Chapter 397: The Eve 2 (II)
In the afternoon, the sand pit had been dug to a depth of five or six meters, but before he could see the royal tomb, Dick couldn't stand it anymore, ran down the mountain, and kicked Xia Ruobing's chair: "How long the do I have to dig?!" ”
"Huh?! Oh! Xia Ruobing was taking a lunch break with a hat on her face, and was woken up by Dick and took off her hat: "Dig until the stone that blocks the air hole......"
"There are fucking stones?!" Dick clearly felt Xia Ruobing's gloating eyes behind his sunglasses.
"After the royal tomb is built, of course, the air holes will be blocked." Xia Ruobing spread her hands, indicating that this is common sense.
The unlucky Dick returned to the mountain to supervise the work of the bearded man, and Mr. Min came down from the mountain, walked to Xia Ruobing's side covered in dust, and asked as if nothing happened: "Can you really enter the palace from here?" ”
"I guess so." Xia Ruobing glanced at Mr. Min, "Mr. Min, you said that you wouldn't let Dick take any of Loulan's things, have you thought about what to do?" ”
"I'm still thinking." Mr. Min said curtly.
……
Wang Xingguo paid a heavy price for his carelessness, when the sun was rising, he had not completed half of the expected journey, although he had been saving water to use, but by noon, his kettle had bottomed out, the high temperature made the desert air erratic, Wang Xingguo gritted his teeth and insisted on walking for another while, knowing that he could only die if he continued to force forward, and he had to find a shaded place as soon as possible......
But where is there a place for shade in the vast desert? Wang Xingguo finally stepped through the yellow sand area, but there was a flat Gobi in front of him, Wang Xingguo stood on the sand dunes, looking at the Gobi Desert and could only smile bitterly - he didn't go in the wrong direction, this is Lop Nur!
Maybe if you continue to move forward, you can find a small stone mountain on the Gobi Desert, and there will be a shady place in the small stone mountain, Wang Xingguo unscrewed the kettle and shook it, the kettle did not make a sound at all, he did not give up and unscrewed the lid and poured the kettle and shook it, and it took a long time before the spout dripped a drop of water.
Wang Xingguo licked his chapped lips, this drop of water could make him feel a little moist, and he stepped on the solid land of the Gobi Desert.
I don't know how long I walked, but the sun was releasing its heat in the desert without hesitation, and the surface temperature had exceeded 50°!
"A person can survive for at least 7 days without food and 3 days when there is no water, but at temperatures above 40°, an average of 15 litres of water is consumed per day, if you don't have water in your kettle! Congratulations, you have 3 hours to live! Wang Xingguo's mind sounded the voice of the survival instructor, "Avoid the time period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the desert temperature is the highest......
Wang Xingguo raised his head and squinted at the sun, it was noon, and the sun was hanging in the center, which was the time when the sun was at its fiercest.
"Find a shady place as soon as possible, even if it is a shadow, dig a pit and lie down, it will greatly prolong your survival time, persist until the evening, remember, you must ensure enough water, reasonable distribution of drinking water, 500 to 600 ml a day will not cause serious harm to the body in half a month, and if you learn how to distill water in the desert, you can get more water in one night......" The survival instructor's voice sounded in his head again," If any fool dares to cross the desert when there is no water and the heat is hot, he is either a madman or a superman! ”
Wang Xingguo knows that he is not a superman, but he is definitely a madman in the mouth of the instructor! In a desert survival, Wang Xingguo in order to hurry as soon as possible, did not stop at night to get water, the next day he was tortured by thirst to death, he pulled out the survival knife to cut the pulse, trying to drink his own blood to prolong the survival time, but the severe lack of water so that his veins could not bleed, just when he thought he was going to die, it happened that the monitoring helicopter found him, so he picked up a life, but since then there has been a psychological shadow on the desert.
He made the same mistake again, Wang Xingguo felt a headache, as if walking in a big oven, everything was so similar to back then, Wang Xingguo raised his left hand to block the sun, but at a glance he saw the mark on his wrist when he made a fool, his feet were soft, and he fainted......
In the hot air, Wang Xingguo felt his body slowly float up, and he strangely saw a person lying on his stomach in the desert, who was familiar to him.
"Hey, this fool actually crossed the desert at the hottest time...... Wang Xingguo said to the people on the ground in a mocking tone.
"An eagle with wings spread...... You're here......" Wang Xingguo heard someone calling him, he looked around and saw an old man waving at him in the air in the distance.
Wang Xingguo narrowed his eyes and recognized it for a long time before he realized that it was the high priest in the fortress, he was still dressed in the same costume as when he received him, and the scepter in his hand was shining golden in the sun......
"You...... How did it end up here? Wang Xingguo asked in surprise.
"I've been watching you...... The Ones Who Seek the Scepter...... Come...... Come on......" the high priest beckoned to him.
Wang Xingguo looked at the high priest, and then at the person lying on the ground, his mind was a little chaotic, he thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes widened, isn't the person lying on the ground himself? But how can you float in the air? Could it be an out-of-body soul?
"Come on! Come! The high priest waved at Wang Xingguo in the fluttering air, and Wang Xingguo felt a huge palm fall from the sky and slapped him back to the ground with one palm.
"Ahem......" Wang Xingguo, who was lying on his stomach, was choked up, he tried his best to support himself, and looked in the direction of the high priest, there was nothing in the floating air.
I was really out of my body just now, but since I can't die, let's live! Wang Xingguo gritted his teeth, licked his chapped lips, got up, staggered, and continued to walk forward under the scorching sun—the same direction that the high priest had told him to go over.
After walking for half an hour, Wang Xingguo saw a small stone mountain not far away, Wang Xingguo blinked in disbelief, it was indeed a stone mountain, he was in the low-lying part of the Gobi, it was so real, Wang Xingguo rubbed his eyes again, licked his chapped lips, it was not a mirage! It is indeed a stone mountain......
Wang Xingguo staggered into the stone mountain, there was a shady place, Wang Xingguo felt that he was relieved, he looked all the way along the low-lying place, and saw traces of water, Wang Xingguo pulled out a survival knife, and dug down on this low-lying sand......
“BOSS! We've dug 6 meters deep! The bearded man leaned feebly against a rock and said to Dick, "How long will it take?" ”
Dick looked at Xia Ruobing enjoying herself in the awning under the mountain, the sun changed direction, she also moved the chair to a place, and the ice in Dick's incubator had been consumed by her in less than a day!
"If this damn bitch dares to tease me, I'll make her look good!" Dick scolded fiercely in his heart and waved his hand: "Keep digging until you find the stone that seals the air hole!" ”
"Stones?! Can I use explosives? "The bearded man was already tortured by the sand, and when he heard the word stone, he instinctively thought of explosives.
"Then she's up to say!" Dick pointed to Xia Ruobing at the bottom of the mountain.
"If it weren't for her good looks, I would have blown her up a long time ago!" The bearded man said fiercely.
"People are not only beautiful, but also educated, and you are just a low-grade migrant worker." Chen Badai said a sentence without yin or yang!
The bearded man waved his furry fist at him, Chen Badai picked up the shovel without showing weakness, and Mr. Min hurriedly came over to pull the rack when he saw this.
"There are traces of artificial excavation!" A member of the team at the bottom of the pit shouted.
Dick hurried to the edge of the pit, but he couldn't see clearly.
When the cracked stone crevice was dug all the way down to a depth of more than 6 meters, the team finally saw the carved marks on the stone, which extended deeper under the sand.
This is good news, there are traces of manifold to prove that he is not in the wrong place, Dick checked the situation at the bottom of the pit and felt very satisfied, he ran to the bottom of the mountain, poured himself a glass of wine, plus two ice cubes, raised his glass and said to Xia Ruobing: "Hey, dear, the ancient Oriental Dragon Hunting Point, the art of dividing gold is probably like this, right?" ”
Xia Ruobing glanced at him: "Dick, it's not good for you to read too much literature on the stall." ”
"Well, I wonder how long longer you need to dig?" Dick took a sip of wine, this Xia Ruobing is getting worse and harder to serve.
"About five or six meters!" Xia Ruobing grabbed a magazine casually, this Dick still wants to enjoy it, and the fashion magazine he carried in the car is quite suitable for Xia Ruobing's appetite.
“HAT?! And five or six meters?! Dick's hand holding the glass froze in the air.
"You can also find a way to cut up these tens of thousands of tons of yellow sand...... Either you can continue digging for five or six meters to find the stone that seals the pores. Xia Ruobing opened the magazine.
"And then?"
"Chisel it open, and you can enter the royal tomb." Xia Ruobing said lightly.
Xia Ruobing said lightly, but it is not a simple matter to chisel a big stone, Dick stared, he really wanted to punch it, Xia Ruobing lost no time in adding another sentence: "There are many secret passages and mechanisms below, let your people chisel the stone and tell me, don't mess around......"
Dick cursed Xia Ruobing in his heart, but he couldn't scold, who let himself ask for others.
In the evening, the team members were already tired like mud, all day of hard work, digging an 8-meter-deep big sand pit, although in the sand pit saw artificial chisel marks, but how deep to dig no one knows, seeing that the sun was about to set, everyone threw down the tools down the mountain, casually ate something and went into the tent to sleep, Dick could only reluctantly accept the behavior of the team members, and returned to his big tent early to rest, everything can only wait for tomorrow......
After nightfall, the temperature in the desert plummeted, and it had dropped to more than ten degrees below zero at midnight, Xia Ruobing was in his single tent, wrapped in a sleeping bag, and felt as if someone was unzipping his tent......
Xia Ruobing turned over, and was just about to open his eyes, when suddenly his mouth was covered.
"Shh......h Hush...... It's me...... Don't make a sound......"
