346 Dragon's Trail

Anna hummed a tune, William was quietly reading a book on the side, the two were riding in a modified Beijing jeep, the interior of these two seemingly ordinary and simple jeeps had already been transformed beyond recognition, if they were stopped by a military uncle on the road, it would be a package of fines, detention and squatting in prison - serious people would install radar machine guns on off-road jeeps?

William has always been very skeptical about the attitude of governments towards the Half-Blood Secret Party, and from the original book, the world of the dragon slayers is far from reality, and even gives people the impression that the government is incompetent.

Half-bloods can use their supernatural power 'Speech Spirit' to rise above secular governments, but now...... William can only think that there is a large number of half-breeds hidden in the secular government who are working for the secret party.

In this way, this armed jeep full of black technology modification is speeding on the uneven salt shell of Lop Nur, which probably makes sense.

William looked at Anna's drive, and wondered if she really knew the path: "Hey, senior sister." ”

"HMPH, HAHAHA!" ANNA, WHO WAS WEARING BIG HEADPHONES, SHOOK HER HEAD AND HUMMED, WILLIAM SQUINTED AT HER FOR A FEW SECONDS, REACHED OUT AND PULLED THE HEADPHONES AWAY, AND LUCKILY DANTIAN: "LOKTAROGA!"

"Ah————" The jeep slid several big bends in a row in the Gobi Desert, William stepped on the brakes, and the jeep barely stopped, Anna was disheveled, her eyes were straight for a long time, she grabbed William, and shook hysterically: "Ahh

"Senpai, do you want to kill someone?" William said as he rubbed his neck and coughed dryly.

"Live...... Deserve. Anna gasped, "Who called you...... It's not good to ask, it's all your fault. ”

"If I don't make a loud noise, will you take care of me?" William looked at the Gobi in front of him helplessly: "I said, senior sister, do you recognize the way?"

"It's very soon, and the place ahead is where those people were killed. Anna said: "Five generations, six generations, no, almost all dragons are creatures that are obsessed with the nest, and they will not leave the nest easily. It's likely still there. ”

"Are there many dragons in Lop Nur?" William looked around at the surrounding landscapes, Yadan, salt crusts, deserts, and the ears of the world on satellite photos.

"You just know, this is a place where dragons appear frequently, do you know how Lop Nur dried up?"

"Could it be related to the dragons?" asked William curiously.

"After BC, Lop Nur was still a big lake, and geographers said that Lop Nur was diverted because of the Peacock River, why didn't they study why the Peacock River was diverted?"

"The ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, does this matter still have anything to do with them?"

"Otherwise, why would this great power in the Western Regions suddenly decline?"

"This is not written in the history of the dragons. ”

"Of course I didn't write it, it's too long ago, and many people are just guessing. I probably talked about the specialized courses in the senior year, but I didn't have much interest, and I only remembered a little bit. Anna narrowed her eyes: "It is now generally believed that there is a half-breed with a secret mission hidden in the royal family of Loulan Kingdom, guarding something in the Tarim Basin, and it is also the existence hidden under Lop Nur back then. ”

"Is there really a dragon king there?"

"God knows, but in the end, it was a dragon who did it with them. If you are a Chinese, you should be familiar with the history of Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms, so I will give you a long story short. ”

William wanted to say sorry in his heart, according to what he had seen in his previous life for many years, even among the posture molecular class, there were not many people who had studied history, and the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms were really too niche.

"When Loulan moved south, it was the time when the barbarian melee in the north was at its most intense, and not only humans, but also half-bloods and dragons were involved. At that time, there was a man named Li Wei who occupied the area of Ganxi in southern Xinjiang and established the Xiliang regime, and it is now widely believed that this monarch should be a priest loyal to the dragon clan, and it is also likely that he is a dragon. He made a surprise visit to Loulan in 416, and this part of the official history was erased. But he did get here.

He caused an incident here, turning the vast oasis into a wasteland in a few nights, and the Peacock River quickly dried up and diverted, but we have found out that none of the dragon kings are buried here, but there are still many dragons here, and they are all scum of low blood. ”

"So our attitude is to leave it alone and deal with it when the dragon appears?" William curious.

"Who said we left it alone?" Anna raised her eyebrows: "If we don't care, how can this become the largest nuclear weapons test site in the flower country after the 60s?

“...... Well, it's under the service. William swallowed, indicating that his imagination was limited by poverty again, he looked ahead, and suddenly pressed the steering wheel: "Wait, how is there anyone there?"

"It's broken. Anna glanced at it, stepped on the brakes, and showed a frightened emotion on her face: "It's the military department of the flower country, how can this be?"

"It's just a few cops, what are you afraid of?" William said speechlessly.

"But...... Why didn't you clear the scene in advance? What do you do with logistics?" Anna scratched her head, looking irritable and distressed, but there were many similar experiences, and she was not very flustered: "Quick, open the call, make up for the information leaks for us, and arrange brainwashing personnel to be on standby." ”

The Huaguo police obviously noticed the uninvited jeep, and when they opened the window, they were also surprised to see two crooked nuts, William looked at Anna with a cowardly look, and was even more speechless, so he had to smile at the police uncle Clam and opened his mouth in standard Mandarin: "Hey, Uncle Policeman, we are archaeology enthusiasts, I heard that the archaeological team here has discovered new ruins, so come and visit!"

This Mandarin shocked the police uncle for a moment, he looked up and down at William and Anna's appearance, checked the visa, and saw that it was only yesterday that he could not be the murderer, and his face became a little better: "There was a murder here, there is nothing to see, Lop Nur is not a place to visit and travel casually, it is not dark yet, it is too late to go out, hurry up, if you don't know the direction, we can provide a guide." ”

"Murder?" William responded by pretending to be frightened, looking at the policeman's unwelcome eyes, and said stubbornly: "However, we are really curious, can we take a look at it, take a look and leave." ”

"Brother foreigner, it's really not good, don't embarrass us. The policeman's uncle said, "If you really want to see it, you can find a way to get our superiors to approve a note, and I can let you in." ”

Batch slivers?...... The corners of William's mouth twitched, involving a murder case, don't you want to go around the embassy, the cultural department and the criminal department?

He was struggling, Anna poked her head out, handed the old Nokia in her hand to the police, and said in crooked fruity Chinese: "Your director asked the person in charge here to answer the phone." ”

William looked at the head of the police in amazement and nodded, and then Anna and William became 'foreign investigators' and entered the camp in a grand manner, feeling the thunder rolling in the sky, and having a deeper understanding of the power of half-breeds in real society.

No wonder Caesar's family is so good, the dragon clan has not yet fallen and pondered the matter of the half-breed ruling the world, this kind of infiltration and control, I am afraid it will not happen overnight.

The two followed the police into the fenced enclosed area, and heard several foreigners arguing with the police: "Why? Why don't you let us go to see the professor's body, the professor's hard work can't stay in this desolate ghost place!"

The police stopped them and shouted, "You can cooperate with the investigation, but you are not allowed to destroy the crime scene!"

"Why can they go in and we can't?"

......

"Don't you want to get these cops out?" William whispered, approaching Anna, who was silent.

"Look at this. Anna did not answer, but frowned and pointed to the professor's body at the scene.

The body was already slightly dehydrated, and the huge beast tear marks cut his body off the neck, which looked extremely terrifying, but what attracted the attention was even more under the professor, it was a coffin, the dry bones in the coffin had long since withered, but it gave William a strange feeling.

He saw the mosaic fragments on the dry bones and realized something: "The grave of the half-blood?"

"Hmm. Anna nodded: "It seems that this is indeed the case, but ...... What kind of place could this be?"

"The Peacock River Ancient Road, further north is the place where the Loulan beauties were unearthed. William looked at the positioning.

"Loulan beauty ......" didn't know what to think, Anna also shuddered, and glanced at William: "Go back to the car first, and talk about it in the evening." ”

"Do you really care about these cops?" asked William.

"If the logistics department can't manage it, then it can't manage it. Anna said helplessly: "Our work should be kept secret, and besides, this place ...... It's special. ”

William nodded, no more questions, and Anna quietly leaned back in their chairs, time passed slowly, the policemen looked at their watches, came to negotiate with Anna, they wondered why several superiors had jointly issued a strange order, asking all the policemen to retreat and report, and none of them stayed.

While tidying up the scene, they came to persuade Anna William to go with them, and they had no choice but to leave if the persuasion was fruitless, who let the order from above tell them to leave these two people alone?

The Gobi quickly became empty, William breathed a sigh of relief, Anna drove the car a little farther away, pressed a button on the car, and the wheels deformed into a structure like digging wheels, and after a moment of turmoil, the SUV was mostly buried under the desert.

The sand did not penetrate in, the lights illuminated the carriage, and a periscope-like observation window poked up from the roof of the car, William closed his eyes, and when he woke up, he felt a cold feeling on the back of his hand, he looked at the trembling little hand covered by the back of his hand, and looked at Anna with some surprise: "Senior sister, are you scared?"

"I ...... How could I be afraid?" said Anna, with white lips, "It's frozen." ”

William laughed.

"Laugh, laugh at what?" Anna was annoyed, "I haven't moved in the dark yet." ”

"Yes, you're a good man who slaughtered four dragons. William teased.

"you. Anna said, suddenly raised her head, and sighed: "I'm sorry, junior, before the action, I will have a lot of pressure, my former teammates were scolded by me, and this kind of ...... Not quite a good move, I don't really have any thoughts about you, really. When I was a kid, I just grabbed my dad's hand when I was in a bad mood. ”

"After all, it's a desperate job, understandable. Feeling the back of his hand being grasped a little tighter, William comforted, "I'm honored to be your father." ”

"He's dead. Anna glared at William viciously.

"Oh, sorry. William covered his mouth.

"It doesn't matter. Anna shook her head and let go of her hand: "Why did you come to slay the dragon?"

"Exciting!" William said perfunctorily, "Is there anything more exciting than this?"

"No wonder, no wonder you're not afraid at all. Anna squeezed out a smile: "But...... I advise you not to come out for a while, the battle is terrible...... Your mindset may not be ready. ”

"Alas, senior sister, you are so kind, to be honest, I am also scared to death in my heart, I don't know how many swear words I have spoken. William said, "It's all up to you in a moment." ”

"You...... Never mind. Anna sighed and shook her head.

"By the way, senior sister, why did you come to slay dragons? ”

"Because this is the only job I can do?" she reluctantly lit a cigarette: "We are half-breeds, half-breeds who can only huddle together for warmth, at least the salary is not bad." ”

"Ahh

"Hey!" Anna sneered and pushed William away, "Can't you be serious?"

"Can you be a girl or something?"

Anna rolled her eyes, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed: "Hey, you must listen to me for a while, don't come out, dragons are very terrible things, even if they are six generations." ”

"Doesn't it mean that the IQ of the low-level dragons is low?"

"The IQ of tigers and leopards is also very low, but when you fight them hand-to-hand in the jungle, do you think they are stupid?" Anna said seriously: "Don't think that with high-tech weapons, you can despise the low-level dragons, these things only flatten the strength gap between us and them, it is their instinct to use natural strength, don't underestimate them, wait, there is movement." ”

Her muscles tensed and she began to pray silently, and through the view of the window camera, an off-road vehicle was speeding towards her.

Looking at the two foreigners who got out of the car, Anna relaxed slightly and became vigilant again.

These two men were the ones who had been tangled with the police in the afternoon, and they seemed to be students of the archaeology professor.

"Driving here late at night, they don't want to die, is there gold there?" William looked at these crooked nuts and began to dig the coffin, and couldn't help but complain: "If you don't open a probing ditch, you can directly get a big shovel, and you don't even need a hand shovel, do you do archaeology like this? ”

"Don't speak. Anna pressed William: "Look at this. ”

Her expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and behind the two archaeologists who were digging sand, there was a faint light like gold flickering in the dark night between the yellow sand.
