Steel Steam and Flame

　　 The undulating sand dunes appear peaceful and elegant under the dim sky before dawn. They are a gray-yellow color that interacts with the light blue-gray in the sky, which is a lonely beauty.

　　 There was no sound around, even the sound of the wind was inaudible at this time. Everything was a still life painting with melted colors, flooding the air around the body, with a little moisture at this time. Cassia and Kara finally managed to take off their masks, sucking in the rare fresh breath. On the face that was reddened from suffocation, I could feel the slight moisture.

　　 "There is not much time until dawn, we need to hide before the sun completely rises." Cara spread out the map with both hands, and she put the compass on the side of the map for reference. Because of the optical sight on the sniper rifle, the vision of the two of Cassia was greatly improved.

　　 Kara is still closing one eye, looking at almost the same distance in front of him through a long sight. There was still endless yellow sand, and the station marked on the map did not appear in front of them.

　　 "How's it going?" Cassia opened the water bag and took a sip of water, and asked Cara, who had retracted the appliance.

"Of course it sucks." Kara turned his head and replied, "Let's go directly to the next target while there is still some time. The supply station is important, but our purpose is to make it better. A few days ago we You need to walk a little bit longer, while your body is still in a state of excitement."

　　 The footsteps of the two broke the peaceful world like the picture, and the chain-like footprints also twisted and coiled along with the ups and downs of the sand dunes.

　　The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and finally a ray of light suddenly appeared in the entire desert, and then countless fiery reds began to be like huge paintbrushes, rendering the colors of the entire desert. This is a picture of alternating red and black shadows, spreading row by row, like a continuous wave, all disappeared without a trace in tens of seconds.

　　 The real sunlight came out, and the face without a mask could clearly feel the huge power contained in the rays of light. The increase in temperature is definitely visible to the naked eye. In just a few minutes, the surrounding air will silence the traces of moisture in the world of light. Dryness and fiery heat are the main theme of the desert.

　　 The sun came out half an hour in the morning than the two estimated, but in order not to destroy the fixed itinerary plan, they climbed up to half of the sky with their heads on top of the white sun and walked more than ten kilometers. Until the temperature of the surging heat wave in front of him rose to about fifty degrees, Cassia and Carla quickly took out the tent skeleton they were carrying, camped behind a dune chain leeward slope, and then covered the entire tent with yellow sand. , So as to reduce the temperature of sunlight at noon.

　　 There is only one tent for the two of them. During the ten-day journey, they can only simply live together.

　　 The temperature inside the tent is not very low, the heat is like a steamer, it is still the kind without the slightest moisture. Staying here every minute is suffering.

"You don't need to separate your hands to watch. No one will come in this weather. Those pitiful animals in the desert must be in the same state as us now. If they come out, they can just be used as today's food." The heavy equipment on her body was put aside, she leaned on it, her eyes closed, "Of course, I also hope to see people in this desert."

　　 Cassia is also leaning on his backpack, the size of the tent does not allow them to stretch their limbs freely. Closing his eyes, Cassia emptied the thoughts in his mind, even though it was not an environment where people could sleep peacefully. But rest is necessary, and fatigue will slowly accumulate. Can not sleep, close your eyes to relax your body and spirit, it is also a kind of rest.

　　 I don’t know how long it has been, but Cassia’s mind has been in a daze. The temperature rose so much that he felt physically uncomfortable. He has tried his best to control his physical activities so that they don't waste a little physical energy during rest. Until the reed in the mechanical watch made a sound, Cassia and Carla opened their eyes at the same time.

　　 "Sure enough, I didn't fall asleep." Cassia glanced at the watch on his hand. The time on it was six o'clock in the afternoon, and they were about to get up on their way.

　　 "It would be nice to have a rest." Kara was already fully armed to the side. She set out to open the tent, and the hot yellow sand burst in, and the heat wave seemed to have found a catharsis and surged over.

　　 "The terrible temperature, I suddenly found that the low temperature in the school is also very gentle." Cara, who got out of the tent, was looking at the sun slowly sinking. Her body was shining because of the sun protection clothing, and behind her was a dark shadow.

　　 The two went on the road, and the wind soon began to blow, the yellow sand began to fly in the air, and the sand under their feet began to travel with the wind. The dust was blown into the air, causing the last rays of dusk to flash up and down in the air like waves.

　　 The wind reached its maximum at 9 o'clock in the evening. As soon as Cassia's footsteps were lifted, the footprints that came out were smoothed. All traces will be completely eroded by the natural forces of the desert, leaving nothing left.

　　 When it was late at night, the wind died down. All the animals hiding under the gravel were also dispatched at this time. While they are on their way, Cassia will also choose to hunt their prey. After being hungry for a day, they are in the first stage and have a very large demand for food.

　　 There is nothing to make a fire, and neither of them wants to eat **** food. They discussed bringing these meats and put them in the sand at noon tomorrow to let the sun steam them before eating.

　　 In the early morning of the first day, they came to a place more than two hundred miles away from the old station. The ups and downs of the sand dunes doubled their distance, and their physical exertion was very large, far exceeding the estimated value. And they finally saw the traces of a highway in the desert. With the trajectory of the highway and the guidance of the map, the second anticipated supply station was not spared, and it was completely buried under the dunes where it was unknown.

　　 They didn't have much expectations in their hearts, but their hearts became heavier.

　　The deeper the desert, the greater the wind and danger. How many supply stations can exist there, and how many can not be covered by yellow sand, the probability of this is probably getting smaller and smaller~www.readwn.com~ continue to rush, the two people obviously speed up. They changed their strategy and wanted to go deep into the desert as much as possible when everything was sufficient in the previous few days, and to drive more distance.

　　 The route has not changed, and it is still following the supply stations set up one by one.

　　 But in the continuous disappointment, the two people's mood also became impetuous.

　　 Seven days later, in the night, the moon's light is very bright, and you can barely see the scenery not far away. Cassia took off the mask, her face was a little pale, her mouth was dry and cracked, and her eyes were full of fatigue. The body can resist, but the spirit has begun to trance.

　　 The temperature at noon today reached 90 degrees for the first time. The fresh meat they put outside was roasted into dried meat, and the temperature at night dropped to about 20 degrees lower.

　　The exhaled air turned into a white mist with precious moisture in it.

　　 Cara is now walking in front, holding the sniper rifle's detached scope, the bright red cross pupil can capture more subtle light. Cassia squatted behind and was studying the map at hand, which indicated that there should be a large-scale supply station nearby, serving as the central heart of dozens of small stations around it, playing the role of connecting transit. If even such a supply station is buried by the yellow sand, then they will not give any thought to other supply stations or bases.

"Yes!" Cara stood on the sand dunes and watched for a long time. Finally, there was a slight light on the bright red cross pupils. It was the light of a high-pressure mercury lamp. It was like a lighthouse in the desert sea, showing that people in the lost The right direction~www.readwn.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
