Chapter 43: Another suspicious kind appeared(2/2)
Zheng Taiyuan said: "Su Hongjun?"
Bubu said: "Su Hong Army!"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "He came to play with our scientific expedition team."
Bubu said, "I know I know! How is he?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "I don't know..."
I was shocked. Before I came to Lop Nur, I checked its information. In February 2013, a scientific research team disappeared collectively in Lop Nur and searched for no one. Later, I determined that they had died... Could it be that the person in front of me was one of them?
I asked Bubu: "Su Hongjun? What's going on?"
Bubu said: "Su Hongjun is my husband!"
I was stunned.
Bubu said: "He and a scientific expedition team entered Lop Nur and disappeared! The rescue team's helicopter entered Lop Nur many times, but they were not found. So they were sure they were killed collectively..."
I suddenly understood the true purpose of Bubu coming to Lop Nur.
I suddenly understood why she kept holding the telescope and looking around.
I suddenly understood why she was pulling a stone tablet.
Bubu said: "Where has he gone? Is he still alive?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "Give me water..."
Meng Xiaoshuai hurried to get the water.
Zheng Taiyuan said: "He is likely to die too..."
Bubu couldn't speak for a long time. She asked again unwillingly: "What do you mean is that he may still be alive?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "Maybe."
Bubu's eyes immediately ignited hope: "Please tell me what happened, okay?"
Meng Xiaoshuai brought a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zheng Taiyuan. He drank it, and his physical strength seemed to have recovered a lot. I noticed that he was holding the empty plastic bottle tightly and holding it tightly.
Zheng Taiyuan said: "We entered Lop Nur to look for manganese ore. After approaching the center of Lop Nur Lake, we got up that morning and found that a teammate died. We thought he died of an emergency in the middle of the night. We quickly tried to contact the outside world, but found that all communication was interrupted. The next morning, we found another teammate died. We all felt something was wrong and evacuated immediately. Unexpectedly, another teammate died on the third morning..."
I said, "How many of you are there?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "Six, plus the Su Hongjun who came to travel with us, there are 7 in total."
I said, "Where are the other three?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "It will take at least 4 days for us to leave Lop Nur, and we have just four people left. At night, we took turns to sleep, but on the fourth night, the person who stood guard died..."
As we listened, the whole person shuddered.
We only know that Lop Nur, as a natural environment where birds do not shit, often devour human life. Now it seems that there is something evil in this area that kills people without blinking. What is it?
Zheng Taiyuan continued: "We only have three people left, so we dare not camp anymore. We rushed day and night to escape. On the fifth day, we walked and found that the last car was missing. We thought it had broken down, so we hurried back to find it and found another teammate died in the car..."
I said, "Where is that Su Hongjun?"
Bubu stared at him.
Zheng Taiyuan said: "I don't know. He drove a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle in front. I followed him in this small truck. The dust in front was very big and smoky. I don't know why a child appeared!..."
He also mentioned the child!
Zheng Taiyuan said: "The child appeared too suddenly. I didn't have time to brake and hit him under the car. I quickly stopped the car and went down to check the chassis, but didn't see him. I felt something was wrong. How could there be a child in this place? Thinking of those teammates who died one after another, I was scared. I got in the car and started driving forward..."
Bubu said: "Are you tired of driving, too tired and unconscious?"
Zheng Taiyuan looked at Bubu and said, "I am really tired. After driving for a while, I stopped the car and rested. I just took a nap and felt something was wrong. When I opened my eyes, a child's mouth appeared in the crack of the air conditioner. It was red and was blowing out, as cold as the air conditioner. Then I fainted..."
I said, "You really see a mouth open in the air conditioner?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "It's true!"
Bubu asked: "Did you turn off the engine?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "No..."
Bubu said: "You stopped sleeping at idle and got poisoned by carbon monoxide! It is impossible for a child to have a mouth. You must have fallen into a coma first and then hallucinations!"
Zheng Taiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I feel that this inspection is like an illusion from beginning to end."
I said, "What?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "After I woke up, it was already dark, the off-road vehicle in front was gone, and only me and this small truck were left in the entire desert. I bumped around and couldn't get out..."
I said, "Do you still have oil in your car?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "I ran away a few days ago. I kept staying in the car. To be honest, I am waiting to die..."
I said, "How did you survive?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "The food and water are all in my car."
Bubu immediately asked: "Where is the Su Hongjun's car?"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "Some are. After my teammates died one after another, we took all the supplies and placed them in two cars."
Bubu clenched his fists.
I said, "But you have been here for two months!"
Zheng Taiyuan said: "The seven of us have reserved supplies for 20 days. They are all dead. Su Hongjun and I are divided into two parts, which is just enough to live for two months. I drank the last bottle of water the day before yesterday..."
Bubu suddenly turned his face to me: "My husband must be alive!"
I nodded: "Maybe he has already walked out..."
Zheng Taiyuan said dejectedly: "Not necessarily, maybe he will see a child..."
Suddenly, Wei Zao called me: "Boss Zhou!"
He had just climbed into the minivan, and he must have discovered something.
I walked to the door of the carriage and asked him, "What's wrong?"
He said, "Come up and take a look..."
I grabbed the car door and climbed up. I threw sleeping bags, oil barrels, some old equipment in the carriage, as well as a bunch of empty mineral water bottles and empty food packaging boxes. There were several plastic bags in the corner of the carriage, containing white powder, which read: Arsenic trioxide.
There are more than a dozen kilograms of arsenic in this car!
