Go Crazy! You Call Me the Ultimate?

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and they camped on the river bed that night.

According to Chen Wenjin's notes, he could see a desert after another day's walk.

After bypassing this desert, you can find the mountain pass back then.

By the time Tashi had dinner, his emotions had calmed down, but he still looked worried.

"You outsiders don't know the dangers here. Although the Qaidam Basin is not as big as Takmaragan, and a lot of development has been carried out over the years, most of the places are still desolate and uninhabited!"

"Even if we are locals, once we enter the no-man's land, it is very difficult to get out."

"Once you get lost, you will be trapped inside, that's no joke!"

Among all the natural environments, the desert seems calm, neither the violence of the sea nor the cruelty of the glacier, but it is no less dangerous in terms of degree.

Glaciers, seas, primeval forests, although these places are hidden and dangerous, but at least one point, food and water can be found everywhere, which can guarantee the most basic survival.

But there is nothing in the desert, and the lack of water and food deters most creatures.

For humans, the desert is called the sea of death!

Tashi continued.

"There is not only no water and food in the desert, but it is also easy to get lost, because it is difficult to tell the direction in the vast desert."

"When the weather is clear, you can still look at the stars for positioning. If you encounter a storm or a storm and you can't see the sky, no one can find your way!"

There are sand dunes everywhere in the desert. These sand dunes are almost exactly the same, and they are completely unrecognizable. They can't be marked.

The most terrible thing is that once the wind blows, the shape of the dunes will change at any time!

Even if it is marked, it cannot be counted at all.

When the fat man heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback, and immediately thought of a question.

"If that's the case, how did people get across the desert?"

Tashi replied.

"Crossing the desert can only take a fixed route. There are usually oases on these routes for supplies, and they can also be used as markers to guide the direction."

"If you deviate from the route and enter the depths of the desert, you will basically not be able to get out."

The fat man stuck out his tongue in fright.

"Speaking of which, finding that ghost city in the desert is simply an impossible task!"

Aning immediately shook his head.

"No, now we have high-tech means, we can use satellite positioning to identify the direction, and it is not so easy to get lost."

Tashi immediately waved his hands with a serious expression.

"What if the machines break down? You can't trust these machines in the desert!"

"That storm during the day is the perfect example!"

This storm put the team in a dilemma. If Ji Changsheng hadn't lifted the crisis, they might be trapped here!

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, their confidence was shaken.

At this time, Ji Changsheng said lightly.

"Thousands of years ago, the ancients were able to cross the desert and open up the Silk Road. I don't believe we can't do it!"

Tashi said hastily.

"But how many lives did that cost? Countless people were buried in the desert!"

"In short, entering the no-man's land in the desert is a narrow escape."

"You have to be prepared to die here!"

Chen Pi Ah Si, who had not spoken all this time, immediately sneered and said firmly.

"If anyone of you wants to quit, feel free."

"Anyway, I won't be a deserter!"

When he said this, people remembered that Chen Wenjin was waiting for them in front of them.

Even Chen Wenjin can find ghost towns, why can't they?

Chen Pi Asi's words immediately stabilized the morale of the army.

I have already come here, and it is impossible to repent temporarily and retreat.

No matter how dangerous it is, they have to keep going.

After a night's rest, the next day's itinerary seemed to confirm Tashi's concerns.

The convoy drove all day in the Gobi, and at night, they still couldn't find the desert recorded in the notes!

Ding Zhu Zhuoma also had doubts about his memory.

"I clearly remember it was here, why not?"

"Are we going in the wrong direction?"

Gobi can become desert, but desert will not become Gobi.

The desert in the note cannot disappear without reason!

It just means they got lost!

Once lost in the Gobi, the result is not much different from being in the desert.

The front, back, left, and right are almost exactly the same scenery, and the direction cannot be distinguished at all.

Aning took out the locator, and after identifying the direction, he looked at the map on the note.

A chilling conclusion emerges.

They were heading in the right direction. It was the same road that Chen Wenjin walked more than ten years ago, but where there should have been a desert, it was still a desert!

Chapter 161 Never retreat until you find it

People looked at the map, and then looked at the Gobi in front of them, and they were all confused.

The place where they are is exactly where it was back then.

Dingzhu Zhuoma did not lead the wrong way, and they did not get lost.

But why is that desert gone?

The fat man scratched his head and said.

"You said, could it be that the desert has turned into an oasis because of the afforestation these years?"

Wu Xie pointed around and asked back.

"Then do you see any trees here?"

Not to mention the woods, there is no grass!

The fat man frowned.

"Maybe it's because the oasis turned back into the Gobi later?"

Zhuo Ma immediately denied his guess.

"I'm a local, and I know better than you where there are afforestation projects."

"There must be none here!"

When the fat man heard this, he became a little anxious.

"Then what's going on? It's not like the desert has turned back into the Gobi!"

Obviously this is impossible.

Everyone shook their heads blankly, no one could answer the fat man's question.

The little brother stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Ji, what do you think?"

Ji Changsheng looked into the distance without speaking.

In the original book, this desert has not disappeared, this world is already different from the original book world, and even he doesn't know the reason.

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Old man, if we go directly through this Gobi, will we find the mountain pass from back then?"

As soon as these words came out, people were taken aback.

Zhuo Ma was also stunned.

"Young man, what do you mean, leave the desert alone?"

Ji Changsheng laughed.

"As long as we don't go in the wrong direction, what do we care about that desert?"

"Just find the mountain pass directly."

Yes, as long as the direction is correct, then continue to move forward.

It doesn't matter to them whether there is this desert or not.

People fall into inertial thinking, thinking that only by finding this desert can they find the mountain pass.

In fact, there is no need to care so much!
