Out of the Yumen Pass, I know what is the real scorching heat, at a glance can not see the end of the Gobi Desert, in addition to the messy stones, is the heat rising from the ground, the whole Gobi Desert is as silent as death, the hot and poisonous sun baked my back a hot stinging pain, against the high temperature of more than 40 degrees, a group of nine of us carried out exploration operations on this uninhabited Gobi.

"According to the map, there should be a wall left over from ancient times in front of this, let's go and have a look." Captain Zhang, who led the team, wiped the sweat on his face with a white towel hanging around his neck.

After walking for about two hours, I really found a very low earthen city wall, which was knee-high, which should be the city wall that Captain Zhang said.

"Oh, Captain Zhang, you are really knowledgeable, you know that there is a city wall on such a desolate Gobi, I admire you so much."

"Our Zhang team is a high-achieving student, and they are all talented in the geological team."

"Hey, I'm really wronged Captain Zhang, you really worked hard to come to the front line and personally lead us to conduct oilfield exploration in such a hot spot."

The other team members, you and I began to say words of compliment to the leader, and only me and Huzi were disdainful of this kind of flattery.

At this time, Captain Zhang looked at me and said, "Bai Yu, Li Hu, you go forward to see if there is any signal response, and the others rest in place, we will spend the night here tonight." ”

Li Hu, who was originally squatting on the ground to rest, stood up immediately, glared at Captain Zhang, and said, "Why do you rest and we go to investigate?" He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and standing in front of Captain Zhang, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, should have given him a strong sense of oppression, making him subconsciously take two steps back.

After taking two steps back, Captain Zhang seemed to think of something, took a step forward suddenly, and said loudly, "What do you say?" Just because I'm your captain! ”

Huzi's eyes widened angrily, staring at Captain Zhang, and Captain Zhang was not afraid of him at this time, and then said, "We are all literati who graduated from regular colleges and universities, and we are talents of the country, and the two of you are just retired from the army. Just the two of you, I tell you, to say something unpleasant, you two are ......"

Li Hu's eyes were red, and he grabbed Captain Zhang's collar suddenly, he should be angry, I couldn't see it well, so I hurriedly grabbed Huzi.

Li Hu was pulled by me, he should have calmed down, turned his head to look at me, I shook my head, motioned to him not to do it, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Huzi, don't be impulsive, after all, let's eat under other people's hands, it's not easy to find a job these days, just endure it if you can." ”

Li Hu glared at Captain Zhang viciously, didn't speak, turned around and began to pack up his equipment and prepare to go.

Captain Zhang saw that Li Hu was defeated, and immediately said proudly to the other team members, "Look, you see, Bai Yu still knows the current affairs." As he spoke, he patted me on the shoulder.

I looked at him in disgust, and when I saw his fat, big-eared, and smug appearance, I felt disgusted, and I wanted to rush up and smash out two of his teeth.

This guy likes to trouble me and Li Hu in the unit on weekdays, and now he comes out to survey the same, equipping us with the most backs, surveying the farthest we run, and letting us do almost all the physical work, if it weren't for life, for a villain like him, I would see and fight once.

But the reality is like this, they rest in place, and Li Hu and I continue to move forward.

The two of us didn't have the heart to survey, and we walked for more than three hours, and we rested in place, waiting for the sun to go down before we went back.

"Lao Bai, you said how majestic we were when we were in the army, now, look at these bastards."

I am also full of helplessness, thinking back to how many people's faces my parents have seen, how many grandchildren they have pretended, and then I found this job, my heart is not a taste, I can't be sorry for my parents' hard work, I can only grit my teeth and hold on.

Just when I was full of emotion, there was a weak signal from the detector, I took it and looked at it, only to find that it was wrong, this signal should not be an oil mine, but an iron mine, there should be iron underneath, judging from the reaction of the signal, the purity of iron is quite high.

I beckoned Li Hu to bring a sonar detector, and the signal from the detection showed that there was a large space below, and according to the content written in the geological survey textbook, it was speculated that it should be an underground cavity formed by the movement of the earth's crust.

The two of us took out a pen and paper and began to record the frequency and amplitude of the signal, and began to record more points.

The temperature difference between day and night in the Gobi is very great, and the temperature can be forty or fifty degrees during the day, and as long as the sun sets, within three hours, the temperature will drop below zero.

Huzi and I began to pack up the equipment, and at this moment, Huzi exclaimed, "Lao Bai, look over there!" ”

I looked up and looked in the direction of Huzi's finger, only to feel that a black pillar was forming, and I sighed in my heart, and then look at the sky, not to mention the moon in the sky, there is not even a star, in this vast Gobi, unless there is a big sandstorm! Otherwise, it must be a thousand miles of starlight.

"Huzi, quickly find a place to hide, it is estimated that there will be a big sandstorm!"

When Li Hu heard this, his face changed drastically, we have been in the geological team for a long time, and we naturally understand how powerful the sandstorm on the Gobi is, and the gravel blown up by the wind is much sharper than a knife, and it is no worse than the lethality of a bullet when it hits a person.

We didn't bother to pack up the survey equipment on the ground, took out our flashlights, and split up to look for a place to shelter from the sandstorm, and we could find a low wall, but unfortunately I searched for a long time, where would there be any low wall on this bare Gobi Desert.

Just when I was anxious, Li Hu's voice came from a distance, "Lao Bai... Come on, I found it! ”

I was overjoyed, thinking that there was no endless road, and hurriedly followed the sound towards the bright place, only to find that Li Hu found a circular cave, about one meter wide in diameter, at this time, both of us were in trouble, the vast Gobi, there was such a cave, no one dared to go down! Who knows if it's a scorpion nest, or a monitor lizard's nest.

At this moment, there was a whistling sound in the distance, and a huge attraction came instantly, my hand slipped, and the flashlight in my hand flew out, and by the faint light of the flashlight that flew out, I saw a huge black tornado, the storm connected the heavens and the earth, and the speed of rotation was very fast, and it had a devastating power at a glance!

At this time, I couldn't care about so much, my heart was crossed, and I said to Li Hu, "Jump!" As soon as I closed my eyes, I jumped directly into this cave, and then there was a muffled sound, and I guess Li Hu also jumped in.

As soon as we jumped in, the black sandstorm hit overwhelmingly, the sand and gravel were blown fast by the wind, the tiger was above me, and the exposed back was blown by the wind and sand, instantly taking away a piece of skin and flesh, and the fine sand and gravel went directly into his skin, and the pain made him grin, "I said Lao Bai, can you go down a little further?" Otherwise, before this black sandstorm has passed, I will go to Marx to report my thoughts first. ”

I also knew Huzi's situation, and hurriedly climbed a few steps inside, Huzi's hands could no longer support it, and he sat on my back with his buttocks, and I stumbled, my hands couldn't support Huzi's weight, and my body slammed down.

I took the flashlight of the tiger, looked around the hole, and found that there were many traces left by the shovel on the wall of the cave, but the size and strength were very even, the whole hole was slowly inclined downward, I took the flashlight and shone it downward, and I didn't know how deep it was, but at a distance of three or four meters from us, there was a half-weathered corpse, most of the bones were already exposed, and only there was some flesh around the forearm.

Seeing this, I was suddenly shocked, "Huzi, it seems that this is a thief hole!" This should be an ancient tomb down here. ”

Huzi often listens to me tell the stories of tomb robberies on weekdays, although they are all jokes handed down by the ancestors, but they are told by me as godly, just like I have experienced it myself, I didn't expect to really meet a tomb at this time The tiger who robbed the cave was also energetic.

"How do you know it's a thief?"

I climbed two steps forward, looked at the corpse carefully, according to the climate on the Gobi Desert, as long as a person dies, here is either the wind or the sun, even in this thief cave, within a month, it will definitely become a dry corpse, and the corpse in front of me, although most of the bones are exposed, but those places connected to the flesh have not been completely dried, and it is estimated that this person should have died in less than two weeks.

"Huzi, this corpse should be a tomb robber."

As for the corpse, Huzi and I were not surprised when we were in the army, and when I heard me say this, Huzi leaned forward, and the originally narrow thief hole became more crowded.

"Can you fucking go back, squeeze to death!" I kicked the tiger with my foot, but the tiger was unmoved.

I pushed the tiger and said, "This tomb robber has run here, I didn't rush out of this robbery hole, there must be a powerful lord down here, in case the master rushes out at this time, we both have to explain here." ”

When Huzi heard me say this, he hurriedly took a few steps back.

I took advantage of the light of the flashlight to take a closer look at the corpse, and found that there was a canvas backpack behind the corpse, which had been corroded and unshapely, and there were some green marks on the edges of the backpack, which looked like some corrosive liquid, which had now been weathered and dried, and I thought to myself, "No, this canvas bag is well-made and notoriously resistant to wear and tear, how can it be corroded like this, is it that the bag is filled with sulfuric acid, and now it is spilled?" "I leaned in and sniffed it, and a pungent fishy smell rushed into my nostrils, almost making me vomit.

I didn't dare touch the backpack with my hands, and I didn't know if the dry green liquid was still corrosive, so I gently flicked the backpack with a flashlight.

Slowly the backpack was opened by me, take a closer look, there are really a lot of things inside, although most of them are corroded and can't see it, but I still see a rusty shovel, followed by a wolf's eye flashlight, there are also a lot of rust on it, it should be corroded by the green liquid, and then there is a map, but unfortunately the corrosion is only half the size of a corner, and then look down, I found an extremely delicate square box, the box is dark throughout, and some quaint patterns are carved on all sides, As soon as I saw it, I knew that this was supposed to be a tomb robber who brought it out of the ancient tomb, and it seemed to be quite old.
