Chapter 221: Snake Ghost Town · Devil City

Aning was very strange and asked, "Why?"
Tashi said to us: "My grandma said that this piece of Devil City in front of you is not a tourist attraction. This Yadan landform is about 87 square kilometers and is very vast. It is still the most primitive state and there are no road signs. , I traveled inside at night. If I am not familiar with the environment, it is very easy to get lost. It is said that there are a lot of quicksand wells. In 1997, a team of geological survey team members disappeared inside. At that time, many people were dispatched to find I did n’t find it. Later, when there was a strong wind in 1999, several photographers found two corpses in a sandpit when they took photos here. The other people have not found it yet. "
Anin listened and shook his head, saying: "You don't need to worry about it. We take GPS. If, as you said, the terrain is so complicated, we have to go in. If it's dawn, they might have an accident."
Speaking without listening to Tashi's advice, he greeted several people, turned on the flashlight, and planned to go deeper.
I think she makes sense. Tashi has always played a sensational role, and now his words Aning will not be fully trusted, and the foreigner's style is people-oriented, let those three people be ignored, in their hearts It is equivalent to killing them by hand, these people cannot make such a decision.
I naturally want to follow, because the three people disappeared when I was with me, more or less, I have to do my best, otherwise if there is really an accident, I will not be at peace. And sitting here is completely impossible to fall asleep.
Tashi still had to speak. At this time, Dharma, the lord of the side, made a speech. She shook her head to stop Tashi from saying anything, and then quickly said something to Tashi in Tibetan.
Tashi immediately showed a very incomprehensible expression, but the expression of Dzhuma was very determined. Tashi also wanted to protest. Dzhuma screamed, and Zhaxi dared not to speak anymore. He nodded to Dingma Doma and backed away. He said to us with a depressed face: "You are lucky, my grandma asked me to take you in." He said that he twisted the flashlight and walked to the edge of his luggage. Clean up equipment.
I don't understand Tibetan, and asked Aning what the old lady said. Aning also shook his head, saying that it was too light to hear. It was probably about collecting money and eliminating disasters for others.
I was so funny in my heart that I glanced at the master Dolma. The old lady had already returned to the tent. It seemed that she was not worried about these things at all.
Tashi cleaned his equipment, let us put away unnecessary things, bring enough water and dry food, and signal gun, then woke up a driver, told him our plan, let him in Stay outside and be prepared to respond. If you see us flicking inside, don't come in. Just flick outside and give us directions. If it doesn't come out, wait for the day to dawn before letting others come in and find us, he will leave a mark along the way.
The driver vaguely agreed, the four of us reorganized, and Tashila took a long face to take the lead, and set off towards the entrance of the devil city behind him.
Our shelter is on the edge of the devil city. After the high rock mountain camped, there is a steep that extends downwards. The castle-like rock mountain seen at the end of the sandstorm should be relatively high in the devil city. There is a rocky mountain.
Zhaxi piled an Arab stone pile with broken stones on a steep slope, marking the direction for later people. He said that as long as there was a turn, he would pile one, and once he saw his own stone pile during the progress, We can no longer move forward, and we will start to circle again if we advance further. This is his bottom line.
We feel reasonable, so we said no problem.
Soon we entered the city gate, and we entered the devil city. The surrounding scenes began to be weird. Looking up, under the moonlight, all were black rocks that protrude above the Gobi gravel, because the light is indistinguishable. With the flashlight, you can see the weathered ravine cut by the wind above the rock mountain is very obvious. Under this black color, a few places where the moonlight shines are particularly pale. This feeling is a bit like walking on the surface of the moon.
I watched it all the way. I imagined that the contents of the geomechanics had been completely forgotten. I only knew that the Yadan wind eroded rock group in this place was not yet mature, probably the terrain was relatively low, and the rocks and mounds were exposed. The surface time is not long, and it has not been weathered very badly, so most of the rock hills are still very tall.
In this case, we can only walk between the rocky mounds, and cannot climb up the mounds at will like other devil cities. However, the valley under this landform is not flat, and the high place protrudes above the gravel , The lower part is covered by Gobi. In geology, this kind of rock mountain is actually considered to be the top of an underground mountain range, not to mention that it is only a dozen meters high, but there are huge rock foundations a few kilometers deep below our feet. These big mountains hidden under the gravel are all The branch of Kunlun Mountain. In theory, we are now walking on Kunlun Mountain.
But I did n’t have time to think about these academic questions. As soon as I walked two or three kilometers away, Aning started calling on the intercom, and we shouted loudly, hoping that those three people would hear our voices and respond to us.
In the silent Devil City, our voice was bounced into countless kinds of echoes at once, overlapped together, and could spread far away. It sounds very strange from a distance, like a ghost sound from a ghost.
Just walked while shouting, searching for two or three hours, and went deep into the Devil City. The flashlight swept the surrounding rocks, his eyes were spent, and his mouth was numb. But I didn't find any shadow of the Caucasians at all, and our shouts didn't have any echoes. Only our own echoes and slight moaning winds answered us.
We stopped and rested. Aning asked Tashi, according to his experience, how to find it would be better?
Tashi shook his head: "It's only your way. We are now walking about seven kilometers. We have walked a long way in a straight line. But in fact, we turned around unconsciously long ago. Looking at the compass, now we Almost walking back, people here are like ants, and they will unconsciously take the S-shaped route, so I can only guarantee to take you out now, I ca n’t provide advice to find someone-if they do n’t move, if they also In finding the way, what do you say is the probability that you will meet in the maze of 80 square kilometers? "
Anin was not satisfied with this answer and frowned, "No one has lost you before?"
Tashi piled a pile of stones and shook his head without raising his head: "We will never come in this place at night."
After he finished speaking, he sighed, not knowing what it meant.
Anin looked at our expressions and inspired us a few words, let us not be discouraged. But obviously it didn't work very much. We smoked a few cigarettes and recovered a little, and then moved on.
However, things still did not develop as we expected. I shouted and walked, and I did n’t know how much time I had walked. During the rest, I rested four times. Tashi piled no fewer than thirty stone piles, but I did n’t even see the figure. There was no response. Silent Devil City It seemed that I had swallowed any sounds to us.
And what made me really feel terrible is that we did not see any Tashi stone piles appear, indicating that we are still moving forward. This Devil City is really unfathomable, I do n’t know how much distance there is.
Moving on, we walked into a gorge sandwiched by rocks. Under a big rock, we couldn't walk anymore, we could only stop and rest for the sixth time.
At this time, our throat was dumb, and we couldn't cry anymore. We sipped water, and everyone entered a state of aphasia, and our brains were a little blank.
Remained silent for a while, the team doctor suddenly said: "Is there really a devil in this devil city? They were taken away by the devil?"
Said this abruptly. We all froze for a moment. Tashi glared at him and told him not to talk nonsense. Tibetans are more traditional. This kind of remark is uncomfortable.
"The devil is definitely not, and people are definitely here." After a long while, Tashi said with a sip of water, and slowly said while moistening his throat: "But I don't know what is the situation now."
Several people fell silent again, each pondering their own thoughts. In fact, I know that the hopes of several of us are very small. When I first came in, I thought that there was a high probability of finding them. At least some traces could be found. Now, I have no idea at all.
Rested for another period of time. Aning looked at his watch and stood up, beckoning us to prepare to continue to leave. We all stood up reflexively, took a deep breath, prepared to cheer up, and continued to shout.
It was at this time that several of us heard a loud cry from Aning's intercom. The static electricity is very loud and very harsh, so you can't hear anything.
The surroundings were terribly quiet. Suddenly, the sound scared us to death, and immediately looked at Aning's intercom.
Anin was also stunned. It took several seconds to react, and he took the interphone and listened carefully.
The sound rang again, and the static electricity was extremely harsh, but it was obvious that someone was calling.
"They are nearby!" We exclaimed. Aning almost jumped up.
The terrain like Devil City has almost no effect on the interphone. Only within a very short distance can the signal be received. Aning tried to receive such a signal all the way, but there was no result. Now the signal suddenly sounded. Obviously the other party's intercom was very close.
We let out a deep breath in our heart. Aning immediately began to adjust the frequency, and the voice became clear, but he still could not hear what he was saying. Then she yelled at the intercom: "I am the team leader, we are searching for you, where are you?"
The answer is a series of indescribable voices. The interference is very serious, but the tone of voice has changed. Obviously the other party can hear our voice.
The depression just now swept away, and the team doctor yelled "YES". I also took out my walkie-talkie, tapped it, tuned it to see if it was a problem with the machine, and soon I tuned out the voice, which was also noisy.
Anin called again, and this time the voice was slightly clear again. Several of us tried hard to listen, hoping to hear what the other party was saying.
Listening, I found it wrong. The person at the end of the walkie-talkie did not seem to be speaking. The tone of the speech was very strange and difficult to describe. It sounded like a person who was grinning venomously.
