"Today we are going to Lop Nur, a place known as the 'Sea of Death'."
"The Book of Mountains and Seas calls Lop Nur 'Youze'."
"In Mongolian, Lop Nur means 'a lake where many waters gather'."
"But now, Lop Nur has completely dried up, leaving only endless desert and salt crust."
Ning Fei drove a car with only the little falcon and talked to netizens in the Gobi.
[Guanzhu Ning, why are you going to Lop Nur?]
[Yes, are you going to travel again?]
[There's nothing to see there, just some sand and hard ground.]
Netizens suddenly became curious.
Hearing this, Ning Fei smiled and said:
"There is an expedition team that has made new discoveries in Lop Nur and asked me to join them."
"I thought it was interesting, so I came."
Ning Fei's words made netizens suddenly become excited.
[Expedition team? Is it tomb robbing?]
[Hahaha, Ning Guanzhu, can robbing a tomb be called a tomb robbing? They are all engaged in geological research in a fair and honest manner.]
[Guanzhu Ning, what is this new discovery?]
[Can I say this?]
[Good guy, it turns out there is a treasure. I said, no wonder!]
Everyone was talking about it.
Ning Fei didn't explain much because he didn't know what the specific situation was.
After spending a long time, Ning Fei arrived at a research institute in Lop Nur Town.
Today happens to be the agreed gathering time.
Bai Yuanche's friend, the initiator of this expedition, is a well-known archaeologist in China named Lin Tao.
On this archaeological trip, he took two students with him, as well as two staff members from the scientific research institute.
This archaeological team has been to many places in China and has very rich archaeological experience.
As soon as Ning Fei arrived at the research institute, he was immediately warmly welcomed by everyone.
"Hello, Professor Lin."
Ning Fei was also very polite and greeted Lin Tao with a smile. After all, he was the master's friend and he must be respected.
Lin Tao has half white hair and half black hair. His body looks very strong and his whole person is mentally strong. He does not look aged at all, but full of vigor.
"Hello, Guanzhu Ning, I've been waiting for you to come."
Lin Tao shook hands with him and laughed.
Several other people also looked at Ning Fei, with excitement and admiration in their expressions.
Among the two students Lin Tao brought, one was dark-skinned, wearing a pair of glasses, and looked dull, named Liu Wu.
The other one is a young girl named Xuefang. She has beautiful eyes. She looks a bit like Liu Hao, the new girl in Zhang Mouzi's movie, who appears in the shot. She feels very clean.
The other two were both middle-aged men and seemed to be the backbone of the archaeological team.
Lin Tao introduced the people of the archaeological team to Ning Fei one by one.
Ning Fei discovered that this archaeological team was not simple.
The two middle-aged men were in very good physical condition and had very steady eyes. They looked like masters of exploration.
Although Liu Wu is relatively dull, he has a face with a perfect score in advanced mathematics, and it is obvious at a glance that he is a powerful academic.
Xuefang has almost no makeup on her face, but her body feels relatively strong and does not hold her back.
After several people got to know each other, Lin Tao told Ning Fei the ultimate purpose of the expedition.
"This was discovered by tourists. A group of tourists were crossing the uninhabited land of Lop Nur. They captured a set of strange videos in the car at night."
"you can take a look."
Lin Tao first showed Ning Fei the video.
Ning Fei took the phone and looked at it carefully.
He saw a convoy of tourists traveling on a wide sandy road with high sand dunes on both sides.
At this moment, two human-like black figures suddenly appeared on the sand dunes shaking.
The tourist’s exclamation came from the video:
"Fuck! Fuck! What is that? Look over there!"
The video is a little shaky, but you can still see clearly that the species has hands and can stand upright, just like humans.
Ning Fei's expression became a little serious.
"There are sand lizards, Bactrian camels, yellow sheep, and scorpions in Lop Nur, but there are absolutely no humanoid creatures that walk upright or can stand."
"Could this be another tourist?"
Ning Fei asked.
When Lin Tao heard Ning Fei's words, he nodded and replied:
"You're right. You can see at the end of the video. At that time, the convoy thought that a tourist was lost there, so they stopped specifically to rescue them."
"Two people even climbed up the dune to take a look and saw no trace of human activity."
"On the contrary, some wild animal hairs were found on the dunes."
"These tourists are also smart and report it to the local government immediately with their mobile phones."
"There is a department in China that manages these things. I won't go into details. Your master was very domineering in this department back then and made the previous generation very angry. But he was so capable. Those People can’t do anything to him, they still have to provide for him.”
"Oh, by the way, remember the water monkey you discovered some time ago? We also dealt with it."
Lin Tao seemed very calm when he said this.
The expressions of the two middle-aged men behind him changed slightly.
He probably didn't expect Lin Tao to tell Ning Fei all this.
"Special Department."
Ning Fei thought to himself secretly.
This is normal. There are always many mysterious things. If these things are announced, they will not have a good impact on the outside world.
"Have you studied the hair of the beast? What animal does it belong to?"
Ning Fei asked further.
Lin Tao replied: "Judging from the test results, it belongs to a kind of ape. This kind of creature has never been discovered by humans."
After hearing Lin Tao's words, Ning Fei frowned slightly.
"There are great apes in Lop Nur? This is unrealistic."
"Apes and orangutans all live in the forest, and there must be trees, water sources, and fruits around them."
"Lop Nur is a desert, how could there be great apes?"
Ning Fei asked again.
Lin Tao organized his things and then said slowly:
"That's why we need to find the answer."
"And there's nothing impossible about it."
"More than ten years ago, the Shennongjia savages caused an uproar. Later, it was our department's intervention that gradually calmed down the news."
"I can tell you that we also found something in that place, but there is no need to announce it."
After hearing Lin Tao's words, Ning Fei realized that there might be many things in this world that have not yet been discovered by humans, and these things are often full of mystery.
"A secret expedition team, it seems I can't broadcast it live."
Ning Fei clicked his tongue and said with a sigh.
"No, you can live stream, it's okay this time."
"In fact, if we find an underground city, we will announce it."
"This is an archaeological expedition."
"It seems that you really don't pay much attention to archaeological news."
Lin Tao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ning Fei was a little stunned.
Later, when the live broadcast was turned on, Ning Fei realized that Lin Tao and the other two middle-aged men in front of him were both famous Chinese archaeological masters.
They have discovered many historical relics and cultural relics, been in the news many times, and have a large number of fans online.
"It's a good thing that more fans pay attention to our archaeological career."
"This time you live broadcast, we can take advantage of your traffic."
"However, it is best not to talk about departmental and secret matters."
"Next time there is a mysterious adventure like this, I will call you."
Lin Tao said with a smile again.
This person is very charming, and his words have a very comfortable feeling to them.
Ning Fei nodded, fully understanding Lin Tao's thoughts.
Calling him here this time is not only to help, but also to increase their popularity, so Ning Fei also has to live broadcast.
"Did your master tell you to be careful? I guess he thought this was an adventure like that before."
"Don't worry, it's just an ordinary archaeological activity, so the risk factor shouldn't be high."
Lin Tao said again.
Ning Fei nodded.
He finally understood why Bai Yuanche reminded himself to be careful.
Lin Tao is engaged in both archaeological activities and some mysterious exploration activities.
And those mysterious explorations have certain dangers.
Hearing that there was no danger, Ning Fei sighed instead.
The absence of danger often means boredom.
"Just do whatever you want, maybe there will be some unexpected surprises."
Ning Fei muttered to himself.
Lin Tao and others didn't pay much attention to his words.
However, what they didn't know was that Ning Fei had opened his mouth, and after that, they really encountered an unexpected surprise.
