Chapter 22 Section 21 Sand Sea Surfing

During the meal, the temporary team suddenly became distinct.The people from the TV station sat at three tables, and would rather squeeze a little than separate; the armed police soldiers were together; Company Commander Mao, Chu Feng, Ling Ning, two young drivers from Xinjiang Shengdi Institute, Sangbu, Wang Cong and Fatty These people are at the same table.There was only Lin William, a self-acquaintance. He used to spend some time with people like the TV station, and now he was in a team. Chu Feng chatted with Company Commander Mao and Sang Bu about camping at night.Sang Bu's opinion: If you leave after dinner, you have to hurry forward today, and try to reach the camp at Zachequan before dark.The faces of the two drivers from the Xinjiang Habitat Institute all showed fear on their faces. Among them, Liang Wu was my young man who seemed hesitant to speak.

Chu Feng then asked, "Xiao Liang, what do you disagree with?" Xiao Liang thought for a while, and finally got up the courage to say: "I can't go to the Ziche Spring. There are quicksands all around there. Once I sink in, it will be troublesome!" "Oh!" Chu Feng turned his head to look at Sang Bu after hearing this.Sang Bu nodded: "That's right, there are quicksands around the Chequan Spring, but there is still a safe path to pass through, but—" he pointed to the car pulling large equipment on the TV station outside and said, "This is hard to get through no matter what. !"

When Chu Feng heard it, he understood.I am afraid that this is the root cause of not being able to go the same way as the TV station. This quicksand does not mean a desert in general.In the desert, there are some special places where the sand looks the same as other places, but once people or animals accidentally step into it, they will sink deeper and deeper until they are completely swallowed by the sand.Afterwards, the sand dune returned to its original state, and it was not at all obvious that it was a terrifying place that swallowed up life.These areas are called quicksand areas by people who often travel to and from the desert.

Chu Feng pulled Lin William aside who was having fun with the beauty of the TV station, and whispered a few words to Du Xin seriously, and saw the beauty planning to follow him. For some reason, Miss Ling Ning didn't like this beauty very much. Seeing her approaching now, she simply turned around and chatted with those armed police soldiers. Chu Feng didn't care about her small movements.He invited Du Xin over, told her what Captain Sangbu and Xiao Liang had just said, and asked Xiao Liang to emphasize the danger of being trapped by the car spring.At this time, Du Xin had already figured it out. She decided to follow Captain Sangbu's suggestion and take National Highway 235 to Luozhong, which is now Lop Nur Town.

Hearing the news, William Lin showed regret.Chu Feng let out a sigh of relief. The next step is to redistribute vehicles and supplies.On Chu Feng's side, besides William, Ling Ning, Fatty and himself, Captain Sangbu must go with him, and now Company Commander Mao also needs to bring two soldiers to follow.In addition to the driver and supplies, there is also a professional archaeological photographer - modern archaeology, it is very important to leave first-hand video data on the spot, so most archaeological teams will bring such a part-time archaeologist and photographer.There are three cars here.

Because the road over there is easier to walk, the two drivers from the Xinjiang Institute of Habitat and Land have rich experience in leading the way, and they have already contacted the Lop Nur Potassium Salt Base in Luozhong, where they can replenish supplies.Therefore, Chu Feng and the others left as much supplies as possible along the way.And those who couldn't sit down had to squeeze in the military vehicles. Seeing the people on the radio station leave in a hurry, Chu Feng specifically confirmed with Sangbu: "This kind of car can pass the trail you mentioned, right?" Just before leaving, the driver Xiao Liang repeatedly Persuade them not to go to the side of Zachequan, saying that the road is too dangerous, so that they would rather take the road taken by the large army than detour, safe!

Sang Bu didn't agree. Although Chu Feng didn't say a word at the time, it was respect for Sang Bu, but after all, it was related to the lives and deaths of so many people, so he had to ask Sang Bu to make a statement. Sangbu hummed heavily, didn't say much, and Chu Feng didn't ask any more questions, and followed him into the Mitsubishi off-road vehicle. The three cars started at the same time, Wang Cong led the way, Ling Ning, the camera surnamed Wang, and Lin William were in the middle, and Company Commander Mao's third car was in the rear. Shanshan County is known as the city closest to the desert in the world. The Kumtag Desert is on the edge of the city, only 2 kilometers away from the city center.After the rise of desert tourism, the county simply surrounded the sand hills entering the city and set up a sand hill tourist park.From time to time, some large sand sculptures are made there to attract tourists.

Passing the county seat, the three vehicles did not stop, and plunged into the Kumtag Desert. The Kumtag Desert is the desert with the highest altitude in Xinjiang. The golden-yellow fine sand is affected by the climate and wind direction and piled up into a tall pyramid shape. The rolling sand dunes overlap and extend all the way to the southern skyline, which makes people feel The illusion that the desert merges with the blue sky.This Kumtag, known as the Colored Desert, is the only desert in the world that produces colorful sand, and is also rich in wind stones.At present, as the price of Fengling stones in the strange stone market has been rising all the way, more and more people are breaking into the desert to look for Fengling stones.

The drivers of these three cars are all veterans, and they refused to walk the sand beams properly, but "surfed" the sand dunes. When Chu Feng was a soldier in Xinjiang, he didn't have such a way of playing, and he didn't realize it at first.At first, when Xiao Wang drove slowly up the sand dunes, although he felt that something was wrong-it was easy to walk on the sand beams, why did he go straight up the sand dunes? But soon, after reaching the top of the dunes, the speed of the car was no longer uncomfortably slow, but surprisingly fast!Can you not be happy rushing down from the sand hill?At first Chu Feng thought that the brakes of the car were out of order. With the complete weightlessness and the huge sand hill rushing towards him, Chu Feng thought to himself, "It's over!"

At this moment, Wang Cong turned the direction, made a sharp turn, and the car passed dangerously against the sand hill! "Haha! Haha!" Xiao Wang's wanton laughter and the exclamation of those young people came from next to his ears.Only then did Chu Feng understand—are they playing? ! Wang Cong wanted to show off: "Professor Chu, how is it? You surfed the waves at the beach, but you didn't enjoy surfing the sand waves, did you?" Chu Feng said "Uh--", but he was thinking in his heart, fortunately, the calm personality he cultivated for many years has played a role, and he didn't feel too embarrassed just now!

Wang Cong got the affirmation, he felt more proud, and he showed off even more. The car became more thrilling every time, and the driver behind him followed suit, which made the little girl Ling Ning in the car exclaimed again and again, and Lin William shouted happily. His screams could be heard from far away.Only the photographer and videographer holding the machine was afraid that his baby bumps would bump into each other, so he was too worried about going crazy with them. Even Company Commander Mao and his soldiers were very involved in the game, and they shouted again and again.Except for Chu Feng, Fatty and Sangbu, most of the people here entered the desert for the first time. They were a little bit afraid of this barren land full of death in the legend, but they were rushed by the three drivers. After making a fuss, the fear was put aside, but the curiosity and playfulness were aroused. Sangbu is a person who has been in the desert for a long time, and sometimes he even feels that the desert is his real home.As soon as he saw the yellow sand all over the sky, he felt kind.The desert is not a barren land as people imagined. Many tenacious sand plants are firmly rooted here, and there is a trace of green in the yellow sand.But the fiery red willow is not so subtle, even in the desert with extremely harsh ecological conditions, it still lives so wildly and unrestrainedly!Every time he sees them, Sangbu feels his heart is warm, and all the troubles he encounters in the world are not worth mentioning in front of them.Only the boldness that surged to my chest was left, forcing myself to sing loudly! For this reason, Sambu can understand the desire of those boys to vent.So at the beginning, they were allowed to play, but later they realized that they had played too much, so they yelled at Wang Cong: "Driving well, boy, don't show off here!" When Wang Cong was yelled at by him, he immediately calmed down.As soon as the three cars stopped playing, a tail came out from the back. Sambu had already spotted it in the rearview mirror.When the convoy departed from Urumqi, it was equipped with two maritime phones, and each vehicle had a GPS positioning system and a vehicle-mounted intercom.When they separated, the team gave one of the two maritime phones, and this one was installed in the car of Sambu. Sangbu saw that the car behind him seemed to be coming in a bad way, thinking of the shooting incident against Chu Feng last time, his face sank like water.He told the other two cars to separate temporarily through the walkie-talkie, and split up from three directions to see which car followed! After hearing about this situation, Company Commander Mao also agreed to this plan, but proposed that everyone should not be separated too far and must meet after 10 kilometers. Anything can happen in this vast desert, and if they are too far apart, accidents may happen.It just so happened that the driver of the second car also knew the way to Zichequan, so Sambu decided to lure the enemy by himself, let the other two cars join up, and wait for him outside the quicksand area where the scheduled campsite is located. The three cars had finished discussing on the intercom, and the car behind had already approached. With a sound of "swipe", the three cars separated in three directions in an instant, and quickly flew away with dust. The chasing car hesitated for a moment, not knowing which one to chase. At this moment, Chu Feng poked his probe out from the window in the middle. That car went straight to the one in the middle! Wang Cong's driving skills in the desert are really not for nothing. He was able to drive at a speed of 100 yards per hour here. You know, this is in the desert, with a large friction coefficient and high surface temperature. Normally, he can only run at most 20-30 yards per hour, otherwise it will blow out or have problems. This Wang Cong didn't care about anything in order to escape, and drove to the highest speed, but even so, he still couldn't get rid of the 212 behind him. "Damn, when did 212 get so old, this car must have been modified!" Even in such a tense car chase, Wang Cong still didn't change his nonchalant expression. "Hurry up, Lao Tzu!" Sambu almost yelled. The car bit them to death, and the distance was still getting closer. Logically speaking, it is impossible to drive so fast in the desert. Chu Feng and the others were constantly thrown up in the car, with their heads hitting the roof of the car.It is very easy to overturn at such a speed. Their car itself has been modified and the chassis has been strengthened, but it seems that it is not as thorough as the opponent's car. "Sit tight!" Wang Cong saw that it wasn't a problem, and the strength in his bones was stimulated: "Damn, I don't believe it, there are people in the desert who can race faster than me!" On the beam, I turned the steering wheel and drove the car down with the accelerator. That speed, really, is about the same as bungee jumping! At that time, everyone's hearts were in their throats. If they couldn't control it, it would be similar to suicide.As a result, the kid took another big turn without haste, and even bypassed the big sand beam blocking the road in front of him, and threw the chasing car behind him out of sight. Just when everyone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a bullet hit the window edge next to the driver's cab with a bang. "Damn it!" Wang Cong continued to accelerate without saying a word, and no longer dared to walk in a straight line.Just kidding, the other party has a gun, if he blows up the tires of his car, it will be troublesome. "Chu Feng, who did you offend? Why are these people determined to kill you!" This question was asked by the fat man, and seeing Sangbu's expression, he wanted to ask this question too. "I don't know either!" Chu Feng felt extremely annoyed.No one can bear this feeling of being chased and killed for no reason. "I can't go on like this!" Sang Bu's face was livid. No one expected that this kind of scene that only appeared in gangster movies would appear in this desert.Experienced people know that tire blowouts are particularly easy in the desert, especially when walking in Lop Nur, where tire blowouts are commonplace.All the cars have more than two spare tires on the roof before they come in, just to prevent the car from being turned into waste in the desert after a flat tire, which will be dangerous for people.If the gunman keeps chasing like this, he might blow out the tires of the car at some point, so even if there is a spare tire, it won't work, it's not enough for him to fight, and he won't honestly give you time to wait for you to change the tire.
