Chapter 169 Radio

169 Chapter 169 Radio
As soon as I woke up, I sat up in a daze. I felt uneasy and my sleep time was relatively short. I felt like I only slept for more than two hours. When I woke up, I felt like I hadn't woken up. It was still special. sleepy...

Brother and Heixiazi still haven't come back, and now even Wu Xie has disappeared... There is no one around him...

After a while, I lay down again. I originally wanted to be alone but I was too scared. I might as well sleep for a while, otherwise I could just curl up in my sleeping bag and just lie there. However, the more I lay down, the more energetic I became. No matter how much I stayed there, I felt uncomfortable, so I had to He sat up again.

I lazily and slowly crawled to the tent door, unzipped the tent door, opened it just a little, and poked my little head out to take a look. The most obvious feeling was that a cold air hit my face, and I felt much more awake. The wind has indeed subsided.

I saw that in addition to the people who were keeping watch, everyone was resting in the tents. It was extremely deserted outside. This no-man's land, looking around, saw endless vastness and desolation during the day, but at night, only the darkness and desolation were left. Endless darkness.

After I looked outside, I felt like something was missing... I had to look around blankly for a while, and suddenly I realized, where is Aning?She has been waiting outside for news, keeping herself in a state of not eating, drinking or resting. Why is she missing? And where is Wu Xie... My brother is not here. In this environment, I don’t dare to watch the video. …

But after struggling for a moment, I decided to take a small look at it first. If nothing happened, I would close it again.Then he retreated into the tent, lit the small moon, and bravely turned on the spiritual video.

The first thing that caught my eye was the black rocks and mounds illuminated by the pale moonlight... I thought, where is this?Then I saw the light of a flashlight, and it was obvious that they were going out, and I heard them shouting several names, including "Lao Gao"... There were also the echoes of their own shouts and the slight whining of the wind...

At this time, several people had gone deep into the depths of the Devil's City. They had been searching for two or three hours. Their flashlights were scanning the surrounding rocks. Their eyes were dazzled and their mouths were numb.But there was no sign of those three people at all, and there was no response from them.

They had to stop to rest, and Aning asked Tashi: "According to your experience, which one is better to find?"

Tashi shook his head and said: "You are the only one who can do this. We have walked about seven kilometers now. If we follow the straight-line distance, we have walked a long way, but in fact we have already turned around unknowingly. , you see the compass shows that we are almost walking back now. People here are like ants, they will take an S-shaped route unknowingly, so I can only promise to take you out now. I can't provide you with anyone. Suggestion... It would be fine if they stay put, but if they are also looking for a way out, what is the probability that your two groups will meet in an eighty-square-kilometer maze?"

I whispered in a low voice: "In an eighty square kilometer maze? Are they in a maze?" My heart skipped a beat, no, they must have entered that devilish city...

Aning was not very satisfied with Tashi's answer and frowned: "None of you have been lost before?"

Tashi piled stones without raising his head. He just shook his head and said, "We never come in a place like this at night." After that, he sighed.

Seeing that they were all dejected, Aning encouraged them a few words and told them not to lose heart, but their morale was still low.

Wu Xie sat there and smoked several cigarettes in a row before regaining his energy a little.

They continued to move forward after them, shouting and walking. This silent devil city seemed to be able to swallow their voices, but still no one responded to them.

Along the way, there were dozens of piles of rocks piled by Tashi, but none of the piles of rocks piled by Tashi were seen along the way. It felt like this devil city was very unfathomable and endless, and no one knew what else was inside. How many miles is there.

After a while, they entered a canyon made of rocks and began to rest under a big rock. This was the sixth time they stopped. Listening to their voices, they felt that their throats were hoarse. Drinking water in big gulps.They were silent for a long time.

A fat man suddenly asked: "Is there really a devil in this devil city? Are they taken away by the devil?"

Tashi glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Tibetans are more traditional. Such words are uncomfortable to hear. There are definitely no devils, and people are definitely here." After a long while, Tashi took a sip of water and spoke. He moistened his throat and said slowly: "I just don't know what the situation is now."

After that, they were silent for a while. I sighed, yawned, and stretched... I inadvertently looked up and saw a tall black figure approaching me outside the tent...

I just wanted to avoid being blinded by the light, so the little moon only shone a little bit of light, and the surrounding area inside the tent was still dark. Otherwise, if it was completely lit, I wouldn't be able to see the shadow outside. Is this right?Brother?The shadow looked like it was taking off its cloak as it walked.

Just as he was thinking about it, he had already opened the tent door, and Mao Yao walked in, sat in the tent, took off the goggles on his face, and put them aside.

I crawled next to him, looked at his slightly tired face, blinked and asked him, "Do you want some water?"

He nodded, and I turned around and took out a water bottle from my bag and handed it to him. He asked, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

I shook my head and said, "I can't sleep without you, and the noise in the city next to me was too noisy and scary just now. After the wind subsided, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took a nap. But nothing happened. I woke up again after sleeping for a long time, and I couldn't fall asleep anymore. Brother, when I woke up just now, I found that Wu Xie was not there, so I watched the video and found that he, Aning, that Tashi, and a fat man ran to that devil city. They are looking for someone inside, and they are now exhausted. They must have been looking for a long time, but they haven’t been found yet. They are resting.”

As soon as I finished speaking, my little brother reached out and grabbed me, pulled me into his arms, and hugged me with great strength.

He stuffed me back into the sleeping bag, looked at me with his head slightly lowered, and said to me: "Leave the video to me and you can sleep well."

I said hesitantly, "But you've been running all day, and you need more rest."

He looked at me with calm eyes and said to me, "I'm fine."

I looked at him for a moment and replied: "Okay." After saying that, I waved my hand and moved closer to him. He closed his eyes. I looked at his face for a moment and then softly Kissed her.

He opened his eyes, looked at me with a blushing face through the soft light of the little moon, reached out to hold my little face, touched the tip of my nose with his thumb, and said softly: "I won't leave. Go to sleep well." After that, the little brother stared at the video, and I fell asleep in his arms.

After resting for a while, Aning looked at his watch and stood up, looked at them and said: "Get ready to continue." Several people stood up, took a deep breath, and were ready to continue shouting.

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from Aning's walkie-talkie.It frightened them half to death, and they were all stunned for a moment, but after following them, they immediately looked at Aning's walkie-talkie.

Just listening, the sound was mixed with a loud static sound, which was extremely harsh, and it was impossible to make out what was being said.It took Aning a few seconds to react, and he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and listened carefully.

The voice rang again, and it was obvious that it was a person calling.

In terrain like Devil's City, walkie-talkies are almost useless, and signals can only be received within a very short distance.Aning had been debugging all the way, just hoping to receive such a signal, and then it suddenly rang. It was obvious that the other party's walkie-talkie was nearby.They all screamed, and Aning almost jumped.

Aning immediately started to adjust the frequency, hoping to hear it more clearly.After some debugging, the voice became clearer, but I still couldn't make out what he was saying.Aning shouted into the walkie-talkie: "I am the team leader, we are searching for you, where are you?"

The interference was very serious, and the answer was a series of indescribable sounds, but the tone of voice was obviously changed, which meant that the other party could hear their voices.

The team doctor yelled: "YES".

Wu Xie also took out his walkie-talkie, patted it, and adjusted it to rule out the problem with the machine, because his walkie-talkie was also making noisy sounds.

Aning called again, and this time the voice was a little clearer. Several people tried hard to listen, but as they listened, they discovered that something was wrong. The person on the other end of the intercom did not seem to be speaking. It's very weird. If you listen carefully, it sounds like a person is sneering maliciously.

Hearing this voice made his heart skip a beat. It was so weird that Wu Xie couldn't help but say "hmm"...

Aning also stopped calling, and they all looked at each other with unhappy expressions.

The team doctor asked: "What's going on? Why are they... laughing? Are they too happy to hear our voices?"

Tashi asked: "You smile like this when you are happy?"

Aning looked confused, stopped calling, and continued to adjust the intercom. The noise was still very loud, but the sound was louder.

Listening to it again, the sound was just like the malicious and malicious sneer of a lunatic in a lunatic asylum, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The little brother also frowned when he heard this. He lowered his head and glanced at the little girl in his arms. Seeing that I was asleep, he sighed, thinking that he was back, and the girl felt at ease and fell asleep soon. Otherwise, you will definitely be scared.

Wu Xie's face turned pale with fear when he saw Tashi, who always had a stinking look on his face. He swallowed and said, "What's going on? This smile is so fucking ugly."

Aning made a gesture to tell him not to speak, and put the walkie-talkie to his ear. After the laughter, there seemed to be some very slight sounds.She listened for a while and said to them, "This doesn't seem to be a human voice!"

The team doctor looked horrified and said, "Don't talk nonsense! It's not a human being... could it be a ghost?"

Aning asked them to come closer and said: "Listen carefully. The frequency of this sound is very fast, and the tone is almost flat. It has been ringing for 5 minutes. Are you trying to laugh like this for 5 minutes?"

Wu Xie thought it made sense, but had no clue and asked, "Then what is this sound?"

Aning said: "This frequency should be mechanical sound, such as a watch attached to a walkie-talkie. However, the listening frequency is not fixed. It may also be that someone is constantly scratching the intercom port of the walkie-talkie with his fingernails." Aning demonstrated it and continued, "Add in the sound of static electricity, and it becomes like this."

The team doctor didn't quite understand at first and asked directly: "Use your nails to scratch the mouth of the walkie-talkie? Why don't you just scream, so maybe we can hear it without the walkie-talkie."

The expressions of Tashi and Aning changed, and Wu Xie also realized it and said, "They may be in a situation where they can't shout or speak, so they can only communicate with us in this way."

Tashi shouted: "It's a quicksand pit! They may be stuck in the quicksand pit and have sunk to the point where only their heads are left. If that's the case, they will sink even if they fart!"

Wu Xie and the others were a little panicked. They stood up and looked around. Only Aning was still quite calm. She clapped her hands and said, "Don't panic. Calm down. They can send a signal to indicate that they are temporarily safe. We can receive the signal, indicating that they are safe." The walkie-talkie must be nearby and we should be there soon."

Wu Xie said: "It is said to be nearby, but the area is still very big. How can I find it?"

Aning began to walk around with the walkie-talkie to determine the direction from which the signal came.

Wu Xie understood it at a glance, and suddenly felt stupid. He thought to himself, why didn't I think of it? Even though I am a knowledgeable person, in this kind of terrain, if radio signals can be received, there must be radio wave diffraction in the surroundings. The gap-shaped terrain, and the degree of radio weakening is closely related to the distance, so we can judge whether we are approaching by the acceptance of radio waves by the walkie-talkie. "

Soon after, they discovered that the signal was the loudest deep in the canyon. Aning called out, and they threw off the flashlight and ran inside quickly.

Tashi shouted: "Watch your step, don't look for me!"

Soon they came to the end of the canyon, and a steep half-moon-shaped mound 50 meters high appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Wu Xie gasped and said: "Something is wrong. In such a terrain, the radio signal should be the weakest. This is the same as the signal difference in the valleys of mountains. But the sound of the walkie-talkie is getting clearer and clearer. That is to say , the thing that sent the signal is definitely within the approximately 110-meter long and wide area surrounded by this half-moon shaped mound, or in other words, right here..."

Wu Xie and the others all broke into a cold sweat and turned pale, because when they scanned with their flashlight, there was not even a ghost in this place!
The little brother thought, yes, this is very wrong. The signal is so strong in a place where there should not be a radio signal. If this phenomenon occurred in other places, he might not care too much. However, the location of this thing is indeed In the direction leading to the Western Queen's Motherland, something like this is naturally not right. I'm afraid there is something...something interfering with the electromagnetic waves.
