On the dusty road, a large truck rolled up a yellow dragon and was speeding along.
In the back compartment, Shirley Yang was looking at the map, while Hao Shuai and the other three were dozing off against the compartment with nothing to do.
Professor Chen and the others were studying the stones that Hao Shuai took out from the nine-story demon tower with great interest.
For the Kunlun Glacier group, because of Hao Shuai, Professor Chen and the others were not exhausted as in the plot, and no one died. As a result, after resting for a night at the military station, they packed their bags and set off again.
…
"Mr. Hu, wake up!" At this time, Shirley Yang came to Hu Bayi with a map and woke up Hu Bayi who was sleeping. Hao Shuai and Fatty Wang also woke up.
Seeing that Hu Bayi was awake, Shirley Yang continued: "Mr. Hu, according to the previous plan, we plan to start from Bosten Lake, go south to find the ancient Kongque River channel, follow the river channel into the depths of the desert, and search for the ancient city of Jingjue along the way.
Relics, what do you think?"
Hu Bayi took the map, looked at it, and said, "I don't have any objections to the plan, but I want to be fully prepared before entering the desert."
"Mr. Hu, according to the notes, if you want to find the ancient city of Jingjue, you can only find it during the windy season. It happens to be the windy season now. If you don't hurry up, it will be too late by then." Shirley Yang explained.
"Comrade Xiao Hu, what do you think about this?" Professor Chen also stopped studying the cultural relics and asked.
"I think no matter how rushed we are, we should find a guide who is familiar with the local conditions and has rich experience in and out of the desert to lead us. Sometimes experience is more reliable than knowledge in books." Hu Bayi demanded.
"I agree with your point of view, but in terms of time~~~" Shirley Yang said worriedly.
Before Shirley Yang finished speaking, Hu Bayi interrupted her directly and said: "There is another very important point. I hope that everyone will follow the command in the following actions."
Speaking of this, Hu Ba glanced at Sa Di Peng, making him blush a little.
"You have all experienced how dangerous it was in the glacier this time. Although the danger was saved with the help of the magic stick, the magic stick is only one person after all, and he cannot protect everyone."
Hu Bayi's words made the archaeological team look at each other, and the atmosphere became a little dull for a while.
At this time, Hao Shuai wanted to say don't worry, even if you are trying to commit suicide, as long as I want to, I will still have no problem protecting you.
Of course, this was just what Hao Shuai was thinking in his mind, and he was not so stupid to say it. Otherwise, Professor Chen really doesn't know what he would have done.
Although he takes people's money and helps them out of trouble, Hao Shuai really has no intention of becoming an all-around nanny.
If Professor Chen and the others can enter the desert vertically and exit the desert vertically, Hao Shuai will have completed his mission.
"Brother Hu, before setting off, Professor Chen has already told us about the dangers, but for the sake of archeology, we will not take pictures of dangers~~" Chu Jianzhen said.
"Yes, in order to explore the exquisite culture, we are already prepared to face danger." Weak chicken Ye Yixin added.
"I'm afraid that even if you die yourself, you will also seek death and harm others!" Fatty Wang looked at the confident archaeological team and stabbed him abruptly.
…
After a bumpy journey, Hao Shuai and his party arrived at the small town closest to the desert. Further on, they reached the Taklimakan Desert, the second largest mobile desert in the world.
After showing their work certificates and letters of introduction, Hao Shuai and his party moved into the guest house. Then they were divided into two teams. Hao Aiguo took the students to prepare supplies, and Hu Bayi took Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang to find them.
Experienced guide.
As for Hao Shuai, he said he was asking around town to get information, but in fact he was just lazy and wandering around.
Hu Bayi and the others also knew about Hao Shuai's lazy behavior, but no one objected. After all, Hao Shuai was the savior of everyone present.
After Hao Shuai returned to the guest house after wandering around a small town full of Western style, everyone came back. Hu Bayi and the others also found the living desert map of Anliman as a guide based on the information.
Hao Shuai was very relieved to have An Liman as his guide. Although he was a little greedy for money and a little afraid of death, his desert experience was really nothing to say.
Time flies and the day of departure arrives. Early in the morning, everyone is sorting out all the supplies and preparing to set off.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Comrade Hao Aiguo came out again. I don't know where he heard the news. He said that An Liman had a moral problem and was worried that An Liman would kill them in the desert for money or kill them.
Lost in the desert.
"Professor Hao, I understand your worries, but do you think there is a magician who can kill people for money?" Hu Bayi glanced at Hao Shuai, who was leisurely drinking soda.
Hao Aiguo also reacted at this time. Thinking of Hao Shuai's single-handed killing of the prehistoric king salamander, he knew that his worries were in vain, but he still said: "What if he abandons us and runs back by himself? I heard
Yes, he has a criminal record."
"Are you talking about the last time An Liman took several foreigners into the desert, and only he came out in the end?" At this time, Hao Shuai also came over.
"That's right, people in the town say that An Liman harmed those foreigners." Professor Hao said.
"Professor Hao, we all know this. Fatty and I will keep an eye on him," Hu Bayi promised.
"How can such a thing happen~" Hao Jianguo was about to say something, but was interrupted by Hao Shuai, who said: "This is easy, just let An Liman talk about the situation at that time."
After saying that, Hao Shuai called An Liman and said, "An Liman, look into my eyes and tell me why you left those foreigners and ran out on your own?"
An Liman, who was called over, didn't understand what was going on. After seeing Hao Shuai's eyes, he became confused and said: "That group of people are a group of tomb robbers. They dig graves as soon as they enter the desert.
They forced me at gunpoint to find the ancient city of Jingjue, so I took a chance and ran back alone, leaving them in the desert."
"What? Have any tomb robbers been here?" An Liman's words immediately made Professor Chen stare.
What do archaeologists hate most?
Tomb robbers who are motivated by profit and only destroy cultural relics but do not protect them are the first ones.
Seeing Professor Chen's attitude of wanting to go into the desert and fight the tomb robbers immediately, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang looked at each other with a guilty conscience.
Only Hao Shuai looked calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.
In Hao Shuai's heart, he is not a tomb robber at all, but can only be regarded as a porter of wealth, carrying things buried underground to help those who need it more.
This is simply a matter of immeasurable merit.
Hearing that some foreign tomb robbers had already gone to find the ancient city of Jingjue, Shirley Yang couldn't wait any longer, and she couldn't care about An Liman's moral issues at this time. She urged: "Everyone, get ready and set off immediately.
"
"Yes, yes, yes, everyone, hurry up and set off." Under Professor Chen's urging, the archaeological team members quickly loaded the materials onto the camels' backs.
"Hey~ What's wrong with me?" An Liman also woke up at this time, looked at the people walking in a hurry, and asked curiously.
"It's okay. They are in a hurry to enter the desert. Go and prepare! We will set off immediately." Hao Shuai patted his shoulder, turned and left.
After everything was ready, their team of ten people officially entered the desert.
