Time passed minute by minute, and the 212 jeep was still speeding on the grassland in a bumpy manner, but to their disappointment, they had been running out to the south for a long time, but they still did not see any rivers or lakes, and as for the herds of yellow sheep and bison that can often be seen on the grassland, they did not touch them, and as time went by, everyone was very anxious.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Su Yichen stopped the car, took a short rest, and then poured the last half of a barrel of oil into the fuel tank, calculating the remaining fuel, and at most they could run for a few more hours. If they don't find a way out by this time, then the outcome will be .......

After setting off again, and continuing for nearly a hundred miles, the eastern sky was white, and the dark night in the northwest finally passed, and the sun gradually began to rise. When he could see his surroundings clearly, Gudamai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly widened his eyes and looked around with a stunned gaze.

"Platoon...... Platoon leader! We seem to be in the wrong place. Gudamai hurriedly turned around and shouted.

Hu Zhijun, who was groggy and asleep in the back seat due to injury and fatigue, immediately opened his eyes when he heard the shout, and he looked out through the car window, and was stunned at the same time.

I don't know when, the grass on the ground has become sparse, many places are bare white and yellow sand, at a glance, the far in front of the surrounding green is less and less, but more and more white sand, this is obviously no longer a grassland, but has been close to the junction of grassland and desert.

The terrain of the northwest has always been complex, with towering mountain ranges, large green grasslands, large hills, lakes, rivers, and even forest belts unique to the northwest. In addition, the most famous in the northwest is the Great Desert, half of China's famous deserts are in the northwest region, including the largest desert - the Taklamakan Desert.

"Did we come to Taklamakan overnight?" Hu Zhijun frowned and thought, but he quickly shook his head, according to the location where they first camped and the approximate distance of the car this night, there should be a lot of way to go from the Taklamakan Desert, if he judged correctly, now they are in the outer area of the Taklamakan Desert, hundreds of kilometers away from the real desert center.

"Platoon commander, do you want to turn around?"

"U-turn? No! Let's move on! Unexpectedly, Hu Zhijun did not let Su Yichen stop or turn around, but let him continue to drive forward. At first, Gu Damai was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly reacted to Hu Zhijun's intention to do this, and couldn't help but admire his decisiveness as a platoon commander from the bottom of his heart.

The desert is a sea of death for humans, but it is also a sea for animals. There are very few animals that can survive in the desert, except for the well-known camels known as the "Ship of the Desert", there are only some gerbils, lizards, scorpions, poisonous snakes, and these animals only live at the edge of the desert, or near the oasis, as for the center of the desert is basically a forbidden land for life, wolves like the night moon wolf on the grassland will never break into the desert.

The biggest difference between humans and animals, in addition to the difference between the ability to make and use tools as written in science textbooks, is that humans can rely on their minds and wills to act, while animals only rely on their instincts. The instinct and nature of animals determine the environment and range of their activities, no matter how cunning and fierce the night moon wolf is, but it also does not dare to go deep in the desert of the Sea of Death. Hu Zhijun knew this, so he made this decision decisively, as long as they entered the desert and relied on the animals' natural fear of the desert to block the pursuit of the Night Moon Wolf, then they would be safe.

As expected, not long after Hu Zhijun and the others drove into the desert, more than a dozen Night Moon wolves who had been chasing first finally arrived in this marginal area, where the wolves that had been chasing all night actually stopped at the same time, wandering uneasily, and kept roaring in the direction of the desert, but did not take a step forward. And after some time, the wolf king led the rest of the wolves to arrive, hundreds of night moon wolves waited in place under the leadership of the wolf king, and the past drunkenness did not continue to chase in, for a few hours, as the sun gradually rose, the temperature in the air became hotter and hotter, and the unwilling wolves turned their heads helplessly after howling, and gradually moved away in the direction of the grassland.

Entering the edge of the desert, the speed of the car suddenly decreased a lot, but for safety, Hu Zhijun asked Su Yichen to keep a speed of about 30 kilometers forward, and only after about 100 kilometers did he find a place to stop.

At this time, they were already in a relatively deep position, and the green around them was almost invisible, and all they could see were continuous sand dunes and heavily weathered boulders. Although it is not yet the famous Taklamakan Desert, it is already part of the outer desert area of the Taklamakan Desert.

"Alright, this place should be fine." Hu Zhijun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. He was now certain that the wolves would never catch up, and would stay here for a while to make sure the wolves weren't waiting on the periphery.

Hearing Hu Zhijun say this, Su Yichen's heart suddenly relaxed, and with the relaxation of his body and mind, he soon felt a lingering sense of tiredness. This whole night, Su Yichen, who was driving, can be said to be the hardest, driving all night in such a tense situation, if it weren't for the support of the spirit, he would have been tired a long time ago. Now, Su Yichen felt that his eyelids were fighting, and his whole body was falling apart, and he just wanted to lie down and sleep.

Resting in the desert is not as simple as the grassland, and the daytime temperature in the desert is very high, which can easily cause dehydration. As a local, Gudamai had experience in this, and he instructed Su Yichen to drive the car to the shady side of a boulder, and there were a few half-dead poplar trees nearby, which was the best choice for a temporary camp, and since their tent had been lost, they had to use a few pieces of tarpaulin in the car to make a rudimentary camp. After getting these things done, Su Yichen couldn't support it anymore and fell asleep.

Not only Su Yichen, but also the other three, the tension on the line of life and death overnight, everyone was very tired after relaxing. This sleep is good, and I don't know how long I have been asleep, Su Yichen, who was sleeping, suddenly shouted and woke up suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Gudamai was the lightest sleeper among the several people, and when he heard the movement, he quickly tightened the gun in his arms and opened his eyes.

"It's okay, I'm ...... I just had a nightmare. Su Yichen, who was sweating profusely, was stunned for a moment, and then said ashamedly, just now in the dream, he was still driving a 212 jeep on the grassland, and all around him were constantly chasing wolves, these fierce night moon wolves ran faster and faster, and their cars didn't know why they were getting slower and slower, even though Su Yichen kept filling the accelerator, the speed of the car was still slowing down, so anxious that Su Yichen was sweating and didn't know what to do.

In the end, the car stopped inexplicably, Su Yichen hurriedly looked back, I don't know when he was the only one left in the car, Professor Wan Changchun, Lao Hu, and Gu Damai didn't know when they were all gone, and at this time, the wolves outside had already surrounded the stopped car, and one of the giant wolves that was obviously bigger looked at him with a mocking and cold gaze, just when Su Yichen was full of horror and didn't know what to do, he only heard a howl from the wolf king in his ears, and countless vicious wolves jumped up at the same time, Bai Sensen's teeth and claws gleamed in the moonlight, and he swooped ...... towards him.

The dream was so real, Su Yichen still remembered it clearly, especially the wolf howl seemed to be in his ears. After gasping for fear for a while, he gradually calmed down, looked around Jingshu, and shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to throw this nightmare out of the depths of his memory.

"When?" Although he had a nightmare, Su Yichen felt much better when he woke up, but at the same time, he also felt that he was hungry and panicked.

Raising his wrist and looking at his gem flower watch, Su Yichen realized that it was almost evening, that is to say, he had slept for more than six hours unconsciously.
