"There's nothing wrong with the place, but it's a remote location. The black dog pouted and grinned: " This Tashawan Oasis has been close to the center of the entire Kubuqi Desert, with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers of quicksand, almost a no-man's land, the government originally wanted to develop there to do tourism resources, but the conditions in that place are too bad, and the wind and sand are big, the environment is also bad, the road leading to that side can not be repaired at all, so it gave up, usually only some more fanatical off-road enthusiasts, will drive in to challenge the limit, but the people who go there, there are accidents every year, the sandstorm there is particularly serious, and there are more quicksand pits, like you drill into the center of the desert in the winter, it is really rare at ordinary times。 ”

"You mean, there's no road in this place?"

"Dude, the place you are going to is the desert, where is the way from, you plunge in, look around, there is sand all around, there is not even a landmark, if you want to go to Tasha Bay, then you can only use GPS navigation, follow the general direction. The black dog paused: "The place in Tasha Bay, I went with a friend a few years ago, although the road is not very easy to walk, but there are buildings in the oasis, you can live in people, you can also refuel the car or something, but I am afraid that the road is not safe." ”

"We're in a special situation, so we have to go in this time. The second brother looked at the black dog: "Brother dog, can you knock down the navigation?"

"I have a civilian GPS in my car. After the black dog finished speaking, he was a little helpless: "Are you really going to go in?"

"Well, we're here for this purpose. ”

"When a team goes into the desert, they need at least two vehicles, so that one of them gets stuck in the quicksand and the other can be rescued. After listening to the second brother's words, the black dog didn't ask any more questions, and the conversation changed: "Otherwise, I'll send you in?"

"No need, we went in this time, we didn't know how many days we would be able to come out, if you went in with us, it would be too dangerous, and it would be troublesome enough for you to prepare these things for us. After the second brother rejected the black dog with a smile, he looked at a few of us: "Everyone hurry up and prepare, after lunch, let's set off." ”

"Okay, then you can eat first, and I won't bother. The black dog said hello to us, didn't insist any longer, and took the young man outside the door and left first.

……

After lunch, we all made a brief preparation, and then drove the Wrangler to the Kubuqi Desert.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, we had reached the edge of the Kubuqi Desert, the wheels crushing the yellow sand, and along the route on the GPS, rolling up the smoke and dust towards the desert.

As we went deeper and deeper into the desert, the distant city silhouette and jungle gradually disappeared from view, replaced by a huge sand dune as far as the eye could see, and the surrounding sand waves continued to surge forward, as the wind rose, uncovering the desert layer after layer, the sky was full of gravel, the glass 'salala' sounded, and the outside vision was dim, and the visibility was once less than ten meters, forcing us to stop.

"Fuck, I knew the car was going to be so slow, we might as well come in on a camel. After our car was forced to stop by the sandstorm, the second brother wore a triangular scarf on his face, looked at the yellow sand surging outside the window, and muttered softly.

"Pull it down, if we come in on a camel, a gust of wind will blow the team away, and I am afraid that at last the camel will reach the oasis, and there will be no one left." "At this time, my mood was not as irritable as that of my second brother, because it was my first time in the desert, and I felt quite fresh when I looked at the scene outside.

"Okay, there's no point in complaining, let's move forward slowly!" Ah Hu snorted his cigarette and whispered a reassuring word.

"Brother Tiger, can you snuff out the cigarette, we can't open the window, it's too choking!"

"You let him smoke, smoking is no better than farting!"

“……！”

In this way, we continued to take advantage of the gap between the wind and sand, and it took an afternoon to walk out more than 30 kilometers, and according to the navigation display, there are at least more than 300 kilometers to go from the destination.

As the sun set and the wind gradually dissipated, the last orange light splashed on the vast desert, reflecting a red color, and countless folds and stones piled up hesitantly solidified like waves, all the way to the horizon with golden light in the distance.

Majestic, quiet.

The desert under the sunset is like a dead sea of sand, and there is only one monotonous color as far as the eye can see: yellow, yellow, and the yellow that cannot be seen at a glance, and the coming night seems to freeze the turbulent waves and empty angry waves in an instant.

When we got off the bus, although we were all wearing jackets, and we were wearing goggles and triangular scarves on our faces, a gust of wind came, and the sand particles hit our faces and still hurt and filled our ears, and our clothes were soon covered with a thin layer of sand.

After about half an hour of preparation, the Wrangler started again, with a puff of wolf smoke rolling up the rear of the car, and galloped towards the Tasha Bay Oasis.

We drove for 13 hours for the 300-kilometer journey.

The next day, at 6:50 a.m.

In the early morning, the desert is white foggy, and you can't see any scenery, when the morning glow comes out, the fog color gradually turns from white to red, and the red and bright sun on the desert is like a huge red agate, hanging high in the sky.

'Brush!'

The second brother stepped on the brakes, rubbed the Wrangler and stopped behind a sand dune, and glanced at the GPS navigation: "Tashawan Oasis, it's fifteen kilometers away from us, our distance is almost the same now, everyone is resting here, and then wait for Brother Dong's call." ”

"Let's live in the car, can we be safe?" Shi Yigang looked at the big sand dune more than ten meters high next to him, and said with regret: "If a gust of wind blows, shoot us under this big pile of sand, I estimate that in one hundred and eighty years, no one may be able to pick it out for us." ”

"Okay, don't talk about the calf, as soon as the call from Brother Dong's side comes, we have to enter the oasis, and everyone should hurry up and rest. After the second brother finished speaking, he adjusted the seat and prepared to take a nap, this time when we were resting, we didn't dare to turn off the car during the whole process, because in this kind of place, once the car has a problem, everyone will definitely die.

The second brother's voice fell, and we began to squeeze in the car to rest again, although it was uncomfortable, but after a bumpy night before, everyone was tired, and the car soon began to snore.

A group of us lay in the car, very aggrieved rest for about three hours, the second brother's mobile phone ringtone woke us up, I slept in a daze, only heard the second brother said a sentence "Brother Dong", and then did not listen carefully, just bent his neck and prepared to sleep, but the second brother finished the call, directly put the car in gear, and began to move.

After the second brother drove, the other people in our car were also woken up, Ah Hu opened his eyes, glanced at the endless yellow sand outside, unscrewed the water bottle and drank water: "There is a letter from above?"

"Well, Brother Dong has already approached the other party, let us advance to the oasis. The second brother used GPS navigation to correct the position, and said sideways: "Xiaofei, prepare the gun, divide it for everyone, and everyone will check their weapons." ”

"Good!"

After I answered, I pulled out the travel bag from under my feet, and began to divide the guns for everyone below, Ah Hu and Shi Yigang were holding private hunting, and the rest of us were pistols, I withdrew the bullet clip, and fired twice in the empty chamber, confirmed that there was no problem, and pushed it back on*, thought about it, and loaded the bullet easily, after all, our place is no man's land, and no one knows if there will be any accidents.

On this day, there was no dust storm blowing on the desert again, so we traveled a lot faster, and in about twenty-five minutes, we arrived at the Tasha Bay Oasis, and as the Wranglers climbed a huge sand hill, the view of the Tasha Bay Oasis was also in full view.

Before that, I always thought that the desert oasis would be a large dense jungle, but I was disappointed in this place, Tasha Bay, there is a pond the size of a small square in the park, because the temperature of the desert is relatively high, this pond is not frozen, around the pond, it is about forty or fifty big trees, and the distribution is very scattered, between these tall trees, there are also clusters of shrubs, it should be sand willow, the pile of sand willow, the pile of sand willow, to the original silent sand sea into a little vitality of life, in order to survive in the desert without water, sand willow with its own tenacious perseveranceIt is said that the root system of Salix can be up to dozens of meters long, and stretches to the place where there is a water source, here, once life is generated, it is difficult to die, because the harsh environment can often nurture great and tenacious life, but I don't know if we come this time, will it also become the nutrients for watering these Salix.

On a flat field between these trees, there is a huge signal tower, and there is a three-story small building in front of the tower, the outer layer of the building is a gray wall made of cement, with all kinds of graffiti on it, as well as various off-road club logo patterns, and on the roof of the building, it is also full of team flags of various clubs, hunting and dancing in the wind, and not many team flags have faded.

"Hey, before we came in, didn't the black dog say that no one came to this place in winter, so here, why are there so many cars?" Shi Yigang looked out of the car window, and immediately pointed to the back of the building, I looked in the direction he pointed, and frowned, at this moment in an empty field behind the building, at least twenty or thirty cars were parked, all of them were off-road, all of them were similar to our car, the body was full of flowers, spraying latte and team logos or something.

"These cars won't all be the right guys. "I looked at those cars, and I also felt a little numb in my scalp, according to this scale, if there are a hundred or dozens of people sitting in these cars, there is no problem at all.

The second brother glanced at the convoy over there, and was also a little vague: "We don't know the specific situation here, everyone is loaded with bullets, if you encounter any abnormal situation, seek self-protection first, if something is wrong, we will withdraw immediately." ”

Five minutes later, our car was parked near the three-story building, and then everyone sat in the car and looked outside.

After getting out of the car, I took another look at the building, there was no signboard or name, in front of the store, there was a wooden sign with red paint written on it, rescue, tire change, refueling, car repair, accommodation...... and a series of other services.

Above the entrance of the building, there is also a red banner with a slogan written on it, which roughly means that several off-road clubs jointly held a winter cross-country rally.

After the second brother parked our car in the parking lot, it fit perfectly with those off-road vehicles, at this time there were many people in the parking lot, all talking about modification and tires, the content of the conversation was very professional, and looking at the dress of these people, it really didn't look like a bastard.

'Bang!'

After the door opened, a group of five of us, with triangular scarves tied around our faces and loaded guns in our arms, walked slowly towards the three-story building.
