The next day, after Zhou Ke met Duomaiti at the exit of the town, he arranged for Duomaiti to take the lead car, and he and his nephew Zhou Hai were in the same car, leading the way, while they and others Follow behind.
The convoy plunged into the sea of sand.
Although Duomaiti said that it is better to use camels in the desert, for the Zhou family, it would be more comfortable to use a car.
Besides, even if the car breaks down in the desert, they have spare parts, and can call for support at any time and use helicopters to send new cars. Therefore, he rejected Duomaiti's proposal and still insisted on using a car.
Another thing is, how much supplies can a camel carry? And an off-road vehicle, after modification, can carry several times the supplies of a camel, which is completely incomparable.
Even if there is a big accident in the desert and the entire convoy breaks down, the supplies they carry can still last for three months without any problems. And rescue is always prepared. Even if there is no rescue, the three innate masters can easily walk out of the desert and call for rescue.
These are Zhou Ke's confidence, so naturally there is no need to consider the proposal of buying more.
Ten minutes after Zhou Ke and his party left the desert town, the second convoy also set off.
They had no guide, but they followed closely behind the first convoy without worrying about the convoy deviating from the direction.
Therefore, Chen Mo, who was following behind, was a little surprised. Why were these people so determined and not worried at all about the deviation of the direction of their convoy?
Besides, they are still far away from the first convoy, at least nearly ten kilometers away, so how can they keep up?
Are they the ruts left in the desert, or what?
Now we can still judge based on the rut marks. If there is a sandstorm or other climate reaction, the ruts will definitely disappear. So how to find the first team?
Therefore, Chen Mo judged that either he would use high technology to track the first team, or the first team had manpower deployed to send the position to the second team at any time.
Although Chen Mo couldn't tell, he didn't get too hung up on it. Anyway, he had already left a trace of consciousness on the woman named Zhou Mei. In this way, he would not deviate from the target and always follow her. .
In this way, the three groups of people kept moving forward in the sea of sand. The vehicles we all drive are durable vehicles in the desert. We traveled in the sea of sand for a day without any problems.
In the evening, you will spread out your tent in the desert to rest.
I walked like this in the desert for more than ten days, but I couldn't find the ancient city of Xiye.
The convoy moves in a circular motion along a certain area. But this kind of ring is very big. It was also such a large circle that the people in front did not notice that there were other people behind the convoy.
Finally, after twenty days, the convoy left the inner area of the desert and rested in a desert town on the outskirts.
Since this town is very small, it is just a supply point set up on the outskirts of the desert to provide supplies for people traveling to the desert. Therefore, after the warrior convoy entered the town, the foreigner's convoy did not enter. Instead, it detoured far away and headed towards the outer area.
In the end, I spent a day and found a small town outside to rest.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, did not follow. Instead, he put the car into the Qiankun Bag, and then entered the desert town to find Duomaiti and others to see what was going on.
Fortunately, Duomaiti was not in the same place with the three innate masters, but in another house, dozens of meters away from the innate masters.
This made it easier for Chen Mo to step forward and check the root of the wall.
Sure enough, during the break, Zhou Ke did not go to rest. Instead, he found Duomaiti and asked about the ancient city of Xiye.
"Domaiti, we have been walking in the desert for more than ten to twenty days, and we still haven't found the ancient city of Xiye. Are we going in the wrong direction?" Zhou Ke asked.
Duomaiti was actually thinking about it all the time, but he really tried his best.
Whether he was looking for directions or the routes in his memory, he had verified them one by one, but he could not find Xiye Ancient City. This was really strange. What went wrong?
Duomaiti did not answer Zhou Ke's question, but kept frowning in thought.
Zhou Ke saw Duomaiti thinking, so he didn't bother him. Instead, he wanted to wait and see what he would think of.
Duomaiti has been recalling how he and his group found the ancient city of Xiye more than ten years ago.
That time it was really simple, just walking forward. Just when the sun was about to go down, everyone saw the ancient city wall under the afterglow of the setting sun. At that time, seeing the city wall against the backdrop of the setting sun had a different kind of charm, it was like seeing a gorgeous scenery.
Duomaiti thought about it and recalled the scene at that time. At that time, he seemed to be a little stupid by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Even thinking about it now, it is still very shocking.
Huh? What did I just think of? What on earth was it?
"Sunset! Light!" Duomaiti shouted suddenly. He finally realized that in the scene he just recalled, in the colorful scenery, the setting sun was absolutely indispensable light.
Only the sunset light shining on the ancient city wall allowed the group of people to see the ancient city of Xiye.
So, yes, it's the light.
Domat immediately took out the map and began to observe all the routes carefully. He also took out a notebook he had with him and marked all the directions he had recorded before, as well as reference objects, etc., on the map one by one.
Finally, Duomaiti drew a circle on the map, and then said to Zhou Ke: "Mr. Zhou, according to my inference, the ancient city of Xiye should be at this location."
"How are you sure?" Zhou Ke asked.
He couldn't stand the trouble now. Three innate masters went with him. Now it seems that all three of them are fine and have no mental problems.
However, he has been going around for nearly twenty days. If he continues to go around for another twenty days, he will really slap himself.
"I didn't think of it before, so driving around in the desert was actually because we didn't meet the conditions. As long as we meet the conditions, we can know the ancient city of Xiye. And this condition is the setting sun. Previously, based on the map, we also For some memories from the past, it is absolutely impossible to find the ancient city of Xiye," Duomaiti said.
"What conditions, what sunset? Looking for a place that actually involves sunset?" Although Zhou Ke didn't say the next words, everyone who heard it understood what it meant. This was simply nonsense.
Duomaiti didn't realize that Zhou Ke was scolding him, but explained to him: "The first time I saw the ancient city of Xiye, it was because of what happened after the sandstorm."
"After the sandstorm, the team lost a lot of things, so they had to streamline their efforts and head in one direction. Finally, after walking for a day, they discovered the ancient city of Xiye just as the sun was setting."
Domat pointed to the position on the map and said: "That time, we faced the sandstorm at this location. After that, if my direction is correct, then we should follow this direction at the speed of camels. , walked for a day, and then saw the ancient city of Xiye under the sunset."
"Then, according to the speed of the camel, and if the direction is correct, we should be able to see the ancient city of Xiye here." After speaking, Domat pointed his finger and appeared at a location in the desert.
Of course, Zhou Ke was confused, and so was Chen Mo outside the room. Although they all knew what Duomaiti said, they didn't quite understand it.
Chen Mo couldn't ask, but Zhou Ke could.
"Didn't you lose your way after encountering the sandstorm? How can you be sure that Xiye Ancient City is here now?" Zhou Ke asked.
When Duomaiti heard Zhou Ke's question, he was also stunned. Then he thought about the scene at that time, and then unconsciously took out the Mohe cigarette again and began to roll it up and smoke one. It seemed that this way could make his head move more. quick.
Zhou Ke despised Duomaiti for a moment, then took out a special cigar, took out cigar tongs and other things, and after playing with it in a very pretentious manner, he finally took a puff and let the cigarette linger in his mouth. After the circle, slowly spit it out.
Cigars cannot be inhaled into the lungs, you only need to feel the taste of smoke in your mouth.
But between puffing and puffing, dozens of dollars are almost gone.
Zhou Ke's cigars are imported and very expensive, so smoking cigars is like smoking money.
In the end, Duomaiti said: "I basically won't lose my way in the desert. I observed the position of the sun for a long time that day to determine the direction."
But Zhou Ke had long discovered the loopholes in Duomaiti's words and asked: "If according to what you said, you were walking towards the west after the sandstorm, then I just want to ask, when you encountered the ancient city of Xiye At that time, is the setting sun in front of you or behind you? Moreover, you also mentioned that the ancient city of Xiye only shows a scene after it starts to reflect the setting sun."
After Duomaiti heard Zhou Ke's words and thought for a while, he remembered that he confirmed that he was walking towards the west, but in fact the direction they were walking should be the east.
Suddenly, Duomaiti broke into a cold sweat. He thought that if the ancient city of Xiye had not been discovered, all the people might have died of thirst in the desert.
You know, according to this analysis, Duomaiti had just passed the sandstorm and his consciousness was still a little blurry, so he asked someone to lead the team towards the town.
But because his consciousness was temporarily blurred, he led them deeper into the desert, that is, in the opposite direction of the town, which meant going further and further away.
Only along the west side can you see the ancient city wall of Xiye Ancient City when the sun sets.
The sunset was right in front of them.
"Then, according to your inference, the ancient city of Xiye should be at this location." Domat said, pointing to a location on the map opposite to the circle just drawn.
This location is closer to the center of the desert.
