The three of them hurriedly dressed and continued to walk north-west along the highway. The road Hong Tao mentioned was one of the routes he planned when he drove through Lop Nur with his wealthy daughter in his previous life, and although it was not used in the end, he still had a general impression.

This road starts from TMG City, inserts diagonally into the north side of the Tarim Basin in the southwest, passes through LT County, and finally arrives at Dunkuotan Town, which is dozens of kilometers south of KC City.

It was originally built to transport oil from the Donghe oil field, and after the Tuhe highway was introduced further north, few people except for the big trucks of the oil field and some off-road enthusiasts left. Oh yes, and there are some people who will drive along this road to Luntai South and then take the famous desert road.

In any case, Hong Tao felt that the redeemers did not have so many manpower to block dozens or even hundreds of kilometers in the Gobi environment, and this road should be able to bypass Kuqa.

After sending these two people away, he will go north from Kuqa to the southern section of the Duku Highway, what is the collapse of the mountain, what is the avalanche is not an avalanche, if there is a road, you can walk, if there is no road, you can climb the mountain, and you can return to Nalati within the estimated time.

Look, what the best of both worlds, not only did not delay his exploration of southern Xinjiang, but also gave the rebels a big favor in vain. When one day he really comes to southern Xinjiang, he will never catch himself as a redeemer after meeting.

You can fight as much as you want between the two forces, and we will not mix. In the future, if one day the East Asian Alliance really attacks on a large scale, he will take the Crimean family to set up camp and continue grazing near the equally picturesque Kanas Lake.

If it doesn't work, simply cross the Altai Mountains and enter the territory of Russia, which is also a good place with rich water and grass, beautiful scenery, and mountains and rivers.

"What are you doing?" After walking for about an hour, Hong Tao gradually fell behind, bending down from time to time to pick up something in the thick sand. This made Representative Xu very vigilant, is it so blatant to mark the pursuers?

"Make an alarm, if someone is chasing us from behind, we can hear it from a long distance." Hong Tao didn't feel that his actions were suspicious at all, and he explained it righteously.

"Hey...... Hey, don't step on it, your feet will be blown off! What I didn't expect was that this Representative Xu's character not only had tenacity, but also two hundred and five, she actually ran back, crawled on the ground and took a closer look. Frightened, Hong Tao wanted to go over to stop him, but he didn't dare to approach.

“…… Mr. Cao, the herdsmen in Xinjiang Province really opened my eyes, and they were actually equipped with anti-infantry mines, which I think should be used to protect the sheep! ”

The explosion did not sound, and Representative Xu obviously knew this, so he crawled on the ground and looked at it a few times before leaving, smiling and praising the outstanding people in his hometown with a smile on his glasses.

"Ground, mines!" The man with glasses was very childish, and his glasses almost fell off the bridge of his nose, blinking his eyes vigorously, trying to give Hong Tao an X-ray scan of his whole body.

"When I bought a pistol, Lao Maozi gave it to me, but I never wanted to use it. Deputy Xu should be able to recognize that they are all Russian-made butterfly mines, which are not very powerful, and they just listen to a loud message. Hong Tao replied so freely, as if saying that when buying cigarettes, the proprietress saw that she was handsome, and gave a few extra lighters.

"Y-Who the hell are you?" It's a pity that the man with glasses doesn't have the bearing of Representative Xu, and he doesn't believe Hong Tao's nonsense.

"It doesn't matter who I am, if I want to catch you both across the river, I'll do it. If I'm afraid that I'll find out the location of your accomplices, then we'll break up when we get to Kuqa, and in fact I don't want to go any further. There is no need for the three of us to figure out the details of each other, we should be companions on the road, and we can overcome difficulties and obstacles together, isn't it? ”

Hong Tao knew that doing good deeds would be particularly troublesome, and he was always doubted about his motives and then his abilities, and in the end, he didn't necessarily get all gratitude. But he has this addiction, and when he is alone, he has to pretend to be the righteous Yuro.

But it is still necessary to avoid revealing too many identities, resolutely not saying what can be said, and resolutely not using what can not be used. Those butterfly thunders are really necessary, otherwise I don't know if anyone will catch up with them. If you really wait to see a horse team or a motorcycle team on the vast Gobi, then it's all night.

"Compare ......"

"Biges!"

"Oh, Brother Billes, we're not trying to investigate your identity, but some things will inevitably make people curious, and Mr. Cao should just be a little curious. We have already negotiated the conditions before, and you are in charge on the road, and you can go when you say you go, and stop when you say you stop. Curiosity doesn't stop us from being friends, and you can ask us some questions. ”

Seeing that Hong Tao was a little impatient, Representative Xu was quite good at playing a round game, and wanted to use the words to talk to Hong Tao and learn more about the situation in the way of redemption. In fact, even if she told all the top-secret documents of the East Asian Alliance, she would have nothing to lose, who would Hong Tao tell her, and who would believe it. This little abacus has a bit of Linna's flavor again.

"I don't have any curiosity, let's use it on my legs if I have energy, and walk faster!" Of course, Hong Tao will not be fooled by this, and the conversation will not be talked about for a while. But what he said was good, but his legs refused to speed up, and he led the horse to follow until the other two men were ahead.

When he just passed Korla, Hong Tao didn't feel that there was much change in southern Xinjiang, at most there was a little more green along the way, but the Gobi was still Gobi, a little windy, and the sand and dust were still flying all over the sky.

But the farther west you go, the more bizarre the scenery becomes, crossing the river at about 9 a.m., and finally seeing the ruins of the city around 3 p.m. Judging by the number of zombies roaming the ruins, it should not have been cleaned up. In this short distance of more than 40 kilometers, the terrain along the way has changed dramatically.

The most immediate feeling is that there is a lot of water, and this road is next to the southern foot of the Tien Shan mountain range, and the nearest place is less than half a kilometer. Originally, there should have been a continuous bald mountain on the right, but now there is a stream or river not far away.

The snow melted from the mountains rushed down the ravines and flowed happily to the other side. As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places, so where do all these trickles end up, please look to the left.

The left side of the road should have been farmland and orchards, and the Gobi Desert farther away. What now? The farmland has become an endless stretch of vegetation more than a person high, including corn and sorghum, but most of the flood waves are unrecognizable, and the height is very lush.

Farther away, the Gobi Desert is also disappearing, and has been divided into wetlands and swamps by a pool of stagnant water. Now Hong Tao finally knows what the plants that grow luxuriantly on the roadside are, reeds! Most of the farmland has been turned into reeds on the outskirts of the wetland.

The intersection leading to the Donghe oil field is still there, but as far as the eye can see, there are piles of reeds and puddles of different sizes in the east and west, and it is difficult to find them without deliberately looking for them.

In order to make it more difficult for others to find, Hong Tao also took out pliers and removed the street signs. In fact, it is not difficult to dismantle or dismantle, the paint on the metal brand has fallen off, and there is no handwriting.

When he got here, Hong Tao decided to rest, the scenery is rich, but the road will definitely not be too easy to walk, and it is necessary to eat something to save up physical strength.

Representative Xu's physical strength is really good, she walked at a relatively fast pace for several hours, she didn't shout tired except for being a little tired, and she didn't have leg pain and foot pain, obviously after strict training.

"Those trees don't grow naturally, do they?" But she still shows some girl-specific curiosity about the scenery in front of her, picking a few wildflowers when she has nothing to do, and asking questions without hesitation when she encounters plants she doesn't know, as if she is on an outing.

"It should be pear trees, Korla fragrant pears are famous in the Old World, there should have been many pear trees planted in this area, but most of them were drowned. It's a pity that we didn't come at the right time, we could see patches of pear blossoms more than a few months earlier, and we will be able to eat pears in another month! ”

The man with glasses didn't seem to know where the woods came from, so they turned their eyes to this side. Hong Tao is naturally the best, this is not a university question, as long as people who have been in the old world, even if they don't know the pear tree, they can't forget the sweet and juicy pear.

"Oh, to make you think of it, I ate it when I was a child...... It's a pity that I forgot the taste. I really want to taste the pomegranates from my hometown again...... Mr. Cao, are there more pomegranate trees in KS? ”

When I was a child, I always have deep memories of delicious food, and many of them can accompany people for a lifetime. Representative Xu is no exception, although she left here at a young age, the memory of delicious food is still there.

"More, squeeze a glass of pomegranate juice and chill it in a deep well for a few hours, it's the most delicious drink in the summer, and yogurt with crushed ice and honey." The man with glasses was also infected by this emotion, and a slight smile appeared on his face, reminiscing about the delicious food he liked.

"Yes, yes, there are sour **, belly meat, pot meat, roasted buns, ......" As soon as it came to eating, Representative Xu finally revealed the lively waves she should have at her age, and counted the taste she still remembered with her fingers, even if it was covered by black gauze and goggles, she couldn't hide her eyebrows.

Hong Tao is also laughing, Xinjiang Province is a large agricultural province, especially rich in dried fruits and fruits. Not to mention the specialties of cantaloupe and raisin, which are famous all over the country, such as Korla fragrant pear, Tex apple, Kuqa small white apricot, KS pomegranate, Shache almond, Yecheng walnut, Hotan jujube, AKS thin-skinned walnut...... They are all excellent local specialties, and the yield is not very high, and even if you eat them when you leave the local area, it is likely to be fake.

"Shhhhh......h

"......" Seeing Hong Tao's expression, the expressions of the glasses man and Representative Xu immediately became solemn, they didn't hear any abnormal sound, but they could probably guess what the sound was coming from, landmines!
