Fang's joke or Dara's insidiousness

Before lying on the mattress, Fang arranged his ekhaskeletons along the edge of their camp and turned on the security function. In the case of approaching them at a distance of 10 meters, an ultrasound signal would be heard that would scare away animals and people, when crossing the perimeter, the intruder would receive an electric shock. Poor Dara had no idea about this.

Fang only looked evil at his Bro, no one was dying from an electric shock, but he would get his lesson if he was lucky. Giggling viciously, Fang as soon as he touched the head of the mattress, immediately burst into the kingdom of morpheus. He was very tired, if he knew that his Bro was so lazy, he would not go on such dogmas, a tiring and dangerous campaign. Fang had no physical or moral strength. Fang turned off. Fell asleep soundly.

Baraz, although an experienced veteran, but old age takes its toll. Overstretched, tired mentally. Therefore, although he had a task from Agabei to follow Fang and Dara, he could not fulfill it, he fell asleep. Although the sleep of the secret police personnel is wary. Baraz gave himself time to recover, he decided to sleep for two hours to be in shape. Anyway, Fang is already sleeping, even snoring, which means he is very tired.

Dara Vidio will be setting up camp for two hours.

Barno is already sleeping, sniffing softly.

...

Dara was not so insidious, but was not simple-minded. He did not need extra eyes, so he exhausted his fellow travelers. And now, when they lay motionless, he could quickly check his guesses.

Dara drew attention to the fact that on a google map with a more detailed study, you could see a dry channel running perpendicular to the main mountain channel. And along the dry channel, the contours of old buildings were clearly visible. They looked like rectangles.

Searching the forum for urban history buffs, he found two old maps. According to them, he was able to detect only two villages. But since 1 cm on the map = 400 meters, Dara could not understand how many houses there were. Having overlaid the old map with a new satellite image, Dara realized that there should have been more villages.

But he could not find other data. Apparently it was necessary to look for information in the district archives and libraries. But this would cause an information leak. Dara could not find information in the information available on the Internet.

He knew that the search for such data requires a lot of time, money and painstaking work with bibliographic and cartographic sources.

Since Small-Ann became less economically developed with independence, some of the materials from the archives were sold by dishonest employees abroad. Thus, the country lost many handwritten cultural heritage sites.

Part of the maps for the Dara region he needed was found in private institutes and research centers in Asia and Europe. Collectors alone were willing to provide scanned copies for free, but with their indication as philanthropists in the print edition. Others asked for $ 300 to $ 10,000 for a scanned copy. What was stupid!

Therefore, Dara, was content with what he managed to find. And this was scattered information about the history of the mountain region.

Dara knew that if he didn't find something, it doesn't mean that it isn't, it means that he, as a researcher, was just looking badly.

Therefore, Dara had a bold idea to bring his companions to exhaustion so that they would sleep for a couple of hours and give him time for independent searches.

...

Dara hastily set up a tent, quickly laid out the burner, he put a pot on the fire, threw out the Great Wall of China the Chinese beef stew, threw a couple of freeze-dried potatoes, steaks and onions. After 6 minutes, the lunch was ready. Hastily having a snack. Dara put food in a thermos for food, so that when his comrades wake up, there was something to eat. And they were not angry with him, since a well-fed person reacts more calmly to problems than a hungry person.

Making sure everyone was asleep, Dara took his backpack and metal detector and ...
