Everything was according to Wang Haiyang's plan, we flew from Xi'an to Urumqi, fortunately Ye Guangci brought all the spare ID cards, which were all printed out with the nano printer on the spaceship, Qin Yinian, and Nie so they each made five, I was worried about the trouble of reapplying for the card, so he also printed two for me by the way. Otherwise, you really won't even be able to get on a plane.

Then we transferred from Urumqi to Turpan, and our two modified desert buggies had been consigned a few days earlier.

We rested in Turpan for a day, filled the car with fuel, checked the condition of the car and all the equipment, and set off to the Kumtag Desert the next day, passing through the Kumtag Desert, which is the small town of Lop Nur, and then dozens of kilometers west from the town is the real largest desert in China, the Taklamakan Desert.

Last time we were attacked by marching ants in the Kumtag Desert, and in the end, we almost killed each other with a toxin attack, but this time we were calm along the way, and we didn't encounter anything, we spent the night in the Kumtag Desert, and the next morning we arrived in the town of Lop Nur.

As soon as I came to this town, Wei Shengjin was about to go to the front desk aunt of the hotel to settle the account, and I hurriedly stopped him: "You want to die!" Don't you see the police station right next to it? Do you want to find the spirit pattern soon? That aunt must also be threatened by Jin Buliu, what can an ordinary person like her do? ”

Wei Shengjin scolded in his mouth, and he didn't forget it.

Then we refilled the gas station with fresh water and went to the small noodle restaurant. The last time we got out of trouble, it was this boss who helped us.

The noodle shop was empty, and the noodle shop owner was happy when he saw so many customers, but when he recognized me and Wei Shengjin, he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and gave us a thumbs up: "I said two brothers, you are really full of food and support!" Wasn't that enough last time? This time the group is coming again? ”

I smiled and said, "What's the matter, without us people, what kind of noodle restaurant do you open in this place where birds don't?"

The boss smiled awkwardly: "That's the same!" But I'm also worried about you, in fact, there are not many people who actually come to this desert adventure every year, those people's so-called expeditions are just tours, and they go around dozens of kilometers around, take photos and set up a tent for the night and go back, there are really not many people like you who play with their lives! I've been here for almost ten years, and I've met a few times like you, but ......"

Wei Shengjin shouted: "But what is it? Could it be that Chengdu is dead? ”

The boss smiled and shook his head: "Not all dead, but the rest is not much better than dead, what I remember the most is that the year before last, it was a summer noon, there was a group of about seven or eight people, also drove two cars to my store to eat noodles, listen to their conversation said that it is archaeological, but look at their fierce looks, I don't look like any archaeology at all, but like tomb robbers." As a result, within a few days, a large number of police and troops came, and there were helicopters in the sky, all of which entered the desert from us, so I was particularly impressed, and the next day the soldiers of the army rescued those people from the desert, and one died, and everyone else went crazy, and it was really scary to bite whoever they saw! ”

We were all silent when we heard the words, and the boss thought that we were frightened, so he hurriedly said, "I'll just talk about a few of them." The main thing is to let you be more careful, there is no other meaning, what do you eat? ”

Wei Shengjin smiled: "A big bowl of mutton noodles, and a big plate of mutton, if I'm really crazy this time, I won't be able to eat such delicious mutton!" After eating, let's get out of the way! ”

Wang Haiyang laughed: "Don't worry! You're going crazy, I promise to feed you lamb every day! ”

The boss saw that the four of us didn't pay any attention to his warning, and had to walk away in embarrassment.

We drove all the way west after eating and drinking in the small noodle restaurant, Wei Shengjin and I were in the back car, Ye Guangci and Wang Haiyang opened the road in front, and slowly the trees on the side of the road became shrubs, and then the shrubs were gone, and what caught our eyes was an endless sea of sand, and I couldn't see anything else, and I was dizzy in the sunlight.

Before coming, Wang Haiyang told me that he had already located the location where he found the Spirit Pattern Flying Knife in the desert last time, so this time we went straight to our destination.

The car drove for more than four hours, surrounded by never-ending sand, Wei Shengjin was driving, I was still highly nervous, but this way, there was no accident, the blue sky outside the window, cloudless, I was drowsy with the air conditioner in the car, and simply pressed the seat to sleep.

Just when I was sleeping in a daze, I suddenly felt my body rush forward, I opened my eyes and saw that it was Wei Shengjin who braked suddenly, but fortunately I was wearing a safety belt, or my head had to be broken.

"You're sick! What kind of car are you driving in the desert?" I was disturbed from my good sleep, and I couldn't get angry.

Wei Shengjin ignored me, just looked forward intently, I suddenly felt wrong, looked forward through the car window, only to see the scorching sun outside the window, the white sand dunes rose and fell, there was nothing abnormal, but I took a closer look at the place where the desert and the sky met at the end of the field of vision, there was a line of green, it seemed to be an oasis in the desert.

I said to Wei Shengjin, who was still looking ahead: "That should be an oasis, which means that there is a lake in front of you, which is a good thing!" What are you making such a fuss about! ”

"But I haven't seen the oasis yet! Why did it suddenly appear" Wei Shengjin shook his head and said, it seems that after experiencing so many life and death tribulations, this benevolent brother has also become cautious.

I laughed and punched him: "Do you have a little common sense, the sand dunes in this desert are undulating, our car goes up and down with the terrain, and the oasis is so far away, you see it for a while, of course, you can see it for a while, and you can't see it for a while."

Wei Shengjin nodded.

At this time, Wang Haiyang and Ye Guangci also followed, and Ye Guangci asked on the walkie-talkie, "You also saw it?" How can there be an oasis in this vast desert? According to the satellite positioning, we also took this route last time, and it shouldn't deviate too much, but last time we didn't see any oasis at all! ”

I heard it clearly on the sidelines, and immediately fell into deep thought: such a big oasis, if so many of them entered the desert last time, it can only mean that there is no oasis here, could it be that what kind of mirage we encountered this time? I also started to get nervous, along the way, I encountered too many unbelievable strange things, every time it was dangerous, almost lost my life, no wonder even Wei Shengjin began to become cautious.

"I just don't think something is right, so what do I do now?" Wei Shengjin asked.

I said into the walkie-talkie: "This oasis is on our way, let's continue to drive according to the original route, if we can go around the best, if we can't get around, let's take a closer look first." ”
