When the dust cleared and everything returned to calm, Tang Feng spit out two mouthfuls of yellow sand in his mouth, shook his head, and then stood up from the sand, Tang Feng only felt that his limbs were weak, dizzy and tinnitus.

Liang Yuan, Han Jiang, Yelena and Makarov also stood up from the yellow sand one after another, and when the five of them turned around and looked back, the east gate of the 21st bunker was gone, not only that, but the hill above the gate had also collapsed in half, and the entire bunker had also become a huge pit covered with rolling yellow sand.

"There's actually a mountain up there......," Tang Feng muttered.

"I ......" Makarov opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.

Everyone's eyes fell on Makarov, who opened his mouth again, "I...... Suddenly I felt familiar, as if I had been here before. ”

"Oh! Old horses. You take a good look at it. Tang Feng inspired.

"Oh, yes, this ...... Isn't this the place where Burdenko crashed? Makarov recognized the place in front of him, and then Makarov said in a very positive tone, "Yes, this is it, behind the hill to the east of the forward base, this is where Burdenko crashed.

"This ...... How coincidental is it? The crash site of Burtenko was just outside the east gate of the bunker? Tang Feng looked at the No. 21 base in front of him, which had been buried under the yellow sand, in surprise.

"It's incredible, father, that when you dealt with the Burdenko crash, you didn't notice that there was such a big bunker here?" Yelena asked.

Makarov shook his head, "yes, it's incredible, I never heard of a bunker here when I was dealing with the crash of Bultenko. ”

"Don't talk about any bunkers yet, hurry up and grab Stepkin, you can't let him run away again!" Han Jiang urged.

"He couldn't run away, and the men in black were all put down." Tang Feng is quite confident.

"Yes, as long as you catch Stepkin, a lot of things will be solved, and besides, everyone disperse, check this place and see if there are any other relics." Makarov said.

"Other ruins?" Tang Feng immediately understood what Makarov meant, "Do you want to find the remnants of the crash again?!" ”

Makarov nodded, and Yelena suddenly said: "By the way, what about the people who attacked Stephkin from behind and saved us?" ”

Everyone then scattered and searched on this Gobi Desert, they did not let go of any clues, Han Jiang and Tang Feng put all the killed men in black together, but to their shock, they did not find Stepkin!

"There are eighteen corpses of men in black, but none of them are Stepkin's." Han Jiang Road.

"I didn't find anyone attacking Stephkin from behind!" Yelena said.

"Eighteen corpses?!" Makarov muttered, and then, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "No—it's eighteen corpses, so coincidentally?!" Han Jiang, you are not wrong! ”

Han Jiang counted it again and replied affirmatively: "It's not wrong, it's eighteen corpses of people in black, and only Stephkin is missing." ”

"Eighteen? When the Burdenko helicopter crashed, I saw eighteen corpses! How could it be such a coincidence? Destiny! Makarov muttered to himself as he examined the eighteen corpses, and sure enough, there was no body of Stephkin among them.

"Let this guy run away again!" Yelena said hatefully.

"No, Yelena, now he is not the most important, Istechkin's fierceness and cunning, even if you catch him, he will not say anything!" Han Jiang Road.

Yelena nodded, and took out two shells from her hand, "I found two shells behind the sand dunes in the northeast, I made a comparison, these two shells are different from those used by the man in black, and they are also different from ours, judging from the location where they were found, these two shells are likely to be left behind by the people who attacked Stechkin from behind." ”

Han Jiang took the two bullet casings from Yelena and looked at them carefully, "This ...... It's a lot like a bullet from a Chinese Type 92 pistol, but I'm not entirely sure either. ”

"Oh! If so, it's getting more and more interesting here! Tang Feng looked into the distance and found that there were still several off-road vehicles parked there, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Everyone ran to several off-road vehicles, a total of four cars, two Cherokee, one Land Rover, one Wrangler, Tang Feng and Yelena paid special attention to the models of these cars, "We didn't see those two cars in the morning!" Yelena said.

"When we chased after us, we estimated that six cars were coming this way, and now there are only four left, which means that two have left here. One was supposed to be Stepkin, and the other most likely belonged to the one who attacked Stephkin from behind. But who could this man be? Tang Feng stared at the rut marks on the ground and said.

"Otherwise, let's try tracking the rut marks again!" Yelena suggested.

Tang Feng was hesitating, but Makarov waved his hand, "Forget it, the sun is going to set soon, and we are tired from frightening for a day, let's go back to the base to rest first, and then discuss the next step after resting." ”

"What about these cars?" Tang Feng asked.

"Several cars were destroyed, and it seems that Stephkin did it in an orderly manner even if he retreated." Han Jiang inspected the four cars and said, "However, we can still use many of the equipment on the cars, such as flashlights, batteries, GPS, electronic compasses, blankets, weapons and ammunition." ”

"I'm starting to miss my donkey now, so many things, and the five of us, can our old jeep fit it?" Tang Feng remembered the thin old jeep.

Yelena patted Tang Feng's shoulder, "Don't worry, it's a little squeezed!" But this car can definitely move us, and don't forget that this car was ready to withstand the test of nuclear war. ”

Tang Feng heard Yelena say this, and he had a little bottom in his heart, and everyone carried all the equipment that could be used outside the training base, and then moved it to the old jeep, and the five people could only curl up in the car, and slowly drove towards the forward base in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Back at the base, night had fallen, and although everyone was already exhausted, they were still haunted by the advance base and what had just happened today.

Makarov seemed to be still immersed in the shocking discovery just now, thinking about something alone, silent. Tang Feng came over and comforted Makarov, "Old Ma, I know you are still thinking about Bultenko, and the forward base." ”

"Yes, I'm thinking about Bultenko, the connection between the forward base and the whole event, judging by Stepkin's familiarity with the bunker, there must have been some of them who had been to the base before, they had been to the bunker, and I am sure that this person did not come here later, but before the riot of the base cadets." Makarov said slowly.

"So you're thinking you might know this person? Who could this person be? Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

"Well, but I really can't think of who it could be, Bultenko, Lieutenant Nikolai, the cadets are all dead, who else could be?"

"There's also Shchedrin, but Yelena has already denied him." Tang Feng Road.

"I agree with Yelena's judgment that Shchedrin personally suppressed the student riot, so he can't have anything more to do with this matter." As Makarov spoke, his voice suddenly became quieter, and he muttered, "Unless Buldenko and some of the cadets are not dead!" ”

"Not dead? This ......," Tang Feng was stunned, "this is known only to Shchedrin. ”

"Bultenko was the corpse I collected for him, I don't believe he didn't die! As for those students, it is not good to say, in the end, a few students jumped into the sea, and Shchedrin did not salvage their bodies! "Makarov is still very confident in himself.

"But according to Shchedrin, including some archival documents that we later consulted, it was a time when the wind was high and the waves were high, and the students were all injured, so no one should have survived." Yelena said.

"Have you ever thought that there is still a possibility!" Suddenly, Liang Yuan's voice came, and everyone turned their eyes to Liang Yuan, Liang Yuan said slowly, "This possibility was originally not established, but because of the appearance of the twenty-first bunker, this possibility is possible." ”

"Don't go around, say it!" Tang Feng urged.

"It is very likely that this is the case, Buldenko and the cadets are indeed dead, but at that time this mysterious organization has developed very strong, and there are other people besides them, such as Stepkin, Brennin, Isakov and others, these people may have secretly come to the bunker, so they know everything about the bunker!"

Liang Yuan's hypothesis opened everyone's minds, "There is indeed such a possibility, but this may need to be based on a foundation, that is, to first determine that there is something wrong with the person Bultenko." Tang Feng said.

"Stephkin admits today that he knows Burdenko and that he knows that Burdenko and his father worked here. How did Stechkin know? It is likely that, as Liang Yuan said, they once came to the bunker secretly when Burdenko was still alive, and even taught the students as instructors. Yelena speculated further.

"Needless to say, there's definitely something wrong with this guy." Han Jiang said disdainfully, "What I am more interested in now is Bultenko's position and role in this organization, but unfortunately he is dead, the bunker is also destroyed, and it is difficult for us to know all this anymore!" ”

"Yuri...... Yuri, he really has a problem?! Makarov was mired in painful memories, perhaps he still could not believe that Buldenko could be a member of the mysterious organization.

Whenever it comes to talking about Bultenko and the cadet riots, things seem to have reached a dead end. There was silence in the room, and everyone began to prepare dinner and bedding sheets.

After eating and drinking, Tang Feng fell asleep, but in the early hours of the morning, Tang Feng woke up, he listened attentively, there was a dead silence outside, and several others were still asleep, why did he wake up? Tang Feng turned over and was about to continue sleeping, but Tang Feng turned back and forth a few times, but he couldn't sleep.

Tang Feng simply sat up, these days the encounters kept appearing in his mind, which made him upset, Tang Feng saw that the time was still early, so he simply counted it by himself, originally Yelena was going to arrange a night duty tonight, but Han Jiang said that Stephkin didn't have the courage to come again tonight, Yelena was right to think about it, so she didn't insist.

"Hey! I'm going to die! Tang Feng sighed softly, took a flashlight, got up and walked out, he thought he should do something? He thought of the photos on the jade intersit, so Tang Feng took those photos and sat alone at the door, carefully observing this ancient map that he had seen countless times with a flashlight.

Tang Feng's excitement about this ancient map from the beginning, has gradually turned into disappointment, most of the marks on the map are the ancient place names of the Xixia era, and now, thousands of years have passed, many ancient place names no longer exist, so it is not easy to determine the place names that appear on the ancient map. If you can't determine what is marked on the ancient map, there is no reference, and it is difficult to determine the route into Hanhai Mi City, and because of this, Tang Feng is more and more disappointed with this ancient map.

But tonight, when Tang Feng checked this ancient map again, a strange feeling surrounded Tang Feng, Tang Feng twisted his neck, kicked his legs, and didn't feel anything wrong, but this strange feeling did not subside, but became more and more intense, Tang Feng tried his best to calm himself down, he used a flashlight to find the location of Hanhai Mi City on the ancient map, and after careful observation, Tang Feng found that the surrounding area of Hanhai Mi City was a dark green, which is the so-called "Oasis of Death?" ”

Tang Feng really wanted to look at the original jade interscope again, he didn't understand that the ancient map on the jade interstitial screen was not painted with brush paint, but how could a circle of dark green appear around Hanhai Mi City, could this be the original color of the jade material used in the jade intersection? If so, that's amazing!

Tang Feng was amazed, and continued to observe around Hanhai Mi City, the dark green surrounding was all white, Tang Feng knew that this was the original warm white jade of the jade insert, white? What does this represent a desert? Tang Feng expanded his gaze to the periphery again, and he found that the jade insert at the outermost part of the ancient map was a faint yellow, which was the color of the desert, perhaps...... Maybe the ancients were not so particular, and both yellow and white represented the desert on ancient maps!

This is the first time that Tang Feng noticed the different colors of the ancient map behind the jade interstitial, in the past, Tang Feng thought that the jade interstitial screen was carved with Hetian mutton fat white jade, so in the impression of Tang Feng, he has always thought that the jade interstitial screen is white, and the front of the jade interstitial screen is indeed white, warm and crystalline, if the color behind the jade interstitial screen is not artificial, then, this jade interstitial screen is even more magical, there are two different colors before and after the thin jade interstitial screen, and the skilled craftsmen of Western Xia are using this extremely rare natural creation, cleverly made an ancient map behind the jade interstitial.

Thinking of this, Tang Feng moved his gaze back to the surroundings of Hanhai Mi City, and he found that in the white * domain around Hanhai Mi City, obliquely, there were many emerald green stripes vertically, which was the original characteristic of jade interstitial jade? Or is there some special meaning?

After Tang Feng carefully observed, he found that these emerald green stripes only appeared around the dark green* domain, and there were no other places, Tang Feng sensitively sensed that these emerald green stripes had a special meaning, but what did these vertical and oblique stripes represent?

4

Tang Feng's gaze slowly moved to the edge of one of the emerald green stripes, and he saw a character here, a Western Xia character, and Tang Feng relied on his memory to identify this character as the word "Gu".

"Valley? Valley?! Tang Feng immediately thought of the valley, he looked up along this emerald green stripe, and a Xixia character appeared, sure enough, it was the word "mountain", and then looked up, it was another Xixia character, Tang Feng didn't know this Xixia text, this emerald green stripe was broken here, but Tang Feng soon found several Xixia characters one after another next to another emerald green stripe, and then connected the words that had been discovered, Tang Feng muttered these Xixia characters in his mouth - "wolf...... Reside...... Live...... Target...... Mountain...... Gu ......"

Tang Feng frowned, "The valley where wolves live? The valley where wolves live! Wolf ......" Tang Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Wild Wolf Valley, yes!" Wolf Valley! The Valley of the Wild Wolf that Makarov said! ”

Tang Feng couldn't hide his excitement, could it be that Hanhai Mi City was in the Wild Wolf Valley?! Tang Feng ran back into the house and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up, I have made a new discovery." ”

"What's going on?" "Don't let people sleep?" Everyone was very dissatisfied with Tang Feng.

However, Makarov chewed out some different flavors from Tang Feng's words, "Tang Feng, you must have made some important discovery." ”

"Yes, very important, I found important information on the ancient map behind the jade interstitial!" The more Tang Feng spoke, the more excited he became, "Look, here, here, the production of the jade interstitial screen is really exquisite, the dark green one represents the oasis of death, and the surrounding vertical and horizontal emerald green represents the valley ......."

Only then did everyone discover the mystery on the ancient map, but Han Jiang shook his head, "Is that all?" ”

"No, it's more important in this one, no, it's not one, it should be the name of this valley!"

"Name?"

"According to the translation of the Tangut text above, the name of this valley is 'the valley where wolves live'!"

"The valley where wolves live?" Han Jiang didn't understand what special meaning this had. However, Makarov immediately heard the mystery, "The valley where the wolves live?" That...... Isn't that the Valley of the Wild Wolves? ”

"Yes, old horse, I think so too, thanks to you, because you told us about your and Burdenko's trip to the Valley of the Wolves; And, of course, thanks to fate! ”

"Fate?" Han Jiang was confused.

"Yes, fate, if it weren't for the fact that we encountered a black dust storm and ran to the forward base by mistake, I wouldn't have thought that this valley had anything to do with the 'Wild Wolf Valley' that Lao Ma said!"

Han Jiang understood, "It is precisely because we have run here by ghost, so when you look at the map again, you will connect this valley on the ancient map with the Wild Wolf Valley. ”

"Yes, I remembered, although I didn't read it as carefully as I do now, but I also saw these Tangut characters, and I didn't translate these Tangut characters together at that time, so I didn't think about the 'Wild Wolf Valley' at all, and now it seems that this valley is the Wild Wolf Valley that Lao Ma told us." Tang Feng said with great certainty.

Makarov nodded, and he gestured on the photo of the ancient map, "If that's the case, then the forward base where we are now is probably at this location." ”

Tang Feng saw Makarov's finger fall on the north side of the Wild Wolf Valley, Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, it should be in this area, we started from the south route, going to the northwest, but we encountered a black dust storm, plus we got lost, and the ghost made the ghost run to the north, you see, in this way, the Wild Wolf Valley is a north-south valley, and Hanhai Mi City is in the middle of the entire Wild Wolf Valley to the south, so we are actually very close to Hanhai Mi City in Devil City, but it fell short!" ”

"Strange, according to the ancient map, how can there be so many in this Wild Wolf Valley?" Yelena pointed to the emerald green stripes on the ancient map, "And there is no regularity at all, some are vertical, some are oblique!" ”

"Yelena, this is precisely the complexity and mystery of Wolf Valley!" Makarov raised his voice, looked around at everyone, and then said slowly: "These irregular stripes show that the Wolf Valley is not a simple valley, I remember Buldenko mentioned to me back then, the Wolf Valley is not a valley, but is composed of all kinds of valleys, large and small, the valley terrain and climate are different, sometimes spacious, sometimes narrow, the emerald green stripes on the ancient map just bear witness to this statement." ”

"Well, I also thought that it is precisely because of so many valleys with different terrains and different environments that people who mistakenly break into it are easy to get lost and enter some dangerous valleys that humans have never set foot in, so they need the guidance of this ancient map behind the jade interstitial screen to take the right path and not die in the Wild Wolf Valley." Tang Feng reasoned.

Only then did Han Jiang realize that they had been so close to the Wild Wolf Valley and Hanhai Mi City, but now they had run to the north of the Wild Wolf Valley, could this be the arrangement of fate?

5

Han Jiang tapped vigorously on a location on the ancient map, "We should have arrived here, it's just ...... Just one step away! ”

Tang Feng saw that the location of Han Jiang's tapping was the fourth place name he had determined before, and it was also the name of the place south of the Wild Wolf Valley, the closest place name to the valley mouth, the name he couldn't translate the full name, "Yes, we should have arrived here, I can only translate the first word of this name, the first word is the word 'south', I thought of this word at the time to represent the direction, but at that time I couldn't think of the specific direction it represented, now it seems that this 'south' word should represent the south of the Wild Wolf Valley." ”

Tang Feng said, his fingers moved quickly on the ancient map, and soon, his fingers stopped in a place north of the Wild Wolf Valley, because there were also two Western Xia characters here, Tang Feng quickly recognized the first word as the word "north", and the second word was exactly the same as the place name that appeared in the south, Tang Feng took a photo and said, "If I am not mistaken, Hanhai Mi City is in the Wild Wolf Valley, and there are two roads to enter the Wild Wolf Valley, south and north, we originally took the south road, and it is very close to the Wild Wolf Valley; And the place where Burdenko took the old horse was the northern road, and even the entrance to the northern road! ”

"The entrance to the North Road?" Liang Yuan exclaimed, "But Burtenko didn't go in at that time!" ”

"This shows that whether it is the north road or the south road, it is not easy to walk in the Wild Wolf Valley! As for the two signs of the south and the north, I guess they are two place names representing the direction, and there are several place names on the north line, and I have to think about it carefully. Tang Feng pointed to a few signs that appeared on the northern line.

Several signs on the northern line are different from those on the southern route, the four signs on the southern line are all outside the Wild Wolf Valley, while the signs on the northern line are basically in the Wild Wolf Valley, combined with Makarov's speculation, Tang Feng thought that if he started from the forward base and took the northern route, he would soon be able to enter the Wild Wolf Valley, but the real danger may not start until he enters the Wild Wolf Valley.

After listening to Tang Feng's new discovery, Han Jiang patted Tang Feng's shoulder, "Okay, we have a new goal again." ”

"New target?" All eyes were on Han Jiang.

"Let's start with this operation!" Han Jiang looked around at the crowd, "We now know that Hanhai Mi City is in the Wild Wolf Valley, and there are two roads to reach Hanhai Mi City, south and north, and the joint scientific expedition team back then, as well as Koznov's secret expedition that was not public, should have taken the southern route, so we also entered the desert from the southern route according to Misha's road map, so we had this encounter along the way." At the beginning, two other rut marks appeared on the Gobi Desert, two rut marks disappeared near Qianhu Town, and then there was the death of Zhao Yong, and we chased that unmanned black Grand Cherokee! I think Zhao Yong's death had something to do with at least one of the cars. ”

"It's that black Grand Cherokee, Team Korean, I've always had a question for you......"

Tang Feng was just about to speak, Han Jiang waved his hand and interrupted Tang Feng, "Tang Feng, I know what you want to ask, I think you have already guessed with your cleverness, in fact, I am on the run, it is a play that I and Zhao Yong acted together, the purpose is to make the inner ghost in our original form, it is true that I was framed, but then Zhao Yong and I will plan for the worst, even if we can't lure the inner ghost, you can also let me turn from the light to the dark, which is more conducive to our actions." At the beginning, everything went well, I believe that no one knew our whereabouts, not even Zhao Yong, but on the Gobi Desert, at the second point, that is, the wolf depression, we were exposed! ”

"Well, the wolves that surrounded us have withdrawn again!" Tang Feng recalled the wolves he saw in the wolf depression.

"I think the wolves are controlled by people, and they only leave after they hear a certain sound. Then, there was what happened to us in Qianhu Town, as you said, in Qianhu Town, we always felt that someone was secretly watching us, but except for the final discovery of Zhao Yong's body, we were not attacked, and I always felt that this was not a general or Stephkin's means. ”

Tang Feng nodded, "Yes!" If it's a general, why don't you wipe us out in Senhe Town like this in the bunker. ”

"Judging from the situation at the forward base in recent days, the general's people seem to favor the northern front, so I even think that the person who killed Zhao Yong on the southern front should not be the general's person."

Liang Yuan's eyes rolled, "Yes, Stephkin also mentioned that he didn't know Zhao Yong." ”

"Who will it be if you are not a general?" Tang Feng muttered to himself.

6

Everyone fell silent, and Han Jiang said again: "We once suspected that Xu Renyu killed Zhao Yong, but we didn't find Xu Renyu, and we don't know his motive for killing Zhao Yong. ”

"What's even more difficult to explain is the strange scar on Zhao Yong's body!" Tang Feng remembered the terrifying scars on Zhao Yong's body again.

"Later, we encountered the woman wearing the mask in Blackstone and Devil's City, which is even more bizarre!"

"Yes, if it weren't for the masked woman, we might have entered the Valley of the Wild Wolf from Devil's City." Tang Feng sighed.

"Now it's useless to sigh. We encountered a black dust storm, lost our way, and walked to the forward base, where we clarified many facts, and met Lao Ma and Yelena, which may be our fate, the arrangement of the immortal heaven. Han Jiang suddenly became chattering.

"What do you mean, our next step is to enter the Wolf Valley from the northern route?" Tang Feng asked rhetorically.

"Yes, from the northern route, I don't think this line is as difficult as the southern route, and our old friends have all gathered here, I think this road will be more lively than the southern route!" Han Jiang sneered twice.

"In addition to the general's people, there are also people who save us, who are they? Will it still protect us secretly? Tang Feng asked suspiciously.

Han Jiang shook his head, "Tang Feng, don't talk about those historical mysteries, there are too many questions that have plagued us along the way, who killed Zhao Yong?" Who helped me out? What kind of beast attacked the defenders of Sennohe? Who exactly is the general? And also...... And the woman in the mask, who is she? Tang Feng, if you want to know the answers to these questions, you must explore the Wild Wolf Valley from the northern route, no matter what we will encounter, we must go to the Wild Wolf Valley to break through! ”

Tang Feng, Liang Yuan, Yelena, and Makarov nodded in unison, and in an extremely complex state of mind, everyone ushered in a new dawn, the dawn in the depths of the Gobi Desert! Everyone knew that there would be more terrible and terrifying encounters after entering the Wolf Valley, but they also had a hunch that they were very close to the mystery.

(End of Part 4)
