It had been more than ten days since everyone left. The young people no longer had the energy they had in the first two days. They all became taciturn and just walked on with their heads covered.
"Old man, do you think we can find the ancient city of Jingjue?" That night, when everyone stopped to rest, Hu Bayi approached An Liman and asked.
"If we go further, we will reach the Black Desert. What we walk these days can only be regarded as child's play. When we reach the Black Desert, you will know what the real desert is. You can still turn back now. If you want to go back to the Black Desert, It’s basically impossible to come out.”
"I wanted to go back here, but the leaders didn't agree. Master, just worry about it. I didn't expect our water to be used up so fast this time. Can you find the nearest water source? We need to replenish the water source. .”
"Okay, then I'm afraid we won't be able to rest at night. We will have to travel all night so that we can find the next water supply point."
So Hu Bayi told everyone about the current situation that everyone was facing, and asked everyone to have something to eat immediately, and then embarked on the journey again. Lin Feng lived the most comfortable life alone. When he was thirsty, there was plenty of water in the space. When he was hungry, there were compressed biscuits, meat buns and the like. It was very comfortable to sit leisurely on the camel.
Everyone had been traveling all night and was already a little exhausted. When the east gradually became brighter, An Liman stopped his camel and looked at the red morning glow without speaking for a long time, while Hu Bayi looked at Tianse said,
"As the saying goes, if the morning glow does not go out, the sunset will travel a thousand miles. Old man, is this a sandstorm coming?"
"That's right, a big sandstorm is coming." As he said this, An Liman ran to the camel and took off a blanket, and slowly began to pray to the sky.
Hu Bayi was still wondering, but Lin Feng knew that this guy was going to run away after praying, so he immediately called everyone,
"Everyone get on the camels immediately and secure everything. The big sandstorm is coming soon. Fatty, if old guy An Liman dares to escape regardless of us, you should fire a gun and keep an eye on him. If you don’t listen to the advice and just knock off his hat first, the second shot will directly hit him in a non-lethal place.”
"Okay, as long as I'm here, he won't dare to do anything wrong."
The two of them did not avoid everyone when they spoke, but deliberately spoke loudly so that the old guy An Liman could hear them.
After An Liman finished praying, he saw that everyone was already sitting on the camel and preparing to set off. He didn't say anything. He just glanced at Lin Feng and Fatty, then silently sat on his camel and drove the camel forward. , everyone quickly followed.
Not even an hour after everyone ran, the wind and sand started to rise. Everyone had to wear goggles and cover their mouths and noses with cloth. Hu Bayi looked at the figures of Professor Chen and several other intellectuals teetering on the camels, and was afraid. I couldn't hold on anymore, so I quickly rode my camel and ran to the front to find An Liman, asking him to stop the camel team and let everyone rest for a while to drink water before leaving. An Liman could only agree.
I saw Professor Chen and the others had already fallen off the camel before it could lie down.
"Professor Chen, how are you doing? Can you still hold on?"
Professor Chen wanted to speak, but after breathing for a long time, he couldn't say a word. He just waved his hand to show that he could still hold on. However, Hao Aiguo, who is short-sighted, lost his eye while running and spun around in circles. ,
"What should I do? I lost my glasses, what should I do..."
"Teacher, I have a spare pair here, so you can make do with it for now." It was Sa Dipeng, who is also nearsighted, who donated his glasses.
Not even five minutes after the break, An Liman shouted,
"Hyacinth is here, everyone, run." After shouting, before everyone could react, he took the lead and ran away on a camel.
"Fat man, go and keep an eye on this old guy. Don't let him run away alone." Hu Bayi said quickly.
As soon as the remaining people saw An Liman running away, they knew something was wrong, so they quickly got on their camels and chased An Liman in the direction. When Lin Feng ran, he didn't forget to look back. He saw that a sand wall hundreds of meters high seemed to have been built on the horizon, and that sand wall was pressing towards them at a very fast speed.
However, Lin Feng did not panic, because he grew up in Shacheng. He often encountered sandstorms when he was in elementary school. Basically, he experienced a huge sandstorm every year. Whenever a sandstorm hit, it would be similar to the current situation. Then the teachers would let them get out of school early, and Lin Feng and his classmates would race against the sandstorm. Basically, the sandstorm came when they got home, so they were basically used to it.
Lin Feng knew that Professor Chen would fall if the original plot was followed, so he kept staring at Professor Chen. Sure enough, before he ran two hundred meters, Professor Chen was accidentally knocked off the back of the camel.
"Lao Hu, Professor Chen fell. I'll go look for him. You should ask that old guy An Liman to stop." Lin Feng shouted.
Hu Ba was shocked when he heard that. If Professor Chen's body bones fell off the camel, it would probably kill him half of his life. So he immediately followed Lin Feng's instructions and ran forward to stop An Liman.
Lin Feng got off the camel and looked in the direction in his memory. After walking a few steps, he saw Professor Chen lying in the sand.
"Professor Chen, are you okay? Can you still leave?"
"Xiao Lin, it's okay. It's just that the camel ran too fast and knocked me off."
So Lin Feng helped Professor Chen up and quickly chased towards the place where he had just come. The visibility now was only a few dozen meters. Although Lin Feng still had two tons of water in his space, he lost his way in the desert. This is no joke.
"Old Hu, they are over there!" But it was the fat man's sharp eyes who spotted Lin Feng and the two running forward.
"Where are An Liman and the others?" Lin Feng asked.
"The old boy wanted to run away, but I jumped off the camel's back, haha."
"I said you should take it easy. At such an old age, can you bear your weight?"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's leave quickly."
Several people helped Professor Chen to catch up quickly, but saw that everyone had stopped behind a sand dune, and the camels were lying on the ground.
"Why did you stop? Professor Chen has been found, let's keep walking!" Hu Bayi shouted to An Liman.
"I can't walk anymore. My camels are frightened and don't dare to move."
Lin Feng ignored their conversation and looked around. He remembered that there seemed to be an ancient city nearby. Sure enough, he vaguely saw some ruins not far away.
"Lao Hu, look there, we found a place to hide."
"Great, let's go there quickly." Hu Bayi shouted, and then took the lead to walk towards the ruins. An Liman seemed to have discovered a new world. He quickly placed the camels in a sheltered place and followed the large army to find shelter.
Hu Bayi, who was walking at the front, took the lead in discovering the house that was mostly buried by yellow sand, and then called on everyone to hide in one by one.
