The name "Devil's Castle" sounds full of murderous intent.
In this desert, there are ubiquitous quicksands, criss-crossed stone forests with jagged rocks, and a huge area of the Gobi Desert terrain mixed in. In the Gobi Desert, there are many extremely tenacious lives.
Sand wolves, sand foxes, gerbils, etc., and even desert rattlesnakes run rampant here.
These are only the most basic sources of biological crises. In the desert, the biggest crisis actually does not come from the outside world, but from people themselves. To be clear, it is dehydration.
The temperature in the desert is hot. As long as the sun appears, it will scorch the earth enthusiastically. The sand has already become hot under the scorching sun.
Under such circumstances, the human body needs to replenish at least one liter of water every hour.
However, for Adam's men who were carrying heavy equipment, the rate of water loss was much faster than that of others. Therefore, in less than two hours after entering the Devil's Castle, the amount of water in their backpacks was reduced.
At least four bottles of mineral water were consumed, and each person only carried ten bottles in his backpack.
The queen bee found a relatively safe place and stopped temporarily.
This is a stone forest. There are many winding sand belts around the stone forest. Those who don't know it think they are ordinary sand. However, the queen bee picked up a stone and threw it on one of the sand belts. After a while,
, the stone was swallowed up cleanly.
Seeing this, Alice couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and so did Adam on the side. He walked up to the queen bee, looked at the solemn look on the queen bee's face, hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to say: "Thank you."
This thank you came out of the blue. The Queen Bee turned her head to look at Adam, shook her head calmly, and whispered: "You don't have to thank me. If we can get out alive, it won't be too late to thank me then."
The queen bee's words made Adam smile bitterly and nod. He had just come in. As the sky gradually turned dark, the first day passed just like that.
"Mr. Adam, where is your destination?" Chu Yan suddenly spoke at this time. He is not the queen bee, and his way of thinking about problems is different from the queen bee.
When Adam hesitated, Chu Yan continued to add: "There are only three days. To be precise, there are more than two days. If you have a goal, we will do it as quickly and directly as possible without wasting time."
progress."
Chu Yan didn't ask them what they were doing here, he just used a relatively euphemistic explanation.
Adam and Alice looked at each other, and after a simple and short exchange, Adam continued: "There is no specific goal. In the remaining time, we just need to take us around as much as possible.
"
Adam's words were nonsense. Chu Yan knew this very well. He brought so many professional mercenaries here and lost half of them before entering.
Even under such circumstances, they still insisted on entering the devil's castle, but now they said that they had no specific goal. Even if it was Chu Yan, even a child would not believe it.
Adam made it clear that he didn't want to say anything, and Chu Yan naturally wouldn't press for questioning. The queen bee on the side looked at the sky in the distance, then looked at the surrounding environment, and finally said to Chu Yan: "This stone forest
It's the only place that can be considered safe within a radius of ten kilometers. If we continue walking, I'm afraid it will be difficult at night."
Although the Queen Bee's words seemed to be meant for Chu Yan, they were also meant for Adam and Alice. Because the two of them brought so many subordinates and bulky equipment, they naturally had trouble coming here.
Very clear purpose.
However, the result of Chu Yan's question was that the other party was unwilling to disclose it at all, so the Queen Bee was too lazy to continue taking risks. She did not want to lead these people into the realm of death on the first day they entered the devil's castle.
Alice immediately came over and looked at the queen bee with a curious look on her face: "What? Are you here today? It's still early, we can still walk at least three to five kilometers."
Alice's words originally made sense, but Chu Yan on the side directly took over her words: "Miss Alice, you are right, but within a radius of ten kilometers around here, here is
It is the only place that can be considered relatively safe. If you insist on continuing to walk, we will have no objection, but, again, you will bear the consequences of whatever happens."
Chu Yan didn't have a good impression of Alice, because in Chu Yan's impression, Alice was too arrogant.
For such a woman, Chu Yan's attitude has always been to give no face. Moreover, what Chu Yan said is true. The desert is full of dangers. The seemingly peaceful desert contains unimaginable dangers and murderous intentions.
Chu Yan's words made Alice feel a little stuck for a moment, because Adam had insisted on acting alone before, and Queen Bee had reminded him in this tone. If he didn't listen, the result would be that the mercenary team of sixteen people would be directly damaged by more than 100 people.
half.
Now, she wanted to continue. When she walked a little longer, Chu Yan stood up and asked the same question. This time, it was Alice's turn to make the decision.
She looked at Chu Yan, and then at the queen bee on the side. Finally, she chose to persist: "I have already seen the crisis, and since we have already entered here, there is no need for us to slack off. Adam, what do you think?"
Alice's words have already shown her attitude. She wants to continue walking, and she puts life and death aside in her words.
Adam also nodded and echoed Alice's statement: "Yes, I agree with Alice's decision. We only have three days here. I must walk around as much as possible. Can I find it?"
I don’t know the goal of our trip myself, but if we slack off like this, I think the gains and costs of our trip will be completely out of proportion.”
"In this case." Chu Yan looked at Adam and Alice, nodded seriously, and then continued: "Then we will respect your opinions and continue to move forward, but please give us a direction, aimless chaos
Walking will only lead you to the door of death."
Chu Yan's words were not a threat, but were telling an ordinary fact.
Alice and Adam whispered a few words softly. After a brief exchange, they pointed to the right rear of Chu Yan and Queen Bee, and replied with certainty: "That direction."
"Are you sure?" The queen bee looked at the direction Alice was pointing, and instantly became more vigilant. Then, before Chu Yan could ask her question, she continued: "That direction is the direction of Shahu Lake, and there is
One of the absolutely forbidden places in the Devil's Castle."
The queen bee's words made Alice and Adam look at each other, then nodded with a smile and affirmed: "If it is a forbidden place, that's right. We would like to see it."
Alice's words sounded heroic, but in fact they were not the case at all.
Adam's hands were equipped with detection equipment, and among all the direction detections, the one with the strongest response was the direction of Shahu Lake, so they chose to go there to find out.
The queen bee also knew this in her heart, but since the other party proposed such a first move, he would not refuse anything. After all, what Beyoncé promised must be fulfilled. This is related to her personal reputation.
things.
As for how many of these people can make it out, the queen bee doesn't know, but she has a bottom line in her heart. As long as she keeps the bottom line, other things will be allowed to develop.
The queen bee could see that Alice and Adam had made up their minds, so she said no more, picked up her weapon, and then whispered: "It takes four hours to reach Shahu.
The night will come very quickly, and it will be dark in two hours at most. At that time, we need to set up camp immediately, do you agree?"
The queen bee's voice was firm and powerful. After finishing her words, her eyes looking at Alice and Adam were also filled with chills.
Adam and Alice nodded and agreed to the queen bee's arrangement: "Okay, no problem, we will set up camp as soon as it gets dark."
Seeing that Alice and Adam had agreed to her conditions, the Queen Bee immediately turned around, and while setting off, she whispered in Chu Yan's ear: "Be careful tonight."
While speaking, the Queen Bee also stuffed something into Chu Yan's palm.
