When I woke up, it was already the next morning, and the old prostitute was very good, and after getting up in the morning, she did some morning exercises, not only running around the town, but also doing all kinds of difficult jumps. It seemed that he had really recovered, so I didn't stop him.

After breakfast, the old prostitute took me to find three locals, who were their guides last time. This time, we hired not only them as guides, but also their trucks, and after the price was agreed, my wife and I began to shop around for the necessities of the desert.

Lop Nur itself is a tourist town, so you can buy a lot of things here, but the price is slightly more expensive than other places. Tents and sleeping bags are available, and once you have everything you need to stay in, you can buy food and water. There are obviously not many supermarkets here, and we bought almost all the dry food and beef jerky in the whole town, and bought dozens of boxes of mineral water, which were loaded in different cars. Finally, I bought several large barrels of gasoline at the gas station and loaded them on the guide's truck.

After I was ready, I contacted the ruffians again, they had already arrived in Xinjiang, but they said that they could only arrive in Lop Nur Town in the evening, which made me and the old prostitute anxious. It was planned that they would arrive at noon or in the afternoon and go directly into the desert, but now it seems that they will have to delay another day.

In the evening, the ruffian and Ma Daha arrived, and what I didn't expect was that Long Jiu also came. I arranged the most sumptuous dinner for them at the hotel, and while eating, I briefly introduced the purpose of this visit.

When I said that Tianxiang and Little Wolf were trapped inside, the guys in the company were shocked, and it is estimated that they didn't expect that masters like Tianxiang and Little Wolf could be trapped, which seemed to feel a little inexplicable.

The old prostitute told everyone about the matters that should be paid attention to, and briefly recounted the key points he had experienced as the experience of going down this time.

The guys in the company frowned after hearing this, and they thought quietly one by one, as if they had sensed that something was wrong.

Of course, the people brought by the ruffian didn't think so, not only were they not afraid, but they were very interested in the experiences that the old prostitute said, just like listening to a story, a little fascinated, and even let the old prostitute talk about it after eating. All of them are rubbing their fists and palms, and they can't wait to see the wonders of it right away.

Watching the people brought by the ruffian, I wondered if I was too reckless in my decision. Although these people are all strong, they are not people in the circle after all, and they don't know who the little wolf and Tianxiang are, so they don't feel the potential danger.

After eating, I didn't talk to them too much, but the old prostitute chatted with them very well. As soon as I got back to my room, Long Jiu came and asked me a very strict question.

She asked me, why didn't she find someone, why use those rogue brothers of the ruffians? He also said that the people who the ruffians were looking for were all guys who wanted to make money, and they were not reliable at all.

I didn't explain anything to her, I just told her not to think about it, it's not that I don't trust her, it's just that the situation here is special and I don't want too many people who know us to know what we're doing here.

Long Jiu said that some equipment and weapons will come at midnight tonight, and ask me if I want to distribute weapons to the ruffians, and I asked her not to do it for the time being, and then issue equipment and weapons to those who go down after they are in the place, and those who do not go down will not be equipped with weapons. After all, I don't know the character of these people, and if they are equipped with weapons, they will be in trouble if they come back to the nest.

Not long after Long Jiu left, the ruffian came again, and he had to talk to me.

I thought the ruffian was here to negotiate money for the people he brought, so I didn't even think about asking him to bargain directly. But the ruffian said that he was not for this, and said that there was something else.

"Boss, when I was eating just now, I seemed to be very strict about those things, is it really so evil here?" I nodded, and the riffraff continued, "If that's the case, then you have to take it easy when you make your decision, and think more about these brothers I brought." ”

I frowned, looked at him, and he continued: "Boss, don't mind, although I haven't been in the company, I still understand the things in it, after all, I have been in the company for so many years, and I have heard a lot of stories and seen a lot of things." But I brought these brothers differently, they don't understand at all, after all, unlike the professionals in the company, they are all from poor backgrounds, to put it bluntly, they are also forced to have no choice but to embark on this road, if there is a good development, who wants to come out and mix. They came this time just to earn more money to support their families, so the boss can't use these people as cannon fodder. ”

Speaking of this, the ruffian paused, saw that I didn't say anything, and continued: "Boss, if you really need cannon fodder, then I'll go first." I'm alone, I have no home or job, and I don't have anything to worry about, and every year I take the company's money, do things for the company, and go to the fire, which is natural, even if I die, I have no regrets. ”

"Alright, don't say it, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I won't use anyone as cannon fodder. ”

After chatting with the riffraff for a while, he introduced me to all these people, and the one that impressed me the most was a guy nicknamed Scar. The ruffian said, don't look at this person as evil, look like a bad guy, but it's not. He said that this person is very righteous, very moral, and a practitioner, if there is anything important, he can arrange for him, and this person is trustworthy.

After sending the riffraff away, I was thinking about what he said.

To be honest, I understand what the riffraff told me, he is very familiar with the company's procedures for going to the grave, and after realizing the danger here, he told me that these things are normal, after all, those people are brought by him, and he is always responsible for them.

This night, I didn't sleep well, I always had nightmares, there was no good dream, either the people I brought died, or the little wolf died, and finally this dream was even more cruel, even I hung up.

When I wake up from nightmares again and again, I always remind myself that dreams are all reversed, and maybe this is the only way to comfort my awakened soul.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, everyone got up, this was the dinner time set last night, and after breakfast, they packed their bags and set off.

Leaving the town of Lop Nur, we headed in the direction of Baiqugou.

At first, I thought Baiqugou was the name of a village, but then I learned about it after listening to the guide in the car. It wasn't a village, it was just the name of a landmark deep in the desert.

The origin of the name of this landmark is that there is a dry river canal there, and the dry canal is full of white salt crusts, so it is called Baiqugou by the locals.

Not long after leaving the town of Lop Nur, the off-road vehicle quickly drove off the road and into the endless desert. Although there is no road in the desert, you can see a lot of ruts, and it seems that there are still cars walking on this road.

The climate here is dry, and the cars are far away from each other to escape the yellow sand raised by the previous car.

After more than two hours, our car was away from the ruts in the desert and started a new road. I asked the guide why there was no rut leading to Baiqugou, and he said that it was too barren for ordinary herdsmen to go there because there were devils living in it, and there was no grass for cattle and sheep to eat. Except for the sporadic photography enthusiasts who go there to take pictures, no one goes there.

After listening to the guide, I wondered very much, how did the little wolf know this route? Even if the brocade scrolls were found in the Murong family's test base, it would be impossible to know so much about them, after all, those brocade scrolls were all from 1,800 years ago, so I didn't understand this point.

I thought to myself, after rescuing the little wolf this time, he didn't want to hide anything from me anymore, and he must let him tell everything he knew.

The guide told me that this stretch of desert is fairly flat and suitable for convoys, and there are not too many undulating sand dunes. But soon we're going to be in the "no-go zone", and it's no longer as easy to walk as it is here.

I didn't understand what he meant by the forbidden area, so I asked him to explain it to me.

The Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang has long been referred to as the "Sea of Death." The world's second largest mobile desert has buried many footprints of human civilization and hidden secrets over the years. Because of its mystery, Uyghurs living in Xinjiang even call it a forbidden area where they "can't get in or out".

After driving into the guide's so-called forbidden area, there is no man's land on the map, that is, there is not even a basic road that has been rolled out by cars, and under the wheels is a place that no one has reached for decades or even centuries.

As for the road conditions, or even worse, the so-called off-road vehicles are trembling driving in the undulating desert, because you don't know which section of the sand will have a pothole.

As time passed, the scorching sun and extreme turbulence caused the people who were in high spirits at first to be almost immediately defeated, one by one they were bent in the sun, and at first there were people racing cars, and then all of them obediently lined up.

In so-called exploration and geological exploration activities, activities in the desert are actually completely different from jungle or ocean exploration, and both the ocean and the jungle have a lot of resources available, which means that as long as you have the skills to survive, you can survive in both places for a long time. But the desert is the complete opposite, here, there is only sand, even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't find anything in the desert on your own that can sustain life.

In fact, for me, the most terrible thing is not the bumps along the way, nor the cruel scorching sun, but the absence of scenery along the way, all the way to the same scenery, except for the sand or sand, I see my eyes dizzy, this feeling is suffocating.

After a long day's tedious journey, we finally arrived at Baiqugou before dark.
