Chapter 139: Snooping
"Squad Leader Yang, are there any dangerous creatures like beasts here?" Gao Jian asked.
"It's rare, but it's more powerful." Yang Zhigang said.
"What's in general?"
"Wolves, scorpions, and some beasts like bears and leopards." Yang Zhigang said.
"Do you think it's going to be a blizzard this weather?"
"Ninety percent sure." Yang Zhigang said.
"Then hurry and go to the camp at the point." High school building clapper.
The three of them increased their speed slightly, and the warrior military vehicle pressed out a road behind the three of them, the special transport vehicle was sandwiched in the middle, and the two warriors behind followed along the pressed road, in an orderly manner, and the escorts on both sides wore dark windproof goggles and followed, constantly observing the situation next to them.
The residual radiation in the surrounding environment is not high, far less than the edge area of the nuclear explosion during the great change, and it is thought that it has long since dissipated under the washing of rain and snow.
"It's too calm, it's a little abnormal." Chu Xiang said suddenly.
"How?" Gao Jian asked.
"Lao Yang, was Lop Nur a dead state before? I mean that there are no living things alive at all. Chu Xiang said.
"No, only places where nuclear tests are conducted regularly are death, and there is still some distance from there." Yang Zhigang said.
"How far?" Chu Xiang asked.
"About 50 kilometers, about 10 kilometers away from our inspection point." Yang Zhigang said.
"Downwind, no." Chu Xiang frowned, and said to Gao Jian: "Give me the gun." ”
Gao Jian hesitated and handed the rifle to Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang took the rifle and turned on the walkie-talkie: "Attention teams, increase vigilance." He stopped, listened for a few seconds, raised his gun and aimed somewhere on the right, and fired two shots in succession.
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the wind and snow, and everyone's expressions changed, understanding that something was happening, and they concentrated on their surroundings and were ready to fight at any time.
Throwing the rifle back to Gao Gaojian, Chu Xiang turned off the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice: "Someone is snooping, pay attention to vigilance." ”
The man was well hidden, not revealing any flaws, and after Chu Xiang fired two shots, the other party's aura fluctuated, looming in the silent snow, so that Chu Xiang was sure that someone was snooping. Gao Gao Jian frowned, this kind of thing happened just after he arrived, it was unusual, Yang Zhigang's expression was a little solemn, and he didn't seem to know.
The situation is a bit troublesome, the situation here is only familiar to Yang Zhigang, and there is a chance that the others will not come back if they go to track that person, and if Yang Zhigang goes, no one can lead the expedition team to the predetermined location.
"The enemy is dark and I am clear, what good countermeasures do you have?" Gao Jian Dao, holding a gun in both hands, the muzzle of the gun slightly raised.
"The other party is snooping like this, obviously he can't figure out our situation, he shouldn't dare to come to the offense in a short time, let's go to the camp first?" Yang Zhigang said.
"That's all it can be." Chu Xiangdao.
The expedition team walked forward on the snow, and under the guidance of Yang Zhigang, they bypassed the dangerous terrain and avoided the snow hills, and did not encounter any danger along the way. After the snooping incident, Chu Xiang went back and forth to investigate the snooper's whereabouts, but until he arrived at the predetermined place, he didn't find the snooper's whereabouts, and he didn't know whether he gave up or what.
Not long after dark, everyone arrived at the intended location, and there were no accidents, and it went smoothly.
The camp that Yang Zhigang chose was on a high ground, and not far from it was the target this time, an ancient city that had been severely eroded by wind and sand, with only some broken eaves left, barely recognizable under the cover of heavy snow.
Chu Xiang checked the ground, the ground frozen by ice and snow was very solid, and there was no quicksand swamp below, so he called the escort team to get out of the car and set up camp through the walkie-talkie.
Under the command of Yang Zhigang, everyone worked together to dig a pit more than one meter deep in the ground, erected a cowhide tent in the pit, nailed it into the ground with a steel drill, turned on the lighting, laid the floor mat, and moved all the things for food, clothing and housing to the tent.
When everyone set up the tent, the high school was not idle, and arranged for people to set up a cordon around it, Yang Zhigang dug a hole in the ground by himself, and did not plan to sleep in the big tent with everyone.
After the tent is erected, only the ground is less than two meters high, and half of it is underground, so that it can prevent it from being blown away when the snowstorm comes, and it can also prevent the tent from being flooded by snow to a certain extent.
The tents were completed, and the six cars were parked and connected with locks to prevent the vehicles from being blown away by the strong winds. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when everything was done, and the high school construction arranged for the guarded manpower, and everyone entered the tent, ate something, and discussed plans for tomorrow.
Chu Xiang was not familiar with scientific research things, so he sat next to him and listened carefully to Tao Gongchi, Gao Gaojian and Yang Zhigang talking about the arrangement, what Chu Xiang didn't expect was that Yang Zhigang was also an expert in this area, and most of the plans were discussed and decided by him and Tao Gongchi.
After making a rough plan, the people who had been tired from a long day of running around got into their sleeping bags and quickly fell asleep.
The high school was built in four directions and arranged four soldiers to be on guard, and one more person was left on duty in the tent to receive regular reports from the four people outside, and at the same time to take care of the fire and electricity in the tent.
Chu Xiang arranged for Luo Feng and Zhao Bing to take turns on duty in the tent, and said to Yang Zhigang: "Old Yang, you have been freezing in the ice and snow for a few days, so you can rest well tonight." ”
Knowing that Chu Xiang's strength was unfathomable and experienced, he could rest assured that he was on duty, Yang Zhigang did not insist, nodded and got into the sleeping bag.
The wind was much stronger at night, and the snow was falling, and Chu Xiang called four soldiers on duty every once in a while, and the four soldiers lying in the snow pit connected and returned to normal.
Chu walked around, found nothing abnormal, returned to the roof of the transport vehicle, sat cross-legged, and carefully sensed this world.
In the second half of the night, the other four fighters arranged by the high school construction came out to change shifts, and the attendants in the tent also completed their rotation, and after a call to confirm the situation, the silence of the dark Lop Nur returned, only the whistling sound of wind and snow.
The sky was beautiful, and after dawn the heavy snow slowly stopped, and the gray sky overhead revealed a hint of blue, and the earth became more and more dazzling under the small amount of sunlight shining through the radiation layer.
The happy mood didn't last long, and a group of black spots appeared in Chu Xiang's sight in the distance, and they were approaching along the road where everyone came: "Everyone pay attention, there are wolves approaching at two o'clock, one team and two teams go out to defend against the enemy, three teams and four teams protect the tent, and everyone in the archaeological team stays in the tent and does not come out." ”
When the enemy situation appeared, everyone in the escort immediately rushed out of the tent, and at the same time, Gao Jian also ordered: "The first squad is suppressed on both sides, and the second squad is on the roof of the car." ”
Everyone rushed out of the tent, set up a firepower point, and looked at the wolves in front of them, Chu Xiang shouted: "The meat delivered to the door, don't let them run away." ”
Everyone lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, coupled with the strong firepower of a group of people from the high school building, hundreds of wolves didn't pay attention to it at all, and seeing that Chu Xiang said it interestingly, some people laughed.
The two squads did not fire rashly, and only after the wolves had reached a distance of fifty meters did they knock over the hungry wolves with accurate point shots. Deliberately showing the ability of the army, a group of hungry wolves could not get close to the people of the escort, they were killed by twelve soldiers one by one, and became black spots on the snow, and not a single bullet was wasted.
"Four teams on guard, one, two, three, go and carry the meat back." Chu Xiang shouted into the walkie-talkie.
Eighteen people ran over with knives, and under the accurate marksmanship, none of the wolves survived, and everyone grabbed the wolf's tail, and each dragged several wolves back.
"One team and two teams patrol the perimeter, and three teams and four teams handle meat and prepare breakfast." Chu Xiangdao.
The people were ordered to go.
The high school built a tacit understanding to fill the vacancy in Chu Xiang's arrangement: "The first class is on standby, and the second class is on guard on the spot to cover teammates." ”
Yang Zhigang is a seasoned hunter, under his guidance, everyone methodically decomposes the wolf corpse, digs pits and buries all the fur and internal organs that have been peeled off, and sets up a cauldron in the tent to cook wolf meat.
While everyone was preparing breakfast, the members of the scientific research team also took out various equipment with the help of the soldiers of the second class, loaded them on two warriors, and prepared to transport them to the excavation site.
After breakfast, a team was left to stand guard on the side of the tent, and the high school was built on the next mountain bag to set up a fire point, just enough to bring the camp and the excavation point into the shooting range, and everyone drove a transport truck with a large device and two warriors to the excavation point.
Yang Zhigang led the way in front, the vehicle pressed a road suitable for walking in the snow, and everyone escorted the ten members of the scientific research team to slowly come to the unrecognizable ancient city.
The second and third teams scattered to investigate the ruins of the ancient city, determined that there was no threat, and carried out a guard at a high place, and the fourth team entered the ancient city with the scientific research team.
The ancient city is not big, most of it has been covered by wind and sand, only a few ruins and broken walls are left to expose the ground, Tao Gongchi and He Rong, Hu Fuming two old men carefully studied it, drew an accurate appearance map, and set the excavation site.
The ice and snow were frozen, and a few members of the scientific expedition team could not dig up the hard ground at all, so Chu Xiang called the fourth team to dig for a while, and after a few people warmed up, he called the second and third teams to dig in turn, so that everyone's bodies could be warmed up, so as not to shrink their necks by blowing cold wind.
After digging out the frozen soil and ice on the surface, Tao Gongchi immediately stopped the guards from continuing to excavate, picked up a hoe, and several powerful archaeologists took matters into their own hands to carefully remove the layers of soil.
