It was not dark yet, so Chen Si got up and called everyone to hurry up. Judging from the sky color last night, a big sandstorm was about to appear in this area. Not only Chen Si, but also Tang Maiqiu was also keenly aware of the changes in climate.
, so before resting last night, he had informed all the team members that they should leave as soon as possible this morning. Originally, according to Tang Maiqiu's intention, the team should have broken camp and moved forward last night, but Qinchuan's men and horses were not available for several days.
After resting, they were very sleepy. It was unrealistic to ask them to travel all night, so they could only take the time to rest for a few hours before the team continued to move forward.
According to Qiu Huiyan's opinion, the team should not rush in such extreme weather. However, both Qin Chuan and Chen Si agreed that time was imminent and they must move forward. Furthermore, although they both sensed a big sandstorm,
is coming, but it is impossible to predict when the sandstorm will come. It may be within today, or it may be two or three days later. They simply cannot afford this time. In Lop Nur in June and July, strong winds and heavy sand are extremely normal.
Why did they choose such an extreme period to enter the desert?
Under the command of Chen Si, everyone methodically loaded the water tanks on the camels, and the supplies on the Humvees were also transferred to the camels. Qin Chuan and Chen Si both decided to start using it from now on.
Camels are on their way. Because in a sandstorm, camels are more useful than cars. What's more, some parts of these Hummers are worn out. If they continue to be driven, something may go wrong. By then, just repair the car.
It would take a lot of time.
However, after much deliberation, they chose three well-maintained Hummers and continued to follow the camel team on the road. In one car were Gu Fengchun, Qiu Huiyan and Luo Xiaodan, and in the other car was Qin Qin.
Qin Chuan and Chen Si, but the empty carriages were filled with water reserves. Water resources accounted for more than 80% of the entire team's supplies. However, Qin Chuan and Chen Si still felt that it was not enough, because they knew
, once they started the journey, they did not dare to approach the oases with water sources on the road ahead, because the military must have stationed heavy troops in those places, waiting for them to hit them head-on.
Tang Maiqiu admired Qin Chuan and Chen Si very much. He once crossed the Sahara, the largest desert in the world, alone, and was able to leave safely in extreme environments. If he had to cross the entire Tarim Basin of Lop Nur alive,
In the desert area, he believed that he would survive in the end, but he could not guarantee that the team following him would have the same chance of survival as he did. Seeing that the two people had arranged the team extremely reasonably, every step forward was
He was very cautious, which he felt inferior to.
As soon as the morning sun appeared on the horizon, the frost all over the ground last night was baked clean by the sun. A feeling of sweltering heat soon hit everyone. It became difficult to breathe. Tang Maiqiu Yi
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he smiled bitterly and quickly put on the insulation suit. This was a soft silicone insulation suit specially ordered by Chen Si for the team. It contained liquid nitrogen and could provide good insulation.
The effect of heat preservation. Then he wrapped a white scarf on his head, put on sunglasses, and held up a sun umbrella. After saying hello to Xiao Zhonghua at the end of the team, he then stepped on the leading one.
On the camel.
Qin Chuan also brought out all the elites this time. In addition to masters like Honeysuckle and Bronze, Shan Zifeng, a scumbag, was also dragged out. We haven't seen him for a long time. He was as sinister as ever, but under the burning sun, his whole body was...
They are all a bit listless.
"Let's set off." Tang Maiqiu said into the microphone of the communicator, and then patted the camel and moved forward.
The world inside the Hummer is completely different from the outside. The high-power air conditioner inside is blowing out a stream of cold air. The temperature inside will never exceed 20 degrees Celsius, but the temperature outside has already exceeded 40 degrees Celsius.
Gu Fengchun was sitting in the passenger seat, listening to the communicator; the voice came from inside. The driver in the car was Hu Zhibo, and in the back seat were Qiu Huiyan (Su Qing) and Luo Xiaodan. The car slowly followed the camel team.
, Hu Zhibo turned on the solar panels, absorbing heat and converting it into kinetic energy for the car. However, the energy consumption of this Hummer is too exaggerated. The electricity converted by the solar panels can maintain the normal operation of the air conditioner in the car.
It's pretty good.
The relationship between Luo Xiaodan and Qiu Huiyan seemed to be very good. They whispered a lot to each other. Gu Fengchun was too lazy to listen. He just paid attention to the movement of the team because he heard Chen Si warned that the weather here was
It will get worse soon. This is a very bad sign. But Gu Fengchun also knows that it has been almost ten days since they entered the desert. The sunny days in these ten days have been particularly kind to God. According to what his father sent him before,
Some information came that their archaeological team was being harassed by wind and sand almost every day, and that the archaeological excavation work had entered a dead end and was about to come to a standstill.
Hearing such news, Gu Fengchun was also worried for his father, but he was even more worried about his own journey. No matter how advanced the technology the team was equipped with, they all seemed extremely powerless in the face of the unpredictable nature.
Qin Chuan was holding a map and a pencil in his hand, making different marks on the map. Chen Si also stared at the map and listened to Qin Chuan's words from time to time.
People are discussing where the military's interception force is and how to avoid these deadly pursuits. In this regard, Chen Si is obviously not as experienced as Qin Chuan, because Qinchuan has been attracting the main force of the military these days, allowing Chen Si to
The pressure on Si has become very light, so Qin Chuan has the absolute say in this aspect.
The two discussed for a while, and then discussed the information Qiu Huiyan brought last night. Regarding the US task force sneaking into this area, both of them paid great attention to it and discussed several corresponding measures, but they did not take any measures.
Putting too much energy into it, with this army of rice, it can actually reduce the military's ability to monitor itself. Both Qin Chuan and Chen Si are aware of this.
"Everyone, pay attention, there are people ahead! They are equipped with weapons!" Tang Maiqiu's voice came quickly. There was a brief commotion in the team. The entire team has been under sniper fire from the military since setting off from Dunhuang.
, the first thought in their minds at this moment is: "Has the military discovered us?!"
