Chapter 316: Questions about the Convoy
For the next few days, they continued to follow the wreckage of the trucks, but because of their previous discoveries, they began to pay extra attention to the loose sand on the side of the road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
To their surprise, they found several nuclear radiation detectors of the same model, not only that, but they even found a lot of other things, most of which were water bottles, backpacks, cigarettes, canned food boxes and other daily necessities, and the number was not small, all of them were only shallow buried next to the rubble of the truck.
Through these abandoned items, Xia Qing analyzed and concluded that the personnel of this convoy should have received an order to evacuate from here urgently, because they only saw all kinds of abandoned things on the way, but never found the remains of a human body, so she concluded that although those Soviets were very nervous when they evacuated, they were not panicked, and they were not attacked, and it seemed that they must be well-trained soldiers.
Basically no one objected to Xia Qing's inference, because her logical thinking ability is very strong, and her views are also very consistent with the actual situation, so her inference is basically valid, but it also gives rise to a series of new problems.
That is such a huge convoy, how can it be said that it will be withdrawn? You know, throwing away such a number of trucks, even for the Soviet Union back then, was definitely a major loss, so what happened at that time to make their top brass give such an order? The answer is unknown.
In addition, there is another puzzling question, that is, why don't they use trucks as a means of transportation when this huge convoy of personnel is evacuating? Is it because the gasoline in the fuel tanks of these trucks has turned into sand in an instant?
Whatever the reason, there must be some other way for them to transport it.
You must know that the number of these personnel is really not small, and the best way to evacuate these people as soon as possible may be to transport them by rail. But how can there be a railway here? The Pamirs are full of ravines, with an average altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and the construction of railways here is simply a fantasy.
Since there is no railway. Then, there is only one possibility left, and that is air freight.
However, Gao Chao believes that air transportation, like rail transportation, is absolutely impossible. It's not that planes can't take off and land here, but he thinks that it is impossible to use planes to transport so many people, and the cost of doing so is too high, not to mention how many transport planes will take off and land, and building a military airfield in this environment alone is an impossible task.
His masterful judgment was also shared by others, and his idea was basically not wrong, that it was impossible to build an airport on the Pamirs, especially more than thirty years ago. At that time, the world was still in the Cold War period, and it was impossible to compare it with the present in terms of technology and financial resources, so how could people at that time achieve what they could not do until today?
Perhaps his high judgment is reasonable, but he ignores the fact that humans have always had a tendency to be arrogant, and they tend to underestimate the abilities of their ancestors.
In this way, the whole thing is even more confusing. Why did the Soviets send such a huge convoy? What exactly are they looking for? Why did they all evacuate in a hurry when they had found nothing? What happened to them thirty years ago? How did they evacuate?
This series of questions is simply stuffed with a superb brain, for him. A bunch of questions from the past have not been answered, but now a bunch of new ones have emerged, and there is no doubt that he is getting deeper and deeper.
While Gao Chao and Xia Qing were diligent in thinking, it seemed that only the fat man and Acei didn't care so much about these things.
For the fat man, it seems that this mission has not yet begun. Because his attention is completely on the upcoming Tomb of the Western Night King, that is his goal, and the only thing he cares about, and now they are only halfway, so according to the fat man's thoughts, they really shouldn't worry about the Soviet convoy thirty years ago, what they should do is to eat and drink enough, adjust their mentality, don't wait until the Tomb of the Western Night King, half of the brain cells are dead.
Similar to the fat man, Aseti didn't care about the Soviet convoy, nor was he interested in the things that happened here thirty years ago, he had always maintained a certain state of excitement, he seemed to be more keen to find the tomb of the Western Night King as soon as possible, so every day that passed, he seemed to be a little more excited than the day before, so that along the way, only he and the fat man talked and laughed, which also made the journey of the four of them seem a lot easier.
Time is always longer in a boring place.
They walked on the Pamir plateau for a few days, as if it had been a few years, the sun was scorching during the day, and the strong ultraviolet rays burned their skin unconsciously, but it could not bring them a trace of warmth, and the wind in the Pamirs was still raging, the direction of the wind was always changing, with fine sand, like a pervasive virus, burrowing into their clothes, backpacks, and even their mouths.
When it was time to rest at night, they also talked less and less, and the behavior of human beings in the extreme environment was completely a natural state, with no language, no emotions, only a tired body, and when they came into contact with the cold sleeping bag, it barely took a minute for all four of them to fall asleep immediately.
After a few days of confusion, finally in the evening of one day, Gao Chao, who was walking in the front, stopped.
He was so tired, and the huge backpack on his shoulders made him look a little thin.
The complexion on his face had turned reddish-brown, which was caused by ultraviolet rays, and he squinted his eyes and used his hand to pull the long wind-blown hair on his forehead, and there were some wrinkles on his face.
He stopped, but no one behind him noticed his actions.
They were still far away, and none of them would react to his sudden stop, and along the way, I don't know how many times he had stopped like this, they were all very tired.
Gao Chao stood beside the rubble of a truck, he squinted and stared ahead, his lips were already chapped, and the water they were carrying was about to run out, he was indeed tired, but this time he stopped, not because he wanted to rest for a while.
He suddenly turned around and looked at them behind him, he trembled a little, and couldn't help but shout in a hoarse voice: "...... ahead"
He coughed incessantly as he uttered only two words, and for the first time in the day, they had all gone forward in silence.
He coughed dryly twice before shouting loudly again: "The car team in front has come to an end." ”
