Chapter 20 Chapter 20
I saw a teammate's solemn TongguΓ² telescope observing the distance, everyone followed his line of sight, the sky that was still shining in the sun was already dark, and the huge black unknown object was engulfing the ancient city of Loulan at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black pressure was pressing towards Ye Lingge and his party.
"I'll rub!"
"Run!" everyone instinctively wanted to run for their lives......
It's hard not to find a safe haven in such a zone.
Fortunately, this trip was accompanied by Naiza, a local, and when the others fled in a panic, only Naiza was calm enough.
Nayiza asked everyone to quickly put on all the masks and scarves, hold hands, and walk forward. Fortunately, the base camp and the "sand wall" are in a different direction, so everyone can safely move forward with their backs to the storm.
The "Sand Wall" quickly caught up with them, and the whole sky was shrouded in haze and dust, and the visibility was so shallow that even the road under their feet was blurred.
Ye Lingge could clearly feel that the wind speed was getting stronger and stronger, even if he was wearing long sleeves and long pants, he was smashed on his calf by the blowing sand and stones. The high-top shoes could not stop the sand and gravel from drilling into the shoes, and after a while, the sand and stones in the shoes were uncomfortable, and every step was painful. The most painful thing is the sound, Ye Lingge's hearing is unusually good, the sound of the wind and the rustle of flying sand make Ye Lingge's head buzz, and the noise-proof earplugs he wears are useless. On the contrary, after a long time, the ears have a tendency to swell faintly.
I didn't know when the sandstorm would stop, so Naiza decided to take shelter under a "wall" not far ahead, which was a large mound with a good leeward nature, and the people who were unable to walk an inch in the wind and sand in the dark ground readily agreed.
I don't know how long it took for the storm to stop completely. The earth returned to light, and the sky was as blue as ever, not even a single white cloud could be seen, only a fiery red sun, gradually moving westward. The earth was as calm as if nothing had happened. Everyone cleaned up the sand and dust on their bodies.
The markings made along the way have been submerged in the sandstorm not long ago. "It seems that we can only use GPS positioning to go back. β
The atmosphere in the team was extremely cold, and using GPS to go back meant that their expedition was a failure.
Suddenly, someone said, "Why don't we go to the ancient city we saw before and spend the night?" You see, it's not getting early now, and I don't know when we'll find the tent when we go back, and the wind will definitely rise at night." β
"We're here for adventure travel, and it would be a shame not to go. Naiza said excitedly.
"I agree. "Ye Lingge's eyes are almost glowing, and the most exciting thing is to explore.
Ye Lingge asked the other people's opinions again, "What about you?"
"But food and water ......," a girl in the team hung her head in embarrassment.
Ye Lingge said with a smile: "When I came, just in case, I specially brought more, if you don't have enough, I'll give you some." β
Ye Lingge divided half of the food to the girl, for Ye Nuxia, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, there are not a few days of hunger and a full meal, compared to today's delicate women, there is less food, and staying up for a night is not a big problem.
The girl took the can and began to devour it, as if she were hungry.
Ye Lingge looked at her a little helplessly, and didn't say much.
Everyone is looking forward to what they can find in the ancient city, and they talk and laugh while walking to express their conjectures, but when they go to the top of the mountain, they find that there is still any ancient city of Loulan, and only the endless desert remains.
Jiang Yifan scolded: "it......!"
Nayiza's face was full of doubts, and she asked weakly: "The place where I saw the ancient city of Loulan in the morning is here, right?"
Ye Lingge nodded and pointed to the edge, "There are still traces of the little brother almost falling down there." β
At that time, the place where Jiang Yifan stepped on it was loose and almost slipped, although a layer of mud and sand was attached, the footprints of the little brother were still clearly recognizable.
"Hell!"
"Bah, don't talk nonsense!"
Ye Lingge sighed, "Then what should we do next?" "The most important thing at the moment is where to spend tonight.
There must be no way to go to the ancient city, and a trace of panic flashed in Naiza's eyes, and she quickly replied calmly: "Let's go back to the place where we sheltered from the wind first! β
A cool breeze blew, and Ye Lingge shivered. The sun hadn't set yet, and the temperature in the air was incredibly cold. Those who had hesitated nodded again and again.
This place is really weird.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, everyone said goodbye to this hill and the ancient city that mysteriously disappeared. Everyone had long since lost the high interest they had when they set out in the morning, and everyone was silent. Obviously, everyone was a little scared, but they just knew it.
At sunset, the shadows of those mounds were stretched out by the sunset, and the shadows of those strangely shaped mounds were even more strange in the afterglow of the sunset, and the atmosphere in the team became more and more solemn.
"Ahh
Ye Lingge subconsciously pulled out the dagger in his arms and took it out.
Everyone was startled, and the team panicked all of a sudden, but in the end, most of the male colleagues in the team were not messed up. Ye Lingge fixed his eyes and saw that the soil with slightly different colors was scattered all over the ground, and Lingge raised his head, and scattered dirt fell from time to time on the top of the cylindrical shape on the side, "It's okay, it fell from above." β
"Don't scare yourself. Jiang Yifan seemed to dislike the screams of his colleague.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and comforted each other, "It's okay...... It's okay...... Let's move on......"
Originally, this was the Devil's City full of mysteries, and there was a strange gust of wind, and the ancient city of Loulan that appeared and disappeared strangely. Even if they came to explore, they couldn't stand the scare again and again.
The timid sons and daughters were already frightened birds, but they dropped a piece of mud at their feet and began to scream.
After everyone simply replenished their energy, they welcomed the arrival of the night.
Things are far from over, and after nightfall, in addition to the winds that come from time to time, there is an unexpected thunderstorm.
The wind raged between the heavens and the earth, and the thunder roared in the ears. Ye Lingge covered his ears tightly, for fear of being deafened by lightning.
Once again, the earth was illuminated with silver, and this time the lightning was like a huge mushroom! The mushroom-shaped lightning with silver filaments reflected the sky dark purple.
There were screams in the procession, some excited by the sight, others scared.
The heavy rain fell suddenly, and everyone put up their clothes on their heads, and such a mountain wall could only shelter from the wind, not the rain. Now the worry is not whether the sediment will be sucked into the lungs, but whether it will be choked by the rain. There is no worse thing than a strong wind and thunderstorm in the Yadan landscape.
Nayiza didn't know what she was talking to herself in Uyghur, but she couldn't hide her fear in her expression, and Ye Lingge asked.
Nayiza grabbed Ye Lingge's arm, and in a flash of silver light, Ye Lingge saw her frightened eyes clearly, "It must be Allah Allah who is punishing us...... It must be...... We lied......"
Ye Lingge scratched the back of her head, as an ancient, ahhhh Besides, it's just a little lie, as for the forgiving Allah Allah, can he be so petty?
"Just thunder ......"
Before Ye Lingge's words of comfort were finished, another thunderclap sounded, the difference was that this time, it happened to split a towering cylindrical mound near them, and the mound fell in front of them, and even the earth shook......
"That......'s it" Ye Lingge tensed his body, his whole body senses always paying attention to the movements around him, and he was ready to flee from the dangerous place at any time. And her friends have already screamed in shock, and some even ran for their lives in a panic.
"Don't run around!" Ye Lingge was in a hurry, and immediately chased after her to stop her, and her pig teammates couldn't afford to hurt her, "There are 'tall buildings' everywhere that can't shelter from the rain, where can you hide?"
"Are you waiting to be hacked to death?"
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, we go to the place that has just been struck by lightning. β
Jiang Yifan also chimed in: "That's right, the taller the object, the easier it is to lead mines. β
After a thunderclap, everyone ran towards the rammer that had been broken by the waist.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the thunder seemed to roar overhead, and everyone stood in fear by the half-fallen mound. About half an hour later, the rain gradually subsided, and the thunder slowly faded away.
After about half an hour, the rain had completely stopped, and the roaring thunder had died down, and everyone was finally relieved.
Ye Lingge looked up at the sky and sighed, "Let's rest in place! It shouldn't rain anymore." β
"It's all wet, how can you sleep!"
It's her again!
