Chapter 13: The Vanishing Pengamu
Everything that happened just now was done in an instant, Jing Qiongshuang and Li Luant couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Wogua's reflex ability, and before Wogua started his performance - he got carried away, and a group of guys who wanted to go to the watermelon field in the back, who couldn't get rid of it, actually stopped unexpectedly.
Well??
Jing Qiongshuang pinched Wogua's chin and smashed his head to the back, Wogua was forced to turn his head, and also saw this strange scene: those people were not found by conscience, but stopped moving with some jealousy in hatred, and the only eyes that were exposed outside shone terrifyingly, staring at the figures of the three people who gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Li Luant's heart suddenly sudden, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Why? How could these people suddenly stop? Wogua yelled that it was because he had destroyed the hub, leaving the group helpless, but was that really the case?
Jing Qiongshuang also sniffed out the unusualness, with a somewhat solemn look on her face, "They seem to be afraid of something." ”
Not bad.
Wo Gua tilted his head, and didn't seem to figure out the situation of the few people now, but his natural optimistic personality still made him quickly reply, "An, this group of turtle grandsons, I think it's a group of paper tigers who are strong outside, if they really force Ben Liangzai, Ben Liangzai makes another big move, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, now we are all out of danger, why bother with it?" ”
There is some truth in this, in any case, the temporary danger is to get rid of it, and there is no reason to continue to be entangled.
The range of candlelight of the miner's lamp is not large, although there is a square inch, but it can not detect the panorama, the danger in the rear has been unloaded, there is no reason to rampage in a strange environment, the rolling car began to "squeak" slowly and leisurely in the darkness, and finally was completely engulfed by the darkness.
"What to do, Chief?"
Those people who stopped outside were silent for a long time, and suddenly a tentative mouth opened, and the language they spoke was like this, if Li Green Ant was still there, they would be shocked, because the language of these people was nothing else, it was the legendary water book that could communicate with the ghosts!!
"The gods in the darkness are beings that we can't easily disturb, and these intruders are looking for their own death." Another one responded.
"If the gods are angry, there will be no eggs under the nest, and if they rush out, our people will suffer, and we will be indirect murderers, should we sit idly by?"
"But those intruders are dead, do you want us to go in and be buried with us? Don't forget, how many of our people are left? Do you want us to die with us? ”
…………
Gossip resounded in the space, and the leader suddenly shouted, "Okay! ”
Instant silence.
They bowed their heads, made a deferential gesture, and quietly listened to the leader's instructions.
"The gods are inviolable, and the lives of the people need to be preserved, and before things get worse, you—" pointed to the most energetic people in the discussion, and you—you—go and bring them back, remember, I will live. ”
The faces of the few people who were targeted flashed with a trace of unnatural fear, but they still stubbornly said, "Follow the leader's orders." ”
The leader looked at the dark and deep cave, and his eyes showed a hint of complexity: this year, the gods have eaten enough, and if they put in more food, the gods will probably be irritable, and at that time, their own people will be affected by the pond fish, which is not a good thing for anyone.
…………
The so-called Lop Nur sandmen, commonly known as "zombies", are extremely productive, women can give birth naturally without blood pressure, and at night they can accurately shoot and kill the soldiers who are under surveillance with the help of a glimmer of light. An elderly sandman is also close to a young soldier's physical strength. Some soldiers stationed in Lop Nur said that the sand people had attacked the local garrison many times, but for some reason, the official never took the initiative to explain to the soldiers why these sand people existed, so the sand people incident was not followed up later.
As early as ten years before the turmoil, probably between 1957 and 1962, something happened in the northwest of China, it is said that at that time Lop Nur discovered the ruins of an ancient city, some young people wanted to go to find some antiquities, and then I don't know what happened there, those young people died, crazy crazy.
It is even rumored that Peng Jiamu's third scientific expedition was to find plants infected with the virus, and the samples Peng took should be specimens of this plant.
Peng Jiamu - In 1979, he served as the vice president of the Xinjiang Academy of Sciences, he went to Xinjiang 15 times to conduct scientific investigations, and entered Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture for three expeditions, and unfortunately disappeared in Lop Nur on June 17, 1980.
The issue of Pengamu's three visits to Lop Nur is no longer a secret. The first time Pengamu was from March 5 to March 30, 1964, he and several scientists circled Lop Nur, collected water samples and mineral samples, and made a preliminary study of the potassium content in the water of the three rivers flowing into Lop Nur at that time (Tarim River, Peacock River, and Cherchen River). But due to the short time, nothing was found, but his dedication touched the people.
But the difference between the second time and the first is more than 10 years. In October 1979, country J proposed to cooperate with country C to shoot a TV film on the Silk Road, and designated it to go to Lop Nur, but CCTV had not yet understood and grasped the route planned by the film crew of country J, so it proposed to conduct a preparatory investigation. The task was accepted by Mu Shunying, then director of the Xinjiang Institute of Archaeology. At that time, the people of country C had not entered the Lop Nur area and the ancient city of Loulan for some years to conduct scientific investigations. Mu Shunying hired Xia Xuncheng as a consultant, and also invited Peng Jiamu, an associate researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry in Xinjiang, to join the expedition.
In order to ensure success, the joint expedition team conducted two exploratory expeditions and a tentative advance expedition in advance, which were completed by Mu Shunying and Peng Jiamu respectively. Pengamu visited Lop Nur on 15 November and 20 December 1979. The inspection with the film crew began on April 1, 1980, and Mu Shunying was the team leader. On this day, arrive at Yumen Pass, and then go west along the Great Wall of Han Dynasty to reach Houkeng. The Houkeng Protection Station of the Dunhuang West Lake National Nature Reserve is located in the Houkeng area, that is, the area of Dunhuang Yadan, from which the joint expedition team entered the "no man's land" of the Luobu Desert.
Here we pause for a moment, and then when Pengamu disappears, a crucial question is raised: Pengamu is a botanist, so why did he take him with him on this expedition? In fact, the answer is very simple, since it is called a joint expedition, it means that it is a comprehensive scientific expedition, Lop Nur is a desert, plants are very expensive, botanists are of course indispensable, and professionals in hydrogeology, geomorphology, soil, animals, chemistry and historical geography participate. This is also an important reason why Pengamu went to Lop Nur for the third time to investigate and bring Shen Guanmian, who is also a botanist. But people spread this story very magically, and it was a very high-spreading sand people incident.
In 1957, someone discovered a large ancient ruins in Lop Nur, and the news spread, and many people went to Lop Nur to make a fortune in search of treasure. In one village, a dozen people went on a treasure hunt together, but only one escaped in the end. He said that when they went, they were normal, but once they got to the monument, they started to become abnormal.
At first, I just talked to myself, but in the end, I was like crazy, and I saw people screaming and biting. So, the man who escaped quickly ran out. Not far away, someone shouted for help, which made him run back desperately. Eventually, those who didn't come back saw something and bit something, and became "sand people".
Later, some scientific researchers went to the historic site to explore and saw a lot of dried corpses, and after verification, they concluded that these were the villagers who went to hunt for treasure before. Their dry food was still there, and there was water in the kettle, but the soles of their shoes were almost smoothed, and the bones of their feet were worn out as if they were unconscious. Researchers examined the dried corpses and found toxins on their bodies and a remnant of plants in their stomachs, possibly because of the poisonous plants.
Many people do not believe that these people were killed by the sandmen in the desert, because many people do not know that the sandmen exist. So some scientists entered Lop Nur to investigate, and sure enough, more than a dozen dried corpses that had lost their skin and flesh were unearthed in the place where the sandstorm occurred. After comparison, these people are the dead villagers. However, their dry food was still intact, and the water bottles were not damaged, and the incident became more and more strange for a while. In their stomachs, scientists also found traces of plant residues, and the dried corpses had the same toxins as these residues. Some speculate that the heat may have activated the sleeping virus that caused the deaths.
This was followed by another legend – plant viruses. Officials claim that the virus does not directly infect humans, and that the reason why there are human infected people is because someone eats the virus plant into their stomachs, and after the appearance of human infected people, the virus is likely to spread by exchanging body fluids, so the danger becomes very high.
It was during the third expedition that Pengamu was infected with the poison of this plant, but he did not lose consciousness after being infected, and he also found the Pisces jade pendant. The Pisces Jade Pendant is a product of an ancient advanced civilization and can replicate anything, even the earth. Because Peng Jiamu found the Pisces Jade Pendant, he was copied by the Pisces Jade Pendant to be another identical him, but everyone hid it, claiming that Peng Jiamu had disappeared in Lop Nur, and so on.
It was also said that the plant's poison could be used to create super-soldiers, which was the reason for the massive search for Pengamu.
The insane men's feet were worn out, so they were unconscious, otherwise they would not have run tirelessly as their feet rotted due to excessive friction. What was even more shocking was that they had brought back some rubbings and fragments of some ancient ornaments, as well as a jade sickle, and that some inadequate investigation into the matter had already begun.
Some of the vehicles and ways of action of those aliens are simply not understandable to humans on Earth, and people who are exposed to radiation sources in conflict will become inanimate living beings. Therefore, in that era, a nuclear explosion was carried out precisely on the area where Lop Nur was often infested with aliens, and these aliens were put an end to these aliens.
Lop Nur is located in the northwest region of our country, which was originally a desolate desert. However, due to the need for atomic bomb experiments and the fact that it was desolate and uninhabited, this place was selected as a nuclear weapons test point. Lop Nur was a forbidden place in the northwest for a long time, and many explorers were unable to get out after entering. It is rumored that these people died horrible deaths, and all of them died at the hands of the Lop Nur sanders.
After Lop Nur was set up as a weapons testing ground, several fighters had entered Lop Nur the day before the bombing to see if there were any people who had not had time to evacuate. At about 7 o'clock that night, the soldiers found dozens of people in the desert. These people seem to be dragging their families and mouths, and they seem to be rushing somewhere. When they approached, the soldiers panicked, these people were not people at all, but sand people made up entirely of sand. After that, these men engaged the warriors, who were extremely combative, but fortunately the warriors retreated in time to avoid serious casualties. After the army entered the scene of the incident, no trace of the sand people was found.
The results achieved by the joint expedition team in Lop Nur are abundant, not only some geographical discoveries, some cultural relics have been harvested, but also the beauty of Loulan has been discovered, and it has reached the ancient city of Loulan, which is the first time that the expedition team of country C has arrived in the ancient city of Loulan.
Peng Jiamu's third entry into Lop Nur was from May 8 to June 17, 1980, and the second time was very close, and Xia Xuncheng assisted him in making a lot of preparations. Before leaving, the Chinese Academy of Sciences sent Xia Xuncheng to participate in a sand control conference held in country M, so Xia Xuncheng was unable to go to Lop Nur this time. At that time, Peng Jiamu was the leader of the scientific expedition to Lop Nur in country C, and collected many biological and soil specimens, collected many mineral fossils, and collected many first-hand scientific research data, making forward-looking preparations for the comprehensive development of Lop Nur in China.
However, this great scientist disappeared, and the state sent more than a dozen planes, dozens of cars, and thousands of people to search for him four times, but there was no trace of the sandbags, sand beams, and sand mountains blown up by the black storm. Peng Jiamu's wife Xia Shufang lived in the Dunhuang headquarters with the team, and his son Peng Hai also went to the scene with the team to help find it. In particular, the last search lasted for 41 days from the time the team entered the Lop Nur area from Dunhuang on November 10 to the withdrawal on December 20. The total search area is 1,011 square kilometers, and 1,029 people directly participated in the search, with an average of nearly 1 square kilometer per person per day. But because Peng Jiamu was not found in the end, he still couldn't quell the rumors in the society.
From April to June 1981, the Xinjiang Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences organized an expedition of more than 20 people to Lop Nur, with Xia Xuncheng as the team leader. The expedition was mainly based on scientific research, but he did not give up the opportunity to find Pengamu. Later, the people spontaneously organized and planned it, but they didn't find Peng Jiamu. Therefore, where Pengamu went is still a mystery, a dead knot, accompanied by all kinds of speculation and rumors.
The legend of the sand people is very mysterious, and the origin of it can be summarized as follows:
One is that the NAZI military said that the credibility is 20%.
As we all know, NAZI's country D has done a lot of black technology and mysterious power research, they once sent an expedition team to Tibet to explore, and learned that there is a cave called "Shambala", where there is a hidden "earth axis" containing infinite energy, whoever can find it, can get the protection of a mysterious biological field, can control time at will. This "Shamballa Cave" is known as the "Ear of the Earth" and the "Sea of Death" of Lop Nur. So the NAZI soldiers went deep into Lop Nur in Xinjiang to investigate, and as a result, they were infected with a mysterious virus, some died of violent illness, and some became walking zombies, that is, the legendary sand people.
The second is that the KMT army said that the credibility is 30%.
This version is similar to the NAZI giant, the main body has become the KMT army. It is said that after the liberation of Qinghai, the KMT army under the warlord Ma Bufang entrenched in Qinghai was scattered, and a group of remnants of the army were defeated and fled into Xinjiang.
The third is the ancient theory of dry corpse infection, with a credibility of 10%.
It is said that there were human tribes living in Lop Nur in ancient times, and all of these people died due to the outbreak of the virus, but due to the geographical characteristics of Lop Nur, these humans did not completely decay after death, but became dried corpses, and the virus in their bodies also entered a dormant period.
Fourth, the horse gang bandits said that the credibility is 40%.
This version is similar to what the remnants of the KMT army say. Legend has it that the remnants of the warlord Ma Bufang fled to the inaccessible city of Lop Nur, where they overcame harsh conditions and adapted to the harsh environment, where they thrived and survived by looting in the desert of Xinjiang. Lop Nur's unique natural environment and harsh conditions have allowed them to develop unique physical fitness and adaptability, making them extremely productive and combative, and have also clashed with the local garrison.
