Catastrophe

Chapter 42: deep into the desert

Outside the fortress, guard post No. 17.

After seeing Kang Wenyao in the office, Xiao Qi took the initiative to put two cigarettes on the table: "Captain Kang, I know you like filter-tipped cigarettes, so I brought you two, and these money, you can take a cigarette winter clothes."

"Golden Thread Cactus, this kind of cigarette is rare in refugee areas." Kang Wenyao glanced at the two cigarette packages, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Although there were cigarettes in refugee areas, most of them were tobacco leaves smuggled out of the fortress. , The dry smoke made by the market town's tobacco dealers mixed with hay and dry leaves is extremely choking.

"Hehe, the reason why I can live safely in the market town is entirely due to Captain Kang's guidance. The things I gave you must be the best in my hands." Xiao Qi grinned and responded very well.

"In this way, we still have two buckets of water in our backyard. You can take it away later. It's my gift in return." Kang Wenyao was very happy to be held by Xiao Qi, and a smile appeared on his face. Although the refugee area was short of water, The water supply in the fortress is still sufficient. Even if the law enforcement team is not welcomed by the management, the material supply is still implemented in accordance with the standards in the city.

"Yo! Then I'll thank you! Recently, I'm saving water for the winter!" Xiao Qi and Kang Wenyao said a few words, and then walked into the topic like a chat: "By the way, Team Kang, I heard that Ning Zhe, who was caught by you yesterday with a gun, seems to have been released?"

"Why did we let it go? It was taken away by the mercenary troops!" Kang Wenyao mentioned this matter, but he was also at a loss: "Ning Zhe was taken away, but there was a friend next to him who was detained at 11.11. Outpost!"

"As far as I know, mercenaries are rarely involved in refugee affairs. How could they target Ning Zhe's grandson?" Xiao Qi was at a loss: "Ning Zhe will not be recruited by mercenaries, right?"

"Our law enforcement team and mercenaries are two systems. I don't know about them, but mercenaries will never recruit people in the refugee class." Kang Wenyao narrowed his eyes: "It is estimated that the mercenaries should be looking for him. What's the matter, because yesterday he was tortured by the mercenaries from me, it seems that the mercenaries didn't believe him, otherwise, he wouldn't have detained his friends!"

"Hehe, that's right!" Xiao Qi finally felt relieved after hearing that Ning Zhe and the mercenary were not close.

...

Fort No. 87 is located in the wild land in the northern part of the Federation. It was built on a Gobi Desert. In recent years, the desert has been expanding and swallowing the land of the Gobi. When Ning Zhe was a child, it took more than a dozen years to walk from the market town to the edge of the desert. kilometers, but now it is only about seven or eight kilometers apart.

The convoy chased the wolf dung all the way to the edge of the desert, and then disappeared. The strong wind at night was enough to change the landscape of the desert, flattening and stacking the dunes.

"Squeak!"

As the lead car in the convoy stopped, Ye Peng got out of the car wearing military boots to inspect for a week, pointed to a direction in the distance and said, "Everyone continue to move, the movement trajectory of the wolves is to the east!"

"No! The wolves didn't go to the east!" Ning Zhe heard Ye Peng's instructions, turned over and jumped out of the car, stretched out his finger and pointed to the right direction: "If you want to keep up with the wolves, you have to go south!"

"Are you crazy? Or are you blind?" Ye Peng turned to look at Ning Zhe, and pointed impatiently at a string of feces on the ground: "Can't you see it? According to the trajectory of the feces, these wolves have been walking all the time. It's all straight!"

"The feces left by wolves in straight tracks are for humans to see! They know that the feces on the Gobi Desert cannot be hidden, but once we enter the desert, it will be difficult for us to find their traces! Wolves are very smart Animals, they won't let people track their ethnic groups through such simple clues!" Ning Zhe and Ye Peng looked at each other and shared their experience.

"Joke, do you think that these animals have human intelligence? Do you still know how to adjust tigers away from mountains?" Ye Peng heard Ning Zhe's response, as if he had heard a joke, his tone mocked.

At this time, Xie Guangkun also brought Pei Xiangtong and Gao Shengrong over, and looked at the two people who were at a stalemate: "What are you arguing about! Did you encounter any problem?"

"Professor Xie! In my opinion, this kid is a deceived guy! He actually told me that the feces left by these wolves are to confuse the public, not only rejected my idea of ​​tracking the east, but also determined Said that the wolves went to the south! Isn't this nonsense?" Although Ye Peng looked down on intellectuals like Professor Xie, he did not dare to show it to his face, and his attitude was quite polite.

"Do you have any basis for saying that?" After Xie Guangkun heard Ye Peng's words, he cast a questioning look at Ning Zhe.

"It's just intuition. I just don't believe that a creature as cunning as a wolf would leave such obvious traces. When the wolves attacked the town before, I encountered them. These beasts even took away the corpses of their companions. I don't want to expose the traces and ethnic groups!" Ning Zhe looked at Xie Guangkun firmly: "They have a high chance of going to the south!"

"Hehe, a refugee, who doesn't even know a single big character, are you pretending to be mystical here? Do you know how precious fuel is? Is it just based on your intuition that you should let so many of us go to the desert with you? Turn?" Gao Shengrong didn't want to miss any chance to ridicule Ning Zhe: "Then why didn't you say that the wolves went to the north?"

"Because the north is a large desert, the wolves cannot survive there!" Ning Zhe said coldly.

"Captain Ye, listen to him, the team is heading south." Xie Guangkun pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"Professor Xie, don't you really think this kid's **** makes sense?" Ye Peng's face suddenly turned gloomy~lightnovelpub.net~ I'm not a zoologist, and I don't understand the habits of beasts, but I think, Ning Zhe has more experience than us fortress people, and this is the purpose of our search for guides. "Xie Guangkun shook his head slightly and spoke calmly.

"Boy, you'd better pray that your intuition is accurate, otherwise once you let me prove that you didn't play the role you should have, I'll throw you in the desert without hesitation!" Ye Peng threw Ning Zhe viciously. The next sentence, began to tell the convoy to head south.

Ning Zhe didn't take Ye Peng's threat seriously. If these guys really planned to throw themselves in the desert, I'm afraid it's hard to say who is more dangerous, but Xie Guangkun has aroused his interest more and more. A scientist who came out of a fortress had no knowledge of animals, but wanted to pursue wolves.

WFP Institute!

Seeds in the wolf's stomach!

Combining these two things, Ning Zhe vaguely guessed the purpose of Xie Guangkun. Although it is impossible to cultivate outside the fortress No. 87, I heard that there is not only cultivated land in the fortress, but also built indoors, which can be carried out all year round. Planted crop greenhouses can use plant growth lights to replace sunlight for photosynthesis of crops, which are all technological means left over from the old world.

Because Ning Zhe needs to constantly look for the traces left by the wolves, the vehicles of the scientific expedition team are not moving very fast in the desert, but Ning Zhe and Fatty Li are still shaken by the edge of the car bucket and retching. This was the first time they had traveled long distances by car, so they suffered from severe motion sickness, but Tu Shi and Ren Jiao didn't react. ?
