In the afternoon, the camel caravan has begun to enter the Yadan landscape, the road is more difficult to walk, the Yadan is not in sight one by one, the camels can only move forward in a roundabout way, the speed is much slower.

After walking less than three kilometers, the wind began to rise again, although the wind was not strong, but the sand still crackled and hit the face, everyone brought windproof goggles and masks, and the old horse said don't stop and continue to walk, now time is everything.

The sky was gray, and the road was full of strange Yadan landforms, and the bare stone layers were carved vividly by the wind, and some grinned like monsters; Some of the dangerous platforms are towering, resembling ancient castles, or like pavilions and pavilions, and the eaves are like the tops; Others resemble towering skyscrapers or flattened archways. Among them, there are poplar trees that have died for thousands of years.

After hundreds of millions of years, the "hands" of nature have carved various lifelike forms, as if they have their own soul in the eyes of human beings, and they are presented in front of you with a very prominent character, which makes people have to be awe-inspired.

Although the scenery is spectacular, the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, and a few people don't have the leisure to enjoy it slowly, so they can only move forward.

When it got dark, everyone found a sheltered sand dune to rest. Batur and Lao Du set up tents, and Xiao Da Li and Wei Xiao went out to collect firewood and make a fire. The old horse circled around the sand dunes and came back and said, "After eating, we will rest for three hours, and then set off overnight." ”

Xiao Dayian became anxious when he heard this: "Old horse, don't rush like this, it's very dangerous to walk at night in Lop Nur, especially now that we have arrived at Yadanqun." ”

The old horse shook his head and said, "I have a number." ”

"The captain was right and now it's time to race against the clock. The longer they were trapped in Dragon City, the slimmer their hopes of survival. Lao Du next to him said.

Xiao Da Yan was speechless all of a sudden, hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food, and went into the tent to catch up on sleep.

After about four hours, the five men gritted their teeth and started on the road again. This trip was more than 20 hours, and the rest time on the road was very short, and the camel shook and swayed, and Xiao's big lips' intestines were about to come out. But fortunately, in the early morning of the third day, the three of them entered the dragon city of Yadan, when the first ray of sunlight shone down from the east, the surface covered with a layer of white alkali white dragon mound platform is like a group of white dragons cruising in the sea of sand, the white back appears and disappears in the waves, head and tail are linked, boundless, and the momentum is wonderful.

Xiao Da Li and Xiao Wang rolled off the camel and fell asleep, and after only about three hours of sleep, the two of them were woken up by Batur.

Batur's eyes were red, and he obviously hadn't slept, and he shook the shoulders of the two of them and said, "You found a body over there, why don't you go and take a look?" ”

As soon as they heard this, they immediately bounced up from the ground, followed Batur step by step to the discovery site, and came to a raised Yadan ridge, and found that Lao Ma and Lao Du were already in a trench more than two meters wide, and the trench was full of floating soil, and most of their bodies had sunk into it.

There was also a red and white tent buried in the floating soil, and Lao Ma and Lao Du worked together to pull the tent out of the floating soil, only to find that there was a dead man wrapped in it. The man sank headfirst into the sand, and the first thing that came out was a pair of tall desert boots, the size of which was supposed to be a woman.

The old horse lifted the corner of the tent, and instantly a foul smell of rotting corpses came to his nose, and the two of them held their breath and immediately shook the head of the corpse out of the sand, and opened the tent and only looked at it, and the two of them gasped.

Lao Du stood up the corpse, made her face face upward, and said to Xiao Da Li and Batur, "Is this your person?" ”

Xiao glanced at it and found that it was a short-haired woman, her head was so swollen that her facial features were completely out of shape, her face was full of purple-black bags, and her forehead and under the corners of her eyes were the most eye-catching, the size of a ping-pong ball.

A red scarf was wrapped tightly around the corpse's neck, as if the head was so big that it was strangled entirely.

Xiao's big lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Fuck! It's all been destroyed like this, how can I tell the difference. Let's see if she has any documents on her that can prove her identity. ”

Enduring the stench, Lao Ma and Lao Du immediately began to rummage through the pockets of the corpse, and after searching for a long time and found that there was nothing inside, Lao Du stood up the corpse horizontally, pulled it in the tent, and found a small black bag in the blanket under the corpse, and when they opened the bag, they saw a bunch of things inside, a small diary, a key, nail clippers, a band-aid, a ballpoint pen, hand cream, lip balm, and an amulet.

Lao Du flipped through it casually, found that there was an ID card standing on the side, took it out and looked at it, and read: "Yang Yang"

He was illiterate, and he didn't read his name out for a long time, and when he saw Xiao Da's lips on it, he was so anxious that he called out, so he stretched out his hand and handed his ID card to Lao Ma, and said, "Captain, what do you think her name is?" I'm familiar with the face in the photo, and it should be Xue Jiao's person. ”

Lao Ma took the ID card and looked at it, raised his head and asked, "Yang Steamyun, this woman's name is Yang Steamyun." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Da Yan sighed in his heart, and his face immediately changed, and Batur next to him saw that he looked strange, so he asked, "What?" Is it someone from your archaeological team? ”

Xiao nodded with big lips: "She is our assistant Yang." ”

"That Assistant Yang?" Wei Xiao was suddenly stunned and said, "Oh! I have the impression that everyone in the team calls her that, and there is a man named Li Zimu who is especially afraid of her! I didn't expect it."

Xiao couldn't help but take a cool breath, he didn't expect that the capable and mature middle-aged woman would die in such a miserable way, and his brain went blank for a while. How the hell did this die? Why does she have so many big black and purple bags on her face? Could it really be that they were hit by a huge sandstorm as Zamu said? Before he came, he still had a fluke mentality, thinking that maybe the person named Zamu was just alarmist, so he still had something to do with it, and he was also dissatisfied with Lao Ma's decision to hurry up, but now that he saw Assistant Yang's deformed body, he couldn't help but panic, what about Xue Jiao and them? Is it really all annihilated?

Lao Ma and Lao Du buried Yang Xianyun's body under the floating soil, and when they climbed up the Yadan soil ridge, Lao Ma put the small diary and talisman in Xiao Da Li's hand and said, "You can keep this." ”
