Vermillion mole

The five stopped to rest, and Aning asked Tashi a few times: "According to your experience, how can you find it better?"

Tashi shook his head: "You are the only way. We have walked about seven kilometers now. According to the straight line distance, we have already walked a long way, but in fact we have already turned the direction unconsciously. Looking at the compass, now we Almost walking back, people here are like ants, they will take the S-shaped route unconsciously, so now I can only guarantee to take you out, I can’t give advice when looking for someone...It’s okay if they don’t move, if they I'm also looking for a way out, so what's the probability that you two teams will meet in the maze of [-] square kilometers?"

Aning was dissatisfied with this answer, and frowned, "Has any of you lost before?"

Tashi piled up stones and shook his head without raising his head: "We never go to this kind of place at night."

After he finished speaking, he sighed. Seeing that Tashi couldn't come up with any useful suggestions, Aning looked at Wu Xie, gave him a look, and signaled him to ask Zhu Sha for help.

Wu Xie helplessly poked the back of Zhu Sha's hand. Zhu Sha sighed and cursed at this little bastard who only knew beauty, but still got up.

Zhu Sha skillfully put her hand into the backpack before remembering that she handed the two kittens to Qi Hei, Zhu Sha gnawed on her finger in embarrassment, and said coyly: "Then what, Xiao Hei forgot to bring it... ..."

Wu Xie laughed out loud. It was the first time he saw Zhu Sha's twisted look, and Ah Ning smiled helplessly, so he continued to move forward again. This time, he walked into a canyon made of rocks. I couldn't move anymore, so I had to stop and rest.

After resting for a while, Aning looked at his watch and stood up, calling everyone to prepare to continue to set off. They all stood up reflexively, took a deep breath, prepared to cheer up, and continued to shout.

At this moment, several people heard a loud cry from Ah Ning's walkie-talkie.The static sound is very loud, very ear-piercing, and I can't hear what it is.

The surrounding area was terribly quiet, and the sudden sound frightened the four of them to death, and they immediately looked at Aning's walkie-talkie.

Ah Ning was also stunned, and it took several seconds to react, so she hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and listened carefully.

The sound came again, the static harsh, but it was clear that it was someone calling.

"They're nearby!" Wu Xie exclaimed.Aning almost jumped up.

In a terrain like Devil City, the walkie-talkie is almost useless, and the signal can only be received within a very short distance.Aning tried to receive such a signal all the way through debugging, but there was no result. Now the signal suddenly rang, and it was obvious that the other party's walkie-talkie was not far away.

Aning immediately started to tune the frequency, and the voice became clearer, but he still couldn't hear what he was saying.Then she yelled into the walkie-talkie: "I am the team leader, we are searching for you, where are you?"

The answer was a series of unspeakable voices, the interference was very noticeable, but the tone changed, and it was obvious that the other party could hear us.

The frustration just now was swept away, and the team doctor yelled "YES".Wu Xie also took out his walkie-talkie, patted it, and adjusted it to see if it was a problem with the machine. Soon he also adjusted the sound, which was also noisy.

Aning called again, and this time the voice was a little clearer. We tried to listen, hoping to hear what the other party was saying clearly.

Listening, Wu Xie said: "The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie doesn't seem to be talking. The tone of the conversation is very weird and hard to describe. Listen carefully, it seems that a person is sneering viciously."

Zhu Sha slapped Wu Xie on the back of the head: "Don't talk nonsense! You didn't hear the sound. The frequency of this sound is very fast, and the tone is almost flat. It has been ringing for 5 minutes. This frequency should be a mechanical sound. It is possible. It’s because someone is constantly scratching the intercom port with their fingernails, coupled with the sound of static electricity, it’s like this.”

After Zhu Sha finished speaking, she demonstrated a bit, and said to herself in confusion: "Grab the mouth of the walkie-talkie with your fingernails, why would they do that?"

"Why don't you yell so maybe we can hear without the walkie-talkie," the team doctor asked.

Zhu Sha's expression was a little strange: "Because they may be in a situation where they can't speak loudly, or can't speak."

"Quicksand pit! They may be stuck in the quicksand pit!" Tashi opened his eyes wide: "It may have sunk to the point where there is only a head left. In that case, even a fart will sink!"

As soon as Tashi finished speaking, everyone became nervous.Aning remained quite calm at this time, she clapped her hands to tell Wu Xie and the others not to panic: "Calm down, they can send a signal to indicate that they are temporarily safe, and we can receive a signal, which means their walkie-talkie must be nearby. We should be there soon."

Wu Xie said: "But it is said to be nearby, and this neighborhood is also very big. How can I find it?"

Aning asked everyone to follow, and started to walk around with the walkie-talkie, judging the direction of the signal.

In this kind of terrain, to be able to receive radio signals, there must be gap-shaped terrain around which radio waves diffract, and the degree of radio attenuation is closely related to the distance, so we can judge whether we are approaching.

A few people followed immediately, and after walking around, they found that the signal was the loudest in the depths of the canyon. Obviously, the source of the signal was in the canyon.Aning greeted, and the four of them quickly ran inside. At the same time, the flashlight had been thrown away to take a picture, and Tashi shouted: "Be careful where you step, don't patronize looking for it!"

While running and searching, the canyon soon came to an end. In front of us, a huge half-moon-shaped mound appeared blocking the way. It was 50 meters high, like a huge sail, very steep, and it seemed impossible to climb. past.

"It's right here?" Wu Xie and the others broke out in cold sweat, feeling something was wrong, because with a flashlight, the place was clear at a glance, without even a ghost.

"Could it have sunk?" Wu Xie asked

Aning shook his head, because the voice on the walkie-talkie was still ringing.

"They are here." Tashi said, "This half-moon-shaped mound is like a safe haven. They must have been forced in by the strong wind to escape, and there is almost no wind here, so the footprints will stay."

Everyone immediately followed the footprints. The footprints on the sandy ground were very clear. It could be seen that there were three people. We followed the footprints for more than ten meters and came to the root of the mound. The footprints stopped abruptly. .No turning footprints, no quicksand traps.

"Damn. Did you walk into the mound?" Tashi clicked his tongue.

"No!" Zhu Sha raised her head to look at the mound with a puzzled expression. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. "They climbed up."

Everyone was stunned, and looked up, only to see that the backlit mound was pitch black, like a huge mass of pure black black curtain, and the flashlights shot it up, because it was too high, and the small flashlight could not illuminate it at all. Give a whole picture.

Aning told us to back off at this time, then took out the flare gun and fired a shot into the sky.

The scorching flare flew into the air, and after the explosion, the whole area was illuminated as if it were daytime. At that moment, all the surrounding scenes hidden in the shadows appeared.

All five of them turned their gazes around. They were a little uncomfortable with such bright eyes. Before they could see clearly, they heard Aning exclaimed: "My God!"

Everyone squinted their eyes and raised their heads to cast their gazes into the air. Under the light of the signal flares, we saw a huge object embedded in the half-moon-shaped huge hill, half buried in the mound. Half of them are abruptly horizontal in the air.

In the tens of seconds after the signal flare, everyone was stunned. "What is this?" Tashi said to himself.

No one could say what it was, it was the remains of an ancient wooden object, just the remains of something.At first glance, it looks like a huge coffin, but when you look closely, you find that the shape is wrong, and it seems to be the wreckage of a building

"Climb up and have a look!" I didn't know who said it before I realized it.The two of them wanted to climb up the slope, but Wu Xie hurriedly stopped them and said, "Don't mess around, calm down, it's so high, and it's a mound, so you can't climb it just by climbing casually. It would be bad if there were no accidents." gone."

Aning also nodded and said: "Yes, those three people haven't been found yet. We've searched down here and found no clues, so it's very likely that they are up there. There is no movement at all. There must be something wrong. Maybe there is something wrong up here If there is any danger, we have to be careful. Let me go up first to see if it is easier to climb, then you can go up again."

Zhu Sha stopped Aning and said, "Let me go. You watch those two from below and don't let them touch each other. After all, you are their leader."

Ah Ning nodded, but actually Zhu Sha was better than herself.Zhu Sha asked Wu Xie to illuminate himself, and then crawled under the huge object nimbly, found a place to stand firmly, and then used the flashlight to shine on the thing.

Zhu Sha was really stunned on the spot when she saw it. Wu Xie and the others could only see Zhu Sha's movements, but they couldn't see what he showed. They were very anxious, and the team doctor asked, "What is that?"

Zhu Sha replied with some confusion: "This is a fucking ship!"

Zhu Sha was really confused, why the boat appeared here and then said to Aning: "You guys come up, there is no danger."

As soon as Aning finished speaking, he climbed up. Wu Xie moved clumsily and followed Aning.The team doctor was too fat, and slipped down after climbing a few times.Wu Xie told him to stay below, don't mess around, and it would be over after he fell to his death, and then moved closer to Zhu Sha.Zhaxi also moved up in fear. An ancient wreck was inlaid in the mound, only half was exposed, and the other half was deeply inserted into the mound. Judging from the shape, it was indeed an ancient shipwreck.

Aning lit a cold firework and threw it on the sinking ship.At this time, the surrounding area lit up. The disintegration of the shipwreck was so obvious that it almost merged with the mud. The wooden hull was completely broken and charred.There was also a huge crack on one side of the wooden boat, which seemed to be empty, and I could see the mud in it, but the deepest part was dark and hard to see.

This place used to be an ancient river channel. This shipwreck sank in the ancient river channel and was wrapped in mud.Unexpectedly, in the vicissitudes of life, the river in ancient times turned into a Gobi, and the mound surrounding the shipwreck was so much higher than the ground.

Aning climbed to the side of the ancient boat and shone a flashlight on the crack, revealing a lot of mud and things wrapped in the mud.In the mud, you can also see many things like clay pots.

Aning said: "This seems to be a cargo ship going to the Western Regions for trade. These are their goods. This is a shocking discovery. Many people still believe that there is no waterway transportation in the Western Regions."

The team doctor couldn't see anything below, so he yelled anxiously: "What did you see? Are those three people up there?"

Tashi yelled a few times to answer him, but the team doctor couldn't hear what he said again.

Aning took out the walkie-talkie, and as soon as he turned it on, the voice rang out very clearly.She waved it, and the signals were almost the same.Then Zhu Sha pointed to the boat and asked her to try aiming at the ancient boat.Aning stretched over, and as soon as he got close to the crack of the ancient ship, he really heard an extremely clear voice coming from the walkie-talkie.

Tashi looked at the crack and said, "What the hell, did those three idiots crawl into it?"

The crack is very wide, and people can indeed climb into it, but I don't know if the space inside can accommodate them.I took a photo with a flashlight and found that the inside of the boat was very deep, and the innermost part was very dark.I yelled several times, but no one answered.

"How to do?"

"It may be that they went in, but came out again, and then dropped the walkie-talkie inside." Aning said, "It is also possible that they had an accident inside."

"Then how did this sound come from?" Wu Xie asked.

"No one can answer this for you, but you'll know if you go in and have a look." Ah Ning gave Wu Xie a wink, and put down the backpack after speaking, as if to let Wu Xie and her get in to have a look.

Zhu Sha stopped him and said, "I'll go in with Wu Xie, and you will meet me."

Seeing that the calf guard had opened his mouth, Ah Ning gave way without saying anything. Zhu Sha drew out the dagger and held it in his mouth to prevent accidents, so that he could quickly fight back with the knife.After that, the cat waist crawled into the crack first.

After that, Wu Xie also crawled in clumsily. It was a muddy world inside, and the top of his head was covered with dry mud. People couldn't sit up, they could only crawl forward.Originally, there should be a lot of space in this cabin, but now it is basically filled with mud. In fact, the two of them are in a mud hole.

Wu Xie turned on the walkie-talkie, and was clearly making a sneer-like voice.That voice is especially loud here.
