In KC Prefecture in mid-November, the temperature has already begun to get lower.

The moment he walked out of the airport, the oncoming cold wind made Ye Xuan shiver.

It's noon now, and the temperature is only about ten degrees, which seems to be about the same as Jinling.

KC County is located in the north of Taklamakan County, from Jinling to here, he changed planes three times, almost a day and a night spent at the airport and on the plane, the whole person is extremely tired at the moment.

Reaching out to stop a taxi, Ye Xuan came from the airport to the long-distance station, and then got on the bus, and the destination was SY County.

Fortunately, it is not too far from SY County, about forty minutes or so.

Finding a hotel casually, Ye Xuan put his backpack in the room and walked out of the hotel with sleepiness. Although he is very sleepy now, he can't sleep yet, and he needs to find a car to take him to the depths of the desert tomorrow.

Since SY County is located in the desert and there are several tourist attractions nearby, it attracts many tourists every year, so there are many private cars that pick up passengers at the station.

This type of private car is different from a taxi in that it is mainly a charter service that transports tourists to tourist attractions and takes care of their trips throughout the day or for several consecutive days. However, in the off-season of tourism, it will also act as a black car to make some extra money.

When I walked out of the hotel, I saw a whole row of off-road vehicles parked outside the station. Ye Xuan stepped forward, found a white Hyundai, and knocked on the window.

found that there was no one in the car, and just as Ye Xuan was about to change to another car, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran over from the commissary on the side.

"Does the little brother want to charter a car?" the middle-aged man smiled and asked in a mouthful of XJ-flavored Mandarin.

"Yes, chartered buses. ”

Ye Xuan nodded, opened a pack of cigarettes, and handed over one.

"Thank you. The middle-aged man took the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and then asked, "How many people?

"I'm alone, just help me get to a place. ”

Hearing him say this, the middle-aged man thought it was a tourist attraction and couldn't help asking, "Where to go?"

Spit out the smoke in his mouth, Ye Xuan took out his mobile phone, pointed to the map on the screen, and said, "This is it." ”

"Oh roar, I can't go here. ”

The middle-aged man took a look at it and immediately shook his head like a rattle. As a local who has lived in SY County for decades, he could see at a glance that the location on the map was the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert, so he refused without hesitation.

Seeing the middle-aged man's resolute face, Ye Xuan stretched out a finger, "A thousand yuan! You just need to send me over, and you can come back." ”

Obviously, the allure of a thousand dollars is very strong. I saw the middle-aged man glance at the mustache and pick it slightly, and hurriedly asked, "Is it really a thousand yuan?"

Seeing Ye Xuan nodding, the middle-aged man frowned, thought for a while, and persuaded bitterly: "What are you doing there, if you want to see the desert, I'll take you around outside the county." Brother, listen to my advice, you can't go to that place, and people will die. ”

"One thousand five! If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else. Ye Xuan added another five hundred.

"Okay, okay, you're going by yourself, don't blame me for not reminding you if something happens. The middle-aged man saw that persuasion was ineffective, so he had to agree.

After asking for the middle-aged man's phone, Ye Xuan told him to wait here at six o'clock tomorrow morning.

On the way back to the hotel, Ye Xuan casually found a restaurant. Tomorrow is going to officially enter the Taklamakan Desert, so he plans to treat himself, there are not many things to eat in the desert, and it is estimated that there will be insects to eat at that time, which is already good.

The restaurant is not big, and since it is not a meal now, there is not a single customer inside. After Ye Xuan found a place by the window and sat down, he glanced at the menu and ordered a few local specialties.

A flag pilaf, red willow grilled fish, two pieces of roasted naan, stewed mutton soup.

If it had been placed in the past, one serving of pilaf would have been enough. However, since the intensive training, his appetite has increased by two or three times.

Within a few minutes, a steaming plate of pilaf was first brought to the table by the boss.

To be honest, this one-shot flag pilaf made him a little disappointed. It's just a plate of fried rice, but with shredded carrots, bone-in lamb, and a small plate of pickles.

Wiping his hands with a tissue, Ye Xuan grabbed a small piece of rice and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly a strong smell of cumin filled his mouth. It is undeniable that cumin is indeed an indispensable spice when grilling, but it is really unacceptable to him when it is used for fried rice.

And only salt and cumin are added to the rice, and there are no other seasonings. But disappointed to disappointed, he still took a big gulp.

When a plate of pilaf was almost finished, the rest of the dishes were served on the table. The red willow grilled fish is not big, but it looks very good, the whole fish is grilled brown on the outside, and it is sprinkled with red chili flakes and cumin powder.

Ye Xuan tore off a piece of grilled fish, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it, then nodded with satisfaction. The taste is not too outstanding, and it hasn't changed much compared to the grilled fish in other places, but the grilled fish is very well cooked, and the exterior is a little crispy, while the meat inside is exceptionally tender.

As for the roasted naan, there was nothing special, and the most surprising thing for him was the bowl of stewed mutton soup. To be reasonable, Ye Xuan had also drunk a lot of mutton soup before, but this bowl was completely different from the mutton soup he had drunk before, he could hardly feel the smell, and the taste was delicious. The key soup is clear, and it seems that no other seasonings have been added except salt, and it is completely original mutton aroma.

A bowl of mutton soup was in his stomach, Ye Xuan felt that it was not enjoyable, so he ordered another stewed mutton soup, and tasted it slowly and logically with roasted naan and grilled fish.

Half an hour later, he burped and touched his stomach in satisfaction. This meal is not expensive, the total is less than 100 yuan, if it is placed in Jinling, it will start at least 200 yuan.

After eating and drinking, and returning to the hotel room, Ye Xuan changed the name of the live broadcast room to the live broadcast time, and then made a phone call to his contracted editor Qiao Xue to inform her that she would broadcast live at noon tomorrow. I called Qiao Xue to make it easier to arrange a recommendation in advance.

After doing this, he couldn't hold it anymore, lay down on the soft bed, and soon fell asleep.

......

Drones, remote controls, batteries, mobile phone power banks, satellite phones, emergency medical kits, daggers, water bottles, windproof sunglasses.

After carefully counting them several times and finding that there were no omissions, Ye Xuan put them into his backpack one by one. It took 13 days to prepare, and although he had learned a lot about surviving in the desert during this time, he was still nervous when he was about to set off.

In the endless years, the Taklamakan Desert, a sea of death, has devoured countless lives. Ye Xuan didn't know if he would be next, but it was certain that this would be the biggest challenge he had faced so far.

"Whew!"

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm his uneasy heart, Ye Xuan put on his backpack and slowly pushed open the door of the hotel.

At six o'clock in the morning, the streets are bleak.

Ye Xuan tightened his neckline, resisted the dry cold wind, and walked quickly towards the station.

The middle-aged big brother was very punctual, and he was already waiting there early. Pulling the car door, Ye Xuan sat in the co-pilot and nodded at him.

Soon, the off-road vehicle started, gradually driving away from the county and heading towards the depths of the desert.
