Blocks of salt lakes were left behind by Harvard h9. Under the clear night sky, they were blocks of green sky mirrors.
Whenever he reached a fork in the road, Luoyang would ask Batu Gal to stop the car, then get out of the car and observe the tire tracks, grab a handful of salt-alkali soil and smell it, confirm the direction, and then get in the car and let Batu Gal follow his instructions.
direction of travel.
Once, Batugar couldn't help but asked: "Brother Luo, is your nose that good?"
"It's okay." Luoyang didn't have any extra explanation.
Batugar said: "When I was a child, my family had a shepherd dog with a very sharp nose. If a wolf wanted to catch a sheep, it could smell the wolf from a few hundred meters away. But even such a powerful shepherd dog can't smell it.
You can't smell anything from the mud marks left by the tires."
Luoyang didn't know how to answer this.
"Well, I don't mean anything else, it's just..." Batugar didn't know how to explain it.
"Brother Batu, how far can this car drive?" Luoyang changed the subject.
Batugar said: "Don't worry, when I refuel, I put two barrels of oil in the barrel for backup, and it can still drive hundreds of kilometers. In addition, I also bought some food at the supermarket at the gas station, including bread.
Do you want some ham sausage or something?"
"No, thank you." Luoyang was not in the mood to eat.
Harvard h9 drove forward for dozens of kilometers, and there was no road. In front of it was a rugged saline-alkali land, and in the distance were rolling hills, some a few meters high, some tens or hundreds of meters high, you can see them everywhere
Gorges and steep rock walls struck by running water.
The traces left by the two tires extended forward and entered the Yadan landform.
Harvard h9 cautiously arrived between two hills, and after driving a few dozen meters further, a Toyota off-road vehicle appeared under a cliff. The right rear wheel was flat and the body was tilted obviously.
Batugar said excitedly: "Brother Luo is so awesome, he really caught up with us!"
"Just stop here and I'll go take a look." Luoyang said.
Batugar stopped the car. He actually wanted to stop the car. This place is not like a saline-alkali land. Salt crystals will make the ground hard, but the ground here is sandy soil. If you are not careful, your car will get stuck.
Luoyang got out of the car and quickly came to the side of the Toyota SUV.
There was no one in the car anymore, and there was a string of footprints extending forward in front of the car.
The driver's cab window was not closed tightly, leaving a gap. Luoyang went to the gap and sniffed, and quickly locked on Ye Zi's scent. Her smell gave him a feeling of intimacy and familiarity. The other two
The smells of people were also locked and matched with the smells on the clothes. One was the smell of the driver Deng Cong, and the other was the smell of the assistant Zhong Lin.
Luoyang came to the front of the car and carefully observed the footprints on the sand.
Luoyang took a closer look and found that they were the footprints of three people mixed together. The larger and deeper ones should be the footprints of the driver Deng Cong, while the shallower and smaller footprints were those of Ye Zi and her assistant Zhong Lin.
Luoyang lay down on the sand, put his nose to the footprints and smelled it. Under the super-sensory state of the ancestral witch spirit body, the faint smell of sand became as strong as fried sauce. Soon, a familiar smell was "
"Take it out", that is Ye Zi's smell.
It was confirmed, not only the traces of Ye Zi, but also the nature of the matter.
Luoyang stood up, took out his cell phone and took a look. There was no signal at all.
Batu Gal came over and said, "Brother Luo, I just checked and there is no signal here, so I can't make a call."
Luoyang said: "Brother Batu, give me some of the water and food in the car. You stay here and wait for me. If I haven't come back in 24 hours, you can make this call."
He opened his contacts and found Hu Bufei's phone number.
"I can't remember, let me take a photo." Batugar took out his mobile phone to take a photo, and said at the same time: "I am making this call, what should I say?"
Luoyang said: "Tell him that Luoyang is in the desert of Qingdi Mangya and Ye Zi is in danger. You ask him to come over and save people."
"Then I have to go back and get to a place with signal before I can make a call. How long should I wait for you here?" Batugar asked.
Luoyang thought for a moment: "Twenty hours, maybe. If I haven't come back by then, you can leave here and make this phone call and tell him what I just told you."
Batugar stepped forward and patted Luoyang on the shoulder, and warned: "Brother Luo, you must not go too far. It is fatal to get lost in the desert. Moreover, this is a salt-alkali desert, and there are large and small underground
If you fall into a small cave, you may not even be able to find the body."
"Cave?" Luoyang suddenly became worried. As far as he was concerned, he would never get lost. Wherever he walked, he could return the same way by relying on the smell. But if Ye Zi accidentally fell into a cave,
Here, if he loses Ye Zi's scent, he won't be able to find Ye Zi.
"There is salt under the saline-alkali desert. When the temperature is high, it melts. The salt turns into salt water and flows away, leaving caves underground. But they are invisible to people on the ground, so you must be careful." Batu
Gar explained.
Luoyang nodded: "I understand, thank you."
After a while, Luoyang hit the road carrying a worn-out canvas bag.
The bag was Batugar’s military satchel for carrying tools. It contained 6 bags of bread, 4 bottles of mineral water, seven or eight ham sausages and a flashlight. I was in a hurry when I arrived, so I didn’t let Batugar know.
Buy more water and food, but you can only make do in this place.
The footprints extend forward.
Luoyang did not destroy those footprints. He walked beside them all the way here, leaving a line of clear footprints belonging to him on the sand. If Hu Bufei or the local police chased him, they could also obtain important information from the footprints on the ground.
information.
More than ten kilometers have passed, and the hills are getting bigger and higher. The sedimentary rocks impacted by ancient water flows are exposed in the air. In some places, you can even see the fossils of shells and fish. There is no green spot as far as the eyes can see.
There are only yellow sand and brown rocks, and there is no sound around, giving people the feeling of being on an alien planet.
The ground is getting harder and harder, there are more and more blue and black Gobi stones, and the footprints on the ground are getting lighter and lighter, and finally disappear.
Luoyang stopped before the last footprint.
In front of the canyon is a canyon with hundreds of meters high Yadan Mountain on both sides. Most of the mountain is buried by yellow sand, and only a section of the mountain top is exposed. But standing at the mouth of the canyon, what you can see is a 90-degree vertical cliff, and the sun is shining brightly.
Being blocked from the outside, the light in the canyon was dim and the end could not be seen at a glance.
However, there is a desert on the left side of the canyon. There are no footprints, but it is possible for people to bypass the canyon and walk to the left.
Luoyang lay on the ground and sniffed around the rocks with his nose. Fortunately, there was no wind, and the smell remaining on the rocks was very light, but under the super-sensory state of the ancestral wizard's spirit body, he could barely
Capture the scent lingering in the cracks of the rocks.
He almost crawled to the entrance of the canyon, but right here, his mood became more solemn. This chapter has been completed!
