The first hint of a strange sign is related to superpowers in consciousness.

Just now, when the convoy approached a distance of about fifty kilometers near the "target", Long Yun began to gradually feel the faint sense of consciousness in front of him. Comparing the direction of the convoy, he was keenly aware that this disturbing disturbance of consciousness was coming from the direction of the "dead city", which can be said to be both reasonable and somewhat unexpected.

Carefully feeling the familiar consciousness fluctuations coming from ahead, it felt very similar to the situation when he repeatedly encountered the "energy media" before, Long Yun couldn't help but think that it was because of what Zakaev said, there were a large number of energy media gathered in the "dead city", so there was a sense of induction?

Although he is still not sure what kind of existence the mysterious force that shrouds the "dead city" is, after having this sense of déjà vu, Long Yun sees a glimmer of hope: if this mysterious power is stimulated by the "energy medium", maybe he can really gradually approach the "dead city" without being affected by it, and even enter the interior of the "Rome" base to try to uncover the truth of the events that have been sealed for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Long Yun decided to remain silent for the time being and let the convoy continue to move forward tentatively, he wanted to see how he would feel if he approached further, or to verify his inference, to see if he could break through the barrier of mysterious power and really enter the "dead city"?

As the convoy jolted forward with the roar of the engines, Long Yun's speculation was gradually confirmed.

On the canvas seat next to him, the radio communication equipment connected to the antenna outside the car squeaked and interfered, apparently close to failure; And that's not all. He was still able to feel it stronger and stronger. That indescribable sense of mystery is gradually intensifying.

And judging from Long Yun's observations. Although he hadn't felt Yan Zòng's discomfort yet, the soldiers escorting him forward in the crew cabin were obviously in a bad situation, and seemed to be experiencing inexplicable psychological torture.

Sure enough, ordinary people can't approach the "dead city" at all, even if there are considerable shielding measures.

Observing the gradual deterioration of the condition of the members in the car, Long Yun knew that they were already in inexplicable danger at this time: the soldiers in front of him were obviously wearing electromagnetic shielding suits with poor comfort, but their faces behind the masks still showed confused and painful expressions. From time to time, they peeked into the periscope, and then stared at the radiation dosimeter that was temporarily placed in the car:

The readings on the dosimeter were still "zero" and nothing was monitored.

Neither high-energy rays nor conventional ionizing radiation; So what the hell is it that is capable of penetrating the fully enclosed metal compartment of the BMP-2E, through the electromagnetic protective suit shielded by the whole body of metal mesh, exerting an invisible and terrible influence on the consciousness of the soldiers?

A little sweat unconsciously appeared in his palms, and he threw the map book in his hand aside, Long Yun had already made a decision in his heart, it was time to end this adventure and let him get out of the car and move forward alone.

"Stop. - Comrade Commander! That's it! ”

Roaring at the roaring sound of machinery, the commander finally heard Long Yun's words clearly. But at this time, the on-board radio and lighting equipment were close to failure, and the commander could only stop the vehicles in front and behind by leaning out of the car and waving a small flag.

"Are you going to get off the trek, Comrade Rezenov?"

"Yes, it's too dangerous to go any further, I feel okay. -- Look at it like this, I can't guarantee that the entire circuit of the car will fail, so you can quickly retreat after I get out of the car! ”

"Understood, then we'll be on standby in the back!"

Seeing the gesture given by Long Yun, Zakharov, who was sitting by the tailgate of the car, replied and turned the handle with great effort, and a dry rolling heat wave swept in, and he waited for Long Yun to jump out of the cabin and get out of the car.

Exposed to the blazing afternoon sun, Long Yun raised his hand to buckle up a wide-brimmed sun hat, put on a thick mask, and raised his collar to cover his neck to avoid sunburn.

In the process of gradually approaching the target before, although he felt that there was an obvious sense of strangeness in his consciousness, there was no painful feeling, which gave Long Yun a certain amount of confidence. Glancing at the unseen destination in the distance, he scrutinized the equipment in the huge carrying gear, which, in addition to the necessary food and tools, included a regular AKS74 short assault rifle provided by Zakharov, three stuffy plastic magazines filled with bullets, and a Makarov pistol for melee use.

Carrying the AKS74 handed by Zakharov on his shoulder, Long Yun took out two or three bullets from several magazines and put them in his bag.

The long spear is behind his back, and the short spear is pinned under his armpit, and the reason why he carries these heavy weapons is also just in case: although he has looked around on the way here, not to mention the living people, not even decent animals within a radius of dozens of kilometers here, but he is not sure what happened in the "dead city" now, it is better to be a little prepared than nothing.

As for the heavy weight of firearms and ammunition, it is not a problem for him for the time being.

"So...... Good luck! ”

"Don't worry, Comrade Zakharov, you guys hurry back! - Goodbye! ”

Seeing that Zakharov's face was not very good, and it was estimated that he was barely able to endure the discomfort at this time, Long Yun hurriedly beckoned him to get into the car, and then strode towards the direction of the "dead city" pointed out by the consciousness sense.

Bidding farewell to the three BMP-2Es that slowly turned around and left, feeling the scorching sun in the desert and the gusts of hot wind blowing in all directions, Long Yun, who was carrying heavy carrying equipment, walked forward without a moment's delay. On this adventurous journey, he didn't plan to save his body too much, because in the vast desert that seemed to have no sense of direction, the inexplicable feeling coming from ahead could guarantee that he would never get lost; Since he could have rested a little earlier if he had walked a moment earlier, he should have been able to reach the "dead city" before the sun went down.

Of course, this kind of plan needs to have a premise, that is, you can resist the invasion of mysterious forces.

With this thought, Long Yun walked forward, vigilantly paying attention to the state of his mind, and was ready to turn around and flee for his life at any time, but he never found any life-threatening signs.

Only then did he gradually relax his mind, and it seemed that his speculation was correct.

Walking on the desolate Gobi Desert, Long Yun maintained his speed at about five kilometers per hour; Nearly three hours on this, he stopped and took out his jug to drink some water, and then glanced at the time.

The mechanical watch on his wrist showed that it was already seven o'clock in the evening in the fourth time zone.

Seeing that the dark red sun had almost completely set, and everything in his sight was plated with a light dark red, Long Yun intuitively determined that the undulating landscape in the distance was the destination of this desert adventure. After walking a few dozen meters further, he stood on a slightly raised terrain, standing on tiptoe to look at the hazy silhouette that was fading into the night in the distance.
