Chapter 2 The Remnant Sun of the Desert
Two hours later, the transport plane arrived at the designated place, and the desert vehicles prepared for them by the alliance here had already been waiting for a long time.
Although the transport plane did not enter the Taklamakan Desert due to climate problems, it also stopped not far from the desert, and soon the convoy drove into a desert, under a scorching sun and heat.
Bai Ling's vehicle was located in the middle part of the convoy, it was Lin Xian who was driving, Zi Lingfei was sitting in the passenger seat, and Bai Ling and another person were sitting in the back, looking at the scenery outside the window while wiping their sweat.
The sweat kept coming out, and it couldn't be wiped at all, after Bai Ling wiped the sweat again, he frowned, looked at the other brother sitting next to him, and then looked at Lin Instant in the front row, and said, "Lin Instant, why don't you turn on the air conditioner, it's too hot." ”
"Nope." Lin Xian replied simply, the terrain in this area is uneven, and he has to drive carefully.
"Why?" Bai Ling wondered.
Zi Lingfei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look at Bai Ling and explained to him: "Because we may get out of the car at any time, the climate in this area is too hot, if we turn on the air conditioner now, switch between cold and hot like this, the body will not be able to bear it." ”
"Oh....." Bai Ling also understood after listening. And sitting next to him, another grave visitor, who had a beard and looked to be in his forties, opened his backpack after hearing this, and said to Bai Ling at the same time: "Little brother, it doesn't matter if you come out for the first time, it doesn't matter if you have no experience, you will understand after a few more times, these things are just common sense." ”
After speaking, he took out a bottle of water from his bag, handed it to Bai Ling, smiled and said, "Well, remember to drink water, don't drink water when you are thirsty in the desert, and pay attention to replenishing water at any time." “
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then took the water bottle, smiled and said "thank you", then opened it and took a sip.
The other party looked at Bai Ling and asked, "I remember that your name is Bai Ling." ”
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded.
"My name is Zhao Yuchu, you seem to be the cousin of the white master." Zhao Yuchu said.
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded again.
"Why did you come here to do what we do?" Zhao Yuchu asked curiously, although the Tomb Breaking Alliance (Taibai Archaeological Association) is a formal institution of the state, the explorers in it are still a dangerous job.
After all, those who want to go to the tomb must be experienced and powerful professionals, and if they directly let people from other countries and units carry out tomb archaeology, it is inevitable that they will be killed and injured. By conducting a lower tomb archaeology by a team of these professionals, the casualties are minimized, and the task can be completed faster and more efficiently.
When the association was first established, except for some archaeologists, few people were willing to take such a big risk, which made the association almost have to go out of business before it was established.
In recent years, with everyone's efforts, the association has been called the Tomb Breaking Alliance outside, and the alliance has become bigger and bigger, becoming a super-large-scale association of the whole country, and even involving foreign ancient cultures.
With the current scale, it is impossible for the Bai family to be short of money at all, and Bai Ling can also be said to be a figure at the level of a great young master, like him, he still has to join the association, and he still has to be an explorer.
That's why Zhao Yuchu is curious.
When Bai Ling heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a helpless smile: "I don't know why, my parents recommended me to come here, they said that our Bai family was born to be a genius in doing these things, and my cousin has no opinion." ”
"You're a family of tomb robbers?" Zhao Yuchu guessed.
"I don't know, maybe." Bai Ling shrugged his shoulders and said, his expression a little unnatural. After seeing Bai Ling's expression, Zhao Yuchu said embarrassedly: "Huh..... Am I asking too much. ”
"Haha, not much, people who know him basically know these things." Zi Lingfei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and smiled.
After driving for about two hours, Lin Instant found that the car in front of him had turned on the signal light, which was the car light regulations formulated by the Tomb Breaking Alliance, and now the color and beating frequency of this car light meant to stop, and the vehicle in front told the vehicle behind to stop.
So, Lin instantly began to slow down and stop, and at the same time turned on the signal light, telling himself that the vehicle behind him was ready to stop.
Soon, the entire convoy and more than 30 vehicles were all stopped.
In the third car in the front, Chen Nuo and several people in his car got out of the car, in front of which was a high sand slope, and several cars in the front of the team were all located on this sand slope, and the other cars were all under the sand slope.
Standing on the sand slope, Chen Nuo took out his binoculars and looked around.
Below the sand slope, Bai Ling and the others also got out of the car, after Bai Ling got down, he moved his arms well, and at the same time looked at Chen Nuo on the sand slope, and said, "Uncle Chen, have you found it?" ”
"I guess we're still looking for it, but I guess, we're not going to find it that soon, after all, the desert is huge." Ziling Fei said with his hands on his hips.
On the sand slope, Chen Nuo took a telescope and looked around, except for the endless desert, there was only a dusk sky left, and when they got off the transport plane, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
The sun and moon in Xinjiang are not the same as the time in Kyoto, and now, it is almost dark.
"How?" Beside Chen Nuo, Mu Hanjiang asked.
"I didn't find it, there are no traces left by the previous exploration team in this area, and the terrain doesn't look like there is an underground ancient city, but it's getting dark." Chen Nuo put down the binoculars and said, after speaking, he looked down at his watch, and then said: "It's already nine o'clock, it's going to be dark, let everyone go and prepare, let's rest here tonight, and set off tomorrow morning to find it." ”
"Okay, I'll let you know." The other person beside Chen Nuo responded after hearing this, and then quickly ran to inform him.
After receiving the notice, the convoy began to set up camp, and Bai Ling and their side quickly set up a tent. Then, Bai Ling put all his luggage bag and some equipment into the tent, and Zi Lingfei picked up the fire tools and prepared to go there to light a fire.
After moving all the things, Bai Ling wiped his sweat again, took out the water bottle, and drank another sip of water after coming out of the tent, and Lin Xian on the side also stepped on the sand and walked over, asking, "Are you all done?" ”
"Well, that's a lot." Bai Ling complained.
"Haha, there is actually something in the car, okay, Xiaofei is preparing dinner with everyone, and I will call you when the meal starts, don't go too far." Lin Yan smiled, and then walked into the tent to rest.
After Bai Ling looked around, he walked to the top of the sand slope, and used some leg strength to go up the sand slope. Then he sat down on the sand, sighed, and looked at the endless sand and dust, and the remnant sun of the desert.
Bai Ling couldn't help but smile, although he didn't know why his parents and cousin felt that this was the mission of the Bai family, but he was quite comfortable with this job, at least now......
