Chapter 26
Murder group
The surroundings of Haizi have calmed down. Looking around, there are endless sand dunes, but the sand here is rare white and white as snow-like. If it weren't for the heat waves coming, Li Cu would probably think he was on the snow-capped mountains.
Wang Meng paddled the raft, and they pulled the sand to the shore. Wu Xie reminded, "Pull the raft up, if Haizi moves again, we will be stupid."
"You said this Haizi is a train here? I got off a few guests at the station and then continued to drive." Li Cu thought very much.
"That's probably a loop, and I don't know how much time it takes to walk around." Wu Xie bent down and scooped up a hand of sand. The extremely hot white sand made him frown slightly: "There is quartz inside, which is the same as the sand outside. But why is it so white?"
“Is there anything special about the white sand?”
"Most of the sand are stones, and white means a lot of calcium." Wu Xie slipped the sand from his hand and said, "I don't remember that there are images of this area in the aerial photos."
"Maybe it's a problem of light, so it's not that obvious in the sky." Li Cu said.
"The aerial camera is not a point-and-shoot camera." Wu Xie said that, and put his hand in mid-air: "And, there is no wind here."
Li Cu did as he did and found that it was true, without any airflow.
At this time, Wang Meng, who was pulling a raft on the side, suddenly shouted: "Boss! Come and see!"
Li Cu and Wu Xie rushed up a sand dune and looked to Haizi. They saw Wang Meng pointing at the sand dune beside him. The sand on the dune was slid away as he dragged the raft, and the entire sand surface collapsed, revealing the things buried in the dune.
Li Cu and Wu Xie ran over, and the raft fell more and more. Soon, the wreckage of a large truck showed a corner from the sand dune. The collapsed part revealed the truck's bucket, filled with the dangerous containers they had found at the bottom of the lake before.
The three men digged the sand hard, and soon a decaying Jiefang truck was exposed from the sand. The rust spots formed in the desert were different from those produced elsewhere. They could clearly see that the truck was corroded by alkaline things, and many things on the iron sheet were a layer of white embroidered ash, which broke and fell as soon as they touched.
"Look, this car must have been anchored here for a long time." Wang Meng said gasping; "And the boss, when we got into the water, we pushed this raft together. If you pull it up, you won't help. I'll pull it alone."
"Observing the environment is more important than pimping." Wu Xie replied: "Things rust very slowly in the desert. According to this degree of corrosion, the truck is estimated to have been here for at least twenty years."
"Not necessarily," Li Cu retorted; "We have learned in class. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, and there will be water vapor at dusk, which will accelerate the corrosion level of objects, not to mention that there is Suwon nearby. The container we saw in Haizi, I guess it fell into the water from here and was taken to the oasis where we rested before by Haizi."
"I didn't expect you to be a good student." Wu Xie was surprised.
Li Cu thought silently in his heart that the reason he remembered so clearly was that the teacher who taught this knowledge at that time had a big breast and was particularly pleasing to the eye in class. He listened to the class with his heart. Later, he changed to an old man, and he was no longer interested in listening.
"No, this kind of car cannot drive here." Wang Meng drove a lot of white sand, revealing the tires that had rotted into cotton wool. "Boss, this is a rubber tire, it has been sunburned."
Wu Xie pointed to the rubber tire and explained to Li Cu: "This kind of tire can only be driven on a flat road. If it is full of sand, it will not be able to drive at all and it will sink into it when it falls."
"In other words, there was once a road here? Under the sand?" Li Cu looked at the white sand full of eyes and shook his head. It was impossible. I wonder if the road that really existed was dug out.
After all, the entire road is under the sand. Even if a small section of the road is dug out, there are continuous sand dunes in front, which is difficult to dig out even if you spend your entire life. What's more, it's a desert here, and sand cannot dig out the pit.
"How can there be a road here?" Wu Xie murmured to himself and said to the two of them. "We are in trouble now, so we might as well dig again to see if we can dig a little more of the car?
When the carriage was exposed, maybe something could be found." So the three of them continued to dig, but after a few digging, a shriveled face suddenly appeared from the sand. Then the sand suddenly fell, and all the sand around the face collapsed, and a completely dry bone was exposed from under the sand.
Li Cu, who had never seen such a scene, was frightened and sweated. Fortunately, he didn't scream during the day, but he didn't dare to get close. He looked at the other two people. Even Wang Meng was in a state that was not much better than Li Cu.
