Chapter 426: Chapter 426, terror! Footprints in the middle of the night!
Translator: 549690339
That night, the expedition team set up camp next to the sand dune.
Ning Fei did not set up a tent. The space behind his car was large enough, and there was also a quilt. It was very comfortable to sleep.
However, he still helped the others set up the tent.
After setting up the tent, Lin Tao and Liu Wu climbed onto the sand dune to explore. The other members of the expedition team took out hot food and began to cook.
Everyone brought a lot of supplies, including ham sausages and mineral water.
The conditions of the archaeological team were very good, and the budget given by the higher-ups was also sufficient, so there were no problems with food and drink.
After dinner, Ning Fei also came to the sand dune.
This sand dune was very high. It looked like it was about ten meters tall. They needed to go around it and climb up from the side.
At this time, the Sun was setting in the west.
The archaeological team was inspecting the road conditions and studying the archaeological route for the next day.
Ning Fei sat on the sand dune and looked at the setting sun in the distance.
The drone was also broadcasting the setting sun.
In the entire scene, there was only a golden color.
The Golden Sun, the Golden Desert, and the Golden Road.
The scene was very beautiful.
“It’s going to be night.”
“The desert at night is very scary.”
“There are often strange sounds in the desert. The strong wind passes through the weathered rocks, like the cry of a hoarse child.”
“In the early years of Luo Bu Po, there were some terrible rumors.”
“It was said that if they didn’t leave the desert at night, they would be taken away by some unclean things.”
Ning Fei looked at the setting sun and said slowly.
“Abbey Dean Ning, stop talking. I’m So Scared!”
“It’s a little scary!”
“I’ve heard that the desert at night is very scary!”
“Is there really… a Ghost?”
“There are many strange incidents in Lop Nur. The number one explorer in China, Yu Chunshun, the famous scientist Peng Jiamu, and many other people have died here.”
“Yes, the ancient city of Loulan is not far from here.”
The netizens agreed one after another.
At this moment, Lin Tao came to Ning Fei’s side.
“Abbey Dean Ning is in a good mood. The scenery is indeed beautiful.”
Lin Tao laughed out loud, appearing extremely polite.
He gestured for the drone. Ning Fei understood and turned off the drone’s voice system so that the netizens could not hear what they were talking about.
“Professor Lin, did you find any traces?”Ning Fei stood up and asked.
“Not for the time being. Let’s look at it tomorrow.”Lin Tao waved his hand.
“Oh right, there’s something I need to trouble you with. See if it’s convenient.”
Hearing Lin Tao’s words, ning fei replied, “What is it? Please tell me.”
“I see that the trunk of your car is quite big. You know how it is in the desert at night. It’s too noisy. It’s inconvenient for a girl like Xue Fang. Let her sleep in your car.”
“Don’t worry. She has her own sleeping bag. It Won’t take up too much space.”
Lin Tao said.
This request was very normal. When they went out to explore, they really wouldn’t pay too much attention to it. Moreover, everyone was busy with serious matters, so they wouldn’t think too much.
Ning fei nodded and said, “No problem. It’s no big deal.”
“But, Professor Lin, I don’t quite understand. There is a certain risk in this archaeological expedition. Why did Xue Fang come out with the archaeological team?”
Ning Fei’s question was very normal. It was very difficult for the archaeological team to go out for archaeology. It was always inconvenient to bring a girl along, and it was also easy to encounter danger.
Lin Tao did not hide it and replied,
“Xue Fang is the daughter of a friend of mine. That friend of mine lost her life in order to save me back then.”
“Within the system, you need some honor to be able to live a carefree life.”
“This discovery is probably a big discovery, so I brought her out.”
“Of course, she is also very hard-working, not worse than a boy.”
Hearing Lin Tao’s answer, Ning Fei also nodded his head.
No one could insta-kill such things as the ways of the world.
Then, the sky became darker and darker.
Ning Fei turned off the live broadcast and got into the car to rest.
Xue Fang also came up with a sleeping bag. She looked a little reserved and shy, but going out to archaeology was very hard, so no one was in the mood to think about that. That day, they went to bed early.
The next morning, Ning Fei got up early.
He opened the trunk and got out of the car. He saw that the bottom half of the tent of Lin Tao and the others had been completely buried by sand.
It could be seen how big the wind and sand were at night in Lop Nur.
But at this time, Ning Fei’s expression changed.
“What’s that? !”
He took a few steps forward.
At this moment, Lin Tao heard Ning Fei’s movements and walked out of the tent.
“What’s Wrong?”
Following that, the members of the expedition team walked out one after another.
When they saw Ning Fei’s discovery, everyone’s expressions became interesting.
“There are a few footprints here.”
“From the shape, it looks like human footprints!”
“There weren’t any yesterday.”
“In any case, something came here last night.”
Ning Fei squatted down and looked at the soil under the sand dune.
The quicksand in the desert was constantly moving, so there were no traces left on the sand.
However, at the bottom of the sand dune, there were some hard rock layers and mixed soil.
It was precisely these rock layers that could preserve the footprints.
“Liu Wu, take a look at the video. Did you get anything?”
Lin Tao’s expression was not very good.
They were here to study archaeology.
Now that something was approaching the tent in the middle of the night, they did not even notice it!
Fortunately, Lin Tao was also prepared. There was a small camera tied to the tent to record what happened during the night.
Everyone gathered together and looked at the image captured by the camera.
At night, it was pitch black outside the tent and the light was very dim.
However, everyone still saw a pitch black figure with a hunched back. He sneakily walked to the edge of the tent and leaned on the tent to look inside.
Then, he leaned on the windows of every SUV to look at the scene inside.
Seeing this scene, the members of the archaeological team felt a chill down their spine!
This scene was too scary!
Late last night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, there was such an unknown thing running around their camp!
If ordinary people were to experience such a scene, they would probably be scared out of their wits!
“These apes are so active now!”
“There hasn’t been any unusual activity in lop nor for hundreds of years. Why do these apes keep coming out these days?”
“Where do they live? Why do they come out?”
Liu Wu adjusted his glasses and looked at the footprints.
Hearing his words, Lin Tao said, “These are the answers we need to find.”
Then, he shouted to everyone,
“Everyone, hurry up and wash up. Pack your things. After breakfast, we’ll go up and take a look.”
In the morning, Ning Fei and the archaeological team went to the sand dune to explore. At the same time, he also turned on the live broadcast.
The netizens quickly entered Ning Fei’s live broadcast room.
Regarding Ning Fei’s expedition, the outside world’s attention was very high.
After all, the leader of the archaeological team, Lin Tao, was also a famous archaeological god.
In addition to Ning Fei’s fame, it was difficult for them not to be noticed during this expedition.
Everyone looked over from the camera lens of the drones.
The members of the exploration team were all wearing straw hats and carrying brown hiking bags. At the same time, they were all wearing masks.
The six people spread out and formed a hexagonal shape as they explored the ground carefully.
“We found traces of humanoid creatures in this area.”
“In a desert like Lop Nur, it is absolutely impossible for humanoid creatures to appear.”
“The biggest possibility is that there’s a relic in this area that hasn’t been discovered by humans.”
“What we’re looking for now is this relic.”
Ning Fei explained to the drone as he searched.
The netizens became extremely excited when they heard Ning Fei’s words.
[ Abbey Dean Ning said that there’s a relic in Lop Nur? ]
[ so this is the archaeological team’s Goal! ]
“Oh my God, there are relics in the desert!”
“This is amazing.”
Ning Fei was exploring on the sand dunes. According to his experience, if there really was an underground city, it would not be in the desert because the sand was constantly flowing.
And in this area where they were, there were many mounds, which were like towering hills everywhere.
This was a forest of mounds!
The only place where the entrance could appear was under the mounds.
Therefore, they needed to carefully investigate every area of the mounds.
At this moment, Ning Fei’s skill, danger perception, suddenly sensed something.
“There’s Danger!”
His expression changed.
Then, he looked into the distance.
He saw dark clouds in the distant horizon. It looked like there was a storm!
“What is that? A Storm?”
“There’s no storm in the desert!”
The netizens couldn’t help but exclaim when they saw this scene through the live broadcast.
The weather, which was originally scorching hot, suddenly turned dark!
Then, they heard Ning Fei’s deep voice:
“Oh no, it’s a sandstorm!”
