Chapter 69: Fatal air eye

Views:

A Chong led away most of the monitor lizard army. Zi Yang and others ran wildly on the camel. Seeing that there was no monitor lizard following behind him, Alexander called everyone to stop. Just now, he fled without thinking. A lot of materials and equipment were lost, and even the route of travel was not corrected.

The crowd got off the camels, gasping for breath while drinking water.

Su Rui said to Zi Yang with lingering fear: "Who was that person just now? Why did he suddenly appear there? He knew you?"

Zi Yang introduced the relationship between A Chong and himself to Su Rui in three sentences. He only said that it was his own hair. He had met twice in school before, and he did not intend to make the relationship between A Chong and himself. The stories are told to Su Rui, and there is no such time now.

Zi Yang was full of suspicions, why did A Chong appear here? What was painted on the legs of the camels that led away the group of monitor lizards

The old Wang was still in shock at this time. The dust and sweat on his face were mixed with sweat, and he was arched in the soil, not to mention how embarrassed, he stammered: "Well, how can such a huge appear in such a desolate desert? The lizard is so big, isn’t it a prehistoric dinosaur? There is no water or grass, so how can it be raised?"

Su Rui said: "Could it be a genetic mutation caused by radiation?"

Alexander, who is studying GPS with his head down, shook his head and said: "It is not the cause of radiation. I have done investigations in Chernobyl for several years. The irradiated organisms will not undergo such abnormal changes. There is a proper living environment, including necessary water and food. Lop Nur does not have such conditions."

Having said this, he took a deep breath and tapped the map on his hand with his finger, "They must have come into contact with other things to become like this. Thisisthesourceoflife."

Lao Wang didn't understand the last sentence in English, and asked anxiously, "What is it?"

"We are not far from our destination!" Alexander obviously didn't want to explain to him wasting time.

An unknown fire burst into Zi Yang's heart, gasping for breath: "When are you still thinking about your broken expedition plan, is such a big discovery not enough for you to return to China? Would you like to grab a specimen for you? Did you forget the tragic death of James?"

Alexander's expression was also very excited at the moment: "James gave his life for our cause. It is because of his death that this adventure should continue! Otherwise, his sacrifice is meaningless!

I decided that this discovery will be named after James to commemorate his contribution to us! "

Zi Yang laughed angrily: "Stop daydreaming, we will all have to fold in the desert if this continues. I've had enough, so hurry up and take out the satellite phone to contact the rescue."

Alexander rolled his eyes and said: "The satellite phone was lost in the process of fleeing, and there is no way to contact the outside world. Now we have to rely on ourselves."

The old Wang stammered and said: "Nima, hemp, if you don't lose your phone, you can't take a string and hang it around your neck. You, you, you are a scum of inadequate success."

At this time Alexander stopped responding to them, lowered his head and began to count the equipment. Just now Zi Yang and Lao Wang threw away a lot of things in order to stop the monitor lizard.

Timur squatted on the ground and touched his beard without speaking, while Su Rui stood beside him in silence.

This time the team's vitality was badly injured. In addition to James' sacrifice, many equipment and equipment were also lost, and one more camel was missing.

Seeing that Alexander treated his pile of instruments more precious than everyone's life, the old Wang was not angry. Angrily threw a bunch of things on the camel to the ground with a bang. The underground seemed to be responding in general, and there were several muffled rumbling noises.

Everyone looked at each other, what kind of moth is this so special

Alexander's face changed and he yelled badly! Suddenly, there was a loud creak in the ground, and a big hole suddenly cracked on the flat and hard ground just now, and Zi Yang led the camel by the side of the pit and sank.

At the moment of the sudden sinking, two words popped up in Zi Yang's mind: gas eyes! !

In an instant, the gap became bigger and bigger, the mud and sand rushed down like a tide, and the surrounding ground was sinking crazily, as if there was a bottomless hole below it, swallowing everything on the ground.

At the moment of being swallowed, Zi Yang's horrified eyes saw Alexander stop the Lao Wang and Su Rui who were rushing up frantically. No help, Lao Tzu was about to be buried alive, and Zi Yang was waiting in despair to close his eyes.

Suddenly a black figure rose into the sky, Xiao Hei!

Xiao Hei, like a harrier, flew up from the edge of the crack. The man was still in the air. The thirteen-section chain around his waist had already been drawn out, his wrist shook, and the whip entangled Zi Yang's wrist.

With the strength of the leap, Xiao Hei raised his arms and abruptly pulled Zi Yang, whose body was half-buried, close to the foot. At this time, his strength was exhausted, and Xiao Hei also fell into the pit.

The pit in Qi's eyes is still accelerating, and once Xiao Hei falls, the two of them will be swallowed in less than a second.

What a little black, a breath of breath in his chest and abdomen persists. As he falls, his toes are a little on the wall of the pit. With the slight reaction force, he pulls up a little bit and aims at another quicksand with mud and rocks. Hei is lightly tapping again... Between the electric light and flint, Xiao Hei's feet continuously tapped on the wall of the pit, and the quicksand went up and down, and the whole person flew along the wall of the pit.

The people next to him were dumbfounded, and Pharaoh murmured: Fly on the grass! Fly on the grass! !

With the strength of the gallop, Xiao Hei pulled Zi Yang in his hand to prevent him from being buried by quicksand, and the people ran around the pit wall like a dragonfly.

Although Xiao Hei used his superb effort to save Zi Yang from being buried alive, he was on the quicksand after all, and there was no firm focus on his feet. He didn’t know how deep and how long the quicksand would fall, so he could only run twice. People can barely be buried alive, but they can't go one step further. As long as Xiao Hei becomes discouraged, the two are still in danger of being swallowed at any time.

At this time, Su Rui first awoke and shouted, rope! ! !

Quickly ran to the camel and picked up a bundle of climbing rope, ran to the side of the pit and threw a roll of rope into the pit. The little black man reached out and grabbed one end of the rope in mid-air. Su Rui and others saw Xiao Hei grabbing it. The rope, pull the other end of the rope and run back. At this time, Xiao Hei finally exhausted his energy after an incredible period of lifting. He let out a sigh of relief in his abdomen, and his whole body fell into the sand.

Lao Wang and the others ran wildly with the rope, and finally dragged Xiao Hei and Zi Yang out of the pit like pulling a carrot.

Xiao Hei knelt on one knee and kept breathing heavily, Zi Yang lay on the edge of the pit, mouth full of mud and sand, not knowing whether it was tears or sweat in his eyes.

Although it was only a few tens of seconds, Zi Yang had already walked through the ghost gate.

I don’t know how deep this air eye is tens of meters or hundreds of meters, and how big the bottom is. Once a person is buried, thousands of tons of sand fall down, let alone suffocation, the pressure can squeeze the person's chest and abdomen, instantly killing him.

Su Rui firmly fixed the climbing rope in his hand on a solid hard ground. Alexander took a brazing iron from his luggage while inserting it into the ground to test the hardness of the ground, while leaning forward cautiously.

After confirming the safety, the old Wang dragged Zi Yang back. Everyone sat on the ground and panted. Su Rui settled down and took a bottle of water to Zi Yang to drink, and said with a trembling voice: "I heard of quicksand and swamp swallows. People, I didn’t expect this breath to be ten million times stronger than that, and the camel was gone almost instantly."

When Zi Yang did his homework before, he also saw some introductions about the air eye. The air eye is a unique geological structure of Lop Nur. This Lop Nur itself is an arid lake bottom. The surface is a salt crust formed by minerals, which is actually a false surface.

In the late period of the Lop Nur drought, water injection was almost zero, but the climate was abnormally arid. The surface temperature could reach 7,80°C, and the evaporation rate was amazing. A large amount of groundwater at the bottom of the lake was quickly drained, so the geological structure formed was abnormally loose. In some places, huge underground cavities were formed. The surface was just a layer of mineral aggregates, which was very fragile and looked the same as on the ground. The pressure will collapse to form a huge sinkhole.

Alexander touched the sweat on his face and said, "Don't talk about people and camels. Even a truck can be swallowed instantly. If we were not blessed by the gods today, Zi Yang would never have a chance to escape."

Lao Wang rushed forward and grabbed Alexander's collar and shouted, "Say your mother, if it weren't for you and my brothers? Just now you stopped Laozi from saving people!"

Zi Yang shook his hand tiredly and said, "Don't blame him. If he doesn't stop you, everyone will be buried in the eyes of this anger. No matter how powerful Xiao Hei is, he won't be able to hold you dead fat, let alone this bunch of people. "

Although I tried to use a relaxed tone, thinking of the scene just now, I was still terribly scared. If it weren't for Xiao Hei's flying kung fu, Zi Yang would dedicate his life here today-even the bones can't be found. Maybe you will find your own mummy when you excavate archaeology hundreds of years later-maybe you will send it to a museum for research.

After this thrilling scene just now, everyone looked at Xiao Hei with admiration.

At this time, the ground subsidence finally slowly stopped. Where Zi Yang stood just now, a black hole with a diameter of more than ten meters was left behind. At the moment everyone sighed, compared with the monitor lizard army just now, this gaze left a more terrifying psychological shadow.

Zi Yang glanced at Xiao Hei gratefully. Xiao Hei had already mixed his breath and returned to normal. He took a half bottle of water and drank leisurely, his face was calm, and he was not touched by his heroic behavior just now.

Although it escaped another difficulty, Zi Yang's camel was carrying a part of the fresh water supply. At this time, everyone's drinking water became a big problem. Two camels were killed by Smoke Soul two days ago, plus the two lost today, the extra mounts that were originally prepared will only be enough now, and supplies are severely lacking.

At this time, the sky is getting dark and everyone is facing an urgent problem. Where do they go next
