The yellow sand is reckless, like the peaks of the hills and mountains, and there is no end in sight; Occasionally, strong winds swept across the land, rolling up a grayish-yellow mist of fine dust, and it was misty. In the middle of the sky, a dazzling sun is exuding a strong heat; Since the water vapor in the air has long been evaporated, the air has appeared to be distorted.

Near the outskirts of the desert, a truck roars down a straight road, rubber tires occasionally running over potholes and gravel on dirt roads, causing continuous bumps in the vehicle. Due to the scorching heat, several men sitting in the driver's seat and cargo hold stripped off only a pair of shorts; However, Rao's body surface was faintly salted-out, and those solid crystals that were barely distinguishable to the naked eye clinged to the pores on the skin, causing an extremely uncomfortable dryness and itching.

"What kind of cursed place is this to bury the infidels, and why can the weather be so hot? It's only been a morning, and I'm almost dried! A man with glasses sitting in the back of the cargo compartment looked up and poured half a bottle of water and complained loudly in anger. Around him, the other five companions were also listless; They either hold a fan and send themselves hot air that is better than nothing, or they gulp down water as hot as the air around them like men in glasses, and occasionally let out low curses. Within a few days of arriving in Africa, the pale skin of these Europeans had begun to turn yellow-black.

"Enough Kate, don't be like the wild bees in March; Now you're in a cargo hold that shelters from the sun, and I'm in the sun all the time! Why don't you come to the cab and drive for me for a while? A piercing voice with anger suddenly came from the driver's seat in front of him. The bespectacled man, who was called Kate, froze and his voice was cut off. But after a moment of muttering, he spoke indignantly again: "It's enough to come to this infidel's wild land, and we can go back after a few months in the vicinity of Tripoli, but that abominable little Jonas has suddenly sent a telegram telling us to go to the Siirt Basin in northeastern Libya!" Damn, is he really the serf of the Junker landlord's family to be driven by our goblin exploration team? It's 1,000 kilometers from Tripoli to that damned basin where there are no towns! He's on vacation in Italy right now, and we're going to do this kind of inhuman thing here! ”

The thin man sitting next to Kate, the man with glasses, glanced at him and said slowly, "Kate, Mr. Rudolph has advanced enough commissions to us. The harsh climate in Libya was described in detail before we signed the agreement. Since we collect the money, it is time to meet the needs of the employer. The difficulties we are experiencing now are not beyond the scope of the agreement, and you should not forget the most basic business principles. ”

"Of course I won't forget that." Kate angrily drank the last of the water in the bottle, lowered her voice slightly, and said, "But who knew that a 40-degree weather would feel like this?" If I had known that this was a painful situation, I would have preferred to stay in Bremen and sell fish rather than go out to take over the business; Maybe when I go back, my family will think it's a out of nowhere!

The thin man was silent for a moment and said, "Kate, you can still drive your family's fishing boat out to sea to get enough food." However, everyone has been doing odd jobs for almost a year, and Rui and I have been starving all year of the last year; This lucrative mercenary money is very important to us, even if we are going to work in a land that has been enslaved by pagans for 500 years. And you don't have to be too pessimistic about the outlook. The little prince Jonas had a point in the telegram that Tripoli had been entrenched by the Italians for more than ten years, and that some of the regular sites in the vicinity had already been explored by them; Only this eastern part of the country was taken from the Turks five years ago, leaving us with many opportunities. If we can find out something, the final remuneration will be much more than the current number. ”

Kate snorted and said, "What can an underage child who has just come out of middle school understand?" It is nothing more than a layman who has no attainment in geological exploration, and who directs us professionals who feel good about himself, and there are no words to describe it except ridiculous! Yes, he must pray that he will not be encountered by me in the future, or I will surely stuff him with fish in his belly and make him pay for his actions today! ”

In the cursing words of Kate, the man with glasses, the truck loaded with exploration equipment and their daily necessities sped eastward; The only thing that made the goblin team less painful was that the road to eastern Libya was relatively smooth and didn't take much time on the way. After three days of eating and sleeping in the open, they passed through the hilly Gobi Desert and really came to the destination of this trip. After purchasing some fresh water and food from the locals at a high price, Kate and the others each put on a wide sunshade cloak and began to conduct precise exploration according to the coordinates provided by Fang Yan in the telegram.

Due to the lack of clouds formed by moisture, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert weather in North Africa is extremely large: during the day, when the sun is in the sky, people want to take off their skins, but at night it is the wind howling, and even in the tent you have to wrap yourself in six or seven pounds of quilts to barely sleep. Within a few days, two members of the team fell ill due to their difficulty adapting to the climate. Fortunately, the group was extremely well prepared for this operation, and all kinds of emergency medicine were readily available, so there was no obvious obstacle to the work. Over time, the exploration team members have adapted to life here, and they have traveled through the hilly wastelands of the target area, taking many samples for analysis and screening.

"Nothing to discover...... "Under the blazing sun, the thin man threw a hot stratum sample in his hand on the ground, full of loss and unwillingness. Nearly half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, but they have never gained anything, whether it is metal deposits or fossil energy, they have not found any clues. Kate, the man with glasses, has a black face, and his expression is simply gloomy and scary. After these days of scorching sun exposure, his skin color has a tendency to change to that of the local natives, which is almost unbearable for him, who cares deeply about racial boundaries. In fact, in Europe today, racial discrimination against black, black and green is a normal thing; The people of Europe, who did not experience the human tragedy of the Holocaust, would not have had the cancer of the Virgin Mary who fell from one extreme to the other as later generations.

"This place will not be discovered anymore. Let's go to the next location requested in the telegram. Kate said angrily. In the telegram, he pointed out three locations, and after all the explorations were completed, he could set off and return. Despite all the resentment in her heart, Kate decided to endure it, and after this incident, he was ready to return to China to find the boy to settle his account for today.

"Ahh Fang Yan suddenly sneezed heavily, and rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand in confusion; It's the hottest time of the year, and there's no reason why you might catch a cold. At this moment, he is on a painting boat in the water city of Venice, enjoying the beautiful scenery of this world-famous ancient city in the rippling and swaying clear waves. Compared to the yellow sand desert of North Africa, the environment here is undoubtedly like paradise. In addition, Fang Yan also had a beautiful and vulgar girl snuggling sweetly beside him, which made him completely immersed in the decadent hedonistic life of the bourgeoisie, and wanted to freeze the time forever in this wonderful moment.

"Jonas, are you alright?" Sylvia spoke softly, a worried look in her bright emerald green eyes. Fang Yan, who came back to his senses, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the girl's soft and slender willow waist, and said, "I'm fine, you can rest assured." Even the flu that was as violent as 5 years ago didn't bring me to God, and now there is no problem. But Xiwei, you have to grow up well, and become my lover in a few years. ”

Sylvia's lips were gracefully curved, and there was a slight resentment in the sweet joy; The teenager in front of her has always refused to have further intimacy with her on the grounds of age, which makes her worry that her lover will be preempted by others and become a captive of others. Seeing Sylvia's expression, how could Fang Yan, who was the party concerned, not understand her thoughts, and Fang Yan, who felt a little helpless, could only respond by hugging the girl's waist, so as to convey his heart to the other party. Not to mention that he had already had a heartfelt joy for this beautiful and delicate Lori, just her unique family background was an absolutely indispensable help for Fang Yan, who intended to change the fortunes of Germany. He is now having people prospect for oil in Libya, and in the future he wants to influence the construction of the Italian navy, which is almost impossible without Sylvia's father, Ciano the Elder.

"The exploration team in Libya should be about to reap the rewards, right?" As soon as he thought of this, Fang Yan couldn't help but think of the most important purpose of his trip. In order to ensure that this operation led by him would not be in vain, he deliberately gave the exploration team a few specific areas according to the situation in his memory, and now that more than half a month has passed, if he is not mistaken, there should be news from North Africa.
