The mysterious and ancient Orient has a fascinating culture and history. When the Western powers tore the veil of the East by force, their scientific research on the East never stopped. Even in this war-torn era, they still can't stop their research.

When the sun sets, a few miles away from Lop Nur, there is such a team of scientific researchers. A group of more than a dozen people, all wearing green military uniforms and carrying big backpacks, struggled to move forward in the desert.

In the desert, the most dangerous thing is at night. Not only the temperature plummeted, but there were also various dangerous poisonous insects and beasts. However, they can't care about this at the moment, and they desperately want water. If they can't find any more water, they'll die of thirst.

"What the hell is this, you can't use a compass." A young man in the team said.

"The dangers of the desert always catch us off guard." Another man said.

"Let's stop talking, save our energy, and keep walking, I have a hunch that we should soon find the oasis." A man in his thirties and forties said, looking like the leader of the team.

The team began to fall silent again, and they continued on. The sun is about to set, the temperature is much lower, and even the sand is not so hot.

Walking, walking, walking, they walked until nightfall, and they did not see the water source, let alone the oasis. They were so exhausted that they could no longer take a single step, and even standing was a luxury. Some people have even begun to despair, they feel that they will not be able to get out of this desert, even if they find a water source, they will not be able to get out. When people are desperate, it seems that any hope they can imagine is hopeless.

The starry sky in the desert is especially bright, especially tonight, when it shines like a light.

When looking up at the starry sky, it reminds people of their hometown and their relatives. And these exhausted people, lying on the sand, looking at the starry sky, watching the starry sky gradually emerge their hometown, their wives, their children, their parents.

The corners of their mouths cracked into happy and satisfied smiles, and their expressions were a little sluggish, as if they wanted to close their eyes in this happiness.

"Don't sleep." I don't know who roared, and everyone woke up.

But they don't have the strength to ask why they don't sleep, or even to think about why they shouldn't. Like a soulless shell, they looked ahead with dilated pupils, their eyes rolling as if trying to find the person who was speaking.

"Professor Keppt, what's wrong?" A weak voice rang out, hoarse and so hoarse that the dry and cracked earth immediately appeared in front of the listener's eyes.

Professor Keput was the leader of the team, the oldest and most knowledgeable member of the team. The last sip of water in the group was drunk by Professor Kept, so he was in the best shape.

"It's strange here, we can't sleep, I'm afraid we won't wake up as soon as we fall asleep. Desert nights are dangerous, and even if we had to sleep, we couldn't sleep like that. Professor Keput said.

People want to live, and they want to struggle to get up when they hear Professor Kepter's reminder, but they don't have the strength anymore, and they can't even grab a handful of sand.

"Professor, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out. It's a pity that we haven't found the pearl of the desert yet, so we want to see how beautiful this lake is. “

"I... Also.. I want to, but... I would like to ... Look at me.. Wife. “

As soon as these words fell, the ranks became deadly silent.

Professor Keepter's eyes were filled with remorse and sadness, and it was he who led them to death. Professor Keput prayed silently in his heart, God, everything is my fault, punish me if you want to punish, these children are innocent. It's my intent on studying this mysterious desert lake, and it has nothing to do with them.

I don't know if the God of the West can hear the call of his followers in the Far East.

The night was quiet, and the dangers of the desert began to fall. The little things that have been dormant for a day are about to start going out to forage for food.

Scorpions are definitely one of the most feared things in the desert. They are also called spiders, and snakes.

The sound of rustling slowly blurred the fear in this team. They wanted to flee, they wanted to set up their tents, but they were desperately short of water. I don't even have the strength to catch the sand and scare the rats away.

It seems that they should accept their fate, what else is there to resist, isn't the end doomed, they will definitely not be able to survive this night safely. But they are not reconciled, they are not willing to die like this, to die in a foreign land. They still have a good year, and they still have families, and they can't let go.

The starry sky and the moon seem to be getting brighter, is it a send-off for them?

The next moment, however, they saw something unthinkable, and for a moment they suspected that it was a delusion before they died.

The starry sky lit up the desert, and the sand dunes that had been in front of them were gone.

"Green... Oasis? Professor Keppt's voice was filled with excitement and disbelief. In front of him, under the bright starlight, a beautiful lake appeared in front of his eyes.

"Water."

I don't know who shouted, and everyone's eyes looked over. They saw the most beautiful scenery in the world, a lake shrouded in starlight and mist, and the starry sky above the lake was as bright as they had ever seen. One by one, they shimmered with eternal brilliance, sprinkled with inextinguishable light, and all fell into the lake, as if the lake was transformed by starlight.

The beauty here is not like ordinary dust, it is not that they have entered the fairyland by mistake.

They all saw the water, and they didn't know where the strength came from, and they all struggled to their feet, and stumbled towards the lake that should only exist in heaven.

Even if it's an illusion, even if it's a mirage, even if it's hell, they will run without hesitation, and the word water has completely washed away all their sanity.

The lake looked very close, close at hand, but it was so far away that they couldn't run away. But they didn't give up, they didn't stop, their faith was sustaining them, and their souls were telling them that it was their only life.

It's close, it's close. They read that right, it's really the lake. They already felt the cool breeze with the slightest moisture, and they couldn't wait to open their mouths, as if the wind was blowing into their throats and moistening their throats.

They all seemed to be infused with a lot of strength, and they ran a little faster. Seeing the lake getting closer and closer to them, they couldn't be more excited. At this moment, they have nothing in their eyes but the lake, and they can't see anything.

The lake is really beautiful, and the starlight is everywhere, like silk, fluttering in the wind. Reflecting the lake, it is as bright as the starlight, and the Milky Way in the sky shines brightly.

They finally reached the edge of the lake, where the starlight was so intense that they could reach out and hold a bouquet. They had never seen anything like it, and the stars could fill their hands.

And the starry sky above their heads is also different from the outside. The arrangement is orderly, not much larger than the outside, but it makes people feel close at hand, as if you can reach out and pick one.

But they can't care about that anymore, water is what they want most. They ran to the lake, but there was a gentle force in the shadows that stood in their way.
