Chapter 684 Western Desert
That night, after Zhou Zhuo was picked up from outside the city, he discovered that there were several alumni from the same school in the car. These alumni were all his seniors and were all top students in the engineering department.
The car drove for a long time, going around in circles. Zhou Zhuo even suspected that the driver was doing this on purpose to prevent them from knowing how to get there.
Later we finally arrived at a small train station without a name. It was pitch black all around, with only a few flashlights to illuminate it.
Then a train came and stopped in front of the station. They followed the leader's instructions and got on the train.
You don't need to buy a ticket on the train, the curtains are drawn tightly, and no one knows where the train is going.
A senior student had just said a few words to his neighbor when he was stopped by the conductor who came over after hearing the noise and said that communication was prohibited.
Only then did Zhou Zhuo realize that the carriage they were riding in was not connected to the other carriages. It seemed to be the last carriage. There was a separate bathroom in the carriage, and they could not contact anyone except the people in this carriage.
Because the curtains were drawn, it was difficult to tell the direction. Zhou Zhuo just relied on his intuition and felt that he was heading northwest.
The train runs during the day and at night without stopping. One can only tell whether it is day or night by the faint light coming through the curtains.
Three meals a day are delivered by the flight attendants. The food is quite good. Each person is provided with chicken legs and eggs every day.
The train traveled for about three or four days before finally reaching its destination.
When we arrived at our destination, it was also night time. It was pitch black and we couldn't see anything clearly. We could only feel a very strong wind, which seemed to carry sand.
Zhou Zhuo and three other seniors were assigned to a dormitory.
A man who looked like a leader said a few simple words, which roughly meant that everyone should stop discussing anything and rest immediately because they had a mission early tomorrow morning.
Everyone obeyed the order and immediately went into the dormitory to rest. Zhou Zhuo also lay down on his bed.
The next day, just after dawn, the assembly call sounded outside. Zhou Zhuo and his roommates hurriedly put on their clothes and got up.
When they opened the dormitory door, they found that this place was isolated from the world. There was no human habitation in the barren Gobi Desert. There were only a few rows of houses and a factory-like building not far away.
Before they had time to think much, they were gathered together and their names were called. The same leader from yesterday gave a speech, saying that health is the capital of revolution and everyone must have a good body in order to contribute to national construction.
Next was morning exercises. After running around the building five times, the leader finally called for a stop.
Then we had breakfast.
Due to the strong wind and dry weather, the steamed buns were blown to pieces and became dry and hard. However, at least there was no limit on the amount, so you could eat as much as you wanted.
Each person gets a boiled egg and a plate of shredded pickles.
The porridge is made from mixed grains and is also filling.
Everyone was actually suspicious in their hearts. From last night to today, they still had no idea why they came to this place.
The timid ones even thought they would be used as living experimental subjects and were so scared that they couldn’t even eat their meals properly.
I don’t even know where this place is.
Based on the air humidity and geographical characteristics here, Zhou Zhuo deduced that he was sent to the western desert.
But this is just a guess. Without definite evidence, he can't be sure where it is.
After breakfast, they were all sent to that factory-like building, and then they suddenly realized...
