C1720 The Intruder Dies
0Shieh Hongyan felt that the mysterious old man that she 'saw' in her dreams was just an illusion. No matter what he promised her, when she woke up from the dream, everything would be gone. Her miserable fate would still follow the trajectory of reality.
But what she could not imagine was that when she opened her eyes again, she was in the desert that led to paradise.
Was this a dream or reality?
Shieh Hongyan slowly put on her scarf and didn't say anything for a long time, until the camel stopped at a dark desert.
Only then did she finally dare to be sure: This was not a dream, but a real one!
Her dream had come true.
In her dreams, she told the mysterious old man that she longed to go to the underground Lou Lan. Thus, when she woke up, she was in the Taklimakan Desert.
Why did his dream come true this time?
In the past twenty years, she had dreamt about this countless times, but when had she not woken up to find that everything was gone?
Why did his dream come true this time?
Could it be that the heavens did not have the heart to let her suffer in the mortal world, which was why they transformed into a mysterious old man that they could not see clearly? He walked into her dream, and after asking about her greatest wish, he brought her to this desert?
Shieh Hongyan didn't know if it was true or not. She only knew that even if she asked, the man wouldn't answer her.
The camel stopped in front of the black Guisha area. The man in front jumped off and took out a packet of medicinal powder from his leather bag, sprinkling it onto his body and the camel's body.
As the wind blew, Shieh Hongyan caught a whiff of a pleasant aroma. It was a good aroma, and it also made her feel calmer.
"This is sulphur powder that the black King Snake and other poisonous substances within the Guisha avoid, and it has also been added with special spices. That's why after it was spread on one's body, it would not have an unpleasant smell."
The man in black walked up to Shieh Hongyan's camel and handed her the packet of sulphur powder. He looked behind her and said, "There are people who don't want you to go to that place. But don't be afraid, they won't be able to catch you."
Shieh Hongyan took the bag of sulphur powder and turned around to look behind her. The two cars that she had seen earlier were a little bigger now. They had also sped up. It seemed like they were heading in this direction at full speed.
But he didn't expect that they were actually here to capture Shieh Hongyan.
Perhaps it was due to the blessings of heaven that her dreams came true. Thus, Shieh Hongyan did not feel any fear when she found out that the two cars were here to capture her. She only asked the man in black, "Is that someone from 1973, or Shen Yinbing?"
Other than the two forces, no one else seemed to have a reason to capture Shieh Hongyan.
"I don't know either, but no matter who they are, they won't be able to catch you. "Alright, why don't you dust me with sulphur powder? We should leave now. It's getting late."
After the black robed man finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his camel. "Don't throw away the packaging after sprinkling it, because I don't want anyone to break these Sulphur Powder that even the black King Snake are afraid of."
Shieh Hongyan nodded. Following the man's movements, she sprinkled the liquid on her and the camel's body.
As the camel followed the lead reins step by step into the black desert, Shieh Hongyan thought she heard the sound of a car horn coming from behind her.
They must be flustered and exasperated, since they saw that I was going to enter Guisha.
Shieh Hongyan smiled inwardly before she turned around and raised her hand. She waved back and forth in a graceful manner.
However, in Wang Zhiqi's eyes, her elegant actions were obviously a provocation.
"Hurry, speed up! I must catch up to that cousin of mine!"
Wang Zhiqi put down the binoculars, slapped hard on the windshield of the jeep and shouted angrily at the driver.
Just before yesterday, early in the morning, Wang Zhiqi was the owner of an inn at the edge of the Taklimakan Desert.
But when he received a call from the head of the branch asking him to head out into the desert overnight to capture a woman named Shieh Hongyan, he changed his position and became the main person in charge here in 1973.
As the main person in charge, Wang Zhiqi immediately gathered five people and contacted the local Criminal Law Tribe. After showing his real identity, he borrowed two military jeeps and drove into the Taklimakan desert as fast as he could.
According to the intelligence gathered by Wang Zhiqi, the target would appear in the desert late last night. The target was most likely the Guisha region, the location of the legendary Third World.
As for how the target came to be here, Wang Zhiqi didn't need to think about it. As long as he could be ordered to capture that woman called Shieh Hongyan, it would be fine.
Their target was a beauty, an absolute beauty. They would only need to sleep, and even if they died, they would be willing to give up. It was a pity that she was the most important enemy to them in the past twenty years.
Wang Zhiqi was the same, after he was ordered to bring people into the desert, he immediately rushed over to Guisha's side.
The jeep ran for six hours until the sun rose. Then, two camels appeared in Wang Zhiqi's telescope.
After locking onto the two camel riders, Wang Zhiqi had a strong premonition that among these two people, there was definitely the felon he wanted to capture, Shieh Hongyan.
In fact, his judgement wasn't wrong, especially after he saw Shieh Hongyan raise her hand in a provocative gesture. Wang Zhiqi was thoroughly angered. He waved the pistol and ordered the driver to hurry up!
However, the speed of the car was already the fastest.
It was fortunate that the car behind them was pulling the fuel, otherwise the car would have run out of gas long ago.
Seeing that Wang Zhiqi was very angry, Ding Zi, who was driving the car, didn't dare to make a sound. All he could do was fire the door again.
After about ten minutes or so, the carriage finally arrived at the Guisha area. The two camels, on the other hand, had already disappeared behind a large sand dune.
When the car arrived in front of the clearly defined Guisha area, it was purely out of instinct, so Ding Zi suddenly stepped on the brake.
With a bang, Wang Zhiqi, who had stood up (the jeep didn't have a shed), raised his binoculars and started searching. He crashed into the windshield and almost fell down.
Wang Zhiqi raised his hand and slapped the back of Ding Zi's head. He cursed loudly, "Damn it! Why did you suddenly stop? Did you eat the wrong medicine?"
"Wang, Director Wang."
Ding Zi lowered his eyes and replied to Wang Zhiqi as usual, "The Guisha area is just ahead. We can't go any further."
It seemed like starting from last year, legends said that many people died in the Guisha area, and the majority of them were foreigners.
As for whether it was like that or not, let alone ordinary citizens, even the local Heaven's Manor could not figure it out.
But what was undeniable was that after this legend appeared, many people went to explore the Guisha area (Actually, the more mysterious and dangerous a place was, the more it attracted the attention of energetic people, and the more they desired reputation and so on). However, the locals rarely went in.
Ding Zi could be considered a local.
Wang Zhiqi, who had worked here for four to five years, could be considered a semi-local. Naturally, he knew about these legends, but he had never taken them seriously.
From Wang Zhiqi's point of view, he didn't need to worry about the Black Snake that he could castrate, the black ghosts that would appear at night, and so on. These were the howls made by the local tourism department to promote the local tourism industry.
Taking a step back, even if these things existed, would they be able to withstand the attack of modern weapons?
"Fuck, do you think we're making a sci-fi movie!? "Don't be so long-winded, go in!"
Wang Zhiqi slapped the back of Ding Zi's head again and waved his pistol towards the car behind him, shouting, "All of you, watch out! Don't mistakenly kill the target! Charge!"
Under Wang Zhiqi's command, the two jeeps roared and ran into the Guisha area.
Not far away from the Loulan Ruins that was officially recognized by the authorities, Old Halle, a veteran tour guide, heavily sighed when he saw two cars charge into the Guisha area. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed while saying some strange offerings.
In the face of such unknown danger, one must have an instinctive fear. The closer one got, the more afraid they would be.
After being forced into the Guisha area by Wang Zhi Qi, the corner of his eyes constantly twitched, as if he would see a monster that he had never seen before, emerge from the black and yellow sand, open its mouth wide and swallow them whole, including the car.2
However, when he felt the murderous aura exuding from Wang Zhiqi's body, and the presence of his other companions, his palpitation improved a little.
The four-wheel drive jeep was fast and suited for running in the desert. Soon, it arrived at the nearest large sand dune, then an unobstructed sand dune.
There were no monsters in the desert, so Ding Zi was relieved. He slightly relaxed the throttle and asked Wang Zhiqi, "Director Wang, which way should we go?"
When he asked this question, he did not realize that the two camels that should have been chasing after him were nowhere to be seen.
However, Wang Zhiqi did not ignore them. He saw something he did not want to see at all. Some greyish white bones were placed seven to eight meters in front of the jeep, and a few big words were written on them.
Whoever enters will die!
White bones could have a strong visual impact on a normal person to begin with. Especially since these white bones belonged to a human, because there were several skulls among the white bones that were used to display these words.
Everyone knew that the greatest change in the desert, apart from the uncertain winds and the vastly different temperatures of day and night, was the mobility of the dunes: the desert, like the sea, had no fixed posture, and in one night the dunes would disappear and new dunes would appear.
So, what I left behind in the desert tonight, I don't have much chance of seeing it again on the second day.
From this, it could be inferred that this pile of bones was not laid out yesterday or even earlier, but rather not long ago, perhaps even a moment ago.
But within a few kilometers of the bones, except for the dunes, there was not a single ghost to be seen — so who had placed a pile of bones here?
He even put on the words' those who trespass will die 'in a scary manner.
Ding Zi didn't hear Wang Zhiqi's answer. He raised his head and looked at Shi Yan with a puzzled expression. Then, he followed Wang Zhiqi's line of sight and slowly looked at those bones.
Suddenly, Ding Zi shivered and blurted out, "Director Wang, let's go back!"
"Go back? "Go back where?"
Wang Zhiqi coldly said, "Before we catch our target, no one is allowed to go back. Otherwise, the gun in my hand will get angry. Everyone else, except for the driver, get off the car and carefully search the ground to see if there are any holes!"
As he spoke, he jumped out of the car and walked step by step towards the pile of bones with the gun in both hands.
He walked very carefully, and his gaze was also fixed on the pile of bones. However, he did not discover that after he got off the car, there was something moving underneath the sand.
