552. Prepare for New Year's Eve

As night approached, the power of the obscuring sandstorm was getting stronger, and the visibility around the convoy began to become less and less visible.

A searchlight fixed above the roof of the head car is emitting a scorching white light at this time, and in the past, as long as it is turned on, it will illuminate the surroundings as if it were daytime, but now the range has been reduced to the point where people can only see a small area in front of the car, and then in the distance is the light that is getting darker and darker in the dust until it disappears.

But fortunately, after all, it has been preparing for more than half a year, and the people of the entire team brainstormed almost all the troubles they would encounter after coming to Lop Nur, and almost prepared everything that could be prepared under the condition that they could carry it.

It used to be a dangerous place, but now with the blessing of high technology, this group of brave people is no longer too afraid.

The modified SUV let out an angry roar and was taking the entire convoy away from the direction the sandstorm was going to pass.

The range of the searchlight became larger and larger, and it was only when it finally returned to its original range that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"My good man, it's finally out, although I'm not worried in my heart, but it's always a little hairy!"

"That's right, our brother Liu has been here more than once, and this situation is sprinkled!"

"Haha, we have to get something delicious that night, we don't have to worry about eating this dinner, just to avoid this sandstorm, let's just have supper and dinner together!"

In the car walkie-talkie, almost everyone was chatting in twos and threes, and some people admired Brother Liu who took them out of the sandstorm from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, anyway, we still have more supplies in the car, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, brothers and sisters, our heart's wish can be completed tonight, tomorrow we can go home, let us build it tonight!"

In the co-pilot seat of the head car, the sturdy man known as Brother Liu turned around and handed over the handheld GPS terminal and map that had been held all the way to the person sitting behind, and then lit a cigarette and completely relaxed, and by the way, he was still lying on the open window and looking at the 'black cloud' that was gradually moving away.

"This seems to be the eighth sandstorm I've ever seen, but fortunately, there is no danger, and I can pass safely every time!"

......

"There are only 8 days left, and I have been in Lop Nur for almost a month before I know it!"

On the last day of 2019, Zhang Yang spent the whole afternoon and did not continue to hurry, nor did he rush to the deep boundary of Lop Nur demarcated by the system in advance according to his own ideas---- waiting for the end of the mission.

It is rare that the weather is very good today, the dark night sky is flashing bright stars, which is rare but not uncommon in this season, and the area around the RV almost does not feel the wind blowing, although the temperature is a little low, but it does not affect Zhang Yang and He Xiaoman's idea of preparing for the New Year's Eve in this place.

"Yes, there are only 8 days left, I didn't expect that we have been here for a month before we knew it, husband, are we going to sleep in a tent tonight?"

After just getting off the car and moving the ingredients needed for the night, He Xiaoman sorted out the scattered ingredients on the table next to the burning bonfire, and then came to Zhang Yang, who was setting up a tent next to the RV.

Firmly nailed the last fixed rope to the desert with a spike, Zhang Yang picked up the shovel and prepared to reinforce the edge of the tent with sand again, when he happened to hear He Xiaoman's voice behind him, and said slightly sideways while bowing his head and burying the sand there.

"Look at you, if you want to watch the night sky with me at night, let's sleep in a tent, anyway, they don't have to worry about any danger with rhubarb!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang also patted the rhubarb next to him, and by the way, he took out a thermos cup from the small satchel on his back and drank a sip of warm water to moisten his throat, the cold of the desert is the kind of dry cold that comes from the bones, there is almost no moisture in the air, and he feels that his throat is a little dry after working for a while, and he has to replenish the water source at any time.

Raising his hand and stroking the beautiful feathers of the big hair standing on his shoulder, He Xiaoman smiled sweetly, and finally nodded firmly.

"Okay, okay, I saw you replace the top of our tent with transparent plastic sheeting, or let's just lie in the tent at night and watch the night sky, it should be so beautiful!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the pile of fireworks placed in front of the tent door, and couldn't help but say happily.

"I'm going to set off fireworks tonight, I'm going to set off many, many more fireworks!"

The fireworks were prepared in advance by the public, who had calculated the time well before entering Lop Nur, in order to ignite the synthetic bright flowers on this day, illuminate the night sky of the desert, and welcome the arrival of the new year.

"Ok., let's do it!"

Filling the last shovel of sand on the extra tarpaulin at the edge of the tent, Zhang Yang casually plunged the shovel into the sand, then clapped his hands, and the great sage who heard the sound immediately took his cigarette and lighter from the table in the distance.

"That's okay, I remember that many satellite TV stations have New Year's Eve parties tonight, anyway, the projectors are all connected, and then let's sit by the bonfire and choose a New Year's Eve party to watch!"

Isn't it beautiful to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to watch the New Year's Eve party, then set off fireworks by the way, and then lie in the tent and enjoy the starry sky from the transparent plastic cloth through the lifted tarpaulin?!

This is only New Year's Day, and it is not yet the real New Year's Eve of the Xia people, this year can be said to be the first New Year's Day that Zhang Yang and He Xiaoman have spent together, and he still attaches great importance to it, of course, he will pay more attention to it when it comes to the New Year!

The camp has been set up, and the RV is facing north and the rear of the car is facing south according to the wind direction that Zhang Yang observed before, which is very good at blocking the almost imperceptible wind blowing from the east, after all, in the desert, this kind of wind is not sure when it will suddenly become stronger.

The projector was hung on the side of the RV, and the whole camp was set up on the west side of the old RV.

A bonfire burning with a raging fire is exuding its temperature to dispel the cold, and the place where the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is cooked at night is also placed next to the bonfire.

"Prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Xiaoman, you go and wear the skewers, by the way, put the seafood we just moved down next to the thaw, and after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, we will take the skewers and grill the seafood and set off the fireworks, watch the party!!"

It is two orphans who have no home, at this moment when the whole family gets together, the two of them are in the endless desert, and the wandering people also need the warmth of home, Zhang Yang uses his means as much as possible, all the purpose is just to let He Xiaoman not feel lonely, although he is actually a little uncomfortable in his own heart.
