Mrs. Du blew up again

Chapter 122 Loulan Ancient City (1)
After walking for three days in a row, we can no longer describe our current state of distress with the wind and dust. Everyone's belts have been tightened a few times, but we still can't help the hunger in our stomachs.

At noon on the fourth day, we rested where we were, and I distributed the food to everyone and sat down in front of Fengzi and the others.

Holding the compass in her hand, Fengzi muttered to herself: "Strange, why is it wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Fengzi raised his head and pointed at the compass in his hand with an ugly face: "Look, we have always been heading southeast according to reason, why does the direction displayed now seem to be heading north?"

Yang Saonian exclaimed: "Fengzi, stop joking, is your compass broken? Take mine to see!"

Yang Saonian immediately took out his compass from his backpack, and after comparing it for a while, his expression changed: "Really...it's really wrong, mine is also pointing to north, what happened?"

I suddenly remembered Yun Muchen's translation of Ku'er's words a few days ago, and I hurriedly turned my head and asked Yun Muchen, "Could it be the reason for the displacement of the terrain?"

Yun Muchen slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, and he was silent for a while before speaking: "There are two possibilities."

Everyone asked in unison: "Which two possibilities?"

Yun Muchen looked at us: "Perhaps it is really the movement of the terrain that made us lose our way. We were supposed to go southeast, but we went in the opposite direction, but we can't ignore one point. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The weather for these three days is normal. If we It’s impossible to go in the opposite direction without noticing.”

Fengzi asked: "What about the second possibility?"

Yun Muchen reached out to take the compass from Fengzi: "The second possibility is that there is an unknown magnetic field interference, causing the compass to fail."

After all, Fengzi has been in the XJ land all year round, and quickly accepted Yun Muchen's opinion: "It is not impossible for the compass to fail. There are many places in Lop Nur that emit a special magnetic field. If we walk into it, we will be disturbed. Compared with the latter possibility, the first possibility is much smaller. In the past few days, I have been paying attention to the direction of the sun every day. Logically, we should not be unaware that we are going in the wrong direction.”

Ding Linglong had a pretty face: "If we go in the wrong direction and everyone is finished, then what shall we do next?"

I lowered my head and pondered for a while and said, "I think we should go on the road according to the original plan."

Ding Linglong looked at me and said, "You have to think about it, we are now at the intersection of life and death, and every road is 50.00% dangerous. So we must not jump to conclusions rashly."

"Xiaoying, tell me why you chose to move forward." Fengzi asked for my opinion seriously.

I smiled and said: "Even if this place really has legs and can move, the sun's rising and setting will not deceive us. In fact, I don't agree with Miss Ding's 50.00% probability of life and death. Let's go southeast." Go, pay attention to the changes of the sun at all times, just like what Fengzi said just now, if we go in the opposite direction for no reason, it is impossible to not notice it at all, so I think there is a 70.00% chance of sticking to the same road at this intersection The success rate, of course, is just my opinion, as for how we go, it still depends on everyone’s opinion.”

Yang Saonian reached out and patted me on the shoulder: "I support Xia Xiaojian's views on this matter, and I also think that we can't change the direction at will at present, and if we make a mistake, we really won't be able to get out."

Fengzi hesitated for a while, then looked up at Yun Muchen: "Muchen, tell me your opinion."

Yun Muchen glanced at me: "I support Xia Xiaoying."
