The man shook his head and said, "How did we come here? We didn't come here, we are here." The man pointed to the sand dune outside the car and said to him, "This place was originally a factory, with many houses and many tents. I don't know why the superiors asked us to come here. It's been too long and I can't remember the details. Thirty years have passed, and I only remember that we were on missions. We are the permanent convoy of this place, responsible for transporting supplies between another factory and here."

"These are trucks, of course I know they are transporting things." Li Cu said.

"It's not that simple, because we are transporting in two directions. Most of the things we transported here from outside factories are supplies of daily necessities, gasoline, and other things, but at most, it's a strange container." That's humane," they are many strange containers, full of rivets. When we transported in, the containers were empty, but when we shipped out, the containers were full and filled with things.

"There is no doubt that the things contained in these containers should be produced in this desert. But I can't ask what the thing is, because when I asked, the person said that this was a top-secret task and we were only responsible for transportation. Each of our cars has a confidentiality specialist. If our car is overturned by someone, the specialist will take out a gun and prevent any common people from approaching here. We must wait until our own people come. We transport things from here every day and transport them continuously.

"Once we shipped a batch of strange containers from here. When we came back again, we found that the factory here was closed. Then we were on standby at our own logistics base, and there was no new task. My intuition told me that something must have happened. Even if we don't transport the goods, our resources and water will be slowly exhausted here, and we always have to go out to transport some resources in. But it was very strange that we didn't receive the task, and we were on standby, and there was no order from the superiors.

"Our cars are an independent car company. Later, our daily supplies were gone. We were sure we had nothing to eat, so we asked our superiors for request. We called the factory, and the person who answered the phone answered the phone and said nothing. We didn't know what to do. Because it was important, would so many of us starve to death here? So we all discussed it together. At that time, it was strange that if we had nothing to eat, what would the people in the factory eat? They didn't see them come out to make any explanations with us, nor did they ask for any supplies. Then our squad leader took us to the factory leader, wanting to find out what happened and couldn't sit and wait for death. When we ran over, we found that we could not find the guards. The factory buildings were intact and the power supply was intact, but there was no guard at the door. We stood at the door for a long time and no one answered the door.

"We drove the fence and entered the factory. It was difficult to build a house in the desert. Usually, cement piers were embedded into the sand little by little, hoping to be fixed in the rock layer. Pilings took a long time to drive, so the factory here was not very high. We ran into the person in charge, and wanted to find someone who usually contacted us, but found that we could not find it. No living person could be found, and the entire factory was empty. Have they already withdrawn, and we don't know?

"But our team of thousands of people is trapped here, with so many eyes, it is impossible for them to go quietly. Moreover, there is no reason not to let us know, and no one will make such a big mistake and forget us here. What makes us feel strange is that we found the dispatch room responsible for contacting us, and after entering, we found that the phones here were completely disconnected. We used the intercom to ask our colleagues to call this place, and found that the phone didn't ring at all. In other words, the phone we made before was not called here, so where did we call? No one knows.

"We searched through the factory and did not find any production equipment, which means that the factory was actually just an empty shell. I was very scared. I found that we seemed to have been cheated, but I didn't know why others deceived us. All the documents here were fake and meaningless, so we returned to our camp. We began to dig the telephone lines under the sand, hoping to find out the direction of these telephone lines. As we dug, we were surprised to find that the telephone lines actually led under the sand dunes.

"The line was going all the way down. No matter how we turned it over, we couldn't find the end of the cable under the dune because it was buried too deep. In other words, the people we contacted before seemed to be contacting us underground. Because we were just a transport convoy, affiliated with this factory, we didn't know who to report this matter to, so we sent telegrams to all the departments we knew. The departments that received the telegrams were strange, and they didn't know. Only one department said we could go to their place to supplement the supplies."

This was their last time to obtain supplies. After the convoy transporting supplies returned, they received the order to stand by on standby. On the third day, all their contacts with the outside world were cut off. They found that they could not communicate with the outside world by telegram, and the telephone line under the sand had no signal. At first they didn't care, after all, they had gasoline and were very familiar with the route. But slowly, they found that many of the sand dunes around were beginning to undergo many strange changes, and the direct consequence of these changes was that many of them suddenly disappeared.

After all, they were in the army. For them, this situation meant a threat and also meant that there were enemies moving nearby. There was no peace nearby. They stepped up patrols and sent people to search for clues.

Soon several reconnaissance teams sent out discovered a very strange phenomenon. They found that the dunes here became different from before. The yellow sand they saw at first began to disappear, and white spots appeared on the dunes. The white spots slowly expanded, as if the yellow nutrients in the entire sand were slowly absorbed by something under the sand. The white spots became larger and larger, and slowly the entire desert turned white. The white sand reflected more sunlight, and their living conditions became worse.

The personnel were still disappearing, and many reconnaissance teams were gone forever. They could not communicate with their superiors, and the teams sent out to contact the outside world and seeking reinforcements did not come back, and the situation became increasingly serious. Several platoon leaders began to discuss and found that everyone was missing in the two periods before sunrise and after dusk. This was like a spell, and many people disappeared in the tent without any notice. They became extremely nervous, and everyone felt that the next one might be themselves.

So, a platoon leader gave an order, and he ordered everyone to connect with ropes when they sleep. That night, three more people disappeared, but this measure made it clear at a glance. While sleeping, the ropes on several soldiers were suddenly pulled hard by some force. When they woke up, they found that the people around them seemed to be dragged into the sand by something, because they were tied to the rope, and they did not completely drag down. This force was very, very strong, which caused the soldiers to be pulled into the sand. They immediately shouted, and the others ran over when they heard the exclamation, and pulled them hard together to pull the people out of the sand. Only then did they realize that something seemed to be hidden in these dunes, and when they were sleeping, they dragged them into the sand.

The rest of the people became more and more nervous. They found that they could not sleep in the tent, so they gathered their cars and slept in the car.

That night, something hit the bottom of the car. They fired guns at the sand before forcing the things back. The platoon leader thought this was too strange. He felt that under such circumstances, everyone should not stay in this place, so he ordered all the staff to retreat.

Just as they were about to retreat, a change that they had unexpectedly come.

The man said to Li Cu: "When our convoy started to refuel and was about to leave, the desert was alive and it didn't want us to leave at all."

"Living?" Li Cu was stunned when he heard it. Although the man's narration was very confusing, he could hear it very clearly.

The man nodded: "The desert is alive, and all the signs indicate that the desert is alive." As he said that, the man pointed to Li Cu's back, "Can you let me see your back, the picture on your back, I want to see if it's the same as what I saw at that time?"

"Same?" Li Cu looked at the man's eyes and felt that there was a kind of power in the man's eyes, which made Li Cu realize that if he agreed to the man's request, he would definitely get a result.
