The heat is scorching, and the scorching sun is scorching the hearts and bodies of the people here.

It is the border between Xinjiang and Kazakhstan, and it is the hottest and most scorching border in the whole of Xinjiang.

In front of Li Guo's naked eye, he could see the air distorted by the scorching heat.

"It's really not a place for ordinary people to stay..."

Li Guo muttered, looking at many of the buildings in this Hak Tower, they have been emptied, and people have moved out, after all, the heat flow here is too cruel for ordinary humans.

And in this case, Li Guo can still feel the traces of human tracks.

Only these people will stick to it in such a high heat.

"Is there anyone who hasn't been evacuated?" A voice came not far away, a man in a heavily dressed military uniform, only his eyes were exposed—many people felt that the hotter they were, the less they should wear, but in this place where the sun radiates like rays, wearing less is equivalent to chronic suicide.

This man is the officer and soldier stationed here, the 'gatekeeper' between the country and the country, and the only person in this Haktari who has not been evacuated.

"Where did you come from, didn't you receive an evacuation notice? This place is no longer suitable for human life, evacuate quickly. This man's tone is not very good, and even a little dry, no one can maintain absolute sanity and calmness in this environment.

Li Guo shook his head and said, "The poor road is just passing by by accident." ”

"If you don't wear more clothes when you pass by by accidentally, do you want to die?"

The man took out a large piece of cloth from his backpack and threw it to Li Guo, saying in a depressed tone.

"If you don't want to die, wrap it up quickly, if you don't wrap it, you will rot and die the next day. ”

Li Guo nodded lightly, accepted the man's kindness, wrapped the cloth, dressed in a Taoist robe, and wrapped his head in cloth, which looked quite funny.

"Alright, don't wander around here, and we'll take you out of this place when our brother returns. ”

The man waved the gun in his hand impatiently and led Li Guo back to the camp on the border line.

Here, there is a white line.

This white line has passed, and it is Kazakhstan, and it is another country.

The camp was built on the white line.

After entering the camp, Li Guo found that the heat insulation was not very good, but compared to the outside, after all, there was still less scorching sun, and it would not cause direct damage to the body.

"Whew. The man finally removed his turban, revealing his dark, rough skin, and the collar of his uniform was stained with white dried salt.

"How did you come to this place where birds don't, look at your fine-skinned and tender flesh, you probably came from the mainland, doing business, preaching, or dripping. After pouring a few mouthfuls of water, the man looked at Li Guo with some curiosity, and his mouth was chattering, as if he hadn't spoken to outsiders for a long time.

His name is Huang Hongbao, and he is an officer and soldier on the border here, and he has been here for almost five years.

It is also one of the only three border officers and soldiers here, and the other border officers and soldiers have already evacuated and left, leaving only three people in the end, serving as gatekeepers between countries.

The Kazakh camp on the opposite side has long been empty, and no one is stationed, like a dead zone.

As Huang Hongbao said, this place is no longer suitable for human existence, and the Kazakh soldiers on the opposite border also showed this, expressing their thoughts with actions - abandoning this territory and shortening the border camps.

In fact, Huaxia also had this idea, wanting to evacuate the people in the entire border camp, but the three people, including Huang Hongbao, did not evacuate after all...

"Why don't you leave?"

"The land is the boundary, and there is no retreat. Huang Hongbao's face was as usual, looking careless, but there was a different kind of firmness: "If I leave, someone else will come here to guard." ”

It's like a kind of power of faith, so that he, and the other two warriors, have the strength to stick here with him, and never leave.

In other words, every officer and soldier stationed on the frontier, especially those stationed on the border here, has such a force of faith.

Here, it is Hakta, almost the worst place in Xinjiang, where the environment itself is very harsh, and it is a place of high temperature before the revival of the aura.

They choose, they guard.

Li Guo couldn't help but have a trace of admiration, even though the person in front of him didn't know how to cultivate or have abilities, his figure was extremely tall.

This is the soul of the Chinese army...

At this time, another dark-faced border officer and soldier also came over to look at Li Guo, a Taoist priest who happened to pass by, and showed some hospitality.

As Huang Hongbao said, in this place where birds don't poop, it's also a pleasure to meet a stranger to communicate and chat.

Li Guo looked at the two young people in front of him who were about the same age as himself, or even younger, who had no Wi-Fi here, no entertainment facilities, only yellow sand and scorching deserts, but they stuck here because of a belief called 'Frontier Never Retreats'.

"Thank you for everything..."Li Guo sincerely thanked the two of them, in all senses.

Huang Hongbao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, it should be done." ”

It sounds an understatement, but there is endless melancholy and sadness, and only by staying here can you know how difficult it is to live here...

It is also a blessing to be understood and appreciated.

"Okay, you also pack up and get ready to go, depending on the time, Xiao Zeng should be back soon. Huang Hongbao looked at his watch and said.

Xiao Zeng is another border officer and soldier in addition to Huang Hongbao and Liu Xiangxi, named Zeng Xuchun.

Li Guo looked at Huang Hongbao and Liu Xiangxi, and there was not much agitation in his chest.

In other words, it is not the two people in front of him who have cause and effect with the true son of God, but which one is Zeng Xuchun.

"Where has this little Zeng brother gone? Li Guo asked.

"Drove to fetch water. Huang Hongbao raised his head, looked at the scorching sun on the ground outside the window and said: "There is no water storage in a radius of dozens of miles here, there is no groundwater, we can only go outside to pull water back to use it if we want water." ”

In this extremely high temperature, even if there are only three people, the water consumption is surprisingly large, and it is truckload by truck to go out to pull water.

And the three of them all took turns to pull water, and today they just happened to be Zeng Xuchun, that is, the person who was connected to Wuling Immortal Monarch causally.

Li Guo's mind moved slightly, hooked up cause and effect, and prepared to find Zeng Xuchun.

However, before leaving, Li Guo still bowed lightly to the two border guards.

Li Guo waved the dust lightly, and with the appearance of a water demon, he summoned a flowing spring, and his fingertips called for water, and the torrent surged.

"It's... This..."Huang Hongbao seemed to have a stagnant expression, looking at the clear spring that appeared plainly, as if he saw a miracle, Liu Xiangxi next to him also had a dull expression and polished his eyes.

"Poor Dao can only do a few trivial things for you. Li Guo waved his hand and sighed lightly: "The supernatural power is limited, and the clear spring can only last for seven days, and within seven days, it is inexhaustible and endless." ”

After that, Li Guo turned into a golden eagle and went towards the place where cause and effect responded.

Only Huang Hongbao and Liu Xiangxi were still stunned.

After a long time, Huang Hongbao reacted and said with emotion.

"I suspect I'm in a dream..."

"It's not a dream. Liu Xiangxi looked at the clear spring flowing out of the void, went to pick up a handful, washed his face, and muttered: "You really brought a fairy back..."

"yes..."

Huang Hongbao's swarthy face grinned: "It seems that I have been taken care of by the gods, and this time I won't lose anything." ”

Liu Xiangxi greedily absorbed this inexhaustible water source, washed his face, took a sip of water, and was grateful for the natural blessing of water.

"Out of nothing, this is a real immortal. Liu Xiangxi sighed with emotion: "You say, is it the same as the legendary monk..."

"Legend has it that the monk who will appear next to the water-starved traveler and serve mung bean soup?"

Huang Hongbao shook his head after taking a big sip of water.

"I don't know... After all, I had never run out of water in the desert, and I had never met the monk. ”

"Anyway, it's great that someone can understand us..."

Compared with being given to the water source by the gods, Huang Hongbao and Liu Xiangxi are more happy to be recognized.

They are proud, they are proud.

They stood upright.

They, guarding the frontier...

......

The yellow sand of the Gobi, a hundred miles of red land, the signs of life seem to have disappeared in this land.

Leaving only a dead silence, arid, scorching hell.

A military truck drove on the yellow sand of the Gobi Desert, and the trunk of the car was a box of water.

Zeng Xuchun, a 22-year-old young soldier, has 3 years of experience in the border area.

He has long been accustomed to the Huangsha Gobi and has become accustomed to the hellish environment here.

"That's terrible..."

At this moment, Zeng Xuchun was driving a tattered truck, looking at the wind and sand that was gradually getting bigger, and his expression was slightly apprehensive.

In this Gobi, the biggest killer is not the scorching heat, but the wind and sand!

He is able to destroy mechanical parts, he is able to cover life.

He is like a god of death, reaping everything.

"Recently, the sand has been getting more and more frequent, which is really unlucky. Zeng Xuchun skillfully blocked the car window, and took out his sleeping bag, planning to sleep in the car for a day before leaving.

In such an environment, ordinary people can't sleep, but Zeng Xuchun can, and the border guards who are used to it can.

No matter how hard it is, you can eat it.

Zeng Xuchun fell asleep groggily after eating the canned food, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning.

The body was covered in wind and sand.

After Zeng Xuchun got out of the car, he was not ambiguous, wrapped a cloth towel around his face, took out a sapper shovel and began to shovel the sand around the car.

However, when shoveling off the sand, Zeng Xuchun muttered.

"I'm in trouble..."

I saw that some of the sand had changed color.

The gasoline, leaking, was hit by last night's wind and sand.

Zeng Xuchun was suddenly startled, cold sweat flowed, and according to experience, he hurriedly got into the car and rescued some supplies.

Although the Gobi Desert is hot, it is not an open flame, so there is no need to worry about an open flame causing a gasoline explosion and burning.

But here is dozens of miles deserted, no one will pass by, waiting for rescue is nonsense, after the materials are rescued, while the physical strength is still there, it is right to hurry towards the nearest populated place.

Zeng Xuchun will not wait for rescue, so many years of experience in the border tell him that in this case, waiting for rescue is equivalent to waiting for death, especially after the climate change, the weather here is hotter day by day, hot year after year, like a mountain of flames that erupts at any time.

It's not the border here.

It's the real mouth of death...

"As long as the wind and sand don't come, there is still a good chance of getting to the supply camp with enough water and food..."

Zeng Xuchun comforted himself and said that this is not the first time he has experienced such a thing, and the last time he had such an experience was his comrade-in-arms Huang Hongbao.

Didn't he come back safely...

Just as he was about to walk with a normal heart, there was a sudden burst of yellow sand.

The scorching sun in the sky suddenly began to raise the temperature, and the scorching sun could even cause open flames.

Zeng Xuchun's heart sank...

"Is it the day of the 'fire'... It's so unfortunate. ”
