The excavation pit got bigger and bigger. In half a day's work, half an acre of land had been dug. The escort team set up pre-prepared scaffoldings to avoid wasting their efforts by burying the excavation pit again when it snowed.

After everyone in the archaeological team got into work, they completely forgot where they were. When the two old men dug up something they were interested in, they even took off their cold-proof gloves and dug out the things in the soil with their bare hands. Their hands turned red from the cold, but they didn't pay any attention.

.

The surroundings were very quiet, with an occasional bird passing by. After noon, the sky became even bluer, bluer than the big cities with dirty air before the great changes. Chu Xiang could not feel anything unusual, and saw nothing going on, and was bored.

Everyone in the escort team was a little relaxed, chatting with each other, not too puzzled.

Yang Zhigang was digging and researching with Tao Gongchi and others. Chu walked around and came to the firepower point where the high school was built.

"Lao Gao, what do you think of this inspection?" Chu Xiang asked, looking at the busy inspection team in front.

"I'm only responsible for the smooth progress of the inspection. I don't know about the rest." Gao Gao Jian obviously understood the reason why Chu Xiang asked this.

"So besides us, is there anyone else coming?" Chu Xiang continued to ask, walking forward.

"Look at the results of Dean Tao and the others." Gao Gao said, following Chu Xiang, obviously not wanting the soldiers to hear the rest of the conversation.

"The area next to it should have been a lake before. I heard that Peng Jiamu disappeared in the saline-alkali land. Is it nearby?" Chu Xiang asked.

"There are many saline-alkali lands in Lop Nur. There used to be rivers and lakes here. I'm not sure. Maybe Dean Tao can give you the answer."

"I heard that the Pisces Jade Pendant was unearthed in an ancient city. There shouldn't be many ancient cities in Lop Nur. Is there only one?"

"You have more questions than I can handle."

"At this time, at this place, if I say there's no inside story, wouldn't you believe it?"

The high school teacher nodded.

"I don't want to do anything. Coming here can only be said to be a coincidence. My purpose is very simple, to let them go back safely."

"You're very good to them." Gao Gao said.

"I also hope that all your people can escape safely."

Chu Xiang's wording was very clever, setting a trap that was not too big or too small.

"This is not a dragon's den or a tiger's den." Gao Gaojian said with a smile, but did not step into the trap.

"Let me tell you one thing, when our group came, many people's identities were fictitious, and the organizers didn't care at all."

Gao Gaojian's face changed slightly, he understood the meaning of Chu Xiang's words.

Why don't you care?

Who cares about cannon fodder.

"The role of Dean Tao and others cannot be ignored," Gao Gao said.

"Perhaps you overestimate their role." Chu Xiang said, which was a heart-wrenching statement.

"I don't even want to waste supplies, what do you think?" Chu Xiang asked again.

Gao Gaojian's face turned gloomy. When he was applying for supplies for everyone in the expedition team, the naughty quartermaster refused. If he hadn't pulled out his gun and wanted to kill the man, he wouldn't have been able to get the supplies.

Thinking of this, Gao Gao Jian's face became even uglier. Tao Gongchi and others were cannon fodder. His Gao Gao Jian ability was much more important than Tao Gongchi.

"Based on my guess, this operation is far more than the scale we saw. We are just vanguard cannon fodder. I believe you can imagine what kind of development will happen next. I won't say any more. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Chu Xiangdao walked towards the ancient city.

The high school stood in the snow and there was no movement for a long time. It took a long time before we returned to the mountain.

"Li Er, come with me." Chu Xiang called as he passed by He Nanfeng.

He Nanfeng, who changed his name to Li Er, followed Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang circled around the ancient city.

"What do you think of this ancient city?" Chu Xiang asked.

Having seen Chu Xiang's methods, He Nanfeng was a little afraid after all. He was afraid that Chu Xiang would be suspicious, so he immediately replied: "This is part of the ancient city of Lop Nur South. It has a high historical status and is of great research value."

"You won't have a long memory if you don't remember it, right?" Chu Xiang said.

"No, boss, what I said is the truth." He Nanfeng explained hurriedly.

"Oh! You mean we are just trying to deceive others and lure the snake out of its hole?" Chu Xiang instantly understood what He Nanfeng meant.

"Boss, I see you thousands of miles away." He Nanfeng said, bowing his head.

"Where is your target?" Chu Xiang asked directly.

"The Gate of Lop Nur." He Nanfeng said without hesitation.

Chu Xiang took out the map, opened it, and asked, "Where is the gate of Lop Nur?"

He Nanfeng clicked on a point on the map. It was not far from where everyone was, only about ten kilometers away.

"Is the Pisces Jade Pendant unearthed here?"

"Boss, you are wrong. The Pisces Jade Pendant is not a jade pendant, but a code name."

"What's the meaning?"

"Pisces Jade Pendant is the code name of an operation. Operation Pisces Jade Pendant. The government obtained an instrument that can perform mirror replication at the gate of Lop Nur." He Nanfeng actually had no intention of hiding anything.

"You've already got it, why are you still here?" Chu Xiang was puzzled.

"I heard that the instrument can only be used at the gate of Lop Nur." He Nanfeng said.

"What does this have to do with you?" Chu Xiang asked calmly.

"Boss, don't you think someone like me wouldn't join in the fun of something like this?" He Nanfeng said, obviously hiding something.

Chu Xiang stopped pursuing it. So much information was enough for him to make a judgment. If he continued to press, He Nanfeng would be giving out misleading information, so he stopped asking.

"Did anyone find anyone special in the escort?" Chu Xiang changed the topic.

"No." He Nanfeng shook his head.

"Okay, you can go back." Chu Xiang said.

He Nanfeng walked away in a hurry.

Chu Xiang frowned. This He Nanfeng was not simple. He took a bronze sword in such good condition in half a day, maybe even less. Now he deliberately guided Chu Xiang to the gate of Lop Nur. Such a conspiracy

Even though it was obviously not something he could control, there must be someone behind He Nanfeng.

Lop Nur Gate, what exactly is this place? Is it a place where nuclear tests are often carried out as Yang Zhigang said? What is the connection between all of this? Is there really an instrument that can replicate images across time and space? Is it really like what is circulated on the Internet?

, the mirror instrument infinitely copied a large number of zombies, so the government conducted nuclear tests in Lop Nur to eliminate those monsters.

Ice and snow covered the entire ancient city. Chu turned around and found nothing special. When he returned to the excavation pit, he couldn't stand the long period of severe cold. Tao Gongchi and other archaeologists had already returned to their tents, and everyone in the escort team also

They all withdrew.

Chu Xiang glanced at the things around him. When he returned to the camp, a group of people were cooking dinner. Two groups of guards and a group of soldiers were on guard around the area. Everyone else was in a warm tent.

It was an uneventful day, and everyone in the escort team was a little bored. The archaeological team was busy cleaning up the excavated treasures in the tent.

After looking at the clear sky, Chu Xiang thought for a moment and turned on the intercom: "Teams 1, 2 and 3 gather, and team 4 prepares dinner to assist the experts."

Soon, eighteen people from three teams gathered in front of Chu Xiang.

Stand at attention, look to the right, look forward, and take a rest.

After the team was formed, Chu Xiang said: "Do you know where this place is? Lop Nur, do you think Lop Nur is very fun, you don't do anything all day long, it's like you are here for a vacation?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Unfortunately, you are wrong. This is not heaven, but hell." Chu Xiang changed his tone and continued: "In order for you to live longer when hell comes, starting from today, you have to do two exercises every day.

Hours of training, if you don’t want to participate you can go cook now.”

Everyone hesitated, and someone asked: "Captain, what danger will there be?"

"The danger of death." Chu Xiang said calmly.

Everyone knew that Chu Xiang's strength was unpredictable, and they had already discovered the snoop when others had no idea at all. The gap was not as big as usual, and his behavior was safe and sophisticated, so he would not have missed the target.

"Captain, Zhao Bing reports." Zhao Bing, the captain of the second team, took a step forward.
