Xiao Da Lip collapsed on the ground and almost fainted, and immediately inhaled vigorously and gasped wildly. Li Zimu handed over a bottle of water, and the four of them took turns to drink two sips before they felt a little better.

Xiao Da Lip lay on the ground and calmed down, looked around, and found that the sun was already shining in Yadan City, a round sunset was sticking to the ridge line of the desert in the distance, and the earth was lined with a dark and dark layer; At this moment, the desert waves supporting the setting sun were fixed, like a sleeping sea, and it seemed even more desolate and desolate.

In the past ten days since he came to Lop Nur, Xiao Da Li has also seen many sunsets, but he has never felt that this is so tragic, and he can't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart and full of emotion.

After a minute or two, the sound of the collapse on the other side of the valley gradually subsided, and then the city of Yadan fell into silence again.

Several people sat on the ground and looked at the valley in the distance for a long time without speaking, Xiao Da Li felt that his highly nervous spirit was finally relaxed now, but as soon as he slackened, he found that his physical strength had really reached the limit, and he had never been tired and sleepy, and the moment he sat in the sunset and stared at the valley, his brain was blank, he didn't bother to think about anything, he couldn't think of anything.

The seven men sat on the sand until nightfall, when the old horse set up a bonfire on the ground, and several people slowly gathered around the fire, looking at each other's faces red by the firelight. At this time, Li Zimu was the first to speak: "Where is Zha Muque?" ”

After asking, everyone turned their heads and looked at each other, and after looking at it for a long time, they found that they didn't check Muque's face, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and confirmed each other, still no.

At this time, everyone began to recall the previous scene in the valley, and in the middle of the sound, the old horse frowned: "This kid has been next to me before." But after the first explosion, I didn't see him again. ”

Li Zimu was stunned: "He didn't escape?" ”

"Impossible!" The dwarf was suddenly startled, "By the way, I remembered!" When you were lying down with those 'brains', I didn't see him, and subconsciously thought he was there! ”

As soon as the 'brain' was mentioned, everyone's stomachs began to turn upside down, and the hairs on their bodies stood up when they thought of the scene of that thing getting into their mouths. Xiao Da Yan thought of the blood snake that ran into the stomach of a person to lay eggs in the ancient ruins before, and couldn't help but think that this thing would not also leave anything in the stomach, but this thought flashed, and seeing that everyone was disgusting, he didn't dare to say it.

Li Zimu looked at Xue Jiao, and saw that Xue Jiao also shook his head, not like a perfunctory look, so he said: "I didn't see him at all after the explosion, and I subconsciously looked for him when I came out, but now I'm afraid it's more auspicious." ”

Xiao shook his head and said, "No, this guy is elusive, he has good skills, he must have a big life, and he won't die so easily." ”

The dwarf nodded, "I agree. ”

Li Zimu sighed, turned his head to look at Xue Jiao, and said, "Old Xue, now you can tell us, what is going on before and after?" Things happened so fast for a while, I was completely confused. ”

Bai Bing's mood was very low, and he couldn't fit into everyone's conversation at all, so he squatted aside and took some canned food with Lao Ma, boiled canned hot pot in the pot, and ordered instant noodles, and after a while, the aroma floated out.

Xue Jiao saw that the eyes of the people in the circle were all staring at him, and he told them about the matter in general.

It turned out that Liu Dong did receive a confidential task from the organization before coming to Lop Nur, that is, to blow up the 'lair' of Lop Nur LC01. It is said that before this, there have been batches of troops and personnel to Lop Nur to do advance work, and the '720' base is the fifth to receive this task, so Liu Dong should belong to the final stage of participation when he gets this task, but it is the easiest, as long as the tons of explosives in the valley are detonated, the task can be completed.

When the mission was first assigned a year and a half ago, the limit of knowledge about the executors of the various units was reduced to zero, and only a few high-level personnel knew the details. And until the final stage, the above was also very strict about this matter, so Liu Dong knew very little about the purpose of this trip.

Li Zimu frowned: "Since it is such a confidential mission, then why do you know about it, Elder Xue?" And it's not just you, even the guy who Cha Muque, even him" He said, turning his head and pointing at Xiao Da Lip next to him, the expression on his face was quite surprised.

Xue Karan sighed and said: "It is the most secret and safe way to let Liu Dong enter Lop Nur with the archaeological team at the base, and I, as the leader of this expedition, must of course have the right to have feelings about this matter, so as to ensure the completion of the task." And Xiao Cha had a lot of impact on the '720 base' because of some things two years ago, so Liu Dong specially asked the organization for his assistance. ”

The dwarf raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Liu Dong, this guy would rather ask outsiders for help than tell me?!" ”

Xiao smiled with big lips: "I can understand this, don't think what I said is not good!" You and Liu Dong are both from the same army, and their military ranks are about the same, so they must be very iron buddies on the surface, and the kind that fight each other secretly. He finally got such an opportunity, and when he did it, he soared, how could he tell you? You're naïve in this regard! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Bing shouted: "Brother Liu is not the kind of person you said!" ”

Xiao Dayian was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw Bai Bing glaring at him angrily, saying that it was bad, he made the little girl anxious, and the bones of the little lover were not cold, and he buried others like this, which was indeed too unkind, and quickly made an apologetic gesture and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I said the wrong thing, don't take it seriously!" ”

The dwarf gave him a blank look: "Shut your stinky mouth!" ”

Li Zimu ignored them unintentionally, turned his head to look at Xue Jiao again, and motioned for him to continue.

Xue Jia continued: "Although Xiao Cha promised to assist Liu Dong, he doesn't seem to be ignorant of this matter. ”

Li Zimu asked, "What do you say?" ”

"We were exhausted when we fled to this valley four days ago because of the sandstorm, but Xiao Cha spent the night checking the explosives stored in the valley, and then he told me that the valley must not be blown up, otherwise we would not be able to escape. I asked him why, but he didn't tell me the exact reason, only that it was poisonous, and that a lot of poison gas would leak out if it blew up the valley. Xue Jiao said.

When several people heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, and subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

Xiao Dayian only felt a chill on his back, and hurriedly asked: "If it is poison, as soon as the explosives in Shangdun explodes, the entire Yadan City will be covered by poisonous gas, and it will even spread farther, let alone us, even the gold rush team in this vicinity may be affected, 720 gave Liu Dong such a task, is it to "He suddenly swallowed back in the middle of his words, as if he thought of something, and looked at Xue Jiao in horror.

"At that time, we guessed that the troops did not intend to let him go back alive when they handed over this task to Liu Dong, even us, if the valley blasting is successful, we will be wiped out in Lop Nur together with the 'secret' they say."

Bai Bing was so frightened that his lips were almost white, and he said in a trembling voice: "So, the rescue team promised to us by the army before is also a disguise?" ”

Xue Jiao nodded with a heavy face.
