In this small village called Lancuo, there are only four families and more than thirty people in the whole village.
There are more than fifty people in the convoy, so it is unrealistic for everyone to rest in the village.
That night, everyone lit a bonfire next to the car and set up camp.
However, it is worth mentioning that when the convoy entered the village, a small accident occurred.
A car overturned into a wind-eroded ditch. The person was fine, but the car was completely scrapped.
The cruelty of nature has begun to show its signs.
Around the campfire, everyone gathered together to kill time and chat.
"Let me tell you, this car is just the beginning. The deeper you go, the worse the environment will be, and the frequency of the car being scrapped will be higher."
"Although these off-road vehicles you have prepared are first-rate in configuration, they are civilian products after all. If you bring a whole fleet of military pickup trucks, they might be able to survive for a while longer."
By the campfire, Hu Ming opened the lid of the beer bottle with his thumb, stuffed it into his brother, and said softly.
"Huaxia! Where do you think we are now?"
"If this were any other small country, let alone military vehicles, even heavy munitions, I could get you as much as you want, but for China, don't even think about military vehicles!"
Aning rolled his eyes and said angrily.
She knew what Hu Ming was worried about, but there was no way, conditions were limited, and better equipment was not something they could get.
In fact, for the rest of the journey, when modern transportation is not available, the camel caravan is the best choice.
But the problem is that Aning brings too many people, more than fifty people!
Coupled with all kinds of messy equipment and facilities, if you want to be able to carry all these things, the number of camel teams would have to be hundreds of peaks at least.
The camel team with hundreds of peaks is already quite large, bloated, and prone to trouble. That is, such a huge camel team, just gathering together, can easily attract the attention of the local government.
As for this group of people, there are more or less problems with their identities and they cannot withstand investigation.
"There's nothing we can do about it. I've walked the road ahead once, and I can tell you clearly when we arrive at our destination."
"Of these seventeen or eight cars, it's God's mercy that there are only seven or eight left in the end... The environment ahead is far worse than you can imagine."
"As for people...just thank God if you can survive even half of it!"
Hu Ming shrugged as he downed a bottle of beer.
These days, although some people advocate that humans have conquered firewood.
But in fact, the safe places for firewood in Nuoda are limited to the areas radiated by the road network, which only accounts for about 2% of the entire basin.
The remaining 98% is desert, swamp, and salt cap.
Under the harsh natural environment, these fifty people and a dozen cars were all crammed in without even a splash.
Too many people die in no man's land every year, and there is no shortage of these fifty withered bones.
"Then do you have any good suggestions?" Aning was silent.
She knew that Hu Ming was not trying to scare her with alarmism.
"Is there any good way? If you want to enter Chaidamu, it is best to make a decision in advance to lose your life at any time. In this way, maybe you can be more open-minded before dying?"
"Since ancient times, people who want to go deep into no-man's land to challenge nature have always stuck their heads in their belts, without exception."
Hu Ming said calmly.
The cruelty and ruthlessness of nature is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Looking at the meditative An Ning, Hu Ming shook his head boredly.
These people, to put it bluntly, still haven't learned the lesson of Tiangong and his party. They underestimate the natural environment and the ancients too much.
After saying this, Hu Ming was no longer interested in saying anything else.
Several people sat silently by the campfire for a long time until late at night, when they each got into their sleeping bags to rest.
The moon is at the zenith.
The moon in the Gobi is a bit brighter than the moon in big cities.
At this time, except for the people keeping watch at the outermost perimeter, everyone had fallen into a sweet dream.
at this time.
In the camp, two pairs of bright eyes opened.
It's Hu Ming and my little brother.
The two looked at each other and smiled...well, actually, the younger brother was still expressionless, but Hu Ming smiled softly.
The two of them got out of their sleeping bags in perfect agreement and walked towards another camp, where Dingzhu Dolma's camp was located.
After the two figures disappeared, the blind man muttered a few words with his eyes closed, then turned over and continued to have a sweet dream.
...
…
Not long after, Hu Ming and his brother had arrived at Dingzhu Dolma's camp.
The two of them didn't talk nonsense and sat cross-legged on the blanket beside the bonfire, looking with burning eyes at the grandson's wife next to Dingzhu Dolma.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit eerie and silent.
"You two guys are as boring as ever. Don't you know it's rude to just stare at a lady like this?"
"Also, what do you mean if you don't speak? Who can remain silent longer than anyone else? It's boring. Are you kids?"
After a long time, Chen Wenjin seemed to have given up, and spoke helplessly first.
"But, I see, don't you also enjoy it?"
Hu Ming smiled heartily, stood up, came forward, and gave Chen Wenjin a gentle hug.
"Long time no see, Wen Jin! It's great to see you are still safe."
"Long time no see, Hu Ming!"
Chen Wenjin said softly with a nostalgic tone.
"What about you, Zhang Qiling? It's been a long time since we last met, old friend. Don't you have any words to express?"
Chen Wenjin looked at Zhang Qiling with a slight smile.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The little brother was sitting there motionless like Pluto, with a cold expression on his face and only his lips moving slightly.
"You are as indifferent as ever..."
"But having said that, I have been wearing this human skin mask for a long time and no one can recognize me. How did you recognize me at a glance?"
Chen Wenjin held her forehead and sighed as if it was true. Finally, she couldn't help but ask.
"People from the Zhang family are best at human skin masks, and in the last century, human skin masks have been used too widely. As long as you are careful, it is not difficult to detect them."
"As for Hu Ming...his intuition is extremely sharp, almost precognitive. It is not difficult to know that it is you."
