Thinking about it like this, he calmed down, at least he understood Zhou Kesheng's true intention of helping him like this.

After the introduction, Xiao Ling knew that the tall and capable man who slept on the top bunk of Professor Li was also a colleague this time, named Sun Tao, a retired special soldier, proficient in all kinds of firearms and hand-to-hand combat, and his skills were extraordinary.

Sun Tao didn't like to talk, so he only nodded at Xiao Ling, which was regarded as a hello, but his eyes were full of light, and he always maintained a high state of vigilance.

Because of the miserable white hand, Xiao Ling has always been vigilant, but fortunately, there were no accidents along the way.

That afternoon, they arrived at the station and changed to another train.

On this train, Zhou Kesheng introduced three more people to Xiao Ling, all of whom were companions who would go to the Luobu Desert together this time.

These three companions, two men and one woman.

The woman's name is Pang Yan, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with photographic equipment, is the photographer in the accompanying team this time, listen to Zhou Kesheng's introduction, this Pang Yan is quite famous in the photography industry, is a senior member of the photography association, and many photographic works have won awards.

Two men, one named Hu Shengzhe, in his forties, looks dark and thin, looks not amazing, but his identity is extraordinary, he is a geologist.

The other, Wang Weiguo, is in his early fifties, dressed as a gentleman, and is an archaeologist.

They are all characters with great backgrounds.

They were familiar with each other with Zhou Kesheng, Professor Li Zhibao, and Sun Tao, which made Xiao Ling more and more aware that this trip to the Luobu Desert was not simple.

Zhou Kesheng will never be able to gather so many big people just because of his own affairs, but he is afraid that his own affairs are just one of them, and this trip to the Luobu Desert to find Pisces Jade Pendant should have another purpose.

It's just that Xiao Ling at this moment has been involved in it, and he wants to solve the mortal catastrophe he encountered, no matter how suspicious he is, he can only follow this team now.

The day was uneventful, and the next day, the group of seven changed trains again and finally arrived at the final destination, Golmus.

When they arrived in Golmudus, Xiao Ling followed Zhou Kesheng and the six out of the station, and Zhou Kesheng had already contacted two four-wheel drive off-road vehicles to pick them up.

The two drivers didn't say much, and when they were all in the car, they started the off-road vehicle and roared away.

Xiao Ling would send messages to communicate with his parents every day, so as not to worry his family, he didn't dare to say that he went to the Luobu Desert, so he could only make up some lies.

Half a day later, they arrived at the Tunibuk checkpoint, where all the personnel had to get out of the car and have their identity checked.

After passing the checkpoint, I drove along the national highway and began to see desolate wasteland and bare mountains, which gradually became less populated, and there was hardly any greenery to be seen, except for the occasional low bush or two.

Xiao Ling, Zhou Kesheng, and Li Zhibao were in a car, and the driver only drove intently without saying a word.

Xiao Ling felt that this driver was not like an ordinary driver, and his demeanor was like a professionally trained military temperament.

"I remember that I had to turn into a provincial road not far ahead, and when I got to that provincial road, even if I entered the Luobu Desert, this road would run through the center of the Luobu Desert." Zhou Kesheng introduced it to Xiao Ling in a low voice.

Xiao Ling nodded, and when he heard that he was about to enter the legendary Luobu Desert, he was inevitably a little nervous.

For the Luobu Desert, Xiao Ling has also checked some information on the Internet through his mobile phone in the past few days.

The Luobu Desert, known as the "Sea of Death", is located on the northwestern edge of the Taklamakan Desert in the northwestern part of the famous Loulan Kingdom.

Once a saltwater lake, the Rob Desert has long since dried up, leaving only an endless crust of salt crust.

These salt crusts have semi-circular lines of light and dark, which converge in circles towards the center, like "ears of the earth".

It is one of the areas with the harshest natural environment and a well-deserved death zone, which gives the Rob Desert the name of the Sea of Death.

However, it is such a dead zone, but it has an extremely powerful and mysterious attraction, and countless explorers and scientists have been fascinated by it, and even paid for it with their lives.

The unearthing of Loulan's female corpse was even more sensational, of course, the most mysterious event was the Pisces jade pendant incident.

Xiao Ling consulted some information, but it was still like a cloud and a mountain of fog, or no one could tell the truth of this matter.

And Zhou Kesheng and Li Zhibao, who were following him at the moment, were the survivors of the Pisces jade pendant back then.

They should know some truths, but it's a pity that they are tight-lipped, and until now, they haven't revealed anything too much to Xiao Ling.

Through the glass of the car window, Xiao Ling silently looked outside, and the monotonous scenery could easily cause a sense of loneliness.

Xiao Ling's heart at this moment, there was an inexplicable sense of loneliness, he missed his parents and relatives very much, but unfortunately at this moment, he could only sit here honestly, looking at the wind and sand and desolation outside.

After the two off-road vehicles turned into a relatively narrow provincial road, they drove for more than an hour before finally stopping.

It was a very simple temporary rest stop, a row of simple wooden houses, and three identical off-road vehicles were parked outside, and when their cars drove in, several people opened the door and greeted them.

Xiao Ling followed Zhou Kesheng and Li Zhibao and them out of the car, looking at the smiling faces and greetings of several people who greeted them, Xiao Ling understood that they were all acquaintances.

Perhaps everyone but one of them knew each other.

Zhou Kesheng focused on introducing four of them to Xiao Ling.

One is named Zhang Shuang, about thirty years old, and the other is Song Jifu, in his fifties, who looks like he has a smile on his face, which makes Xiao Ling think of the name Smiling Tiger.

One is named Wang Lei, short and thin, in his forties.

The last was a young woman, only twenty-six or seventeen years old, named Yu Tingting.

Listening to Zhou Kesheng's introduction, Xiao Ling understood that these four people would also be their companions in the Luobu Desert to find Pisces Jade Pei this time.

When Zhou Kesheng set off with Xiao Ling, he had already informed these people, and these four people arrived at this temporary rest stop half a day earlier than them.

Although Zhou Kesheng did not specifically introduce the identities and origins of these four people, Xiao Ling already knew that it should not be easy for these four people to be able to walk with them, this is not just a simple expedition or just a simple search for the legendary Pisces Jade Pendant, and it is not just to solve his death.

There should be a deep reason behind this operation, and there is a certain force with great energy behind it, and it may even have an official background.
