Xixia dead book

Chapter 196 The KGB and the CIA (33)
"No! God exists." Liang Yuan suddenly said, "The god here is Changshengtian. She not only exists in the hearts of the herdsmen, but also exists in the mountains here, in the water here, and in the Gobi desert here. The sky rules everything here in the dark, including everyone who tries to enter here."

"You are animistic..."

"I suddenly figured out something just now!" Liang Yuan interrupted Tang Feng, and said slowly, "Why are we the same as the scientific expedition team half a century ago and the Koznov expedition team a century ago? How close are we to Hanhai Micheng, but fall short? Because our hearts are not sincere enough.”

"Stop talking, what does this have to do with sincerity?" Han Jiang disagreed.

"My journey, especially after we encountered a black dust storm and got lost in the desert, I thought a lot. I think all this is the arrangement of Changshengtian. Why did we encounter a black dust storm? Why did we encounter a black dust storm half a century ago? The joint scientific expedition team also encountered a black dust storm? Maybe Koznov’s expedition team also encountered a black dust storm? And the Mongolian army more than 700 years ago, why can’t the party members in Hanhai Micheng be wiped out for so long?” Liang Yuanyue said Work harder.

Tang Feng interjected, "You mean the Mongolian army was also attacked by black dust storms more than 700 years ago, so that they couldn't get close to Hanhai Micheng?"

"Isn't it?" Liang Yuan asked back.

"This is because the Devil City to the south of Hanhaimi City is a big wind outlet, and the terrain and environment are prone to black dust storms." Tang Feng explained.

"This is an objective reason, but in the Western Xia Dynasty, from Jiulibao to Heishi, and then to Hanhai Micheng was an important traffic road. This main road even went straight to the Mongolian plateau. Could it be that the party members who went to Hanhai Micheng at that time would also go to Populus euphratica forest? Encountered a black dust storm?"

Liang Yuan's rhetorical question stopped Tang Feng and Han Jiang, "Yes, we encountered a black dust storm, the joint scientific expedition team encountered a black dust storm, and Koznov's expedition team also encountered a black dust storm. , and why the brave Mongolian iron cavalry stagnated outside Hanhaimi City? Could it be the same black dust storm?! But... but during the Xixia period, why were party members able to enter and leave Hanhaimi City?" Tang Feng fell into deep thought.

Liang Yuan, who regained her strength after eating the lizard meat, went on to say: "All of this is Changshengtian's arrangement. Changshengtian arranged for the empress to warn us twice halfway, but we didn't listen. When I tried to approach Hanhaimi for the third time When we were in the city, the black dust storm came, isn't this the arrangement of Changshengtian?"

Tang Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, Liang Yuan continued without waiting for him to speak, "Also, after we encountered the black dust storm, we came to Dabai Spring. After the scientific expedition team encountered the black dust storm, most of the people also came Dabaiquan, is this just a coincidence?"

"Another arrangement by Changshengtian? But... But some members of the scientific expedition team drank the poisonous water from the Dabai Spring and died, and some did not dare to drink it, so they drank to death!" Tang Feng said.

"Although I didn't get poisoned or died of thirst, we were still trapped in the desert. Changshengtian lured us with the illusory city of the vast sea, and finally threw us heavily from mid-air, letting us taste the disappointment! "

"But the eagle saved us just now, isn't this the favor of Changshengtian?" Han Jiang asked back.

"Yes, when we were exhausted and unable to move forward, Changshengtian sent us food. Although the food was not delicious, it helped us solve the problem of survival. When we were in danger, Changshengtian brought us food again. Sending the eagle to rescue us, the Changshengtian who once abandoned us, why did it take care of us again, because all this happened after we chose to stay away from Hanhai Micheng!"

"You mean that Changshengtian doesn't favor those who try to get close to Hanhai Micheng?" Tang Feng asked back.

Liang Yuan nodded, "Yes, so when we chose to stay away from Hanhai Micheng, Changshengtian began to take care of us again."

"What you said is a bit too evil! According to what you say, we can't find Hanhaimi City no matter what?" Han Jiang shook his head, unwilling to believe Liang Yuan's words.

"No! Team Han, you misunderstood. Changshengtian does not favor those who try to get close to Hanhai Micheng, but it does not mean that Hanhaimi City cannot be reached. It is just that those who want to find Hanhaimi City must overcome all difficulties. This is also the intentional arrangement of Changshengtian! And we are obviously not prepared enough, far from enough, so Changshengtian does not favor us. If we really overcome all difficulties, then Changshengtian will definitely help us find Hanhaimi City, but we still have Not the time!"

Han Jiang paused at Liang Yuan's words, thinking that what she said made sense, "Yes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. It seems that we have to start all over again."

After the three of them discussed the issue of God, it was getting late, and the sand lizard had been eaten up by the three of them. The three of them found a sand depression and fell asleep, probably because they had trekked in the desert for several days. Tired, maybe it was the favor of Changshengtian, the three of them slept soundly this time, there was no black dust storm, and no nightmares.

In the early morning of the next day, the three of them continued to set off towards the rising sun, but the three of them did not leave the desert until noon, and the surrounding area was still surrounded by vast desert. In the Gobi Desert, there is still no human habitation, nor any signs of life.

Could it be that Changshengtian no longer favors them?While the three of them were thinking wildly, a few houses and barbed wire fences appeared on the horizon in front of them. What is this?Is it another imaginary city?

【No.18 advance base】

When the three of them approached the rusted barbed wire, they found that inside the barbed wire were several dilapidated iron houses. This was not an imaginary city, but a real building on the Gobi Desert.

Han Jiang knocked open the door of an iron house, kicking up a thick layer of dust. After the dust cleared, the three of them walked into the iron house. There was nothing around, but Liang Yuan was still very excited, "Looks like We're out, out of the desert."

"Yes! This should be a house abandoned by herdsmen." Tang Feng speculated.

Han Jiang looked up at the incandescent lamp that was still hanging above his head. The bulb had long since disappeared, and the lamp was covered with dust. "No one has been here for at least 30 years." Han Jiang deduced based on the dust.

"30 years? So long!" Tang Feng was surprised by Han Jiang's deduction.

"Please believe in my experience." Han Jiang said and came to the window of the iron house. He was surprised to find that although the iron house had been abandoned for 30 years, the windows, especially the glass on the windows, were still intact. .

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan also noticed the clues. Tang Feng stretched out his hand and gently brushed the dust on the window, and said doubtfully, "Even if there is no black dust storm here, but there is a lot of wind and sand on the Gobi Desert, if this iron house is really abandoned After 30 years, how can the window glass be preserved so well?"

"Yeah, I'm also surprised." Han Jiang knocked on the glass, startled, he seemed to think of something, "It's strange, this glass is made of special toughened glass, no wonder the glass is still intact after so many years of wind and sand !"

"Special tempered glass? Herdsmen will have such glass?" Liang Yuan immediately smelled a strange smell in the house.

Han Jiang followed the glass and looked down the window sill. Suddenly, Han Jiang's eyes lit up, and he found a pit on the iron wall, "Tang Feng, you are wrong, this should not be a herdsman's house .”

"Oh, what did you find?"

"Look, it's a bomb crater!"

"Bomb crater? This..."

Before Tang Feng could react, Han Jiang found several bullet craters on the iron wall. Immediately afterwards, Han Jiang found a 7.62mm bullet casing in the corner of the wall. Han Jiang lifted the bullet casing and shook it in front of Tang Feng and Liang Yuan. Akira, "There must have been a fierce gun battle here."

"Here? Was there a gun battle?" Tang Feng and Liang Yuan's thoughts, which were still clear just now, suddenly fell into a fog. They couldn't understand why there was a fierce gun battle in this iron house deep in the Gobi Desert.

The three of them stared blankly at the bullet casing for a long time. Han Jiang suddenly remembered something. Jiang shouted, "Tang Feng, come and see, is this in Russian?"

"Russian?" Tang Feng was startled, and hurried over to take a look. Sure enough, there were two lines of small Russian characters on the lamp holder of the incandescent lamp, which were the name of the manufacturer of the incandescent lamp.

"What... what's going on here?" Liang Yuan stared at Han Jiang in bewilderment.

Han Jiang thought and analyzed it quickly, and finally, he muttered to himself in surprise: "Could it be... did we come to the advance base?!"

"Advance base?!" Tang Feng and Liang Yuan exclaimed at the same time. Immediately, Tang Feng asked again: "Is that the advance base close to the Sino-Mongolian border that Makarov told us about?"

Han Jiang nodded thoughtfully. "I think so."

"This...how is this possible? Ma said that the advance base is on the Mongolian side of the Sino-Mongolian border. We gave up advancing towards Hanhai Micheng and retreated all the way to the east. How did we come here?"

"Yes! We didn't see any signs on the way. Could it be that we have already crossed the border on foot?" Liang Yuan was extremely shocked.

"And this distance is too incredible. How far have we traveled? We actually crossed the border and came to the advance base?" Tang Feng still couldn't accept this reality.

Han Jiang groaned, but did not speak. He suddenly thought of something, rushed out of the iron room, walked a few steps to a section of barbed wire, and saw a rusted iron plate on this section of barbed wire. Although the iron plate The rust was serious, but Han Jiang still saw a striking red sign on the iron plate, which generally means "No Passing". At the same time, Han Jiang also found a line of capitalized Russian letters next to this sign, so, He called Tang Feng over, and Tang Feng quickly recognized the Russian words on the iron plate - military restricted area, no approaching.

2
Han Jiang has already confirmed that this is a military base in the former Soviet Union, and he is almost convinced that this is the forward base that Makarov told them about.

However, Han Jiang still didn't want to understand why he appeared here?In his mind, the route they took should be hundreds of kilometers away from the border, but at this moment, they really came to this forward base on the Mongolian side.Is this a fateful arrangement, or pure coincidence?
"Fate?!" Liang Yuan almost blurted out, "This is exactly the arrangement of Changshengtian. I began to understand the 'fate' written in Russian on the trunk of the Populus euphratica tree in the Populus euphratica forest. Base, apart from fate, I really can't explain all of this."

"Did we go in the wrong direction? According to Makarov's memory, the advance base should be in the north of the Badain Jaran Desert. We gave up looking for Hanhaimi City, and have been walking eastward to withdraw from the desert. How did we reach the advance base in the north? ?” Tang Feng recalled the direction and encounters along the way.

Han Jiang couldn't understand how all this happened. He took out the compass and stood in front of the gate of the advance base. He found that they were facing the south direction, but the route they walked to the advance base just now was in the direction of the advance base. The southwest direction of the base, "that is to say, we are not always heading due east, but are always heading northeast."

"Maybe we were wrong from the beginning..." Liang Yuan murmured.

"Wrong at the beginning?"

"Well, we may have gone in the wrong direction at Dabaiquan, and a wrong turnaround in the middle made our mistakes add to our mistakes." Liang Yuan explained.

"Okay, don't worry about this for now. Now that you're here, let's search first to see if there is any danger here, and then to see if there is any food." Han Jiang said while staring at a few iron houses not far away. .

"Eat? There has been no one for 30 years, and there is still food?" Tang Feng felt that Han Jiang was in the Arabian Nights.

The three of them opened a tin room again. The doors and windows of this room were broken, but there were a few pieces of furniture inside. It looked like a dormitory, but all the furniture was dilapidated, and even a chair was covered with Dozens of bullet holes, all of which quickly reminded Tang Feng and Han Jiang of the final fate of the forward base. That terrible riot almost destroyed everything here.

"Except for the absence of people and corpses, everything here still retains the appearance after the base riot." Han Jiang carefully searched for clues here, "There should be four people living in this room."

"What should we do now?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang.

"Hurry up, look for the things left by those old men, and see what is useful to us. Then it is best to clean up a clean room. I think we will spend the night here tonight." Han Jiang commanded.

"This room is obviously too dilapidated, it doesn't even have windows." Tang Feng rejected the room first.

The three of them walked out of the collective dormitory and walked around the back of the house. There was a small square behind the house. To be precise, it was a small square surrounded by a row of iron houses. Han Jiang's eyes turned around the row of iron houses. Looking for the tin house with the windows still intact, his eyes finally settled on the tin house facing him. That tin house, "That's it, we have to hurry up and clear out this tin house before dark, this is our nest tonight."

As Han Jiang said, he dragged Tang Feng towards the iron house.But when the two of them walked for a while, they suddenly found that Liang Yuan hadn't followed. When they looked back, they saw Liang Yuan was bending over and staring at the ground, "What are you looking for?" Tang Feng asked.

"Come and see, there are ruts on the ground!"

"Run marks? It's from that time!" Tang Feng said.

"No! I think they stayed recently." Liang Yuan judged.

Han Jiang walked up, took one look, and said, "Not only the ones who stayed recently, but even the ones who stayed in the past two days." After saying this, Han Jiang instinctively pulled out his dagger.

3
Han Jiang, Tang Feng and Liang Yuan instinctively formed a formation, standing back to back in the center of the small square, Han Jiang held a dagger, his eyes were like lightning, staring at every iron house and every door around the small square. window.

All the windows are covered with dust, and all the iron houses are very dilapidated, and they don't look like they have been lived in for a long time, but they still cannot be taken lightly.

Han Jiang re-observed the ruts on the ground, and said with some confusion, "This car is very strange. It's not a sedan. It should be an off-road vehicle or something, but I can't tell what type of off-road vehicle it is?"

"Are you so confident that you can know all the off-road vehicles?" Tang Feng didn't believe Han Jiang's judgment.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me, kid. I haven't driven an off-road vehicle before? Judging from the ruts, this kind of tire doesn't look like the one used by off-road vehicles today."

"Maybe they drive a model that was produced in very small numbers."

"Okay! I won't argue with you." Said Han Jiang and pointed to a metal room next to them.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan understood, they gave up the iron house with intact doors and windows, and searched the iron houses around the small square one by one, but all the iron houses were the same as the two they checked before. The rooms are equally dilapidated and covered with dust. In the end, only the tin house with intact doors and windows has not been inspected.

Han Jiang walked sideways to the gate of this iron house, Tang Feng stepped forward and pushed it, but it couldn't be pushed, and the two of them immediately noticed the specialness of this house.

Han Jiang signaled Tang Feng to stand by the door. Tang Feng held the dagger and hid sideways by the door. Liang Yuan followed behind Tang Feng. Seeing that Tang Feng and Liang Yuan were already in place, Han Jiang slammed towards the iron gate. The huge impact force almost deformed the door, but the door has not opened yet.
