Chapter 10: The Last Supply Depot

When we think about it, we also think that these ancient desert countries basically disappeared suddenly, and there is not even a trace of historical material left, as if someone deliberately concealed all this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And the weirdest thing is that around these ancient countries, strange things often happen, people go there, either die mysteriously, or disappear mysteriously, and it's really weird.

Although our target this time is not the weird Exquisite Ancient City, but when we think of the strange things that happened in the Exquisite Ancient City, we can't help but worry, and I'm really afraid that something like that will happen in the Ancient Kingdom of Loulan.

Recently, the desert has been full of wind and sand, and the ancient country of Loulan was flooded by yellow sand all of a sudden, disappeared without a trace, and suddenly appeared under the sun, and I don't know how lucky we are this time, will we find the ruins of ancient Loulan, I really hope that I can't find it, in that case, there will be no many changes.

We chatted about strange things in the desert along the way, and time flew by, and soon at three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Feiyu told us that the gravel road was coming to an end, and at the end of the road was the last supply station, where all our food and water would be replenished.

After about an hour, we finally saw the supply station, which was very small, only two rows of houses, but all red brick houses, very sturdy. The house was surrounded by a barbed wire fence, and the entrance and exit were guarded by soldiers, and from time to time people came in and out of it.

When we got there, we were supposed to register, but after Tan Jia showed the documents sent from above, everything became much easier. The first row of houses in the depot was for those who were serving as soldiers, and the other row was for passing travelers.

The house was huge, we asked for a total of three rooms, locked everything in the room, and under the leadership of Liu Feiyu, we went to the store at the supply station to buy the things we needed. The store was run by the staff of the supply station, and the scale was okay, although the price was a little expensive, but those things were brought in from outside, and the cost cost was a lot, and it was reasonable to be a little more expensive.

Liu Feiyu told us that when traveling in the desert, it is best to bring less dry food and more food, such as eight-treasure porridge and milk, which are not only watery foods, but also easy to import. We walked around the room, bought everything, and then we all went back to our rooms.

At this time, night had fallen, and because there was only one bed in the room, Biaozi and I opened the floor, and the only bed was given to Professor Zhang. Professor Zhang seemed to be very worried about this action, sitting on the bed smoking cigarette after cigarette, not knowing what was in mind, and sighing from his mouth.

Biaozi and I couldn't sleep for a while, and when we saw Professor Zhang like this, I asked him why he became so worried, Professor Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "After listening to what Xiao Yu said yesterday, I was thinking repeatedly, is the ancient country of Loulan the same as the exquisite ancient city, and it is also a forbidden place for the living?" And there are too many strange things happening in these two places, I'm afraid it's not as simple as we imagined, and I'm really worried that our operation will change this time. ”

Although the matter of the Exquisite Ancient City is just to hear, but the strange things in it really make people chill, I really can't figure out the reason, is it really the rumored that everything is just a curse of the Absolute Queen? And what about the ancient kingdom of Loulan? Could there be such a curse?

Biaozi said disapprerovingly: "What kind of bullshit curse, these things can't be believed at all, the biggest reason why those people became crazy and terrifying is that the evil spirits in the ancient tomb have taken on their bodies." You can rest assured, with me, the exorcist master, those evil spirits don't need to be taken to heart at all, Biao Ye and I can solve them in a few minutes. ”

I shook my head and said, "It's not so much that I'm most worried about, but the sudden arrival of wind and sand. Those storms didn't come sooner or later, but they came when someone entered the ruins of the ancient city, and they came so completely that they buried everything, which is really incomprehensible. ”

Professor Zhang nodded: "My biggest worry is this, those storms not only come quickly, but also have no warning at all, which makes people unguardable!" Hey, in front of nature, man is too small and powerless. ”

Biaozi said with a slight annoyance: "So what? Tell the two of you, if you don't want to die of corpse poison in three years, this Loulan Guguo said that you have to go there, who called the underwater tomb involved here? Don't think about things so badly, maybe it's just luck, not only will we be fine this time, but we can also find the secret recipe in the ancient city to unravel the corpse poison on our bodies. ”

Biaozi doesn't talk about this, we really haven't thought about it, what he said is not unreasonable, now the three of us have been poisoned by corpses, if we don't go to the ancient country of Loulan to find a way to crack it, then we can only wait for death, if we go, there is still a glimmer of hope, so there is no room for maneuver in this matter at all, and we can only go all the way to the dark.

After chatting for a while, Biaozi and Professor Zhang came sleepy, and they fell asleep not long after. I was also about to go to bed, when I suddenly heard someone outside the door whispering: "Big brother, those foreigners don't know why, they actually left overnight, what should we do now?" ”

After waiting for a while, a cold voice replied, "If you want to run, it's not that easy." Go and inform the brothers, we will also leave overnight, and we must not let that group of foreigners escape. ”

This conversation is really a bit strange, listening to the meaning, the two people outside the door seem to have brought a group of people, and their purpose is to follow a group of foreigners. Suddenly, I was struck by a wit, and I only felt that the voice of the person behind me was somewhat familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere, and it was something recent.

My drowsiness disappeared all of a sudden, and after thinking about it carefully, I remembered, yes, that cold voice was very similar to the sound we heard in An'an'er's house, probably the same person. Thinking of this, I immediately got up, put on my coat, and went to the door.

I listened for a while by the door, and it was quiet outside, and the two men seemed to be gone. I gently opened the door and looked left and right, under the bright moon, everything seemed very bright, but I didn't see a person around. Disappointed, he wanted to go back to sleep, but when he glanced at it, he saw a dark shadow walking towards the fence of the supply depot, as if trying to get out of there.

My mind was in a mess for a moment, and I couldn't understand why the gang didn't go out through the doorway, but they had to sneak out of the fence as if they couldn't see anyone. I felt more and more strange about the group, and I wondered who they were, but it was night, and my eyes couldn't see much at all.

Curiosity came, where else to care, I tiptoed towards the group, about fifteen meters away from them, I stopped, because there was no cover in front of me, if I went a little further, they would definitely be discovered. I hid in the shadows, quietly watching the group, not even daring to come out.

I counted 16 people in that group, most of them were Uyghurs, and only five were Han Chinese, but what is strange is that in such a ratio, their leader is a fierce one-eyed dragon Han man. They all seemed to be good, and they climbed up the two-meter-high iron fence almost effortlessly, and what made me even more admired was that they didn't make a single sound during the period.

At this time, it may be that those soldiers have come to patrol here, and the light of several flashlights began to shoot in this direction. The one-eyed dragon's face turned cold, and he gestured to the remaining men, and immediately four people touched their waists, but what they pulled out was a pistol.

I was shocked, I didn't expect this group of people to be so bold, and they still had guns with them, no wonder they didn't dare to go out through the main entrance, there were people at the door to check, if they were found to be carrying guns, then what would it be? But how did they get the guns into the supply depot? Did they also come in over the iron fence? I think that's a great possibility.

Looking at the posture of this group, it seems that once they are discovered by those soldiers, they will not hesitate to open fire, which is simply extremely bold. At this time, everyone else climbed over the iron fence, and the four people who were watching the wind below were also about to leave, but unexpectedly, a beam of light shone directly over there, and the four people were exposed at once.

I heard someone shouting behind me, "What man, what are you doing there?" "I looked back and saw two soldiers approaching this way with rifles in hand.

The four people watching the wind below did not panic, and ignored the shouts behind them, and immediately began to climb up the iron fence. These people were very skilled, and after only a few seconds, two more people had flipped over, and the remaining two had already climbed to the top of the fence, and with a slight jump, they could escape.

Probably seeing that the other party was carrying a firearm, the two soldiers shouted "Stop!" Seeing that the other party turned a deaf ear and was about to jump out of the fence, the two soldiers couldn't hold back any longer and immediately opened fire.

Under the light of the flashlight, the two men on the fence were undoubtedly a live target, and one of them was hit by a bullet in the back of the head on the spot, and he let out a scream and fell from the iron fence. The other was also shot in the arm, but he didn't care about anything, jumped off the fence as soon as he jumped over, and ran away.

The two soldiers came running in a straight line towards me, and seeing that there was no way to hide, I had to step out of the shadows. When they saw me suddenly appear, they were obviously startled, raised their rifles at me, and shouted, "Stand still, who are you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." I immediately raised my hands, pointed at the person who had been killed, and smiled: "I'm not in the same group as them, but I just happened to pass by here." ”

The two soldiers, apparently not convinced, let one watch me while the other went to examine the deceased. It may have been that the night was too quiet, and the sound of the rifle woke the others, and in a short time a few more soldiers arrived after hearing the news, as well as some explorers who lived here.

These people looked very embarrassed when they saw me raising their hands, and their eyes revealed a look of doubt, but fortunately, there was a soldier who knew me, and he said to several other comrades: "This is Miss Tan's person, there should be no problem, you let him go first." ”

The soldier who looked at me seemed to know Tan Jia, and when he heard that I was her person, he nodded again and again and said sorry, I smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I said, all this is a misunderstanding, I don't know the gang just now." ”

The soldiers exchanged words and words, and at the command of one of the leaders, carried the dead man away, and comforted everyone to go back to sleep, all of which was an accident. The group of people who came to see the excitement were obviously a little confused, but it was none of their business, and after watching the excitement, naturally there was nothing to do with them.

The team leader dismissed the crowd, turned back to me and smiled, "Come with me to the office and talk, you must know something, don't you?" I nodded noncommittally, thinking that you are really an old fox, and you can see it.

I entered the office with the front foot, and Tan Jia and the others rushed over with the back foot and said hello to the team leader, Tan Jia asked me: "Yang Feiyun, what happened, could it be that the gunshot just now has something to do with you?" ”

I shook my head with a wry smile and told everyone what I had just seen, and I said, "Those people are all good, and the leader is a one-eyed dragon, and I suspect that it is the mysterious group we met outside An'an'er's house." And the group of foreigners they followed, I suspect is the same group of people I met in the massage parlor. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yishan said: "Why are you so sure, there are more foreigners who come to the desert to explore, maybe it's another group of people?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, I heard the meaning of the one-eyed dragon's words, and that group of foreigners also left overnight, so they followed." If my guess is correct, the foreigners, like the one-eyed dragons, slipped out of the fence, because they also had guns on them, and they didn't dare to go out through the main entrance. ”

The leader of the team happened to be on duty at the gate at night, and when he heard me say this, he seemed to think of something, so he said: "What you said is very reasonable, before this incident, a dozen foreigners left the supply station with camels and walked in a hurry. I thought it was strange at the time, when they were registering, there were more than 20 people, why were there only a dozen people when they left? At the time, I was a little strange, but I just thought they were going in two batches, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But now that I think about it, they must have been afraid that we would find out what guns they were carrying, so another group of people climbed out of the fence with guns. ”

Tan Jia pondered for a while and said, "Other things are easy to understand, but why did the One-Eyed Dragon group follow behind that group of foreigners?" ”

After discussing for a long time, he couldn't analyze the purpose of the one-eyed dragon's group, at this time Liu Feiyu smiled and said: "You don't have to guess, if my analysis is not wrong, the one-eyed dragon's group is a bandit in this desert, and following that group of foreigners, they may be looking for an opportunity to make money and kill them." In the past two years, such things have been common. ”

After thinking about it carefully, only Liu Feiyu's explanation is passable, but this is better, let them kill each other, it's not a good thing anyway, and they deserve to die.

Early the next morning, at dawn, we said hello to the soldiers, led the camels and left the supply station. Liu Feiyu was right, out of the supply station, not far ahead, the gravel road under our feet came to an end, we had to walk through the desert.

Stepping on the soft yellow sand and facing the fierce sun, we led the camels towards the endless sea of sand. On the road, we can see the tall cactus from time to time, and the skeletons of some beasts that have died of thirst on the road, but we never see a single family again, which reveals the cruelty of the desert and the endless desolation.

But on this day, our journey was very smooth, nothing bad happened during the period, and we walked a hundred miles in one go. Of course, we can't travel this far on our feet alone, and those camels are the real heroes. Don't look at the camels who usually look very lazy, but when they get to the desert, they seem to have changed their temperament, their hooves are like flying, and the speed of sprinting has reached 20 kilometers per hour.

We rode our camels and looked around, seeing that dusk was approaching, hoping to find a sheltered place to set up our tents at night. Unexpectedly, I found that there was a small black dot 100 meters away in front of me, and when I got closer, I realized that it was actually an off-road vehicle.

The buggy looked new, and it was spotlessly clean, probably having only recently arrived. Curious, we slowly leaned over and found that the buggy had broken down in the sand. Inside the buggy, we found a woman in a white casual suit, but no matter how much we knocked on the glass, she didn't react at all, and we suspected that she had been killed.

We don't understand why this woman is so bold and dares to drive alone into the depths of this desert, she is simply looking for death. However, we soon discovered that there were many tools in the trunk of the SUV, all for exploration, and a few cigarettes, so it was clear that our previous judgment was wrong, and the woman must have been accompanied by a companion, but she did not know where she had gone.

Tan Jia glanced at the surrounding environment and decided to set up camp here, but at this time, Liu Dapeng shouted excitedly to us: "You all come over to take a look, it seems that the woman is not dead." ”

When we heard the news, we rushed over and looked through the glass window, and sure enough, the woman's mouth kept opening and closing, as if she was saying something. Tan Jia frowned and said, "This woman just fainted for a while, so quickly open the car window and wake her up." (To be continued.)
