Perhaps because of boredom, or because Lin Zhiming was no different from ordinary people at this time, Lin Zhiming and Li Dan chatted for most of the night, and they didn't fall asleep until two o'clock in the morning.
When I woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.
Li Dan woke up Lin Zhiming and brought good news to Lin Zhiming.
All the roads to and from Tangsha Town have been cleared, and vehicles can enter and exit Tangsha Town normally.
"Has the communication not been restored yet?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It is expected that the base station will be restored until the evening. I just went out and heard that the emergency repair team will arrive at noon!" Li Dan said.
"Oh..." Lin Zhiming thought for a moment and then said, "Then let's go find the stone first."
"Now? Why don't you wait to contact your people?" Li Dan asked.
"It's not too late. I'll go find the stone now and come back later. The signal will probably be restored. Then I'll ask my people to come over." Lin Zhiming said.
"That's okay, I can do it. Anyway, our car won't go out until tomorrow to carry goods," Li Dan said.
"It's not too late, let's go!" Lin Zhiming said.
"good!"
The two simply packed up and left Li Dan's residence. After that, Li Dan took Lin Zhiming to a store in the town and bought water and dry food. Lin Zhiming also met Li Dan for the first time. My girlfriend Ahua.
Ahua is the daughter of a shop owner in the town. She is in her early twenties. She has just graduated from college and has not yet found a job, so she went home to help her family look after the shop.
Ahua is very good-looking, and she is also good at dressing up. She is carrying a small LV bag and her hair is permed into big waves, giving her the look of an urban girl.
"Ahua, let's go out for a trip. It won't take long for us to come back. Please wait for me at home!" Li Dan said looking at Ahua, with a happy smile on his face.
"Oh, I got it." Ahua lowered her head and was playing a game, not looking at Li Dan.
"Let's go and meet Lao Huang." Li Dan said, leading Lin Zhiming to the other side of the town.
"Li Dan, how did you fall in love with Ahua?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"We are both from Tangsha Town. We have known each other for a long time, but we only fell in love last year. How about it? I have good taste." Li Dan said proudly.
"He looks pretty good." Lin Zhiming nodded, and then said, "But he doesn't look like someone who would drive with you to make money."
"That's okay. According to what is said on the Internet, I am responsible for making money to support the family, and she is responsible for looking beautiful." Li Dan said.
"It's a beautiful thought." Lin Zhiming smiled and didn't say anything more. Although it was just the first time he saw Ahua, Lin Zhiming was not optimistic about Li Dan and Ahua, because Li Dan was a down-to-earth person. The clothes on my body have been worn for several years, and I have never read any books. Ahua graduated from a university in a big city. She knows how to dress up and has been exposed to many things. The two of them are not on the same channel. Generally speaking, there will be no good results when it comes to falling in love.
However, this is someone else's love life after all, so Lin Zhiming couldn't say much. He could only wish Li Dan, a bad guy, a good outcome in his heart.
The two came to the other end of the town and met Huang Jie, who had already finished a jeep. The jeep was specially equipped with wheels that could adapt to the Gobi Desert.
"You have to give me money when I find a stone for you, do you understand?" Huang Jie said.
"I know!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
Afterwards, a group of people got into a jeep and drove north.
"I don't remember that place very well. I probably know the direction. It may take me a while to find it." Li Dan said while sitting in the car.
"It's okay, we have plenty of time now!" Lin Zhiming said.
"I really don't understand what you businessmen can do with a stone." Huang Jie curled his lips and said.
Lin Zhiming smiled and looked outside the car.
Outside the car was the continuous Gobi Desert, extremely desolate, and the town of Tangsha had disappeared behind them.
Lin Zhiming likes the northwest and the desert very much, because the desert always reminds him of heroes.
When he was a child, Lin Zhiming didn't want to go out because he would be bullied when he went out, so he stayed at home and watched the hero movies over and over again. Whenever he saw the heroes in the movies punishing the bad guys, he would imagine that he had become a hero.
A lonely shadow, yellow sand, and a sword.
The long river, the setting sun, and a wisp of smoke in the Gobi Desert.
This was almost Lin Zhiming's dream when he was young.
The car was moving forward quickly. About an hour after driving, Li Dan pointed to the east and said, "Drive over there."
As soon as Huang Jie turned the steering wheel, the car jumped out of the road and then moved quickly on the Gobi Desert.
The car's shock absorbers are very good, but the Gobi Desert is full of gravel and various pits, and the whole car is constantly vibrating.
"The dune buggy club at that time was in that area, and I started from there and kept going east. About five kilometers away, I went astray and walked to the northwest." Li Dan said while pointing around. .
Huang Jie is an experienced driver. Li Dan just said that and he knew how to drive.
As time goes by, there is more and more sand on the roadside. It is very far away from the road. There are sand dunes everywhere on the roadside. The dunes are large and small. Huang Jie drives his car sometimes up the sand dunes, sometimes from behind. The rapid descent on the sand dunes is extremely exciting.
"Drive that way!" Li Dan pointed in a direction.
Huang Jie immediately turned and looked in the direction Li Dan knew.
Surrounded by sand dunes of similar appearance, Lin Zhiming's memory was pretty good, but he still looked a little confused.
"You can stop!" Li Dan said.
With a squeaking sound, the jeep stopped.
"It should be near this area, but it's been a long time. The wind here is strong and the dust is heavy. I guess the sand dune is no longer what it was when we first saw it. Let's walk around and take a look!" Li Dan said.
Lin Zhiming immediately jumped out of the car.
"I'll light a fire here, you go look for it first, and I'll go later!" Huang Jie said.
"Okay!" Li Dan nodded and said to Lin Zhiming, "After Lao Huang lights the fire, there will be smoke here. Don't be afraid if you walk far away. Follow the direction of the smoke and you can always come back here!"
"Okay!" Lin Zhiming nodded, and then walked aside.
There are sand dunes everywhere, and each sand dune is so big that it is difficult for a jeep to drive up it. No wonder Li Dan asked Huang Jie to park here.
Climbing sand dunes is a physical job, especially for today's Lin Zhiming.
However, in order to find the energy stone, Lin Zhiming could only climb over the sand dunes one by one.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhiming walked a long way and climbed over two sand dunes.
In a certain direction in the distance, a long black smoke rose into the sky, which was where we got off the bus just now.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining on the body, which made people feel uncomfortable. Although the temperature was not high, the strong sunshine and the strong wind quickly put the body in a state of dehydration.
Lin Zhiming sweated a lot, and as soon as he sweated, it was immediately dried by the wind. After doing this many times, there were actually some white salt spots on his face.
Lin Zhiming didn't know how long it had been since he had worked so hard. He felt as if he had run a marathon, and every step was extremely difficult.
But even so, Lin Zhiming was still searching seriously, because only by finding the energy stone could he recover as soon as possible.
Time passed little by little, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.
The smoke was already far away from Lin Zhiming, but it could still be seen.
"Huh!" Lin Zhiming sat down on the ground and exhaled a long breath.
After a continuous search, no energy stones were found at all, which made Lin Zhiming a little frustrated.
However, he is not a person who gives up easily. He can search millions of times in the secret realm of despair. Here, he will not stop searching because there is no result.
After resting for a while, Lin Zhiming got up again and walked around.
At this moment, Li Dan's surprised voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"I found it, Lin Hao, I found the stone!"
Lin Zhiming was overjoyed and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Where is it?"
"I don't know what to say. You put off the flare and I'll ask Lao Huang to pick you up!" Li Dan said.
Lin Zhiming quickly pulled out the flare gun from his waist and fired the flare into the sky.
The sky was already a little dark at this time, and the signal flare immediately emitted a dazzling light.
After firing the signal gun, Lin Zhiming waited there for about half an hour when the roar of an engine came.
Huang Jie drove a jeep to Lin Zhiming.
"You can really walk. It's so difficult to drive this way. Get in the car!" Huang Jie said.
Lin Zhiming didn't say much, climbed into the car, and then headed towards Li Dan with Huang Jie.
Ten minutes later, Lin Zhiming met Li Dan.
At this time, Li Dan was standing under a huge sand dune, holding a hexagonal stone in his hand and waving it towards Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming's eyes immediately lit up.
The jeep drove quickly in front of Li Dan. As soon as the car stopped, Lin Zhiming jumped out of the car and ran to Li Dan.
Li Dan held an energy stone in his hand, and there were several more on the ground.
These energy stones vary in size, but their shapes are exactly the same.
"Is this the stone you want?" Li Dan asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Zhiming nodded repeatedly. Although he had already developed a big heart, Lin Zhiming still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart when he saw so many energy stones.
Of these stones, he must have seen nearly ten!
With so many energy stones, he can't take off?
Lin Zhiming took an energy stone from Li Dan's hand.
As soon as I touched it, a familiar voice sounded in my mind.
"The energy stone is connected successfully. The remaining energy of the energy stone is 2%. Charging begins..."
"Charging successful..."
Lin Zhiming saw that the number on his arm changed again, from -0.58% to -0.5%.
"Only 2% of the remaining energy is a bit low!" Lin Zhiming sighed inwardly, then threw the energy stone aside and bent down to pick up another energy stone.
