Chapter 4 In-depth

The next morning, fifteen prisoners took minibus to the train station and boarded the train. In addition to fifteen prisoners, there were ten gun-carrying security guards, twenty employees of the classical adventure company, and finally the beauty and Ding Ze. Among the employees of the classical adventure company, there was an old man, who was the core of the expedition team. He roughly located the location of the Lost Ancient City through a large amount of historical materials. When he came to the prisoner's carriage to explain the purpose of the adventure, he also introduced the Lost Ancient City.

The Lost Ancient City is only recorded in some documents. More than a thousand years ago, the Chuxiao Empire wanted to open a road to the Iron Empire by land, which is now called Twilight City. The expedition team set out and discovered the Lost Ancient City. According to records, the Lost Ancient City was on a desert oasis with a total population of more than 7,000. A few months later, the Lost Ancient City sent a special envoy and an expedition team to return to the Chuxiao Empire together and met with the Emperor of the Chuxiao Empire at that time.

The envoy of the ancient city introduced the situation of the ancient city. They were originally a tribe, but later they gradually grew and grew by relying on the oasis. Emperor Chu Xiao sent envoys to visit the ancient city with a large number of gifts. After the envoy returned to the country, it was recorded that the ancient city was small, but it was uneasy. The two princes competed for the throne. The wizard believed that the eldest prince was the source of disaster in the ancient city, so the citizens exiled the eldest prince, and the young prince became the ruler of the ancient city.

The record ended here. The next year, Chu Xiao Empire sent envoys to visit the ancient city again and found that the ancient city had disappeared, and together with the oasis on which they lived. Emperor Chu Xiao sent 500 soldiers into the desert to search for the ancient city. Not only was it not found, two teams of 50 soldiers were also missing.

The old expert said: "A batch of cultural relics was unearthed a few months ago. Among the cultural relics, there are a batch of documents that record the marching records of 500 soldiers at that time. Based on various clues, the location where the two teams of soldiers disappeared was inferred. Don't worry, I think the ancient city did not disappear. It was just a huge sandstorm or storm that hit the ancient city and oasis, covering the ancient city and oasis in the sea of ​​sand. This archaeology will use drill bits to penetrate deep into the sand, and then use metal detection to find the ancient city. This work is very simple. If it goes well, we can go home in ten days."

Cui Ming smiled in his heart, going home for ten days? If it was so simple, why should I find a prisoner? I also had to hire two masters. Cui Ming looked at the beauty and Ding Ze in the front row of the carriage. Ding Ze didn't know that the beauty was definitely a master. The beauty's showing off her skills in prison has shown a situation that human physical fitness could not reach. What made Cui Ming curious was the big cloth bag that the beauty had always carried with her, and she couldn't see anything, and the flat cloth bag.

The beautiful woman stood up, walked to the connection with another carriage, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The cart train salesman squatted on the cart and was puzzled: "I don't know, there is a row of ten boxes of poker missing. Maybe I didn't put it on?" She was not sure. Poker was not valuable and he even stole ten boxes, which was logically unreasonable.

The beauty returned to her position. Her thoughts were the same as the salesperson. Although the cart passed by the cart and it was very likely to lose things, after all, the cart was all prisoners. However, the reason for taking ten boxes of poker was impossible to explain. There was only one explanation. The salesperson forgot to put the poker on the cart.

During the day and night trip, Cui Ming also had some knowledge of the beauty and Ding Ze. The beauty named Beiyue is the head of Beiyue's office. She doesn't talk much and has few expressions on her face, but her temperament is quite good, sitting like a bell and standing like a pine. Ding Ze is not very concerned about prisoners and adventures. He only chats with Beiyue most of the time. He is not as attentive as men and women, but a gentlemanly demeanor among friends who prefer women. Not only Beiyue, but also women in classical adventure companies, but also women on the trains, he is gentle and patient.

...

The classical adventure company came prepared. The camp has been arranged eighty kilometers away from Kama Town, and the camp has entered the desert fifteen kilometers.

After resting at the camp, the equipment was started to be distributed. Each prisoner was given a stockpile of dry food, a compass, a walkie-talkilometer-range walkie-talkilometer, and three portable drill bit metal detectors.

At dawn the next day, the group rode a camel and embarked on an adventure.

The expedition team was divided into three teams, the first team was fifteen prisoners and four gun-carrying security guards. Five kilometers behind them were members of the Classical Expedition Company. Ten kilometers behind them were a logistical camel fleet, carrying a lot of water, food, and doctors accompanied. Each team was equipped with a radio station to inform them of their current situation.

Advance during the day and camp at night. As the team deepened, the temperature difference between day and night became larger and larger. The prisoners team successfully arrived at a small oasis a week later, following the command of the Classical Expedition Company. When the three teams camped in the small oasis, the old experts told the prisoners that they could reach the destination of the trip in eighty kilometers.

Cui Ming felt a little uneasy, and the precise positioning of the oasis indicated that it was not the first time the classical expedition team came here. The first time they did not hire prisoners to come here, and the second time they hired prisoners. Obviously, there was a problem with the first expedition, and they did not know where the problem was. The logistics team set up camp in the oasis, and they would no longer follow the team and would only send people to deliver water and food.

Late at night, there were countless stars. Cui Ming was lying on the sand beside the fire and looked at the starry sky. It was not that he didn't want to go to the tent ten meters away, but because he was on night today, he wanted to ensure that the bonfire was not extinguished. As he went deeper, the security guards had completely given up guarding the prisoners. At this time, there was no logistics support and no prisoners could escape from the desert to survive.

A tent opened and Beiyue walked out of it. She was not wearing pajamas. After coming to the desert, she changed into a yellow dress, walked towards the fire with the big cloth bag, looked at Cui Ming, sitting down in front of the bonfire without saying hello, and quietly looked at the flames, not knowing what she was thinking.

Cui Ming was opposite her, looking at her through the fire. Beiyue was like a lotus, not talking and moving, but her beauty and temperament always existed and were fully revealed. Her eyes were beautiful, as bright as stars, and as quiet as deep water. In this way, the two of them sat quietly through the fire until dawn. The difference was that Beiyue was looking at the fire, while Cui Ming was looking at her.
