Chapter 853: Haizi
The three men immediately returned to the car and began to inspect the driver's seat.
They found that the most suspicious thing in the cab was the half bottle of water placed next to Xiao Wang.
Gao Chao noticed that this bottle of water was uniformly equipped by the troops, and it was plastic bottled water, but it was very strange that this bottle of water was not capped, that is, when Gao Chao found this bottle of water, the bottle of water was still open.
Da Liu touched his chin and said, "Is it because this bottle of water is not capped, something got in?" ”
Gao Chao nodded and said, "There is a possibility." ”
Xiaoyanagi also said: "That's strange, why doesn't he drink water with a lid?" ”
Gao Chao said: "Maybe it's because Xiao Wang has to drive, he needs to concentrate, and if he screws the cap every time he drinks water, it will be very dangerous." ”
Da Liu nodded and said: "It makes sense, it should be like this, it seems that that thing may have been drilled into Xiao Wang's mouth." ”
Xiao Yanagi quickly closed his mouth when he heard this, and looked around nervously, for fear that something would get into his mouth like this.
Gao Chao said: "But we can no longer take it lightly, in addition to the possibility of water, there may be other factors, so from now on, no matter what we do, we must have a principle, that is, we can't eat or drink casually, and we can't act alone." ”
Da Liu nodded and said, "Listen to you, Lao Gao." ”
All three of them are soldiers, and in the face of such crises and difficulties, no one still proposes to end the mission, which is very gratifying, although he bears great pressure in his heart, but he understands a truth, no matter how dangerous it is, he must complete this mission, because for him, what he is now bearing on his shoulders is not his personal feelings, but the safety of the whole country.
From the three-element array to the crisis in Badain Jarin, none of these things seem to have anything to do with him, but he is working hard because of this, why is this? The reason is very simple, if there is no country, how can there be a home?
Gao Chao knows that his current dedication is to dedicate himself to his parents, and he understands this truth, so he can face endless pressure.
The three of them buried Wang's body and Pony's body separately and marked them, hoping to return and bring them back to the army in the future.
Da Liu took some martyrs' souvenirs from both of them, and he cried and told Gao Chao that he hoped that he could hand over these martyrs' relics to their families, hoping that their families would be relieved by this.
Gao Chao finally couldn't hold back his tears, he told Da Liu that he hoped he could go with him, and of course, Xiao Liu also had this idea.
But Koyanagi is still relatively young, and he has always been worried about whether he will be able to return alive.
Gao Chao looked at the frightened Xiaoyanagi, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while, because he had said before that he would let them all go back alive, but he didn't expect that within an hour of saying this, he had already lost two comrades.
In the end, it was Da Liu who was more direct, went up and gave Xiao Liu two mouths and a kick, and told Xiao Liu that if he was a soldier, he should not be afraid of death, or he would go back now and wait for the military trial.
Gao Chao looked at them very sadly, but he didn't have anything to say, sacrificing his life for the country was what any soldier should be prepared for.
The three of them hit the road again, this time driven by Da Liu, and continued to their destination.
After the bizarre incident just now, they had been delayed for about three hours, so by the time they arrived at the designated place, it was already dark.
As soon as the sun rose over the horizon, Gao Chao had already felt the scorching heat of this desert, and soon, the temperature rose to more than 30 degrees, and the three of them immediately took off their warm clothes last night and hung all their equipment from the car.
Because of Gao Chao's leg injury, Gao Chao had the least equipment on his body, and he was only hanging a rifle, and the three of them began to look for the so-called "ghost hole" in the sand dunes in front of them.
However, their situation was the same, after two hours of arduous searching, they found nothing, no suspicious traces, so to speak, there seemed to be nothing here except the occasional critter that appeared on the dunes, not even the aura of horror.
However, it was already noon, which was what Gao Chao was worried about, and his previous plan was to find the entrance to the ghost cave at night, and then form a team of three to enter it, leaving two soldiers outside the cave, only in this way could it be foolproof.
But now he didn't expect that the plan had not changed quickly, and sure enough, as he imagined, everything could not be planned and acted upon.
Not only did they not arrive here in the dark, but they also lost two of their comrades, and now the three of them are facing a scorching desert, a desert of death.
The temperature has quickly reached more than 40 degrees, and even touching the sand with your hands will feel hot.
Gao Chao gave the order, and the three of them temporarily returned to the car to standby, first to maintain their strength, and wait until it was dark to continue the operation.
The temperature in the car is also very high, fortunately their water is enough, but the problem is that drinking water is simply a psychological torture, as long as they think about Xiao Wang's experience, they will feel that they don't want to drink water and eat, because they are worried that something will get into their stomachs.
But when people are hungry and thirsty, they can't care so much, so they finally came up with a solution, which is to drink water, drink the whole bottle of water in one go, so that it will not be wasted, and it will not allow the invisible enemy to take advantage of it.
After lunch, the three of Gao Chao took turns on duty, letting the other two rest and wait for the arrival of the night.
But at about two o'clock in the afternoon, that is, when it was the hottest, suddenly Da Liu, who was on duty, woke up Gao Chao beside him.
Gao Chao was very alert, and when he got up, he felt on the gun, ready to maneuver to respond.
But Da Liu grabbed Gao Chao and whispered: "Old Gao, don't be nervous, I'm ...... I just saw something strange. ”
Gao Chao blinked: "Strange thing? What is it? ”
Da Liu pointed out the window of the car and said, "Lao Gao, take a look, am I dazzled, over there...... Is there a sea over there? ”
The Haizi mentioned by Da Liu is actually a lake in the desert, and in this desert of Badain Jarin, as Xinlan said before, there will often be some Haizi.
Gao Chao looked at this time, and really saw a water area reflecting the sun from a distance, but in this desert, they clearly remembered that there was nothing there.
At this time, Xiaoyanagi also woke up, and also looked over there, so he rubbed his eyes and said, "It can't be a mirage, right?" Maybe the sea is still far away. ”
Da Liu sighed and said: "It should be, I remember in the morning, we looked around, there was nothing, why did it suddenly appear now, it is estimated that it is really a mirage." ”
However, at this time, Gao Chao suddenly remembered what Xinlan had said to him.
Xinlan told Gao Chao that in the desert of Badain Jarin, there is a legend that there is a kind of sea that can run, they can move, and no one knows where these sea children will go.
Thinking of this, Gao Chao suddenly had a feeling that if there was really a moving Haizi here, maybe it was inextricably linked to the ancient buildings underground.
So Gao Chao immediately said to Da Liu next to him: "Let's go, drive, go over and have a look." ”
Da Liu was stunned at first, but immediately responded: "Yes, Lao Hu." ”
The vehicle started again, hurtling over the dunes, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The sun was scorching, shining on the sand as if it were shining on a mirror, and the reflected sunlight was shining on the faces of the three of them, and soon they were all bronzed.
However, the eyes of these three men were all fixed on the sea in the distance.
The cars kept rising and falling, and the sea kept disappearing from their sight, and then reappeared.
It wasn't until they were only ten meters away from the seemingly void sea that Gao Chao shouted: "Stop!" ”
Da Liu braked suddenly, but drew a distance of more than ten meters on the sand, and then with a "whoosh", the water was splashed, and even wet their clothes.
It was only at this time that Da Liu was the first to shout: "My grass, it's the real Haizi." ”
All three of them immediately jumped out of the car, and no longer caring about any danger, they all threw themselves into the water.
Maybe it's the suppressed emotions, maybe it's the scorching heat, who knows, anyway, all three of them seem to have become like children, jumping in the water and partying in the water.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that they regained their composure.
"Old Gao ......" Da Liu sat on the sand by the water, lit a cigarette, handed it to Gao Chao and said: "How do you know that this is not a mirage, I almost drove into the water just now." ”
Gao Chao took the cigarette, took two puffs and said: "I don't know, but I remembered something, someone told me that there is a moving Haizi here, I was thinking, maybe that legend is true." ”
Xiao Yanagi also came over at this time, rubbed a cigarette and said, "Don't say it, I've really heard of this kind of thing." ”
Da Liu pouted and said: "You don't brag, you've only been here for less than two years, and you've heard a fart." ”
Xiao Liu rolled his eyes and said: "Da Liu, although I have been here for a short time, not as long as you, but I am very popular, my friends are called more, I am not like you, I have a big face all day long, and everyone is afraid of you." ”
Da Liu glared: "I'm grass, who do you say is the big pie face?" ”
As he spoke, Da Liu grabbed Xiao Liu's neck and collar, as if he wanted to teach him a lesson.
Gao Chao hurriedly slapped his face and said, "Okay, okay, when is this happening, is there a bit of discipline?" ”
Da Liu let go of Xiao Liu at this time, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Lao Gao, my fault." ”
Xiao Liu also hurriedly said: "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't say that about Da Liu." ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both smiled embarrassedly, in fact, their relationship was usually very good.
Da Liu then said: "Xiaoliu, tell me, what have you heard?" ”
Xiaoliu nodded and said: "I was very familiar with a little nurse from the health team before, she told me that someone once saw a piece of sea in the desert, because there was nothing to do, a few little soldiers jumped in to swim, and as a result, they swam and swam, and the sea did not know why, and began to make waves, fortunately, several of them were not bad in water, and nothing happened, but when they climbed ashore, they found that the surrounding landscape had changed, and their clothes on the shore were gone, and finally judged the direction by the stars, It took a day and a night to find them back in the army, but those people had half their lives left, so the health team knew about it. ”
Da Liu was surprised and said, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
Xiaoliu nodded: "Then what do you think, so maybe, you look at the sea in front of us, maybe it is also the kind of sea that can run, because we can look around very carefully in the morning, who saw this sea?" ”
Gao Chao also said at this time: "Indeed, there is absolutely nothing here, so maybe, this place is really a moving Haizi." ”
Da Liu said at this time: "But what if you can move, alas, it has nothing to do with our ghost cave, let's cool down here for a while at most, and then we have to go back to find it." ”
Gao Chao thought for a while and said: "It doesn't necessarily matter, from the perspective of feng shui, water is a very important element, if I can know the laws of the movement of these seas, I will definitely be able to find the ancient buildings underground." ”
Da Liu looked at Gao Chao and said, "What? Lao Gao, do you know feng shui? ”
Xiao Liu was also surprised and said: "Amazing, Lao Gao, no wonder our Shangguan chief trusts you so much, it turns out that you have this specialty?" ”
Gao Chao nodded and said, "Well, I can rely on feng shui to find some ancient tombs, so ......"
He was about to speak and explain briefly, but at this moment, the sea in front of the three of them, somehow, the water suddenly receded, like a low tide, and at the same time, before there was no wind, the water surface of the sea had begun to ripple.
Gao Chao reacted immediately, and he didn't have time to think anymore, he shouted directly: "Comrades, quick, take your equipment and jump into the water!" ”
