Catastrophe
Chapter 47: life as bait
As Ning Zhe said, this Gobi Desert, known as the Land of Bones, is very dangerous. The transport team that usually goes to this fortress would rather detour to the desert than choose to travel here.
It is precisely because of the inaccessibility of people that the roads in the Gobi are not easy to walk. Most of them are potholes, but there are some high grounds, and there will be pieces of flat ground. Those are the roads left over from the old world period, but now there are many roads. Part of it has been buried deep underground, and only a small part has been squeezed out by the crustal movement. It is said that there are many such old world relics in this world, and there are also professional treasure hunters who make a living, but Ning Zhe has not seen it. There are some ruins near Fort 87.
The team traveled about ten kilometers in the Gobi, and finally stopped under a bridge.
The bridge in front is a broken bridge. The bottom seems to grow from the ground. It spreads diagonally into the air twenty meters high, and then stops abruptly. The bottom row of piers supporting the bridge deck is at least two meters in diameter. , the people in the fortress disagreed, but Ning Zhe and Fatty Li were deeply shocked.
The afterglow of the setting sun left a touch of orange-red on the distant horizon, illuminating the scaly sunset on the horizon.
While the vehicle was being refueled and refurbished, Gao Shengrong also got out of the off-road vehicle with a film camera, a smile on his face, and said to Pei Xiangtong: "After living in the fortress for so many years, I didn't expect that there would still be Such a beautiful scenery, it's so beautiful! Junior girl, the scene here is so romantic, or I'll take a picture for you!"
"Romantic? Didn't you see those refugees who fled the desert yesterday? I really don't think there is anything romantic about such a desolate place." Pei Xiangtong looked at the wind and sand in the distance, but was not touched.
"Oh, just take a picture. The people in the fortress have never seen such a scene before. I promise you, after you take this picture back, you will definitely be envied by many people." Gao Shengrong continued chattering.
"I left the fortress for research, not for tourism." Pei Xiangtong refused again, and began to dig a dead weed with Professor Xie in the distance.
At the same time, Ye Peng also walked to Ning Zhe's side and looked at him coldly: "We have been traveling in the Gobi for a long time, but we have not found any trace of wolf dung again, can you be sure that your position is correct? ?"
"I told you before entering the next door. I am not familiar with the terrain here, so I can only rely on some common sense to judge. Wolves are very cautious animals. On the unknown road ahead, other beasts found their traces, as for whether we can find them, we can only rely on luck." Ning Zhe glanced at the sunset that was about to sink into the horizon in the distance, and continued: "Most of the beasts in the wasteland are It is nocturnal, and once the time falls, it is dangerous, so we can't continue to walk, we have to find a place to camp!"
"Well, it makes sense!" Ye Peng glanced around, then pointed to the broken bridge rising from the ground behind him and said, "Tonight, we will camp on the bridge, you people, stay under the bridge!"
"What do you mean? You want us to be bait?" After Tu Shi heard Ye Peng's words, he took a step forward with a gloomy face. The broken bridge next to them was more than ten meters high, and there was only one entrance and exit. At this moment, Ye Peng Let them live under the bridge, it is clear that they are facing danger, ready to use them as shields.
Hearing this, Ning Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly. This group of fortress people actually let them, the refugees, use their lives as bait as an alert and an outpost to resist the danger.
"Otherwise? A group of pariahs, do you still want to rest with us?" Ye Peng did not deny Tu Shi's words, but said coldly to the other soldiers: "Remove the steering wheels of several cars and go to the bridge. Camp!"
"Yes!"
Several soldiers agreed and started to go to the car to get busy. At the same time, Gao Shengrong also ran to Ye Peng's side: "Captain Ye, I suggest that you should arrange a few people to be on duty at night to keep an eye on these refugees and prevent them from stealing us from the bridge. I heard that these people's hands and feet are not clean!"
"Well, it makes sense. Then tonight, you can keep watch tonight." Ye Peng patted Gao Shengrong's arm and took two soldiers to the bridge to survey the terrain. Slap, scolding bad luck.
A group of mercenaries quickly picked up all kinds of supplies and started to set up camp on the bridge. Ren Jiao and Tu Shi found a sheltered position under the bridge to dig a hole in the ground.
Just when the two of them were about to finish their job, Ning Zhe walked over to them: "You have chosen the wrong position, this is downwind, if any beasts are attracted by the smell of the food on the bridge, it must be from the downwind direction. Yes, so you should go to the other side of the bridge, so that although the wind is stronger, you can avoid the route that the animals traveled by!"
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" After listening to Lu Ningzhe's words, Ren Jiao had a sullen look on her face. The Gobi Desert is no better than the desert. Digging such a big hole took a lot of physical strength for the two of them.
"Ren Jiao, forget it, Brother Ning is kind enough to remind us!" Tu Shi smiled honestly and climbed up from the deep pit: "Let's dig another one before it gets dark."
"Then you don't want this hole, right?" Ning Zhe jumped into the hole and waved to Fatty Li: "Fatty, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com bring our things!"
"Hey! It's here!" Fatty Li ran over with two packages in his arms.
"Boy! Didn't you say that this place will be discovered by beasts?" Ren Jiao asked with wide eyes when she saw Ning Zhe's actions.
"Yes, it will be discovered here, but even if we really live upwind, the beasts can't run away when they come. They have a keen sense of smell, but their eyes are not blind! I really can't see the bridge when I'm attracted to it. Is there anyone here?" Ning Zhe sniffed, observed the pothole, and said to Fatty Li, "I'm not very satisfied with this pothole, we have to continue to revise it!"
Tu Shi: "???"
"Bastard! The old lady killed you!" Ren Jiao was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out, reaching out and touching the lower back.
"Xiaojiao! Forget it! Don't be so impulsive!" Tu Shi hugged Ren Jiao and pulled her away abruptly.
…
It was soon into the night. In addition to the ghostly sound of the wind whimpering on the Gobi Desert, the bridge was dark, and the bridge was lit by the bonfire lit by the scientific expedition team.
Ning Zhe's residence is to dig a hole in the flat ground, and then use a branch to prop up the hole and cover it with rainproof silk, which can resist the wind and keep warm.
At this moment, behind a big rock 30 meters away from the pothole, Ning Zhe and Fatty Li were looking for a place to poop, and Fatty Li beckoned to Ning Zhe after finding a slightly flat ground, "Brother Zhe , come here, there are pits on the ground, which happen to be natural toilets!"
"Tap!"
Ning Zhe rushed to hear the sound, and was stunned when he saw the traces on the ground.
Because the row of pits that Fatty Li said was a series of footprints of beasts bigger than his head. ?
