As Ning Zhe said, this Gobi Desert, known as the Land of Bones, is very dangerous. The transportation teams that usually go to the fortress here would rather take a detour through the desert than travel here.

It is precisely because of the inaccessibility of people that the roads in the Gobi are not easy to walk. Most of them are full of potholes. However, there are flat patches of ground on some highlands. Those are the roads left over from the old world, but now most of them are bumpy.

Some of them have been buried deep underground, and only a small part was squeezed out by the movement of the earth's crust. It is said that there are many such old world ruins in this world, and there are also professional treasure hunters who make a living from them, but Ning Zhe has not seen them.

Are there any ruins near Fortress No. 87?

The convoy traveled about ten kilometers in the Gobi desert and finally stopped under a bridge.

The bridge in front is a broken bridge. The bottom seems to grow out of the ground. It spreads diagonally to a height of twenty meters in the air, and then stops abruptly. The lower row of piers supporting the bridge deck is at least two meters in diameter.

, the people inside the fortress did not take it seriously, but Ning Zhe and Fatty Li were deeply shocked.

The afterglow of the setting sun leaves a touch of orange-red on the distant horizon, lighting up the scaly sunset glow on the horizon.

While the vehicle was being refueled and prepared, Gao Shengrong also got out of the off-road vehicle with a film camera. With a smile on his face, he said to Pei Xiangtong: "After living in the fortress for so many years, I didn't expect that there are people outside.

Such a beautiful scenery, it’s so beautiful! Schoolgirl, the scene here is so romantic, why don’t I take a photo for you!”

"Romantic? Didn't you see those refugees who fled yesterday? I really don't think there is anything romantic about such a desolate place." Pei Xiangtong looked at the wind and sand in the distance, without feeling anything moved.

"Oh, just take a picture. No one in the fortress has ever seen this kind of scenery. I guarantee you that after you take this picture back, you will definitely be envied by many people." Gao Shengrong continued to chatter.

"I left the fortress to do research, not to travel." Pei Xiangtong refused again and began to dig up a dead weed in the distance with Professor Xie.

At the same time, Ye Peng also walked up to Ning Zhe and looked at him coldly: "We have been marching in the Gobi for a long time, but we have not found any trace of wolf dung again. Are you sure that you are in the right direction?

?”

"I told you before entering the next door. I am not familiar with the terrain here. I can only rely on some common sense to judge. Wolves are very cautious animals. When traveling, they must go against the wind. This can prevent

There are other wild beasts on the unknown road ahead that have discovered their traces. As for whether we can find them, it all depends on luck." Ning Zhe glanced at the setting sun in the distance that was about to sink into the horizon, and continued: "Most of the wild beasts in the wilderness are

It’s nocturnal and it’s dangerous once night falls, so we can’t continue walking and have to find a place to camp!”

"Well, that makes sense!" Ye Peng glanced around, then pointed at the broken bridge rising from the ground behind him and said, "Tonight, we will camp on the bridge, and you people, stay under the bridge!"

"What do you mean? You want us to be used as bait?" After listening to Ye Peng's words, Tu Shi took a step forward with a gloomy face. The broken bridge next to them was more than ten meters high, and there was only one entrance and exit. At this moment, Ye Peng

Letting them live under the bridge is clearly exposing them to danger and preparing them to be used as shields.

When Ning Zhe heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. This group of fortress people actually allowed them, the refugees, to use their lives as bait to act as an alarm and outpost against danger.

"What else? A group of untouchables, do you still want to rest with us?" Ye Peng did not deny Tu Shi's words, and said coldly to the other soldiers: "Remove all the steering wheels of several cars and go to the bridge.

Set up camp!”

"yes!"

Several soldiers agreed and started to go to the car to get busy. At the same time, Gao Shengrong also ran to Ye Peng: "Captain Ye, I suggest you arrange a few people to stay on duty at night to keep an eye on these refugees to prevent them from stealing from us on the bridge.

I heard that these people’s hands and feet are not clean!”

"Well, that makes sense. Then tonight, you can keep vigil." Ye Peng patted Gao Shengrong's arm and took two soldiers to the bridge to survey the terrain. Gao Shengrong was stunned for a long time and gave himself a gentle blow.

A slap in the face, a secret curse of bad luck.

A group of mercenaries quickly moved various materials and began to prepare to set up camp on the bridge. Ren Jiao and Tu Shi found a sheltered position under the bridge to dig a hole.

Just when the two of them were about to finish, Ning Zhe walked up to them and said, "You chose the wrong location. This is downwind. If any wild beasts are attracted by the smell of food on the bridge, they must be coming from the downwind direction."

Yes, so you should go to the other side of the bridge. In this way, although the wind is stronger, you can avoid the route the animals take when they attack!"

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" After listening to Lu Ningzhe's words, Ren Jiao felt a hint of anger on her face. The Gobi Desert was no better than the desert. Digging such a big hole took a lot of energy from both of them.

"Ren Jiao, forget it, Brother Ning is willing to remind us, it's only out of kindness!" Tu Shi smiled honestly and climbed up from the pit: "Let's go dig another one while it's still dark."

"Then you don't want this hole, right?" Ning Zhe jumped into the hole and waved his hand to Fatty Li: "Fatty, bring our things over here!"

"Hey! Here we come!" Fatty Li ran over with two packages in his arms.

"Boy! Didn't you say that a wild beast would be discovered here?" Ren Jiao asked with her eyes wide open when she saw Ning Zhe's actions.

"Yes, you will indeed be discovered here, but even if we really live upwind, the beasts will not be able to escape when they come. They have a keen sense of smell, but their eyes are not blind! If you really wait to be attracted, you can still not see the bridge.

Is there anyone down there?" Ning Zhe sniffed, looked at the pothole, and said to Fatty Li: "I'm not very satisfied with this pothole, we both have to continue to modify it!"

Massacre: "???"

"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Ren Jiao was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly exploded and reached out to touch her lower back.

"Xiaojiao! Forget it! Don't be so impulsive!" Tu Shi hugged Ren Jiao and pulled her away forcefully.

…

It was night soon, and apart from the ghostly whistling of the wind on the Gobi Desert, it was pitch dark under the bridge. On the bridge, the bonfire lit by the scientific expedition team was lit, and the red light complemented the Milky Way in the sky.

Ning Zhe and the others' residence was to dig a hole in the ground, then use branches to prop up the hole and cover it with rainproof fabric, which could resist wind and provide simple heat preservation.

At this moment, behind a big rock thirty meters away from the pothole, Ning Zhe and Fatty Li were looking for a place to poop. After Fatty Li found a slightly flat ground, he waved to Ning Zhe: "Brother Zhe.

, come here, there is a pit in the ground here, which happens to be a natural toilet!"

"Tap!"

Ning Zhe heard the sound and rushed over. When he saw the marks on the ground, he was stunned.
Chapter completed!
