Chapter 75 Regroup
Because the possibility of being buried alive is very high, each carriage has an upper opening inside so that the people inside can dig out the sand when the car is not completely buried.
The first person to get out of the carriage was the captain of the escort team, Poison, followed by Zhou Ming, Wang Siyan, and other members of the escort team.
When he climbed out of the car, he saw that the surrounding terrain had changed. The fine yellow sand had turned the originally flat continent into undulations, like the curves of a woman. The tall stone forests had also become thin and short, and some had simply disappeared.
.
Almost half of the big truck behind them was buried in the sand, like toys thrown into the sand pit by naughty children. Now, their task was to dig these toys out of the sand pit.
Passengers who paid the money were very lucky to be able to stay in the car and enjoy a long-lost sleep.
The escort members first opened the slave carriages and drove out the slaves whose hands and feet were shackled. They pointed guns at the slaves and asked dozens of slaves to take turns digging sand, while they supervised these as overseers.
People work.
Poison Scorpion held a gun and stood on the roof of the car, looking down at the slaves working below.
He turned to look at the girl squatting next to him. Wang Siyan squatted carelessly on the edge of the car roof, holding a gun and looking down, looking bored. The young man next to the girl was also sitting with one leg propped up.
Rest your right hand on your knee.
He stared at the slaves digging in the sand in a daze, as if thinking about some profound question.
These two strange mercenaries gave Venomous Scorpion a very different feeling. It was not that he had never seen young mercenaries before, but as long as he had been working in this business for a long time, his body would naturally exude a smell of alertness at all times.
But this was not the case with these two people. They showed a different kind of calmness.
Even more relaxed than the hermits and conjurers next to him.
After several hours of work, two vehicles have been dug out. The tires buried deep in the sand have been completely damaged. The steel plates covering the outside have been removed. The thick black tires are covered with dense tooth marks and scratches.
, paralyzed there like a deflated rubber ball.
The driver looked at the sky, climbed out of the car, and shouted to Venomous Scorpion: "Brother mercenary, you don't need to let them change the tires. You can't leave today. Let's stay here for one night."
So Poisonous Scorpion asked his people to drive the slaves back to the car.
Zhou Ming walked to the car roof entrance and was about to get in when he heard whispers coming from inside.
"Can we get out of the Lost Zone?"
“Maybe I won’t be able to get out, maybe I’ll get out soon, maybe I won’t be able to get out for a long time.”
"Then you said, if there is not enough food in the end, they will kill those slaves, right? After all, life is more important than money."
"Are you stupid! Haven't you understood the current situation? The key is not whether they will kill the slaves. They will definitely kill the slaves. The key is when to kill them! As long as those slaves live for one day, they have to eat for one more day.
If I have to eat less for several days, you said... if this continues after killing those slaves and food is in short supply, who will they kill next?"
"Kill, kill, kill, kill us?"
Zhou Ming listened to the people below him plotting quietly without making a sound.
Then he deliberately made a little noise on the edge of the roof, and it suddenly became quiet inside.
He jumped into the car. All the passengers were reclining on their chairs and sleeping, as if the whispers just now were just auditory hallucinations.
But Zhou Ming knew that these people were just pretending to sleep.
A young man slumped in a chair closed his eyes and listened carefully to Zhou Ming's footsteps. He heard Zhou Ming's footsteps passing by him, and finally stopped, feeling relieved.
He slowly opened his eyes, opened his eyelids a little, and suddenly saw a pair of eyes staring at him from a very close distance!
The young man's heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, and fear filled his heart. The two people looked at each other, and the distance between their eyes was only five centimeters.
He could conclude that this mercenary was staring at him while he was pretending to sleep!
Is there something wrong with this guy’s mind?
His Adam's apple moved and he wanted to speak, but he felt like it was stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
Just when he felt that he couldn't bear the mental pressure, Zhou Ming straightened up, walked to the side and sat down on the stool next to him, as if nothing had happened.
"You...what were you doing just now?" The young passenger couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.
But Zhou Ming didn't even look at him, he just sat on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.
…
As night fell, the sand ghost came again that night, but there was no sandstorm.
The mercenaries of the escort were sitting in the carriage just like last night, letting the sand ghosts outside scratch and climb on the iron shell.
The reason why they have to fight the Sand Ghost at night is because if the Sand Ghost is left alone, some fragile parts on the truck will be destroyed by the Sand Ghost.
But after yesterday's sandstorm, all the destructible items on the truck had been damaged, and now those broken items had not been updated, so they had no reason to fight these beasts.
Although these monsters have sharp teeth and claws, it is still impossible for them to break through the strong and thick iron wall, so it is very safe to stay in the carriage.
"Don't worry, everyone, it's all a minor problem! We have enough food and can set off tomorrow. Everyone should go to bed early. We have to travel during the day tomorrow!"
The guide and driver comforted the passengers, gave everyone cotton earplugs, and asked everyone to go to bed early.
There were far fewer people out of control than yesterday, but the weird atmosphere still permeated the entire carriage. Zhou Ming squatted in the corner and observed the people around him, and found that except for most of the uneasy people, the man he had peeped at during the day,
He was staring in a daze with a restless look on his face.
His concerns seemed different from others.
…
Early the next morning, the mercenaries replaced brand new tires and repaired the cab, and then the convoy set off again.
Half of the escort went to sleep in the car in advance to prepare for the night vigil, while the other half sat on the roof of the car talking in a daze just like the first day they entered the stone hill.
The guide kept looking at the surrounding environment, holding the map tightly in his hand, and constantly observing the surrounding boulders and sand dunes. The convoy walked all morning, and there were a total of three guides in the ten vehicles. No one saw the familiar shape of the road.
Shit, a whole morning of driving is just a waste of time.
There was more or less a trace of anxiety on everyone's face, and it could be felt that the mercenaries' mentality was also subtly affected by this article.
Zhou Ming turned his attention to Wang Siyan. Wang Siyan, who was wearing a navel-baring vest, was lying on the edge of the car roof, with his two long legs crossed on the railing of the car roof, the rifle resting on his belly, and his eyes staring directly at the top of his head.
blue sky in a daze.
People who knew about it thought she was in a daze, and people who didn't know thought she was sunbathing.
"Isn't the gun warm when you put it on your stomach?" Zhou Ming asked.
Wang Siyan turned to look at Zhou Ming and blinked: "It's okay."
"I see you have been in a daze lately, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing these words, Wang Siyan narrowed his eyes like a fox, sat up straight and crawled to Zhou Ming's side, put his mouth to his ear and said mysteriously: "I'm wondering how the person who wanted to kill you knew that we were going to kill you.
