The three of them dressed in a hurry and continued to walk west by north along the expressway. The road Hong Tao mentioned was one of the routes he planned when he drove through Lop Nur with the rich man's daughter in his previous life. Although he didn't use it in the end, he still had a general impression.
This road starts from TMG City, inserts obliquely southwestward into the north side of the Tarim Basin, passes through LT County, and finally arrives at the small town of Dunkuotan, which is tens of kilometers south of KC City.
It was originally built to transport oil from the Donghe Oilfield. After the northerly spit and expressway, few people left except for the carts in the oilfield and some off-road enthusiasts. Oh yes, some people will drive along this road to the south of Luntai, and then there will be the famous desert road.
In any case, Hong Tao felt that the Redeemer did not have so much manpower to block dozens or even hundreds of kilometers in the Gobi environment. This road should be able to bypass Kuqa.
After sending these two people away, I will go north from Kuqa and enter the southern section of the Duku Highway. If the mountain collapses or the avalanche is not avalanche, I will go if there is a road, or climb the mountain if there is no road. I can return there within the estimated time. Ratti.
Look, what a good thing to have the best of both worlds, not delaying my exploration of southern borders, but also giving the rebels a big favor in vain. When one day I really come to southern Xinjiang, after meeting, I will never arrest the spies who regard myself as the savior.
Fight as you want between the two forces, and we will not get involved. In the future, if one day the East Asian Alliance really makes a big attack, I will take the Crimean couple to set up camp and go to the same picturesque Kanas Lake to continue grazing.
? If it doesn¡¯t work, just cross the Altai Mountains and enter Russia. There are also good places with rich water and grass, beautiful scenery, and mountains and rivers.
"What are you doing?" After walking for about an hour, Hong Tao gradually fell behind, bending over from time to time to pick something in the thick dust. This made Representative Xu very alert. Is it so blatant to mark the pursuers?
"Make an alarm. If someone chases us from behind, we will be able to hear it from a long distance." Hong Tao didn't feel that his actions were doubtful at all, and he explained it justly.
"Hey hey, don't step on it, your feet will be blown off!" What I didn't expect was that Representative Xu's character was not only tenacious, but also two hundred and five. She ran back, crawled on the ground and looked carefully . Hong Tao was so frightened that he wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to approach.
"Mr. Cao, the herdsmen in Xinjiang really opened my eyes. They are actually equipped with anti-personnel landmines. I think they are used to protect the sheep!"
There was no explosion, and representative Xu obviously knew this well. He crawled on the ground and took a few glances before leaving. He and the man in glasses praised the outstanding people in his hometown with a smile on his face.
"Earth, mine!" The man with glasses acted very petty, his glasses almost fell off the bridge of his nose, and he blinked vigorously, trying to give Hong Tao an X-ray scan of his whole body.
"When I bought the pistol, I got it as a gift from the old man, and I have never been willing to use it. Representative Xu should be able to recognize them. They are all Russian-made butterfly mines. They don't have much power. They just listen to reports and letters." Hong Tao replied so freely, As if she was talking about buying cigarettes, the proprietress thought she was handsome, so she gave a few extra lighters.
"You, who are you!" It's a pity that the man with glasses doesn't have the bearing of Representative Xu, and doesn't believe Hong Tao's nonsense.
"It doesn't matter who I am. If I want to catch the two of you crossing the river, I will do it. If I am afraid that I will find out the location of your accomplices, then we will break up after arriving in Kuqa. In fact, I don't want to go any further. There is absolutely no need for the three of us to find out the details of each other, we should just be the companions we meet on the road, and we can overcome difficulties and obstacles together, okay?"
Hong Tao knew that doing good deeds would be very troublesome. He was always suspected of his motives first and then his ability, and what he got in the end was not necessarily all thanks. But he has this addiction. When he is alone, he still pretends to be the righteous Yuro.
However, it is still necessary to avoid revealing too much identity, resolutely not to say what can not be said, and resolutely not to say what can not be used. Those butterfly mines are really necessary, otherwise I don't know if anyone is catching up behind me. If you really wait to see a team of horses or motorcycles on the vast Gobi, it will be too late to say anything.
"Compare¡¡"
"Biges!"
"Oh, Big Brother, we are not going to investigate your identity, but some things will inevitably make people curious. Mr. Cao should just be a little curious. We have already negotiated the conditions before, and you are the master on the way, just leave as soon as you say." , stop as you say. Curiosity does not prevent us from being friends, and you can also ask us some questions."
Seeing Hong Tao was a little impatient, but Representative Xu was good at smoothing things over, and wanted to talk to Hong Tao to learn more about the situation by exchanging money. In fact, even if she said all the top-secret documents of the East Asian UnionThere is nothing to lose in the end, Hong Tao is going to tell who, who can believe it. It's a small calculation, and it's a bit like Lin Na.
"I don't have much curiosity. If you have energy, use it on your legs and walk faster!" Of course Hong Tao would not be fooled by this, so he stopped talking. But what he said was very good, but he was hesitant to speed up on his legs, and he had to wait for the other two to go ahead before leading the horse to follow.
Hong Tao didn't feel much change in southern Xinjiang when he just passed Korla. At most, there was a little more green along the way, but the Gobi is still the Gobi, with a little wind, and the dust is still flying all over the sky.
But the more we went west, the more weird the scenery became. When we crossed the river, it was about 9:00 in the morning, and at about 3:00 in the afternoon, we finally saw a piece of city ruins. Judging from the number of zombies wandering in the ruins, it should not have been cleaned up. In this short distance of more than 40 kilometers, the terrain along the way has undergone tremendous changes.
The most direct feeling is that there is a lot of water. This road is close to the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the nearest place is less than half a kilometer. Originally, the right side should be the endless bald mountains, but now there is a small stream or river not far away.
The snow melted from the mountains rushes along these gullies and rushes across the roadbed, happily flowing to the other side. As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Where do all these trickles go? Please look to the left.
The left side of the road should have been farmland and orchards, and a little farther away was the Gobi Desert. What now? The farmland has become an endless vegetation that is as tall as a person, including corn and sorghum, but most of them cannot be recognized by Hong Tao, and the heights are scattered and very lush.
The Gobi Desert farther away is about to disappear, but is divided into wetlands and swamps by puddles of water. Now Hong Tao finally knows what the lush plants growing on the roadside are, reeds! Most of the original farmland has been turned into reed marshes on the periphery of the wetland.
The intersection leading to the Donghe Oilfield is still there, but as far as the eye can see, there are piles of reeds in the east and west, and puddles of different sizes. It is difficult to find if you don¡¯t look for it deliberately.
In order to make it more difficult for others to find, Hong Tao also took out pliers and removed the road sign. In fact, it doesn't take much effort to dismantle it or not. The paint on the metal sign has fallen off, let alone the writing.
After arriving here, Hong Tao decided to take a rest. The scenery is rich, but the road is definitely not easy to walk. It is necessary to eat something to build up energy.
Representative Xu's physical strength is really good. She walked for several hours at a relatively fast speed. Apart from being a little tired, she never cried out that she was tired, and she didn't have any leg or foot pain. Obviously, she had undergone rigorous training.
"Those trees don't grow naturally, do they?" But she still showed some girls' curiosity about the scenery in front of her. She would pick a few wild flowers if she had nothing to do, and would not hesitate to ask about plants she didn't know. outing.
"It should be a pear tree. The Korla fragrant pear is very famous in the old world. There should be many pear trees planted in this area, but most of them were drowned. It's a pity that we came at the wrong time. We could see it a few months earlier. Slices of pear blossoms, pears can be eaten in another month!"
The man with glasses didn't seem to know where the woods came from, so he turned his gaze to this side. Hong Tao naturally did his part, this is not a big question, as long as people who have been in the old world, even if they don't know pear trees, they can't forget the sweet and juicy pears.
"Oh, let me tell you that I remembered it. I ate it when I was a child Unfortunately, I forgot the taste. I really want to try the pomegranate from my hometown again Mr. Cao, are there still many pomegranate trees in ks?"
The memory of delicious food in childhood is always profound, and many of them can accompany a person's life. Representative Xu is no exception. Although she left here at a very young age, her memory of the delicious food is still there.
"Much, squeeze a cup of pomegranate juice and chill it in a deep well for a few hours. It is the most delicious drink in summer. There is also yogurt with crushed ice and honey." The man in glasses was also infected by this emotion, with a slight smile on his face smiling, reminiscing about his favorite delicacies together.
"Yes, there are also sour meat, belly meat, pot meat, baked buns" When talking about eating, Representative Xu finally showed the vigor she should have at her age, and counted the tastes she remembered with her fingers , Even with black gauze and goggles, it can't hide the joy of brows.
Hong Tao is also laughing, Xinjiang Province is a large agricultural province, especially rich in dried fruits and fruits. Not to mention cantaloupe and raisins, which are famous all over the country, such as Korla pear, Turkes apple, Kuqa white apricot, ks pomegranate, Shache almond wood, Yecheng walnut, Hotan jujube, aks thin-skinned walnut They are all excellent local specialties, and the output is not very high. Even if they leave the local area, they are probably counterfeit.
"Hush" But he closed his mouth with a smile, stood up suddenly and made a silent movement, turned his head to the east and put his hands on his ears.
"" Seeing Hong Tao's expression, the glasses man and representative Xu immediately became serious. They didn't hear any unusual noises, but they could probably guess what made the sound, mines!?Immediately became serious. They didn't hear any abnormal noises, but they could probably guess what made the noise, mines.
