Tomb Raiders: Ghosts

In the desert at the end of autumn, although the wind season has passed, and the sun is no longer as hot as in summer, there are still many things to prepare, such as GPS locator, compass, guns and bullets, as well as maps, water and food, and finally You also need a guide who is familiar with the desert.

Because the lama was captured by the four major families this time, Chu Yizhu and the others didn't have to worry about finding a guide at all.

"Dad, we all have water on us, so we need to prepare so much?" Shan Ling couldn't help asking as she watched Chu Yiju and Fengzi stuff ten full buckets of water into the back seat of the Hummer.

Prepare so much water, at least enough for them to drink for more than ten days, and then there is still a lot of food.

"Yes." Chu Yi suddenly closed the rear door and said, "Entering the desert is different from the previous ones. The most indispensable thing in the desert is water."

"Then we have a car, do we still need to bring that camel?"

It was the first time for Shan Ling to see a live camel, and the middle-aged man named A Ma who was feeding the camels in the yard, who was also their guide in the desert this time, happened to hear his words and nodded with a smile.

"The one with the camel."

"Uncle, can the camel be ridden?"

"Of course, you can ride it when you set off."

Hearing this, Shan Ling's eyes lit up, and Chu Yi suddenly saw that he was interested in camels, so he didn't stop him.

After preparing the equipment, Na Ruiming came to find Chu Yiju and the guide to discuss the route together, and finally decided to go to the Tarim River first, and then go to Lop Nur along the river. , find that place.

Lop Nur is located in the middle of the Tarim Basin. In ancient times, Lop Nur was a huge lake formed by the confluence of Tarim River, Kongque River, Cheerchen River and Shule River.Since then, the water of the lake has decreased, and it was eventually swallowed by the desert.

The shape of Lop Nur is like a human ear, known as the "ear of the earth", also known as the "sea of ​​death" and "forbidden zone of life", because countless explorers died or got lost in the desert.

The crowd set off under the leadership of the guide, Shan Ling sat on the camel full of joy, and Na Wu also joined in the fun and rode on another camel.

The team left the small village and headed towards the desert. Shan Ling sat on the back of the camel and looked towards the endless desert. Because he hadn't gone deep into the desert, he could still see some sparse vegetation .

And the more you go in, the sparse vegetation also disappears, except for the dazzling sun in the sky, you can see the endless yellow sand in the sky.

Although it is the end of October, the desert is still very sunny during the day and the temperature is high. At noon, the surface temperature is at least close to [-] degrees. It was really unbearable at the top, and then I went back to the car.

However, in order to save energy, the air conditioner was not turned on in the car, making Shan Ling feel like she was in an oven, sweating profusely and panting from the heat. Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Yu leaned over and hugged him in arms.

Yu is a soul, not to mention the temperature of fifty degrees, he would not feel it even at one hundred degrees, and the soul has no temperature, so holding Shan Ling in his arms made him not only feel not hot, but still cold Relishing, so comfortable that Shan Ling hummed continuously, for which Nawu expressed incomparable envy.

Although it is not the windy season in the desert now, they have also encountered several large-scale sandstorms in the past few days after entering the desert. Fortunately, the guide uncle has an incomparable understanding of the desert, allowing them to hide in the past. The troubles on the road were not small, and even a car was disabled. Fortunately, no one was injured.

They had just experienced a large-scale sandstorm. Shanling opened the car door and was about to get out of the car. The camels squatting on the sandy ground to avoid the wind and sand as the guide suddenly let out a series of piercing neighing, calling him I was taken aback.

"Little Bell, don't go down."

Si'er had a sharp eye and quickly pulled Shan Ling back. Feng Zi poked his head outside and asked what happened with a loud voice.

"Yes... it's an ant, an ant nest!!"

This is not far away, someone has already made heart-piercing screams, and from the car where Shanling and the others are, they can see that the sand where a car of Long's family is parked is slowly sinking, and then densely packed Black and red spewed out like a stream of water, and several people couldn't avoid it, rolling on the ground howling.

"Quick, go, it's army ants!!"

I don't know who yelled, the engine of the car hummed, and they drove away regardless of the people rolling on the ground, and the guide was already riding on the camel, driving the camel forward to escape.

Fengzi pulled the door shut, and Qinqi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, immediately started the car and followed the convoy away.

In the desert, marching ants are more terrifying than jackals, tigers and leopards. They can march day and night, find prey, eat and carry them. They move very quickly. Although they are very small, they cannot stand in large numbers. Not to mention humans, even an elephant could be eaten by them.

"Army ants... don't they all appear in places like the Amazon River Basin?" Qin Qi asked as he followed closely behind the convoy.

"Who knows that kind of thing, the desert is so big, there is a possibility of anything." Si'er said.

Shan Ling looked back frequently until he could no longer see those people who were left in the desert, and then said: "Those ants will eat those people?"

"Stepping into an ant's nest is almost hopeless, but the hearts of the people in the Long family are really dark enough, so they just ran away." Fengzi said.

"If those people didn't have a map, I wouldn't want to go to the ground with them. The cruelty makes people feel creepy." Chu Yiju, who has long been used to strong winds and waves, would actually say such words, which is really amazing. Then he looked at Shan Ling again, and said: "Where you go, don't run around, and be careful of those people, you also know very well that what they need from me is to open the door they can't open."

"I won't run around." Shan Ling nodded, then thought of Nawu again, and said, "Then what about that family and the Li family?"

"This is a matter of their four great families, we shouldn't get into it." Chu Yi suddenly patted Shan Ling's head.

Hearing Chu Yiju's words, Shan Ling lowered his eyelids, he didn't want to get involved in the four major families, but Nawu and Li Wei were his good friends.

Seeing him like this, Chu Yi didn't say much, just reached out and rubbed his head.

"Do what you can.

Although Shan Ling's ability is not high, but he has Yu by his side, so he is not worried that his son will be in danger.

Hearing this, Shan Ling finally nodded.

I don't know if this desert is really that weird. After meeting the army ants, they encountered several waves of ant colonies in the next journey, but they were no longer army ants, but man-eating ants, Jumping ants... All kinds of ants made them hard to defend against, and the number began to decrease. There were four major families, and there were others. Even two of the guide's camels died.

As for Shan Ling and the others, they were suddenly banned by Chu Yi, and they must not get out of the car at will. Na Wu got into their car again, and his whole face was turning green. Obviously, in the past few days, as a member of that family, he Master, the pressure is not small.

"Obviously when they came here before, they didn't encounter these things. It's too weird."

"It's controlled." Xiao Fengwei, who was sitting on the back of the chair, squinted her eyes, and then said.

"□□Control? Who?"

"Ant king."
