Yu Dong didn't pay attention to Qin Zhen's deliberately aggravated tone, but as if he hadn't heard it, he naturally began to look for cigarettes and smoke.

Seeing Yu Dong's completely impassive appearance, Qin Zhen was also disappointed. In fact, some things are like this, if a person lives or dies and just doesn't want to tell you the secret, then how you dig a hole and talk about it is also in vain. However, this confirmed Qin Zhen's guess even more, not only Yudong, but this team is not simple!

With Yu Dong's vague explanation just now, it is estimated that he can fool people like Gu Jie. But Qin Zhen's mind was not single-celled like Gu Jie, and he didn't believe what kind of chemical product was in that small bottle at all. What kind of organic matter, that's too general, isn't it? The scope definition is overwhelming. According to Qin Zhen's own guess, the bottle was not a burning organic and inorganic chemical, but something that could verify the dead and the living!

If you use Qin Zhen's idea to put Yu Dong's explanation just now to another point, it is that the contents of the bottle can destroy the corpse, the dead, and even the walking dead or some other mutant species, but it cannot instantly cremate a living person. Thinking of this, Qin Zhen began to be scared of his guess. What the hell are these people doing? Would you study such a thing?

Just when Qin Zhen was meditating, Lao Shen, who had not participated much in the speech, spoke, "There is one more thing, Dong Shao, why is there quicksand in the Yumen Pass." Have you thought about it? After speaking, he looked at Yudong with great meaning.

After hearing this, Yudong was as calm as usual, and saw him say calmly, "Don't think about it." Quicksand is sand that floats on water, and being able to have such a large area and such a destructive force in the desert can only explain one thing. Beneath this desert there are underground rivers and even underground canyons. ”

Although Yu Dong said casually, Qin Zhen's mouth opened wider and wider as they listened. The terrain in this devil's desert is far more terrifying and complicated than Qin Zhen thought! If there is really an underground river underneath, it is also very likely to be unstable, which is probably the reason why Yumen Pass sank.

Unstable dìng underground river? This reminded Qin Zhen of the wandering lake in Lop Nur all of a sudden. Could it be that Lop Nur is also buried under the yellow sand??

Qin Zhen told Yudong and them about his bold guess, and before they could speak, Gu Jie smiled exaggeratedly, "Da Zhen, can you restrain your rich imagination?" This is too fantastic! So how can a large expanse of water sink into the sand? Come, tell me how it works before it becomes a sludge. ”

Qin Zhen glared at Gu Jie helplessly, with a stomach full of resentment. In fact, this is just a random guess, if you know what the principle is, why do you need to work so hard?

But at this time, Yudong, who had been pondering, slowly spoke: "Actually, it's not absolutely impossible. ”

Everyone looked at Yu Dong with some surprise, especially Gu Jie. He first looked at Yu Dong in disbelief, then squinted his eyes and stared at Yu Dong with a scrutinizing gaze and said, "Dong Shao, I found a problem. ”

Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Jie, and then Gu Jie continued, "I found that as long as Qin Zhen said something, you seem to think it makes sense?" Eh, are you alright? Did you save him and save the stupid? As far as his IQ is concerned, I'm not saying that the weight of the upper scale is definitely not much different from mine! Can you believe what he says? ”

The more Qin Zhen listened, the more angry he became, and at this time, while rolling up his sleeves, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hey! You see what you can do! I don't care about you, you're not done, are you? Come on, I won't talk nonsense with you, let's try not to quarrel about things that can be done. As he spoke, Qin Zhen was about to stand up.

Yu Dong stretched out his hand at this time and symbolically grabbed Qin Zhen, and then said to Gu Jie, "I'm not stupid enough to believe Qin Zhen's IQ, I just said my thoughts on a case-by-case basis." ”

"Oh!" Gu Jie nodded in a long voice. And Qin Zhen roared out two seconds later, "What do you mean by this!" ”

Yu Dong didn't pay attention to Qin Zhen's annoyance, but then calmly analyzed, "Even after the Yumen Pass disappears, the magnetic field here hasn't changed much. In other words, there is simply no way to determine where we are. I had a rough idea of the route when I drew that map, and we should be within the perimeter of Lop Nur now, but it seems like a very complicated journey to get out of this area with abnormal magnetic fields."

With that, Yu Dong reached out and took out the map from his body. Everyone came over, and by the light of a few flashlights, they could still see clearly.

Qin Zhen and Gu Jie watched for a long time, but they didn't see what Yudong was relying on to conclude that he was now in the range of Lop Nur. Moreover, on the map of the ancient Western Regions, Lop Nur is not the big ears on today's satellite maps. There won't be any signature hints at all, and these rough lines really don't make a clue.

But Yu Dong pointed to the route on the map with a serious face and said, "Here, it's Yumen Pass." According to this only route to the west, we must first reach the ancient kingdom of Khotan, and then pass through a special road to Jingjing. Out of the essence to go back, it is Gu Loulan. According to this map, in the blank area between Loulan and the former Lop Nur Lake, there is Holao Luojia. ”

After saying it in one breath, Yu Dong raised his head. Pointing to the abrupt blank space, he said, "Back in 1600 or even earlier, this was the most prosperous oasis around the Tarim River. Legend has it that Horao Loga was an oasis city-state of peace and prosperity. Whether it's the real Loulan Wangcheng or not, it's our destination. What is the meaning of the word 'Luojia' left by Mr. Wang, I will find the answer there. After speaking, Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen.

With this sentence, Qin Zhen and Gu Jie couldn't help but think of the old man's thin body, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad in their hearts. But before they could feel sad, Yudong went on to say things that made them even more sad.

"Now here's the problem. Let's talk about Khotan first, and the Khotan marked here is definitely not the Khotan we know now. It stands to reason that the ancient kingdom of Khotan should be on the Kunlun Mountains, because the Khotanese kingdom is in the Kunlun Mountains, so the jade from Khotan is also called the jade of Kunshan. However, as far as Loulan and Khotan are strong neighbors, they may not have been too far away at the beginning. Then there is the road after Khotan, and the reason why I say it is special is because the light on the Moyu map was the most distinctive here at that time. I can't explain it, I can only say that by my feelings, the road turned out to be underground. ”

Qin Zhen had already begun to stare and swallow his saliva when he heard this, but Yudong's bad news didn't seem to be finished. He shook his head as if he couldn't figure it out, and then said, "There are so many things I don't understand, maybe when you get to Khotan, you can know why this road is underground." Because we have to go through this strange path to reach the essence. And I don't dare to say whether the Exquisite Ancient Country represented here is really near the current Exquisite Ruins, but it shouldn't be too bad. Because this line in this place is very much like the first bridge of the essence. ”

Qin Zhen only felt that his eyes were dazzled when he listened, and his head was confused. Gu Jie was even more desperate, and after blinking, he shook his head desperately, as if he was trying hard to understand Yudong's words.

In addition to Qin Zhen and Gu Jie's expressions being slightly depressed and painful, Lao Shen's face was also relatively solemn. As for Jiang Qi, no matter what he listened to, or what everyone said, he would not have any panic or opinions. He brought his role as a soldier into full play, always remembering his mission and responsibility.

Seeing everyone's expressions and heavy atmosphere, Yudong paused for a moment and said, "We are going to take an unusual and unknown route in the desert, this road may have been walked by people before, but it seems that it should not have been walked out alive yet." Yu Dong did not shy away from saying this, it is obvious that what he meant was what he said before, the next road is to choose by himself.

Lao Shen and Jiang Qi naturally didn't react, this group of gentlemen seemed to have come with a certain heart of death, to put it bluntly, since they came, it seemed that they didn't plan to go back alive at all.

But Qin Zhen and Gu Jie didn't come out of generosity, they were looking for brothers. But now that the life and death of the brothers are unknown, and there are still so many mysteries left, it is impossible for them to pack their bags and go home now. Not to mention Qin Zhen's head that drilled the horns of the cow, let alone Gu Jie's tendonous temperament, it would never be possible to go home so unclearly. What's more, he has never been a master who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Therefore, Gu Jieli ignored the meaning of Yu Dong's words just now. directly wiped his face and said, "Dare to be the first person to eat crabs!" The road is made by people! As long as we keep running out of food and water, I still don't believe in this evil, and this desert can still eat me? ”

Qin Zhen rolled his eyes, he didn't even bother to scold. Isn't this nonsense? What are the reasons for most of the people who die in the desert? Isn't it that you have lost your way and then run off water and food?? Even if Yudong is well prepared, the supplies will only be used up sooner or later!! I can't live in this desert with the heart of life!!

Although Yu Dong also felt that Gu Jie's bold words were a bit idiotic, he didn't seem to be too worried, so he just groaned a little and said, "Of course, the things I prepared for us will be exhausted sooner or later." Whether it's water or oil, there has to be a place to supply it. ”

After hearing this, Qin Zhen seized this opportunity and immediately asked rhetorically, "So, you have already made arrangements?" ”

"Once you really enter Lop Nur, you will inevitably encounter the military-ruled area. At that time, these problems will not be a problem. Yu Dong's face was indifferent, and he said lightly. But Qin Zhen kept staring at Yudong with a hint of a smile, thinking to himself, Dongshao, Dongshao, you are finally about to show your true colors. Come, uncover your mystery, and let me have a good look at who you really are.
