Chapter 632: The Adventurer's Tale

Luo Fatzi said seriously: "The stone slab at the door is left for you to take the test, and if I want to take the test, I will test the antiques in your store." ”

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let's dig up this dried corpse first." Wu Ze said after taking the Mosin-Nagant rifle from Luo Fatzi's hand.

With the joint efforts of these young men, in less than a while, this dried corpse was dug out of the yellow sand by them.

"Hey, there's a backpack here." Zeng Xuhui pulled out a cowhide backpack from the yellow sand under the dried corpse.

This backpack is not big, from the outside, it is made of cowhide, the whole backpack is shriveled, and there doesn't seem to be much in it.

Zeng Xuhui opened the backpack curiously, only to see that there was nothing in the backpack except for a notebook.

He opened the notebook at random, but Zeng Xuhui didn't know any of the words in it, and the words written on this notebook were neither the Chinese characters he was most familiar with, nor the English and Japanese that he could often see.

Zeng Xuhui even flipped through several pages, but he couldn't find a familiar word from this notebook, and in desperation, he handed this notebook to Zhang Qichen.

Zhang Qichen took the notebook and looked at it, it turned out that the text written in this notebook was Russian, this kind of writing was not unfamiliar to him, when he was still in school, Zhang Qichen also studied Russian for a period of time, although many years have passed, but the Russian written in this notebook, he can still recognize.

Zhang Qichen opened the notebook and looked at it with all his attention.

"Professor Zhang, what is written in this notebook?" Luo Fatzi leaned over and took a few looks, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand it at all.

"This is a diary written by a guy named Ivanovich, this guy is an adventurer from Russia......" Zhang Qichen flipped through his notebook and told them the story of this adventurer.

It turned out that the dried corpse on the ground was an adventurer from Russia, his name was Ivanovich.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Englishman Stein discovered the ruins of the ancient city of Niya on the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert and took twelve boxes of valuable artifacts from there, which shocked many Western scholars who described the ancient city of Niya as the Pompeii of the East.

When the news spread, there are many adventurers in the West, they have their eyes on the precious cultural relics in this magical land, for a while, many Western adventurers have set off from distant Europe, arrived here, they believe that this Silk Road, which has been very famous thousands of years ago, must have left countless precious cultural relics, waiting for their excavation and discovery.

This guy named Ivanovich is one of them, and after hearing about Stein's deeds, this guy immediately wanted to get a vote here.

It didn't take long for him to contact a Spanish adventurer named Carlos, and the two of them traveled from far away Europe to this desert full of yellow sand, and they wanted to replicate Stein's story and find the ruins of an ancient city that had not been excavated in this place, and make a good fortune.

At that time, they came here and hired a local man who was very familiar with this desert as a guide, and then invited many local people to do labor, forming a large camel caravan, and breaking into this big desert.

They wandered in this desert for more than ten days, but they did not find any ruins of the ancient city, seeing that more than half of the supplies they brought with them had been consumed, and if they did not turn around, they might face the danger of running out of water and food.

At this time, the two guys suddenly had an argument, it turned out that Carlos, from Spain, advised them to abandon the adventure and go home, and Ivanovich, who had spent all his savings for this expedition, thought that he could persist in searching for a few days, and then in case the supplies were not enough, he could also slaughter camels for supplies.

The two fellows insisted on their own words, and for a while, neither of them could convince each other, and in the end, the two of them compromised with each other, and everyone retreated, and they decided to look for two more days in this desert, and if there was no more gain, they would immediately return home.

Unfortunately, they didn't realize that a danger was slowly approaching them, and this wrong decision ended their lives.

Two days later, they still found nothing, and their group had traveled hundreds of kilometers in this desert, which was now far from the people, and just as they were about to return home, a terrible black sandstorm hit the desert.

When the black sand storm hit, they were also like Wu Ze's expedition group, scurrying around, trying to find a place to hide from the wind and sand in the depths of the desert, but their luck was not as good as Wu Ze's others, and they failed to meet a wild camel that could lead the way.

In the process of scurrying around in the desert, they lost all the camels loaded with supplies, and the Spaniard named Carlos, in the process of finding a shelter, was buried in the yellow sand of the desert with the local guide, and along the way, the others died and scattered, until in the end, Ivanovic was left alone.

When Ivanovich found the ruins of this ancient city, he was already exhausted, their team of men and horses searched in this desert for more than ten days, but they failed to find any ruins of the ancient city, and now, at the last moment, he found such an ancient ruin, he looked at the ruins of this ancient city, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Ivanovich, who had run out of ammunition and food, sat in the ruins of this ancient city, and used his last bit of physical strength to record the story of his adventure, at this time, he had no supplies, no partners, in this vast desert, there was no hope of survival, and finally in this dilapidated room, he ended his life with bullets.

Obviously, from Zhang Qichen's point of view, the owner of this story is not a good person, but he used his life to prove that this desert is not a paradise for adventurers.

The Englishman Stein succeeded in discovering the ruins of Niya, and he gained fame and fortune, but this adventurer from Russia not only failed to get the fame and fortune he wanted here, but gave away one of his old lives.

The other members of the expedition were rejoicing in their luck, the experience of this dried corpse on the ground was similar to the danger they encountered today, the only difference was that their expedition group was lucky to meet the five wild camels that led the way, which allowed them to escape and ascend to heaven.
