When everyone heard Director Wang say that the creature that appeared in the ancient city of Loulan was a prehistoric species, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and couldn't believe their ears.

Luo Fang asked a little puzzled, "Director Wang, this is too incredible, right?" Why do you say that it is not a product of our time? "The sight of such a strange animal in the desert was already shocking, but the old director said amazingly, saying that it came from a distant flood period, which was simply explosive news.

I saw that Director Wang nodded very firmly, and said: "I am not relying on speculation to make a fallacy, in the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", you can find similar strange beasts, saying: The mountain where money comes, there are beasts, its shape is like a sheep and a horse's tail, called a sheep. Let's all think about it, the thing that appears in this Loulan has a face like a sheep, horns on its head, and a waist like a hump, there is not much difference between the two? ”

Yao Chunsheng took over the topic and said, "As you said, Director Wang, this monster is a creature of ancient times, but how did it multiply and suddenly appear in the desert?" ”

"Good, good!" Director Wang bowed his head and continued, "The purpose of my meeting today is to convey the important documents above, and I hope that after each group goes back to study and discuss, it will be written and reported; The other is to select a few comrades from the institute and go to the ancient city of Loulan to investigate this matter clearly. Who wants to work hard? ”

Hearing that the old director was going to distribute the task, everyone was the first to raise their hands and sign up, this said: "Director Wang, I'll go, I'm not afraid of hard work!" That also said: "Director Wang, just let me go, I promise to complete the task!" ”…… There was a cacophony of chirping.

Director Wang gestured to everyone: "Okay, everyone be quiet first, I think it's better for me to make arrangements!" He pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose and looked around at everyone present, "Well, Professor Yao Chunsheng, you will lead the team this time." Qin Kaixin! He shouted to the people in their seats.

There was a young man in his twenties who looked more festive, and his mouth responded: "Here! At the same time, he jumped up from his chair, and his bulging belly pressed against the edge of the table, almost bouncing back, causing everyone to laugh.

Yao Chunsheng whispered to him beside him: "Oh, Xiao Qin, why are you panicking?" Can you be a little more steady? ”

Then, Director Wang shouted again: "Xu come!" ”

Below, a man in his thirties, wearing myopic glasses, staggered to his feet, and slowly responded: "Oh, here! Director! ”

provoked Yao Chunsheng to roll his eyes, very dissatisfied: "Oh, I said that you can do something a little bit of a gentleman?" It's always this unhurried character! He was already unhappy with the two candidates arranged by the old director, he really didn't understand, there were so many people in the whole institute, but he just found two humming two generals!

There was still the last place left, Yao Chunsheng closed his eyes, too lazy to look at it again. At this time, I suddenly heard Director Wang shouting: "Luo Fang! He was startled, his eyes widened suddenly, and he glanced towards Luo Fang.

I saw this Luo Da beauty get up from her seat lightly and replied with a smile: "Here!" ”

Director Wang said: "I have decided to appoint the four of you to complete this inspection mission, and I wish you all a triumphant return!" Now you should hurry back and get ready, and you will officially leave tomorrow. ”

"Yes! Please rest assured, Director Wang, will not disappoint your trust! ”

The vast Gobi Desert gives people the feeling that it is like stars scattered in the sky, so vast and so bleak. This is a barren land, no grass all year round, desolate and empty terrible, everywhere is covered with sand and gravel, everywhere is crisscrossed by ravines, there is no beautiful scenery to enjoy, can only trace the past years in the vicissitudes of life.

The car slowly circled on the sand, and as far as the eye could see, it was all patches of yellow sand, and the sky and the earth echoed each other, and there was no edge to be found. There was a white mist floating in the air, and the wind was blowing violently, making a "rustle" of fine sand and gravel on the ground, constantly knocking on the glass outside the window.

Yao Chunsheng held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, while secretly cursing the ghost weather here in his heart, when he set off from the capital, it was still a scene of clear skies and beautiful winds, however, when he was about to approach the desert area, he began to change the atmosphere, the sky became a gray color, and there was a strong wind. Driving in such an environment, if you don't have a strong psychological quality, if you don't have an experienced old driver, you really don't dare to move forward.

Qin Kexin, who was sitting in the back seat, kept complaining: "Professor Yao, knowing that it is so windy, we shouldn't drive the car into the desert, set up a tent outside to rest, and wait for the wind to pass before making plans!" ”

Yao Chunsheng didn't reply, and threw him a cold word: "I knew that you were such a girl, I shouldn't have let you come here with the team!" If you want me to say that you might as well come, do you see people talking along the way? ”

Xu Lai leaned back against the seat, biting his lip with his teeth, and did not speak, his eyes closed and trembling. "Haha, don't praise Lao Xu, look at him like that, I'm afraid I'm already scared to pee my crotch!" Qin Kexin glanced at Xu Lai, who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help laughing.

Luo Fang turned his head to look behind him, and found that Xu Lai's expression was very scared, so he comforted him: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu!" Don't be too nervous, don't worry, our Professor Yao's driving skills are absolutely first-class, and you will be fine! ”

The beauty's words were comparable to a panacea, and it worked, this Xu Lai slowly opened his eyes, sat up straight, took a deep breath, smiled at Luo Fang, and said, "Thank you, Luo Fang!" This is the first time I have been in the desert, and when I see such a big wind and sand, I am really flustered, and I will slowly adapt to the environment here! ”

Yao Chunsheng turned his face sideways and smiled at Luo Fang: "Xiaofang, I see that your situation is quite good, have you ever been in the desert before?" ”

Luo Fang shook his head and replied, "No! I wanted to come, but I didn't get a chance! If it weren't for the old director's name to let me come this time, I don't know what year and month I would have waited for! ”

Yao Chunsheng was so happy that he was able to go out with the team to run errands, his face changed from cloudy to sunny again, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and said with a smile: "Xiaofang, I didn't expect that this time Director Wang could let you follow the attendance, in terms of your business ability, it is much stronger than the two behind!" ”

"Look! How can there be a city ahead of there? ”

Qin Kexin raised his voice violently and shouted, attracting everyone's attention at once. I saw that in the sky ahead, an ancient city appeared, even the doors and windows could be clearly seen, there were pedestrians coming and going on the streets, there were cars and horses galloping by, there were shops opening their doors to sell goods, and there were children chasing and frolicking...... It all seems to be happening right in front of your eyes, but it's like a high-definition movie in a theater.

Yao Chunsheng stepped on the brakes and sat there staring blankly, Luo Fang was also stunned by such a scene, she rubbed her eyes with her hands, and asked, "Professor Yao, is this—is this the legendary "mirage"?" ”

Yao Chunsheng nodded and said, "Hmm! You're right, this is a mirage in the desert, I've seen it in other places before, or at the beach, but it's not as clear and real as this time! It's incredible! ”

At this time, I suddenly heard Qin Kexin shouting again: "Oh, Mom! Why is this thing getting bigger and closer to us? Run, it looks like you're going to fall! ”

Hearing this, Yao Chunsheng and Luo Fang hurriedly looked over, and really saw that the city had become huge, as if it was on top of their heads, and it was about to collapse at any time. "What's going on?" Luo Fang couldn't help but lose her complexion, staring at a pair of frightened eyes.

Xu Lai said eagerly in the back: "Everyone, close your eyes, don't stare at that thing anymore!" This is an illusion, and the longer you look at it, the more you lose your mind, and in the end, if you can't control yourself, you will go crazy with excitement! ”
