Great Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Tiansheng, autumn.

In the distance of the sandbar desert, a rolling mountain stretches to a distant place.

A huge red sun is slowly falling. The horizon was unusually beautiful at the moment, and the setting sun emitted the last dazzling light before it fell.

Immediately, shadows the size of beans appeared on the desert. Under the sunset, they were small like ants carrying food, moving forward slowly.

The procession of these shadows grew longer and longer, and slowly became a long line, across the desert.

All the people were very excited, they shouted in the direction of the setting sun, and some began to dance with their hands, completely unable to control themselves, and the line that had been lined up in a line was now completely gone.

Mei Xiaohan put down the package and lay on the ground alone. Squinting his eyes and looking at the blood-colored sunset, his heart fell into deep thought.

Luckily, the team had enough equipment and materials, including water and dry food. Mei Xiaohan took a sip of water and screwed on the bottle cap, she didn't know how long it would take to get out of the desert, and no material could be wasted.

After determining the current position with the instrument, the expert shook his head and said, "We are now in the hinterland of the desert, and it may take a month to get out of this desert. ”

"What is the exact number of our food reserves," Mei Xiaohan asked.

"500 bottles of water with a capacity of 500 milliliters, a total of 500 kilograms of dry food. 5 kg of salt" Zhou Tonghui, who is in charge of catering, arrived at the road.

The food reserves equipped can cope with a period of time for a while, but after a long time, I am afraid of accidents, and the only way to leave the desert as soon as possible is the safest.

After the team marched ten kilometers, Mei Xiaohan gave the order to stop the march and rest.

Several 5 m×8 m military tents were erected, and this new type of tent steel frame structure is simple in structure, easy to spread and collect, and can withstand the load of level 8 wind sand and 7 cm thick snow.

The catering team gave everyone a bottle of water, a loaf of bread and a box of compressed biscuits, which was two days' worth of water.

Desert march, everything needs to be saved.

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river. Twilight casts a veil over the desert, and the vast majority of people experience it for the first time. For the first time, their feet set foot on this magical fertile soil, and what awaits them is a difficult test.

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, due to the frequent border wars, the expansion of territory, and the economic and cultural exchanges of the nation, the people at the bottom have gradually cared about the life of the border area, and their knowledge of the border area has also been enriched, and they not only do not feel so desolate and terrible about the border area.

The endless desert is scattered with dots of white bones, and not far away, Mei Xiaohan saw the white bones of a camel, which had been dried by the wind and sand at the moment.

There are no blue skies, white clouds, and fertile meadows, and countless flocks of sheep;

The wind, only the wind, this is the desert, it is the Gobi.

Natural selection, many creatures have been eliminated here, and many animals have been rejected.

There are also many creatures who are honored by the indifferent desert. The unforgiving desert is their life, and the desert is a witness to tenacious life.

Here, life is a well-deserved king.

Alive...

Must live unscathed.

There is a greater foundation in the distance waiting for Mei Xiaohan to lead this team to create, and we must live well at this moment.

The "guards" held their guns in both hands and stood firm at their posts, they must be 100 percent vigilant, and for the sake of the lives of the whole team, they cannot relax for a moment.

Some people started to get a little dissatisfied, complaining about the poor food. But most of them didn't say anything, they knew that the important task at the moment was to get out of the desert, and it was impossible to turn back, and there was no going back.

Oh...

The vast desert was silent and boring, and the occasional wolf howl or two came to alert the guards.

Mei Xiaohan sat on a mat, looking up at the night sky, thinking alone.

The desert wolves with golden light seemed to smell the scent of their prey, and they moved out in groups and outflanked them.

Most of them had already fallen asleep, and a few were still lingering around the tents, excited to see the desert for the first time, and it was difficult to sleep.

"Run! Fast... Come on! ”

Screams began to ring.

One of the guards fired a shot into the air, and the bullet pierced the sky, flashing through the air like a small cannonball.

Then came the crackling and dense sound of gunfire, towards the wild wolves that were coming from a distance.

Three wild wolves, twenty meters away from the tent, collapsed on the desert, blood still steaming.

Another head was shot twice in the abdomen, and blood continued to spurt out from the wound. The wolf opened its mouth and wailed.

The guards continued to replenish their guns, and after three shots, they quieted down and stopped struggling.

The people in the tents ran out, some of them not even wearing shoes.

"Count the number of people immediately," Mei Xiaohan ordered, with a resolute attitude and a serious expression.

The team is too loose and must be punished.

Fortunately, the number of people is not small, and everyone is safe. Only one person sneaked outside, was frightened by the wolf, pulled the and urine on his pants, and now unconscious, dragged back by the members of the same group, if it wasn't for the guard's accurate marksmanship, he would have been bitten by the wolf long ago.

"What group are you members of, and why are you so undisciplined!"

Lin Hao didn't know when, he got out of the crowd and snatched the gun from the guard.

He said sharply: "Call your team leader out!" ”

A middle-aged man of medium stature, about thirty years old, stood up, still with a blank face and dozing off.

"What's your name? Why not manage your team members! ”

"You listen to me carefully, your grandfather, my name is Zhang Bo, you little hairy boy, talk to me like this, I am an expert in physics, where have I ever been wronged like this. Follow you to play crossing, now play to the desert, I want to go back! ”

The crowd began to riot, and some people began to make noise, clamoring to go back, not wanting to stay in the desert anymore.

Many people are emotionally out of control at one point, and the situation is about to get out of control. Lin Hao even fired dozens of shots into the air, but it was useless.

"Bang"

A bullet suddenly flew from a distance and hit Zhang Bo in the center of his forehead with precision. Before he could react, Zhang Bo fell to the ground.

Life represents everything here, and those who endanger everyone's safety and disturb the morale of the army must die.

If you can't control the situation, there will be constant troubles and potential dangers for the team with people like Zhang Bo. Some decisions have to be made.

Everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the bullets were flying, and the M1911 pistol in Mei Xiaohan's hand was still emitting a faint light smoke...

"I'm leaving... I'm leaving, getting out of this hell! ”

"Take me away! I'm leaving! ”

A fat man lost control of his emotions and rushed to the guard to snatch a rifle in his hand.

"Bang bang..."Mei Xiaohan decisively fired three shots in a row, and the fat man walked very peacefully.

Mei Xiaohan turned her face to look at Lin Hao, and said, "Go on, count the number of people." ”

There was a deathly silence all around, and in the face of death, everyone was silent, and there was no longer a voice of protest.

"The counts of each group have been completed, and there are a total of ninety-eight people, and there is no one missing!" Lin Hao hunched his waist and reported.

"No... Ninety-five people in total! ”

After speaking, Mei Xiaohan fired three shots at the three people who were running away in the distance, and the three fell to the ground one by one after running hundreds of meters.
