn't you say that you were just a team doctor?" Why bother asking about these things? ”

Before Hu Yunting could answer, Jin Yuxiang spoke: "The doctor with the team is true, but which doctor with the team has an income of one million a month of work?" I chose Dr. Hu as the team doctor, and the most important thing is that I took a fancy to this golden signboard of Yunmen. ”

"You know Cloud Gate too?" I was a little surprised.

Jin Yuxiang smiled: "Cloud Gate sounds very strange to ordinary people, but in our industry and level, it is like thunder...... Of course, I also know that you are also a disciple of Yunmen, but you belong to the same line as Xiangyun...... That's one of the reasons why I've been asking you to join my team......"

I didn't speak, I just listened silently.

"Okay, now let's discuss, where is this Soul Burial Sea located?" Jin Yuxiang said, "Mr. Pei, what do you say? ”

"What's Dr. Hu's opinion?" I pushed the problem to Hu Yunting.

"I think it's still in Lop Nur, as you can tell from Will Jones' diary! Moreover, in 1963, the location where the expedition disappeared was also in Lop Nur. If the Sea of Buried Souls refers to the Taklamakan Soul Sea, isn't the scope to be found a little too big? Hu Yunting said.

Jin Yuxiang listened to Hu Yunting's words and nodded, and felt that it was very reasonable. Then he asked my opinion: "Mr. Pei, what do you think?" ”

"I think...... What Dr. Hu said has a certain amount of truth, but if you want to determine the location of the Burial Soul Sea, it may still be in the last sentence. "I made my point of view.

"Can't get in and out? Is there anything worth looking into about this statement? Jin Yuxiang and Hu Yunting were a little puzzled.

"It's really a common phrase, and at first glance it doesn't seem to have much meaning, but do you know what 'Taklamakan' means in Uyghur?" I asked the two.

Hu Yunting said: "It means that you can't get in and out...... He suddenly came to his senses: "Could it be that 'once you enter it, you can't get out' refers to the Taklamakan Desert?" ”

I nodded and said, "That's what it means, if you read between the lines, eighty percent of that Soul Burial Sea is in the Taklamakan Desert, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Jin Yuxiang hurriedly asked me.

"It's just why do we want to study the Sea of Buried Souls? Let's speculate that the bronze jade slanting furnace is on the conjuring ship, so as long as we find that ship, won't we be able to find the incense burner? Why bother to bother to bury the sea of souls? I said.

Jin Yuxiang nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right!" ”

I continued: "Although the Sea of Souls is in the Taklamakan Desert, the Soul Ship did appear in Lop Nur, and we have ample evidence for this. I think the next step is to go directly to the place where the conjuring ship appeared, and then search there, and we will always find some clues......"

So we set out the camp the next day and headed west along the route recorded by Will Jones.

Back in the tent, I told Tanzi and Xu Yunshu about the cooperation with Jin Yuxiang, and they also knew the current situation, if we don't cooperate, we can't do without Lop Nur at all, and there is only this way to go now.

The next day, the entire expedition set off early and continued westward.

Compared with Jin Yuxiang's expedition team, the team composed of several of us in the altar can be said to be a small thing. Before the four of us joined, there were eighteen of them and eleven dirt bikes. Whether it is equipment, fuel, drinking water, food and other supplies, they are all extremely well prepared, even if we really encounter the situation that we have before - one or two cars are destroyed, there is no problem, and it will not be as difficult to survive as we are.

After continuing westward for more than a hundred kilometres, we stopped as the sun was setting, found a suitable camp, and began to set up our tents.

The approximate location where we are now is the junction of Lop Nur and the Taklamakan Desert, and even the land here is no longer only the thick salt crust or coarse gravel of Lop Nur, but also some fine sand, which is the sand in the Taklamakan Desert, which is brought by the wind.

After dinner in the evening, everyone chatted for a while and then went to the tent to rest. After a day of driving, everyone felt tired from the long hours of intense sunlight, and they had to go early tomorrow to search for the traces of the wooden boat in the photo, so they all slept early.

That night, while I was asleep, I heard a scream, followed by a commotion. I hurriedly unpacked my sleeping bag and rushed out of the tent, where I saw that there were already a number of people standing outside, especially the bodyguards with assault rifles in their hands.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened? At this time, Jin Yuxiang also rushed out of the tent, and before the people arrived, the hurried voice had already arrived.

A bodyguard immediately rushed to his side and said to him: "Just now we were all resting in the tent, and suddenly we heard a scream, and then we hurriedly got up and turned on the flashlight, and found ......"

"Found what?" Jin Yuxiang asked.

"I found that Zhou Xiaotao was missing, and the tent was also broken with a big hole!" Bodyguard Huo Ming said. Zhou Xiaotao is a bodyguard, and he lives in the same tent as Huo Ming and two other bodyguards.

"Don't look for it yet!" Jin Yuxiang gave an order, and everyone split up to look for each group, each group of four people, and each group had at least one bodyguard with a gun.

"There's blood here!" That Huo Ming suddenly shouted loudly over there.

Everyone rushed over at once, and saw that there was indeed a pool of blood on the ground. The pool of blood hadn't dried yet, and it was evident that it had just been sprinkled here.

"Follow the bloodstains to find it!" Jin Yuxiang instructed the bodyguards to look for them, while the rest stayed in the camp.

We went to the tent where the accident happened for a long time and found that nothing in the tent had been damaged except for the hole.

"We only found three sleeping bags in the tent." An instrument administrator said that I remember that when Hu Yunting introduced him before, his name was Ji Shanchuan, and the other instrument manager was called Dai Shuiyuan.

"It seems that the sleeping bag is missing with Zhou Xiaotao!" Hu Yunting analyzed, "Judging from the scene, it should be some kind of beast attacking the camp, and those blood stains indicate that Zhou Xiaotao has been injured, or even ...... There is less bad luck. ”

"What kind of beast could it be?" Jin Yuxiang asked.

"Wolves!" The altar was the first to reply, "It must be a wolf, we have encountered it before!" ”
