The desert area in the northwest is now the time for sunset. Several cars are parked near a dead poplar forest. These cars are not good cars, but they are the most suitable pickup trucks on the edge of the desert. There are still several tents not far from the front of the car. Before the tent, a bonfire has just risen. ≥

"Xiao Wan! Xiao Wan! It's time to eat!"

Wu Jun shouted a few times at the sand dune not far away, and soon Wan Yi's figure appeared from the sand dune. Compared with the same year ago, Wan Yi now has no appearance as a white-faced scholar back then. He has long been burned into bronze skin, and his already slightly white clothes. In addition, he has not taken care of for a long time, his somewhat messy hair and beard look almost the same as Lin Jianxue.

Over the past year, Wan Yi has been working with Lin Jianxue's exploration team. In fact, he had completed his internship and obtained a master's degree. According to the school's arrangements, Wan Yi could return to school. Whether he stayed at school as a teacher or went to the office to work in the geology bureau, it was easy for him.

But Wan Yi refused these arrangements and took the initiative to stay, which puzzled the school leaders. The school professors talked to him specifically, but Wan Yi didn't listen to the advice and finally gave up a comfortable and decent job he could have obtained and continued to do this kind of geological exploration work that was blowing wind, rain, sun and sand, and full of dangers.

Wan Yi is now a formal member of Lin Jianxue's geological exploration team. Over the past year, he has traveled almost all nearby areas with the geological exploration team and worked in the desert as many as 6 times. With his outstanding work attitude and enthusiasm, he has won the recognition of Lin Jianxue and other team members.

Today is Wan Yi's seventh desert inspection with the team. The area they inspected is not too far from where he first went with the team. More than a year ago, about 100 kilometers northward, Lin Jianxue's exploration team discovered a 212 military jeep that had been abandoned for more than 30 years. There was also a soldier's body that died unexpectedly.

At the beginning, after discovering the situation, Lin Jianxue quickly reported to his superiors through the radio station. The next afternoon, a professional rescue team came to take over. Afterwards, due to various reasons, Lin Jianxue's exploration team did not stay there for too long. According to the arrangement of the superiors, the scene and the discovery of relics were handed over to the rescue team, and then returned to the supply station according to the booking plan.

They had inquired about the corpses of soldiers and the military 212 jeep afterwards, but in the end there was no definite news. According to the superior's reply, it was just that they were missing people in the army's mission many years ago, but what was the specific situation? Because the bodies and vehicles belonged to the army, the matter was eventually taken over by the army, and they were not very clear about the result.

It has been a long time since the incident. Lin Jianxue, including Wu Jun and others, had long left this matter behind. As geological exploration team members, he worked in the field all year round, especially in harsh environments like the desert. Although such things are rare, they are not without them. Many years ago, Lin Jianxue met travelers' mummies in the desert. The longest mummies are about a hundred years, and the shortest ones are decades. Any danger in the desert may exist. Disappearances and accidents are common, and Lin Jianxue is not surprised. Moreover, he always reports to his superiors according to the procedures, but very few people have real results.

But Lin Jianxue and the others didn't know that Wan Yi had always had a secret in his heart and didn't tell them. In addition, he secretly hid a book with a broken cover in his close-fitting pocket. This book was found in the desert when he met a jeep and a mummy. When the rescue team arrived, Wan Yi did not hand it over, but kept it quietly.

There is a reason for Wan Yi to do this. The reason is very simple, because there is a signature on the bottom page of this book, and this signature is Wan Changchun.

No one knows that Wan Yi is actually Professor Wan Changchun's grandson. Professor Wan Changchun has two daughters and one son. His only son Wan Lin is Wan Yi's father. Back then, when Professor Wan Changchun disappeared, Wan Lin was still very young and was in high school. Unlike Professor Wan Changchun, Wan Lin did not follow the path of scientific research and teaching. After graduating from high school, he did not continue to go to school, but instead devoted himself to the business world and became a businessman.

Wan Lin was doing business just before the reform and opening up. At that time, business was much easier than now. As long as he had the ability and motivation, and with some connections, it was not difficult to get rich. Wan Lin had these factors. After decades of ups and downs in the business world, Wan Lin gradually grew bigger and bigger from the original self-employed, and later became the boss of a large group company with assets of hundreds of millions.

Although he finally chose to do business, in Wan Lin's heart, the admiration for his father when he was a child was indelible. It is precisely for this reason that Wan Yi grew up listening to his father Wan Lin telling him the story of his grandfather Wan Changchun. Compared with his father Wan Lin, grandfather Wan Changchun seemed extremely tall and profound in the young Wan Yi's heart, and even directly affected Wan Yi's growth process. When he graduated from high school, Wan Yi did not follow his father's arrangements to study in business school, but chose geology because he wanted to become a scientist like his grandfather Wan Changchun and make a career in scientific research.

A few years ago, the plane that Wan Lin and his wife took from Southeast Asia disappeared mysteriously. After several months of investigation, it was confirmed that the plane crashed and fell into the sea. Their death left a huge inheritance for their only son Wan Yi, including the well-run company. Wan Yi had two choices at this time. One choice was to drop out of school and take over his father's company and become a businessman. The other choice was to continue studying, fulfill his dream, and become a scientist like his grandfather Wan Changchun. In the end, Wan Yi chose the latter. He entrusted the company to the foundation and manager to run it, continued to stay in school to complete his studies, and passed the postgraduate entrance examination with excellent grades.

When he came to Lin Jianxue's exploration team, Wan Yi was actually a little selfish. Because he knew that his grandfather Wan Changchun was missing in the northwest, he did not choose some famous universities in the south when he was taking the college entrance examination, but instead went all the way to the Northwest University of Geosciences.

During college, Wan Yi was determined to collect information about the disappearance of his grandfather Wan Changchun, but this information was very little, and there was only a few words. During the graduate internship, according to the internship arrangements of the graduate students, Wan Yi did not have to join the exploration team directly for internship. It was also because of this reason that he found Professor Gu and opened the "back door" and obtained this place.

Even Wan Yi himself did not expect that when he followed the exploration team to work in the desert for the first time, he would accidentally discover information about his grandfather. In the desert, Wan Yi first discovered the jeep and the body, and then accidentally dug out a book with his grandfather's name in the desert.

"Did grandpa encounter an accident like that corpse?" This idea lingered in Wan Yi's mind, but he was also lucky, because according to the subsequent search of the rescue team, no other corpse was found judging from the situation of the jeep car left on the scene.

What's more, a book with the name of Wan Changchun does not mean that Wan Changchun must be swallowed by the desert. As long as Wan Changchun's body is not found, a miracle may exist. But Wan Yi himself knew in his heart that this possibility is very slim. Time has passed so long. Even if his grandfather did not encounter such an accident back then, he would have been no longer alive.

With such complicated thoughts, Wan Yi voluntarily stayed with the exploration team. He planned to continue to search for the whereabouts of his grandfather Wan Changchun in the desert through the convenience of the exploration team's work. However, more than a year has passed, and there are still no new discoveries. Today, when camping, Wan Yi specially climbed up the nearby sand dunes with his telescope and looked around, wanting to try his luck.

But after searching for a long time, there was nothing found around except the desert or the desert. Hearing Wu Jun's shouts, Wan Yi calmed down and walked back from the sand dune with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After walking a few steps, Wan Yi's gaze accidentally swept across the eastward direction. Suddenly, he saw a ray of dust rising from there. Wan Yi was stunned and quickly picked up the telescope to look. When he saw clearly what was in the telescope, he was stunned and stood incredibly motionless.
