Chapter 24: The Oasis Crisis

"Stay here, look at me with a telescope, don't see me make a safe gesture, can't you keep up and hear?"

After breakfast, the fog has gradually dissipated, the sun in the desert began to rise, and the temperature is gradually rising, in the sand at the anticline of the dune, Song Xiaoshuang patted Isabel on the shoulder, said with a cold face, and motioned for him to go to the oasis alone to investigate the situation first.

Hearing what Song Xiaoshuang said, Isabel just quit, why did he go to the oasis alone to reconnoiter the situation, and she could only stare at his ass in the telescope? This is looking down on people, discussing and discussing to make such a plan, Isabel was not convinced, her fingers were holding on to the frame of her glasses, her eyes were almost spitting fire, and the face next to her lips was angry and glared at Song Xiaoshuang fiercely, hoping that he would change his strategy.

"The situation is unknown, and you have two children, you are stupid, if you think your ability is much better than mine, then you can go?"

Hearing Song Xiaoshuang's continued analysis, Isabel was like a frosted eggplant, and her momentum suddenly disappeared, and she immediately put the idea just now behind her.

The abilities she relied on were not enough in front of Song Xiaoshuang, so she had to follow Song Xiaoshuang's instructions to take two Tuareg children and two camels, find a relatively hidden sand dune depression to hide, and watch Song Xiaoshuang's sneaking close to the desert oasis with binoculars.

Seeing Isabel's head hidden behind a small desert shrub, gesturing that she was ready, Song Xiaoshuang's figure ghostly jumped out of the back of the tall sand dunes, and used all his strength to show the Xingyi fist body method, using the cover of sand dunes, shrubs, and various ravines that could not be seen without approaching, like a desert aboriginal jumping gerbil one after another, and gradually ran away in the desert, rarely raising sand and dust.

Isabel held binoculars and looked at Song Xiaoshuang's back, and at first she was a little unconvinced, thinking that she had passed the rigorous training and assessment of retired non-commissioned officers of the French Foreign Legion in terms of stealth reconnaissance, and she should be much stronger than a "soil" expert like Song Xiaoshuang.

Unexpectedly, this guy's actions were too sneaky, although Isabel could see that Song Xiaoshuang had not been trained by the military system, but he rarely raised sand and dust when he crossed and sneaked around the sand, and stayed behind a bush for several minutes and didn't know what to do.

Originally, this would not have attracted Isabel's special attention at all, but what attracted Isabel's attention was that at the moment when Song Xiaoshuang dodged away from behind the bushes, Isabel clearly saw a desert cobra raise its neck and shake it from the camera!

This alone made Isabel confused and completely admit defeat, because the bush just hid a person and had to lie prone in the sand, how could a man and a snake maintain relative balance in a few minutes?

You must know that Song Xiaoshuang is an intruder, the bush is the territory of the cobra, and if she is an instructor who teaches her stealth skills, she can easily kill the cobra, but she can't reach Song Xiaoshuang's weird state at all, if you don't kill the snake and the snake doesn't bite, how did you get it, Isabel is really a little ignorant.

Of course, Song Xiaoshuang didn't know his performance, it was extremely abnormal for Isabel, he didn't go directly to the oasis in front of the sand dunes, because there were tall date palms with monitors a few hundred meters away, Song Xiaoshuang had no way but to try to bypass the oasis with the sparse desert plants, the oasis was horizontally distributed from east to west, and his starting point was in the sand dune highlands south of the oasis.

Song Xiaoshuang speculated that it was precisely because the sand dunes here were located high, but they were not a common passage for oasis residents to enter and exit, that those desert robbers installed monitors on two date palms and used them as sentinels, and this type of monitor is very expensive.

According to people's habitual thinking, at the entrance of the oasis at the east and west sides, there must be artificial sentry posts arranged by the robber leaders, destroying the monitor and getting rid of the robbers' sentry, Song Xiaoshuang chose the latter to carry out the strategy of infiltrating the oasis.

In Isabel's opinion, during the magical time of dancing with the snake, Song Xiaoshuang actually released some killing aura, that kind of powerful bloody killing aura, not only sensitive humans can easily feel the cold and death aura, but also animals.

Song Xiaoshuang's mental power was exerted with all his strength, and the radius of the outside of the body was sixty meters away, and he had long known that there was a desert cobra with black scale armor behind the bush, according to Song Xiaoshuang's analysis, that place was in the dead end where he moved forward to hide from the monitor, and a cobra was not afraid for Song Xiaoshuang, and immediately sneaked over while exerting the coercion of killing energy.

As soon as the killing aura that can make people with abnormal abilities feel scared and want to escape, the cobra, whose vision is blurred and sensitive, immediately knows that this outsider who has broken into its territory is an existence that it can't afford to provoke at all, and coils its snake body and shrinks its neck to wait for this outsider to leave its territory, and after discovering that this existence that makes it feel very terrifying finally leaves, the cobra immediately shows its true nature, raises its neck to show off, and then hides in the bushes.

After some sneaking, Song Xiaoshuang successfully approached the desert flora at the west entrance of the oasis, climbed a thornless acacia tree like an ape (acacia plants include a wide range, some are thornless), and gestured backwards with one hand diagonally to wait in place, Song Xiaoshuang knew that Isabel was watching him.

At this time, the acacia tree is surrounded by golden flowers, and some wild bees have hives on the trees, and the wild bees are constantly flying to collect honey, and no one would have thought that there would be people hiding in the trees to avoid being scorched by wild bees.

In fact, Song Xiaoshuang did not fail to attract the attention of wild bees, and wanted to surround and drive away Song Xiaoshuang who dared to break into their territory, but he was afraid of Song Xiaoshuang's things that only wild bees would feel uncomfortable with, seeing that Song Xiaoshuang just stayed in the tree and didn't touch their nests, and the wild bees with monotonous nerves didn't care about him, thanks to Uncle Issam telling Song Xiaoshuang a trick, chewing together with the leaves of several desert plants, a faint strange smell can make wild bees avoid it.

The branches of the acacia trees spread out over a wide area, and a few dozen meters away there was a yellow-brown adobe bungalow with a broken wooden door and a chimney in the corner of the roof of the bungalow with wisps of smoke.

Song Xiaoshuang released his spiritual power outside his body through the thick earthen wall, and noticed that two Arab women with good faces, wearing robes without covering their faces with scarves, with sandals on their feet, were on the stove in the corner of the kitchen, and two pairs of fat arms as white as jade lotus were wearing bracelets, with the fermented dough, spreading the dough on the pan, and the ceramic tray for the dough on the stove had overlapped the dough baked by Lao Gao.

Two big men wearing robes and scarves to cover their faces, using the gun belt to carry the gun paint has been mottled, I don't know how long the AK47 assault rifle is hiding next to a tamarisk tree in the corner of the adobe bungalow, the two big men are talking in a low voice, and they are still holding dough baked cakes in their hands and stuffing them from under the scarf into their mouths, one of the big men has a leather water bladder hanging from the waist of the robe, and the sandals on the feet of the other big man have no upper than half of the shoes.

Because of the angle, the two big men didn't notice that there were people hiding on the acacia tree dozens of meters away.

Song Xiaoshuang took a closer look at the nearby adobe bungalows and found that the oasis aborigines were not much restricted, and they still did what they should do.

A woman squatted beside a she-goat with a ceramic cup and milked it, and a half-grown child who looked like a thin robe covering her body and bare feet tried to break it into small pieces with an axe in her yard.

Song Xiaoshuang even saw an Arab woman in a robe, standing in the small courtyard built by the fence of her own house, talking and teaching a few naughty children, none of these children had shoes on their feet, and two of them were even naked and fruitful, revealing their bodies blackened by the sun.

Although there are big men with AK47 assault rifles in the more hidden corners of the neighborhood, it seems that these big men with scarves covering their faces are a little indifferent to the villagers in the tribe.

According to what Isabel and her uncle told Song Xiaoshuang beforehand, there are also many white Europeans and Arabs of mixed descent in the Tuareg tribal group, and Song Xiaoshuang is not surprised to see that the two Arab women have the fair skin of Europeans.

And he also based on the contrast between the Arab women in the tribe and the men with guns, he understood that this is a more respectful of the traditional typical Tuareg tribe, the typical Tuareg women have a higher status, and do not use a scarf to cover their faces at all, some tribal leaders are still knowledgeable women to take charge, and the men of the tribe are only responsible for protecting the old and weak women and children of the tribe in foreign wars.

Wrong! This is not the robber occupying the desert oasis of unknown origin at all, those Tuareg villagers who are clearly natives of the desert oasis with big guns and big men, could there be fraud in this?

Song Xiaoshuang took a sip lightly, spit out the bitter and chewed leaves, and secretly thought in his heart that the situation he saw was very different from what the two sisters and brothers said. The old AK47 assault rifle and the Tuaregs, who are obviously natives of the desert oasis, feel a lot worse than the siblings, and there is something strange about it!

Song Xiaoshuang remembered that the robbers he met last time used an AK74 assault rifle, although they are both AK series weapons, but the two are too far apart, today's robbers or terrorists or something, they are all keeping pace with the times, and they can use good weapons, of course, they are good weapons, Song Xiaoshuang immediately overturned the temporary impression that the sister and brother established in his mind a few days ago.

Individually, the robbers could use any kind of weapon, but inferred from the monitor on the date palm and the various situations he saw, Song Xiaoshuang put an end to this assertion.

He came to a somewhat strange conclusion that made him unwilling to believe it: these are the aborigines of the Tuareg tribe in the desert oasis, not the so-called desert robbers, judging from the big men with guns hiding everywhere, one is waiting for someone to enter the hinterland of the oasis and then surround it and take it, now it seems that their idea is to hit the expedition team, so that the two sisters and brothers will appear in the isthmus canyon, but I don't know what these Tuareg tribesmen want to get from the expedition team?

Song Xiaoshuang started from the fact that the members of the expedition team did not carry weapons, and deduced that the Tuareg tribe may be guarding against real desert robbers, and the recent desert is really not very peaceful, otherwise there is no need for the men of the entire oasis tribe to basically have an AK assault rifle, and according to common sense, some scientists who have made an expedition team do not need so many weapons, what are the people in the tribe planning? Song Xiaoshuang felt the need to figure it out!

Song Xiaoshuang, who was hiding on the acacia tree, was still trying to deduce and restore the truth based on everything he saw, and he saw at least four Tuareg men with guns and scarves covering their faces and robes coming out of a bungalow more than 100 meters away and walking straight in the direction of the acacia tree, and there were two men and women who were also covered with scarves and robes behind them.

The reason why that woman was able to be clearly identified by Song Xiaoshuang in the distance was because her figure was so good, and the wide robe blowing in the breeze couldn't hide her beautiful figure at all.

As several people gradually approached, Song Xiaoshuang had already guessed that the man and woman walking behind should belong to the leader-like characters based on what they saw.

Song Xiaoshuang stayed quietly on the tree, watching these people walk all the way to the door of the bungalow where the dough cakes were being baked, and the two gun-wielding men guarding next to the tamarix quickly stood up and saluted crookedly.

The woman was about to open the wooden door and enter the bungalow, when she suddenly turned her head in the direction of the acacia tree, and said loudly in Tuareg that Song Xiaoshuang did not understand.

Song Xiaoshuang's heart was fluttering, and he secretly thought that it was bad, this woman was not an ordinary person, and she found out!
