Chapter 15: The Bones by the Great White Spring
1
I don't know how long it took, another gust of wind blew from the depths of the desert, it was a fairly soft wind, the wind gently blew away the yellow sand covering Tang Feng's body, and a burst of pain in his heart made Tang Feng wake up.
Tang Feng opened his eyes slightly, what he saw was the blue sky, white clouds, there was no strong wind here, there was no black dust storm, everything that was once terrible was as if it had never happened!
Why did you lie so upright in the yellow sand? That terrifying scene quickly flashed in Tang Feng's mind, and the black dust storm that devoured everything, the donkey was lifted into the air entirely, and fell down heavily, but fortunately, Han Jiang pulled it in time...... Han Jiang, what about Liang Yuan? Tang Feng endured the pain and sat up straight from the yellow sand, he felt as if he had died once, and at this moment, it was like a mummy had been resurrected!
Tang Feng stood up and looked around, the yellow sand was long, Han Jiang was nowhere to be seen, and Liang Yuan was nowhere to be seen, even such a big donkey had long since disappeared. At this moment, Tang Feng stood in the yellow sand, and he really understood what it meant to "draw a sword and look around"!
Tang Feng touched his body, he found that he was holding the dagger in his right hand, holding Yu Huang in his left hand, when he escaped from the donkey, he was still carrying a kettle on his body, in addition, the compass on the watch could also come in handy, and there was nothing else. Tang Feng looked at the few things in his hand, and suddenly felt funny, if he didn't wake up, this would have become his own tomb, thousands of years later, when archaeologists found themselves, they may have become dried corpses, or skeletons, but they still have a few burial goods, holding a knife in one hand, holding jade in the other, and a broken kettle on his back, when archaeologists find themselves hundreds of years later, it is estimated that they will think that this is a special funeral custom, and study for a long time, thinking of this, Tang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
To Tang Feng's surprise, the jade huang in his left hand was still intact after experiencing the black dust storm, Tang Feng stared at the jade huang in his hand in surprise, picked up the kettle, and wanted to drink saliva, but what frustrated him was that the lid of the kettle was not tightened, and the water in the kettle was basically leaking, Tang Feng was cold from his heart to the soles of his feet, and no water in this vast desert meant death! Tang Feng looked at the jade huang in his right hand at this time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, didn't the queen of Tibet say that this exquisite jade huang would become his burial object?
Tang Feng didn't have time to think about these things now, and he didn't care about hunger and thirst, his mind was now full of Liang Yuan and Han Jiang, Tang Feng began to look around, "Han Jiang-" "Yuanyuan-" Tang Feng kept calling, but all that answered him was the echo from the depths of the desert.
The powerful black dust storm has completely changed the terrain here, there is no reference that can be relied on, Tang Feng walked aimlessly on the sand dunes, he climbed a small sand dune, and looked around, the continuous sand dunes, where would Han Jiang and Liang Yuan be? Tang Feng began to wonder if he was carried away by the black dust storm, and then fell heavily on this place, he hesitantly climbed another small sand dune, still did not find any signs of life, the desolate desert, silent, everything was still, without a trace of life, Tang Feng felt that he had come to another world.
Tang Feng was at a loss and didn't know what to do at all? He identified the direction, he walked to the small sand dune just now, he was walking east, and he could walk out of the desert in the east, but Han Jiang and Liang Yuan were still inside, Tang Feng carefully recalled the black dust storm, the dust storm was advanced from west to east, if he was swept to the east by the dust storm, then, Han Jiang and Liang Yuan were probably still in the west now, thinking of this, Tang Feng resolutely turned west again.
2
Tang Feng didn't know that this was the first day after their accident, maybe the second day, maybe the third day, maybe ...... At this moment, the noon sun was scorching the earth, Tang Feng stumbled in the desert, his lips were dry and cracked due to lack of water, and his face and arms collapsed several layers of skin because of the scorching sun.
However, he still didn't find any trace of Han Jiang and Liang Yuan, not even a sign of life, Tang Feng began to understand what made the scientific expedition team annihilated, Tang Feng's eyes shed two lines of tears, he felt that Han Jiang and Liang Yuan were more auspicious, I am afraid they have been buried under this long yellow sand forever.
Tang Feng walked forward in the desert step by step, he had forgotten the time, he could no longer distinguish the direction, he just mechanically walked in the direction he didn't know.
Slowly, slowly, Tang Feng had reached his physiological limit, Tang Feng instinctively pursed his chapped lips, tore his throat again, and shouted "Han ...... Jiang ......, Yuan ...... Yuan ...... "His voice became lower and lower, and in the end, Tang Feng completely gave up shouting, he only needed one thing now, which was water!"
Tang Feng was dizzy, he shook his head vigorously, and saw a long high sand mountain in front of him, he no longer had the strength to climb this sand mountain, Tang Feng stumbled under his feet and fell on the hot sand, he supported and looked up at the sand mountain in front of him, and wanted to stand up again, but he had no strength, Tang Feng fell heavily on the sand again, he thought of giving up, he slowly closed his eyes, maybe this is his last grave.
Grave? Tang Feng suddenly felt that he was dying on his stomach like this, it was too ugly, how could he make a joke with the archaeologists hundreds of years later before he died, so Tang Feng turned to one side, turned around, with a smile on his face, looked directly at the scorching sun above his head, held the dagger in one hand, rushed up the tip of the knife, put it on his stomach, raised the jade huang with the other hand, and then gently fell on his chest, this posture should allow archaeologists in hundreds of years to study for a while, thinking of this, Tang Feng closed his eyes with satisfaction.
But Tang Feng suddenly felt that his chest was cold, as if there was a piece of ice on his chest, he struggled and opened his eyes again, Tang Feng found that it was the piece of Yuhuang, at this moment, the Yuhuang was cold, Tang Feng grabbed the Yuhuang, and he remembered the woman wearing the mask again, didn't hide the queen?! I don't know why, Tang Feng looked at this piece of jade, and suddenly a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his heart, and he didn't know where he got the strength to stand up again!
Tang Feng continued to stumble forward, he had already made up his mind to climb over the sand dunes in front of him and make one last attempt, although Tang Feng didn't know what the meaning of doing this was for him, maybe it was the instinct to survive, or maybe he still had something in his heart that he couldn't let go.
Tang Feng finally climbed to the top of the sand dune with the last strength, and in the last section, he climbed up almost with his hands and feet. Tang Feng wanted to stand up, but he tried, and fell into the sand again, Tang Feng lay on the sand dunes for a long time, until a huge eagle appeared in the air, Tang Feng regathered his strength and stood up, he looked up at the eagle hovering in mid-air, he really wished that he could also give birth to a pair of wings, fly into the air, and take a look at this magical land! But when Tang Feng's gaze moved to the bottom of the sand mountain, he didn't care about giving birth to a pair of wings, because he saw a magical scene - under the sand mountain, it turned out to be a very large sea, and the water in the sea was glowing golden under the sun.
3
Tang Feng climbed down the sand mountain with a rolling belt, he wanted to shout excitedly, but he didn't have the strength to shout, when Tang Feng rolled to the edge of the sea, he threw off the dagger in his hand, and even Yu Huang was thrown aside by him, Tang Feng's upper body rushed directly into the sea, he buried his whole head in the water, and then drilled out of the water, gulping down the water in the sea, that posture, like a hungry zebra on the grassland.
However, Tang Feng felt that there was something wrong with this water as he drank it, he raised his head, kept a certain distance from the surface of the water, and then looked closely, why was the water white? He was so shocked that he hurriedly spit out the water in his mouth that he hadn't swallowed yet, and sure enough, it was all white, but Tang Feng smashed it in his mouth, but he felt that this water was sweet and cool, and the taste was very good, and it could even be regarded as the best water he had ever drunk in his life.
But this white water had to make Tang Feng more vigilant, he stared at the water surface suspiciously, white water, but not milk, far from milk white, not as viscous and greasy as milk, it was clearly water, but why did it appear faint white?
When Tang Feng was hesitating, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a large area of golden reeds on the edge of the sea beside him, since the reeds can grow in this water, then, this water should be drinkable, thinking of this, Tang Feng was a little relieved, but only a few seconds of a little relief, Tang Feng suddenly found that there was some white stuff faintly in the reeds, Tang Feng was shocked, he got into the reeds, pushed away the reeds, his eyes widened suddenly, it was white bones, and he met white bones again!
Tang Feng pushed aside the reeds next to him again, and many white bones appeared in front of his eyes, Tang Feng's heart suddenly cooled a lot, these white bones looked like they all fell on the shore of Haizi, could it be ...... Could it be that these people are like themselves, hungry and thirsty, rushing into the sea to drink water?
In this scorching summer, Tang Feng felt a cool breath rising from his back, these people drank Haizi's water, they should have fallen to death by Haizi in an instant, he also drank the water in Haizi just now, it seems that his limit is not far away, Tang Feng couldn't help sneering twice, and he didn't forget to joke with himself when he was about fate, first give you hope, and then crush your hope.
Tang Feng drank water at this time and regained some strength, he was unwilling, and continued to check the reeds, and several skeletons appeared, some fell to the water's edge, and some were twisted together, it can be imagined that these people were in pain before they died, but when Tang Feng opened another piece of reeds, he suddenly found two familiar faces looking at him.
4
When Tang Feng saw the two people, he jumped backwards in shock and sat down on the sand by the sea. At this time, the two people slowly walked out from behind the reeds, and Tang Feng saw that one of the two people was smiling, and the other was terrified, it was Han Jiang and Liang Yuan.
"You...... You two ...... It's okay?! Tang Feng stammered and asked.
"What, you're expecting something to happen to the two of us?" Han Jiang grinned.
"Nope! ......" Tang Feng felt a little messy in his head, and said incoherently: "No, I just ...... Just think that...... Such a terrible black dust storm, and ...... I haven't found you for so long......"
"Hmph, you're all right, how could something happen to us?"
"I ...... I almost died...... How is it okay? ”
"Tang Feng, how are you feeling now?" Liang Yuan looked uneasy and frightened.
"What, why are you like this, I'm not dead!"
"How did you feel about drinking the water from here?" Liang Yuan asked.
"I didn't ...... It's fine, but there's something strange about the water, why is it all white? Tang Feng seemed to recover, stood up and walked to the edge of the sea again.
"We couldn't find you after we were hit by a black dust storm three days ago......"
Tang Feng interrupted Liang Yuan's words, "Three days?!" It's been three days. ”
"Yes, it's been three days, fortunately, when Team Han and I woke up, the backpack was still there, and we relied on some of the food and water left in the backpack for two days, but yesterday the water ran out, and the food was gone, and we were also looking for you, I ...... I thought I'd see you again......" Speaking of this, Liang Yuan choked up a little.
"I'm fine! If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing! Tang Feng patted Liang Yuan on the shoulder and comforted her.
"Yes...... But you just drank the water here......" Liang Yuan said even more sadly.
"Tang Feng, how are you feeling now?" Han Jiang asked.
Tang Feng rolled his eyes and tried to reminisce about the taste of the water he drank just now, "No, I don't feel anything, this water is still a little sweet!" ”
"Damn, it's really fake, and it's a little sweet?" Han Jiang stared at the water suspiciously.
"Really, speaking of which, I'm not as lucky as you, when I woke up, there was only a dagger and this jade huang, oh, and the kettle, but the sad thing is that the lid of the kettle was not tightened, and the water in it was all gone, I had neither food nor water, so I kept walking in the desert, just now I saw this sea, I was already thirsty and crazy, I didn't think about it, and when I was full, I found that the color of the water was wrong!"
"We ran out of ammunition yesterday, this morning we found this sea, originally thought it was the road of the sky, who would have expected this water to be this color, so that none of us dared to drink, but we were reluctant to give up this water source, so we are entangled until now, in order to avoid the scorching sun at noon, we have been staying in the reeds, I didn't expect you to run here." Han Jiang recounted the previous situation.
"Tell me about you, which one looks like a leading cadre?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang rhetorically.
"What's wrong with me?" Han Jiang didn't know what to do.
"Leading cadres should dare to set an example, you two found here in the morning, and you don't dare to taste the water here until now? Do you want Liang Yuan to taste it first? "Tang Feng counted Han Jiang.
"It's just that I am reluctant to leave, and I dare not taste it!" Liang Yuan also echoed Tang Feng.
Han Jiang was anxious, "Damn, if I make up my mind to leave, can you meet your Tang Feng?" Besides, there is obviously something wrong with the color of the water, do you want me to die! ”
"Do you look at what a leading cadre said? What about those wilderness survival tips yours? Tang Feng continued to question Han Jiang.
"Survival tips in the wild, never encountered water of this color! And...... And there are so many bones in this reed, according to my experience of survival in the wild, this water is very suspicious! ”
"Bones? You've both found the bones, too! ”
", of course I did, but because we have to keep our bodies hydrated, I plan to wait until the sun is about to set before examining the bones." Han Jiang said.
"I think you, the captain, are completely at the end, not only can't you dare to set an example, but you are also afraid of hardship and tiredness, and a sun will scare you like this!" Tang Feng looked disdainful.
"Damn, I was supposed to be the captain of the end, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you just drank so much water, otherwise, just you, now you still have the strength to fight with me here?!"
"Then you should drink! No one is stopping you! Tang Feng urged.
Han Jiang didn't rush to drink water, and then circled around Tang Feng three times, "You think I really dare not drink!" Saying that, Han Jiang turned to Liang Yuan and said, "Miss, he seems to be fine, let's not be afraid!" ”
When Tang Feng heard this, he was so angry, "I'll do the experiment together!" ”
"That's right! The results of the test seem to be very good! ”
"Phew! I'm telling you that this water may be *, and I may not have a seizure tomorrow! ”
"Thank you for your advice, Liang Yuan, listen to my orders, we can't drink like him, we only drink three sips, and when the sun sets, there is no problem and then drink with confidence!" Han Jiang admonished.
When Tang Feng heard this, he was even more angry! But it can't be done, who called himself a voluntary test piece!
5
Han Jiang and Liang Yuan only drank three sips, and suddenly felt refreshed and in good spirits, Han Jiang couldn't help but sigh, "It's really strange, this water is so turbid, but it tastes sweet and refreshing, like ganlin!" ”
"Yes! It's really a little sweet, I think the water is fine. Liang Yuan echoed.
"But how do you explain the bones?" Tang Feng picked up a shin bone from the reeds.
Han Jiang pointed to the opposite side of Haizi, "Tang Feng, before you came, we had already walked around Haizi, in addition to the bones in the reeds here, there were also some bones on the shore at that end, and the bones there left more clues. ”
"Oh! Have you already checked it out? Tang Feng asked rhetorically.
"You went over and saw it, you know."
Tang Feng looked at the other side of Haizi, and sure enough, he saw some white bones faintly revealing on the sand on the other side, and there seemed to be some other things.
Tang Feng made a visual inspection, this Haizi is oval, about twenty meters in diameter, the distance from his position to the opposite shore is slightly longer, Tang Feng used a compass to identify the direction, if the magnetic field here is normal, now his location is directly south of Haizi, just now the reeds where the bones were found are in the east, and the other three sides are bare, without reeds.
The trio counted the remaining equipment and items on the South Bank. The food is gone, the water bottle has all bottomed out, a large number of equipment and items have been buried in the rolling yellow sand with the donkey, and the only equipment left for the three of them now is Tang Feng's compass and Han Jiang's electronic compass, as well as the daggers of the two, when the black dust storm came, the photo of the jade interstitial screen and Misha's letter were fortunately stuffed into his backpack by Han Jiang, so they were not swept away by the black dust storm.
"That's all we have left for now, and hopefully we'll be able to add something here." Han Jiang suddenly came out with such a sentence.
Tang Feng was puzzled, and followed Han Jiang to the north bank, the three of them walked around the reeds, Han Jiang and Tang Feng counted the bones found in detail inside, and there were a total of thirteen complete corpses.
After clearing up, the trio continued along the shore towards the north shore. After a while, an even more terrifying corpse appeared on the sand on the north shore of Haizi, some fell on the sand, some lay flat on the sand, but none of them died on the shore of Haizi, which seemed to be different from the bones in the reeds.
"Do you see what's coming?" Han Jiang asked.
"These people were all in the sand when they died, and no one threw themselves on the shore or on the water."
"What else?"
"And ......" Tang Feng suddenly noticed that some of these bones still had clothes left on their bodies, and there were some items around them, "There are also these clothes and items." ”
"Well, I just took a look and I saw something wrong." Han Jiang said, picked up an AK-47 rifle from the side of a corpse, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise, "The model of this thing is exactly the same as the AK-47 we found in Devil's City, and even I checked the gun number, and the gun number of this AK-47 was actually connected to the AK-47 gun number found in Devil's City." ”
"Ahh......h This ......" Tang Feng was stunned, his mouth open, but he didn't say a complete sentence. He walked a few steps and examined the bones, and he found that most of the clothes left on these bones were tunics or leather jackets, "Could this be the member of the scientific expedition team who was killed that year?" ”
Han Jiang nodded heavily, "I didn't expect to find them here." I made a rough count of the bones of the north shore, and there were fifteen of them, so that, together with the thirteen found in the reeds, there were twenty-eight bones; In addition, the remains of three missing officers have been found in Devil's City, as well as three known survivors, and a total of thirty-four members of the expedition have been found. ”
"There should be a few bones left, they may have been blown away by the dust storm somewhere else." Liang Yuan thought about it.
Tang Feng shook his head and said, "This can't be counted like this, have you forgotten the people of Ma Changguo?" ”
"Ma Changguo's people?"
"Yes, although there are not many of his people, he is by no means alone, the black dust storm is coming, he can't escape, Ma Changguo survived, but his people are estimated to be more auspicious."
"So you think there may be people from Ma Changguo among these bones?"
"That's entirely possible, why is it that the bones we found are so regularly divided into two parts, one in the sand on the north shore and the other in the reeds on the south bank?" Tang Feng looked at the reeds not far away suspiciously.
"You mean that some of them are from Ma Changguo?" Han Jiang didn't wait for Tang Feng to answer, and immediately shook his head again: "No, no, this is impossible, Ma Changguo will never have so many people, even if after the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated to the mainland, he has a group of people under him, but this group of people will never follow the scientific expedition team so far, otherwise they will be discovered by the scientific expedition team." ”
"How is it impossible, as long as Ma Changguo is familiar with the geographical environment here, he can ambush his men and horses somewhere in the depths of the desert, I even suspect that the scientific expedition team was not swallowed by the black dust storm, but is likely to be killed by Ma Changguo and them." Tang Feng reasoned.
"This ...... I still can't believe that if there are people in the country of Machang, why would they risk going deep into the camp of the scientific expedition team to plot against Misha? ”
"Maybe they lack a scholar like Misha, and don't forget that Stephen mentioned many times before he and Ma Changguo shouted the word 'Oasis of Death' before he died."
"What does that mean?" Han Jiang was puzzled.
"Now that we already know that Hanhai Mi City is in the Oasis of Death, then the Oasis of Death that Ma Changguo can still remember at the moment of death can only be the Oasis of Death where Hanhai Mi City is located, which also shows that Ma Changguo has once arrived at the Oasis of Death, which impresses him deeply, and something more terrible than the black dust storm happened there." Han Jiang just wanted to say something, but Tang Feng continued: "Think about it again, most of the people in the scientific expedition team were killed here in or after the black dust storm, so how did Ma Changguo get to the Oasis of Death?" Is it possible for him to be alone? ”
"Maybe he's been blown to an oasis of death by a black dust storm."
"Why is it him, and not someone else?"
"Alright, you two don't argue for now, let's examine these bones first, and maybe find anything else from them." Liang Yuan's words temporarily ended the argument between Tang Feng and Han Jiang, but the subsequent discovery shocked the two of them.
6
Tang Feng's first interest in the bones was: Why were the bones divided into two groups? He first suspected that the thirteen corpses in the reeds might be Ma Changguo's people, but Han Jiang disagreed, and the two went to the reeds to check the bones in detail, and the thirteen bones in the reeds were no longer visible Traces of their clothes, which brought trouble to judging their identities, Tang Feng was even more convinced of his judgment, "After the black dust storm, the people of the scientific expedition team and the people of Ma Changguo came to the edge of this sea, maybe there was a fire, and the people of Ma Changguo killed the people of the scientific expedition team, So the people of the scientific expedition team all died on the sand on the north shore, but later Ma Changguo's people did not know what happened when they drank water in the reeds, and they also died by the sea. ”
"This assertion of yours is full of loopholes, if they still have the strength to merge, then why didn't the winning side, that is, the Ma Changguo side you said, drink water and walk out of the desert? And do you think that Ma Changguo's people have the strength to kill the people of the scientific expedition team? The weapons we found all belonged to the expedition team, and they were all on the north shore, if Ma Changguo's people killed the people of the north shore expedition team in the reeds, why didn't they bring their weapons, why didn't they see weapons in the reeds? ”
Han Jiang's words made Tang Feng speechless for a while, and he held it for a long time before Tang Feng asked, "Then what do you say is going on?" ”
"I'll be able to answer that question right away." Han Jiang was lying on his stomach among the reeds, fiddling with something in the damp dirt? Suddenly, a golden thing flashed in the dirt, Tang Feng saw Han Jiang holding something in his hand and got out of the reeds, Han Jiang washed the thing by the sea, Tang Feng found that it was a golden button, and there was a five-pointed star on the button, "This should be the standard button on the uniform of the Soviet army at that time." ”
"This ......" Tang Feng's mind was even more confused.
"Boy, your inference is not valid now!" Han Jiang was a little proud.
"This shows that the bones of the reeds are not from Ma Changguo." Liang Yuan echoed.
"It's not Ma Changguo's people, maybe ...... Perhaps at the last moment of the expedition, the Chinese team members and the Soviet team members split, so they were in different places, and the thirteen corpses in the reeds may be members of the Soviet side. Tang Feng put forward another hypothesis.
"Your assumption is still not valid, I thought of this possibility from the beginning, but I also found items belonging to the Soviet team members next to the bones in the sand on the north bank, and although we do not have the ability to detect bones now, but with my years of criminal investigation experience, I can still see that whether it is the bones in the reeds or the bones on the sand on the north bank, there are both the bones of the Chinese team members and the Soviet team members, so your hypothesis still cannot be established." Han Jiang said, and returned to the sand on the north bank, and sure enough, he found a few relics belonging to the Soviet team members from the sand on the north bank.
"This really confuses me, neither Ma Changguo's people, nor the Chinese and Soviet team members are splitting, so why did these bones fall in the reeds and on the sand on the north bank respectively?" Tang Feng was completely dizzy.
Han Jiang frowned and thought for a while, "This is indeed a problem, not Ma Changguo's people, so this situation can only show that the scientific expedition team has indeed split, but this split is not a split between the Chinese and Soviet team members, but for some special reason, which led to a split in the Haizi after the scientific expedition team encountered a black dust storm." ”
"For some particular reason?" Tang Feng fell into deep thought.
7
It was terrifyingly quiet by the sea, and suddenly, Liang Yuan shouted, "Mom! As soon as Team Han said this, I suddenly thought of ......" Liang Yuan stared at a pair of frightened eyes, looking like she wanted to say something.
"What do you think of? You mean! Tang Feng urged.
"I wondered if the expedition would end up with a lack of food...... Something like cannibalism? ”
"Ahh Tang Feng screamed.
"I once read in a book that there was such a thing in a foreign country, a mountaineering team was trapped on the mountain because of an avalanche, there was no food, and when the rescuers found them, everyone else died, and only one person survived, and this person only survived by eating the flesh of his companions."
Liang Yuan's words made Tang Feng feel a little disgusted, but her words were not impossible, Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang, and Han Jiang muttered: "This extreme possibility cannot be ruled out, but ...... But this possibility is still too extreme. ”
"If you follow Yuanyuan's speculation, then the bones in the reeds are eaten? So no clothing was found in the reeds. Tang Feng said.
Han Jiang shook his head, "I thought about it, I think Liang Yuan's assumption is too extreme, it is still unlikely, if the bones in the reeds were eaten by their companions, then their bones should be very messy, but most of the bones we found in the reeds are intact, and similarly, most of the bones on the sandy ground on the north side of here are also intact, so Liang Yuan's assumption is difficult to establish, as for why no clothes were found in the reeds, I think it is likely that it is due to the dampness in the reeds, so the clothes are rotten and not preserved." ”
"Then how do you explain the split of the expedition team?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang rhetorically.
Han Jiang patted his head, as if he had an answer, he pointed to the reeds not far away, "If you want to deduce why the scientific expedition team split, I think the most important thing is to observe from the scene and see how the bones in the reeds are different from the bones in the sand on the north bank?" ”
"What's the difference? The bones in the reeds left no clothing or anything! Tang Feng said.
"That's not the biggest difference, as I explained earlier, the reeds are damp, so the clothes are not preserved, and the other items are probably buried in the damp soil, and we don't have time to look for them."
"I think the biggest difference is the different posture and position of the bones on both sides, most of the bones in the reeds are very close to the shore, either falling on the shore or not far from the shore; Most of the bones on the sandy ground in the north are far from the shore, and most of them lie on the sand, and none of the bones have fallen on the shore. Liang Yuan analyzed it carefully.
After hearing this, Han Jiang smiled, "Tang Feng, you are really not as good as Yuanyuan now." Liang Yuan observed it very well, it is true, why is there such a difference? I think that's why the expedition team split in the end. ”
"You don't have to say it, I already know what you mean." Tang Fenggang was laughed at by Han Jiang, he was quite angry, and he was eager to prove himself again, so he hurriedly said: "What do you mean, it was the water source that caused the final split of the scientific expedition team?!" ”
"That's right! After the terrible black dust storm encountered by the scientific expedition team, what could be more important than the water source? In a way, water is more important than eating human flesh in the desert! But Tang Feng, what you said is not entirely correct, it is not only the water source that ultimately led to the division of the scientific expedition team, but their attitude towards the water source, that is, this Haizi. ”
Tang Feng thought about Han Jiang's analysis, "I understand, some of the water in Haizi is enough for dozens of people in the scientific expedition team to drink, but the water quality here is very special, and there is a disagreement in the scientific expedition team about whether this water source can be drunk, so some people, that is, those in the reeds, have the courage to try the water in Haizi, while the other part of the people, that is, these people on the sandy land on the north shore do not drink Haizi's water." ”
"That's how it should be, but it raises a new question, why did the team member who drank the water die?" Han Jiang wondered.
Judging from the situation where the bones in the reeds fell to the side of the case, these team members are likely to be poisoned and fell to the shore immediately after drinking water, so they will present such a posture, and so on, those team members who did not drink water did not dare to try the water in the sea again after seeing these water players fall to the ground one after another, until they died of thirst. However, we have all drunk the water in the sea and are still fine, how can this be explained? I think this is the fatal flaw in your reasoning. Tang Feng was proud.
"That's really a big question that I can't answer right now." Han Jiang admitted that there were serious holes in his inference.
Liang Yuan disagreed, "I think the inference of the Han team should be the most in line with the facts, as for why the team members died after drinking water, and we were fine when we drank it, this needs to be scientifically tested, maybe...... Maybe it's because the water quality in Haizi has changed over the years? ”
"Don't be funny! How can it be? It used to be poisonous, but now the water is not poisonous, unless the factors that produce poison are no longer produced, and the water of Haizi is replenished in large quantities, and this replenishment must also be clean, and as far as I can see, neither of these conditions seem to be available here. Tang Feng retorted.
Liang Yuan wanted to say something, Han Jiang waved his hand, "Yes, Tang Feng, what you said is very reasonable, these two conditions must be met before Liang Yuan's hypothesis can appear." And these two points, first, we are not clear about the factors that produced the poison back then, and second, we do not see that there is a large amount of supplementary water in this dead and silent Haizi. ”
After Han Jiang finished speaking, he walked straight to the west side of Haizi, where Tang Feng had not been there.
