Chapter 358 Two Waves of People
Just as Xie Zihao and his group entered the desert, another wave of people also entered the desert.

But they did not enter here through the border of the White Eagle Federation, which would easily attract the attention of the federal government. After all, the monitoring facilities such as satellites in the sky and ground radars are in operation all year round.

They flew to Brother Mo Du's side of the city, and then entered the desert with the equipment smuggled in.After all, most of this desert area is in Brother Modu's territory, and a small part belongs to the federal territory. It may be more inconvenient to walk from Brother Modu's side, but for these, after rigorous training, they have brought enough equipment For people with material goods, there is basically not much difference.

At this time, two extended off-road military vehicles were driving in the vast desert. There were large bags of equipment and supplies on the roof racks, and the trunk was almost full, as well as a large barrel of spare fuel. Reserve in case you run out of fuel and can't get out in the desert.

Although this desert is close to the Golden State Bay and the Pacific Ocean, it forms a unique climate with a double rainy season rainfall pattern in winter and summer, which has won the title of the wettest desert, making it the only desert in the world that is full of vitality.

But if people without sufficient survival skills drift among them, the possibility of survival is still not high.

The point is that there is an even bigger desert in the east of this desert. Once lost in it, even the elite special forces will find it difficult to get out of that land of death alive after their supplies are exhausted.

There were a total of eight people in the two off-road vehicles that broke into the desert, all wearing combat uniforms and helmets. Isn't it hot in here?

And the eight people seem to be as taciturn as the saw-mouthed gourd throughout the whole process, rarely chatting, and only talk when they are in contact through the walkie-talkie. They are as rigid as robots, but this performance can make people know at a glance It is the elite of the elite.

These people all look like white people. If you are familiar with white people, you can see that the appearance of some of them is different from the mainstream Anza people and Germans in Europe and America. There are also many Celtic and Southwestern European races that are different.

The person sitting in the co-pilot picked up the phone, and there was a short message on it. The person's face changed slightly after seeing it, and then he picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a language that is not the mainstream language of the world:

He pointed to the desert ahead and said:
"Archaeologists have discovered that the Hohokam lived freely in today's Phoenix and Tucson as early as the third century AD."

"It's not!"

A group of people got out of the car and walked in the desert, and the driver behind them followed slowly.

In [-], more than seven years ago, in Phoenix, Arizona, next door to the southwestern Golden State of the Commonwealth, when people were building a highway, the bones of [-] Hohokam were dug up from the desert.

Because of the desert landscape, this area was developed later than the eastern and western parts of North America. The first Europeans who came here saw crumbling ruins everywhere.People move the land under their feet casually here, bury a section of sewer or build a section of road, and if they are lucky, they will come across the bones or objects left by the Hohokam.

……

Xie Zihao shook his head and said:
"The Hohokam civilization had actually been dead for many years by the time the colonists set foot on the land. Likewise, they didn't die because of drought, although over 2000 years, from the Lower Golden State to Arizona to the In the northern area of ​​Moduge in the south, a large area is a vast desert terrain, but because of the special environment here, there are still rivers and some vegetation for people to live in, and the Hohokam are also the masters of this desert. I have adapted to life here over the years.”

Seeing everyone's surprised and then stunned expressions, Xie Zihao sighed and said:
"The truth is often so ridiculous! The Hohokam have adapted to the drought in the desert, but they have no experience in dealing with floods. Although it is not known whether the Hohokam survived and migrated to other places after the flood receded, their civilization Extinct indeed, the modern Phoenix was built on the ruins left by the Hohokam."

Suddenly, in the leading off-road vehicle, a satellite phone beeped.

"I don't know why that Mr. Randolph said he was investigating the country of gold. According to what I know, the Hohokam live in the northern part of the desert, which is the area of ​​the Federation. They should also be Hohokam here. Within the range of activities, and after the disappearance of the Hohokam people, there are still aboriginal people living in the Golden State here. These do not seem to have much connection with the Kingdom of Gold. Legend has it that the Kingdom of Gold should be located further south. In the area of ​​Brotherhood of Mexico."

Xie Zihao, as a professional in this field, of course knew about this incident that happened in the neighboring state. At that time, it was considered an important news that caused a sensation in the federal archaeological community.It's just that he never thought about the connection between the Hohokam ruins and the aboriginal tribe he had been to. After all, there is still a distance between the two places.

"According to the research of geologists, the sudden disappearance of the Hohokam people was not due to drought, but to floods. In the winter of [-], there was a rare heavy snowfall in this area, and the melted snow water made Hohokam The civilization of the Kam has been destroyed."

How can there be floods in the desert?
Xie Zihao went on to explain:

Everyone is still curious about the secrets of this ancient civilization. Mike Binns asked in a timely manner:
"Then how did the Hohokam disappear? Was it because of drought or was it extinct by the colonists?"

"The Hohokam actually perished in a great flood!"

The captain of the Special Investigation Bureau is good at this. He dares to speak out. He does not shy away from the fact that the Federals are actually one of the foreign colonists who slaughtered and harmed the aborigines of the New World.

Xie Zihao said happily:
"found it!"

While talking, the paper crane stopped on a piece of sand in front of the crowd, and slowly circled in place.

The faces exposed under their helmets are more or less desert-like, which may be difficult for Orientals to distinguish, but some Europeans and Americans should be able to tell the difference at a glance.

"Intel came from White Eagle's house. A group of people entered the desert from the north. Let's speed up..."

This is an aboriginal civilization that has always lived in the southern part of the North American continent, and unlike the aboriginal tribes in North America with a backward civilization in the impression, before the Europeans came to North America, the Hohokam built a city here and the most complex in the world irrigation canal.

The answer surprised everyone.

The other people in the team looked at the sand in front of them and there was no difference between them, and couldn't help but feel uncertain thoughts in their hearts.

Mike Binns asked again for confirmation:
"Advisor Sherman, are you saying our rescue target, Ralph Randolph, is down here in the sand and alive?"

Xie Zihao nodded calmly but definitely.

"It should be down here, sometimes things are not what they seem."
