Chapter 288 Xanadu
The professional team was moving silently towards the north.
Since these wild horses have not been domesticated and do not have saddles and bridles, I cannot ride on the bareback horse and go far away. I can only chase behind these wild horses and follow their footsteps.
Four legs are faster than two legs. From this, it is inferred that fourteen legs are faster than twelve legs riding horses. Our combination of three horses and one person is definitely the fastest plan!
I'm simply a logic treasure!
During this trip, I took out the wild herb that was about to dry out in advance and placed it in front of the nose of the Shamatt wild horse, indicating that I would go to find this thing this time.
Anyway, the current positioning of these wild horses is Wang Jiang, who is in charge of guarding the house and holding slippers for me.
The wild horses sniffed and walked around. After they were tamed, they no longer resisted. Three horses lined up and let me load the goods and took me to the distance where I was unknown to the destination.
But this road is far beyond my imagination.
Walking north along the dirt road at the door of my house, I only saw the sparse dragon blood trees on the roadside, the thriving cactus, and the lifeless dead grass that was lodging on the ground. The monotonous scene on the roadside made me drowsy. Inadvertently, the huge satellite with scarlet pupils had jumped out of the horizontal plane and slowly shone on the vast land.
As we continued walking, the ground along the way became more and more uneven, and many hills quietly raised, exposing the ridges of rocks and strange rocks, like rough scars that lie across the ancient giants, would neither continue to deteriorate nor heal.
The terrain here has entered the large hilly area, and the environment has gradually become more complicated. I found a lot of acacia trees from the foot of the mountain and collected some wood for temporary needs on the road. The rest are prepared to be collected on the return trip to reduce the load on the trip.
I thought this was just an ordinary exploration, without having too much expectations, and I also thought it was impossible to find any resources so easily.
This dirt road, which is suspected to be a business road, travels through the cut hills. We slowly embarked on a not-so-flat uphill road, which seemed to never end.
The wild horses took me along the desolate mountain road. After staggering alone for a long time, they paused slightly after crossing a mountain.
I was burying my head in the mountain climbing the butt of the wild horse in front of me before stopping. When I looked up, I saw an unexpected scene that made me feel turbulent.
…………
On the dim moonlit night, a shadow covering the sky appeared in my vision!
The black shadow was like the unclean tune in the concerto, and it was like a low sound played on this land, covering up an uninhabited valley. It was too large and too depressing. Looking up, it was hard to tell whether the shadow was collapsing towards the ground.
I held the bow and arrow tightly, looked at the black shadow in front of me, and then I slowly adapted to this shadow that was even more gloomy than the night. I could tell from the red light in the sky that this was a huge artificial building...
This surprised me unrelentingly!
Why is there such a majestic building in this wild valley?
Judging from the familiar shapes and antennas, this is a giant metal rack that is dozens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide, covered with dense grids, and people are as small as dust in front of it...
This is clearly an abandoned radar station!
The huge radar is dead, and the broken frame is covered with cracks and corrosion marks of impact. It is probably abandoned decades ago and dies silently with the silent wilderness.
The wild horses watched this scene calmly. For them, seeing this majestic building would not surprise them more than a tree with fruits.
This made me feel lonely suddenly, because only I could feel the important meaning behind this building.
After descending along the ridge, we walked on an extremely chaotic path. It was a long wall piled up by various discarded household debris, just like a miniature mountain range!
What is even more strange is that in this valley, unknown trees are everywhere and weeds are overgrown, which is completely opposite to the desolation of the outside world. It seems to be a fable that glory and dreams, survival or death are just a line of separation in front of nature.
After passing through a small wood, a stair stand appeared in front of me. It turned out that the field I walked through was a flat cement square, but it was abandoned for some time. This lonely and glorious place was full of fallen leaves, the materials of the roofs on both sides had long since corrupted and disappeared, several street lights, outdoor machinery, and the oil paints on the surface were dejectedly mottled, and the exposed wires could only rotate slightly with the wind.
The road we were walking also turned into a broken asphalt pavement, turning deeper into the valley and darker shadows as a fork.
Even if it is covered with waste, there is no need for incinerators here, because the silicic acid cement in urban buildings, streets and ports has been weathered into sand, steel, and profiles have been rusted and turned into metal slag. The low buildings under the shadows are like shrubs that are imprisoned under giant trees. The architectural style has a kind of depression and humility, and they are willing to hide in the vastness and become a foil for greatness.
There is no doubt that this was once a radar base! It has huge radars, complete ground equipment, and the living and activity areas of staff, and maintains the normal operation of a huge system.
I knocked on the walls of the roadside building and could be seen as being cut and pieced together by limestone. It was durable and easy to obtain. Even when facing the erosion of the river of time, it still maintained a desolate and unyielding appearance.
Unfortunately, the houses were already empty. I don’t know if they were evacuated together when they were evacuated or were plundered by later scavengers. However, there was no remains of corpses in these houses, and it was impossible to tell why the place was abandoned back then.
The wild horses were leading their heads in front, and the Shamatt wild horse found that I stopped, so they walked back two steps and bit the corner of my clothes with their teeth, signaling me to walk with it.
I threw down the building fragments in my hand and walked deeper together. I saw a huge hole, which was open to the ground like a huge mouth of an abyss. The ground collapsed into a spacious ramp, extending continuously. The closer I got to the hollow of the ground, the more obvious the wet air became. It whistled out of this hole and stuck to the exposed skin, allowing the long-dried skin to be nourished by moisture.
“Is there water here?”
I am secretly glad that today's decision is, is it an unknown mountain base? If there is water and trees, it is a natural treasure land, which can be called a paradise!
The deep pit in front of me seemed to extend to the ground. Apart from the water vapor, there was no trace of the water flow, and the opening of the hole slowly narrowed.
