1959, Lop Nur.
A scientific expedition team tasked with selecting a site for a nuclear test discovered an oasis deep in the Sea of Death that should not exist.
There are airtight dark green forests, crystal clear lakes, and vegetation that can only be seen at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. There lived a huge, unnamed animal—a giant beast with blue-grey fur, a neck as tall as two people, and vertical pupils in its eyes. It was grazing leisurely on the edge of the forest.
The scientific expedition team stood at the junction of sand and grass. One step forward was green grass up to their ankles, and one step back was the hot yellow sand of the Gobi. They don't know why this oasis appears here; they also don't know what the leader's words, "If there is anything, bring it back" before leaving, exactly mean.
They only know that some things should not exist. And they are watching them.
This is a story about "seeing". When the dusty myths awakened in the depths of the desert, when the legends in the Classic of Mountains and Seas turned into soil under their feet, when the Gobi Desert in the 1960s lit up with eyes that should not belong to this world - was what they discovered an oasis or a door that should not be pushed open?
This story is purely fictitious and any similarity is purely coincidental.
Reader comments
It's quite good. It's a novel about spiritual recovery. It has a pretty good setting, such as the oasis in Lop Nur and so on. It's just that it's easy to get discouraged by writing too many settings at the beginning, but it's pretty good later on.
Well, actually I am the author, and I just want to encourage myself.
Come on, author, when can you improve your writing skills?
