At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Su Mu and his team arrived at the Lop Nur base one after another along with Su Tianyang and others.
When they got off the plane, the heat wave that hit them almost took them away.
This place is a desert, not the kind of desert that can "eat people", but the temperature difference at night has been getting bigger and bigger in the past two years.
No one can say the specific reason. In the end, it can only be attributed to the greenhouse effect...
Anyway, this world has begun to deteriorate. Bad things are happening everywhere, and the degree of badness is gradually getting worse.
But to the world, these things are like boiling a toad in warm water.
Unless something particularly big happens, people will not wake up.
In contrast, the sense of crisis that Apocalypse brings to people is more direct and more effective.
…
This time, Su Mu no longer had the same five fixed people as before, but instead brought along Li Haotian.
This made Wei Wei a little unhappy, always feeling like a toy that was getting tired of being played with.
Now he has been abandoned by Sumu.
And Li Haotian became the boss's new love...
"Boss, please wait for me."
Weiwei chased after him and took the opportunity to hold Su Mu's arm.
Then, he raised his chin to Li Haotian behind him: "Humph~"
Li Haotian frowned: "Have they always been like this?"
"Just get used to it." Wan'er smiled.
Lao He: "Are you constipated?"
"What?" Li Haotian was puzzled, but since he was a newcomer, he answered honestly: "A little bit recently."
Lao He: "Then you won't be able to do it soon."
Seeing Lao He's meaningful smile, Li Haotian couldn't help but tighten his legs.
He actually felt chills running down his spine in this hot place...
As for Su Tianyang and Jiang Qi, they brought a large number of people, including hundreds of people.
They are all elites in exploration, archaeology, wilderness survival, etc., and are a great guarantee for the next Lop Nur adventure.
At least that's what it looks like under normal circumstances.
…
Su Mu followed Su Tianyang and Jiang Qi to the base office and met with Li Dashan and his three deputies.
Others went to their own residences to rest according to arrangements.
In the office, six people sat around a small desk, which was a bit crowded.
"Hey, the conditions in my little place are very poor, don't mind it," Li Dashan said with a smile while passing out cigarettes.
After a brief introduction to each other, everyone quickly got down to business.
Since it was Su Mu who suggested coming to Lop Nur this time, Su Mu took the lead and spoke.
"I got some news that some strange things may have happened in Lop Nur recently. Uncle Li has been working hard here for many years. Have you noticed any changes recently?"
Li Dashan chuckled and said, "There must be changes."
Hearing this, Su Mu and the others not only raised their eyebrows.
"The maximum temperature in the past two years has increased by 17 degrees, and the minimum temperature at night has varied by more than 30 degrees. This should be considered a big change, right?"
Su Mu nodded and said thoughtfully: "The temperature difference change is indeed a point. Are there others?"
"Gone."
Li Dashan spread his hands and said: "If there were really any big changes, I would have reported it to the empire long ago. Why do you need to ask? Isn't this a dereliction of duty on my part?"
Su Mu: "..."
At this time, Su Tianyang said: "How are the illegal activities here recently, such as tomb robbing."
"Oh, these people." Li Dashan said with a smile: "Didn't we conduct a large-scale raid against tomb robbers the year before last?"
"At that time, we directly killed more than ten people here. It is estimated that no one will dare to take advantage of Lop Nur in the next two years."
"So according to you, Lop Nur is very peaceful?" Su Mu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Li Dashan shrugged: "Are you calm? With this bad weather, if I hadn't been able to retire in a few more years, I would have applied to change places long ago."
"This place is simply not meant for humans."
Everyone: "..."
"Hahaha." Li Dashan laughed suddenly, stood up, and said, "If you don't say this, don't say this. If the superiors find out, I should be punished for my mouth!"
"It's hard work for everyone to fly all the way here. I've already had some food prepared."
"If you don't mind the roughness of the food here, why don't you have a meal first?"
Jiang Qi folded his arms on his chest and remained silent.
Su Tianyang was holding a cigarette in his mouth, thoughtfully.
At this time, Su Mu suddenly smiled and said: "As for Uncle Li, whether it's rough or not, as long as I have wine!"
"What a boy! So bold!" Li Dashan walked over and patted Su Mu on the shoulder, then winked at his deputy: "Go, hurry up and get ready, arrange the wine and meat!"
"Okay!" The two of them responded cheerfully and hurriedly left the room.
Now, there are only four people left in the room.
The atmosphere is a bit awkward.
Because suddenly, everyone stopped talking.
…
At this time, Su Mu, who was about to master Douyin, said: "Eh? Why is the signal so bad? Is there some interference?"
Su Mu, who had just arrived here, checked his cell phone specifically and found that the signal was still full.
But now, the mobile phone signal has dropped to only one bar, which can almost be described as no signal.
Because of the weak signal, even making a phone call is not smooth.
At this time, Su Tianyang and Jiang Qi also took out their mobile phones and found that the signal was very weak.
What's even more exaggerated is that the satellite phone signals on them became very unstable at this time.
This is somewhat unsettling.
However, at this time, Li Dashan threw his cell phone on the table with a "dong" sound, and then grinned.
"This is normal. The wind and sand have been heavy recently and the signal is poor."
"If you encounter a sandstorm, don't ask for a signal, it will directly show you 'no service'!"
Su Mu: "Good guy, this is the base with the worst signal I've ever seen."
"Hey, the main reason is that the base station is broken and has not been repaired." Li Dashan said.
Su Mu: "..."
Next, there was silence again.
But not long after, the meal was ready.
Due to limited conditions, Su Mu and the others ate in the office, while others ate in their own residences or in newly built tents.
The scale of this base is really small, so small that it doesn't even have a restaurant. This is how Li Dashan and the others have been coming.
As for the food, it wasn't that good either. The only meat dish was the hard beef jerky.
After eating, everyone took a rest.
According to the plan, Li Dashan will take everyone into Lop Nur tomorrow, go to Loulan first, and then make subsequent decisions based on the specific situation.
In a small room, Su Mu, Su Tianyang, and Jiang Qi sat together to discuss some details for tomorrow.
After all, Lop Nur is notoriously dangerous. Although it is not as mysterious as Confused Taipa on the surface, far more people have died here than at Confused Taipa.
However, just after six o'clock in the evening, Jiang Qi pressed his forehead and said: "Suddenly I feel very sleepy..."
"Me too..." Su Tianyang frowned and said.
At this time, Sumu suddenly showed up, surprising the two of them.
"There's something wrong with the afternoon meal."
