Chapter 1228: A Dry Well
In order to save time, I just parked the car on the side of the road, Xing Wei stuffed the information through the window, and when Lao Zuo put all the information in order, I was going to pull the handbrake and continue driving.
Xing Wei opened the window of the car and asked Lao Zuo and me with some concern: "You really don't need the help of the special combat team?" ”
Lao Zuo smiled at Xing Wei: "I don't need it for the time being." ”
Xing Wei seemed to have a lot to say, but after a moment of hesitation, he still nodded: "I'll wait for your call." ”
I suddenly remembered something, so I asked Xing Wei: "Did the person who brought out the first-hand information sacrifice?" ”
Xing Wei naturally understood what I meant by this, his face suddenly sank, and after a moment, he nodded at me silently.
I had to tell him, "Don't let anyone else in, it's a dead place, and those who go in will die." ”
"Sounds like you're familiar with it, huh?"
"It's not just familiar, I've been to the end of that space, and the danger there is not something you can imagine. So don't go in again. ”
Xing Wei's focus seems to be different from mine: "Not only did you come to the end, but you also came out intact?" ”
He was right, and after a moment of contemplation, I nodded at him.
Xing Wei's eyes suddenly flashed with an extremely shocked look, but then, as if relieved, he showed a relaxed smile.
At first, I didn't understand why Xing Wei did this, until I started the car again and drove the car a few kilometers later.
It seems that Liu Shangang doesn't agree with my plan to go deep alone, and he must have reported my plan of action to the organization, so Xing Wei also knows that when we go to Lop Nur this time, we are likely to enter the weird space that has caused the organization to lose a lot.
He was nervous, fearing for our safety, because the place was too dangerous.
He was relaxed because I was able to bring everyone back safely.
With this in mind, I couldn't help but laugh.
Over the years in the industry, I seem to have some great friends, everyone is scheming, but everyone is kind-hearted.
It is at least 36 hours of driving from Shangcheng County to Lop Nur, and in order to save time, there are two drivers in each car, Liu Huaishan and I take turns driving, and Liu Shangang and Huang Yuzhong rotate in the other car.
In the meantime, Lao Zuo carefully looked at the information brought by Zhuang Youxue, the content of the information is complicated and substantial, but I am not interested in most of the information, I just want to know where the tomb entrance of the Sun Tomb has appeared.
According to the data, the tomb will move every half an hour on average, and seven holes have been found, and the tomb will appear in one of the holes with a relatively random chance, and the most frequent hole in the tomb is a building ruin in the south of Lop Nur.
There is a dry well in the ruins, and researchers have made thousands of observations in the territory of Lop Nur, and the number of times the tomb mouth appears in this well has reached more than 300 times.
However, every time the tomb appears here, it exists for a relatively short time, the longest one appears for five minutes, and the shortest one only lasts about half a minute.
I discussed it with Lao Zuo, and finally decided to go to this dry well and wait for the tomb to appear.
When we drove the car into Shaanxi, we stopped for two hours, during which I contacted Boss Huang, who sells Niu Bao, and asked him to help us build two off-road cars, each with two sets of tires, one for the road and one for the sand.
With the lessons of the last time, we have realized the importance of the car in the desert.
When I left Shaanxi, I called Hu Nanqian again.
I made the call, but the person who communicated with Hu Nanqian was Lao Zuo, and I had to concentrate on driving.
As soon as the other side was connected, Lao Zuo didn't say a word of nonsense, and immediately said: "We are rushing towards Lop Nur, can you help us contact the old ghost?" ”
The phone is on the speakerphone, and I can also hear Hu Nanqian's response: "The old ghost has withdrawn, Lop Nur is about to enter the wind season, you better not go, it's too dangerous." ”
Hu Nanqian's words were an understatement, but our hearts were blocked.
In the wind season in the desert, sometimes it can really kill people.
After Lao Zuo hung up the phone, he still muttered there with a puzzled face: "Why is Hu Nanqian so relaxed, not like her." ”
Liang Houzai, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, responded to himself as if he was muttering: "Pretend to be relaxed." ”
Lao Zuo didn't respond again, just silently put away his phone.
If I remember correctly, the wind season in Lop Nur should be from February to June, Hu Nanqian is right, now is indeed the wind season, in fact, the last time Lao Zuo and I entered the desert was also the wind season, at that time, the old ghost probably wanted to track the whereabouts of the practical gang, so he didn't withdraw in time.
We bought a large amount of supplies into Qinghai, and then we went straight to the desert without stopping.
After coming out of Ruoqiang County, we can already feel the strong power of the wind and sand, in such weather, just changing the tires becomes very troublesome, we spent a full two hours to change the tires of the two cars to wide tires, and when we returned to the car, everyone could shake out half a pot of sand in their jackets.
The reason why we didn't change tires in the city was mainly because our cars were loaded with too many supplies, and we had to go to the desert road to change them for fear of arousing the suspicion of others.
Preparing so many things before, the main reason is that the flow of time in the broken space is not normal, and it may take how much time it will take to go in and out, maybe when we come out, we are just in time for the most violent wind and sand, and if we are trapped in no man's land by the wind and sand, we must have enough food and water to save our lives.
Fortunately, after one sandstorm passed, the second sandstorm did not appear again for a long time, so we seized this hard-won opportunity and galloped at full speed, and finally arrived at the ruins mentioned in the information in the early morning of the second day after leaving Ruoqiang County.
Outside the ruins, you can see the ruts of other vehicles, and you can see some footprints that have not been completely buried by the wind and sand, but none of the footprints have spread to the vicinity of the dry well.
In addition, we have checked every corner of the ruins, and there are no ambushes.
Arriving before us was what appeared to be a group of travelers trying to cross no man's land, and could see the canned food boxes and other food waste they left behind.
We were relieved to look inside and outside the ruins repeatedly to make sure there were no traces of blood or other anomalies.
It is estimated that these people themselves did not realize that when they sat here to eat, mysterious changes were taking place in the depths of Lop Nur, and in addition, there was an extremely dangerous element lurking not too far from here.
If Practical finds out the traces of these people and moves to kill again, I dare to pack a ticket, none of these people will survive.
Huang Yuzhong picked up an empty can and looked at it carefully, then shook his head and threw the can aside: "The person in front of him just left not long ago. It's all the wind season, how can anyone dare to enter no man's land? ”
Liu Shangang was thinking about another question: "Since it is a hole, why doesn't the organization send people to keep an eye here?" ”
Zhuang Youxue deliberately did not send anyone to stare here, so he naturally had his reasons.
I didn't answer, I quickly walked to the dry well and took a look, and sure enough, I saw that there was a large area of agglomeration in the soil at the bottom of the well, and even cracks on the agglomeration.
"Old Zuo, Qinggang Sword!"
I shouted like this, Lao Zuo immediately came over, and threw the green steel sword to the bottom of the well with a flick of his hand, and the sharp blade instantly pierced the bottom of the well, leaving only the hilt of the sword still outside.
The process of sinking the sword body is divided into three stages: slow, slow, and fast.
At first, after the green steel sword penetrated into the soil, the broad blade rubbed against the soil layer, causing the sinking speed to be slower.
Later, the blade of the sword came into contact with something relatively hard, so the speed of sinking slowed down dramatically for a short time.
After that, the resistance seemed to disappear completely, causing the sword to sink at a faster speed than before.
I threw out the gossip money, covered the hilt of the green steel sword with a yang thread, pulled the sword up, and looked at the sword body carefully, and found that there was a layer of gray-white dust on it, and I could smell a very faint smell of iron.
It seems that Zhuang Youxue first hit an iron plate on the wall of the well, poured cement on the iron plate, and finally spread sand on top of the cement.
Thinking about the whole process of the sinking of the green steel sword, I concluded that the cement layer was very thick, and there was an iron plate to support it underneath, and I was afraid that the bottom of the well would not be able to penetrate it by relying on the bone-destroying hand alone.
I discussed with Lao Zuo, and asked Lao Zuo to use the green steel sword to cut through the bottom of the well, Lao Zuo was not ambiguous, immediately tied a steel cable around his waist, hung upside down into the well, and used the green steel sword to draw a circle around the bottom of the well, and the cement layer and the iron plate fell off the wall of the well at the same time, and then fell down a distance.
The distance from which they fell was about half a meter, indicating that the tomb had not yet appeared, and the bottom of the dry well was solid.
I pulled the steel cable and pulled Lao Zuo up, and Lao Zuo said to me while turning out of the well: "It seems that practicality does not go down from here." ”
I pouted: "I'm worried now that he didn't come to Lop Nur at all, and this time we won't be able to get it right and have to pounce again." ”
Lao Zuo sat at the mouth of the well, first nodded worriedly, and then asked me, "Do you remember how to use the Great Void Technique?" ”
Why did you suddenly ask about this?
I nodded, "Of course I do." ”
Lao Zuo was silent for a while, and then said to me: "Do you remember the Buffa of the Yin and Yang Great Array? ”
"Remember, but you only taught me the layout process of the Yin Array, not the Yang Array."
"In fact, the arrangement of the yang array is the same as that of the yin array, except that the yin array allows the yin qi to go from the bottom up, and the yang array is the opposite, it goes from the top down, and the yin array and the yang array are symmetrical from the left to the right. First set up the yang array, and then set up the yin array. ”
I couldn't help frowning: "Why did you suddenly say this, you don't plan to go in?" ”
Lao Zuo waved his hand and said, "Of course I want to enter, isn't it just in case." ”
