"Barlow...... Do you know what it means to be in love?" Alita looked at Barlow earnestly.

"I know that just like my feelings for you, burning like a flame, will never be extinguished!"

"Well, yes, if you can understand your feelings for me, I think, you can understand how I feel at this time, because the man who went into the desert with me that day was not only my professor, but also my boyfriend. I love him as much as you love me. You don't want me to die, and I want him to come back alive. Alita's eyes were full of persistence.

After Barlow listened, the shock in his eyes slowly turned into disappointment, and the arm holding Alita slowly loosened.

It is because of love that we understand ...... Despite Barlow's reluctance, he no longer forced Alita.

"Well, since you insist on going, I don't think I can keep it. I'll be waiting for you here, though, when you come back......"

Alita stepped forward and gave Barlow a shallow hug, then let go of him with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding, Prince Barlow, you are a good man!

Yes, all these provisions are only enough for ten days to survive, and if she doesn't come out for ten days, then it means that she will never come back.

After this toss, the night has passed, the east has revealed the white of the fish's belly, and in the faint dawn, Alita's long hair is flying, her smile is bright, and her figure full of youthful vitality runs to the forbidden area of the desert with Xiao Mo...... Barlow knelt down facing the east, where the sun had risen, and pressed his hands to the ground very low, muttering silently, To my greatest god of Allah, I pray that you will forgive my wife Alita for her innocence, and if she returns safely, I will exchange my lifelong happiness......

Xiao Mo inadvertently glanced back, just in time to see Barlow's pious figure, I don't know why, she always has a very ominous feeling.

"Alita, look ......" Xiao Mo gently patted Alita's shoulder.

Alita glanced back and silently bowed to Barlow's figure, as if to express deep apologies.

"Pick up the pace, girls, it looks like it's going to change!" Monica looked up at the horizon in the distance.

A yellow sand dune is the obvious dividing line, and after climbing the hill and dune, when you look back, you can no longer see Barlow, and the distant Abdu palace complex has disappeared from view.

The originally sunny weather gradually became gloomy, and a cold wind swept the yellow sand and flew by, adding a bit of a strange feeling.

"Look, what's that?"

Xiao Mo pointed to the distance, at the junction of heaven and earth, there seemed to be a ruin, looking at both the factory and the parking lot, which was not very real.

Monica took out the binoculars and looked at them for a while, her face was a little ancient, and in the face of Xiao Mo's curious eyes, he didn't say a word, and directly handed the telescope to Xiao Mo, "Look at it yourself!"

Xiao Mo took the binoculars, and after reading it, her face changed.

"Uh...... What do you see? Show me!"

Alita snatched the binoculars from Xiao Mo's hand, and after reading it, she was also surprised, "It's really strange! How can there be a military tank? This place is far away from the battlefield in Afghanistan!"

"Actually, it's not far, just a few hundred kilometers. But the strange thing is that the war has been over for several years, how can there still be tanks?"

"Could it be from other countries, Iran or something?" asked Xiao Mo curiously.

"It's not...... The flag on the tank is American. Monica looked at it a few more times, and then lowered her binoculars.

"Okay, I'm in the restricted area now, let's rest for a while, eat something and rest for a while before we go, and by the way, study the next route. ”

Monica's construction was approved by Mo Jr. and Alita. The tent was erected in a leeward place, and the three men nested in it to eat dry food and drink water......

"Come on......" Xiao Mo stretched out his palm to Monica, Monica smiled and put his hand up, Xiao Mo slapped him hard and gave him a blank look, "Take out the map!"

"Hehe, I thought you were going to shake hands with me and make peace......"

"Think beautifully, you set fire to me so many times, you want to make peace!

"Don't be so small...... Actually, I have a backup map for you, look, this is not ......" Monica really took out a map from her bag and shook it in front of Xiao Mo.

Unlike Mo's previous paper maps, Monica's one is printed on waterproof kraft cloth, which is waterproof and tear-resistant, making it easier to preserve.

"Hmph, you're smart!"

Xiao Mo grabbed the map, Monica also came over, and the two of them began to study the next route, according to the map, their current location is not far from the fountain of life, and it is estimated that they can arrive at noon tomorrow, so Monica's equipment for this week is completely prepared, more than enough.

"Walk from here in a moment, around the dune...... Set up camp in this place at night. Depart tomorrow morning and should be here by noon......"

"No problem......"

Xiao Mo nodded in confirmation, turned his head sideways and looked at Alita, who was holding a mineral water bottle, looking at the sand dunes in the distance with a dull look, and the whole person looked in a trance.

"Alita, what's wrong with you?"

Alita took out her mobile phone, shook it in front of Xiao Mo, and smiled bitterly, "Look at it, there is no signal!"

Xiao Mo instantly understood Alita's sadness, there was no signal, which meant that even if Wu Qi was still alive, it was impossible to have the opportunity to send a text message, because there was no signal.

"Could it be that someone else picked up Wu Qi's mobile phone?" Xiao Mo suddenly thought of this.

"No, it's him!"

"Why are you so sure?"

Alita took out her mobile phone and flipped through the text message, "Because my relationship with Wu Qi is relatively **, it is not suitable for disclosure, so we have agreed on a secret code." Every time we send a text message, we add a heart symbol to the end to express our thoughts about each other......"

Xiao Mo leaned over and took a look, and behind the text message calling for help, there was indeed a heart-shaped symbol attached to it, which was too weird.

"Alita, it's not clear now, wait until we find the fountain of life, don't think too much. ”

Alita barely squeezed out a smile, and carefully put away the phone in her close-fitting pocket, "For more than a year, I didn't dare to turn off the phone every day, I opened it twenty-four hours a day, and I even took it with me to go to the toilet. For fear of missing the opportunity for him to call back. ”

"I understand, Alita, I'm sure we'll find him. Xiao Mo encouraged.

After a short break, the group of three continued to move forward, and the deeper they went into the heart of the desert, the strange feeling became more and more obvious, and the desolate and solemn yellow color made people feel visual fatigue.

Although the sun is not so fierce, it is very stuffy, Xiao Mo's body can still hold it, but Alita can't, after all, she is a female student, her endurance is not so strong, after walking in the desert for two hours, she fell directly into the sand, so tired that she was really panting. The team had to stop and rest in place for more than ten minutes before continuing on the road.

Just like that, when it was almost dusk, Alita suddenly let out a scream, threw away the bag in her hand, and ran madly in one direction, suddenly kneeling in the sand with her back to her, desperately digging in the sand......

Xiao Mo threw away the bag in his hand and chased after him......

By the time she arrived, Alita had dug out a dark blue travel bag from the sand, which was supposed to be placed against the dune, and next to it was an empty mineral water bottle that had been deformed by the wind. Obviously, this travel bag has been here for a long time, otherwise it would not have been buried in the sand. Alita hugged the travel bag in her arms and burst into tears with excitement, "It's him, it's Wu Qi's bag!"

Monica was the last to rush over, glanced at Alita, who was kneeling on the ground, and had already understood what was going on, silently turned her head, looked at Xiao Mo, and exchanged a look with her.

After a long time, Xiao Mo squatted down and gently patted Alita's shoulder, "Please mourn reads;!"

"No!" Alita stood up excitedly, "No, Wu Qi is still alive, Xiao Mo, he is still alive......"

Xiao Mo looked at Alita with sympathetic eyes, "His bags have been thrown here for a long time, it is impossible for this to be alive......"

"No, look here, here's the mark he left for me, he knows I'm going to come and save him......" Alita pointed to the place where she had just put her travel bag, the floating sand on it had been cleared by her, and below it was a basin-sized stone, with an arrow carved on the surface of the stone, and the direction was exactly the left front, which should be east.

"No, Alita, according to the map, we should go west!" corrected Monica.

"I don't know where your map came from, but one thing I must correct is that I have been here once, and besides, Wu Qi has been here for more than a year, and our judgment is relatively accurate. Alita said with words.

Mo remained silent, her brows furrowed, her short curls behind her ears, as if she was thinking about who was more credible between Alita and Monica.

"Well, as you said, the last time you went, you almost died...... Does that mean you're going in the wrong direction? And you've got lost. Monica stood by her opinion.

Let's try to follow the guidance of this arrow and continue to move forward, if we encounter the same sign again, it will mean that Wu Qi is guiding us. Because, now for finding the fountain of life, it is more important to rescue Wu Qi's life first. ”

"Well, yes, Monica, I agree with Alita. I think we should save people first. Little Mo sided with Alita, and Monica surrendered unconditionally.

He raised his hands and shook them, "Okay! Give you half an hour, and if you can't find any markers, we'll go back the way we came!"

Alita smiled happily, wiped her tears indiscriminately, and stuffed Wu Qi's travel bag into her bag like a baby.

As Alita had expected, after walking west for nearly twenty minutes, she saw a new sign......

However, when they saw this road sign, all three of them were shocked.
