After about twenty minutes, the patrol helicopter told us that about six or seven kilometers further on, there is the end of the ravine. However, the front of the ravine will become narrower and narrower, so we are now
The camping area can be regarded as the most spacious area in the entire valley, and it is probably the most suitable area for camping.
As the sun gradually set in the west, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly. Taking advantage of this moment, Long Yi decided to take some people to the front to investigate. So I, Wen Qingshan, Lao Gui, and Long Jiansheng followed Long Yi one by one.
Then, Li Guo led several special forces members and drove two desert off-road vehicles deep into the ravine.
We only had about two hours of golden time. In order to get back to the camp before it was completely dark, we speeded up the car slightly, but because the road ahead was not easy to walk, and there were still beasts' bones and remains everywhere, so in fact,
The speed of the car cannot be too fast, and it can only be maintained at about 20 kilometers per hour.
As we gradually deepened, the ravine became narrower and narrower. After driving for about half an hour, the vehicle could no longer move forward because the ravine was only two or three meters wide and the terrain was quite rugged. So.
A group of us had to get out of the car and walk inside.
Although the sky was not completely dark at this time, the light inside was quite dim. We had to take out the flashlight, and I found that the temperature inside seemed to be much lower than outside. A cold wind blew,
I couldn't help but shudder.
Not far forward, with the help of a flashlight, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something dark green in front of me. When I got closer, I was surprised to see that it turned out to be a tuft of grass!
Moving forward, we found more and more green grass, and we also found that there were traces of water flowing on the stone walls on both sides of the valley, which surprised everyone. This place is known as "
It is a rare thing to find water and plants in Lop Nur, the "Sea of Death".
Wen Qingshan raised his head and took a look, and immediately understood something, and said: "This place is almost ten meters high from the ground. In addition, the terrain is very narrow, resulting in very short sunshine time every day, which makes the temperature here higher.
It's much lower than other places, and it's not completely affected by the desert climate."
Long Yi looked at the water marks on the stone wall and said, "I think the entrance to the underground cave should be nearby. Let's look carefully."
Everyone's eyes widened and they searched carefully in the ravine.
We soon discovered that there were many large and small cave entrances in the valley, but these cave entrances could not accommodate an adult.
But no matter what, this is enough to prove that there is indeed a cave system under Lop Nur, and there must be an entrance to the underground cave system! Everyone became energetic and started looking for it more seriously.
We walked forward for more than a hundred meters and finally reached the end of the ravine. By this time, the sky had completely darkened. When we raised our eyes, we could see the starry sky.
According to the previous plan, we should return to the camp at this time, but we haven't found the entrance yet. Everyone is a little unwilling, but Long Yi weighed it again and again and decided to return to the base according to the original plan and wait until dawn tomorrow morning to find it again.
The group was about to leave, but the old ghost suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
Everyone turned to look at him, and Long Yi asked: "Senior Old Ghost, what's wrong?"
The old ghost half raised his head, staring at one side of the stone wall about two or three meters above the ground. He frowned and said, "I feel that the wind direction there is abnormal. Maybe the entrance is right there!"
Hearing what he said, everyone was a little surprised, because the old ghost was the shortest, and even us tall people didn't notice anything unusual about the wind direction there. How did he feel it? But everyone knows
The old ghost is not an ordinary person. Since he said so, everyone immediately shined their flashlights there.
After some inspection, we found that if we look at it from the side, there is indeed a rather hidden stone crevice there. And the stone crevice is almost two feet wide, enough for an adult to get through.
It's just that the stone crack is nearly three meters high from the ground, and the stone wall is very steep. It is not easy to climb up. Li Guogang asked several special forces members to use the method of building a human wall to climb up and have a look.
Long Jiansheng, who was standing aside, suddenly stepped forward with an arrow and lightly kicked his feet on the stone wall a few times. Before we could react, he was already standing on the stone crevice.
When Long Yi saw this, he hurriedly shouted to him: "Brother, we have to rush back to the camp. Try if you can squeeze into the crack in the rocks. Come down quickly and come back in the daytime tomorrow."
Long Jiansheng ignored Long Yi. He looked into the stone crevice for a while, then turned around and said coldly: "You guys go back first, I'll go in and investigate!"
After saying that, he immediately flashed and got into the crevices of the rocks.
Long Yi was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and asked blankly: "What does he mean by this? Could it be that he plans to go in alone to investigate!?"
"Although this kid looks like a piece of wood, this is what I like! I'll go in and have a look too! You guys should go back to the camp and stay there!" After the old ghost finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward quickly.
Despite his short stature, he was very light and agile, no worse than Long Jiansheng. He also kicked a few feet on the stone wall and easily jumped up to the stone crevice. Without saying anything, he got in.
.
Long Yi shouted: "Senior Old Ghost!"
But there was no response.
The behavior of Lao Gui and Long Jiansheng was obviously beyond all of our expectations. Long Yi looked at Wen Qingshan and I, and was shocked and speechless for a moment.
After waiting for a moment, Li Guo turned to Long Yi and asked: "What should we do now? Should we go in to support them?"
Before Long Yi could answer, Wen Qingshan said: "Don't worry, senior Lao Gui and Brother Jiansheng are not ordinary people. Although there are many dangers in the cave, I think they must have a way to protect themselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a rustling sound coming from the side. A special operations team member hurriedly took a flashlight to shine. Everyone looked around and were shocked. They saw one that was almost three meters long.
The giant lizard, which is dark brown in color and looks like a crocodile, is crawling towards us quickly.
The special forces member immediately pulled the trigger, and with a crisp gunshot, the bullet hit the monitor lizard's head. The monitor lizard struggled and rolled on the ground a few times, and soon stopped moving. But maybe
A kind of muscle and nerve reflex, its long tail will still swing a few times from time to time.
After waiting for a moment, he saw that the body of the monitor lizard had completely stopped moving. Wen Qingshan boldly walked forward and squatted down next to the body of the monitor lizard. He stared at the monitor lizard and examined it carefully, and then touched it with his hands.
After touching it, he turned around and said: "This kind of monitor lizard is somewhat similar to the Komodo dragon, except that its eyes seem to have completely degenerated. It must be because it stayed in the underground cave for a long time and never saw the light of day.
.”
Long Yi frowned: "So, they rely on their sense of smell to locate their prey?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "That should be the case, so they come out to hunt after dark. In the dark, it is more convenient for them to ambush."
As he was talking, there was another "rustling" sound in front of him. I quickly raised the flashlight and looked at it. I saw two more monitor lizards crawling towards us. I quickly shouted to Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen
!Come back quickly!”
Wen Qingshan naturally saw the two giant lizards. He immediately got up and ran back quickly. Seeing the two giant lizards getting closer and closer to us, Li Guo immediately picked up the automatic rifle in his hand and aimed at the two giant lizards.
The monitor lizard pulled the trigger, and with a burst of gunshots, the two monitor lizards rolled a few times and soon stopped moving.
Long Yi said seriously: "It seems that the monitor lizards in the cave are coming out to look for food one after another. We have to leave here quickly!"
"What about the old ghost senior and that guy?" I asked hurriedly.
"As Mr. Wen said, they are not ordinary people. We can only hope that they are lucky enough to have their own destiny." After Long Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand and made a retreat gesture.
Although I was worried about the safety of Lao Gui and Long Jiansheng, when I thought about it carefully, what Wen Qingshan said was not unreasonable. Lao Gui had been alone for decades, so he had weathered many storms. Since he dared to break in,
There must be a way to protect himself. As for Long Jiansheng, he is even more unfathomable. I believe he will definitely survive.
Thinking of this, I didn't care so much anymore and followed everyone back.
Not long after we walked back, there was a constant "rustling" sound behind us. I turned around and took a flashlight to shine, and I couldn't help but be surprised to see densely packed monitor lizards following us.
Those giant lizards looked clumsy, but their speed was not ordinary. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to us, Li Guo immediately shouted loudly: "Special forces members, hold on to me first! You guys go quickly.
Start the car!"
After receiving the order, several special operations team members immediately turned around without saying a word, picked up their guns, and pulled the triggers together. In an instant, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and the chasing group of monitor lizards were immediately beaten to pieces.
However, those monitor lizards seemed to have no fear at all. The monitor lizard in front was killed, and the monitor lizards from behind came one after another.
Long Yi and Li Guo led several special forces members to retreat while shooting, while Wen Qingshan and I ran all the way, and within a short time we reached the two desert off-road vehicles.
In order to facilitate evacuation, the doors of both cars were unlocked, and the car keys were inserted into the cars but not removed. We got into the two cars separately and quickly started the cars.
