Professor Xu was holding a map in his hand, which was provided by the military, which was much more accurate than ordinary maps, with many circles drawn on it, and he pointed to one of the places where a cross was drawn, and our convoy left Yaodan and headed straight for there, which was also the landing point of our mission, Penggo Beach.

Penggetan used to be a small post station, the Silk Road was a necessary stop here, and more than 1,700 years ago, it was a very famous choke point in Loulan City.

Driving in the desert is not like on the flat ground, the car has to bear much greater wear and tear than on the road, but fortunately, our vehicles are carefully modified, and the performance can not be a problem, so we drove hundreds of kilometers for a day and a night, and slept in the car halfway, and when we saw the shadow of Penge Beach, it was noon.

Now Ponggo Beach is not what it used to be, with a few collapsed houses buried in the sand, leaving only a small part exposed, which would have been difficult to find if we hadn't had an accurate map.

After getting off the bus, we rested, Professor Xu took the map and said to the Acropolis and Dao Quanzi, "About a hundred kilometers to the southwest, we will enter the hinterland of Lop Nur, and the terminal of the shadow mission was also there, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on our own fate", Dao Quanzi looked at him, "What? Do you believe in fate now? ”。

"I only believe in science before I met you, I don't believe in it since the Tianjin incident, some things really can't be explained by science, just like the ancient corpse found in Tianjin, which has archaeological value compared to the one found in Tsukuchang Road a few years ago, and the most peculiar thing is that the one found in Tianjin has been tested to have life activity characteristics before coming out of the cave, which is even more strange, maybe only people like you can explain it."

Dao Quanzi smiled and didn't answer his words, just like that, we sorted out all the equipment, according to the information provided by the Acropolis, Lao Liang's people who passed from the direction of Shamin are likely to have entered the hinterland area of Lop Nur now, where they may meet at any time, and then a fierce battle is inevitable.

Simply ate a bite of compressed biscuits, this thing can't be eaten without water, and water is more expensive than gold here, the water in our car is used in a planned way, and if you are not careful, you may run off the water, which is the most dangerous in the desert.

In the end, the Acropolis left a car and four people here as a supply pick-up, and a satellite wireless communication device to keep in touch with District 91 at any time.

The rest of us a group of nine people drove into the hinterland in three cars, the first 50 kilometers were good to walk, and then the sky became a little dark, and we walked more than 30 kilometers, the wind and sand were also bigger, the shadow of the sun could not be seen clearly in the sky, and the car became more and more difficult to drive, and finally reluctantly walked more than 10 kilometers or so, and the car could not move at all.

In this area of Lop Nur, the wind and sand will be irregular, no time to blow, in the car Acropolis looking at the compass, combined with the coordinates on the map, from our destination is only a small point, about less than ten kilometers, the last few people discussed walking over, here waiting for the wind to stop I don't know when, there is an hour is almost to go, while the wind outside is not very good to walk.

Everyone sorted out the equipment, the heavy items were left in the car, in addition to the weapons and some equipment that must be carried, there was only some water and dry food, Dao Quanzi was carrying a crossbody bag, which I knew that in addition to a piece of clothing, there were only some runes and bones, I was much simpler, there was a piece of clothing and food and water in the bag, but there was something on my body to carry something for others, and I didn't know what it was.

After getting out of the car, we continued to walk in against the wind and sand, one foot deep and one foot shallow, fortunately, we wore windproof goggles on our heads, otherwise we couldn't open our eyes, the most guilty here is Professor Xu, who is so old, and there are Zhao Zijia and Wang Xin next to him, otherwise I guess the wind can blow him away.

The Acropolis walked in the front, Wu Hao took two team members in the back, and we walked in the middle, not only did the wind and sand show no signs of stopping, but it became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more difficult to walk under our feet.

Acropolis beckoned vigorously in front, signaling us to hurry up, although we are covered with scarves on our faces, there is fine sand blowing in our mouths, we can still be faster, but Professor Xu can't be fast, and finally Wu Hao replaced Zhao Zijia with two people, basically carrying Professor Xu away.

After walking for almost an hour, the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, and I can't walk straight up at all, and I am blown straight by the wind and sand, and then the Acropolis in front of us is waving forward, and I can't see what there is, but I should have found something, is it that we have arrived at the destination I thought.

When we got closer, we found that there were two sand walls, we hid behind the sand walls to avoid the wind, Professor Xu sat down and gasped, it seems that there should be a lot of sand in his throat, and he drank a lot of water to get better, the Acropolis signaled that he could not go any further, and then said that the wind and sand had passed, and the black, yellow, black and yellow that day was blowing, and nothing could be seen, and at this time we were only two or three kilometers away from the destination.

We gathered together with our backs against the wall, the wind and sand on our heads continued to blow from above, we wrapped in a scarf and did not move, let the wind and sand fall on our heads, at this time a large piece of sand fell, was hitting my head, I grinned in pain, and pulled the sand off with my hands, it was not small, it should have been blown off the sand wall.

I just got it done here, Zhao Zijia on the side sighed, her head was also hit by the falling sand block, it seems that it is not light, she covered her head and rubbed it for a long time, at this time Wu Hao on the side suddenly shouted, "It's not good, the sand wall is going to fall."

We looked up again, the sand wall is now crumbling, a lot of sand has fallen, the Acropolis saw this and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone get out of here, the sand wall is about to fall", if this is buried, it will be miserable, we hurriedly got up and ran forward, at this time Zhao Zijia, who was running in the front, suddenly slipped under his feet and fell into the fine sand, and his body suddenly went down halfway, Wu Hao hurriedly went over to pull her, if she was trapped, there was no hope of survival.

Wu Hao just got to the side and fell into a lot of feet, his hand just grabbed Zhao Zijia, but at this time, he couldn't pull out his feet, and his body sank down little by little, at this time, there were still people who wanted to go over, Acropolis immediately stopped, he hurriedly took out a rope from his bag and threw one end over, at this time Zhao Zijia had already ended up in his chest.

Wu Hao grabbed the rope with one hand, and dragged Zhao Zijia out with the other hand, several of us were working hard, but it was like pulling a falling lead, not only did the person not pull up a centimeter, but also almost pulled us in, Zhao Zijia was also scared, both hands kept fluttering, the more she sank like this, no matter how we shouted she didn't listen.

At such a time, the sand wall behind us dangled and finally fell, we instinctively avoided it and took a big step forward, one step closer to Wu Hao, and then we heard a bang, the sand wall fell and smashed a big hole, and our feet trembled, and then our bodies fell empty.

At that moment, I didn't even know what my mind was thinking, I felt that the sky was dark, my eyes couldn't open, my nose, ears and mouth were full of sand, and my two hands were scratching at each other, as if I had caught someone, but I let go again in a flash, and my breathing was jammed, and I felt like I was going to suffocate.

After that, I just felt a breath of air, and my body fell to the ground, fortunately it was not too hard, but it was not light, and I went down several meters before I stopped, I thought I might go to hell.

I don't know how long I lay down, it felt like I had a long sleep, when someone patted my face, "Shi Tianyi, are you okay, wake up, wake up."

I was woken up, and my throat was so uncomfortable that someone turned me over and slapped me my back, and a mouthful of blood sand spit out, which made me feel better.

I didn't see it clearly until I opened my eyes and cleaned up the fine sand, everyone else was there, fortunately, the injuries were not serious, the lightest was Dao Quanzi, as if it was fine, if it weren't for the fine sand particles hanging on his body, I wondered if he fell from above, the heaviest was Professor Xu, Wang Xin bandaged his calf on the side, it should have been twisted, and I don't know if it was heavy.

When I looked up again, there was still fine sand leaking down more than ten meters high, like a funnel turned over, the hole had been blocked, and we fell from there, and we were full of sand under us, and there were a lot of thick ones, which should have been accumulated from above.

I stood up and cleared the fine sand on my body, it took a long time to get it ready, and there was still a lot of it in my clothes, but it was not convenient to clean up at this time, so I could only endure it first, and then talk about it when there was no one.

The number of people counted in the Acropolis was quite large, all nine of us fell, and the nature of the entire army was destroyed, not a single one was left on it, he pressed the communication equipment there for a long time, only the sound of sizzling came out, he glanced at us, "There is no signal, there is no contact with the above."

At this time, Dao Quanzi looked at the hole above his head and said faintly, "This is the sand gate of hell, it's easy to get in but not easy to get out."
