The place where we camped was very gloomy ruins, and it was completely uninhabited, so the experts and drivers were very nervous when they heard the strange howling. Gao Feng and Lu Qingwen were about to run out, but I stopped them: "No one is allowed to walk away alone until the situation is clarified, everyone is ready to fight, and is optimistic about our supplies!" ”

Seeing that I was calm, everyone was a little relieved, and they all took out their weapons, Diao Ye used a scimitar, Amy and the two drivers used a pistol, Liu Ping used a small submachine gun, and even Yun Feiyang and Yu Chengshu took out a dagger.

The strange howling suddenly disappeared again, and Lu Qingwen looked at me: "Is it the enemy?" ”

I didn't answer him, but asked Diao Ye, "Are there wolves around here?" ”

Diao Ye shook his head: "No, there is not a single wolf, there used to be wild sheep, but now there are none." ”

I said, "Whether it is man or beast, if he wants to attack us, he will definitely come, and now he can only scream from a distance, obviously to lure us there or disperse, if we go there we will be fooled." ”

The experts looked at me with a different look, with some surprise and respect, and it was obvious that they had just been panicked and had not thought of this. Amy asked, "What if someone is in danger and is calling for help?" ”

"We have to keep ourselves safe first." I would say very politely that her assumptions were untenable, that no one would call for help with such a voice, let alone from the opposite place.

Although Amy was a little disapproving, she didn't talk back, the reality is so cruel, if you can't live, how can you save others?

Xiaoxue is back, but only Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng know, and no one else can sense it. Xiaoxue was a little depressed because she didn't find any ghosts, humans or beasts, and there were no creatures within a few kilometers of the place where the sound came from. Because the strange whistling sound came from a long distance, it didn't last long, and the range was relatively large, and she couldn't determine the specific location of the sound.

Lu Qingwen looked at me with an inquiring look, meaning that the sound we heard, could it be the sound we heard last time the archaeological team heard it? I shook my head slightly, in the same way, if that mysterious thing were to lead us past, it would have been coming from a fixed direction, not for a while, and not for a while, east and west.

As soon as we relaxed a little, the strange whistling suddenly started again, this time it was clearer, like a person with a sharp throat and a long voice laughing, and it was like Hua Dan dragging his voice to sing Peking Opera, of course, it was also a little like crying.

This time I was a little out of breath, this is very likely to be the "midnight song" heard by the archaeological team, now as long as you follow the sound, it is possible to find the mysterious ruins and solve all the mysteries. But I immediately thought of the terrible appearance of Daoist Luo Mingzhong, and his warning before he died was still in his ears, don't enter that ruin!

Although I am a master compared to modern cultivators, before the mysterious phenomenon and liliang, I am insignificant, so how can I definitely defeat that mysterious existence? Confidants don't know the other, and it is not appropriate to act rashly.

Yu Chengshu's face changed greatly: "I heard that the archaeological team just heard like ...... It's like singing and crying, and then it's missing, isn't it, isn't it......"

Everyone's faces were ugly, and Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng were eager to try, hoping that I could send them to reconnoitre.

I hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "In this uninhabited place, it is reasonable to have some strange sounds in the middle of the night, this place is still far from the place where they disappeared, and there may not be a connection." Now we have absolutely no idea what the potential danger is, so we can't act rashly and wait until dawn to search the neighborhood. ”

No one raised objections, in fact, except for me, Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng, no one else had the courage to go out.

The strange whistling in the distance lasted for two or three minutes before it died down, and we gathered together and lit a campfire and told some jokes to relieve the stress. After about half an hour, the strange howl sounded again, and the experts were even more frightened, and Xiaoxue and I were a little angry, which was clearly a demonstration against me!

If I wasn't the captain, I wouldn't be able to resist running over, but now that I'm the captain, I have to think from the captain's point of view, and safety and security come first, so I'm very calm.

This time the sound disappeared after two or three minutes, and then it did not sound again, but everyone did not feel sleepy, and continued to talk and laugh around the fire, never mentioning the strange whistling and the missing archaeological team.

I suddenly had the feeling of being watched by someone again, but I couldn't determine where it was coming from, and Xiaoxue didn't have any special senses. Her perception has always been stronger than mine, her state in the past two days is normal, she didn't sense it, then it may be that I was too nervous and hallucinated.

It wasn't until after three o'clock in the morning that everyone went to bed one after another, because the driver had to drive very hard during the day, so Gao Feng and I guarded the vehicles and substances.

The night felt very slow, but it finally passed safely. After dawn, we divided into three teams, one team guarding the vehicle, and the two teams split up to search in the direction of the strange howl from last night. After more than an hour of searching, nothing special was found except for a few vague footprints.

I asked Diao Ye to see the footprints, and he said that they were left recently, but I can't be sure that someone left them last night. Nowadays, some adventure enthusiasts have gone deep into Lop Nur, and there are campfire embers, cigarette butts, and instant noodle bags in the place where we camped, so it is not surprising that there are a few footprints.

We continued on the road around eight o'clock, and everyone was not in good spirits, and the two beauties and two experts in the buggy quickly yawned. I looked normal on the surface, but I actually felt a little tired and in a trance.

I'm a little uneasy, I'm a person with profound internal cultivation, I used to not sleep at all for a few days in a row and didn't feel tired, but now I haven't slept all night and become like this, am I really old?

The car swayed, making people even more drowsy, Yu Chengshu cleared his throat and said, "Do you all want to sleep?" Shall I tell you a few supernatural events to refresh your mind? ”

The two beauties really came to the spirit and urged them to say quickly, so Yu Chengshu told the story of the disappearance of the famous geologist Peng Jiamu in Lop Nur, that is, the "Pisces Jade Pendant" incident that Ouyang Zhenfei once mentioned. However, Ouyang Zhenfei only heard about it and didn't know the details at all, but Yu Chengshu told in detail how the scientific expedition team entered Lop Nur several times at that time, as well as the disappearance of Peng Jiamu and the subsequent search and rescue.

In Yu Chengshu's mouth, things are not so mysterious, but there are indeed many doubts. For example, before Pengamu disappeared, he had asked for help from the nearby garrison, and received a positive reply that water and materials would be sent soon, and there was no need for him to go out to find water, let alone go out to find water himself. But he didn't say a word, quietly left a note and left alone, looking for water was obviously an unclever excuse. After his disappearance, a large number of convoys and planes were dispatched to conduct a large-scale search and rescue, and the scale was unprecedented, and he was still looking for him a few years later, obviously not as simple as missing a scientist. However, Yu Chengshu didn't know if there was a "Pisces Jade Pendant", and Peng Jiamu Weishenme was missing.

When Yu Chengshu was telling the story, Amy asked a few questions from time to time, Yun Feiyang sometimes added some statements or speculations that she heard, and even the driver would interject a sentence or two, only Lu Qingwen didn't say a word, obviously she knew more, but it was inconvenient to say it.

Yu Chengshu finished speaking, and he was still unfinished: "After the atomic bomb was tested several times, this area calmed down, but a few years ago, something supernatural happened. Does Yu Chunshun know? Arguably the most famous hiking adventurer in modern China, he traveled more than 40,000 miles in eight years, walking the easternmost, northernmost and westernmost parts of China, and was the first person to walk through Tibet on foot. When he walked into Lop Nur in '96, he was covered by a convoy of TV stations and tourist bureaus, and drove him around in advance, burying mineral water and food every few kilometers, and a large group of people with advanced equipment followed him. This is a show, filming TV, he only needs to walk about a hundred kilometers along the wheel tracks, and he doesn't have to worry about supplies, but Zuihou he died of thirst and starvation, and he was less than two hundred meters away from the place where the water was buried......"

I immediately thought of a proper noun: ghost hitting the wall!

Yu Chengshu sighed and said: "Externally, it was a sandstorm and he got lost, but in fact, there are salt crusts, there is not much sand, and the wheel prints are very clear. Isn't it strange that he could see the mark he had made himself at 200 meters, but he was digging the ground with a knife to find water? The place where he died is just over a hundred kilometers away from where Pengamu disappeared, and there is no denying that there is a mysterious liliang ...... in this area."

Yun Feiyang was a little unhappy: "What is Lao Yu doing, scaring people with oolongs, don't say it, don't say it." ”

Amy also said, "That's it, let's tell the story of another place." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you the story of Loulan's female corpse."

……

I was in a heavy mood, and from the first night I sensed something staring at me, and I knew that trouble was coming. But the problem is that I don't know where the danger is coming from or what it is, so I can't do anything about it, and if I can't change the situation, I'll become very reactive.

In the afternoon, passing by a mound that stood abruptly, I suddenly changed my mind, and set up camp early to spend the night here, under the pretext that everyone was tired.

Diao Ye came to me and said that if I continued to move forward, I could reach the predetermined place before dark, which was safer than in the wilderness, but I refused. Since there are no wolves and beasts here, and there are no strong winds in this season, camping in the wild is about the same as camping in the ruins. If an enemy wants to turn it against us, thinking that we are camping in the ruins, they will pounce on us, and we will be able to change from passive to active......

This area is a series of tall mounds of earth with different shapes, some like people, some like beasts, some like stalagmites, the short ones are less than one meter, and the high ones are four or five meters high, and the ground is a hard salt crust, which is very spectacular. I chose a few close under the tall mounds as camping sites, plus two cars as shields, I already felt very safe, and standing on the top of the mound to see a distant place for easy defense.

Yun Feiyang said that this kind of mound is formed because the floating soil and sand are blown away by the wind, leaving only clay rock formations, which is called Yadan landform, and there is a more spectacular place before that, called Longcheng Yadan.
