Chapter 26 The last stop

Sand Sea Magic Nest 16

I know the posture of a venomous snake preparing to attack, that is, the snake raises its body, then flicks its head forward, and bites the prey with its fangs. My neck and face are fully exposed to its attack range. It is inevitable to avoid it, and it is too late to block it.

.

I was about to close my eyes and wait for death, when suddenly there was a flash of white light, and the dark valley was illuminated brightly. The strange snake had already pounced on my neck, but was caught by the dazzling white light halfway and was startled.

My shoulders slipped.

All this happened in just one second. I didn't wait for the snake to fall to the ground. I waved the engineer shovel in my hand and smashed it down, smashing the snake's head into a pulp. A lot of black juice flowed out of the broken snake head. I

He hurriedly took a few steps back and secretly screamed "lucky". This snake is extremely venomous. If you are bitten by it, the venom will spread throughout the blood in your body in an instant, and you will definitely die or not.

When I looked up, it turned out that the life-saving white light came from the flash of the camera. She was always inseparable from the camera, taking pictures wherever she went. I never thought that my life was saved by the flash of the camera in her hand. Thank you

I have to ask her to respond quickly, otherwise I, Old Hu, would have gone to see Hu Da by now.

But now is not the time to say thank you. Who knows if there are still the same kind of the two strange snakes in the valley. If anything happens, we should wait until we get out of the mountain pass. So I waved my hand and asked everyone to move forward quickly.

At this time, the camels probably felt that there were no poisonous snakes in front of them, and they all calmed down from their uneasy emotions. Chu Jian, Sa Di Peng and others carried the unconscious Professor Ye Yixin, Chen, and Hao Aiguo's bodies onto the camels' backs.

An Liman whistled to guide the camel team forward, and the group hurried out of the dark valley of Zagrama by the light of cold fireworks and flashlights.

He walked until he reached the open space outside the mountain pass, then stopped and put Hao Aiguo's body on the ground. It was not yet dawn, the stars and the moon had no light, and it was so dark in the moment before dawn. Hao Aiguo still maintained the fear of death.

The expression, the dull eyes behind the glasses have not been closed, and the whole body is green. Under the illumination of the flashlight beam, it adds a bit of sadness and weirdness.

Professor Chen was awakened by the cold wind blowing from the mountain pass. He struggled and threw himself on Hao Aiguo's body and burst into tears. I helped the professor up. There is no resurrection after death. I wanted to persuade him to express his condolences, but the words came to his lips.

Can't tell.

I have been getting along with Hao Aiguo for almost a month. I usually like to jokingly call him Lao Guoguo. I really like his straightforward and fast-talking character. But today, I couldn't help but feel sad when I thought about it. How could I persuade others?

The rest of the people also shed tears sadly. At this time, a dark red gap opened in the distant sky. The sun was finally coming out. We all looked to the east involuntarily.

The light slowly turned into rose color, blood red, and finally turned into thousands of golden lights. The top of the sun's arc was exposed. At this moment, the boundless sand sea seemed to have turned into gold melted in God's furnace.

In this desert like golden lava, a huge city appeared in front of everyone, with countless ruins, various houses and buildings of brick, wood, earth and stone, and countless towers and watchtowers in the city. The most prominent one was a tilted

The old black stone tower stands quietly in the city.

The scene is exactly the same as the black and white photo in my hand. Two thousand years later, the ruins of the ancient city still exist in the deepest part of the desert.

This exquisite city is large enough to accommodate fifty or sixty thousand people. At its peak, famous cities such as Loulan only had ten to twenty thousand residents and an army of more than three thousand.

The city has been largely destroyed and has been buried in the desert for more than a thousand years. It is difficult to tell whether some parts are sand dunes or fortresses. Most of the towers have collapsed and weathered. Even so, one can imagine the grandeur of the city back then.

There is a huge magnetic field here, and it is difficult for tools such as airplanes to fly over it. It is also located in the heart of the desert. It is estimated that few people can find it. I don’t know how many explorers and lost people have come here before us.

The only thing that can be confirmed about this legendary ancient city is that 99% of them will never be able to return to their hometown.

Professor Chen lifted up Hao Aiguo's body lying on the ground, pointed at Jingjue Ancient City tremblingly, and said in a hoarse voice: Look, haven't you always wanted to see this mysterious ancient city? Open your eyes and take a look.

, we finally found it.

I felt bad, the old man was too sad, maybe he was out of his mind. I rushed over and pulled Professor Chen away from Hao Aiguo: Professor, Teacher Hao is gone, let him rest in peace. It's a pity that he didn't see this building in the end.

The miraculously preserved ancient city still depends on you to fulfill his wish. You must cheer up.

I and several students also came to comfort me, so I handed the professor over to them. Feeling sorry for Hao Aiguo's death and grateful to him, I said to him: "I won't say thank you for saving my life just now. I owe it to you."

Your life is only worth one yard. We have reached the end of the world. According to the previous contract, twenty thousand beauties.

As soon as the fat man heard that he had received the money, he quickly came over and added: 20,000 yuan per person, 40,000 US dollars in total, settled in cash.

He rolled his eyes at both of us, bit his lip and said, "Don't worry, I won't lose even a penny of the money. I'll give it to you right after I get back."

I thought to myself that the mention of money just now was really not appropriate. At that time, I felt as if I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. I said the wrong thing without hesitation. It would be better to change the subject quickly, but I didn’t know what to say. I was speechless.

To put it bluntly, he said: That city is not small.

He stared at my face and said: After these days of contact, I see that both of you are very skilled and have extraordinary experience. I didn’t expect you to know money. It seems that my first impression of you is not wrong. I advise you.

In a word, there are many precious things in life besides money.

I had nothing to say, and the fat man said: Miss Yang, you live under the stars and stripes of the United States of America, and your father is a giant on Wall Street. I think you must have never used food stamps for meals, and you must have never experienced food saving when you were a child.

You are living in a famine, so you don’t understand the environment we live in, and you are not qualified to comment on our values. And you don’t educate us one by one about life. The poor have no life, and the poor live just to survive. Anyway, these principles are not the same as those of you rich people.

Even if I say it, you can’t understand it. I really can’t bear it today. If you don’t like to hear it, even if I didn’t say it, we have found Jingjue City now. You can tell me what to do next.

The fat man spoke confidently at first, but then he remembered that it was the shopkeeper's job, and he was worried that he would not pay her if he said she was in a hurry. As the conversation changed, it turned into a coolie's job again.

I said to her: I have tried my best regarding Teacher Hao, I'm sorry.

He nodded to me, ignored the fat man, and took out a water bottle to feed Professor Chen and Ye Yixin. Professor Chen was so excited by Hao Aiguo's death that he gradually got better after drinking some water. After some discussion, everyone decided to give Hao Aiguo some water.

Patriot was buried in the desert of Shankou. His lifelong pursuit was to study the culture of the Western Regions. He was buried here and will always be with this mysterious ancient city. He must have wanted us to do the same.

We dug a deep hole in the yellow sand, rolled up his body with a blanket, and buried it on the spot. Finally, I shoveled an engineer soldier down and inserted it in front of his grave, leaving a tombstone for Hao Aiguo.

The remaining eight people stood in silence in front of Hao Aiguo's grave for a long time before leaving.

The dead are gone, but we still have to save the living. We must go to the city immediately to find water, otherwise the second person buried in the desert will be Ye Yixin, who is suffering from severe dehydration.

Now everyone packed up their equipment and prepared to leave the city. Finally, they arrived at their destination. I hope nothing will go wrong again. If someone has another accident, even if I make the money, how will I be able to spend it.

Seeing that everyone was almost ready, I asked if it was okay to leave.

She was a little excited when she appeared, and her body was shaking slightly, but it was hard to tell whether she was scared, nervous, or excited. She only saw her taking out a cross and praying in a low voice:

The Lord is my shepherd, I will never be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me along quiet rivers. He revives my soul. He guides me in the path of righteousness in his name.

Though I walk in the shadows of Death Valley, I will fear no devil, for You are with me, Your staff and your staff comfort me, and You set my path for me in the face of my enemies.

At the banquet, you anointed my head with oil, making my cup overflowing with blessings. Kindness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will live in the temple of the Lord forever, Amen.

Then he calmly said to us: Let’s go. Book Alliance
