Xixia dead book

Chapter 213 The Finale of Death (3)
Liang Yuan was on the verge of speaking, but she didn't dare to say it. Tang Feng took over, "Are you trying to say that the woman wearing the mask appeared again?"

"Other than that, what power can make the Hummer suddenly catch fire?" Liang Yuan widened her eyes and looked at Tang Feng in horror.

"Don't be alarmist. The fire started near the Black Stone because of the natural asphalt and sulfur in the Gobi Desert. Is there any here? This..." Han Jiang was halfway through the sentence, and suddenly fell silent, because he smelled the familiar natural gas again. Asphalt smell.

Tang Feng and others also smelled the smell of natural asphalt, but Liang Yuan still refused to give up, "But why did the natural asphalt suddenly burn? You also saw that masked woman with your own eyes!"

Han Jiang didn't know the difference, because he didn't know how to explain all this, so he walked around the Humvee that had been burned into an empty shell, and urged sharply: "The place of right and wrong, don't stay for long! Come on, everyone!" Car, let’s get out of here first.”

Tang Feng heard something in Han Jiang's words, "Are you worried that our car will also catch fire, or are you afraid that the masked woman will appear?"

"No matter what, you have to get out of this ghost place first!"

"But where should we go? The ruts that have been guiding us are gone!" Tang Feng reminded Han Jiang.

Han Jiang sat back in the cab, held the steering wheel, thought for a while, and said, "Go ahead and follow the footprints running down the slope. If this person is really injured, he shouldn't be far away. Maybe we I can find him!"

Everyone fell silent, and no one had a better idea. Seeing that no one objected, Han Jiang stepped on the accelerator and rushed down the slope with messy steps.

2
For some reason, a bad feeling rose in Han Jiang's heart. Han Jiang, who was eager to get out of the dangerous situation, continued to accelerate despite going downhill. The old jeep seemed to fly and rushed down the slope. The mound was even more ferocious. Suddenly, Tang Feng smelled a pungent smell of asphalt and sulfur, and then he smelled the burnt smell, followed by Liang Yuan's scream, "It's burning, it's burning! Stop now!" !"

Han Jiang went to step on the brakes, but he stepped on the brakes to the bottom, and the jeep was still speeding down the slope, and white smoke kept coming out of the hood in front of the car; later, the brakes simply failed completely, and there were several roads ahead. A huge mound, Han Jiang finally shouted the command to escape, "Jump! Jump quickly!"

Fortunately, the terrain here has slowed down. Yelena and Makarov jumped out of the car one after another. Liang Yuan didn't dare to jump. Tang Feng hugged Liang Yuan and hesitated again and again. Finally, Han Jiang slammed her and jumped out of the car.

Seeing that everyone had already jumped out of the car, Han Jiang was about to jump out of the car when he saw a huge mound in front of him, and it was too late to avoid it. The moment the jeep hit the mound, Han Jiang jumped out of the driver's seat, There was a dull explosion, and suddenly, the jeep ignited raging fire, and instantly turned into a pile of scrap iron.

"Han!" Yelena yelled, and ran towards the burning jeep. Yelena ran closer, only to see Han Jiang staggering out of the black smoke, and the two embraced tightly.However, before the two of them could enjoy the joy of the rest of their lives, a rumbling fog came from the depths of the valley. Han Jiang and Yelena looked at the strange fog in surprise, and Tang Feng instinctively grabbed Liang Yuan's hand, Makarov's eyes widened in horror, as if returning to the scene more than 30 years ago...

The fog quickly surrounded them and continued to hit the hillside, "What a strange fog!" Tang Feng muttered to himself. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he could no longer see Han Jiang and Yelena.

"Han Jiang!" Tang Feng shouted in the direction he thought Han Jiang was.

But there was no reply, and there was thick fog all around. Tang Feng grabbed Liang Yuan tightly, for fear that Liang Yuan would also disappear in the thick fog. At this moment, Makarov's old voice came from not far away. , "Yelena! Yelena!—"

He didn't hear Yelena's echo, and Makarov's shout gradually weakened. Tang Feng couldn't see Makarov's figure, but he judged from the sound that Makarov should be nearby, so he shouted loudly : "Old horse, I'm here!"

Makarov obviously also heard Tang Feng's voice, "Tang Feng, don't move! I'm here to find you!"

The fog is getting bigger and thicker, and it is difficult to distinguish the scenery within two or three meters around.Tang Feng didn't dare to act rashly, he grabbed Liang Yuan tightly, stood in place, and waited for Makarov to appear; but time passed by, and Makarov hadn't appeared yet, Tang Feng's heart twitched, Just as he was about to shout, at this moment, a gust of wind blew past and rolled up the yellow sand. Tang Feng could only close his eyes and mouth tightly, and the wind gradually picked up, with no intention of stopping at all. Could it be another black dust storm? ?Tang Feng was thinking wildly, his feet were already unsteady, he instinctively wanted to hide behind a nearby mound, but he couldn't tell the direction of the mound at all, he could only roughly deduce the location of the mound based on his original impression. position.

Tang Feng pulled Liang Yuan and ran towards the imaginary mound. After a few minutes, the mound was not found, but the wind and sand became more and more violent. Tang Feng felt that his body no longer belonged to him. Even if he is like this, the frail Liang Yuan will definitely not be able to support him... Thinking of this, Tang Feng pulled Liang Yuan hard, but he didn't expect that his foot slipped and fell on the dirt slope On the road, Tang Feng was strong, and he slid with Liang Yuan, and the two of them rolled down the slope.

The two rolled to a gentle place, the dust storm showed no sign of stopping, and the fog still enveloped everything around them thickly.Tang Feng ignored the pain in his body, pulled Liang Yuan up and continued to run towards an unknown direction. Tang Feng stopped several times and called Han Jiang and Makarov's names, but there was no response.

I don't know how long it took, after Tang Feng and Liang Yuan climbed over several hills in the dense fog, they seemed to have climbed a high mountain, "We should have left that Yadan landform!" Tang Feng panted Shouted at Liang Yuan in a rough voice.

Liang Yuan choked and said, "But where is this? The fog hasn't cleared yet?"

"We seem to have climbed a mountain..." Tang Feng said in the thick fog.

"It's over, we're lost, we'll never get out..." Liang Yuan cried.

"No! We can go out. We climbed up from the side of the ridge just now, and now we will climb down from the other side." Tang Feng could no longer tell the direction.

"Do you know what's waiting for us down the mountain on this side?"

"What will it be?"

"Anyway, they are scary things!" Liang Yuan looked hesitantly at the hillside shrouded in thick fog.

"Maybe the fog will clear up when we go down!" Tang Feng comforted Liang Yuan.

Up to now, Liang Yuan didn't have any better attention, so she had to follow Tang Feng, and the two began to walk down the mountain from the other side of the ridge. Tang Feng noticed that the sand on the ridge was very dry, and the further down the mountain, the sand became more and more It was humid, but the thick fog still did not dissipate. Although there was not a single tree on this sandy mountain, Tang Feng still couldn't see the situation below the mountain clearly.

"This... the sand is getting more and more humid, isn't there a big river underneath?" Liang Yuan also saw the clue.

"A big river in the desert?" Tang Feng muttered to himself, thinking about this unrealistic answer.

"Or...or another Haizi!"

"Haizi!" Tang Feng nodded after listening to Liang Yuan's guess, "Be careful on your feet, there is a very high possibility that there is a Haizi at the bottom of this mountain, don't slide down!"

The two carefully descended to the bottom of the mountain. The terrain was much gentler than before, but the fog did not dissipate, but became thicker. Suddenly, Tang Feng stopped, stood on the wet sand, and listened attentively, "Wow, Whoa, whoa..." He heard an unbelievable voice, the more Tang Feng listened, the wider his eyes widened, Liang Yuan also heard this voice, she opened her mouth wide in shock, and after a while, she exclaimed , "The sound of water, it's the sound of water!"

Tang Feng nodded, "And there is still a loud sound of water, I...I really can't believe it."

"I can't believe it. I guessed that there might be a Haizi under the mountain." Liang Yuan said with a bit of complacency.

"Haizi? The Haizi we saw before was as calm as a mirror. When did there be such a loud sound of water?"

Tang Feng's question made Liang Yuan choke and had nothing to say, "Yes! The sound of the water is like... like..." Liang Yuan held back for a long time, but she still didn't say that incredible word.

The fog lingered for a long time, Tang Feng pulled Liang Yuan, and moved towards the sound of water very carefully with every step. It didn't take long for them to come to the edge of the water.

Tang Feng couldn't see the world behind the thick fog clearly. He bent down to check the water in front of him. The water quality was clear, but what surprised Tang Feng was not the water quality, but the fact that the water here was flowing, just like being on the coast. The water kept flowing towards the shore, and soon covered Tang Feng's shoe uppers. Tang Feng was so startled that he hurriedly retreated, but the water did not continue to flow forward. After a while, the water retreated again.

Tang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Now I have a feeling of being in a lifetime."

"Yes! Are we in the desert or by the sea?" Liang Yuan was also surprised.

"It's not surprising, have you heard of Ju Yanhai?" Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan thought for a while, "I seem to have some impressions. I remember that it was recorded in historical books that the Badain Jaran Desert was a large lake with rich water and grass in the Han Dynasty, called 'Juyan Lake'. Later, the environment deteriorated and the water surface became smaller and smaller. In the end, it completely became a Gobi desert.”

Tang Feng nodded, "That's right, so the Badain Jaran Desert is different from other deserts. After the Juyan Sea disappeared, many large and small seas remained in the Badain Jaran Desert."

"But the water surface of the Haizi we met before was not big, so it was also very calm, without any ripples!"

"Maybe we have encountered a relatively large Haizi." Tang Feng speculated.

"A bigger Haizi? How big can it be?" Liang Yuan looked at the water under her feet curiously. At this moment, the water flowed towards the shore where they were standing, accompanied by the sound of "squeaking".

"It's hard to say, maybe we are already very close to that legendary oasis."

"Death Oasis, then it must be very dangerous here."

"The fog still lingers, we can't see anything clearly, maybe the danger is right beside us."

"Ah!—Don't scare me!" Liang Yuan stared with terrified eyes, as if trying to see through the thick fog.

"Maybe... maybe this is just an ordinary Haizi..." Speaking of this, Tang Feng seemed to think of something, "I suddenly understood!"

"Understand what?"

"This thick fog, the desert Gobi should be an extremely dry place, but why is there such a heavy fog in the Wild Wolf Valley?"

"You mean these Haizis?" Liang Yuan looked at Tang Feng suspiciously.

"I think that's how it is. When the humidity provided by Haizi meets the extremely dry air of the Gobi desert, such a thick fog will be formed." Tang Feng speculated boldly.

"You may be right, but I still can't believe it, such a thick fog, unless...unless the sea here is very big, with a lot of water..."

"I think the sea in front of me is very big. It should be able to prove my inference. The fog may even be caused by this sea." Tang Feng said, picking up a reed that was washed ashore by the current from the shore, Marked it, stuck it in the sand, and said to Liang Yuan: "If you don't believe me, let's walk along this lake, how about it?"

"What's the matter, that's all there is now!" Liang Yuan said helplessly with a dejected face.

Many of Tang Feng and Liang Yuan's equipment had been lost. They rearranged the remaining equipment and walked along the shore of Haizi. They didn't know how big this Haizi was, nor where they could go, and even more They didn't know what danger they would encounter, but they had no choice.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan walked along the shore of Haizi. Every step they took was extremely careful, because the fog still refused to clear, and they could only see clearly the surrounding scenery within two meters.Tang Feng walked in front, holding Liang Yuan with one hand, for fear that she would fall into the thick fog and disappear without a trace. With the other hand, he tightly held his pistol, which was found in the bunker. TT-33 pistol, Tang Feng tried his best to see the world behind the thick fog, but there was still fog besides the fog.Tang Feng felt his heart beating nervously, what's ahead?trap?beast?Or those men in black?
Tang Feng pulled Liang Yuan up to the bank and took two steps, keeping a distance of two or three meters from the water. Now he began to worry that something might suddenly jump out of the water... Liang Yuan understood Tang Feng was worried, and followed Tang Feng closely. The two walked along the shore for more than ten minutes. The surrounding scenery did not change in any way. Other than that, nothing.

The two walked forward for more than ten minutes. Tang Feng reckoned that they had been walking for almost half an hour, but they still hadn't reached the place where Tang Feng had inserted the reed just now. Is this Haizi really big? !Tang Feng was thinking secretly in his heart, and continued to walk forward, stepping on the wet fine sand. Tang Feng's heart went up and down, and he was also paying attention to the sand under his feet, looking for possible clues. The footprints of him and Liang Yuan didn't leave any clues. Could it be that no one has ever been here?Didn't any animals even come by?

The two walked along the shore for another half an hour, but still did not return to the place where they started. Not only did the fog not dissipate, but it became thicker, and nothing was found on the yellow sand on the shore.

Liang Yuan also felt strange, "We have walked around Haizi for so long, and we still haven't returned to the starting point? And there is no sign of any animals coming by the shore."

"Maybe there are no living things here at all."

"A real no-man's land! No, it's not just a no-man's land, it's a lifeless area!"

"Inanimate zone?!" Tang Feng's body shook slightly, inanimate zone, what does this mean?
"Look! What is that?" Tang Feng was still immersed in his thoughts, and Liang Yuan suddenly shouted.

Tang Feng followed the direction of Liang Yuan's finger and looked forward. On the sandy ground not far away, a red thing loomed. Liang Yuan reached out to get the red cigarette case, but was grabbed by Tang Feng. Liang Yuan was puzzled, and Tang Feng reminded softly: "Look, footprints."

It was only then that Liang Yuan noticed that there were two strings of footprints on the sand. One string seemed to extend from the sand slope and lead all the way to the water's edge, while the other stretched along the water's edge toward them. Near the red cigarette case, the footprints are obviously very messy.

"I seem to have seen this cigarette case somewhere." Liang Yuan stared at the cigarette case.

Tang Feng approached the red cigarette case lightly, and then carefully picked it up. Tang Feng recognized the Russian trademark on the cigarette case, "This should be the old horse's cigarette case."

"Yes, he seems to be smoking this kind of cigarette." Liang Yuan also recalled.

"Old..." Liang Yuan was about to call out to Makarov excitedly, but Tang Feng covered her mouth, "You don't want to die!"

"What?" Liang Yuan stared at Tang Feng with big innocent eyes.

"We can only speculate that this is Lao Ma's cigarette case, but we are not sure. What if it belongs to someone else?" Liang Yuan understood what Tang Feng meant by "other people"?Tang Feng continued: "There are still these footprints, how many people are there?"

"There is only a series of footprints descending from the sandy slope, how many people can there be?"

Tang Feng squatted down and carefully identified the footprints around the cigarette box. The footprints were obviously very messy and hesitant. After a long time, Tang Feng was finally sure, "There are indeed only one person's footprints. Is it really an old horse? I rested here for a while, but there was no extinguished cigarette butt nearby, the old horse seemed to be hesitant, and his steps were very messy, maybe something happened to him by the water?"

Tang Feng seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be analyzing, Liang Yuan urged him, "Don't worry about it so much, let's quickly follow our footprints!"

Tang Feng didn't say anything else, and walked forward quickly with Liang Yuan. Soon, Tang Feng found that the footprints along the shore became more messy as they walked forward. There were several times in the middle, and the footprints were tangled together on the sand. , but in the end it continued to extend forward, extending into the boundless and endless thick fog.
