Due to the unique conditions in ancient times, the abundant aura nourished all things, making some conventional creatures break through their own shackles and evolve more powerful, while in modern times, nourishment sources are already scarce, except for the early extinct species, most of the remaining creatures are commonplace.

Even in the late Qing Dynasty in modern times, there were occasional horrific monsters, which were finally proven to be not real.

The four of them came to a certain time and space, a lively ancient city, an artery connecting east and west, a black-brown plant on the roadside, and a four-winged vulture across the sky......

Ye Qing believed that what they came to was not a certain time and space in the past, but a parallel time and space.

She suddenly stopped and said to a few people: "There is something wrong with the ancient city, and the creatures here have mutated. ”

"Mutation?!" Suddenly, Xie Lai and Qi Huaimei's faces turned white.

Mutation means danger.

"Wherever we were teleported, our starting point was in Lop Nur, which served as a nuclear test base many years ago."

Between 1964 and 1996, Lop Nur conducted a total of 45 nuclear tests, and at one time, it was designated as a military exclusion zone.

Qi Huaimei asked, "Are these mutations due to nuclear tests?" ”

"Have you heard about Pengamu's disappearance?"

Peng Jiamu graduated from the College of Agriculture of Central University in 1947 and became vice president of the Xinjiang Academy of Sciences in 1979.

He went to Xinjiang 15 times for scientific investigation and 3 times into Lop Nur in Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, but unfortunately disappeared in Lop Nur on June 17, 1980.

The first time they entered Lop Nur, Peng Jiamu and several scientists circled Lop Nur, collected water samples and mineral samples, and made a preliminary study of the potassium content in the three rivers that flowed into Lop Nur at that time, believing that Lop Nur was a treasure land, which may have heavy water and other resources.

Heavy water is an indispensable substance for the production of nuclear energy, and in the sixties our country had to spend a lot of foreign exchange to buy it.

Regardless of his cancer-stricken body, he took the initiative to ask Ying to find natural heavy water for the country, but unfortunately the time was short and he found nothing.

The third time into Lop Nur, he crossed the Lop Nur Lake Basin for the first time with a total length of 450 kilometers, because before 1972 was the water town Zeguo, no one could cross, in the lake basin collected many biological and soil samples, collected many mineral fossils, collected a lot of first-hand scientific data, for China's comprehensive development of Lop Nur made forward-looking preparations.

However, he disappeared during this expedition.

The state has dispatched more than a dozen planes, dozens of cars, and thousands of people to search for them in a net-like manner on four occasions, but there are no clues in the face of the sandbags, sand beams, and sand mountains blown up by the black storm.

"For a long time, many people have speculated about the reason for his disappearance, and very few people have noticed why so many forces have been sent to search for him."

"Why?"

"He stayed in this area all year round, and he carried notes on him about the effects of nuclear radiation on living beings, nuclear tests, first in the air, then underground, and in modern times turned into computer simulation experiments."

Xie Lai scratched his head and wondered, "What does this have to do with where we came from?" ”

"We're in an alternate plane, and the low walls are teleporting, and the effects of nuclear radiation are brought here."

When they walked into the ancient city, they really saw some people with physical deformities.

According to Ye Qing's warning in advance, several people didn't speak, just looked around.

At the gate of the city, several seven or eight-year-old boys, all of them stood on their feet, stretched their necks, and looked at the merchant group preparing to enter the city.

Inside the city gate, an old woman held a dustpan with persimmons in it, and the woman next to her held fresh grapes in her hands.

The ancient city is quite prosperous, there are cart and horse shops, restaurants, inns, trading markets, etc., everything, the ancient city has a lot of business travel, and the others did not show a surprised look when they saw them, and they didn't even give them a straight eye, and they were busy with their own work.

"That's the Golden Seal...... Golden Seal! ”

Suddenly, Qi Huaimei shouted in one direction: "Jin Xi, Jin Xi!" ”

There were four of them, Ye Qing walked in front, Qi Huaimei and Xie Lai were in the middle, and Shi Yin was at the end.

Ye Qing only heard Qi Huaimei shouting, and when she turned around, she saw her running away, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Huaimei turned into a small road, and then disappeared.

At the same time, Xie Lai leaned over: "Professor...... What are you dragging me for? ”

Ye Qing subconsciously reached out to grab Xie Lai, and Shi Yin also stretched out his hand, but they didn't catch anything, and Xie Lai was dragged away by one hand.

They saw only one hand, and it was as if Shelley had entered another world.

Ye Qing used his spiritual sense to convey the voice to Shi Yin: "Have you seen Jin Xi or Professor Gu?" ”

"Nope."

Ye Qing stood in place, she looked around, and then she found a problem.

All the way in, they were looking at the interior of the ancient city, including the buildings and pedestrians, but they didn't notice that the people couldn't see them at all.

They are not in a parallel time and space, but in an illusion.

Nothing inside is real.

"It's just a reflection." Ye Qing said.

Shi Yin said, "No." ”

As he spoke, Shi Yin had an extra piece of persimmon in his hand: "At the gate of the city, I left a grain of gold for the old woman." ”

Immediately, Ye Qing walked to the small shop where she bought Persian carpets, and she went to touch a pair of carpets hanging on the door.

She really touched the carpet.

Carpets are real.

She went into the store: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this blanket?" ”

No one paid attention to her.

Because the people inside can't see her.

"You bought persimmons in front of you, did the old woman see you?"

Shi Yin shook his head: "I just picked up a dustpan of persimmons." ”

Shi Yin's speed of collecting things is very fast, at most half a second, he takes it and leaves, where is there to pay attention to the other party's reaction.

When the two of them returned to the city gate, the old woman was still sitting at the gate, and the persimmon in her hand was only half of it.

"Granny?" Ye Qing patted her shoulder, she could do it, but the other party didn't seem to feel it.

The scene in front of me is too weird!

The ancient city is real, the people are real, and the things are real, but the two of them are just shadows?

If they are virtual shadows, then why can they touch people and objects, and Shiyin can still put away persimmons?

Ye Qing couldn't figure it out.

What made her even more troublesome was that Xie Lai and Qi Huaimei disappeared inexplicably.

The two of them now urgently need to solve the problem, first, how to find Xie Lai, Qi Huaimei, Professor Gu, Jin Xi and others, and second, how do they leave this place?

Where is the other waypoint?

Ye Qing didn't know.

Shi Yin has no clue.

However, Shi Yin noticed a point: "Ahead, the hand that grabbed Xie Lai seems to be Zheng Hongmei's hand." ”

"Zheng Hongmei's hand?" Ye Qing couldn't help but repeat it.

Zheng Hongmei is not in the town of Lop Nur?

How could she possibly be here?

"Are you sure it's Zheng Hongmei's hand?"

"On the night of coming to Lop Nur Town, Qi Huaimei poured her a cup of hot water, she didn't hold it firmly and poured it on her hand, I was there, I saw her right hand back, there was an inch-long scar."
