Chapter Eighty-Five: The Ghost of the Desert

I got up early the next morning, I took a hot shower first, because maybe there will be no more opportunities to take a bath in the next few days, considering the next difficult journey, everyone ate a rich breakfast, the second master went to replenish the food and water, this time with a lot of water, because it entered the Lop Nur no man's land in front of me, and then it was difficult to replenish water, the whole car was full, several of us were crammed into a car, it was very uncomfortable to sit, but considering that we would soon reach the destination, so everyone could persevere.

On the way to Lop Nur, the road is no longer flat, all of them are flattened by saline-alkali land, the road is very bumpy along the way, and it is impossible to sleep again, at this time Xia Qi asked about the story of Peng Jiamu, because I was driving, so the second master told her about it.

The second master coughed his throat, and then began to speak, speaking of this Pengjiamu has to start with a supernatural event that year, as early as ten years before the turmoil, probably between 1957 and 1962, something happened in the northwest of China, it is said that at that time Lop Nur found the ruins of an ancient city, some young people wanted to go to find some antiquities, and then I don't know what happened there, those young people died, crazy crazy. It is said that those crazy people look like ghosts, but they are not. The insane were so active that they all died of exhaustion, and an autopsy revealed an unknown toxin in their bodies and an unknown plant in their stomachs, which drove the survivors insane.

These madmen have worn out their feet, which means they are unconscious. Even more shocking is that they brought back some rubbings and fragments of some ancient ornaments, some investigations had already begun at the time, but they were not sufficient. Then ** broke out, the state administration was actually paralyzed, and the matter was put on hold.

**After the end, the military first proposed to continue the investigation, so they sent an investigation team to find out the truth, the members of this team have some people in the army, there are some civilian masters, the second master is estimated to be some experienced Tufuzi and the like, and some physics experts and plant experts, the country considered that the plant in the stomach should be a scarce plant, people may enhance their physique after eating, develop potential, if they can really master the medicinal properties, it may have a very big improvement on the strength of the army, Similar to the Super Soldier program during World War II, Pengamu is the leader of this team, and he is also a very good biochemist at that time, it is said that after hard exploration, they finally found the ruins of the ancient city, and that magical plant, and collected a lot of precious information, but on the way back, due to the lack of water resources carried, everyone was trapped in the desert, strangely, Pengamu went alone to find water and broke away from the team, but when the rescuers looked for him again, only his footprints were found, His body was not found, he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, there are many legends about him, but they are all speculations by everyone, and no one knows what really happened.

"So what the hell happened to them? Didn't the people who came back say? Xia Qi asked strangely.

"When they went, there were a lot of people, but there were not many people who came back, one of them was seriously injured, and he died soon after, what happened at that time, no one knows, because as soon as those people came back, they were taken by the military to an unknown place, and the news was blocked, in short, there are a lot of weird legends here, let's all be careful." The second master said.

"So horrible, huh? Can we stop going? Xia Qi said a little scared after hearing this.

"Big sister, do you think it's a joke? Just go? The fat man said on the side.

"Cut! What's the big deal, it's a big deal, and I'm not afraid. Xia Qi said loudly, it seems that this stubborn temper has come up again.

"Yo, it's quite backbone, don't be scared to pee your pants when you meet a desert corpse." The fat man teased.

Xia Qi didn't say anything more, I suddenly braked suddenly, everyone was shaken, and the fat man shouted first, "Fuck, what are you doing?" ”

I looked ahead in a daze, "There was a tall figure just now, and I almost bumped into him in a flash!" ”

"! Where this bird doesn't poop, how can there be people? The fat man said angrily.

"Xiaotian, are you mistaken?" The second master asked with a frown.

"I did see it." I also looked at the second master strangely.

"Are you tired of driving, I'll take care of you for a while." Xie Xinyi said with a smile.

I rubbed my temples, and then said to Xie Xinyi, "Okay, you can open it for a while." Then he got out of the car.

After I switched places with Xie Xinyi, she started the car again, we continued to move forward, I looked at the time, it was close to twelve o'clock, the dawn was late on the Lop Nur side, and the darkness was relatively late, although it was almost twelve o'clock, but everyone was not hungry, so they continued to walk.

I was still thinking about what had just happened, and I was pretty sure I was right, because the speed of the car was not fast on this uneven saline ground, but strangely, the figure flashed by, and I never noticed his shadow again, what hell.

I remembered the story they told me just now, so I asked the second master, "Second master, did you say that the place we went to this time is related to the place where Peng Jiamu and they went?" ”

The second master pondered for a moment, "I don't know if there is any connection, but the location where we go should be near the location where he disappeared." ”

"What? Do you know that location? ”

"It's easy to find that location, it's all marked now, and there's one of his tombstones, so many people come here to pay their respects." The second master said with a smile.

In the following time, I joked with the fat man again, Xia Qi was ridiculed by the fat man just now, so he stopped talking, and he was playing with his mobile phone in anger, and it was estimated that he walked for another two hours, and we were all hungry, so we found a flat place and stopped to eat.

Lunch is relatively simple, large buckets of instant noodles, canned fish, and Xinjiang naan, we are not like other travelers, with their own pots, with vegetables, with large buckets of water, their own cooking, after all, generally come to Lop Nur, are along the highway through once, although that is also a great thing, but we have to do, to be much more difficult, we don't know how many days to stay here, so, we try to bring enough food and water, and occupy enough space, It is conceivable that life will be even more difficult in the future.

Fortunately, on the way, I met a convoy of self-driving tours, after seeing us, they also stopped for lunch, and they planned to cross Lop Nur all the way to Hami, and then went home, the itinerary has been set, and it is only two days, the food is more sufficient, when eating, they also invite us to eat together, they still think that we are short of supplies, we are not easy to say, followed by a hearty lunch, sometimes, in such a journey, people's hearts are as pure as this blue sky.

After lunch, we set out again, and the expedition invited us to go together, but halfway through, as we approached the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, we parted, because we wanted to see the tomb of Pengamu, and they were not interested, so we drove east along the fork, and they went north along the fork.

Near the evening, we finally arrived at the last place of Pengamu's disappearance, there is no mound here, only a small tombstone, we all came to the tombstone to worship, there are some photos and souvenirs buried by his family in front of the monument, and there are many mineral water left by the donkey friends who came to worship, but also in case there are people in danger again, you can get supplies from here, after the worship, the sunset has illuminated the red next door, full of eyes, all are orange, very beautiful, the second master said that he camped nearby, I'll do the next step tomorrow.
