Chapter 513: Mist. Rescue...
Uncle Geng fanned the flames, cleared his throat, and said to everyone, "The road ahead may be a little dangerous, but as long as you follow me closely, nothing will happen."
Wang Siyu raised his eyelids and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean? Explain it clearly."
Uncle Geng seemed calm and said, "Ahead... there is a 20-kilometer area of fine sand ahead."
Wu Mengmeng, "Why didn't you tell us in advance about such an important matter?"
"Life is the most important thing here. As long as it is not life-threatening, I don't think it is necessary. The reason I told you today is because I am afraid that you will run around after entering."
"You still think you're right." Wu Mengmeng stood up and clenched his fists in anger.
"Okay, let's listen to Uncle Geng." He Jingze suppressed the words of the two students and motioned for Uncle Geng to continue.
Uncle Geng smacked his lips and ignored the two of them, thinking that they wouldn't dare to leave the team on their own.
"Another 8 or 9 kilometers is a desert, but the desertified area is not large. If we find the right direction, we can get out in two days."
"Uncle Geng, this is the Yilian Mountains, how could there be a desert?" Sun Hao asked the question that everyone had just ignored.
Uncle Geng looked at him and asked, "Do you know why the branch we saw when we came here was dry?"
"What else could it be? It's a natural disaster." Wu Mengmeng said unhappily.
"That's just one aspect. There are two other reasons for desertification here," said Uncle Geng. "One is the diversion of rivers. Without water, even the largest forest will turn into a desert."
"What about the second reason?" Sun Hao asked.
“There is also a nuclear test site here.”
"What?" Everyone was shocked and instantly thought of two places in Sakura Country. It's over. They don't even have the most basic protective clothing. Now they have been irradiated.
"Don't worry, there has been no nuclear explosion test here. We just store a large number of nuclear bombs underground for national defense." Uncle Geng felt that if he didn't speak, his eardrums would be shattered.
"How do you know so much?" asked Liu.
Uncle Geng smiled and said, "I have worked here for forty years. I came here earlier than those nuclear warheads. But during normal work, everyone knows it by heart and no one mentions this matter."
"Since you said that no nuclear tests have been conducted here, what does it have to do with the desert?" Sun Hao asked.
“The government doesn’t want outsiders to know the situation here, so they diverted the river to expand the Gobi Desert. If someone accidentally enters, they will never choose to walk out of the endless Gobi Desert.
If you have a map, you will find that this place is not marked on the map. It is still a forest. Who would go to a place without a direction?"
But in fact, you only need to walk 60 kilometers to see the Z2 National Highway.
Everyone was silent because they didn't know what to say. After a long while, Liu asked, "Besides the known deserts, are there any other dangers? You'd better tell me all at once."
"That's right, tell us everything else. Don't wait until the last minute and treat us like fools." Wu Mengmeng started to turn his face away again.
Hu Zi frowned, "How can you talk like that? My master brought you out out of kindness, you really don't know what's good for you."
"No one knows whether he is kind or not, but he did lie." Wu Mengmeng refused to give in. "I hate it most in my life when someone lies to me. This is my biggest taboo."
"Then you go..."
"Huzi." Uncle Geng grumbled, but did not respond to Wu Mengmeng's words. Instead, he looked at the others and continued, "After crossing the desert, our crisis has been resolved by two-thirds. The only thing left is to avoid being discovered by the people at the base. They are very sensitive about outsiders, so you must follow me closely and don't cause any trouble."
He turned his gaze towards Wang Siyu and Wu Mengmeng as he finished his last sentence. Wang Siyu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, while Wu Mengmeng rolled his eyes.
"What if we really encounter this?" Sun Hao asked.
"If you follow me, you won't encounter them. But if you do encounter them, you must explain clearly and leave immediately. Don't ask them for help and don't treat them as government officials. Otherwise, it will be almost impossible to leave here."
"At this time, are they still so strict?" Wang Siyu asked tentatively. When he heard about the base, he thought he could seek protection. After all, he was also engaged in scientific research and they were in the same industry.
"Which do you think will finish you off faster, a natural disaster or the underground nuclear disaster they are guarding?" Uncle Geng asked back with narrowed eyes.
Wang Siyu wanted to refute but didn't know how to start. After all, everyone knew the power of a nuclear bomb.
"Is there anything else?" He Jingze asked, "If there is, please tell us so that we can be mentally prepared."
Uncle Geng, "No more, everyone take a good rest."
"Actually, our luck is pretty good. We haven't encountered any wild animals in two days." As soon as Sun Hao finished speaking, he heard a wolf howl, followed by a gunshot.
Da Liu quickly stood up and picked up his backpack. The others stood up and moved closer to him. He was the only guardian here.
"What's going on?" Sun Hao seemed to be talking to himself. After all, no one knew what had happened.
"You wait here, I'll go take a look." Da Liu heard the voice coming from the front.
"No, you can't leave." Wang Siyu hurriedly grabbed him.
"Yes, if you leave like this, who will protect us?" Wu Mengmeng followed.
"Or put down your backpack before leaving." Sun Hao's face also turned cold.
Big Liu looked at Sun Hao. He never left the things in his backpack. How did this person know?
Sun Hao guessed what he was thinking, "If it was food, you wouldn't be so nervous."
"What do you mean?" Wang Siyu asked.
Sun Hao said categorically, "There are hot weapons in his backpack."
Wu Mengmeng, "You hide..."
"Shouldn't it be?" Da Liu interrupted Wu Mengmeng, his expression serious and his eyes grim. He took off his rifle and loaded the bullet directly, "I am a soldier, is it strange that I have a weapon?"
Seeing everyone shut up, Liu Da broke free from Wang Siyu's hand and said directly to He Jingze, "He Lao, I'm going to check the situation ahead. You guys stay here and don't move. I won't go too far."
He Jingze nodded, "Be careful."
Da Liu walked quickly towards the direction of the sound, always paying attention to hiding his body. After walking about 500 meters, he didn't see any human figure, but he smelled a strong smell of blood.
Awoo——
A wolf's howl made him stop. The moon was dim tonight and he could only vaguely see two figures, who seemed to be dragging something behind them.
Da Liu hurriedly took off his backpack, crawled on the ground, and pointed his gun at the wolf holding its prey.
The two wolves were also limping, and the one without the prey stumbled twice, obviously seriously injured. But they still struggled to drag the "trophy".
Suddenly, the "trophy" arched its body and stabbed the dagger into the wolf's head. The wolf shook the man off in pain, and the other one immediately bit the trophy.
Bang bang——
Da Liu found the right moment and fired two shots, killing the two wolves. He grabbed his backpack and ran forward. When he got closer, he found that the person being held in the wolf's mouth was a young man.
At this time, his whole body was torn into pieces, his stomach was bitten, his right leg was gone, and his left leg was at a strange angle, obviously broken.
Liu had just seen him fight back and thought he could still be saved, but now...
The young man saw people, raised his weak left hand, and pointed forward, "Rescue...rescue...team..."
He died before he could finish his words.
