Chapter 843: A Series of Questions
As soon as Xia Qing said this, Gao Chao was stunned.
"You...... What did you say? What does this place have to do with your dad? Gao Chao even felt that he had heard it wrong, this place and Xinlan's father, these two didn't seem to have anything to do with each other.
But Xinlan smiled weirdly: "Didn't I tell you before?" In the northwest of the Badain Jaran Desert is China's nuclear test range, so think about it, what will be in this test range? ”
Gao Chao was stunned and said, "What can there be?" It's a barren place. ”
Xinlan pouted and said, "Dead eyes, what kind of barrenness?" There's a mysterious force there. ”
As a result, when Xinlan said this, Gao Chao's heart suddenly shook, the troops in Badain Jilin, which reminded him of another place he had been to before, the mysterious troops in Luo Bu Naoer.
And that mysterious unit is also inextricably linked to the nuclear test range, and not only that, but there seems to be a very complicated connection between that unit and the 101st Institute.
But now, it is very likely that they are in Badain Jarin, and it is very likely that it is the nuclear test range in the northwestern part of Badain Jarin, which is not covered by satellites, and if so, it will definitely involve the troops.
So, is this mysterious force also connected to 101? But Gao Chao felt a little strange, Xinlan's father seemed to have something to do with this army, but Xinlan was not from the 101 Institute, she was a member of the Ninth Bureau, but the Ninth Bureau was an unreal one, or through some arrangement of Hua Ye, such an organization suddenly appeared, could it be that this army would still have a connection with Hua Ye?
Or maybe it's just a masterful idea.
Xinlan looked at Gao Chao in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Gao, what do you want?" Did I say something wrong? ”
Gao Chao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, Xinlan, I'm just thinking about ...... Did your father work in the army around here? ”
Xinlan nodded and said, "You finally understand, my father is not only in this army, but he rarely even leaves this army, so he should always be here, which is why he is rarely with our family." ”
Hearing her say this, Gao Chao hurriedly asked, "What about ...... What does Ling Zun do? ”
Xinlan smiled and said, "Didn't I say it?" This area is his territory, so guess what my dad does? ”
Gao Chao was stunned and said, "Could it be that your father is the head of this army?" ”
Xinrant said proudly: "Of course, for as long as I can remember, my father has been the commander, but then I don't know why, he was suddenly transferred to work here, so it has always been a small gathering and a lot of separation, and it is not easy." ”
As she spoke, Xinlan sighed, and it could be seen that she seemed to miss the times when her family was reunited.
Gao Chao was thinking about other issues, the reason for this is a little complicated, first of all, Xinlan turned out to be a child of the chief's family, which Gao Chao did not expect, because it seems that her young lady's temper is not so prominent, Gao Chao thinks, this may also have something to do with family education.
There is also the fact that Xinlan's current identity is also a little complicated, because Xinlan is the closest person to Hua Ye, to put it bluntly, no matter which time and space it is, Xinlan seems to be the one who knows Hua Ye's internal affairs best, that is to say, among the core members of the Ninth Bureau, Xinlan is definitely one.
But if this is the case, what does it have to do with Xinlan's father, and the army managed by Xinlan's father?
There is also this unit, they say that it is a nuclear test in the no-man's land in the northwest of Badain Jarin, but that is a long time ago, it is said that the most recent nuclear test here was also in the late eighties, so for so many years, this unit has not even been evacuated, and it is still working here, especially as Xinlan said, his father and their family get together less and leave more, and they can't leave this area all day, which shows a problem, This force is definitely not as simple as Xinlan imagined.
Therefore, I am afraid that none of these questions faced by Gao Chao can be answered now.
And what he is most concerned about now is not actually these possible questions, but where they are now.
Because the two locations that Xinlan mentioned before are not covered by satellites, this is just a hypothesis, China is so vast, is there only such two places that will not be covered? What if there is a third, fourth? So are they really in Badain Jarrin?
Of course, even in Badain Jarin, he is very helpless now, first of all, where is their location, is the position in Badain Jarin, then, in this position, they are now in a large ancient tomb.
But the ancient tomb belongs to the ancient tomb, which has nothing to do with Gao Chao and Xinlan's mission, what they need to find is an ancient tomb in the Great Xing'an Mountains, and that ancient tomb has what they need.
But now, they can only fight for survival in this desert of Badain Jarin, and for the task that may be completed, it can only be solved by Xia Qing and the fat man.
But what is the current situation of Xia Qing and the fat man? This is really not known.
Therefore, Gao Chao thought for a long time with a sad face before saying a word to Xinlan next to him.
"Xinlan, we have to go out now, we have to make sure if we are really in Badain Jarin." This is the only thing that Gao Chao thought of now.
Originally, he was going to find out if there was a place to enter the ancient tomb, but now it seems that there is no need for it, even if it is an ancient tomb, what is the use? Do you want to find an exit back to the Great Khing'an Mountains in the ancient tomb? Although Gao Chao also thought about it, he felt that it was unlikely, because he felt that it was an absolute miracle that they could come here from that "wormhole", so don't think about another miracle in a very short period of time, because it is completely impossible, and what it brings is likely to be just a disaster.
So Gao Chao can only accept the reality now, and try to use the simplest way to confirm where this place is, and then make countermeasures.
Xinlan looked very optimistic, she seemed to be very relaxed and said: "Brother Gao, don't worry, as long as I look at the scenery around here, I can judge whether it is Badain Jarin or not." ”
Gao Chao glanced at her and said, "Are you so sure?" ”
Xinlan nodded and said: "Of course, I can say that, although I have not lived in Badain Jarin, but I grew up looking at pictures in that desert, let's put it this way, one of my dad's favorite things to do is to show me all kinds of beautiful scenery in Badain Jaran that he has taken, so I have a strange emotion for the desert since I was a child, that is, love and hate." ”
Gao Chao was stunned and said, "Love and hate? What does this say? ”
Xinlan smiled bitterly and said: "I love it because I think Badain Jarin is really beautiful, whether it is the morning sun or the sunset, it seems to be a paradise here, it is the kind of vast beauty that human beings can't imagine, like an independent small universe, in fact, I can't describe it very well, it's just that feeling." ”
Gao Chao nodded, he seemed to understand Xinlan's description, and then he asked again, "Then why hate?" ”
Xinlan sighed and said, "Because it's so beautiful, it actually snatched my father." ”
Looking at Xinlan's eyes, there seemed to be an indescribable sadness, Gao Chao's heart suddenly soured, Gao Chao understood this feeling, it was a kind of regret, maybe regret will make people helpless and painful, but regret can also bring people another precious thing, that is, "cherish".
If there is no black, there will be no white, if there is no evil, maybe there will be no good, if there is no hell, the natural paradise will also lose its brilliance, so if there are not so many regrets, human beings will not know how to cherish it.
Gao Chao looked at Xinlan for a long time before he said, "I think this may really be the desert that you hate." ”
Xinlan was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?" ”
Gao Chao helplessly pointed to the sky above, and then said with a wry smile: "Don't you feel it?" Temperatures have already started to rise. ”
There is no doubt that the temperature has indeed begun to rise.
At this moment, the patio where they were had begun to slowly heat up, and the cold feeling that had been brought from the Great Khing'an Mountains before was now completely gone, replaced by a hot and scorching heat.
It didn't take long for Gao Chao and Xinlan to feel that this patio was like Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, and when they were still trying to climb out of here, the temperature had already exceeded 30 degrees Celsius.
Helpless, they can only take off the original thermal clothing on their bodies, and the rest is only a single piece of long clothes and long sleeves, because Gao Chao has the experience of surviving in the desert, he told Xinlan that in the desert, no skin can be exposed, and it is best to wrap yourself tightly, so that you can survive longer.
So they traveled lightly, took only the necessary things, and the two of them helped each other to the side of the stone wall in the shade.
According to Gao Chao's initial imagination, there must be gaps between the marble slabs on the ground, so he thought maybe he could try to go down.
But when they thought about it again, Gao Chao felt that the goal now was to see how to determine what kind of place this was, whether it was the so-called Badain Jaran Desert, and if so, what they needed now was actually good medical care, because Gao Chao's leg could never be delayed any longer.
Therefore, Gao Chao needs to find a way to use his knowledge of Feng Shui to determine where they might go out.
Coming to the stone wall, Gao Chao seemed to start rethinking because the temperature around him had dropped a little. He suddenly looked at the patio and thought of something, but he suddenly shook his head to himself, because he felt that what he had just thought of might not help them in any way.
According to the masterful idea, the place where they are now is a patio, and in the case of patios, there is an important feature, that is, the need for a drainage system.
Because it is very simple, the patio is all open-air, so if it rains in the sky, it must involve how the rainwater should be discharged, so if there is also a drainage system here, for such a large area of a natural patio, then you must find a way out through the drainage system.
But he was a little depressed, because the heat of the weather probably meant that they were really in the Badain Jaran Desert, imagine what the rainfall in the desert was? Do you need a drainage system in the desert?
Gao Chao laughed helplessly.
Xinlan, who was on the side, saw it and asked Gao Chao: "Brother Gao, what are you laughing at?" ”
Gao Chao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I feel like I'm already a little confused, it's okay." ”
Gao Chao didn't want to say this to Xinlan, but Xinlan frowned and said: "Brother Gao, this is not good, you have to share everything you think of with me, what the two of us need now is a collision, only the collision of ideas can have some ideas to be thought of, this is a very critical issue, when the US military encounters problems on the battlefield, they allow the soldiers with the lowest rank to speak directly to the commander, which is a good tradition." ”
Gao Chao shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Okay, my commander, I have a very stupid idea now, do you want to hear it?" ”
Xinlan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, I will allow you to speak." ”
Gao Chao said helplessly: "That's right, I was thinking, if it rains a lot in this place, maybe I can find a drainage system, and then we can get out of there, but I suddenly realized that we might be in the desert, so I think this idea is too stupid." ”
Xinlan suddenly looked at Gao Chao and said, "My God, who told you that this idea is stupid?" It seems that Comrade Gao Chao, you really don't know much about the Badain Jaran Desert, I can tell you very responsibly that in the Badain Jaran Desert, it often rains, and the average rainfall of this kind is not low, there are several very strange phenomena here, which are also related to rain. ”
Gao Chao was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses: "Really? That...... Then you should hurry up and talk about it. ”
