Gota is a very broad concept, bounded by the Altai Mountains and the Hangai Mountains in the north; It is bordered by the western edge of the Daxing'an Mountains in the east; south to Altun Mountain, North Mountain and Yin Mountain; West to the East Tien Shan Mountains. According to incomplete estimates, there should be 1.3 million square kilometers. In such a wide and inaccessible place, there is a special culture and a special national style, and of course, there are some special things that have not been verified.

Xu Fo is going to Gota, naturally I don't know what his plans are, we tossed and turned, and finally entered Jiayuguan City.

In the 90s, the city of Jiayuguan was not so developed, surrounded by barren mountains and ancient city walls. However, as an important human gathering place in the central area of the Hexi Corridor, it is needless to say that Jiayuguan City is lively.

The weather in Gansu is very dry, especially after near the edge of Gota, the air seems to be filled with sand, I originally thought that this time I would follow Xu Buddha to live in a small hotel, but I didn't expect that we would be greeted immediately after we entered Jiayuguan City. It was a couple of men in blue overalls, the leader with gold-rimmed eyes, dark skin, tall but thin, and dusty leather shoes on his feet.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, thank you so much for coming."

He greeted Xu Fo very warmly, and his expression was very similar to that of Li Jiawang who he met in Jilin. It's all that kind of expression full of expectation and hope that Xu Buddha can solve the problem.

Xu Fu nodded to him slightly, and a few people from behind hurriedly came over to help us carry our luggage, and very enthusiastically took us to a parked Santana.

"Let me introduce myself first, I am the deputy director of the Gansu Provincial Institute of Civil Geology, my name is Wu Bing, these are my colleagues and assistants. We invited you here this time because I know a friend who works in the fifth group of the national brand, and he has made a bridge with it, and told me that you are well-informed and may be able to help us. ”

I didn't understand what he said, but I firmly remembered a few names in the words, especially the fifth group of national brands, which gave me a very special feeling.

"Well, this is my friend's disciple. Now follow me to invest in the rivers and lakes. The situation was written in the letter you sent me before, so do you have any research breakthroughs now? ”

Xu Fo didn't say what it was, which made me even more curious.

"I'll tell you the truth, this time we have made a big discovery, but it's inconvenient to talk about it in the car now, I'll show you when we get to the research institute."

Wu Bing seemed to be very cautious, and his expression gradually became stricter.

In Jiayuguan City, what can be studied on the edge of Gota? Sand? Stone? Antiquities? I guessed all the way, but I never expected that this time I came to Jiayuguan City, which was a big eye-opener.

The car stopped in front of a five-story white building with a white sign hanging at the door. Written: Gansu Provincial Institute of Folk Geology 10th.

The building is still very clean, I can see a few people in white coats walking back and forth, after we got out of the car, Wu Bing beckoned someone to help us carry our luggage, and said: "I will send your luggage to the guest house at the back, if Mr. Xu is hungry, he will eat first." ”

Xu Fo waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look at what you find first, let's go." ”

Wu Bing nodded, beckoned, and several people in white coats immediately walked over, followed Wu Bing and a few of us, and entered the white building, but I found that this white building actually has a basement, and there are stairs leading to the bottom.

"Are you all ready?"

Wu Bing turned around and asked, and someone immediately replied: "It's all ready, it's on the third floor underground." ”

I can't help but guess that there must be some secrets in the basement established by this private organization, and most of them are so mysterious and secretive, and I looked around nervously while walking down, and I could see a lot of dark small rooms on the basement, not big, one next to another, there was no light in it, but I could clearly see some shadows shaking inside, and I didn't know what these shadows were.

On the second basement floor, the lights were a little brighter, but I could hear some shouts from various rooms, although I was far away, but I could tell that these cries were made by humans, and there was some pain and sorrow in the sound.

Then there was the third basement floor, which was our destination, and to my surprise, the third basement floor was very empty, but also very bright, and there were a lot of people gathered, and we walked into a real yàn room under the leadership of Wu Bing, which was full of people wearing white coats with different signs on their chests.

"Did he say it?"

Wu Bing opened his mouth to ask, everyone stopped moving, looked over, and a flat-headed dwarf squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of Wu Bing, still shook his head and said, "I didn't say it, it's still a god's chatter." ”

Wu Bing frowned slightly, and then said, "Take us over first." ”

Following the flat-headed dwarf all the way forward, the crowd around seemed to see Wu Bing very nervous, and walked to the center of the third basement floor, directly in front of which was a white house, and some scattered voices could be heard from the house.

"It's coming, it's coming......" "Why is there no light, why is it so dark?" "Rich, rich, haha!"

It was a hoarse man's voice, and it was indeed a divine chatter, because I didn't understand a word of what he said, and his voice was strange, as if he were talking to himself, but I couldn't understand what he was saying. Mixed with talents.

"Before I go in, I'll give you a brief remark."

Wu Bing gave the flat-headed dwarf a look as he spoke, and the latter immediately dispersed the crowd around him, and only then did Wu Bing say: "Our ten institutes are considered a non-governmental organization, and they basically rely on the funding of some wealthy people or public welfare groups to carry out research and development work. Gansu is a large province with a particularly long history, and it is true that we have found a lot of valuable information here, but this time what we encountered was the largest and most mysterious event in the history of our ten institutes. About three years ago, we organized an expedition to Gota to find some ancient tombs or relics hidden inside Gota. But unexpectedly, on the first night of entering, there was a sandstorm, which was something we didn't expect, because according to our observations before departure, it should have been sunny weather. When the sandstorm came quickly, our team was scattered, and it was not until five days later that everyone gathered again to find that there was one person missing, and this person was me. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Bing paused, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and said: "When the electronic equipment on my body was destroyed, even the map was left in the wind and sand, but fortunately, after the sandstorm, my location is near an oasis, Gota is not compared to other large deserts, although the desertification is strict, but after all, Gota was a good place with abundant green grass thousands of years ago, and it is not uncommon to leave an oasis." I stayed in the oasis, waiting for the search and rescue team to arrive, only to make a very unexpected discovery. I found some weird skins in that oasis. ”

At this point, his words seem to really get to the point.

"Skins?"

I was fascinated by what I listened to, and I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, some of the skins, like old skins of snakes or insects, but they are very large in daily quantities, and they are so tough that even if I cut them with a knife, I could only tear a small one. And, to tell you the truth, I've never seen these skins before, they're very large, stretching for at least ten meters, and I'm thinking about what animal on the Gota can grow to more than ten meters. In a place like Gota, the smaller the living room, the longer it will last, and even a snake can't grow to more than ten meters. ”

When Wu Bing said this, Xu Fo suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "This is not good, some things cannot be regarded as beasts." Isn't there a monster that has been rumored to be in Gotari for a long time? ”

As soon as these words came out, I didn't react, but the flat-headed short man next to me suddenly blurted out in surprise: "Death worm!" ”R832
