Going deep into Lop Nur, the mobile phones on Sun Yan and Xiao Wang have completely lost their signal, and only high-end electronic watches remain.

After dinner, Sun Yan could only stir up the maritime satellite phone again, and used the antenna to search for signals in the vast desert. This kind of notebook-sized thing is rumored to be miraculous, but it is useless at all at a critical time, and it takes two and a half hours to toss but no result at all.

Sun Yan was extremely disappointed, and then circled around the car a few times, and finally waited until it was dark. He set up a tent in the desert, lit a bonfire, and cooked a few packets of instant noodles in the pot.

Sleepless all night, this night, Sun Yan always paid attention to the movements around him, waiting for the appearance of the sand hermitage, but unexpectedly the monster did not appear, as if he had expected Sun Yan to deal with him.

Early the next morning, Sun Yan packed his things and decided to hit the road, realizing that waiting for rescue in such a desert was a fantasy. While there are still more supplies left on the car, there is still a better chance of surviving when you go out to find a way.

Departing at 8 o'clock, the car kept running in the desert of no man's land, although the high-tech GPS navigation could no longer win Sun Yan's trust, but he could only watch the two lines of cold numbers on the monitor keep marching towards the Peacock River.

The sand ditch is vertical and horizontal, twisting and turning, all the way down, unconsciously has been walking for a whole day, and the car has not even walked out of this area. Sun Yan kept looking into the distance, hoping to see a ruin, an oasis, an exit, but where the sky and the earth meet, there are always undulating jagged sand dunes.

On this day, Xiao Wang's situation was not optimistic, but he didn't get a drop of water after eating something in the morning, and his lips were chapped and bleeding, Sun Yan kept wiping his mouth with wet wipes, but he was groggy all the way, and he couldn't wake up.

Night fell on the Lop Nur wasteland again, after a day of driving, the fuel in the car was almost exhausted, Sun Yan finished adding fuel and sat on the sand dunes to smoke, this sitting was an hour, and before he knew it, there were cigarette butts under his feet.

Hunger and sleepiness swept over, he devoured a dry bread, turned his head to look at Xiao Wang in the car, still sleeping. During the day, his wounds were examined, and they were even worse than yesterday, and he had a high fever that did not go away, and sometimes he even had convulsions on his body. I don't know how long this guy can hold on to dragging this kind of body, thinking about Sun Yan's heart, there was a burst of despair.

I could sit on the sand dunes for three or four hours, and my body was numb, and I don't know when there was a noise under the car, and I shook the flashlight a few times but there was nothing.

At this time, he vaguely heard the sound of a camel bell in the distance, Sun Yan turned his head, and saw a few orange lights approaching this side from a distance, squinted his eyes, thinking that he had seen a ghost, but as the light approached, there was even a sound of talking.

Sun Yan's heart jumped, and he immediately got up from the sand dune, took two steps down and sank into the soft sand, and rolled down from the top in embarrassment.

As soon as he landed, Sun Yan hurriedly got up from the ground, ran towards the light, and shouted for help. After shouting a few times, someone on the other side answered him, and when he got closer, it was actually a camel caravan, and a group of people and horses were riding camels from a distance, and the few flashes of orange light were the lamps in people's hands.

Sun Yan was overjoyed when he saw this, it was incredible, he saw people again, and it was a camel team composed of more than a dozen people, for a while he almost thought he was dreaming, he excitedly pinched the back of his hand, and found that it hurt very much, and then pinched it hard, it was bleeding, and the scene in front of him was really true!

A tall man on a camel stopped at the front of the line, looking down at Sun Yan from top to bottom. The man was dressed in fur clothes, and his face was against the light, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but judging from the contours of the side nose bridge and eyebrows, he was very handsome.

Sun Yan immediately searched in his mind for some simple Uyghur words that Xiao Wang and Xiao Da Lip had spoken before, and he didn't remember much, so he remembered a greeting, which meant hello. He shouted to the man.

After shouting this, the man did not respond to him immediately, but just looked him up and down, and then asked slowly: "Are you an archaeological team member?" ”

"Huh?" Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded, this person actually spoke authentic Mandarin, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly told him about the situation he and Xiao Wang encountered, and before he finished speaking, the man interrupted him and said: "Your situation Nazagul has told me, you two really make it easy for us to find, I didn't expect to come to such a place." ”

"Nazagul?" Sun Yan looked at him in wonder, the man subconsciously glanced behind him, and after a while, he saw a person riding a camel from behind, this person was wearing a felt hat on his head, wearing a thick fur coat, and his whole body was shrouded in the night, but after a few steps forward, Sun Yan could see her face clearly, and the person on the camel was the woman in red he saw yesterday.

Startled, Sun Yan opened his mouth and asked, "Are you Nazagul?" ”

Nazagul nodded, the expression on her face was still cold, she looked up ahead, and asked, "How is that companion of yours?" Yesterday, I saw that his face was very bad, and he must have been injured. ”

Sun Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "He is in a very bad condition, he hasn't eaten all day today, and he has a high fever, I gave him a lot of medicine but it doesn't work, can you save him!" ”

Nazagul and the handsome man next to him looked at each other, and the man nodded, and Nazagul got off the camel and said, "I'll help him take a look." ”

Sun Yan hurriedly ran over and opened the car door, and took Xiao Wang out of it, seeing that this guy's face had turned earthy gray, Nazagul touched the bottom of his nose and said, "No breathing." ”

Breathless? Sun Yan's head banged, his hands and feet immediately became cold, he looked at Nazagul in horror, and asked incoherently, "Why is it not breathing?" It was fine before, but it was just a little injured."

Nazagul waved his hand to tell him not to worry, and frowned: "He's not dead yet, you put him flat on the sand." ”

"Good!" Sun Yan immediately did so, Nazagul knelt down on her knees in the sand, untied the wound on Xiao Wang's neck, and glanced at it, her brows furrowed tightly.

"The wound was severe, rotting too deeply." Nazagul said slowly.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Sun Yan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on with this wound?" Why is it so serious?! ”

Nazagul didn't reply, but raised Xiao Wang's neck, immediately untied the thick clothes he was wearing, and began to give him cardiopulmonary resuscitation, while saying to Sun Yan: "Let him breathe back first." ”

She put her hands on Xiao Wang's chest, pressed down vigorously again and again, looking very professional, after two or three minutes, seeing that Xiao Wang did not react, she immediately began to do artificial respiration, and there was no twisting or embarrassment in the process.

After alternating CPR and artificial respiration several times, Xiao Wang's body began to twitch, and he curled up and spat out some black blood from his throat, which had obviously resumed breathing.

"Can you hear me now?" Nazagul began to talk to Xiao Wang, but after asking several times, Xiao Wang almost did not respond, just opened his eyes in a daze, and his body even kept twitching, and finally Nazagul patted his face, and he nodded consciously.

"He's very confused, he could faint again at any moment, and we have to keep giving him that stimulation to keep him awake." Nazagul said.

Sun Yan nodded, and asked again, "What's going on with his wound?" ”

Nazagul frowned: "This should be the Lop Nur poisonous spur." ”

"Lop Nur poisonous spurs? Is it a bug? Sun Yan asked.

"It's not." Nazagul shook her head, "This is a poisonous spores released by desert plants. It usually floats in the air, but when it falls on the damp sand surface, it will take root and sprout. However, if you encounter the epidermis of living organisms during the planktonic process, they will burrow into it, forming some dense rotten sores. I have found this kind of sore in the belly of the lamb before, because it is poisonous, once it forms small holes on the surface of the skin, it will rot deeper and deeper, until the internal organs of the lamb die, we cut open its belly, and found that its internal organs are full of these dense small holes, and all of them are broken. ”

Sun Yan's face turned blue, he looked down at Xiao Wang, and found that although his consciousness was blurred, his body was still obviously shivering.

Nazagul continued: "Because it must grow on a humid sandy surface, this desert plant is rarely seen, and the plankton spores it spits out must also encounter windy weather to move in a wide area, and it will die if it does not fall into the soil for a long time, and its life cycle is very short, and I haven't seen it for more than ten years." ”

Sun Yan was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" Is there no cure for this rotten sore? ”

"Yes." Nazagul spat slowly, she stood up and walked over to the handsome man, the man leaned over, and Nazagul leaned into his ear and said something. Then the man nodded, straightened up and said to Sun Yan, "You can come to our village, it's important to save people." ”

Sun Yan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, and he hurriedly carried Xiao Wang back to the car. The man looked at him gloomily, and when he saw Sun Yan getting into the car, he looked up and looked this way, so he reluctantly looked away, lowered his head and said to Nazagul: "Yes, but this thing is very smart, and I don't dare to come out now, let's wait until dawn." ”

As he was playing, the man shouted to the camel caravan behind him, and the camel caravan began to turn around and return the way it came. Sun Yan started the car and drove away, followed behind them, and walked slowly.
