    "Is there really a destiny somewhere?"

    Meng Zitao shook his head secretly. He still didn't believe this in his heart. Besides, it was obviously impossible to retreat now.

    Meng Zitao and his party are all elites, and the small sandstorm did not have much impact on them. After the sandstorm passed, everyone gathered together and continued moving forward.

    After walking for more than an hour, the advance troops came back and reported that a body was found not far ahead.

    Meng Zitao and others hurried over and found that the body was dehydrated, indicating that it had been dead for a while, but considering the desert environment, it should not have been long.

    Judging from the wounds on the body, the man died from a sniper gun, a fatal shot.  This conclusion made everyone somewhat nervous.

    In addition, Meng Zitao also discovered that apart from his clothes, he didn¡¯t even have any luggage on him, which had obviously been taken away.

    Meng Zitao said: "Go ahead and see if there are any other discoveries within a hundred meters radius."

    Several security guards went to investigate. After a while, everyone brought back the news and found nothing.

    We are not disappointed. We have just passed through a sandstorm. Even if there are traces, they will disappear.

    After that, everyone continued to set off. Because of the corpse, the team also became cautious. In such an empty desert area, even if the opponent only has a sniper gun, it is still very threatening, not to mention that the opponent may be a soul-hunting guard.  A person with more than one sniper gun in his hand.

    Because of the sandstorm, all traces were blown away, and everyone could only move forward according to the original plan. However, after walking for another day, they still could not find any place related to "February of Heaven and Earth".

    This point made Meng Zitao somewhat anxious.  Everything had been calm since the discovery of the body, but he felt that this was just the calm before the storm. It was very likely that a fierce conflict would break out in the next moment.

    In the evening, the team camped behind a small sand dune. Everyone set up tents. Someone was responsible for guarding the surroundings, and someone was responsible for the food. Smoke curled up from the kitchen, and after a while, the smell of food gradually came.

    "Team Meng, how long are we going to keep going like this?" The speaker was Professor Qi, one of the two professors. He specializes in archaeological history and also has extensive research on ancient countries.

    "Professor Qi, just like the answer I gave you before departure, I don't have any definite answer for you now." Meng Zitao said.

    Professor Qi frowned slightly: "Are we just going to keep going like this?"

    Meng Zitao nodded: "If we can't find clues, we really can only do this. It's normal for this mission to fail. I hope you can understand."

    Professor Qi scratched his head and looked helpless, but he had also asked Meng Zitao before, but Meng Zitao didn't reveal anything about it.  There was nothing he could do.

    ¡°Captain Meng, if you have any news, please let me know.¡±

    "Definitely."

    After Professor Qi chatted with Meng Zitao for a few words, he said goodbye. Meng Zitao noticed that he came to another professor and whispered a few words, shook his head and said nothing more.

    Not only them, after walking for such a long time, Meng Zitao couldn't find any useful clues, and he was also very upset. However, there was nothing he could do about it. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. Originally, he was still thinking about whether he could find the soul-seeking guard.  people, but so far, except for the corpse, I have not encountered anything related to the soul-searching guards.

    At this time, Dajun came over and informed him that it was time to have dinner.

    ¡°Dajun, what do you think ¡®February of Heaven and Earth¡¯ means?¡± Meng Zitao asked as he walked.

    "Could it be the reflection of the moon and the water?" Da Jun asked.

    Meng Zitao said: "I have thought about this too, but where we are now, if we want to find the water source, we need to pass through the hinterland? The population there is not sparsely populated. It should have been discovered when the road was built."

    Dajun said: "Maybe there is a hidden water source. We have encountered this kind of situation before."

    "It's hard to find a place like this"

    When Meng Zitao was talking about this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He smelled the aroma of the food and immediately warned: "Everyone put down the food in your hands, don't eat it, and spit it out if you have already eaten it!  "

    After finishing speaking, he said to the army: "Quickly control the person in charge of food today, so there won't be any accidents!"

    Dajun nodded with a serious expression and immediately did as Meng Zitao said.

    Fortunately, Meng Zitao reminded him in time, and only a few people had already eaten dinner, and they also followed Meng Zitao¡¯s instructions.As he said, they vomited out the food. Even so, they were still affected and expressed that they were all groggy and wanted to sleep.

    Meng Zitao examined them and found that the poison only had a hypnotic effect, and they only needed to sleep for a while.

    On the other side, Dajun brought over those in charge of food. They seemed very nervous and said that they had not poisoned.

    After interrogation, Meng Zitao indeed found no evidence or motive for their poisoning, so he asked people who had contact with them if they had any strange movements, but they all said they could not remember it.

    When I asked San, I didn't know that everyone wanted to take them a meal. There was no way, they could only expand the scope of the investigation.

    After being busy until around nine o'clock in the evening, Da Jun went to find Meng Zitao with the information: "These are all suspects, but there is no conclusive evidence."

    "No evidence is needed." Meng Zitao waved his hand: "Contact the superiors, change a group of people, and take them all back for interrogation."

    Meng Zitao¡¯s proposal was undoubtedly the safest and most efficient method. Dajun immediately took out his satellite phone to contact the department.

    "ah!"

    At this moment, a frightened scream suddenly came from the camp. Meng Zitao rushed out of the tent and ran to the scene of the incident, and found that the person who made the sound was Professor Qi.

    "Professor Qi, what's wrong?" Meng Zitao asked.

    Professor Qi said with some lingering fear: "I just saw the shadow of a man outside the tent, and he seemed to have a knife in his hand. I was so frightened that I screamed."

    At the end of the sentence, Professor Qi blushed and felt very embarrassed.

    Professor Qiu next to him said: "When Lao Qi shouted, I also took a look, and there was indeed a shadow flashing past outside."

    "Which way did you run?"

    "That direction."

    Meng Zitao looked in the direction pointed by Professor Qiu, and saw a dark figure running quickly under the moonlight. He was very fast, and ran down a sand dune in the blink of an eye, unable to see clearly where he went.

    Meng Zitao led everyone towards the sand dune where the black shadow disappeared. When Meng Zitao chased him to the sand dune, the sight in front of him surprised him. There was not even a single footprint left on the sand. Could it be that the man was a ghost?  ?

    Meng Zitao was sure that the person just now was a living person. As for the lack of footprints, he must have used a special method. He walked down the sand dune, squatted down to check, and indeed found some traces.

    Next, he and his men followed the traces and chased him. After running about two kilometers, he suddenly made an exciting discovery. Not far ahead, there was a pool, and there was a pool in that pool.  A unique feature is that the overall shape is very much like a crescent moon.

    Is this pool the so-called "February of Heaven and Earth"?

    Meng Zitao went over to check and found that this place was very similar to the Crescent Spring in the "Eight Scenic Spots of Dunhuang". It was surrounded by reeds, Populus euphratica and other sand-growing wild grasses, forming an oasis in the desert.

    And, like Crescent Moon Spring, the water here has not decreased, and it is likely that it has also come to groundwater.  However, the current water level of Crescent Moon Spring has dropped sharply, and it can only exist through artificial water replenishment. However, this place is still very natural, giving people a feeling of vitality.

    Meng Zitao took a handful of water and tasted it. It was very refreshing and sweet. After packaging it and selling it in the market, it will definitely be very popular.

    All this is secondary. There is one key thing that Meng Zitao can't figure out. Why does the black shadow come here? Or is it that the black shadow doesn't know about it and it's just a blind cat that encountered a dead mouse?

    All this will be known only by catching that person.

    The discovery of "February in Heaven and Earth" is undoubtedly good news for Meng Zitao. He is very likely to find the location of the "Land of Hope" based on the directions.

    But the appearance of ghosts, including the fact that everyone was almost poisoned while eating, also attracted his attention. There were many lunatics among the soul-hunting guards. If there was a sudden attack, he might survive, but others would have to rely on luck.  .  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
