Volume 1 Cold Lake Town Chapter 3 Do you believe in the earth and an extraterrestrial civilization?

After leaving the oil town, about half an hour, I left the Mars 1 highway and entered National Highway 215.

There was no muddy gravel to get in the way, the speed of the off-road naturally increased, and soon, at the end of the sight, some low houses appeared.

This is Qin Lang's accommodation base for their scientific researchers, Lenghu Town.

Lenghu Town is only about 50 kilometers away from the Lenghu Astronomical Observation Base, because the Astronomical Observation Base is established in the Saishiten Mountain area at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.

In the area of logistics support, it is very difficult and not suitable for living, so Lenghu Town, which is not far away, is the first excellent location.

All the way into Lenghu Town, the streets are empty on both sides, only sparsely scattered, or the houses built in the nineties of the last century, which look particularly lonely.

Today's Lenghu Town is far less lively than it was back then, when there were nearly 100,000 people living in Lenghu Town, with cinemas, schools, hospitals, and small supermarkets.

With the depletion of oil and the outmigration of the population, there are only about 20,000 people left in Lenghu Town, and most of them are still elderly.

Along the way, there are only a few daily necessities stores open on both sides, and there are few people on the street.

Qin Lang was accustomed to these, manipulating the steering wheel, and wanted to enter their station, but was stopped by Luo Yingying.

Helpless, Qin Lang could only turn the head of the car and circle around Lenghu Town.

Although he didn't understand, Qin Lang didn't mean to ask, because after experiencing a lot of things, Qin Lang changed to be cheerful in college, and most of the time he was silent.

When wandering around Lenghu Town, according to Luo Yingying's instructions, I bought certain daily necessities, water, a compass, a rope, a flashlight, a candle, a shovel, and a specially approved police baton for Qin Lang to patrol and prevent danger.

These things, if they are seen by outsiders, they will think that Qin Lang is engaged in tomb robbery.

After going around and stopping in Lenghu Town for two hours, Qin Lang drove towards the Lenghu Astronomical Observation Base.

Along the way, the two talked very little, Qin Lang was like a tool man, Luo Yingying came up with some instructions from time to time, Qin Lang only had to implement them.

This is Qin Lang, but if he changes to someone else, he is afraid that he will be tortured and crazy by Luo Yingying.

A national highway is a national highway, and the off-road vehicle is almost speeding away, and at the end of the front, a huge mountain range appears, and at the top of the mountain, there are several white buildings that shimmer in the sun.

That is the Lenghu Astronomical Base established several large-scale astronomical observation equipment.

Just when he thought that Qin Lang's car was about to turn around and go up the mountain, suddenly, Qin Lang slammed the accelerator and drove straight ahead, and the speed was so fast that it disappeared at the end of the national highway in an instant.

Glancing at the empty highway in the left rearview mirror, Qin Lang said softly.

"Dr. Luo, you are very vigilant, you found out that you were being followed so quickly."

"I'm sure you found out at the beginning."

Qin Lang was noncommittal.

"Is Mr. Qin interested, analyze with me, and follow our group of people, what is the hidden purpose?"

Looking at Luo Yingying's curious look, Qin Lang didn't stay silent for long this time, groaned, and spoke.

"These people are not your scientific research team, with Dr. Luo's identity, the team members will definitely not go against your will, and in the Cold Lake Base, only those from the Security Department can appear here."

"As for who it is, I don't know yet, but with the security department here, it should be more secure for your safety, Dr. Luo doesn't seem to trust anyone."

"Hehe, I said, I only trust you, besides, it seems that you don't trust those people either."

Qin Lang and Luo Yingying looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing.

Luo Yingying was a little wrong, Qin Lang didn't distrust the Security Section, no matter how he said that the Security Section was a department of the Cold Lake Astronomical Base.

Usually there are some intersections, although there are not many friendships, but not to the point of distrust, it's just that Qin Lang is used to being alone, has a cold temperament, and doesn't like to deal with people.

In terms of familiarity with the boundary of Lenghu, no one can compare to Qin Lang, through National Highway 215, all the way to the south, through Yuka, Yadan on the water, into National Highway 315, through the 315 International Space Station, and back to Mars No. 1 Highway.

Along the way, I don't know how many directions I have changed, and I have already left the group of people in the security department behind.

In this way, from dawn to dark, I returned to the Martian camp to resupply.

Watching Qin Lang get out of the car, Zhou Shaohua was also dumbfounded, he didn't know what Qin Lang had gone through, he was so embarrassed today.

Qin Lang didn't say anything, just told Zhou Shaohua a few words, filled up the gas, stayed for less than ten minutes, and drove away.

It took so long, and this time Luo Yingying told Qin Lang that the real place of travel was an oil town about thirty or forty kilometers away from here.

When Qin Lang arrived in the oil town, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and after parking the car in a relatively private place, the two packed up their things and got out of the car.

Although I passed through the oil town during the day, the feeling of desolation deepened when I actually stepped into it.

Especially at night, under the light of a faint flashlight, in front of you, the ruins of the broken walls are standing, accompanied by gusts of wind in your ears, rolling up a gust of wind and sand.

The oil town is still very large, and even if it is deserted, it is still a sight to behold.

At this time, Luo Yingying seemed to be quite familiar with this place, and with the help of the bright moonlight in the sky, she walked inward with ease.

From time to time, he leaned over while walking, and walked quickly to some broken walls to check something, Qin Lang did not make a sound, he followed behind him all the way, looking around, looking vigilant.

Although the oil town is an abandoned place, it is also a gathering place for wild dogs, and it is still night, so if you do encounter it, it will be a bit troublesome.

For these, Luo Yingying didn't have any worries at all, and still looked forward regardless of it, and after going deep inside, passing through an abandoned hospital, Luo Yingying stopped in front of a corner and a pile of ruins.

Although there were no words, Qin Lang could still feel Luo Yingying's emotional changes, and he seemed to be a little excited.

actually picked up a shovel and turned over the ruins, although Qin Lang was puzzled, he was not idle, picked up the shovel, and also dug together.

The ruins piled in front of the two of them didn't seem to be much, but it took more than an hour for the two of them to clear half of it.

A buried dry well appeared in front of the two.

Luo Yingying lowered her body and stroked both sides of the dry well, and with the help of the glimmer of the flashlight, the word Zhenquan appeared faintly.

Luo Yingying's cold face showed a rare hint of joy, and just as she was about to go down the well with a rope, Qin Lang, who was beside her, picked up Luo Yingying, who was struggling, directly in the next moment, and ran towards the distance.

At a distance from this dry well, a ruin of about 100 meters was put down.

Luo Yingying's little face was slightly red, and she couldn't care about Qin Lang's vulgar movements, and said a little angrily.

"Qin Lang, you!"

In exchange, it was Qin Lang's light boo.

"Don't talk, someone!"

Luo Yingying was stunned, and after a while, the desolate and quiet oil town was suddenly broken by a rapid engine roar, and an off-road vehicle drove quickly.

After a while, four people got out of the car, the distance was not too far, Qin Lang swept his eyes, and he could still identify the four people.

These four people are all from the security department, and the leader is called Chen Bin, the deputy chief of the security department, in his 40s, and he is an old man from the Lenghu Astronomical Base.

and Qin Lang's master, Fu Changmin is an old acquaintance, and Qin Lang has dealt with him several times.

is refreshing, and he is one of the few people in the security department who can say a few words.

Chen Bin and the four got out of the car, as if they had known the location for a long time, and soon came to the Zhenquan dry well, the four of them did not hesitate, went down the well in turn, and soon disappeared from the sight of the two.

Looking at this scene, Luo Yingying's anger gradually subsided, and her eyes looked at Qin Lang deeply.

Qin Lang said indifferently, "Born with a sensitive ear, there is nothing to say." ”

Luo Yingying hummed softly, waited for a while, and then walked towards the dry well of Zhenquan in front of her.

"Dr. Luo, it's better to make some things clear, I don't care what agreement you reach with Fu Tai, why those people in the Security Department are following you, I don't want to know any of this."

"But there is some information, I think I still have the right to know, what will happen underground, no one knows, although I want to protect your safety during this time, but once my life is in danger, I will turn around and run, I don't want to be an unknown wrongdoer."

Luo Yingying's footsteps faltered, she was silent for a while, and then said, "Qin Lang, what you said is right, don't worry, I will inform you of some information before going down the well, I hope you don't feel that your three views will be subverted after listening." ”

"Do you believe that there are extraterrestrial civilizations on Earth?"

Luo Yingying's words directly made Qin Lang's pupils shrink.
