The next day, after Zhou Ke met Duomaiti at the exit of the town, he arranged for Duomaiti to take the lead car with his nephew Zhou Hai in the same car, leading the way, while they and others
Follow behind.
The convoy plunged into the sea of sand.
Although Duomaiti said that it is better to use camels in the desert, for the Zhou family, it would be more comfortable to use a car.
Besides, even if the car breaks down in the desert, they have spare parts, and can call for support at any time and use helicopters to send new cars. Therefore, he rejected Duomaiti's proposal and still insisted on using the car.
Another thing is, how much supplies can a camel carry? However, an off-road vehicle, after modification, can carry several times the supplies of a camel, which is completely incomparable.
Even if there is a big accident in the desert and the entire convoy breaks down, the supplies they carry can still last for three months without any problems. And rescue is always ready. Even if there is no rescue, the three innate masters can still
Easily walk out of the desert and call for rescue.
These are Zhou Ke's confidence, so naturally there is no need to consider the proposal of buying more.
Ten minutes after Zhou Ke and his party left the desert town, the second convoy also set off.
They had no guide, but they followed closely behind the first convoy without worrying about the convoy deviating from the direction.
Therefore, Chen Mo, who was following behind, was a little surprised. Why were these people so determined and not worried at all about the deviation of the direction of their convoy?
Besides, they are still far away from the first convoy, at least nearly ten kilometers away, so how can they keep up?
Are they the ruts left in the desert, or what?
Now we can still judge based on the rut marks. If there is a sandstorm or other climate reaction, the ruts will definitely disappear. So how to find the first convoy?
Therefore, Chen Mo judged that either high technology should be used to track the first convoy, or the first convoy had manpower deployed to send the position to the second convoy at any time.
Although Chen Mo couldn't tell, he didn't worry too much about it. Anyway, he had already left a trace of consciousness on the woman named Zhou Mei. In this way, he would not deviate from the target and always follow her.
.
In this way, the three groups of people kept moving forward in the sea of sand. The vehicles they drove were all durable vehicles in the desert. They traveled in the sea of sand for a day without any problems.
At night, we spread out our tents in the desert to rest.
I walked like this in the desert for more than ten days, but could not find the ancient city of Xiye.
The convoy moves in a circle along a certain area. However, the circle is very large. It is also such a large circle that the people in front do not notice that there are other people behind the convoy.
Finally, after twenty days, the convoy left the inner area of the desert and rested in a desert town on the outskirts.
Since this town is very small, it is just a supply point set up on the outskirts of the desert to provide supplies for people traveling to the desert. Therefore, after the warrior convoy entered the town, the foreigner's convoy did not enter, but stopped very far away.
We took a detour and headed towards the outer area.
In the end, I spent a day and found a small town outside to rest.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, did not follow, but put the car into the Qiankun Bag, and then entered the desert town to find Duomaiti and others to see what was going on.
Fortunately, Duomaiti was not in the same place with the three innate masters, but in another house, dozens of meters away from the innate masters.
This made it easier for Chen Mo to go up and check the root of the wall.
Sure enough, when he was resting, Zhou Ke did not go to rest. Instead, he found Duomaiti and asked about the ancient city of Xiye.
"Domaiti, we have been walking in the desert for more than ten or almost twenty days, and we still haven't found the ancient city of Xiye. Are we going in the wrong direction?" Zhou Ke asked.
Duomaiti was actually thinking about it all the time, but he really tried his best.
Whether he was looking for directions or the routes in his memory, he had verified them one by one, but he could not find Xiye Ancient City. This was really strange. What was the problem?
Duomaiti did not answer Zhou Ke's question, but kept frowning in thought.
Zhou Ke saw Duomaiti thinking, so he didn't bother him. Instead, he wanted to wait and see what he would think of.
Duomaiti has been recalling how he and a group of people found the ancient city of Xiye more than ten years ago.
That time it was really simple, just walking forward. Just when the sun was about to go down, everyone saw the ancient city wall under the afterglow of the setting sun. At that time, seeing the city wall against the setting sun, it was like a sight.
A different kind of charm, just like seeing a gorgeous scenery.
Duomaiti thought about it and recalled the scene at that time. At that time, he seemed to be a little stupid by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Even when I think about it now, it's still very shocking.
Huh? What did I just think of? What on earth was it?
"Sunset! Light!" Duomaiti yelled suddenly. He finally realized that in the colorful scenery in the scene he just recalled, the sunset was absolutely indispensable light.
Only the sunset light shining on the ancient city wall allowed the group of people to see the ancient city of Xiye.
So, yes, it's light.
Domat immediately took out the map, and then began to carefully observe all the routes. He also took out a notebook that he had with him, and marked the directions, reference objects, etc. he had recorded before, all on the map one by one.
.
Finally, Domat drew a circle on the map, and then said to Zhou Ke: "Mr. Zhou, according to my inference, the ancient city of Xiye should be at this location."
"How are you sure?" Zhou Ke asked.
He couldn't stand the trouble now, so he was accompanied by three innate masters. Now it seems that all three of them are fine and have no mental problems.
However, he has been going around for nearly twenty days. If he continues to go around for another twenty days, he will really slap himself.
"I didn't think of it before, so driving around in the desert was actually because we didn't meet the conditions. As long as we meet the conditions, we can know the ancient city of Xiye. And this condition is the setting sun. Previously, based on the map, we also
For some memories from the past, it is absolutely impossible to find the ancient city of Xiye," Duomaiti said.
"What conditions, what sunset? Looking for a place that actually involves the sunset?" Although Zhou Ke did not say the next words, everyone who heard it understood what it meant. This is simply nonsense.
Duomaiti didn't realize that Zhou Ke was scolding him, but explained to him: "When I first saw the ancient city of Xiye, it was because of what happened after the sandstorm."
"After that sandstorm, the team lost a lot of things, so they had to streamline their efforts and head in one direction. Finally, after walking for a day, it was almost as the sun set that we discovered the ancient city of Xiye."
Domat pointed to the position on the map and said: "That time, we faced the sandstorm at this location. After that, if my direction is correct, then we should follow this direction at the speed of camels.
, I walked for a whole day and finally saw the ancient city of Xiye under the sunset.”
"Then, according to the speed of the camel, and if the direction is correct, we should be able to see the ancient city of Xiye here." After speaking, Domat pointed his finger and appeared at a location in the desert.
Of course, Zhou Ke was confused, and Chen Mo outside the room was also confused. Although they all knew what Duomaiti said, they didn't quite understand it.
Chen Mo couldn't ask, but Zhou Ke could.
"Didn't you lose your way after encountering the sandstorm? How can you be sure that Xiye Ancient City is here now?" Zhou Ke asked.
When Duomaiti heard Zhou Ke's question, he was also stunned. Then he thought about the scene at that time, and then unconsciously took out Mohe cigarettes again and began to roll them up and smoke one. It seemed that this way could make his head move more.
quick.
Zhou Ke despised Duomaiti, then took out a special cigar, took out cigar tongs and other things, and after playing with it in a very pretentious manner, he finally took a puff and let the cigarette linger in his mouth.
After the circle, slowly spit it out.
Cigars cannot be inhaled into the lungs, you only need to feel the taste of smoke in your mouth.
But between puffing and spitting like this, dozens of dollars are almost gone.
Zhou Ke's cigars are imported and very expensive, so smoking cigars is like smoking money.
In the end, Domat said: "I basically won't lose my way in the desert. I observed the position of the sun for a long time that day before I determined the direction."
But Zhou Ke had long discovered the loopholes in Duomaiti's words and asked: "If according to what you said, you were walking towards the west after the sandstorm, then I would like to ask, when you encountered the ancient city of Xiye
When you are there, is the setting sun in front of you or behind you? Moreover, you also mentioned that the ancient city of Xiye only shows a scene after it starts to reflect the setting sun."
After Duomaiti heard Zhou Ke's words and thought about it, he remembered that he was sure to be walking towards the west, but in fact the direction they were walking should be east.
Suddenly, Duomaiti broke into a cold sweat. He thought that if the ancient city of Xiye had not been discovered, all the people might have died of thirst in the desert.
You know, according to this analysis, Duomaiti had to let someone lead the team towards the town because the sandstorm had just passed and his consciousness was still a little blurry.
But because his consciousness was temporarily blurred, he led them deeper into the desert, that is, in the opposite direction of the town, which meant going further and further away.
Only along the west side can you just see the ancient city wall of Xiye Ancient City when the sun sets.
The sunset was right in front of them.
"Then, according to your inference, the ancient city of Xiye should be at this location." Domat pointed at a location on the map opposite to the circle just drawn.
This location is closer to the center of the desert.
