After we parted ways, the top priority that made us anxious was how to locate the coordinates of Shen Xiaoyu and the others?
Now they seem to be facing an unprecedented crisis.
It often takes a long time before they reply to us sporadically.
We had no choice but to use the most primitive search and rescue method: searching based on the strength of the signal light on the walkie-talkie!
The closer the distance is, the stronger the radio signal will be and the signal light will flash brighter and faster.
On the contrary, if it is further away, the signal light will dim.
In this way, we rode camels through the desert, and the little red light flickering on and off along the way became our guidepost for moving forward and backward.
After searching and searching, we gradually discovered a strange result. The location of Shen Xiaoyu and the others seemed to be exactly the same as the location of the ghost signal just now...
I swallowed my saliva and cautiously asked Lao Jiang, "Master, could this be a trap?"
Old Jiang smoked another cigarette with a dark face, and when all that was left was the butt of the cigarette, he threw it away: "It's a trap, but we have to fall into it. We have no choice anymore."
When these words came out of his black-sword unicorn mouth, he felt a bit more chilled for some reason.
I don’t know if it’s because the sun is setting in the west, but I feel like I’m getting colder and colder, but the signal lights are getting brighter and brighter.
At this time, we had been searching in the desert for a whole afternoon. Lao Jiang said: "The distance should be very close..."
Suddenly, Lin Qiusheng in the team pointed his hand forward and shouted: "Everyone, there seems to be water ahead."
We followed the direction of his finger and took a closer look. There seemed to be an oasis in the distance. The oasis was surrounded by a thin river. It should be that river that gave us the nutrients of life.
But I became frightened again because of the appearance of this oasis. It’s really weird to see an oasis appear out of thin air in a vast desert, not to mention that this is the ‘Desert of the Undead’, which is known as a forbidden area of death?
What's even more strange is that this oasis can't be seen to the end at a glance. The end of the green is not yellow, but a hazy white.
But the signal came from there, and after weighing all kinds of considerations, we decided to enter.
When I stepped onto the oasis, I discovered that the plants growing here were green plants with very long leaves, like orchids.
Lao Jiang told us: "This is called Welwitschia, and it is known as the immortal grass in the desert. Even in places where it doesn't rain all year round, it can survive tenaciously, but..."
"Just what?" we asked one after another.
Lao Jiang frowned slightly and said, "It's just that the Welwitschia here seems different from what I've seen before."
We looked at each other and stared closely at the green plant. We saw bright red stamens blooming from the top of the orchid-like grass, like burning life.
Lao Jiang continued: "I have never seen Welwitschia blooming before, but have you noticed the Welwitschia here? All of them have bloomed..."
This was the first time Lao Jiang saw Welwitschia blooming, and what bloomed were bloody flowers.
Although everyone thought the flower was a bit weird, they didn't dwell too much on it, and their eyes unconsciously moved to another place.
It was a small river flowing quietly among Welwitschia. Someone in the team suddenly swallowed hard, which made me feel that my throat was smoking, my tongue was dry, and my whole body was screaming: I want water. I want to drink!
Everyone was attracted by the river in front of us, because we didn’t carry much water. Ayimhan always reminded us to drink sparingly. After such a trip, everyone was already very hungry and thirsty. .
It's okay if you can't see it, so you can stop thinking about it. Now the body's survival instinct is almost eating away the last sanity in the brain.
Just like a person who has been hungry for days and nights, a delicious meal suddenly appears in front of him. Who can bear it?
The sound of swallowing was heard in the team, and even Lao Jiang couldn't help but wipe his mouth, but he still remained calm and waved his hand: "Wait a minute, let me and Ximei check it out. "
Lao Jiang is an extremely cautious person. After he and He Lanxue checked it with their own methods and unanimously confirmed that the water was non-toxic, they allowed us to drink it happily and fill up the water bladders on the camels.
Yin Ling'er even washed her face happily, turning her dusty little face back to the look of a porcelain doll, which was really cute.
"We have to remember this river and fill it with water when we get back. By the way, we can also call Sister Peacock and others to replenish the water source."
Yin Ling'er said happily, unable to hide the smile on her face.
After my stomach was full, I burped and remembered something, and asked Lao Jiang: "Could it be that Shen Xiaoyu and the others are in the oasis?"
Lao Jiang looked at the dazzling red light and replied: "One hundred percent."
Could it be that Shen Xiaoyu and the others finally found the oasis, but were trapped by something inside?
Saving people is like putting out fire. We raced against time to enter this oasis.
Just walking around, I felt something wasn't quite right. Logically speaking, it is impossible for fog to occur in the desert, but before we knew it, fog gradually began to appear around us. It was very light at first and did not attract anyone's attention at all. But gradually the fog became thicker and thicker. Deep, by the time we discovered it, the path we came from had been completely covered by dense white mist.
There is fog in all directions to the west, and what is even weirder is that this fog comes very strangely, without any warning!
It was as if there were countless invisible ghosts in the Western Zhou Dynasty, completely surrounding us.
Lin Qiusheng asked if he wanted to go back?
Lao Jiang looked at the indicator light with a dark face and gritted his teeth: "Keep going!"
The fog is getting thicker and thicker. At first we could vaguely see the road in the distance, but then the fog turned into milk color, like a ghost covering our eyes, so that we could only see clearly about ten steps ahead.
We walked through the fog, and my heart couldn't help but lift up in my throat.
Banban stayed by my side, and his tall figure gave me full comfort. However, at this moment, I suddenly thought of the telegram that Shen Xiaoyu replied to before: "We are in a dark fog, with no way to the sky and no way to the earth..."
I looked at Old Jiang suddenly, and saw that Old Jiang was also looking at me. We both had wrinkled faces, and both of us smiled bitterly.
Obviously the tacit understanding between master and disciple has long made us want to work together!
But Lao Jiang was obviously more experienced than me. He took out his pistol, filled it with a red bullet, and said, "We can only give it a try."
That was the last flare in his hand!
As the trigger was pressed, the illumination bomb soared into the sky, a burst of explosions pierced the sky, and then we saw an unusually bright light exploding in the fog.
"He's saved now..." Lin Qiusheng was overjoyed, but soon his smile froze on his face.
All of us couldn't laugh anymore, because outside the fog was a thicker, deeper and whiter fog!
I turned around stiffly, and there was nothing left in the oasis where I could still vaguely see the shadow. The orchids were gone, the river was gone, and the only thing left was a vast expanse of white.
"Old Jiang, what should I do?"
Lao Jiang had a gloomy face that looked like it could drip water. He took out the compass from his arms and said angrily: "I don't believe it. I can't break this demonic barrier today."
He wanted to use the compass and walk in one direction to get out of the thick fog. It was impossible for the entire desert to be shrouded in fog, right?
However, something strange happened. The needle of the compass seemed to be stuck by something and was motionless.
Lao Jiang shook the compass hard, but it remained motionless. No matter what methods he tried, this thing no longer pointed the way.
This time Lao Jiang finally gave up, and he showed a look that was about to burst into tears: "Let me tell you, that bitch Shen Xiaoyu, if he didn't encounter a huge disaster, he wouldn't even think of me..."
"He's not asking for help, he's clearly asking us to be buried with him!"
The team immediately exploded: "What do you mean, then we will never be able to get out?"
"Ling'er doesn't want to die in this fog."
Everyone was talking about it, and as we were talking, there was sudden movement on the crow's back.
That's Xiao Hei!
The golden eagle Xiaohei, who was originally sleepy and dozing, suddenly stood upright with his head erect.
Its two golden eyes rolled in their sockets, and then it flapped its wings uncontrollably, making frightened sounds of "woo" and "woo" from its mouth.
Xiao Hei seemed to be very anxious, and several of his feathers were shaken off. I didn’t understand the bird language, so I asked the crow what was going on.
The crow's face also changed, and he said word by word: "It has a premonition of death."
An unprecedented atmosphere of terror is spreading along the fog, little by little. In the thick fog that we cannot see, it seems that there is a group of terrifying monsters staring at us!
