Chapter five hundred and eighteen quicksand, quicksand
There was no talking all night, and then dawn rose the next day.
The Audi carried the five people and continued heading deep into the desert. They would reach the old site of Loulan Ancient City in another fifty kilometers.
Loulan, a country in the history of Western China that has been full of mysteries until now. The mystery of Loulan comes from the fact that this small country with a population of about 200,000 people somehow seemed to disappear out of thin air overnight. The entire country and people disappeared.
It disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of ruins. It may have happened for various reasons, but because there has never been any record in history, people now can only attribute Loulan's disappearance to a mystery.
"Although Loulan is small, it is very rich. Loulan is a must-stop place for the Silk Road. The development of the Silk Road has made the entire ancient Loulan country's commerce develop rapidly. People here live a very prosperous life, and the King of Loulan is said to be wealthy.
The level is not even worse than that of the emperor of the Central Plains at that time.”
After a night of getting along, Rongrong seemed to no longer have much resistance to Xiang Que and Wang Xuanzhen. After the car drove away, she took the initiative to ask: "You are not here to explore Loulan, but to look for the Loulan Palace. It can also be said that you are not here to explore Loulan."
Those buried treasures in the palace, right?"
Xiang Que looked out the car window and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you say this, the three of us will be given a suspended death sentence. Don't you know that everything buried underground belongs to the country?"
Rongrong chuckled and shook her head and said: "You don't look like you are here to explore Loulan's ancient ruins. How about making a small deal? It's not an unreasonable request. I asked grandpa to decipher the things on the silk cloth.
You take Qiqi and I to find the Loulan Underground Palace."
"This deal is still small, you want a lot," Wang Xuanzhen, who was driving, turned around in shock and said.
Rongrong sneered and said: "My purpose is different from yours. I just want to explore the Loulan monuments and am not interested in the things in the Loulan Palace at all. You can just bring two little tails with you to get the answer I want."
That’s enough”
Xiang Que frowned and said: "It's a bit dangerous. The ancient sites in Loulan are not those developed scenic spots. This is not a tourist place. The three of us are a little scared. How can you two women have the courage?"
"Oh... then get off the car, we can go there by ourselves, you can go down," Rongrong said calmly, folding her arms.
"Hey, look at how you, a woman, get so anxious when you talk."
"Haha..." Rongrong lowered her head and said nothing.
"Follow me, people have to bow their heads under the eaves," Xiang Que said.
An hour later, the desert ahead was flat, and the shadows of some remaining walls could be vaguely seen in the distance on the horizon, which were the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.
"It will take us about two hours to get there. Let's rest here for a while and then we can reach the destination in one go." Wang Xuanzhen slowly slowed down the speed of the car.
But at this time, the people in the car suddenly felt that the car body suddenly tilted slightly to the right, and the car tilted.
"Huh?" Wang Xuanzhen, who was driving, was suddenly startled.
"Buzz, buzz." Wang Xuanzhen lightly tapped the accelerator, and the Audi engine began to roar, but the car continued to swerve to the right.
"Come on, hit the accelerator with your big foot." A trace of cold sweat broke out on Rongrong's face, and her voice was trembling a little when she spoke: "Don't let go, we have encountered a whirlpool of quicksand. As soon as you let go, the car will instantly
will be submerged in quicksand.”
There are two most terrifying emergencies in the desert. The first is a dust storm. When the wind blows up in the desert, it will blow up dust and sand all over the sky. If anyone encounters it, it will be swallowed up instantly, which is similar to the feeling of an avalanche.
The second is quicksand. Once a person falls into the whirlpool of quicksand, he will slowly sink and then sink and be buried alive under the sand.
Either of these two situations is dangerous for people.
"Boom, boom, boom." Wang Xuanzhen braved a cold sweat and tried his best to coax the accelerator, hoping to use the powerful power of Audi to slow down the car's sinking speed: "Open the door on the left, you guys get down, I will hold on for a while, hurry up and stop the ink stains."
Just lie down on the ground after the car. Don’t stand up and crawl away.”
"Bang!" Rongrong, who was sitting next to the car door, opened the car door and got out, then landed on the sand. She turned around and shouted: "Qiqi, get out of the car faster."
"Sister Rongrong, sister Rongrong, I, my feet are weak." Feng Qiqi bit her lip and moved slowly.
When Cao Shanjun, who was sitting behind her, saw this, he quickly put his hand on her back and pushed her out. When the three people behind her moved, the force of the car was uneven, and half of the right side of the Audi's car was already sunk into the sand.
Go, and after a while the whole car will be buried.
After the three of them got out, only Wang Xuanzhen, who was driving, and Xiang Que, who was sitting in the passenger seat, were left in the car.
"Lao Xiang, climb to the back and get out through the left door." At this time, almost two-thirds of the Audi's body was already trapped in the quicksand.
Without saying a word, Xiang Que put down the seat and crawled behind.
"Crunch" moved toward the rear, directly causing the weight of the Audi's rear butt to rise, and the front of the car was instantly raised high.
"Ah, Sister Rongrong...him, them" Qiqi, who was lying on the ground outside, was instantly frightened and screamed.
"It's impossible for both of them to come out together. One person has to step on the accelerator to support them," Rongrong said with a pursed lips.
Cao Shanjun suddenly untied his belt and quickly took off half of his sleeves. He tied the belt and clothes together and crawled under the Audi. He said: "Fat man, grab the rope. When Xiang Que comes out of the car, jump out directly."
I'm holding you"
Wang Xuanzhen leaned out half of his body and reached out to grab the waistband of trousers thrown by Cao Shanjun. Xiang Que saw that the two of them had connected, then kicked off the car with his right foot and the man jumped directly into the distance.
"Crunch" The front of the car continued to rise suddenly after leaving Xiangque, and the entire car body stood up at a ninety-degree angle.
"Fat man, jump quickly" Xiang Que shouted anxiously.
Wang Xuanzhen gritted his teeth and let go of the accelerator. As soon as he released his right foot from the accelerator, the Audi, which had lost power, suddenly accelerated its sinking speed.
"Roar!" As Wang Xuanzhen stood up, he felt a strong force coming from his left hand, and Cao Shanjun had already begun to pull him out.
"Ah?" Just as Wang Xuanzhen was about to get out of the car, his right foot was caught on the steering wheel.
"Bang" The part where the sleeves and the waistband were tied collapsed.
Cao Shanjun pulled Wang Xuanzhen's belt like the straw that broke the camel's back. After losing his strength, the whole car was instantly submerged in the quicksand whirlpool.
"Fat man..." Xiang Que shouted with red eyes.
Cao Shanjun stared blankly at the submerged sand nest for a moment.
