The God of Wealth: The growth journey of the poor white rich beauty

After leaving Golmud city, Song Tang and his team's convoy followed the navigation route through the vast desert for another half an hour before they saw a group of buildings in the Gobi Desert from afar.

I guess this is the place that the innkeeper mentioned, similar to the Golmud sanatorium.

“Woohoo~!”

Ding Wei's excited shouts were heard from the car, and Zheng Long also sped up under the influence of Ding Wei's emotions.

The other cars also quickly accelerated to catch up, leaving a trail of dust across the endless Gobi Desert.

"Swish!" With a sound, Zheng Long's modified Pajero braked and stopped dozens of meters away from the gate of the abandoned building, leaving a brake mark more than one meter long on the ground.

The cars behind also braked one by one nearby. No one opened the car doors, but waited for the dust caused by braking to dissipate.

Of course, there are exceptions. Ding Wei, the idiot, jumped out of his modified Wrangler as soon as he parked the car, and ran towards the gate not far away while screaming, ignoring the smoke and dust.

With a slight breeze, the dust in the air quickly dissipated. Everyone packed up their belongings, got off the car, and walked towards that direction together. Ding Wei had been waiting at the gate for half a day.

……

It happened to be cloudy today. Under the gloomy sky, the entire mottled building complex looked lifeless, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Song Tang excitedly followed everyone forward while carefully looking at the abandoned buildings that were getting closer and closer in the distance.

A large courtyard gate that is so dilapidated that it is about to collapse, still has the ancient architectural style of the last century. There are two not-so-high gate pillars on each side, and two large rusty iron doors in the middle.

There seemed to be writing on the doorposts on both sides, and plaques that had rusted beyond recognition, and it was impossible to make out the specific words on them.

At this time, Ding Wei had pushed open the dilapidated and rickety iron gate to create an opening large enough for two people to enter and exit, making an unpleasant creaking sound of iron friction.

"Huh? Is this door open?" Zheng Long, who walked closer and saw Ding Wei's actions, asked curiously.

Ding Wei pushed the door open and turned to look at everyone. "Yeah, I noticed it when I came here just now. It must have been locked with a big iron chain before, and the traces are still there."

"But I don't know when it was cut off. It was probably by the tourists who had been here before, as the innkeeper mentioned. But it's convenient for us now. Otherwise, we would have to climb over the wall."

Ding Wei didn't think too much about it, he just talked about the general situation he observed after coming here.

Although the door was not locked and was pushed open quite a gap by Ding Wei, everyone stopped when they reached the door and did not rush in.

Inside the rusty iron gate is a dilapidated courtyard. You can vaguely see traces of people living there in the past, and some items that are so dilapidated that they are unrecognizable are scattered around.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, sometimes even half a man's height. Some trees that had been planted in the past were also growing wildly, making a heart-pounding rustling sound when the wind blew through them.

Looking past the deserted courtyard is the largest building here. It looks like a simple style from the last century, a three-story building made of red bricks, but it is now completely abandoned.

The red brick walls have been weathered beyond recognition, with mottled marks everywhere, and some walls are covered with creeping plants.

All the windows were broken, some even had no frames, leaving only a pitch-black window that looked like a huge, devouring mouth.

There are still some collapsed or still standing bungalows scattered around, but every dilapidated house is gloomy and looks so cold from a distance that it makes people feel cold.

"Do we... really have to go in?" Zhao Qi was a little scared at this time. The abandoned building in front of him was even scarier than a haunted house.

Not to mention the little girl Zhao Qi, it was not just the girls who were scared, some of the boys in the team were also a little scared at this time.

No one knows what is in this dilapidated courtyard and building. If there really is something unspeakable, it would be fatal.

Under the gloomy sky, the occasional wind blowing through the dilapidated and gloomy building made a strange humming noise. Coupled with the surrounding silence with only the slight chirping of insects, the atmosphere of horror was at its peak at this moment.

Probably affected by the atmosphere here and everyone's current state, even Ding Wei swallowed quietly at this moment.

The sanatorium described in the novel was scary enough, and now the state and atmosphere of this place are so consistent that it is hard not to feel nervous.

"How about we draw lots. One is long and the other is short. The longer one goes in and the shorter one leaves."

Zheng Long then offered his own suggestion, "Or we can vote."

As the team leader, he was unwilling to spoil everyone's fun. Moreover, as a staunch materialist, he did not believe in any of those monsters and demons.

But we also have to respect everyone's wishes, right?

After hearing Zheng Long's words, everyone nodded. This was indeed a solution.

"Let's do this, let's not draw lots or anything, just vote." Zhou Jing said with a smile.

Although she was a little scared, it was still okay compared to what Zhao Qi and Zhao Rui said.

"Please raise your hands if you agree to go in."

As soon as Zhou Jing finished speaking, many of the people gathered around raised their hands. What made everyone curious was that Song Tang was also one of those who raised his hand.

Similarly, Zhao Qi, who was very scared before, also slowly raised his hand.

Although she was a little scared, she was more curious. Not to mention that her own daughter was also raising her hand.

It was obvious at once that curiosity had defeated fear, and more than half of the people raised their hands in agreement.

Since everyone had voted by raising their hands to confirm that they wanted to go in and explore, Zheng Long smiled and said to the team members who didn't raise their hands, "You can choose to go in with everyone, or you can choose to stay in the car and wait. It's up to you."

After hearing what Zheng Long said and seeing that everyone was looking at them, they gritted their teeth.

"Come in! With so many people here, I don't believe anything dares to come out!"

Wow, he's even brainwashing himself.

……

Everyone stood in front of the big iron gate with a serious face. The gap that Ding Wei had pushed open just now had been blown closed by the wind.

"Let's go."

Zheng Long said softly, took the lead and stepped forward to push open the big iron door again, making an unpleasant creaking sound.

Seeing Zheng Long step into the gloomy courtyard, the people behind him also mustered up their courage and hurried to follow him.

The moment I stepped into the gate, I didn’t know if it was a psychological effect or if the wind in the yard was stronger.

In short, everyone felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.

In this non-urban area, the leash on Song Chuyi had been removed.

The dog followed Song Tang's legs with a serious and vigilant look on its face, looking around. It seemed that the suffocating environment here put a lot of pressure on it.
