In such an environment, it is estimated that the AK that Xu Dong has already taken out alone is not enough to deal with the thing in the lake - whether it is the huge black that Lu Zhensheng saw, or the destruction of a camel in the blink of an eye, in general, the size of the thing in the lake should be very large.

The power of an AK is limited, not to mention Bayir's modified shotgun, which is the main force, and some auxiliary weapons have to be added, and to get these auxiliary weapons, you can only make up your mind with those poplar trees.

At that moment, except for Gesang and Babti, who were arranged by Bayir to guard the camels, the rest of the people picked up machetes and went to cut some poplar branches.

The chopped poplar branches, in addition to making weapons, are also prepared to make a roaring bonfire at night, of course, not for any bonfire, but to defend against unknown dangers.

At this time, Wei Zhehai and Zhou Jinlong sneakily found Xu Dong and discussed with Xu Dong.

Zhou Jinlong's body is obviously a little weak, this can't be helped, he is so old, in such an environment, he has been bumpy for so long, and he eats and drinks very unappetizingly, or he is not weak, it is a little strange.

Zhou Jinlong gasped and said to Xu Dong: "Little brother Xu, can I discuss something with you?" ”

Xu Dong nodded and said very politely: "Old man Zhou, you say?" ”

Zhou Jinlong took a breath and said: "My health is not very good, can you tell them about the matter of avenging the third child, push it back, I can't hold on, can you want to send me back?" ”

Now, because Xu Dong has a powerful weapon in his hand, Bayir and the others have to rely on Xu Dong, so Xu Dong's speech can also come in handy, if Xu Dong comes forward and orders Bayir to send Zhou Jinlong back, it should be a very smooth thing to think.

However, Xu Dong was a little worried, in such a situation, I am afraid that the resources that Bayir can disperse are really not much, and in less than half a day, he lost one person and a group of camels, which is almost a fatal blow to people in the desert.

Now that Zhou Jinlong wants to leave early, it will undoubtedly make things worse for these people, and no one knows whether Bayil will agree, and whether other people will agree.

Zhou Jinlong took a breath with some difficulty, and then said: "Little Brother Xu, it is because of this that I came to you to help me talk about it, as long as I can go back alive, you can rest assured, Little Brother Xu's kindness, I will not forget it." ”

Xu Dong thought about it, kindness or something, I won't talk about it, but Zhou Jinlong's departure may not be a good thing for everyone, at least, almost more than half of the people in Bayir are unwilling to continue to stay here, if Zhou Jinlong takes the lead, it will inevitably form a chain reaction.

At that time, a large number of resources will be taken away, but what will happen to those who remain? When the big guys are together, they may be able to think of ways to get through the difficulties together, but once they disperse, the dangers that everyone has to face almost multiply.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Dong said: "Since Old Zhou has given me such a big face, I can't shirk it, so let's try it, as for whether it can be done, there is no guarantee for this." ”

Xu Dong's words can work, it is indeed good, but all the resources, that are Bayil's, how to allocate resources, Xu Dong is impossible, and he is not willing to point fingers at Bayir in this matter, in that case, it is easy to attract others' disgust towards him.

Zhou Jinlong nodded, this is also a helpless thing, it can only be said that it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

Xu Dong immediately found Bayil and said this, sure enough, Bayil was stunned, and then said: "I promised to take responsibility for your safety, and I must send you to your destination, if he leaves like this now, how can I get mixed up on this road in the future?" Besides, now, the third child is gone, and my manpower is already insufficient, so where can I find someone to escort him. ”

Xu Dong shook his head, he had long heard that there was at least half a month to travel from here to Hotan, and it was even more difficult and dangerous along the way, with Old Man Zhou's body, I am afraid that he might not be able to hold on, if he couldn't hold on halfway, at that time, wouldn't the trouble be even greater.

Bayir was silent for a while, now, the third child was killed, Anjibuti did not come back, his party of nine people, up to now, there are only seven people, these people, each has its own post, one less, it is a big trouble, not to mention that there are now two people less, if one more is sent, after this, the manpower will be insufficient.

Nine people's work, six people's work, this is in the desert, no other place.

Bayir hesitated for a long time, and finally for Xu Dong's sake, he had to agree, send one person, three camels, and send Zhou Jinlong back first, however, there is another point, that is, Zhou Jinlong's "partner fee", that is, it will not spit out again, now, something happened to the third child, Zhou Jinlong's 100,000 partner fee, even if it was given to the third child's settlement fee, and Zhou Jinlong must not be held accountable for not being sent to Hetian.

Because Zhou Jinlong didn't have any accident, but asked to quit by himself.

Xu Dong didn't say much about this, after all, on the one hand, 100,000 yuan is not a big deal for Zhou Jinlong, and on the other hand, it is indeed Zhou Jinlong's initiative to go on, and it has nothing to do with Bayil.

When Zhou Jinlong got this result, he was both happy and disappointed, sighed heavily, and then under the leadership of one of Bayil's men, he rode a camel and left lonely.

After Zhou Jinlong left, all the people sighed for a while, and then they were busy again, and the rest of the people were still walking on this road, whether it was for the revenge of the third child, in general, they had to rest, and they could continue to move forward tomorrow.

There is great strength in numbers, and after half a day's work, the branches cut down are piled up into a small mountain.

After Xu Dong and the others rested for a while, they began to make the main weapons, and the weapons were of course nothing more than simple bows and arrows, simple javelins and the like.

As for the machetes that stay around, they are all self-defense, melee combat, and when necessary, they are used to attack the things inside, and the machetes are basically not used.

Making weapons, Lu Zhensheng and Fang Youquan are both big experts, and Gesang, Bayir and others are similar, and after a short time, they made five or six hard bows and some arrows.

The rest of the people cut a sharp wooden stake from a slightly larger branch, and according to Xu Dong's request, they chose a piece of land by the lake and buried it.

This is to prevent things from coming up to the shore to attack people and animals, and to make it easier to attack if something in the lake is discovered.

After arranging this qiē, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, during which there was a column of water on the lake that had been seen by everyone before, but everyone stopped paying attention to it.

Whatever was going on, so far, he hadn't had the courage to go up to land and give them a go.

When it was dark, it was originally time for the third child to call everyone for dinner, but now, the third child is dead, and everyone is tired, but fortunately, the fat guy took the initiative to take on the position of cook.

So everyone ate it for the first time, the taste of stick noodles and steamed buns, dehydrated vegetables, but the amount was still a little insufficient, but it made a group of people itch their teeth.

But this is also a helpless thing, in the desert, food and water, that must be strictly controlled.

After dinner, the bonfire was lit, Wei Zhehai and Fang Jiawei still went to bed early, this is no way, there is still a lot of way to go, you must keep a good body, if you want to keep your body, then you have to rest well.

However, the two of them also agreed, and in the section before dawn tomorrow morning, the two of them will stand guard and be on duty, because in the first half of the night and the second half of the night, the people on duty in shifts include Bayir and Xu Dong and others.

The arrangements were made, and only the first shift was left to guard Anji and Fang Youquan, and the rest of the people were all able to find their tents to lie down.

Seeing that Yiqiē was ready to be in an orderly manner under Xu Dong's arrangement, Sang Qiuyu couldn't sleep at all when he was excited, and felt that no matter what was in it or how powerful it was, it would not be his brother-in-law's opponent, what kind of person was his brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law was a hero!

Surprisingly, as excited as Sang Qiuyu, there are two other people, Mu Siyi and Fang Jiawei.

Although there were several heart-pounding experiences during the day, in general, there were no dangers, which made Mu Siyi feel that she was specially arranged to "test" her, this feeling was very novel, and even made Mu Siyi look forward to it, wanting to see what would happen next and how Xu Dong would deal with it.

In Fang Jiawei's opinion, no matter what the reason, Xu Dong wants to stay, it is not necessarily a good thing, what to do now is to take advantage of the situation to be a little chaotic, prepare as many things as possible, and save yourself when there is a special situation in the future.

This is a desert, if you want to save yourself and get out alive, the most indispensable thing is water and food, and there are camels, so Fang Jiawei secretly bypassed Anji and Fang Youquan, who were on duty at night, and quietly chose a camel and took the camel to a hidden place to tie it up.

Then I sneaked back and found a big plastic bucket to fill it with water.

However, Fang Jiawei didn't dare to go to the lake to fetch water at this time, there were murderous things in the lake, and if he went directly to the lake to fill water, it would be suicide.

Therefore, Fang Jiawei took a shovel and began to dig a pit in a relatively low-lying place about 20 meters away from the lake, which has the advantage of not only being able to load water, but also the water quality is much better than that drawn directly from the lake, after all, the lake water has been filtered by sand.

After digging down for more than a meter, water seepage began to appear, which made Fang Jiawei's heart jump wildly, his self-help plan was carried out too smoothly, as long as the water was loaded, and then he went to find some food, and then he could sit back and watch Xu Dong and them toss, if Xu Dong and they could toss out of a famous hall, it would be good, but if Xu Dong and they were in a disadvantageous position, they could run away.

Thinking in his heart, Fang Jiawei couldn't help but feel proud, and even couldn't wait to fill the water, but the speed of water seepage was too slow, and after a while, it was only a shallow layer of water.

It is estimated that not all the sediment in this area is sand, and there is a lot of soil in it that is more delicate than sand, so the rate of water seepage will be very slow.

However, this also has the advantage that the water that seeps out will be cleaner and more hygienic.

Finally waited until it was time to fill water, Fang Jiawei put the plastic bucket into the pit and was about to fill it, but he didn't expect someone behind him to suddenly ask gloomily: "What are you doing?" ”

This voice was gloomy, so that the pores of Fang Jiawei's whole body suddenly exploded, almost without any consideration, he screamed "wow", he didn't even want a plastic bucket, turned his head and ran.

I didn't think that I didn't run far, Fang Jiawei actually "poofed" and fell into the lake, and suddenly splashed a splash.

At this time, two people stood out in the shadows.

Xu Dong said to the fat man dissatisfied: "You guy, this will scare people to death." ”

The fat man smiled darkly and said: "This guy is a thief, sneaky, leading camels and fetching water, this is the rhythm of escaping, I don't scare him, I scare whom." ”

"And say, hurry up and get him up, or you're deliberately murdering......"
