Chapter 205 The KGB and the CIA (42)
The Grand Cherokee was about to approach the market town, but there was no intention of slowing down at all. Tang Feng felt that this black Grand Cherokee seemed familiar. Yes, Black Stone, the one they chased all the way from Qianhu Town to Heishi The Grand Cherokee is also black. When Tang Feng thought of this, the black Grand Cherokee had rushed into the market town, and people on both sides of the road dodged one after another. Only Tang Feng was still thinking about the problem just now. It was not until the Grand Cherokee rushed to him that Tang Feng was caught. The screech of brakes woke me up.

Tang Feng instinctively took two steps back, and then fixed his eyes on the brand new Grand Cherokee in front of him. No, this is not the one they encountered at Black Rock. After the car hit Black Rock, it was severely damaged. In a short time, it was Impossible to restore, and this black Grand Cherokee is pristine, exactly as it came from the factory.

Tang Feng paid special attention to the license plate of the Grand Cherokee, but there was only a Mongolian temporary license plate on this car. Tang Feng was a little puzzled, and then saw two people jumping out of the car, a man and a woman, wearing sunglasses, judging from their clothes , like a senior donkey friend.The man greeted the clerk in proficient Mongolian, and Yelena noticed the two people. While the two men were talking to the clerk, Tang Feng asked Yelena in a low voice, "What are they talking about?"

"They're asking guys if they have a spare wheel for their car."

"I'm afraid it's hard to find tires for this kind of car in this small shop!" Tang Feng looked at the brand new Grand Cherokee, and then at the woman who had been standing beside the car without moving.

The woman's head moved slightly. Tang Feng was not sure whether the woman was watching him behind the sunglasses. After a while, the man returned empty-handed. Tang Feng quickly retracted his gaze and whispered to Yelena, "Why? In this way, I said that this kind of small shop will not have tires for their kind of car."

Yelena didn't disagree, she was also watching the couple. The man said a few words to the woman who had been waiting, and the two hurried into the car and continued to drive north. In the blink of an eye, the Grand Cherokee rushed out of the car. The market town disappeared into the vast grassland.

After the black Cherokee had gone far away, Tang Feng regained his composure. He asked Yelena, "What did that man say to that woman?"

"It's far away, and the man's voice is not high enough to hear clearly."

"Do you recognize what language they speak?"

"At first the man spoke Mongolian to the guy, but later he seemed to speak Chinese to the woman, but I'm not sure, the distance is too far..." Yelena seemed to be recalling.

"Chinese? Does the man speak Mongolian with an accent?" Tang Feng asked.

Yelena shook her head, "I can't tell the accent, but it's definitely not local."

"You said..." Tang Feng hesitated, and then asked Yelena, "Do you think these two people are related to our business?"

"It's... hard to say!" Yelena shook her head and replied.

"Have you noticed, they came from the south just like us." Tang Feng reminded Yelena.

Of course Yelena noticed this, "I saw it, but it doesn't explain the problem. We have traveled more than 60 kilometers here, and there will be many forks in the southern border line to this place, so it's hard to be sure of them based on this alone. It's about our business."

"But in such a remote market town and such a sensitive place, the appearance of such a car is always suspicious!"

Just as Tang Feng was talking, there was another roar of an engine in the distance, and the two of them followed their attention. The sound came from the north of the market town. Sure enough, after a short while, another off-road vehicle appeared on the road north of the market town, "This The guy is back again?" Tang Feng muttered to himself.

But when the car approached, Tang Feng realized that it was not the black Grand Cherokee that passed just now, but a black Hummer!The speed of the Hummer was fast, but when it entered the town, it slowed down. When the car passed the car repair shop, Tang Feng stared at the window, trying to see who was inside?But he couldn't see anything.

As the Hummer drove past the repair shop, Tang Feng was still staring at the rear window of the Hummer, feeling a strange feeling all over his body.He noticed that the Hummer stopped in front of a grocery store when it was driving out of the market town, but no one got out of the car, but the window was slowly lowered... After a while, there was a child in the store with a Three bottles of mineral water ran to the front of the car, and an arm protruded from the passenger seat. It was too far away, Tang Feng couldn't tell if it was a man's hand or a woman's hand?But Tang Feng noticed that this arm was tightly wrapped by a layer of black cloth.

"Three bottles of water, there are three people in the car... Tang Feng murmured."

"This is the last market town before entering the desert. If you want to enter the desert, this water is far from enough." Yelena said.

"It's lively now, it's Cherokee again, and Hummer again. When Han Jiang and I entered the desert from the south, we didn't see any other vehicles, but only found two ruts. Later, these two ruts disappeared. We came across one of the damaged black Grand Cherokees at Blackstone, and now we've turned to the north, but seeing so many cars, it seems that many people want to enter the desert from the north."

After Tang Feng finished speaking, the Hummer had already driven out of the market town, and was advancing at full speed along the road leading to the south.

Yelena stared at the Hummer that was gradually going away, and asked Tang Feng, "Are you so sure that these two cars have the same purpose as ours?"

"At least that Humvee is suspicious. It's heading south."

"But if they're going into the desert, why don't they bring some extra water?"

"Maybe they have already brought enough water, and they just bought some more now. Who knows?" Tang Feng thought for a while, and then said, "And this is the last market town to enter the desert, why don't they stay here, I think They don't want people to notice their whereabouts."

"You can also think about this question in reverse. Maybe they didn't go to the desert. There are many forks in the south to the advance base. In short, anything is possible."

Yelena turned her head and asked the man a few words in Mongolian. The man described it to Yelena for a long time with gestures and words. Yelena seemed to understand what the man meant and nodded frequently. Tang Feng was confused, "You and that man What did you say?"

"I asked him whether there were any foreigners who came to this town in the past few days besides us? He said that there were some foreigners, but not many came with off-road vehicles like ours, so he remembered that there were a few off-road vehicles recently. I often come to this market town, including the black Grand Cherokee just now."

"Oh! It seems that these people are nearby."

"Dude said he'd worked on that Grand Cherokee, so he knew it."

"This is even more strange. That Grand Cherokee is very new. It is obviously a new car that just left the factory. How can it be repaired..." Tang Feng said this, and the Grand Cherokee that hit the Blackstone immediately appeared in his mind. , the model is exactly the same as the one I saw just now, "Ask the guy where the Grand Cherokee was repaired?"

Yelena then asked the clerk again, and the clerk talked and gestured, and Yelena translated to Tang Feng: "The clerk said that there was something wrong with the chassis of the car, as if it was hit by a stone on the Gobi Desert. The clerk also said Chassis problems can’t be repaired by small shops like them, so although he tried his best, the car probably won’t be able to cross the desert anymore.”

"Chassis problem? The off-road vehicle has a high chassis, so how can there be problems?"

"Is that the problem with the Grand Cherokee you ran into at Blackstone?"

Tang Feng shook his head, "No, that car hit the black stone, and the front hood was deformed. I guess that car can't move."

"It seems that the two cars are not connected..."

"It's too early to draw this conclusion. Have you noticed the license plate of the Grand Cherokee just now?"

"Attention, there is only a Mongolian temporary license."

"That's also suspicious."

"Do you suspect that this car came from China?"

"And that Hummer, dude, haven't you seen this Hummer before?"

"I asked, and the guy said he'd never seen that Hummer."

After Tang Feng and Yelena overhauled the vehicle at the car repair shop, they bought a lot of water, food, batteries and other items at the grocery store in the market town. When Tang Feng purchased these items, he always felt that there were two eyes staring at him. He kept looking around, the small town, the sudden appearance of the two of them as uninvited guests obviously attracted a lot of attention, but Tang Feng looked around for a long time, but he still couldn't find the gaze hidden in the depths.

Surrounded by shops, small wooden houses, and tin houses, Tang Feng felt that behind every window, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him. He didn't know whether he was too sensitive, or they were too conspicuous, or there were really A pair of eyes stared at him in the dark, Tang Feng was still looking around, Yelena tugged on Tang Feng's skirt, and said in a low voice, "Don't look around, even if you want to observe, you have to look at it from the corner of your eye, didn't Han Jiang teach you Have you ever been?"

"Taught, but I feel as if there is a pair of eyes watching us."

"Then you can't look around."

"Did you find anything?"

"Not yet, maybe you are too sensitive."

Hearing what Agent Ace said, Tang Feng calmed down for a while. The two of them did not dare to stay here for long after purchasing the necessary items. Yelena drove out of this market town quickly, but to Tang Feng's surprise, Yelena did not leave The road they had come in, they rushed up the road leading to the north.

Seeing Yelena heading north, Tang Feng couldn't help asking in surprise, "Did we go wrong?"

"That's right! Let's go back the other way." Yelena replied affirmatively.

"Another way? Is there another way back to the base?"

"In short, we can't go back to the base directly like we did when we came here, it would be good to go around a few more times on the grassland!"

"Didn't you say you didn't find anything unusual?"

"It's always right to be careful." Yelena said as she rushed up a hill to the north of the market town.

After turning over the hill, Yelena left the road to the north, turned to the west, and took a detour through a mountain pass. Yelena turned south again. This is a grassland with no road at all. After walking forward for a long time, the grassland gradually degenerated. Large stretches of pastures that have been deserted, and further ahead is the vast Gobi.

Tang Feng vaguely saw a rut on the ground, and this rut ​​seemed to accompany them all the time, Tang Feng asked suspiciously, "Why is there always a rut on the ground?"

"This is the way I walked back to the base yesterday." Yelena replied calmly.

"No wonder you left here!"

"Of course, if you are completely aimless in the vast grassland and Gobi, it is easy to get lost..." Yelena was halfway through speaking, but suddenly her voice disappeared, and Tang Feng felt that the speed of the car also slowed down.

"What's the matter?" Tang Feng looked at Yelena, and he noticed that Yelena's face became serious, and the speed of the car became slower and slower, and finally Yelena simply stopped the car.

Yelena stood up and looked forward. Tang Feng didn't understand why Yelena suddenly looked like this, but he saw Yelena's right hand was always on the pistol at her waist.

The Gobi Desert was terribly quiet. Yelena's deep and melancholy eyes had been staring quietly into the distance for a long time before she said slowly, "Tang Feng, look at another rut on the Gobi Desert."

Tang Feng was startled, only to realize that at some point, another rut appeared on the road they were driving on. This rut ​​was very wide, and it was obvious that it was not left by their classic jeep.

"Who will stay here? On this deserted Gobi Desert!" Tang Feng jumped out of the car in doubt.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yelena slowly released her right hand from the pistol and jumped out of the car. Yelena and Tang Feng surveyed the new rut together, "Such a wide rut looks like a Hummer or something similar. A military off-road vehicle was left behind." Yelena made a preliminary judgment.

"Hummer? Could it be that Hummer?" Tang Feng's heart trembled, but he shook his head immediately, "No, we watched that Hummer head towards the road to the south!"

"This is not the key, the key is the purpose of this car!"

"Purpose? You just said that this road leads to the advance base, so this car is also going to the advance base!" Tang Feng speculated.

"That's exactly what I was worried about! We took a detour just to avoid being followed, but I didn't expect someone to walk in front of us!" Yelena was a little annoyed.

"Maybe the car just went the wrong way..."

"The front is no man's land, who would break into it for no reason?"

"Looks like we need to be more careful!"

"Well, I suddenly have a very bad feeling!" Yelena said, jumped back to the driver's seat, and greeted Tang Feng, "Quick, come up, hurry back to the base first."

Tang Feng got into the car, and as the speed of the car accelerated, he felt the uneasiness and anxiety in Yelena's heart.After Yelena drove wildly on the Gobi Desert for another half an hour, they saw the iron house of the base. The noon sun shone on the iron house, casting a strange halo on the whole base.

As the base was getting closer, Yelena began to slow down. Tang Feng noticed that when Yelena slowly drove into the deserted gate of the base, her right hand was on the pistol at her waist again, and Tang Feng also pulled out the gun nervously.

The base was completely silent, and the sound of the classic jeep echoed in the base. Tang Feng and Yelena had already sensed something was wrong. The air in the base was filled with a strange atmosphere. Hearing the sound of the car, Han Jiang, Makarov, and Liang Yuan should have Come out, but can't see these three people.

Yelena also took out her gun and opened the safety. Yelena was careful not to park the jeep in the small square in the base. If there was an ambush there, she and Tang Feng would be the targets of attack!Yelena slowly parked the car next to a tin house at the gate of the base. When the jeep quieted down, Yelena and Tang Feng jumped out of the car and quickly hid under the tin house.

A gust of wind blows from the depths of the desert, rolling up tiny grains of sand, and the fine sand blows on Tang Feng's face. Tang Feng's eyes narrow into a line, and he listens intently except for the sound of the wind and the slight sound of the sand grains hitting the iron house. , there is no other sound in the base, what about Han Jiang and the others?Did they encounter any accident?While Tang Feng was thinking wildly, Yelena had already pushed open the door of the iron house next to her, and there was no one inside. Same as what she saw before, Yelena pushed open another door, and there was no one inside. Tang Feng followed Yelena, After pushing through seven or eight rooms in a row, there was no one there, neither Han Jiang nor the others, nor any other suspicious persons.

Tang Feng and Yelena looked at each other, and walked around to the window of the iron house where they lived. There was still a dead silence inside, and there was no sound. Tang Feng looked at Yelena, and wanted to reach out to push the door like the previous few times, but Yelena remained silent. Tang Feng grabbed Tang Feng, and Tang Feng looked at Yelena in surprise. Yelena winked at the steps in front of the iron house. Tang Feng followed Yelena's gaze and found a mess of footprints on the steps in front of the iron house. .

Tang Feng carefully identified the footprints on the steps. He pointed to one of the large footprints, meaning to tell Yelena: This is Han Jiang's footprint; then, Tang Feng pointed to a small footprint, obviously it was Liang Yuan Yelena also recognized Makarov's footprints, and the rest was an extremely messy footprint, but Tang Feng and Yelena clearly saw the mystery from the messy footprints, there were strangers' footprints inside. , it seems that when they were away, someone came here!
Thinking of this, Yelena stopped hesitating and kicked open the door. Tang Feng raised his gun and followed in. The two leaned back to each other. When the smoke and dust cleared away, they found that there was no one in the iron house.

"Our things are all here, where are Han Jiang and the others?" Tang Feng lowered his voice.

Yelena checked the items in the room, and they were basically still there, but the experienced Yelena still saw the clues, "Although the items are all there, but look here, there are also messy footprints, someone else must have come in , and just now!"

"That rut..." Tang Feng suddenly remembered the rut that suddenly appeared on the Gobi Desert.

"Run marks?" Yelena was lost in thought.
