Chapter 159: Seeing the Sun Again

Half an hour later, Lin Jianxue led all the members of the exploration team to the location of Wan Yi and Wang Xiaoshan. After getting off the bus, Lin Jianxue asked with a cold face and what was wrong with Wang Xiaoshan.

"Captain Lin, look over there." Wang Xiaoshan reached out and pointed in a direction to the left. Lin Jianxue raised his high-power telescope and looked over there, but this glance made his expression suddenly become serious.

“When did you find it?”

"Just just now, Xiao Wan discovered it first from the level." Wang Xiaoshan replied.

Lin Jianxue pursed his lips and said nothing. At this time, Zhang Liyun, who was beside him, also held up the telescope and looked over there. After looking for a long time, he said, "Old Lin, let's go and have a look first."

Nodding silently, Lin Jianxue decided to lead the team to see the situation in person. The target was about 3 kilometers away from their location. Moreover, judging from the undulating shape of the sand dunes in the distance, there was probably quicksand there. It was very unsafe to go there recklessly. Lin Jianxue was the exploration team leader and had the richest experience, so he decided to take Wang Xiaoshan alone to take a look.

"Captain Lin, I'm going too." Just as Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan were ready, Wan Yi suddenly made a request.

"What are you doing? Don't make trouble, stay here with everyone." Wang Xiaoshan stopped talking without thinking.

Wan Yi hesitated for a while, but still insisted: "Captain Lin, Brother Wang, I am here for an internship, and I discovered the situation there first. I know you are worried about my safety, but I am not a waste. Don't worry, I will follow your footprints and will never run around. I just want to take this opportunity to exercise myself."

"Xiao Wan, you..." Zhang Liyun felt that it was too dangerous and was about to persuade him, but Lin Jianxue looked up and stopped him and said. Lin Jianxue looked at Wan Yi and thought for a while and said, "I can promise to take you there, but the words are ahead, and all actions are obeyed, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Wan Yi didn't expect Lin Jian to agree to his request, and was overjoyed.

Zhang Liyun was a little confused about Lin Jianxue's decision. But Lin Jianxue whispered that "people who engage in geological exploration have never grown up in greenhouses", and Zhang Liyun stopped persuading him. Indeed, who has never encountered danger at work for exploration team members like them? If they are just doing ordinary research, Wan Yi would not have to come to the team to suffer with everyone. Moreover, everyone's performance these days is full of tears. Letting him exercise properly is also part of the internship. More importantly, Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan are both old exploration team members with extremely rich experience. It should be fine if they take care of Wan Yi in front of them.

Lin Jianxue's judgment was correct. After walking about 2 kilometers there, they found signs of quicksand. With rich experience, Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan, who were exploring the path ahead, could easily bypass a quicksand area and continue to move towards the target. But after walking about a few hundred meters, Lin Jianxue stopped and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong with Team Lin?"

"Don't you think this quicksand is a bit strange."

"Strange?" Wang Xiaoshan subconsciously looked back at the area he had passed by, and was stunned: "Hey, don't say it. I didn't pay attention just now, and I felt a little strange when you mentioned it like this."

"Strange. Why is it strange?" Wan Yi, who was following behind, couldn't help but ask.

It is difficult to explain this problem in a complex way. Simply put, there are several factors in the formation of quicksand in the desert. The common one is dry underground rivers or buildings covered by deserts, etc., which leads to a region covered by sand on the upper floor. When gravity and buoyancy reach a equilibrium state, quicksand is formed. The other is the quicksand area formed by the original position of the dunes being pushed forward by the wind. Especially the dunes are pushed forward without blocking in front, which is easy to cause the formation of quicksand.

However, although the area where they are now in is likely to be formed, this quicksand is not formed in terms of size and shape, including the location of nearby sand dunes, etc. This is what makes Lin Jianxue strange.

"Maybe this is a piece of quicksand gradually disappearing. If this explanation is basically reasonable," Wang Xiaoshan said after thinking about it. Lin Jianxue nodded silently. Wang Xiaoshan's explanation can be reasonable from a theoretical point of view. But the problem is that if the quicksand is calculated according to time during the evolution and disappearance, it will be a long process. Judging from the shape, size and surrounding environment of the current quicksand, then its area was very large at the beginning. For such a huge quicksand area, Lin Jianxue, who has worked in the desert for so many years, has never encountered it.

Without considering this issue for the time being, Lin Jianxue asked everyone to pay attention to safety and continue to move towards the target. After a few dozen minutes, they finally arrived near the target. For safety reasons, the three of them did not go directly over, but first determined whether there was quicksand near the target.

Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan were exploring the road, while Wan Yi stood in the original place and looked at the target that was only nearly a hundred meters. At this distance, he could clearly see that this was an old-fashioned 212 military jeep. The canvas on the jeep had long been broken into pieces. The whole car was tilted at a strange angle of 120 degrees. Four tires with only a layer of rubber were obliquely facing upwards. One-fifth of the car's body was buried in the sand. Not far from the car, about 50 meters, a human-shaped object was lying on the sand in a strange posture. Although it was impossible to see the appearance clearly, it could be vaguely identified by the clothes he was wearing that it should be an old-fashioned military uniform.

Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan looked at each other and quickly confirmed that the nearby area was safe. When they returned to Wan Yi's location and were about to call him to go there, Wang Xiaoshan suddenly found that Wan Yi's face suddenly looked very ugly, and he was holding his hands tightly, and his body was even trembling slightly.

"What's wrong with Xiao Wan? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No...it's okay...it's just a little..." Wan Yi shook his head and said.

Wang Xiaoshan sighed and patted his shoulder and said, "It's nothing. It's common for us to work in the desert to meet dead people. OK, don't you think about it. Didn't you just say you want to exercise? Let's go and take a look, and you'll get used to it after this experience the next time."

Wan Yi didn't say anything, and followed Wang Xiaoshan toward the jeep. Soon they arrived at the jeep. They were afraid that Wan Yi would have psychological shock when he looked at the corpse directly, so Wang Xiaoshan went to inspect the corpse. You should know that although the corpse that died in the desert would not rot, the mummy formed after losing the moisture was not so beautiful. As for Wan Yi, he temporarily stayed by Lin Jianxue by the jeep and inspected the remaining items in the car together.

This old 212 jeep that has been placed in the desert for many years seems to be intact on the surface, but in fact it has become an empty shelf inside, and the things inside are gone, leaving only some broken canvas strips and yellow sand everywhere. Lin Jianxue asked Wan Yi to search with him for any noteworthy things, such as some items that can prove the identity of the car and the corpse. But after searching for a while, they found nothing. Just when Wan Yi was extremely disappointed, the corner of his eyes suddenly swept to the sand about one meter away from the car, a corner of his eyes seemed to be exposed.

He quickly stepped forward and bent down. Wan Yi carefully cut out the thing from the sand with both hands. Then he realized that it was a broken book. The cover of the book had long disappeared, and half of the paper was missing. When he opened the book and looked at the content, the handwriting was blurred. When Wan Yi turned to the last page, he saw a signature that could be vaguely identified on the bottom page. He was familiar with this signature since he was a child because it was the three words "Wan Changchun". Seeing the signature, Wan Yi was stunned in the local area like a lightning strike. He held the book in his hand and burst into tears. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
