Chapter 11: New Teammates

Lu Dachuan concentrated on driving. Liu Peng sat on the side with a serious expression. Judging from their reactions, I realized that this accident was related to the photos I posted on the Internet, but they didn't talk about it, and I was embarrassed to ask, depressed, and I didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery along the road, and then I fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took for me to wake up to the sound of the car door closing, and when I opened my eyes, the car was parked on the side of the road. Lu Dachuan and Liu Peng switched positions.

Liu Peng started the car, and Lu Dachuan told him: "I close my eyes, you don't have to drive so fast, and there are not many roads, so you are not in a hurry at this time." ”

"Well, you sleep."

Lu Dachuan lowered the back of the seat, stretched his body, and closed his eyes to rest.

I asked Liu Peng in a low voice, "Where are we here?" ”

"You woke up," Mr. Liu said, "just after the song." ”

"Where's the song?"

"A county seat, not far from Jiuzhi County. You sleep again, and when it's time for me to call you. ”

"I don't sleep." I wanted to see the time, but Lu Keqin fell asleep leaning on me, I didn't dare to take out my mobile phone for fear of waking her up, so I asked Liu Peng, "What time will it be?" ”

"It's almost nine o'clock."

"Ran all night!?"

"Nine o'clock in the afternoon."

"It's almost nine o'clock, and it's not dark yet." I climbed into the car window to look outside; Lu Keqin turned upside down to me.

"Well, it's dark here. Have you ever felt uncomfortable? ”

Turning around slowly, I wanted to help Lu Keqin, who had fallen down, to sit upright, but instead of helping her up twice, she fell into my arms, I really wanted my own life, I didn't know what to do with my arms shutting down. Of course, the main thing is that her brother and Liu Peng are sitting in the front, otherwise which man encounters this kind of thing and doesn't steal joy in his heart, don't you say?

didn't hear me answer, Liu Peng turned his head and glanced back: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Huh? Not much. ”

Turning his head, Liu Peng muttered: "Silly boys have stupid blessings." ”

I pretended not to hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I ask you if you feel uncomfortable!"

"It's good, it's not uncomfortable."

Liu Peng stopped talking.

More than an hour later, Liu Peng drove into a courtyard, and through the car window, I saw several gilded characters inlaid on a building in the courtyard of the Zhiqing Songduo Hotel in Jiuzhi County.

"Arrived?" Lu Dachuan opened his eyes.

"Hmm."

"Wait, I'll go up and see a few people." Lu Dachuan jumped out of the car and hurriedly walked into the door of the hotel.

Liu Peng got out of the car from the other side, breathed a lot of air, and turned around the car to check the condition of the car while moving his muscles and bones. I also wanted to get out of the car to do activities, so I called Lu Keqin, who was lying in my arms: "Sister Keqin-Sister Keqin-"

After screaming a few times, Lu Keqin sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Here we are." I say.

"Oh, what about them?"

"Your brother went to the hotel. Liu Peng was outside the car. I drove the door, "Let's go down to the event too!" ”

"Hmm."

I was about to get out of the car when a bag of stuff was shoved into my arms, "What? I asked.

"Clothes, you two put them on and then come down."

"We've got clothes to wear!"

Lu Keqin knocked on my head, took the bag and opened it, and took out two thick clothes from it and gave them to me: "Put them on, it's cold outside." ”

"I didn't feel cold!"

"You fool, of course you don't think there's air conditioning in the car."

I put on my coat and saw that the other one was a pair of thicker autumn pants, which was a little silly.

"Wear it quickly, a big man is still afraid of me looking at you!?"

I put it on.

"You go down." Lu Keqin said.

I got out of the car and closed the door. Lu Keqin began to get dressed.

After exercising outside for a while, I didn't see Lu Keqin get out of the car, I knocked on the glass, opened the car door and saw Lu Keqin crooked on the seat, and asked, "Sister Keqin, aren't you panicking?" Why can't it come down yet? ”

"My head hurts." Lu Keqin said weakly.

"What? Sick? ”

"It's okay, altitude sickness, do you see if there is glucose, I'll drink two."

I got into the car, untied the plastic bag containing the snacks, took out the glucose box, took out two sticks from it, broke it with a small grinding wheel and handed it to Lu Keqin. Lu Keqin was drinking, and Lu Dachuan and Liu Peng got into the car together.

"What now?" Liu Peng asked Lu Dachuan.

"We can't live in a hotel, let's see if we can find a suitable small hotel and make up for one night."

"Why can't I stay in the hotel?" I was a little confused and wanted to ask, but seeing that Liu Peng and Lu Keqin didn't ask any of them from beginning to end, I had to endure it.

Liu Peng drove the car slowly along the street, his eyes looked at both sides of the street, and after two streets, he stopped the car and opened the door and jumped down. "Don't move in the car." Lu Dachuan said a word and jumped down. The two of them walked to the mouth of an alley, looked in for a while, and entered the alley one after the other. After they left, I realized that there was a car behind our car. But it's not the one driven by Zhang Xiaohu.

"Sister Keqin, what's going on? I'm a little confused. ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Lu Keqin stared at the mouth of the alley where Lu Dachuan and they entered.

After about ten minutes, Liu Peng walked out alone, he first went to the car behind him and said something to the people in the car, and then walked back to get into the car and drove into the alley. After making two turns, he drove the car into a rather large compound. I saw Lu Dachuan standing in front of several low houses in the courtyard, and there was an old woman with white hair standing beside him.

When I got out of the car, the car behind me also drove in and parked next to it, and four men got out of it, and I didn't know any of them.

"Let's go inside!" Lu Dachuan greeted everyone.

A group of people walked towards the house where Lu Dachuan lifted the curtain. I twisted my head and wanted to take a closer look at this somewhat dilapidated courtyard, Lu Keqin dragged me, and I followed them into the house.

When I entered the room, I saw that the small room was almost occupied by beds, and my eyes slipped away, and there were six single beds in between. There was a door open at the head of the bed directly opposite the door, which looked like a small suite, and there was no light in it, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

Wait for everyone to sit on the bed one by one. Lu Dachuan's phone rang, it was Zhang Xiaohu calling, he picked it up and asked about the situation, and then said: "We are interrupted on the Yellow River Road, you go over, I will ask Liu Peng to pick you up on the side of the road." ”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Dachuan said to Liu Peng: "It's coming soon, you go out to pick them up on the side of the road, and buy some food by the way." ”

Liu Peng agreed and went out. Lu Dachuan briefly introduced the other four people to me, the oldest of them is called Liu Fashan, a native of Xi'an; The one with two mustaches is called Zhao An, a native of Zhengzhou; The other two are from Chengdu, and Lu Dachuan has seen them on the website, but he has not dealt with them, and the details are not clear. They stood up and gave their names briefly. The fat one is called Hu Xiaoming, and the shorter one is called Chen San.

After talking about them, Lu Dachuan pointed at me and said, "This is Zheng Shuang, everyone knows his situation, so I won't say more." ”

I was shaking hands with them one by one, and Liu Peng and they entered the door.

"Are you sure the Hummer wasn't following you?"

"Sure. I haven't seen it since it overtook us. ”

"I wish I had been overly distracted. Don't stand, find a place to sit! ”

Lin Xian'er sat down beside Lu Keqin. Several men sat in the seats we had given up.

"Okawa, what the hell is going on, tell us about it, it's a mess." Liu Fashan said.

"That's right, on the way, Zhang Xiaohu found a suspicious Hummer following us, and then I saw that the car had a license plate from the embassy of a certain country, and all the foreigners were sitting in it...... As we all know, from before the founding of the People's Republic of China to the nineties, there were rumors about the United States, the Soviet Union and our country competing for the Duliba Stone Dish, and our operation was all public from the beginning...... I was afraid that some ill-intentioned people would smell it and it would be detrimental to our expedition, so I hurriedly took some urgent measures just in case. ”

Before Lu Dachuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, as if there was already a smell of gunpowder.

After looking at everyone's reactions, Lu Dachuan continued: "I know that everyone understands in their hearts that if they are really coming for us, it is definitely not as simple as 'disadvantage', so it is too late for someone to quit now." ”

At the beginning, I listened to Lu Dachuan's persuasion to quit, and my heart lifted, but fortunately no one expressed his position.

Lu Dachuan continued: "Originally, the purpose of our operation was very simple, just to satisfy our curiosity, but once the factors I was worried about intervened, it would be completely different, and everyone might encounter all kinds of dangers at any time. Of course, the expedition itself is a dangerous thing, but there is a difference between danger and danger, only we can give up at any time when we get there, and with them, I am afraid that we can't let go of it when we want to, even if we return home, it is possible...... But then again, if it's as I expected, our simple expedition will be given a special meaning. ”

After all, this group of people who came was just a simple outdoor sports enthusiast, and they were a little confused when they encountered this situation.

"Well, I won't say anything more. Let's spend a night thinking about whether to leave tomorrow or stay and listen to it! ”

After speaking, Lu Dachuan took the two large plastic bags full of instant food brought back by Liu Peng: "Whoever eats it comes and takes it himself, I'm welcome." ”

The room was full of people, except for Liu Fashan, who had eaten, and the rest had not eaten anything for a day, and after a while, the smell of bubbling instant noodles and the sound of eating instant noodles wafted all over the room.

After eating, Lu Dachuan said: "The water room is at the end of the house, and the toilet is on the southwest corner of the courtyard. It's okay, let's wash up and go to bed early, we must leave the county seat before dawn tomorrow. ”

There were many people and the place was small, and it took nearly an hour for everyone to line up to wash and lie on the bed. Except for Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er, the two women who were in the suite inside, the others were all crammed into the six single beds outside.

After lying down, I was worried about whether there would be danger at night and asked Lu Dachuan. Lu Dachuan said that the small hotel was found temporarily, and there was no one else for the guests to stay except us, and the owner was only an old lady, so it should be safe.

That's when someone asked me about the Duliba Stone Disc and the alien corpses. I was afraid that they would quit, and I exaggerated what was already mysterious.

After a while, snoring gradually sounded in the room.

After everyone fell asleep, I couldn't sleep, thinking about what if they were going to quit? And even if no one exits, will they be able to find those caves? Not to mention the specific target, there is not even an approximate range, how to find it in the Bayankala Mountains, which are 780 kilometers long and about 5,000 meters above sea level? And also...... And also......

Thinking about all kinds of unpredictable things, I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the door opening interrupted my thoughts, "What time is it, why hasn't the old lady slept yet?" Thinking that I took out my mobile phone to see that it was past 1 o'clock, my heart became more and more confused, so I quietly got out of bed, walked to the window and lifted the corner of the curtain, my eyes just touched the glass, and my heart almost jumped out, I saw the old woman standing outside the window.
