Chapter 70: The Mysterious Cave

Since 1964, a large number of nuclear tests have been carried out in the Lop Nur area, a considerable part of which are underground nuclear tests, and on July 29, 1996, China finally successfully conducted an underground nuclear test, and on this day announced to the world that it would suspend nuclear testing.

Ordinary people generally think that Lop Nur is a nuclear test site, but this is not accurate, Lop Nur is just a code name, the entire nuclear test site is actually a large area from Bosten Lake to the east, north of the Peacock River, north to Kuruk Mountain, and east to Gansu Province.

The main airburst test was carried out on the Gobi, 80 kilometers northwest of the Lop Nur Lake Basin. The underground test was carried out in the basin mountain about 200 kilometers northwest of Lop Nur.

There is still a gap between this address and the range of magnetic field anomalies that we have monitored. Alexander said there was no way to determine the relationship between the two, but many of the mysteries had occurred before the nuclear test. The abrupt change in the magnetic field has occurred in recent years, when nuclear testing has been suspended, so there may not be a correlation between the two.

After listening to Alexander's explanation, Zi Yang's heart relaxed a little, exploration is exploration, and it is another thing to involve military secrets.

After resting for a while, the group decided to continue on their way.

……

On the boundless Gobi Desert, no matter how far you go, what you see in front of you is always yellow sand and black soil, Ziyang has gradually begun to have an illusion, time and space have stopped, they are like ants sealed in amber by resin, what they see in front of them is always the same scenery, if it weren't for Lao Wang shouting hungry every once in a while, there is really a feeling of time standing still.

If it weren't for the fact that Alexander had been holding the instrument to do GPS satellite positioning, Ziyang would have thought that they were lost, walking around with the same scene all around, as if they were going around in circles in the same place.

Lao Wang sat on a camel, shouting hunger, thirst, hunger and thirst.

Because the expedition had lost most of its supplies, especially water and food, Alexander decided to concentrate all the water and food, saying that it was to be distributed scientifically and quantitatively to everyone. In Alexander's words, this would prevent dehydration and malnutrition, as well as "excessive" waste.

This should be said to Lao Wang, Lao Wang's meal is more than three normal people, and there is no moderation, and eating so much food does not necessarily contribute to human beings, it is all turned into, and it is indeed a waste.

Lao Wang hummed for a long time and saw that no one paid attention to him, so he simply jumped off the camel and sat on the ground without leaving. I haven't been so hungry since I was a child, and it seems that I am indeed extremely hungry.

Alexander pretended not to understand Chinese at this time, completely ignoring Lao Wang's protest. Holding the instrument in his hand to locate the sky, he pinched his fingers and calculated silently, and after a while, he turned his head and said to everyone that it was almost there, and we hurried to the road.

Lao Wang was lying on the beach and couldn't get up, Ziyang kicked him, "Hurry up." ”

Lao Wang snorted, "I can't do it anymore, my body is going to fall apart, I want to go, you guys go." I'll have to rest for at least two more hours. ”

Alexander said coldly, "You get up now, and when we have dinner, I can give you an extra box of canned food." ”

Lao Wang, who pretended to be dead, immediately came to life when he heard this, and beckoned to Ziyang: "Help me up, I think I can hold on any longer." ”

Zi Yang had to secretly admire this thin bamboo pole-like foreigner, and he had already figured out Lao Wang's temperament after only a few days of contact.

The Gobi Desert was surprisingly calm tonight, the air was extremely clear, and the moonlight pulled a long figure behind everyone.

Ziyang sat on the camel and fell asleep, looking at the other people who were mostly in a similar situation, and it seemed that they had reached their physical limits. Only Alexander was in good spirits, sitting on a camel with a straight waist.

Zi Yang was behind the back of the team, wrapped the reins in his hand a few more times, thinking that he would not fall asleep and fall down, in case he fell behind, maybe he would have to be with the smoke soul and monitor lizard in the desert.

Alexander, who was at the head of the line, pulled the reins and deliberately slowed his pace. Slowly riding side by side with Zi Yang, Zi Yang didn't have the energy to chat with him now, half lying on his stomach and half sitting on a camel, as if his backbone had been removed.

Alexander nodded to him, "Continue in this direction, you should reach your destination soon." ”

Zi Yang didn't want to deal with him, he wanted to find a place to lie down comfortably and sleep now.

Alexander said, "You go ahead, and I will be behind the temple." ”

Zi Yang looked at him with some gratitude and nodded. I can't wait for this thin bamboo pole to be the queen of the palace, so I quickly took the opportunity to squint for a while.

I don't know how long it took to be in a daze, and suddenly I heard Su Rui's panicked voice: "Dr. Alexander? Dr. Alexander? ”

Zi Yang snorted, and when he looked back, a cool breath rose in his heart, and Alexander, who was walking at the back of the line, disappeared without a trace at some point. On the vast desert, only Xiao Hei, Lao Wang, Timur, and Su Rui were left alone.

The old king next door raised his head in a daze, and when he heard that Alexander was gone, he shouted angrily, "This bastard ran away with our grain?" Grass, it's not a thing! ”

Su Rui said anxiously, "No, Alexander is not that kind of person, there must be some accident." We have to go back to him. ”

Ziyang thought to himself, "Find? How to find it, this big Gobi can't see the edge at a glance, and there is not even a ghost shadow in the surrounding area for more than ten miles. ”

But he was embarrassed to say this, and looked at Timur with both eyes, thinking that your old man is old, tell me about her.

Timur spread his hands and made an expression that I didn't know anything. Zi Yang's teeth are itchy, this guy is useless except to take care of camels!

At this time, Lao Wang and Su Rui had already turned around, and drove the camel back along the road they came, Zi Yang shook his head, he had no brains and quick temper, these two people really had some tacit understanding.

But when he thought that all the food and water were on Alexander's camel, he really had no choice but to find him, so he reluctantly turned the camel around and prepared to look for it, and then turned his head to look at Timur, wanting to ask him if he would go back to find it together, Timur spread his hands and had a noncommittal expression.

Zi Yang turned around and cursed.

After a while, looking back, Timur followed with a camel and a tapper.

Everyone is groggy and no one knows when Alexander was lost, and it is easy to find someone in this vast desert, but it is also difficult to do given the unpredictable situation here.

In order to avoid emergencies and increase the search area, Ziyang suggested that everyone spread out and move forward side by side, separated by more than ten meters from each other, and people were implicated with climbing ropes. Although the efficiency is low, it is considered very thoughtful from the perspective of safety. If you encounter an air eye or something, you can at least rescue it, and if you encounter a monitor lizard or a smoke soul or something, you can only resign yourself to fate.

Ziyang thought in his heart as he walked, what if he fell into the air eye? What's worse, what if you get eaten by a smoke soul?

Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly Lao Wang, who was on the far right of the line, shouted, "There is a situation here!" There is a hole in the ground. ”

The crowd was about to gather around his position, but Timur stopped them by gesticulating, and cautiously climbed down the camel, tentatively holding an iron hammer in his hand.

Everyone followed suit, and after confirming that the ground under their feet was solid, they slowly approached Lao Wang step by step.

Lao Wang sat on the camel and didn't dare to come down, and stammered: "What, what's the matter, am I standing on the gas eye?" ”

"Lao Li, you can't leave me, let's be brothers; Xiao Hei, remember to save me later, my brother has always treated you well; Su Rui, I still have a piece of chocolate hidden in my backpack, if I can't do it...... Sort of it as a gift I left for you, think about me in the future...... The point is, you're going to have to leave me a whole corpse......"

Zi Yang listened to Lao Wang's trembling explanation over there, and said impatiently, "Don't be nervous, we're just confirming that there won't be an accident." ”

All the way to the king, the land was solid.

After Lao Wang confirmed it again and again, a bone turned over from the camel and regained his heroic spirit, "Oh mom, it turned out to be a false alarm, just now I revealed my true feelings, and I didn't choose what to say, don't take it to heart." ”

Everyone ignored him, and looked at the hole in front of them, which was less than a meter in diameter.

The ground around the entrance is flat, and if you look at it from a distance, you won't notice a hole here. It's dark down there, and it's bottomless.

Su Rui inserted two fixed stakes at a safe distance, put on the safety belt, hung up the climbing rope, lay on the edge of the hole, lit up a glow stick and threw it into the hole, and after a while, the glow stick fell to the bottom of the cave with a click, lying there emitting a faint light.

Su Rui looked at the electronic watch on his wrist, and said silently for a while: "About 17 meters." The hole is solid. ”

Zi Yang observed the area around the entrance of the cave and said, "The dirt marks are all old, it doesn't seem to be an air eye that came out of the step, do you think Alexander didn't pay attention and fell into the hole?" ”

Su Rui said, "There is a possibility, but if Alexander adds a camel, the volume is not small, and the diameter of this cave is only about 1 meter......

Lao Wang said, "It's not impossible, you see this, head down, camels and people planted-" said the action of a diver into the water.

Ziyang shouted at the entrance of the cave, "Alexander......"

A muffled echo came from the bottom of the cave.

The old king next door also shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Alexander, come up, I don't want canned food, no need to hide......"
