Lop Nur is the most mysterious place in China, known as the ear of the earth, since it dried up in 1970, it has quickly become a sea of death, no vegetation, no life, only vast salt land and gravel, but it was once a transit station of the Silk Road, and the ancient country of Loulan, which gave birth to a splendid civilization, has become a paradise for explorers.

Sixteen years ago, that is, in December 2000, it happened that Lop Nur entered the windless or windless season, but it was the time for explorers to adventure, my mother, as a desert explorer, also joined an expedition team, they set off from Urumqi, entered the Yadan landform of Longcheng, and then went to the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan to investigate, and finally, wanted to enter the center of Lop Nur Lake, but at that time encountered a black wind, that is, a sandstorm.

They were lucky enough to find a small Yadan landform area in the middle of the desert, which was full of tall wind-eroded landform stone platforms, but it happened to be their refuge.

Fortunately, this black wind did not blow for long, only for more than a day, they all had palpitations, feeling the terrifying power of nature, although they all have a persistent adventurous spirit, but in the face of life and death, most people still chose to retreat, this is nothing to regret, my mother also agreed to go back, go northwest, go around to Yuli County, and end this adventure full of unknown life and death.

The minority obeyed the majority, and they embarked on the journey of returning, but they walked in the tall stone platform of this Yadan landform, and there were almost the same wind erosion stone platforms around them, and people were in it, it was easy to lose their sense of direction, and in two hours, they got lost, and finally climbed up the stone platform to identify the direction, but found that there was the same scenery everywhere, and they could only roughly distinguish the direction through the sun, and went to the northwest, but unfortunately it was dark, and they didn't go out, many people collapsed, some female explorers cried, my mother was quite strong, Because I was six years old at the time, for my sake, she encouraged everyone not to give up hope and continue to walk in the northwest direction.

Night falls, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, but it has just entered the night, everyone is still in a hurry, otherwise, the temperature during the day is too high, people will not be able to stand it, and walked for a few hours, the temperature is getting lower and lower, my mother feels that they are going around in circles in this Yadan landform area, and have to discuss with the team leader, they must stop and rest, otherwise, the temperature continues to drop, people will not be able to stand it, and at this time, many people are entangled by various emotions such as fear and exhaustion, and they are all supported by the will. Some of the more energetic teammates started to light fires, set up tents, etc.

One of the female explorers was so tired that she held the wind-eroded stone platform with her hands, but unfortunately she didn't hold it steady, and immediately lay on the ground, but rolled on the ground several times, and the male compatriots hurriedly helped her up, and couldn't see her face, but heard her pointing to the stone in horror, and exclaimed: "There's something there?" ”

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly took the torches, and saw that a pile of sand had been built under the stone platform, but the woman had picked up some of it, and the sand slid down from above, revealing a piece of clothing, and someone was busy picking up the sand and digging out a person from it, but unfortunately, it was already dead, and the water on the body was steamed dry, and it was a little skinny.

However, they found from the clothes of the deceased, the material was very new, however, what scared them was that there was a lot of dried blood on the clothes, and there was an archaeologist in the team to carefully examine the situation of the deceased, and found that he was not trapped here, but was killed by a gun, and was shot three times in the chest, one of which was the most deadly, just in the heart, from the situation of death, the deceased was not dead for more than three days, although the water has now dried up, but the archaeological experts are very confident that this person has definitely been dead for less than three days.

One of the local Uyghur guides was shocked and told them that this person had Uyghur decorations on his body, and he should be a guide or something, but why was he shot dead here? This is the vast Gobi Desert, how can there be a shootout?

Some people speculate that there are tomb robbers? Either they had civil strife or a fight with the police, so did this happen?

My mother's heart suddenly pinched up for some reason, her heart was beating very hard, she was inexplicably panicked, and she was in a panic at this time, and the captain immediately asked someone to take a flashlight to look around, although she felt that the tomb robbers or other adventurers must be gone, after all, there was a sandstorm yesterday, and this person died for two or three days, and he should not stay in this place where the bird may die at any time if he doesn't, but the captain still told people to be careful.

This expedition team, there are ten people, they searched around in pairs, and sure enough, bullet holes were found in the nearby wind-eroded stone platform, and six more bodies were found not far away, four of which were speculated by archaeological experts to be the bodies of tomb robbers, and the other two were two police officers, although they were not wearing police uniforms, but when my mother saw one of the police corpses, she suddenly knelt down, grabbed the right hand of the public security corpse, and cried loudly, and everyone was frightened.

While comforting, I inquired and found out that this body turned out to be my father's remains.

My mother mentioned in the letter that my father was tracking a group of tomb robbers in Lop Nur at that time, but he did not expect to die here.

That night, my mom was spending the night next to my dad's body, and found the bronze ring in the palm of his hand, and the next day, before they woke up, they were woken up by a siren, and a group of police officers drove into the Yadan landscape and found my mom, them, and my dad's body.

My father died in the line of duty and was buried in the Ruoqiang County Martyrs Cemetery, and my mother was grief-stricken, thinking that this Lop Nur was a nightmare for our family.

However, this is the beginning of the real nightmare, my mother and my father were married in Beijing, and there is a house, which is the house where I live now, I lived in Beijing for more than a year, I was eleven years old at the time, gradually, I found that my mother's temper became a little bad, often very irritable, I was beaten a lot at that time, but I often saw my mother holding the bronze ring to wash her face with tears, I knew that I was thinking about my father, I still seemed to understand at the time, so I lost my temper and went to my grandfather's house, after my grandfather's enlightenment, I slowly understood my mother's pain and my dad's thoughts.

And grandpa knew my mother's situation, so he forced her to check her body, and found that she was infected with some kind of neurotoxin, and at first thought it was the toxin brought by the bronze ring, however, after grandpa carefully took it for testing, he found that there were indeed some residual microorganisms on it, but it was not enough to compare with the human body's antibodies, not the main source of transmission, so it must be that my mother and my dad were infected with some kind of virus when they came into contact with their bodies.
