In the evening of that day, I received a message from the old professor asking me to go to the airport in Jiangyuan City before six o'clock and take the last flight to southern Xinjiang.

I didn't want to bear too much pain of parting, so after leaving a message, I left quietly.

Abu is also walking with me.

When Abu and I arrived at the airport, we saw several familiar figures waiting for me from a long distance away.

Fire Monkey, Li Xin and Yang Hui can all be regarded as my old acquaintances.

In addition to them, there were four strange faces, three men and one woman, but their complexions were not very good-looking. After seeing me, only the woman raised her head and smiled at me.

"I thought you were reluctant to part with Ruanxiang and refused to come."

Fire Monkey is the most enthusiastic of these people to me.

Although his face was also not very good-looking, the kindness shown made people feel extremely comfortable.

"how come."

I chatted with him a few words, and boarded the plane together under their leadership.

During the conversation, I learned that they also received that weird video at the same time last night.

The advance team who died before leaving the team tried their lives to prove to us how terrible the destination is. Although we haven't set off yet, the whole team seems to be covered with a layer of gray fog, feeling depressed. It makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

After getting on the plane, I realized that there were only eight of us as passengers.

"Our follow-up action team only has eight people?"

While I was puzzled, I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

There are more than 20 members of the advance team, all of them are good players in the army, but even if they are well-trained, their death conditions are still extremely miserable.

The cause of death is still unclear, isn't it a bit reckless to rely on the eight of us?
"More than that, in order for us to enter the desert safely, there is also a 20-member escort team waiting for us at Korla. We will arrive at Korla Airport in the early morning. If the weather is good, we will be there in the early morning. Set off and officially enter the Taklamakan Desert in the afternoon."

The fire monkey gave me a rough explanation of the itinerary.

Although he kept a smile on his face while talking to me, I could still see worry and depression underneath that smile.

But Fire Monkey is much better than others.

Probably I am the only exception among these people, maybe I have long been used to weird things happening, that weird video just made me feel very uncomfortable, but there was no pressure.

Not long after the plane took off, our team fell into silence.

I also listened to the fire monkey's advice and closed my eyes to rest for a while.

When I woke up, the plane had already landed in Korla, and as soon as I got off the plane, I felt a cool breeze blowing away all my tiredness.

There were two jeeps parked outside the airport. Standing next to the jeep was a short but unusually strong man with a jagged beard that looked a little scruffy. When he spoke, his voice sounded like thunder.

Fire Monkey had a few conversations with that man, from which I knew that this short man was called Wang Gang, and he lived up to his name.

Wang Gang sent us to the booked hotel and told us to have a good rest. If there is no accident, we will set off at nine o'clock in the morning.

To be honest, I don't think this arrangement is necessary.

Because it was less than four hours before eight o'clock.

Such a short time is not enough for us to rest, and on the plane, we have almost rested, so it is better to start directly and reach the Taklamakan Desert as soon as possible.

Although I think so, it may not represent everyone.

In line with the principle that the minority obeys the majority, I can only come to the hotel with them.

It was eight o'clock soon, and Wang Gang had been waiting for us downstairs for a long time. There was no trace of a smile on his sharp-edged face, but the strange thing was that although his face was drooping, he gave people an indescribable kindness .

Out of the city, continue along the highway.

The fire monkey chatted with this man from time to time, and gradually, I discovered that this man is also a talkative person.

If you don't open your mouth, it's enough. Once you open your mouth, it's like the water of the Yellow River breaking its embankment.

Wang Gang is the captain of the escort team that protected us from entering the Taklimakan Desert this time, a team of 20 people in total.Plus a local guide.

By afternoon, we had reached the edge of the Taklimakan Desert.

"Hey, this temperature is really cool."

The fire monkey standing beside me couldn't help sighing.

Indeed, the world's second largest mobile desert has a huge temperature difference between day and night. During the day, the highest temperature can reach more than 60 degrees. Although the hot noon time has been avoided now, the terrifying temperature still makes people feel uncomfortable. .

Less than 3 minutes after getting off the bus, our clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Let's go!"

Under the leadership of Wang Gang, we soon saw a group of people. Compared with us, they were fully armed, and everyone was carrying a hiking bag that was half the height of a person. I saw something in the gap, the gun.

Besides these people, there were a whole ten camels.

According to Fire Monkey, the place we are going this time is far away, vehicles cannot enter, and there is a very strange electromagnetic interference in that place. Once the helicopter enters the range of electromagnetic interference, it will become deaf and blind and lose its way.

That's why we need local guides to show us the way.

On foot, the camel, known as the ship of the desert, can provide us with great help.

These camels are not used to carry people, but to carry various instruments, as well as the water and food we need.

After a short rest, our team of nearly 30 people embarked on the journey.

Although it was afternoon, we were still inevitably exposed to the sun. Although we had wrapped ourselves up tightly before leaving the hotel, the scalding heat wave still hit our faces.

Especially after sweating, the whole person seems to be in a sauna.

Don't feel so good.

In my heart, I hoped that the temperature would cool down faster, but the ridiculous thing is that when the wish came true, I regretted it a bit.

"Camp in place."

When only the afterglow of the sun remained in the sky, the guide ordered our team to stop advancing and asked us to camp and light a fire on the spot.

Of course, most of us can't understand the guide's mutton-flavored authentic dialect.

Most of what the guide said was translated by Wang Gang for us.

The team members quickly set up a simple tent on the sand.

Although the temperature is still high, a fire was lit in our camp, using carbon blocks prepared in advance.

Liquid concentrated food is not tasty, but just eating a piece as big as the index finger can make us feel full.

After the meal, I shared the same tent with the fire monkey and another man. Because we will get up early tomorrow, the two of them quickly got into the sleeping bag and fell asleep.

But I didn't feel sleepy, and my heart was inexplicably a little irritable.

After staying in the tent for less than 10 minutes, I went out, intending to get some air.
