Chapter 2 The First Journey

"The whale spine has been confirmed", Captain Sun said on the radio: "The members of this expedition please make sure that the equipment is complete, and they are about to go to sea to meet the ivory, the destination of this expedition, the only desert on the earth, the Mirisuo Desert." ”

Mu Yan sat quietly in the low-density suspension armor car, constantly determining the value on his body.

"Nervous?" "To be honest, I'm nervous, because it took hundreds of years for UNEP to solve the extreme weather in the Miriso Desert, so it must have been very difficult to ask us to go to the desert to collect soil, air and biological information," Wu said. ”

"Really?" Mu Yan said: "What's different from before? ”

"In the past, the air cascade transport aircraft could transport us directly to the sky above our destination, but this time the extreme weather in the desert of Miriso was so elusive that we had to be sent to the edge, and the rest was real hiking, so this time we traveled with the Ivory expedition."

"Shut your mouth!" Captain Sun yelled over the radio.

Only then did the two realize that the radio was not turned off.

The first car suddenly floated up, the team should have been out of the sea, and the ivory people had already lined up at the seaside airport, led by a person with red jet decorations all over his body, who seemed to be of the same level as Captain Sun, but the achievements on his shoulders were not as many as Captain Sun. As soon as the two met, they greeted each other.

"Team Sun, long time no see."

"Captain Townsend. Actually, you just forgot to catch up with me. Captain Sun smiled faintly.

"It's still so direct," Townsend patted Captain Sun, and then said: "This time I am nominally leading the team, and you are the vice captain, but you have far more travel records than me, this task is very difficult, you need to give more advice." ”

"Absolutely." Captain Sun replied, "All of the Whale Spine Expedition Team has it! This team is under the full command of Captain Townsend, remember the usual discipline and what I have taught you, and complete it successfully with the Ivory Expedition Team, Triumphant! ”

The air laminated compression engines of the three air laminated transport planes roared, and the air density began to change, Mu Yan looked down at the current air density value, adjusted the airframe, and entered the transport plane with the team. The air tandem transport aircraft actually flies slower than the average aircraft of the living organism period, but does not cause any pollution to the environment, and is a fully developed aerial vehicle based on the Greenland Law.

In 47 hours, the team arrived at the destination, and as soon as they got out of the hatch, there was a scene that Mu Yan had not seen for hundreds of years, the desert not far away was full of yellow, and the density of sand particles in the air reached the level that the eye could clearly see, and it was difficult for organisms to survive in this place.

"This is my second time here, and at the same time my first time in, have any of the people in the team been in?" Captain Townsend asked over the radio. "Also, such a scene has never been seen in our new era of mankind, but it has been observed and studied in the archives of the UNEP for hundreds of years, as the last area of the earth where biodiversity has not been set foot in, it is time for us to carry out an important first exploration, now that the transport plane has not left, you have something to go back, turn around and leave, the world coalition government respects the basic dignity of everyone's survival." ”

Half a minute later, with still no one quitting, Townsend nodded and said, "Very well, please remember the most important thing next, if your partner is physically damaged, please protect his chip, this is a meaningful experience, everyone will have more glorious achievements on their shoulders than before." ”

The transport plane roared away, and two squads of forty people headed towards the desert.

"There are still such bad places on earth." Wu Yuanxing said.

"After all, the new era of mankind is only a few hundred years, and it is not so easy for nature to completely transform. Check your body airtightness, the sand could be fatal to get in, I don't want to go back to the whale spine with your chip."

"That's nature."

When the team touched the edge of the desert, they could vaguely see that the sky in the distance was darker, and the fine sand fluttering in the wind could be seen everywhere in the air.

"This place used to be a dense group of mountains." Wu Yuanxing asked.

"I don't know, just keep up with the team."

The group walked for 4 hours to walk a distance of 60 kilometers, and the accompanying samplers had collected no less than 10 pieces of information on soil, air, and organisms, and of course the information of organisms was 0.

Townsend and Captain Sun walked in front of the team, looking at the yellow sand in the sky and the black in the distance, and gradually stopped, Captain Sun said: "The sky here has been completely shrouded in yellow sand, and the solar charging may not work normally if you go further, it is now 19 o'clock, I suggest stationing, our desert car may not be able to adapt to the next terrain, wait for all the team members' batteries and spare batteries to be fully charged after sunrise tomorrow before marching." ”

"All members are stationed in place, pay attention to the airtightness of their bodies, stay on guard, and wait for instructions."

The sky was getting dark, and after a while, it was three o'clock in the morning, and Wu Yuanxing and Mu Yan took turns to patrol, and the two found a mountain bag next to the camp and sat down.

"What's in the depths of this desert?"

"I don't know what I don't know," replied Muyan, "I only believe that there were once green mountains and green waters, and that the abundant mountains were not high, but they were the result of tectonic plate movements, and perhaps under the thick sand were countless bodies of plants and animals, and you see, the mountains in the distance were shaped like half-lying people." ”

"The earth is always changing, and with our current technological development, this area will soon change, and it will only be a brief moment in the eyes of everyone. Wait..."Wu Yuanxing suddenly stopped his mouth and tilted his head to look not far away.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yan turned his head and froze for a moment, what they saw together was the radiation of the heat of the organism that was unusually obvious in the dark night, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

"How is this possible!" Wu Yuanxing exclaimed.

The two did not report in time, quickly slid down the mountain bag, approaching the target, the recess of the hills and ravines, the two approached quietly, but the closer they got closer, the more frightened the two felt, the target was not a creature, but a group, the shape of the heat gradually became clear, obviously the shape of a wolf, but it was different from the heat of any kind of wolf in the database, it can also be said that the heat radiation of the wolf in front of them and the current air density are incompatible with the temperature.

"Report to the captain." Wu Yuanxing turned on the radio.

"What's the matter?"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Yuanxing saw that the wolves not far away turned their heads together, accompanied by the wolf howl, and quickly ran towards the two.

"Wolves!" Mu Yan shouted over the radio.

In a very short period of time, the wolves approached the two of them at a very fast speed, and the two had no choice but to shoot, because they were carrying air compression guns, the bullets of the bearer sand were obviously much slower. The two quickly retreated to the camp, which was now lit up and everyone was out of the tent.

"Withdraw to camp! Meet us! Townsend shouted.

"But how can there be wolves in this place?" Wu Yuanxing shouted as he retreated.

300 meters.

200 meters.

100 meters.

The camp was in front of him, but the wolves had already surrounded the two, and at this time Mu Yan saw clearly that the wolves in front of him, without hair, were just like them, shining with a metallic luster.
