Fortunately, this night was very peaceful, nothing happened, after a sleepless night yesterday, the fatigue of a day's work was also dissipated.

I slept soundly and woke up very early.

Even after I woke up, everyone else was still asleep, except, of course, the two guards who were keeping watch at the camp.

After eating some food and drinking some hot water, the whole person became comfortable.

I started to think about our itinerary.

We have been walking for a week. Although we are only traveling during the day, the team is now very close to the center of the desert. It will not be long before we will probably reach the place where the advance team is completely wiped out.

The previous team members were sent by the organization to explore the way and find clues to the location of Ximu's palace.

According to the old professor, most of them are veterans of the Special Forces, but even if they are equipped with excellent equipment, not a single one of them died.

Only a very short video with a blurred picture came out.

Of course, this may be caused by the weird magnetic field in that area interfering with the signal, but it cannot be denied that the danger there is enough to kill the experienced special forces.

I glanced at the ten tents in a circle in the camp.

There are 24 people left, how many will survive in the end?

The time spent thinking wildly passed quickly, and the others woke up one after another and walked out of the camp. They all greeted me, and at the worst, they forced a smile and nodded to me.

But there is only one exception, and that is the captain Wang Gang.

"Pack up your things and set off immediately!"

After Wang Gang walked out of the tent, he said with a cold face.

When the team members heard this, they didn't have any objection, they just started to pack up the simple tent in silence.

But this caused dissatisfaction among others.

"What's the hurry? Why, are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Who are you showing a bad face to? My stomach is still empty. How can I hurry when I'm hungry?"

The one who said this was one of the three newly joined men before departure, his name was Wei Hang.

He curled his lips, and took out the water bottle from the luggage that the team members had just packed in annoyance, and took out the small stainless steel pot used to boil water.

"I can also speak with empty teeth. After all, it is not your brother who died along the way. You'd better listen to me and let me complete the tasks assigned above. I did this to reduce casualties. I hope you understand. "

Wang Gang said with a sullen face.

"Understand? Then you can understand slowly. I will leave after eating and drinking."

After hearing Wei Hang's words, Wang Gang's face darkened even more.

I feel that our team has undergone some subtle changes under the oppression of unknown dangers, especially in the past two days, everyone's emotions have been more or less depressed.

This has also led some people to prefer to follow their instincts.

Wang Gang and that man stood on the opposite side, which also divided our team into three factions. One faction was the guards headed by Wang Gang, because Wang Gang's words and deeds were to protect them.

The other faction is me, Fire Monkey, and Yang Hui.

We choose neutrality.

In the end, it was the four newcomers before departure, plus Li Xin, she stuck her tongue out at the three of us, a little embarrassed.

"I don't want to go hungry either."

Wei Hang set up a pot to boil water on his own, but just as a bottle of water was poured into the pot, Wang Gang kicked it over.

"What are you doing on horseback? Do you know how precious water is in this damn place! You're just a bad captain, don't you really treat yourself like an onion? Believe it or not, I will report to the superior immediately after I go back, and fire you bastard. !"

Wei Hang was furious, and pointed at Wang Gang's nose and cursed.

However, Wang Gang was not polite, and replied in a muffled voice: "Okay, you can go and fire Lao Tzu, but here, you have to listen to me! Unless you want to play two tricks with me."

After all, Wang Gang looked at Wei Hang coldly.

Wang Gang's figure is extremely strong. He belongs to the kind of person who looks like he can kill a cow with one punch. Under his threat, Wei Hang, who is like a skinny chicken, naturally loses the right to speak

"you……"

This conflict is resolved by coercion, which is not what I want to see.

But it seems there is no other way.

Although I thought about being a peacemaker, but after thinking about it, I felt that they would not listen to me at all. If I spoke, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

On the way, Fire Monkey tugged at my sleeve and pulled me closer to him.

"I always feel that if things go on like this, I might end up fighting."

The Fire Monkey whispered.

What he said didn't make sense, but I think his worries were overstated.

First of all, Wang Gang is a very rational person. Although he may have some emotional fluctuations, he knows what to do and what not to do.

Secondly, if Wei Hang can be sent to carry out this mission, then he must not be a fool.

Today's itinerary is also extremely depressing. There is no usual chattering and nasty talk in the team, and all the way can only hear the rustling of the sand under your feet.

It was not until noon that we stopped to replenish water and food.

The place where we slept was on top of a sand dune, and there are dunes like this everywhere, but sitting on the dunes today, there is something wrong.

It's so cool!

There is no harsh sunshine today, nor the temperature that makes you feel like you are in a steamer, which is really unusual!

I looked at the clouds above my head, they were so low that they seemed to be pressed down at any moment.

Is it going to rain?

The precipitation in the desert area is very rare, but scarce does not mean that there is no rain. Occasionally, there will still be such a rain, but there is sand everywhere, and the ground cannot store water at all. It will either be absorbed by the sand quickly, or will be evaporated at high temperature.

"Hey, it's windy, it's quite comfortable."

Suddenly, Yang Hui who was sitting opposite me said with emotion.

I also felt it, and the power of this wind seems to be gradually increasing, and it is still a bit cool when blowing on people, so comfortable that people even want to lie down and have a good sleep.

All of us have been tortured by the high temperature all morning, and now there is a cool wind blowing, and everyone's mood is more or less better.

But our guide's face changed drastically at this moment.

He spoke hurriedly and loudly in a dialect I didn't understand, and made gestures.

"Everyone put away food and drink, and quickly lead the camels to the leeward side! Try to lean together, if nothing happens, the wind will blow harder and harder, windy days are not suitable for driving, etc. Let's go when the wind stops!"

Wang Gang acted as an interpreter and explained to us what the guide said.

Soon, the wind became stronger, and some fine sand and dust moved with the wind, and if you didn't pay attention, it would get into your eyes and nose.

Fortunately, we were all equipped with goggles and dust masks.

We walked towards the leeward area of ​​the hill, but before we reached the end, the wind passing over our heads became stronger and stronger. When we looked up, we could even see the rolled up yellow sand like a layer of mist. covering our heads.
