It was surprisingly quiet that night, so quiet that one could even hear the sound of the breeze blowing the sand.
I stayed up all night, feeling a little uneasy in my heart, always feeling that something was going to happen.
This continued until dawn, when I hurried out of the tent.
Nothing seemed to have changed. The two night guards stood in the center of the camp unharmed, and the captain Wang Gang sat on the sand beside him and took a nap.
"morning."
I laughed a few times and greeted the two guards.
They nodded in response to me.
Not long after I stood outside, other people came out of the tent one after another. Everyone had a pair of dark circles under their eyes. It seemed that they hadn't slept all night like me.
Seeing each other's familiar faces also made us feel a little more at ease.
"Huh? Are you all up?"
Wang Gang yawned, rubbed his eyes, and started to count the number of people. The more he counted, the deeper his frown became. After counting three times in a row, his face completely turned down, "Where are those two bastards, Zhao Yi and Zhao Er?"
When Wang Gang said these words, everyone understood.
Someone else is missing.
Last night, two team members went missing one after another, and two more were missing early in the morning.
Everyone's heart was pounded.
This is a desert, and there are very few species of animals living here, and there are no large predators, and there must be no other people within tens of miles of us.
But how could a few living iron-blooded men disappear without a trace?
More than a dozen team members were talking about it, and suddenly, one of them looked at Wang Gang suspiciously.
"Captain, which tent did the two brothers live in last night?"
"is not it……"
Wang Gang raised his hand while talking, but he froze half way through, his chest fluctuated, and even his breathing became short of breath.
We looked in the direction he pointed.
It was empty, and as far as the eye could see, there was only fine yellow sand.
But there should have been a tent there.
It's fine if someone goes missing for no apparent reason, but now even the tent is gone?
"What are you kidding?"
I saw the local guide who had been leading us forward, the man in his early fifties came out, he was very emotional and yelled at Wang Gang.
But Wang Gang had a shy face, repeatedly making up for it.
I quickly asked Yang Hui who was beside me what the guide was talking about.
"He said that he had been in this business for more than 20 years, and he had never seen such a weird thing. He asked if we were playing him on purpose. If so, he would immediately abandon us and go back by himself."
Yang Hui said flatly.
It seems that this man with more than 20 years of guiding experience has never experienced such a thing.
Wang just calmed down the guide's emotions after talking nonsense for a long time.
Then, he smiled apologetically at us core members, "Several people got lost, so today we set off a few hours late, and wait for them, or if they come back and don't find us, we will be in trouble .”
"Trouble? If something like this happens, don't lie to yourself. "
The person who said this was the man who slept in the same tent as me last night. His surname is Chen, and we call him Dr. Chen these days.
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have encountered an accident. Maybe the longer they stay here, the more frequent accidents will happen. We'd better not waste time and hurry up, otherwise who knows what will happen?"
His words caused dissatisfaction among some people, especially Wang Gang as the captain. The missing people were all members of his team.
But more people support Dr. Chen's point of view.
"Let's go then."
In the end, Wang Gang gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Half an hour later, we embarked on the journey again, and the long team left a series of footprints on the soft sand dunes.
But whenever there is a ray of wind blowing, our footprints will be submerged by the fine sand tumbling with the wind, without any trace.
Me, Fire Monkey, and Wang Gang walked at the forefront of the team, behind were tall camels, the core personnel followed on both sides of the camel, and the guards were at the end.
After what happened last night, Wang Gang had someone equip us with guns for self-protection.
But we all know that the four team members who disappeared last night were fully armed, but they were still useless. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they had evaporated from the world.
Even people and tents are missing.
It can be seen that weapons are not omnipotent.
It's another sunny day, the temperature is starting to rise gradually, and while sweating profusely, each of us is facing a serious problem, dehydration.
And our water resources are very limited, and they are all quantitative.
Abu, who came with me, has been holding a water bottle since he entered the desert. Considering his physique and consumption, I deliberately gave him part of my water.
At noon, a suffocating heat wave swept across the entire desert.
We had no choice but to find the backside of the shaded sand dunes as soon as possible, and wait for the most venomous moment of the sun at noon to pass before continuing on our way.
At the same time, eat something to replenish your strength.
Just as we were looking for a foothold, there was a burst of exclamation from the team behind us.
"Look what that is!"
"Damn it! How could there be our tent there! Who threw it?"
This sounds very absurd.
However, there were successive exclamations from the team behind.
We start to realize that things are not that simple.
"Go and have a look."
I gestured past to the fire monkey.
We have been walking on the top of the dunes, which can ensure a wide view, but at this time in order to avoid direct sunlight, we walked on the shaded side of the dunes for a short rest.
And those who exclaimed were standing on the top of the sand dunes.
I didn't know until I walked over that just now, a team member wanted to avoid the team to take a pee, but when he was taking off his pants, he happened to see the bottom of the sand dune, about ten meters away. In the distance, there is a ball of tarpaulin.
The eye-catching U-shaped logo on the tarpaulin is the same as the one we use.
A daring team member has rushed down.
"Be careful!"
Wang Gang shouted at them.
"Captain, don't worry!"
He rushed down thinking it was a thin man, he made an OK gesture to us, and ran to the tarpaulin half covered with yellow sand first, grabbed a corner of the tarpaulin, and yanked it violently.
Immediately, all the sand on it was shaken off by him.
No, not just sand!
"what!"
The thin man threw off the tarpaulin and danced and patted his clothes and pants.
In the eyes of others, his behavior at this time is abnormally weird, as funny as a clown in a circus.
But my eyesight is better than ordinary people, and it really benefits from this. I can clearly see the reason why the thin man is dancing.
The moment he lifted the tarpaulin, dozens of thumb-sized scorpions emerged from the sand under his feet!
The scorpions were waving their pincers, and many of them had crawled down his ankles and into his trouser legs.
If you don't save him, he will definitely die!
I stayed up all night, feeling a little uneasy in my heart, always feeling that something was going to happen.
This continued until dawn, when I hurried out of the tent.
Nothing seemed to have changed. The two night guards stood in the center of the camp unharmed, and the captain Wang Gang sat on the sand beside him and took a nap.
