Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 232 Mysterious Destination

With the cooperation of strange people from all corners of the country, everyone rediscovered the dry ancient river channel and locked its flow direction.

So, everyone continued to advance to the hinterland of the desert along the ancient river.

The scenery on both sides of the ancient river is very strange.

There are dead Populus euphratica forests everywhere, row by row, forming a very weird shape.

Like a north wind blowing.

And some are not sure.

But it looks very spectacular.

I walked for a day and a half.

A large number of stolen ancient tombs began to appear on both sides of the ancient waterway.

Along the way, I also saw a lot of bones, including the bones of ancient people and modern people.

But almost all of them were air-dried.

From a distance, it looks extremely weird.

Broken pottery fragments and scattered copper arrowheads can also be seen outside the ancient tomb.

Several archaeologists didn't feel tired at this time.

Together, they asked to stop and rest one after another, allowing them to dig and research.

However, under such a harsh environment, the minority obeys the majority.

Rejected every time.

Later, Sun Xuewu withdrew from the application.

He wasn't even interested in the tombs and wrecks to begin with.

Zhou Zimo is quite energetic.

It's just that he was glared at by Wei Pingan the first time, and then withered along with his mentor.

There are too many ancient tombs and remnants along the way.

After successive applications have no effect, they can only let it go.

Later, when I saw a lot, I gradually became numb.

Another day or so passed.

In the turning area of ​​an ancient river.

The source of water was found.

The whole team is a whole, collectively took a deep breath.

The puffing breath in my heart just poured out along with the water source.

The spirit does not increase but decreases.

To be honest, several scientific researchers have already been sent out by soldiers because of physical discomfort and coma.

There are also charlatans who want to imitate others.

But there are Chinese medicine doctors in the army, and there are military doctors in the soldiers.

There is no room for a grain of sand in the eye.

In just over a day, a dozen ideological slacks who wanted to speculate were identified one after another.

The result is naturally to kill chickens and monkeys.

A group of people set up camp near the water source.

Wei Pingan came to Ai Mulin's tent.

Get her some cool water and something to eat.

Ai Muzhen took it tacitly and ate it.

In the past two days, others were short of water and food, but Ai Mulin would certainly not be short.

With Wei Pingan by his side, how could he suffer from his own woman?

Not only Wei Ping'an has the Xuanjia of the space attribute, but also An Zhiyong who accompanied him.

It's just that this kind of thing belongs to a small-scale cognition, and a large-scale secret existence.

"It feels like coming out this time is not like looking for someone, but more like looking for something."

Ai Mufeng said something casually.

Only by guarding his own man can Ai Muli express his true inner thoughts without any scruples.

"Stop talking, just do it."

Ai Muzhen rolled his eyes, and took a deep look at Wei Ping'an.

At this moment, she knew that Wei Ping'an must have known something.

But she didn't continue the topic either.

If possible, Wei Pingan would naturally tell her.

Since the point is to stop, it can't be said, can't be said.

Anyway, between the couple, trust is 100%.

With Wei Pingan by his side, Ai Mulin didn't have to figure out everything.

She is very relieved to do the task with Wei Ping'an.

One must know that it has only been more than a year since she went to that "paradise".

If you are confident enough, you are not afraid of anything.

It is the duty of the soldiers to keep vigil at night.

No matter how difficult the environment is, even if the scientific researchers and most of the strange people in the world are exhausted, the soldiers will not be lack of vigilance because of the hinterland of the desert.

Ai Mu stood up.

There was always a crisp clicking sound in her ears.

Make her feel uneasy.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Wei Pingan said without raising his eyelids.

"Old Wei, didn't you hear anything?"

"The temperature difference between day and night in Lop Nur is too great, the thermal expansion and cold contraction are so great that the branches can't bear it, and the sound of the bark being stretched..."

It's not that Ai Muzhen doesn't believe in Wei Pingan's judgment.

It can be seen that the time has come to midnight.

He simply got up and went out to check around, and also took a close look at the clicking sound of the branches.

Sure enough.

Ai Mulin returned to the tent and continued to sleep.

Come late at night.

It's almost three o'clock.

Wei Ping'an suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In the next second, Wei Ping'an's figure on the sleeping mat suddenly disappeared.

Almost at the same time, he appeared on a small sand dune more than 50 meters away.

At this time, he was fully armed, and his whole body was hidden in a make-type all-black armor.

On the mountains in the distance, there is a group of winding teams marching. It is estimated that there are hundreds of people, as if holding torches, walking slowly along the mountains.

Through the imaging of the armor, Wei Pingan saw that those people were abnormal, with solemn expressions, dressed in black clothes, and made no sound while walking.

There were many figures in the distance, but Wei Pingan didn't do anything, just stood there, watching, also silent.

After a while, the tail of the team was about to go around and disappear behind the mountain.

A ray of light came faintly.

Wei Pingan's figure disappeared again and appeared on another sand dune about [-] meters to the east.

He saw a scene that surprised him.

A golden disc slowly hovered over the team.

Wei Ping'an could even faintly hear the faint humming sound.

It looks very much like the legendary UFO.

The teams without shadows under the torches disappeared slowly behind the mountains along with the UFO objects.

It didn't go away, and the UFO object didn't fly away, just like a mirage, it turned from reality to illusion, and finally disappeared.

But through the mecha detection, Wei Pingan did detect the fluctuation of the air when the UFO object was circling in the sky.

If not.

There is no humming sound in the brain.

Yes.

The sound didn't really come through.

It's just the result of Wei Pingan's imagination.

This scene may be real, but without the shadows of those people, it looks very weird.

Or maybe it's a mirage.

Like the kind that some experts come out to 'refute rumors'.

There are magnets buried underground, the magnetic field is chaotic, and the lightning memory function...

Although Wei Pingan knew it was nonsense, he couldn't tell what kind of effect it was.

It seems real and unreal.

He witnessed it all, but he didn't share it with anyone.

the next day.

The team started again.

After a night of rest and adjustment, everyone seemed to have returned to their original spirit.

When water and materials are sufficient, the team's will and behavior of hard work can be easily carried out.

Almost nocturnal march for more than a week.

Everyone finally arrived at their destination.

A gray-haired archaeologist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences cried bitterly while holding a strange, eroded and mottled stone sculpture.

The meaning behind the words is that if you can come here in your lifetime, you can die in peace.

Wei Ping'an was speechless.

come to this place.

It seems to have reached the destination.

It seems that this mission is not to find people, but to find places.

The so-called task of finding Deputy Chief Peng is just a cover-up.

Wei Pingan knew it well.

But he didn't know the real meaning and function of coming here.

Just wait and see.

On the other side, the group of exhausted charlatans immediately got busy.

They have to use their professional skills to open a portal to the underground somewhere.

The researchers on the other side began to rest.

After the portal is dug through, those who are physically strong and energetic will be arranged to go down to investigate and excavate.

Wei Pingan called Zhou Zimo.

"The first batch, you can't go down. Your teacher is not in the right mood today, you take care of him up there. Wait for the results later, and then go down the second batch with your mentor..."

"okay."

Zhou Zimo is also hesitating whether to actively sign up.

He was also worried that it would be inappropriate to leave his mentor here alone without anyone taking care of him.

As for himself, he really wanted to go down and find out.

After all, he is just a fledgling young man.

But he had to listen to what his brother-in-law said.

It happened to be a passive choice.

Wei Pingan watched with cold eyes, Sun Xuewu is such a thief.

He has other important responsibilities, so naturally he would not rashly go to such a strange underground place.

So when I came to the place, I suddenly felt listless and unwell, which is justified.

After all, I am old.

There are plenty of reasons to be full.

After half a day.

Underground passages were dug.

The task that Ai Muli and others received was to guard the door and prevent it from spreading.

Therefore, as soon as the portal was dug open, he took over the defense and guard work there.

The sudden appearance of a dozen fully armed fighters in black mechs made everyone around feel deeply oppressed.

On weekdays, except for a few who wear mechas, the rest are carried on their bodies as backpacks.

Now a dozen pop up out of nowhere.

According to the rotation of the soldiers, there are at least two groups of mech fighters following them.

It made scientific researchers and charlatans feel anxious.

This mission is not easy.

Is this kind of mecha warrior something that people like us can see?
Although the door is open, no one is allowed to enter.

They are all waiting for the next news.

The group of people just used this time to cultivate and adjust their status.

Dark as ink.

A five-member team quietly gathered with the sentinel.

Then, while no one was watching at night, after two of them showed their IDs, they became the first group of people to enter the underground base.

Wei Ping'an was in a tent not far away.

Through the ability of space refraction, I spy on the occurrence of this matter.

There was a serious look on his face.

The one who came quietly and went underground turned out to be Deputy Director Peng who was looking for under the banner.

early morning.

The temperature in the desert is still very hot, but it is within the range that everyone can bear.

Wei Pingan walked out of the tent.

Academician Wu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences came over and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Wei, I will trouble you in a while."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"We can go in, the first batch, we will discuss with you..."

Wei Pingan thought for a while.

"That's really embarrassing. I didn't feel well last night. I may need some time to adjust. I won't go down this time."

Academician Wu was taken aback.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, and nodded: "Okay, then you can join us after you rest. The weather in the desert is too bad, and it's inevitable to feel unwell."

As he spoke, Academician Wu shook his head.

Maybe he was thinking in his heart that although Boss Wei looks young, he is still his own age.

There is still a big gap between the outside and the inside.

"Aren't you going down? Is there any danger here?"

Ai Muzhen asked secretly.

"Be careful. I can't say, but it must be difficult."

"Is your body okay? Or, is it really uncomfortable?"

Wei Pingan shook his head.

"I'll go to the tent to have a rest, remember not to let people disturb me."

"Ok."

This time Wei Pingan went to his tent.

He was in the same tent as Academician Wu.

Both of them are considered to be convened by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, although Wei Pingan didn't rest much in this tent.

Academician Wu was accompanied by a student who also looked to be in his thirties, helping him sort out some letters and pen and ink tools.

Come to think of it, I was planning to make a record when I went to investigate.

After greeting them, Wei Pingan pretended to have a headache, and simply lay down on his sleeping mat with his eyes closed.

In fact, the space projection ability has been dispersed, and the position of the portal is always paid attention to.

Came here yesterday, Wei Ping'an launched space projection, but was very surprised.

He can't see the underground environment.

It was as if a wave of energy stopped his prying eyes.

But the system perception clearly reminded him that he could teleport in.

It feels like this single-item shield is just shielding the ability of space, or the prying of spiritual power.

In less than an hour, a mighty team of dozens of people gathered in front of the dug underground hole.

More than 20 soldiers will also follow.

Keep everyone safe.

It did not include the mecha fighters led by Ai Mulin.

Their only role is to guard the door and prevent accidental spread.

As for what spread...

Wei Ping'an had already vaguely guessed it.

On the surface, he will not go down because he wants to avoid suspicion.

After all, he didn't want to fall into a situation where he was not free for a few years and was likely to be studied by others just because he followed him.

However, he had already planned.

He must go down this trip to the ground.

Because the turmoil of the system reminded him again and again.

There will be good harvests below.

Or skills, or points.

No matter what it is, Wei Pingan doesn't want to miss it.

Said it was the first batch to go down.

But after screening and screening, except for a dozen or so older scientific researchers who were really unwell and 2 elderly strangers from the world.

The rest of the people showed a very positive attitude towards exploring this strange space.

It is estimated that in the entire base, that is, Sun Xuewu and Wei Ping'an are pretending to be sick.

A group of people walked in one after another.

The burrow dug yesterday is like the mouth of a huge beast, bottomless.

All the figures of dozens of people were swallowed up.

After Ai Muzhen waited for everyone to go in, the mecha waved its left arm, and a dozen mecha fighters behind him immediately surrounded the cave.

Next, they will implement the final mission instructions.

Without permission, all unstable factors and personnel are no longer allowed to come out.
