Chapter 299
Ambulance in Devil's Town
The next day, Wang Meihua and Su Yunnuan got up early, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then left the institute.
Because they had made collective contributions, they were given two days of vacation and were allowed to go to the nearby market to play.
This opportunity is very rare, so Wang Meihua and Su Yunnuan cherish it very much.
The two took the research institute's car to the market, and their eyes lit up.
This market has a very northwestern flavor, with many murals, totems, and northwestern snacks.
The two of them walked and stopped, and bought some items with Northwest characteristics, such as sheep oil for face washing, a few murals, and scarves and headscarves with totem patterns printed on them.
Girls don't buy things for practicality, they just start buying as long as they think something looks good.
After being tired from walking around, I went to a roadside stall to eat mutton dumpling soup and hand-pulled mutton.
It didn't take long for both of them to have bloated bellies.
"Hey, have you heard? Something happened in that Devil's Town again. Many people who went in have not been found."
"Yeah, it's really dangerous there. I heard that once someone went in there, he turned into dried bacon.
Tsk tsk tsk, I don’t know what’s inside and why so many people want to go in. I don’t dare to go in. ”
"I heard there's a treasure inside, so some people are willing to risk their lives to get in."
…
Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua were about to leave the stall where they were eating when they heard people talking about the nearby Devil City.
Su Yunnuan thought about it and realized that this Devil City had been developed in her time and was open to tourists for fun. However, it was still very dangerous. There was only one path and no one could enter the surrounding areas.
The winds and sand there are strong, as well as a strong magnetic field, which can interfere with the signals of mobile phones and wireless devices.
Therefore, if you go to the wrong place, it will be impossible to ask for help, and you will only become the mummy that those people just talked about.
After calculating the time, it should be at this time that the country began to send people into the Devil City to explore its mysteries.
This is indeed a very difficult task. Nine out of ten people who go in will not be able to come out. Those who can come out must have a good physique, rich field experience and the ability to judge direction.
There are not many people like this, so the country has spent a lot of manpower and resources here. But in the end, it seemed that a soldier broke that cognition and opened up a path.
But she couldn't remember who that soldier was.
After paying the money, Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua left the stall. Suddenly, an ambulance sped past them.
There was also an urgent whistle sound.
Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua subconsciously stepped back, and other people on the road also let the ambulance pass first.
Looking at the ambulance speeding away, Su Yunnuan's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
"It's over. Did something happen in Devil City again?" The people who were talking just now looked at the direction the ambulance was going and started talking again.
Su Yunnuan also looked in the direction the ambulance was going. Was that place the Devil City? Why did she have an urge to go and take a look?
"Yunnuan, what are you doing?" Wang Meihua saw Su Yunnuan running a few steps after the ambulance, so she hurriedly followed, but she didn't know what Su Yunnuan meant.
"Me?" Su Yunnuan finally reacted. She looked at her steps and quickly stopped.
"Let's continue shopping!" Su Yunnuan took Wang Meihua's hand and went to look at other places.
The market here is quite big. With the reform and opening up of our country, more and more people have started small businesses.
"Come and have a look. These are the Chinese herbs I picked and sold at a low price."
Suddenly someone shouted, attracting the attention of Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua.
"Hey, anyone wants to buy medicinal herbs? I heard that the northwest is rich in rare medicinal herbs. Let's go and take a look." Wang Meihua excitedly pulled Su Yunnuan and squeezed over.
The man selling Chinese herbal medicine was about thirty years old, and various Chinese herbal medicines were placed in front of him.
Su Yunnuan took a look and found that there were many rare Chinese herbal medicines in it. Her eyes widened.
"Brother, how much are these Chinese herbal medicines of yours?" Su Yunnuan squatted down, picked up those rare Chinese herbal medicines, and asked the brother.
"Little girl, you really have good vision. These are Chinese herbal medicines that are becoming increasingly scarce. It will be difficult to get them again in the future."
The eldest brother happily picked up the Chinese herbal medicines and introduced them to Su Yunnuan one by one.
"Give me ten dollars in total for these!" The eldest brother handed the Chinese herbal medicines to Su Yunnuan.
Su Yunnuan was about to give the money, but Wang Meihua looked incredulous.
Just a little bit of Chinese herbal medicine costs ten yuan.
"Brother, is your price too expensive?"
"It's not expensive, little girl. These are very rare Chinese herbs, and they are all picked on the edge of the cliff."
The eldest brother scratched his head and explained to Wang Meihua seriously.
Wang Meihua wanted to say something but was stopped by Su Yunnuan.
"Okay, I want all of these." Su Yunnuan pointed at the Chinese herbal medicines and asked her brother to pack them up for her, then took out a ten-dollar bill and handed it to her brother.
The eldest brother smiled and helped Su Yunnuan pack up all the medicinal herbs.
Su Yunnuan took the herbs and went to buy some underwear with Wang Meihua, and then prepared to wait for the car back to the research institute.
The ambulance that had left came back with its sirens blaring urgently and sped past Su Yunnuan again.
"Are these the injured people we found in Devil City?" Wang Meihua said, pointing at the ambulance.
She felt that the Devil City was extremely terrifying as so many people had died there.
"Yeah." Su Yunnuan nodded.
Just as the two finished talking, the research institute's car arrived, and the team members who were out playing got on the car and returned to the research institute together.
Because Liu Mei and Luo Xu had some things to do today, they did not go out. Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua brought back some food for them.
After putting their things away, they went to the laboratory to find Liu Mei and Luo Xu.
"Wow, you're back? Is the market here fun?" Liu Mei took the delicious food handed to her by Su Yunnuan, took a bite, and then asked.
"It's fun. The market here is quite big, and the things they sell are quite unique. This is the scarf I bought, one for each of the four of us."
Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua took out the scarves they bought from the bag, gave one to Liu Mei and the other to Luo Xu.
"Is it not okay for me to use this scarf?" Luo Xu's face turned a little red.
It's inappropriate for him, a grown man, to wear a scarf!
"This color is very beautiful. You can use it in winter. Take a look." Su Yunnuan gestured to the scarf that was suitable for Luo Xu to wear in front of him.
