Cause of death — unknown
The black bull stood up, looked up and looked around, and said casually, "Some kind of need?" Is there oil in this place? The job of the oil exploration team is to find oil for the motherland, how can Lao Su, there is also oil under the sand of this desert? You popularize it for your brothers! ”
I put the head of the dried corpse on the neck like dead wood and said, "Our country has a wide distribution of oil, and although the Sahara Desert is endlessly desolate and called the "Sea of Death", it is rich in oil reserves. In the 80s, the former China National Petroleum Corporation set its sights on the Tarim Basin, which is rich in oil and gas resources. In the spring of 1989, the Tarim Petroleum Exploration and Development Headquarters was established in Korla City, Xinjiang. Subsequently, more than 20,000 people from China's major oil fields and corresponding professional equipment moved westward to Tarim, where they fought a high-level and high-efficiency oil and gas exploration and development conference in the vast Gobi Desert......"
I told the black bull about the relevant reports I had read in the newspaper before, and not only the black bull, but also the group of black men and fake mercenaries around me were all stunned. These reckless men with low knowledge all thought that I was well-informed, and their eyes were full of reverence when they looked at me.
Gu Yixin glanced at me sideways, and said casually: "Don't show off your knowledge here, hurry up and help dig up to see how many corpses there are." ”
"As the saying goes, 'scholars don't go into battle', where can Lao Su do this kind of physical work, come, you, you, and the board inch! The three of you and Master Niu and I will go into battle together! The black bull pointed to the two strong men in black and the board inch, and with him, picked up the sand shovels on the ground, replaced the few people who had dug before, rolled up his sleeves, and threw off his arms to work.
For a while, the dust was flying and the yellow sand was rolling, and we hurriedly stood on the rocks of the mountain base on the side and watched them dig.
I was afraid that the black bull and the other three reckless men would dig up the corpses buried in the sand, so I stared at them and reminded them repeatedly: "You guys take it easy! Don't go down with a shovel and spoil the corpse! ”
The black bull spat out the sand in his mouth and shouted, "Put your heart in your stomach!" Am I that unreliable? ”
Within a half-moment, five more bodies were dug out of the sand, and the black bull and the board head carried them and laid them out in the cleared road, and the other two strong men cleared a pile of sand, and found nothing but a yellow helmet.
"Okay, do you want to come down and have a look?" The black bull shook off the sand and beckoned to us.
Gu Yixin jumped down first, I followed closely, and the sixth master also came over with Miao Yiding's support.
Counting the one whose head was ripped off by the black bull before, there are a total of six corpses, and they are arranged in a row. They were dressed in uniform gray overalls and yellow hard hats, some of which were torn apart and some of which were still intact.
The corpses were all air-dried, their eyes sunken, their mouths filled with sand, and their horror or screams before they died. Over the years, I have learned from Professor Kang the skills to distinguish the general age of a corpse, and the degree of decay of the corpse will vary depending on the environment with different levels of moisture and microorganisms. The corpses in front of me have been completely dried and weakened, so I conclude that they should have been dead for more than seven years.
However, when the Sixth Master and his entourage passed through here nine years ago, the three hills were still standing intact in the desert, and there were no corpses in the passage between the hills. So, they should be dead between seven and nine years.
All the dried corpses carried water bottles cross-body, and in addition, the last dried corpse that was dug up also carried a satchel, which was bulging as if it contained something.
Gu Yixin pulled out the paratrooper knife again, cut the strap of the satchel, pulled it off the corpse, opened it and looked at it, there were two bundles of explosives inside, each of which was composed of five cylinders thick with water pipes.
Gu Yixin picked up one of the bundles of explosives and looked at it, and said confidently: "It seems that these two hills were indeed damaged by them, this kind of blasting device is very simple, and it is easy to cause accidents when blasting is carried out." ”
With that, she tossed the explosives and her satchel aside.
Like a military parade, the sixth master walked around in front of the corpses, took a symbolic look at them one by one, and said in his usual long voice: "It's just a few dead corpses, which are meaningless to us!" Miss Gu, we don't have much time. ”
Gu Yixin nodded, glanced at me, and said with a hint of command: "Okay, Lao Su, get ready to go." ”
With that, she beckoned Zhang Xuefeng to go and pack up the equipment, and then walked towards the camel team by herself.
Confused, I went to examine the corpses. The more I looked at the mystery in my heart, the heavier it became, and I couldn't help frowning.
Seeing my expression, the black bull thought that my compassion was attacking, and comforted: "Chairman Su, the bones of the loyal are buried everywhere in the yellow sand, this group of oil exploration personnel has accidentally dedicated their precious lives to this desert, their feelings are respectable, and their deeds are terrifying!" Generally speaking, he is a typical person who sacrifices himself for others and shows up for great causes! If it really doesn't work, let's bury them back and build a simple hero's grave. When you return to Beijing, you quietly write a letter to the organization and ask them to take the hero back......"
As the black bull chattered, I interrupted him and asked, "Was the first body found on its back to the sky?" ”
The black bull was stopped by my brainless question, he thought about it for a moment, and replied: "Yes, he was pulled out of the sand with his face facing the sky, why do you ask this?" ”
"That's right!" As I spoke, I quickly examined several other corpses and found an astonishing phenomenon: there was not the slightest sign of a blow on their bodies and heads!
