Chapter 33: Lop Nur

The tour group began to move on, passing through the desert buggy, taking everyone to the base in the desert, the tour group changed into camels, replenished their needs, and at the request of the guide, everyone needed to drink enough water before departure.

The tour group set foot on the Silk Road on a camel, Wei Lai and Huo Meng took a camel for the first time, their hearts were very excited, looking at the yellow sand under their feet, looking at the golden color everywhere in the distance, what I thought of was that this Silk Road was the only way to transport all kinds of antique porcelain in ancient times, if the ancient people had an accident, then the antiques and porcelain would be buried in the sand, this desert can be described as countless treasures, no wonder so many people come to the desert to travel and hunt for treasures.

Wei Lai secretly took out the ancient map, compared the map distributed by the tour group with the ancient map, and found that there were many discrepancies in it, but he could also distinguish his location, Wei Lai put away the ancient map, and said to Huo Meng: "We can follow the tour group for a long distance, first to Lop Nur, the outline of the ears on the ancient map is there, and then we go to the vicinity of the Peacock River, and then to the poplar forest, I like poplar, this time I have to stop by to see, when we get there, we have to leave the tour group and act on our own." ”

Huo Meng nodded in agreement, pointed to Yang Zeen, who was riding a camel in front, and said: "Do you say that he thinks the same as us, I think he is very difficult to get along with, if you encounter a mysterious gang, it is best to cooperate with him." ”

Wei said: "I think so too, I just don't know that Yang Zeen will not have the same purpose as us, he is not our friend, but he is not our enemy either. ”

Wei Lai is not worried about Yang Zeen, but the mysterious gang, you must know that the other party is well-armed and can enter the desert alone, which means that the other party is obviously organized, and the gang that often robs tombs for a living is by no means a good type, such a person will definitely be ruthless, and he will not be merciful to competitors at all when he encounters things.

"Why did you stop ahead?" Wei Lai and Huo Meng were talking, but they found that the tour group in front of them had stopped.

"Let's go, let's take a look." Huo Meng drove the camel and walked towards the front.

When the two arrived, they found that the tour guide was digging something in the desert, it was a black and shiny porcelain, the tour guide's face showed an excited look, and his hands were digging quickly in the desert, but when he dug halfway, the porcelain was defective, obviously a broken porcelain.

"Hey, I thought that God favored me and allowed me to dig up a complete piece of porcelain, but I didn't expect it to be a rag." After the tour guide laughed at himself, he rode a camel and continued to lead everyone forward.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment just now, and at the same time the accusation of the tour guide himself, the tour guide continued: "The Silk Road belongs to the treasure area in this area, the ancient caravans often encountered sandstorms and dangers here, and there are many treasures buried here, if you see something shining not far away, or it is not the same color as yellow sand, then congratulations, you have a great chance of finding porcelain, just like I just did, as long as it is a complete porcelain, I will become a millionaire immediately." ”

"Is there a chance that something else will happen?" The man in the tour group asked.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the tour guide and the two maintenance personnel laughed at the same time, and the guide explained: "Of course, in addition to porcelain, there will be other things, such as dried plants, or dried human corpses?" ”

"Dry corpse?"

"Of course, you think that the desert is a seaside beach, this is the ocean of death, countless people want to make a fortune, there are many people who have not made a fortune, but this desert is permanently left here, so if you want to make a fortune, it is best not to explore alone, find a reliable travel company, you can travel while hunting for treasure exploration."

The tour guide will no longer speak after speaking, and the tour guide in the desert will not say much, so as to avoid the loss of water, you must know that water is a function of the human body, and the loss of water in the desert means death.

The tour group traveled for more than half a day, the sun was hot at this time, if it wasn't for riding a camel, maybe the soles of the feet would be roasted, Wei Lai poured a sip of water, faintly heard a faint gunshot, the location was not far ahead, there was still some distance from the tour group.

Wei Lai frowned, but he hoped it was his own illusion, but when Wei Lai looked at Yang Zeen, Yang Zeen nodded silently, obviously knowing Wei Lai's doubts, seeing Yang Zeen's actions, Wei Lai's heart tightened, if the other party had a gun, the best choice for him to really encounter was to escape, no matter how fast the body reacted, it was impossible to compete with a firearm.

"Huo Meng, if you encounter an enemy and listen to my command, now is not the time to be reckless." Wei Lai said solemnly to Huo Meng.

Huo Meng shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Fuck off, have you heard of Lao Tzu?" ”

Huo Meng rolled his eyes, since he met Wei Lai, as long as there is something, Wei Lai is in charge, because Wei Lai has many ghost ideas and bad intentions, and it is often the other party who suffers, and Huo Meng has developed the habit of obeying Wei Lai's orders.

Soon after Wei Lai heard the gunshots, a group of camels appeared in front, and when the other party arrived, he directly said that he wanted to buy medicine with the tour group, and the other party was a mysterious tomb robber gang that Wei Lai knew, and one of them was seriously injured in the leg and continued to be treated with medication.

When the tour guide saw the wounded on the other side, he said kindly: "Your friend is very seriously injured, I think you should send him outside, otherwise the wound infection will be very troublesome, and it may be life-threatening." ”

In the desert, supplies are an important thing, the team members will inevitably encounter injuries and illnesses, far away from the hospital, the medicine reflects an important value, the other party wants to buy medicine, the tour guide is resolutely refused.

"I think you're getting impatient." A one-eyed man with an eyepatch walked out of the mysterious gang, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and pointed at the guide and said fiercely.

"Don't, we sell it, we sell it to you." The tour guide didn't expect that the other party would have a gun, and when the other party pulled out the gun, he compromised directly, otherwise, killing someone in the desert would be unjustly killed, and no one could find the murderer if he fled.

The other party gave a high price, but bought all the medicine, and the tour guide and the two escorts had no way, and the team members also understood that if they did not give the medicine, their lives would be threatened, and it was too difficult to escape under the guns in such a desert.

After experiencing the mysterious gang, the interest of the tour team members was significantly weakened, and even some team members wanted to go back, and after really facing the danger in the desert, they realized the preciousness of life, but if they wanted to go back, there was no one to lead, and the timid people could only dispel this idea.

In the evening, everyone came to the edge of the Lop Nur region, and the tour guide began to introduce: "This is the edge of Lop Nur, Lop Nur is known as the 'ear of the earth', and it is also called the Sea of Death, which is the lowest place in the Tarim Basin, near the site of the Peacock River, and the ancient country of Loulan is the key place of the Silk Road. ”

"This is Lop Nur." Huo Meng looked into the distance, except for the yellow sand or the yellow sand, he couldn't tell the region at all.

The tour guide continued: "Everyone get off the camel now, we will rest around here today, I emphasize again, do not act privately, everyone knows that our country's atomic bomb exploded in Lop Nur, if you accidentally enter it, your body will suffer from nuclear radiation." ”

To participate in the tour group, each team member will sign a contract, which stipulates that if the team members act without authorization, the tour group company will not bear any responsibility, and the tour guide emphasizes that it is to avoid such a thing.

"I'll go and forget about it." When Wei Lai listened to the tour guide, he remembered the matter of the atomic bomb, and if the address marked on the ancient map was in the nuclear radiation area, he was afraid that he would have to weigh whether to go or not.

"Wei Lai, what should I do?" Huo Meng also considered this and asked Xiang Wei.

"Let's see." Wei Lai didn't have any other way, he suddenly thought of one thing now, that is, the terrifying sandworm that the barbecue master said, if it was a mutation caused by nuclear radiation, then this thing was really possible.

The tour guide gathered the team members together, led everyone to explore around, trying to find a place to stay, when they reached a bare sand dune, everyone decided to settle down here to rest, the guide drove the camels to the vicinity, and assigned everyone to look for firewood around, after the desert night came, the temperature dropped sharply, and at night only in thick clothes and a campfire to drive away the cold.

Wei Lai and Huo Meng went out to look for firewood, and after seeing that they were far away from the tour group, Wei Lai took out the ancient map again and compared the surrounding landforms, but there was still no gain, Wei Lai shook his head and said: "It seems that this is not the location on the ancient map, if it is night, we had better stay away from Yang Zeen, although he has not made any moves for the time being, but we must also take corresponding precautions, I can feel that he has a familiar feeling, and he will definitely feel it." ”

"Well, the tour guide and the two escorts will take turns to keep vigil at night, so it's good for the two of us to stay light sleep." Wei said.

When Wei Lai and the two went back, Yang Zeen had already gathered the firewood, and the tour guide used sand and gravel to besiege the small stove in the middle of the city, put some of the dry firewood that everyone picked up inside, and waited for the rest to continue to add in the night.

The tour guide gathered everyone together, instructed the team members to eat, and then said: "These firewood is enough, it is about to get dark, everyone is ready, I will take turns with two escorts to keep vigil at night, and I will wake everyone up when there is danger." ”
