After marching all the way to a flat rocky mountain at the bottom of Devil's City, the team stopped.
After arriving, all the surviving cars were considered dead and completely finished.
Among the entire team, Tashi is the one who knows the strange landforms of Devil City the best.
Immediately, the team began to set up camp under the command of Tashi.
Two hours later, when everyone is ready.
Sure enough, it was just as Hu Ming and Dingzhu Zhuoma expected.
The wind picked up again.
In less than a moment, the sandstorm that covered the sky and sun broke out again, even three times more violent than the previous sandstorm.
Because of the special landform here, there are waves of ghosts crying and howling in the Devil City.
It wasn't until late in the night, when the wind gradually receded, that the permeating sound subsided, and everyone fell asleep one after another.
The two white men who were keeping watch at night, because they were very interested in the Devil City, took Tashi inside to take pictures.
What's a Chinese saying? Misfortune lies where blessings depend.
When people are always in bad luck, there will always be sudden good luck... right?
By the time it got light, the sandstorm had completely subsided.
At the same time, shouts of surprise from the white men keeping watch spread throughout the camp.
"Ning! Everyone, come here quickly!"
"We have found Ah K, and there are others. The team doctor is coming quickly. Their condition is not very good and they need urgent treatment!"
Ah K is one of the fifteen missing people.
Hearing this, Aning's men immediately woke up from their sleep, jumped up, took three steps at a time and then rushed over.
"Found it? Here? Not a single person, but several people gathered together?"
In the tent of Hu Ming and others, the blind man murmured softly while nestling in his sleeping bag.
"..It's no use guessing here. Just go and take a look and you'll know."
Lighting a cigarette, Hu Ming pondered for a moment and said softly.
Immediately, a few people stopped talking nonsense, opened their sleeping bags, and followed the flow of people and walked over.
Wu Xie, on the other hand, looked at the three people thoughtfully with a confused look on his face.
He was a little confused. Shouldn't it be a good thing that the missing person was found? Why didn't the expressions of these three people look right?
Is it possible that there is something wrong with the identity of these people?
Suddenly, Wu Xie remembered that Hu Ming and the blind man mentioned "getting together" emphatically once, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Getting together... that's right! You can't tell anything in a sandstorm. You can hardly see the person in front of you from three meters away."
"How did these people form a team in a sandstorm?"
"Moreover, in the raging sandstorm, it accurately appeared in Devil's City, the outer line of defense of Tamuta... It seems a bit too coincidental, right?"
Suddenly, Wu Xie seemed to understand something.
"Could it be that... these people are related to the mysterious "him" among our people mentioned in Aunt Wenjin's message?"
Following Hu Ming and others, Wu Xie subconsciously murmured in a low voice.
"Oh, that's okay. My eldest nephew, you are indeed a brainiac. You actually guessed something?"
Hearing this, Hu Ming and others raised their eyebrows and looked at Wu Xie in surprise.
Especially the blind man and the little brother, they suddenly felt that they had underestimated Wu Xie before.
You know, Wu Xie is different from them in that he doesn't have much information.
But it is not easy to guess this step based on only trivial clues.
"Uncle Ming, you mean, my guess is correct?"
"It can only be said that there is a high probability that this is the case. "His" penetration ability is beyond ordinary people's imagination. It is not surprising that "he" is among Aning's people."
"What's more, where are there so many coincidences in this world? Behind all seemingly coincidences is necessity!"
Hu Ming blew out a smoke ring leisurely and said softly.
"Then...can you tell me, who is that 'him'?"
Wu Xie looked at Hu Ming expectantly.
This was the first time that Hu Ming seemed to be relenting and mentioned these things in front of him.
"Want to know?" Hu Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Um!"
Wu Xie nodded and looked at Hu Ming expectantly.
"If you want to know, ask your third uncle and your aunt Wenjin! I just don't want to tell you! Are you going to bite me?"
Amid the blind man's evil smile, Hu Ming grinned evilly.
"Your uncle's!"
Opening his mouth, Wu Xie's face turned dark instantly, and he cursed in his heart.
As for scolding...he's not that stupid.
…
…
The team members found by the white men who kept vigil at night, including Ah K, totaled six people, accounting for less than half of the missing people.
But unfortunately, four of these six people were no longer breathing.
They found out too late.
The four bodies of these two people were lying at the bottom of a sand pit behind a mound.
Immediately, Aning's people became energetic and hurriedly went to carry the person.
The two lucky guys were carried back to the tent and handed over to the team doctor for first aid.
Find a place to bury the four dead unfortunates.
Now that conditions are limited, their bodies can only be simply wrapped and buried on the spot in the Gobi.
Hu Ming and others silently watched An Ning's people busy at work.
"In a sandstorm like yesterday, the wind speed was about 160 to 170 kilometers per hour."
"Blind man, if it were you, marching nearly fifty kilometers against the wind on foot, knowing full well that you could die on the road at any time, would you do this?"
Suddenly, Hu Ming narrowed his eyes and asked softly.
"Unless there is some reason why I have to risk my life to do this, any fool would be wise to find a safe haven nearby."
The blind man adjusted the frame of his sunglasses, with an unknown smile still on his lips, and his lips moved slightly.
"What if, after receiving a death order, we must enter Tamuta before us and find its secrets?"
Hu Ming said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"It doesn't matter whether it is or not."
"Whether it's the people who take the Qiude test or "his" people, none of these people can even think of entering the Tamutuo!"
The smile on the blind man’s lips became brighter and brighter.
The two of them were talking to each other, as if there was no one around, and the younger brother just stood there quietly.
And Wu Xie... was completely confused.
The words of these two people, especially the last sentence of the blind man, contained so much information!
Emotionally, these three people who followed An Ning's team were not bribed by An Ning's money to work for An Ning.
Instead, they are secretly waiting to trick people like Aning?
Wu Xie felt a little sad about his naivety.
Also, among these three people, which one is not an old goblin? How could he be bribed with money so easily?
For a moment, Wu Xie looked at the busy Aning's back with pity.
It’s dark, the roads are slippery, and society is complicated!
