The time was rushed but the training camp was also vigorous, and it came to an end after this incident and was announced.

Everyone prepared equipment, equipment, medicines, water, professional life-saving equipment and weapons, drove two escort vehicles of the security company and a van prepared by Sun Er, and began to march to the Western Regions for the second time.

Along the way, the "Eight Immortals" rushed to the desert area in the northwest of Xinjiang according to the established route and schedule, to find the devil's city that was almost in the "no man's land".

Looking at the speeding and changing scenery outside the car window, Bai Yunfei couldn't help but feel a kind of melancholy in his heart, and suddenly felt that the mountains and rivers were long, the road was difficult, and the goal was slim.

Fortunately, the traffic is now developed, and the distance from Changsha to Urumqi to Karamay is relatively easy to walk, especially the highways and provincial roads and county roads are connected, which is not a big problem.

Only by going deep into the depths of the Northwest Desert is the moment when everyone is truly tested.

A few days later, several cars stopped on the side of the desert road in the great northwest to rest.

Looking at the yellow sand between the sky and the earth, the heat is unbearable, and the overflowing geothermal gas is steaming on the horizon.

People are already so hot that their mouths are dry and their minds are dizzy, and they feel dizzy when they see the steaming momentum of this heat on the ground facing the sky.

Fortunately, there is a soil and sand beam not far from the side of the highway, and the highway just passes through the fracture of this earth and sand beam, and the sunlight is blocked by the earth and sand beam of this fracture, and a shadow zone is rarely formed here.

Although the small one is pitiful, it is not much stronger than the ground exposed to the hot sun, but it is also rare to be shady.

There were twelve people in the three cars, all of whom collapsed in the shadows, enjoying the rare coolness.

Because it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the temperature during the day is very high, especially in this desert, which is different from the mainland, so everyone on this road tries to drive at night and rest during the day to escape the heat.

Rao is like this, he is still scorched by the sun, and several tires have been roasted on the iron-like ground, but fortunately there are many spare tires prepared when he comes, otherwise he would have broken down in this desert.

Sun Er took a few people to change tires and maintain the vehicle, there was no one in the middle of the shadow, Bai Yunfei saw Cao Longxuan lying on the ground looking at the sky with his eyes in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Bai Yunfei remembered that Sun Er had told Li Yulan that he had killed Cao Longxuan, and when he saw Li Yulan's extraordinary skills during the training camp a few days ago, a thought flashed in Bai Yunfei's mind.

At that time, Bai Yunfei thought, maybe the purpose of them saying this is to trick this seemingly smart but often very simple woman to come and go to the underground palace with everyone to explore?

Bai Yunfei estimated that this possibility was very high, and Li Yulan's extraordinary skills and her loyalty to Cao Longxuan made her the best candidate for women in the expedition team.

And why are there women on the expedition? The answer to this question was once mentioned in a ghost story-like adventure told by Old Ghost Su.

It was an upside-down experience when he was young, and it was a special period in China, an era when all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods were overthrown, and no feudal ideas and ghosts were allowed.

At that time, they were digging an ancient tomb in Heishan County, Liaoning, and a dark shadow monster appeared in the dark underground palace, and all the men who entered the tomb fainted silently and convulsed.

The only person who was unaffected, just frightened, was the only woman in the group.

At that time, the members of this non-governmental bandit organization were complicated, and everyone was hungry to come together to rob the tomb, so there were men, women, and children.

After the woman escaped, several people who were answering outside heard about the danger inside, and an older and more experienced person picked a few yellow sunflower flowers that were in full bloom, and asked the woman to carry the flowers back to the underground palace.

The woman refused at first, crying in fear, but everyone persuaded her, and claimed to protect her inch by inch, saying that it was protection, but in fact it was kidnapping and hijacking, so she trembled and re-entered the underground palace with sunflowers in her arms.

Unexpectedly, when the shadow monster saw Sunflower, he fled instantly, and the few people who "protected" her were able to quickly rescue all the unconscious people.

The old ghost Su who had a big life picked up a life in this incident and came back.

After being rescued, everyone lacked yang energy, and it took many days under the scorching sun to recover from the sun.

According to the old man, he also guessed the method of restraint, but he didn't expect to be blinded by him, this sunflower with a strong pure yang qi just restrained this shadow monster, otherwise everyone would definitely get the underground Cultural Revolution in a while.

He said that at that time, he guessed that the situation inside was that he had encountered a monster that sucked the yang energy of a living person, so he thought of this method with the attitude of trying it out, and he was not sure if it would work.

Because men are yang and women are yin, this terrifying shadow monster can easily restrain men and suck yang energy without causing harm to women.

And the sunflower with a strong pure yang qi was too heavy because of the yang energy, and the shadow monster had just finished sucking in the yang energy of those men who fell inside, which was the period when the yin qi was weak.

So fortunately, it was able to suppress the shadow monster's extreme yin ghost qi for the time being, and luckily forced it to flee away.

Although the tomb was not stolen this time, it led to the famous "Black Mountain Old Demon" that later became a sensation, referring to this shadow monster.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunfei knew in his heart that the dangerous and impermanent action of exploring the underground palace often has more possibilities for success if there are multiple women.

I still remember that a while ago, in the anonymous tomb of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, I met those "green babies" and "fragrant corpse babies".

These things are actually to put it bluntly, they are all traps designed for men, the ancients used some evil arts, to create those evil monsters with obscenity, the main role is to confuse men's psychological defense, destroy men's restraint function, let them fall, and then suffer from it.

But because these evil arts can only be directed at men, it will be a very dangerous thing if all the men in this expedition are all, and if everyone is tricked, in the case of losing their minds, there will be no rescue, only sinking and destruction.

But if there are women, it is different, men are yang, women are yin, and the yin that can restrain and poison the positive men is generally not harmful to women, and even if there is, it is not as strong as it is for men.

Therefore, the inclusion of women in this expedition can be said to be a good way to prevent some similar situations from happening, at least after the men are recruited, there are still people who can maintain their sobriety and the ability to move, and everyone can be rescued in time to avoid the end of the total annihilation.

It seems that this time Cao Longxuan and Sun Er lied to her from the beginning, saying that Bai Yunfei killed Cao Longxuan, this scam is also well thought out, not only to trick her into participating in the operation, but also to involve Bai Yunfei, although they can't let Bai Yunfei obey because of this, but they will definitely have a lot of tricks waiting for Bai Yunfei.

Thinking of them being so pretentious, Bai Yunfei couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. It seems that those who want to achieve great things, from ancient times to the present, there are many people like them who are unscrupulous and reckless.

Although the great man said that "the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life", these people have always done whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

So Bai Yunfei couldn't help but ask Li Yulan beside him: "How did you and Cao Longxuan meet?" ”

Li Yulan said: "Our families have been friends since we were young, and we decided to form a 'baby parent'. ”

Later, the Cao family's business became bigger and bigger, and many cities in China had his family's business, in order to facilitate the operation, the family moved from Suzhou to Wenzhou, and Cao Longxuan became a famous local rich second generation in Wenzhou.

This Cao Longxuan has not been doing business since he was a child, he is stubborn, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, cheating, cheating, stealing, people say that "all five poisons", he is "ten poisons and ten occupied", fortunately, he has a big career at home, and his family has loved him since he was a child, just let him be happy, never strictly controlled, and let him come nonsense.

Cao Longxuan eloped with a girl when he was in junior high school, running everywhere in the world, running around, and in the end he lost himself.

Cao Longxuan suddenly disappeared mysteriously for a long time, and his family spent a lot of money to find him in vain, and he was crying and wiping away tears.

However, he has been silent about his family's inquiries, and it is said that his family still does not know where he went during his disappearance and what he has experienced.

And he seems to have suddenly fixed his character, no longer having the virtue of a gentleman, but has become mature and steady. It's just that Cao Longxuan, who has matured, acts secretively and his whereabouts are unpredictable, giving everyone a mysterious feeling.

And the more he grows older, the more Cao Longxuan slowly shows a "king" demeanor, faintly revealing an indescribable leadership charm, which can naturally make people feel willing to follow, but they are afraid of his coercion.

Speaking of this, Li Yulan gave a brief comment on Cao Longxuan:

"This person has a super high IQ and is open when things happen, but the city government is too deep and people can't see through it. Frank and free, but uninhibited, arrogant, domineering, and ruthless, never emotionally shifted at critical moments. is happy to be called by his nickname 'A Dog', and often likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. ”

Bai Yunfei said with some embarrassment: "Listening to what you say, it doesn't look like a fiancée's introduction to her fiancé. ”

Li Yulan squeezed out a wry smile and said, "This is what many people say about his Cao Longxuan, I'm just roughly repeating it." ”

Bai Yunfei asked her: "You are a weak woman, how could you follow him to explore the underground palace, your feelings are really deep."

But this is a dungeon adventure, it is possible to 'go in vertically and come out horizontally' at any time, and to be able to 'come out horizontally' is to burn high incense, and many times you may not even think about coming out. ”

Li Yulan laughed self-deprecatingly, also lay on the ground and looked at the sky with her eyes, and said faintly:

"Deep feelings? Hehe, maybe, in fact, the so-called 'baby kiss' is just a joke between the two families, or my own wishful thinking.

When I was a child, Cao Longxuan's image in my mind was so tall that it smashed into my young heart in an instant.

However, the eldest young master of the Cao family may not put this matter in his heart. ”

Bai Yunfei was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, is this actually the case?

So in an instant, suddenly something seemed to spread in my heart.

But Bai Yunfei didn't know how to answer her words, and when he didn't know how to comfort her, he saw Li Yulan turn her head and ask Bai Yunfei with a smile:

"Why does Niu Gang always say that you are 'day shift'? Does it mean that you only work the day shift and not the night shift? ”

Bai Yunfei smiled and told her:

"I was a year earlier than Niu Gang, and according to the tradition of the army, as long as the soldier is one year earlier than you, you have to be called the squad leader."

Generally, when you are in the army, if your surname is Zhang, then the soldiers who are later than you will call you "Zhang Ban", which is the abbreviation of "Zhang Squad Leader", and it is also a nickname that seems close.

Those recruits naturally called Bai Yunfei, a veteran, "day shift".

In the year of Niu Gang's recruits, Bai Yunfei was already a second-year soldier, and at that time, Niu Gang, who was stupid and coarse, was like an ignorant teenager, stubborn with a little shyness, and when he saw the veterans, he would blush, and hold back a sentence "Hello squad leader!" ”。

Now that he has been away from the army for so many years, he still hasn't forgotten the old tradition, and at the beginning of joining Bai Yunfei, a security company, the first time he saw Bai Yunfei, he shouted Bai Yunfei "day shift".
