The old smoke was sullen, and it was obvious that because of their negligence, Wu San was killed.

But the next few days were unusually calm, and I found that the route taken by Yu Chengze was even slowly consistent with the old smoke map, and I couldn't help but wonder what he wanted to do?

On this day, because the temperature was too high, we could not travel during the day, so we found a back seat to rest and prepare to wait for the evening to go.

Old smoke with the map do not know what to study, on the side of the Yu Chengze also hidden in the corner, holding a notebook silently painted a strange pattern, the atmosphere is relatively dull.

It should be said that since Wu San's death, the atmosphere has been very dull, and almost no one has said anything except the rush and the necessary conversation every day.

Yu Chengze seemed satisfied with such a situation, because he had always had no expression on his face.

“How long?”

At last the old smoke broke the silence and turned to ask the rest of the corner.

Yu Chengze pointed to the map in the old smoke hand, saying that you can't see it?

The old smoke folded the map and said lightly, “This map is not allowed!I don't know why the pit fell back into the ground, the map in front of us is just our guess, but Professor Yu you are different, you escaped from there, you should know more?"

I felt that the old smoke attitude was a little strange, and it seemed that I really regarded Yu Chengze as a partner, and there was no fire in the voice.

Yu Chengze estimated that he was also strange, staring at the old smoke and half-snted: "At that time, I was running like a headless fly in the desert, and it was lucky to save this life, where can I remember the route?"

With the change of the old smoke attitude, Yu Chengze's attitude has also changed, this is the longest sentence he has said since I saw him, the tone is still with a faint helplessness, it seems that really a good person who is not easy to escape from death.

The old smoke said in favor: "That is also said, then how to go the next road, should we discuss it?"

I only know the purpose of the old smoke, if Yu Chengze said remember the route, then the old smoke will certainly ask some things about the ancient country of the long night, until the time Yu Chengze is not easy to say.If he does not remember, that is exactly the same, and the route cannot be determined by him alone.

The face was black, and then nodded his head, which was in agreement.

Then the old smoke gathered with him, studied the map half-way, and finally determined the route to be taken.But after achieving the goal, the old smoke did not look very good, which made me feel a little strange, so after he walked away from Yu Chengze, I went up and asked him if he had a problem with the route he had made.

He shook his head without saying anything, only handing me the map and pointing to one of the routes for me to see for myself.

I held the map and studied for a while, then corresponding the route on the map to reality, and couldn't believe it and looked at the old smoke: "You are all dying?"

Although I don't know what's on this road, if we've been in a no-man's land before, the next place to go deep is the dead zone, and maybe someone can survive from the no-man's land, but I have never heard of anyone coming out of the dead zone.

Seeing the old smoke did not speak, my tone was even more: "At that time, the Air Force could not choose the dead zone as a shooting range?"

"Yes, the Air Force is indeed in no-man's land, but..." said he paused here, as if he did not seem to know how to express it, and finally slowly spat out: "But if we want to go, at least from the dead zone around."

I asked him why, and his hand stroked on the map: “Did you see it now?”

I frowned, and his strangle almost drew out the route we had taken before, and then I found a problem - although we seemed to be going forward all the time, but because of the danger, many times the route was somewhat off, and now the actual route we take now is vaguely an incomplete pattern: a piece of semi-elliptical.

Because of the lack of a piece, I can't see what this pattern is, but if you add the route next to the old smoke, the pattern will be spelled out into a complete oval...

"Look at the Air Force range."The old smoke pointed again, and I found that the place was actually a point in the oval.

I still can’t agree: “Then why don’t we go from the other side?”

On one side of the elliptical side passes through the dead zone, but on the other side is the less dangerous no-man’s land.

Lao Yan pointed to the side of the no-man's land and said, "The people I sent before, including the comrades who came to search for the Sino-Japanese expedition five years ago, are all from here, and you know what it is that they are..."

Of course, I know that according to the old smoke, although the comrades looking for the Sino-Japanese expedition team did not mutate the whole army, they also lost a lot of damage, and the people sent before the old smoke did not return.

“So, I think there may be a glimmer of life in the dead zone!”The old smoke said, "I used to let them avoid the dead zone, because no one knew anything about it, but now it seems that perhaps the most dangerous place is the safest place."

I didn’t say anything because I knew he was gambling too!Although the no-man's land has damaged many people, it also proves that the safety of the dead zone cannot be proved, and the danger in the desert is never relative.

But he is also right, since so many people have been damaged in no-man's land, it may be different to try the dead zone.

“I can only try it.”I returned the map to him, and saw that he had gone to the blind man to explain the course of the line, and his heart felt heavy.

But the blind man was obviously not like me, and his eyes blinked after hearing that he was going to the death zone.

In the evening, the heat finally cleared up, and we packed our things and went on our way.We are now about three or four days away from the dead zone, and old smoke said there should be an oasis nearby, and we will go around to fill the water and then to the dead zone.

In his words, everything is uncertain in the dead zone, and we must be ready for everything!

In these two days, we were on the way at night, rested during the day, and when we walked for two nights, we encountered the old smoke said oasis, but with the stimulation of strange fish, I and the viper did not dare to go up.Or the old smoke to make sure that nothing, we just go up and fill our kettles, and by the way, drink a full.

After half a day in the oasis, we started heading to the dead zone.

It was only two days from the oasis to the dead zone, so we were soon closer to our destination.

These days, Shangze is also very calm, all the decisions on the old smoke are not put down, it seems that only the most ordinary member of us, but I do not dare to take it lightly, because I always feel that after determining the route, his purpose has been achieved...

It was early in the morning when we reached the death zone, and the moon was still hanging in the air, shrouded the dead zone, making it look very mysterious!

"Come in tomorrow during the day and rest first."The old smoke waved, and when the sky was about to dawn, we did not put up the tent again, but wrapped in a sleeping bag and slept.

I don't sleep very safely, after all, the dead zone and we are only one line away, I always feel that there will be something running out in the middle of the night, but unexpectedly this night is very calm, even in the middle of the night in the desert often appear like a ghost crying wind.

When I got up the next day, I found that the old smoke was sleeping very well, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw me: "You went to be a thief at night?"

I wonder how it is possible to sleep well in a place like this?

Old smoke patted his head and said that he was negligent, in fact, the boundaries of the general dead zone and no-man's land are the safest, which is also the rule of nature, and the two places do not interfere with each other, just like the clear river.

I looked at him with resentment, this was the last night before entering the death zone, so important things he forgot?

But it was all over, and it was no use for me to stare my eyes out.

After eating some dry food, we set out, and the moment I stepped into the death zone, my right eyelid jump, only to feel that some bad disaster was going to happen!

But it seems that I thought more about it, that nothing happened on the first day in the Dead Zone, even the sun above us, which made us travel a lot faster.

The next few days were almost the same, if it wasn't endless sand, I suspected that I was not in the desert, I couldn't help but get a little excited.

"Old smoke, don't say, maybe this dead zone is really that ray of life."I took a sip of water, excited.

The old smoke looked up at the sky, he was not so optimistic as me, asked me did not notice what?

I wiped my mouth and said, “I know, what you want to say is that there is no life here, but there is no danger, right?”

I naturally understood what he meant, and before we could find some vegetation and some small animals in the no-man's land, but since I stepped into the dead zone, I found that there was nothing but sand.

The old smoke sighed, "How can there be no danger, the desert itself is a danger."

I didn’t know what he meant, but when I entered the seventh day of the dead, I understood—our water was nearly finished.

Before entering here, each of us filled two large pots of water, along the way can not drink or drink, but the water still slowly saw the bottom, and we did not find any traces of water source.

Not to mention me, even the old hand like the old smoke has not found any traces, which shows that there is really no water in this piece...

Next, everyone drinks more carefully, only dare to pour a layer of water covered with kettle when thirsty, and then carefully licked it, but even then we only insisted on three days without a drop of water.

“What to do?”I licked my dry lips and asked the old smoke.

The whole old smoke was thin, preventing me from licking my lips: "Don't lick, the more you lick it, the more dry you lick."

He looked at the blind man on one side and asked if he could help.

The blind man was silent for half a day and spat out a word: urine!
