Yang Lan'er sat in the passenger seat, Qin Muyan drove the car, and the two headed in the direction of the archaeological team.
I downloaded the satellite map of Nalati Grassland, and at the same time opened the genuine map I bought and the simple map provided by the locals that I bought from the twins. After a few comparisons, I was able to explore the nearby terrain in general.
After driving for a while along a familiar road, it became dark.
Qin Muyan and Yang Lan'er got out of the car, parked it, and started checking for traces.
As for tracking, Yang Lan'er learned a few tricks from the people of Shenying, and Qin Muyan was a veteran. After the two of them went around in a big circle, they found some traces and put them together to summarize.
"Very good. It hasn't rained in the past few days, and we can still see some traces from a few days ago." Qin Muyan looked down at the map.
It doesn’t matter if it’s dark, it won’t affect the two’s vision at all, not to mention they still have spiritual awareness to use!
"The twins said that the archaeological team is walking, and it will take at least half a day to get here." Yang Lan'er nodded. The more time spent on the road, the less time the group will be trapped, which is a good thing.
"There is no road ahead, but there are traces of people resting here, and there are quite a few of them." Qin Muyan put away the map, looked around, and frowned slightly.
"Well, judging from the traces, it should be heading in that direction." Yang Lan'er pointed, and turned around just in time to see Qin Muyan's expression: "What's wrong?"
"This place..." Qin Muyan took out his phone and checked: "It is true. I remember there is a military base nearby."
"Military base?" Yang Lan'er was surprised. She leaned over to look at Qin Muyan's phone and was immediately shocked. Wasn't that a distribution map of China's military bases?
Emma, Qin Muyan doesn't even lack this kind of information! "Looking at the direction of the traces, they are heading towards the military base. Let's go directly there, maybe we can get some good results." Qin Muyan said with a smile.
There are so many well-known figures in the archaeological team, and the official authorities absolutely support their activities. It is not difficult to seek some help when they encounter a military base.
Although it is said to be nearby, it is actually quite far away. At least with Yang Lan'er and Qin Muyan's walking speed, it took them two hours to get there.
Looking at the military base that looked like an ancient city, Yang Lan'er was shocked. Why did China build such a hidden place deep in the grassland?
Qin Muyan showed his ID and saw Yang Lan'er's curiosity: "This is a training base. Most special forces will go through it once. There are many warriors and people with special abilities in it. Because it is deep in the grassland and there are many dangers, it has a great training effect. In the eyes of the soldiers, this mysterious training base is a holy place."
Mysterious training base? Yang Lan'er said that she knew it just by looking at Qin Muyan casually, and she really didn't think it was mysterious.
Well, after all this she had to admit that it was not easy for ordinary people to get in touch with it and discover it.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in plain clothes walked out. He looked murderous and had sharp eyes. It was obvious that his hands were stained with blood.
However, the middle-aged man pulled his face when he saw Qin Muyan, probably wanting to laugh, but his face was full of fat, which made him look a little scary: "Boss? Why are you here?"
Before arriving at the base, both of them returned to their original appearance, so the middle-aged man naturally recognized them.
Qin Muyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Xiong Gang? It's you? You are guarding here?"
Then he introduced Yang Lan'er: "He is the leader of Dragon Team 2. We have done several missions together before."
As soon as Xiong Gang heard Qin Muyan's introduction, he knew that the beauty in front of him was a fellow traveler.
"Let's find a place to talk first." Xiong Gang invited the two into the reception room.
Without waiting for the tea to be served, Qin Muyan went straight to the point.
"You mean the archaeological team? They did come to the base three days ago and borrowed a few soldiers from me to lead the way." Xiong Gang said seriously, "I am actually worried about this issue too, because a group of people left the next morning and never came back. I am thinking about sending someone to look for them."
"Your soldiers haven't come back either?" Qin Muyan asked.
"No, that's why I'm worried." Xiong Gang sighed, "I'm not worried about them starving to death, I'm just afraid they'll encounter some danger. There are many unknown dangers on the grassland, and a team of so many powerless people will only be in greater danger."
"Do you know where they went?" Qin Muyan asked the key point.
"Of course, we have been there for military training, so we are familiar with it, but we didn't find anything wrong." Xiong Gang thought thoughtfully: "The archaeological team said they were looking for the tomb of the Mongol emperor. They got a clear clue and found this place."
"A clear clue? Isn't that the legend that's been making the rounds recently?" Yang Lan'er felt more and more that this was a conspiracy.
"How can we take that legend seriously? It appeared inexplicably and was spread inexplicably. No matter how hard the tourists try, they can't get to this place." Xiong Gang knew the legend as well.
"So, the clues from the archaeological team are very likely to be true." Qin Muyan touched his chin: "The question is, how did they get the clues?"
"I don't know about that either. I just found a few people to lead the way. It's not easy to ask about these specifics. How could I have thought it would be like this?" Xiong Gang was also depressed. At that time, he thought that it was just leading the way, so how could there be any trouble? "It was two or three days ago. Time waits for no one. Let's go and look for it now. This matter is weird from beginning to end." Qin Muyan didn't plan to wait until dawn to act.
Xiong Gang was stunned for a moment, then he also stood up and said, "Okay, I'll have someone prepare it right away. If you don't come, I'll also send people to look for you after daybreak."
The night on the grassland was indeed dangerous, but with Qin Muyan around, what was there for him to fear? Besides, he was also worried about his soldiers. After training for so long, they had developed feelings for each other.
Not long after, a large military truck came out of the base, carrying a group of people, a lot of guns and ammunition, and heading in one direction with a searchlight on.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Qin Muyan had plenty of free time to introduce some common sense about weapons to Yang Lan'er. Xiong Gang, who was driving, looked sideways frequently. It was rare to see his boss being so attentive to a girl...
When they were almost there, Xiong Gang started to speak: "That place is a rocky forest. We often go there for training. The terrain is a bit complicated. If you are not familiar with it, you will probably get lost."
"Well, you've been free recently? Why did you come to this base to train?" Qin Muyan asked casually.
"Isn't this a rotation? Recently, the Divine Eagle got a book of martial arts from somewhere, and everyone has practiced it to be extremely brave. But the personnel recruited from other special forces are always said to be weak as chickens, with poor basic skills, which makes other special forces hold their breath. Recently, the training at the base has increased by 30%." Xiong Gang complained.
