Looking around, we can see that in the vast desert, there are more than a dozen buildings that are somewhat similar to the beacon tower scattered here and there. However, looking at it from this angle, it is difficult to tell whether these buildings are or not. A Feng Shui bureau was formed.
After all, the terrain in the Lop Nur area has undergone earth-shaking changes from ancient times to the present. Perhaps it is just because of the changes in the terrain that the distribution of these beacon towers looks a bit strange.
Although the theory of Feng Shui Bureau was only Ding Laosan's speculation, Bo Xinwen would never let go of any doubts. He walked down from the broken city wall, thinking about something with a solemn expression.
After a while, he turned to Li Qiang and said: "Captain Li, could you please ask your comrade in the military region to send a helicopter over here, take some photos above and send them to us?"
"Let me talk to him first," Li Qiang immediately took out his satellite phone and called his comrade who served as the head of the local military region.
After a while, Li Qiang hung up the phone and said to everyone: "He will make arrangements immediately. The helicopter is expected to arrive in four or five hours. I will report the coordinates of our current location to him first."
Since the helicopter would have to wait several hours before arriving, Bo Xinwen asked everyone to rest and wait inside the beacon tower. After all, it was almost noon, and the temperature in the sand outside was too high to continue. action.
Li Qiang asked Tieniu to take out some food and water from the supply truck and distribute it to everyone, so that everyone could take the opportunity to replenish some energy. In the desert, people are prone to dehydration and nutrient loss, so it is particularly important to replenish water and nutrients in a timely manner.
However, several special operations team members were holding water and food, but they were sitting depressed against the wall, saying nothing, neither eating nor drinking water. Apparently they were still immersed in the grief of losing their close comrades. middle.
Seeing this, Li Qiang picked up a bottle of water, walked out of the beacon tower, came to the sandbag where Lao Wu was buried, unscrewed the bottle cap, poured the entire bottle of water on it, and said slowly: "Brother, drink some Water, don’t be thirsty..."
After the entire bottle of water was poured out, Li Qiang raised his head and said loudly to several special operations team members: "Brothers, I know that everyone feels uncomfortable, and I feel the same way. Lao Wu has been with me through life and death for so many years. , but now..." Li Qiang paused, wiped his slightly red eyes, and continued: "However, if Lao Wu knows something, he definitely doesn't want to see everyone's mood so low. He is looking at us, waiting. We will hunt down all the people in the cult and avenge him,"
Haizi clenched his fists and stood up: "The captain is right. We should cheer up and complete the task. This is the greatest comfort to Lao Wu." As he said this, he took the lead and took a bite of the bread in his hand.
After hearing what Li Qiang and Haizi said, Tieniu and Xiao Cao also started to gnaw on the bread.
Bo Xinwen watched from the side and felt very sad. He knew that these special forces members were the soldiers who had followed Li Qiang through life and death many times and were his most trusted soldiers.
Since they did not ask for instructions from their superiors for this operation, they did not need to participate at all. However, even though they knew clearly that this was a dangerous "unauthorized operation" and they would not receive any commendation even if they completed the task, this Several soldiers followed their captain here without hesitation.
However, now that even the shadow of the cult member has not been seen, Lao Wu has died tragically. No matter who it is, it may be difficult to accept this tragic fact for a while.
The atmosphere in the beacon tower was very depressing because of Lao Wu's death. Even Ding Laosan, who always liked to laugh and laugh, tried to remain silent at this time.
After eating, Bai Yiqing walked out of the beacon tower, pointed to a higher sand dune not far away and said to Yu Fei: "Brother Yu, how about we go there with me and take a look,"
I saw a small square mound on the top of the sand dune. It looked like the remains of an ancient building. And it was so close to the beacon tower. Maybe it had something to do with the beacon tower. .
Yu Fei thought that the helicopter would have to wait a few hours before flying over. At this time, he was idle anyway, so he nodded, grabbed the Dragon Soul Sword, and followed Bai Yiqing towards the sand dune.
When Ding Laosan saw him, he immediately stood up and said, "Brother Yu, wait a minute, I'll go with you too." Ding Laosan was a restless person. Staying in this depressing environment, his heart I have been holding it in for a long time, and now I can find an excuse to go out and get some fresh air.
The three of them walked towards the sand dune.
On the way, Yu Fei asked in confusion: "Has Sister Bai noticed anything unusual on the sand dune?"
Bai Yiqing smiled: "I just thought the atmosphere inside was too sad, so I came out for a walk. And don't you think the mound is a bit strange?"
"What's weird,"
"Logically speaking, the beacon tower should be built at a high place, but the location of the mound is higher than the beacon tower. This is really unreasonable,"
When Yu Fei and Ding Laosan heard this, Bai Yiqing's words made sense. There was a building taller than the beacon tower at such a close distance. What was the purpose of the mound?
The three of them thought about it and couldn't help but speed up their pace.
At this time, it happened to be the time when the sun was at its most fierce. After walking for a while, Yu Fei and Ding Laosan were already sweating profusely, but when they looked at Bai Yiqing, she seemed to be fine.
Ding Laosan couldn't help but said with admiration: "Miss Bai is truly a fox fairy. She can be so leisurely and content even in this desert."
Bai Yiqing smiled: "Haha, Third Master, you have overestimated me. I also rely entirely on the treasure of our Fox clan. Third Master should still remember the Qingling Pearl I took out from the coffin of Empress Wu in Qianling, right?"
"Hehe, of course I remember. Isn't it the treasure that was used by Wu Zetian's old lady as a makeup bead? Could it be that it can also make people feel cool," Ding Laosan asked.
"You will know after you try it," Bai Yiqing said, flicking his hand, and a blue-white spiritual energy immediately emanated from the palm of his hand and sprinkled on Yu Fei and Ding Laosan. The two of them suddenly felt a refreshing and refreshing feeling. Coming here, in this extremely hot desert, this feeling is like entering heaven, extremely comfortable.
"How does it feel," Bai Yiqing said with a smile.
Ding Laosan exclaimed: "This thing is so damn cool, it works better than an air conditioner,"
Yu Fei was also surprised: "Sister Bai, why is this Qingling Pearl so magical?"
Bai Yiqing said proudly: "The Qing Ling Pearl is the most precious treasure of our Fox Clan. It is a sacred object left by a senior Fox Clan who has attained enlightenment and ascended to the God Realm. It is a water-based thing, and it can resurrect dry vegetation." , it can also keep people young and childlike forever,”
