In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, the archaeological team had already packed up their things.

"Ah, Almighty Allah, thank you, thank you for letting me live another day."

An Liman took out a blanket, spread it slowly on the yellow sand, knelt on it, closed his eyes slightly, looked pious, opened his hands and stretched to the sky, then covered his face, and chanted loudly, he This is a prayer to Allah, a must-do exercise every morning.

"An Liman, gone."

Chen Changsheng called softly. The camel under his crotch seemed to know what he was thinking and was already heading in one direction, which was the direction of the Zidu An River.

"Jingle Bell!"

With the melodious and clear sound of camel bells ringing in the desert, a group of people rode camels and embarked on a new journey again.

Several days have passed on this journey to find the exquisite ancient city, and they are getting closer and closer to their destination. People become nervous and excited

"old man"

"Have you been to this black desert before?"

Hu Bayi rode a camel and walked in front of the team with An Liman, chatting up.

"This is a hell in the desert, few people have been here"

"Well, I also came here once for a small amount of time."

An Liman suddenly spilled the beans, and Hu Bayi looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Uh-huh, isn't this just this time?"

"If it weren't for your cadre master and God's beloved white camel, and that one, I wouldn't have come even to death."

Pointing at Chen Changsheng, whose figure had almost disappeared, An Liman said with extremely solemn eyes.

Along the way, the shock Chen Changsheng gave him was no less than that of a god alive, which was far more convincing and convincing than a threat. Afraid.

The deeper we walked, the hotter and drier it became. The wind was howling, and everyone kept drinking water. When we walked in the evening, the sunset appeared on the horizon, and the archaeological team stopped. In the lee of a sand dune Start setting up camp

"This demeanor has been going on for a day, when will it stop?"

Wang Kaixuan complained as he worked hard to dig out the sand and piled up a row of wind-proof sand piles on the side to prevent the tent from being blown away.

"Ouch, it’s windy season, that’s what it’s like"

"The scary thing about the Black Desert is not the quicksand that traps people, nor the ants that eat everything up, nor the black sandstorm. An

Liman set up the tent vigorously and told the story:"Legend has it, there is a dreamy place deep in the desert.""

"When people go in, they will see lakes, rivers, beauties, and mythical beasts, but until they die of thirst and exhaustion, they can't go there."

"Because those are traps set by the devil to lure people to die there."

This story fascinated everyone.

Shirley Yang took a sip of water:"He was talking about mirages in the desert. For people with dehydration, it is indeed easy to be confused."

"What is dehydration?"

Wang Kaixuan asked Hu Bayi curiously.

Hu Bayi explained:"Two-thirds of the human body is water. If five percent is lost, dehydration will occur."

"In a word, if there is a lack of water in the desert, it will be a dead end."

"Help, help, come here!"

Suddenly, a burst of shouting attracted everyone's attention.

"Bad, fat man, something happened."

Hu Ba threw the engineering shovel one by one and ran hurriedly towards the place where the cry for help came.

Most of Ye Yixin's body was sunk into the sand. Everyone thought she had encountered quicksand.

"Calm down.

Chen Changsheng smiled:"If it were quicksand, all of you would have fallen into it now.""

‘Uh-huh..’

Suddenly, everyone was stunned for a moment, but Ye Yixin, who was stuck in the desert, didn't seem to feel that his body was sinking.

On the contrary, Chen Changsheng saw the symptoms of dehydration from her pale face. I was afraid that she had suffered from dehydration for a while, but Chen Changsheng did not remind her that sometimes, stupid people should be blamed for stupidity. pay the price for behavior

"fat man"

"Go get the engineer shovel over."

Hu Bayi pulled Ye Yixin up, and a recess immediately appeared in the desert.

"Okay."

Wang Kaixuan quickly took two engineering shovels, and he and Hu Bayi dug up the place where Ye Yixin had sunk just now.

After a while, 'Bang!' Both of them felt that they had dug something. When they reached out and dug, it turned out to be gravel.

"How come there are stones?"

Shirley Yang's beautiful eyes were full of surprise. There were not even large pieces of soil in the desert, but there were actually stones.

"Miss Yang. Wang

Kaixuan had an idea and said alertly:"Did you say that the British found stone tombs here?""

"yes."

Shirley Yang nodded.

Hu Bayi seemed to have thought of something, and continued to look at the gravel in his hand, his eyes full of surprise:"This is the result of explosives."

"Explosives?"

Everyone was stunned.

Hu Bayi then cleaned up the sand, revealing a piece of gray-black irregular stones, and confirmed:"This was definitely caused by explosives, and it was an expert. The explosive force of this explosion was outward. Yes, so these gravels are outside and there won’t be any damage inside."

"precise small directed blasts, and..."

"And what?"

Shirley Yang said anxiously

"This is definitely not an ordinary explosive, it is military TNT."

Hu Bayi once again confirmed his inference. This is a basic skill he has mastered since he was a child and even in the army.

"Impossible."

Hao Aiguo and others didn't believe it.

"Are there really stone tombs here?"

"If there is, with such a big hole, it must have been stolen."

"Let’s clean out the bottom of the cave first so we can go down and take a look."

Professor Chen was also a little anxious and directed Chu Jian.

A few people cleaned up the sand in a few seconds, revealing a cave entrance that could accommodate at least one person walking alone. When they went down, they saw coffins all over the ground. It has been opened, and several of the mummies inside are missing.

"Old Hu, look."

Wang Kaixuan pointed to the military bag beside him and called Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi stepped forward and fiddled with it, revealing the TNT explosive inside:"Soviet goods, I played with them for two days when I was in the army."

"Are these tomb robbers Soviets?"

Shirley Yang said in surprise

"What a crime"

"Such a valuable ancient tomb was ruined."

Professor Chen looked at the bare tombs around him and felt sad.

However, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang felt heavy in their hearts. The Soviet Union was very close to Xinjiang. These Soviets carried TNT explosives, so there was no way they would be without firearms. , once you meet them, it will be a brutal duel.
