When Duomaiti told this point, he couldn't help but twitch his cheeks. He thought of some horrible scene and trembled a few times involuntarily.
Zhou Ke and Zhou Hai looked at each other, then did not speak, but continued to listen. Now, they only need to be listeners. As for other things, it is better not to interrupt for the time being. After all, they are not experiencers.
.
Duomaiti picked up the milk tea cup on the table, filled it for herself, and drank it in one gulp.
The milk tea pot has been placed next to the stove, so the milk tea is still hot. When Duomaiti drank it in one sip, it couldn't help but feel hot, and he took a few breaths of hissing.
It was also because of this heat that it brought him back to reality.
He glanced at the two people in front of him and started telling the story again.
At that time, about ten people were preparing to unload the supplies they carried from the camels, and then found some edible things to prepare for a meal. In addition, they focused on counting the rescued supplies to see what was left.
, it will be easier to distribute everyone’s supplies at that time.
In the desert, supplies are naturally the most important thing. Once there are no supplies, all that awaits is cruel death.
The sky turned dark, but with the light of the crescent moon, we could still see some things nearby clearly. So everyone quickly placed the supplies in one place, and then classified and planned. They planned to inspect the ancient city for one or two days.
, no matter what they find, they will leave immediately and return to the supply town.
Duomaiti has given a rough estimate. Although everyone has deviated from the path, it only takes two days to walk back to the original path, and then continue to travel for three to four days to return to the original path.
Go to the supply town.
This means that you can return to the town in eight days at most.
In response, the remaining ten or so people finally breathed a sigh of relief and were naturally very happy to be able to go back alive.
After adding up all the supplies, although the water was a little tight, the food was enough for eight days. Therefore, the team leader finally decided to spend a day inspecting the ancient city of Xiye tomorrow.
If we stay for two days, if something unexpected happens on the way back, there will not be enough water.
Everyone supported this, and after regaining some energy, they found some dead wood nearby, lit a bonfire, heated the food, and ate it with a small glass of water.
After escaping the danger, there were also water and food, as well as a bonfire to warm the body, so a dozen people began to relax.
After relaxing, the emotions of losing their companions started to rise. Some people who were full of emotions shed tears silently and choked up.
The team leader has led inspection teams all year round and has experienced this kind of situation, so his mood did not fluctuate too much. Instead, after a little comfort, he made everyone stop crying. In this way, everyone could stop crying.
People's emotions are released.
"Comrades, scientific investigation is inherently uncertain and dangerous, and sometimes sacrifice is inevitable. Therefore, we should inherit the spirit of sacrificing comrades and face better challenges with a fearless spirit. Only in this way
, Only then can we be worthy of our departed comrades, and only then can we better contribute to the construction of the motherland..." The team leader saw that something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he made some encouraging remarks to cheer up the spirits of everyone present.
After all, what has passed away has passed away, and the remaining ones still have to complete the unfinished tasks.
After the team leader and several other people spoke, the spirit of the team finally changed and everyone was no longer decadent.
The team leader and others believe that after tonight’s rest, everyone will have a more energetic outlook tomorrow to face the new day.
At this time, Duomaiti took out the Tambula and played it gently. Among the team members, some who sang better began to hum. Everyone was soothed by the song of Tambula.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire and gradually began to smile.
When it was almost time and it was time to rest, a young woman among the team members stood up, looked around, and then walked towards the shadows.
"Ajuan, what are you doing?" A female team member beside her asked softly.
The female team member seemed a little shy, so she lowered her head to the inquiring team member, whispered something, and then quietly walked towards the shadows.
The team leader naturally saw this situation, heard the female team member's inquiry, and then saw that there was no obstruction and Ajuan's expression. He could also guess that the female team member might be there for convenience.
Therefore, he kept silent and did not ask. Although he was the team leader, caring too much about a female team member might cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he gave instructions to another female team member and asked her to follow
Go up and be a companion together.
The female team member didn't seem to have gone very far. Just when everyone looked blurry, she was ready to relieve herself. The female team member who followed him immediately shouted and walked towards her position.
Everyone also scattered around, packing their things and getting ready to take a rest.
"Ah!" A sharp cry resounded throughout the ancient city.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
"It's Ajuan!" the leader shouted, and immediately led the people to run over. Duomaiti was feeding the camels, so he didn't catch up, but when he saw everyone passing by, he stopped running over, and
It's the camels looking at the camp.
Everyone cannot leave the camp. There is food and water that everyone depends on. If something goes wrong, the consequences can be imagined.
Domat's experience told him that he must see these things. Everything can happen in the desert, good or bad, and being prepared is the best choice.
However, what he didn't expect was that after the other team members ran over, they screamed loudly again.
Because, when they passed by, the A-Juan and the girl who followed behind were already lying on the ground, making no sound.
Everyone held torches, and some people had flashlights in their hands. When they shined the light on them, they found that the two people were covered with ants. Although they were not sure what kind of ants they were, under the light, they could see that they were covered with ants as thick as a thumb.
Ants were gnawing densely on her body. In a short period of time, the two girls had been gnawed until the bones in their bodies were exposed.
Seeing such a scene, some people vomited, some were scared, and some wanted to rescue.
But before they could do anything, more ants crawled towards them after hearing the noise.
The dense mass, illuminated by lights and torches, was like a dark red carpet, rushing towards the crowd.
"Ah! What is this!?" someone shouted.
Some people run fast and have come into contact with these crawling ants. They see a small number of ants crawling on their bodies and then feel unbearable pain. This is because they have been bitten by ants.
My whole body was shaking immediately, and I wanted to shake the ants off. But I didn't expect more ants to climb up. Before I could shake a few times, I lay down directly on the ground, and was overwhelmed by the swarming ants.
"Run! These ants are poisonous..." Someone shouted loudly after being stung. However, he didn't even shout a few times, but he was already drowned by the swarm of ants.
"Quick! Move quickly!" The leader retreated in time, and then shouted to everyone, asking everyone to retreat quickly.
But what they didn't expect was that just when the few remaining people turned around to shake off the crawling ants and hurriedly escaped from the dead, a buzzing sound like flying mosquitoes could be heard in their ears.
Someone turned around and looked over, only to see a devastating scene. Ants were flying from the sky like mosquitoes.
"Ah!" After a team member was bitten by a flying ant, his body immediately went limp. Then, before he could struggle to stand up, he was bitten again on his leg.
Immediately, he felt that his legs were a little heavy, as if they were filled with lead, and they were also very painful.
The team members around him immediately reached out and tried to pull him up, but they didn't. When he tried to use force again, he was bitten by an ant that flew over. He could only defend himself and slapped the biting ant.
die.
But it's a pity that he only has two hands, and the ants are flying over in an endless swarm, and they are also swarming over on the ground.
Immediately, the man beat several ants to death, but he also went limp and fell to the ground, surrounded by ants that swarmed up and wrapped him up.
After running through the camp, there were only three people left, and one of them was the leader. He had rich experience and strong physical strength, so he ran so fast.
It is basically impossible to rescue him.
Moreover, when the three of them ran over, they also shouted, asking Domat to loosen the reins of the camel and leave here.
However, the alertness of animals is much higher than that of humans. Before Duomaiti could make any move, more than a dozen camels in the camp had already begun to scream, trying hard to break the tied reins and let go of their hooves.
He immediately started running.
But Duomaiti didn't hold the reins for a moment, and the camel he raised abandoned him and ran away quickly.
The camel ran very fast, so in a blink of an eye, the camel had already left the ancient city wall.
However, some camels did not struggle to loosen the reins, but were wrapped up by the swarming ants.
Duomaiti just carried a water bag on his back, and then ran towards the city gate. Behind him was the leader and another person. There was another person who was delayed because he wanted to pick up the water bag when he ran into the camp.
, and was eaten by flying ants.
The three people finally ran out of the city gate, followed closely by ants, whether flying or crawling, swarming in large numbers. Looking at them in the night, they looked even more terrifying.
Run for your life! The three of them ran forward regardless of direction.
