The next day, Qin Chuan learned the true meaning of what Bushra meant by the barren land...... As far as the eye could see, there was golden sand, like a sea of sand, which continued one after another until the end of the day, and if you didn't know that it was full of heat and death, you would have been deceived by its beautiful appearance.

Brash stopped, spread a blanket on the ground, and with words in his mouth, he knelt down and bowed down reverently, and then again, and so on.

The soldiers didn't bother Brash, for they were also shocked by what they saw, and many of them prayed silently in their hearts with crosses on their chests...... Whether it is Libyan or German, the troops do need the protection of the gods now.

After a long time, Bushra stood up, looked at the boundless golden desert, and said with an expression of great awe: "Avana chooses the Olympics...... A place where demons dwell, once you walk in, your life will be handed over to demons! ”

At first, Qin Chuan thought that Bushra's words were more of a legend or exaggeration, but after walking in, he realized that what Bushra said was true.

There is no trace of this desert at all, everything you can see is the same, except for the sand dunes and dunes, if you want to find a tree or a mountain as a sign, it is basically a fantasy, and even the sand dunes under your feet are not static...... Today the dunes are like this, tomorrow will be the same, and a storm can even "shuffle" everything.

This is a natural labyrinth for those who walk in it, and the only thing they can rely on is direction.

But in fact, the direction is not reliable, because their destination is the Oasis of Mtes.

"The Oasis of Mses has only one point on the map!" Bushra explained: "Many people do not notice it even if they pass by, and the result is that they die of thirst on the rest of the journey!" ”

"And how did you find it?" Qin Chuan asked.

"I don't know!" Bushra replied, "But I just can find it!" ”

Alfredo added in his translation: "Maybe it's the feeling!" ”

Qin Chuan nodded in agreement, although this is not scientific, but now he can only choose to believe in feelings.

Another problem is that after entering this "demon habitat", the marching speed slows down exponentially.

There are two reasons for this:

One is that the terrain is uneven and mostly soft fine sand.

Bumpiness means that the actual trip is much longer than the straight line on the map...... The troops were always climbing over hill after hill, so although the troops marched with enthusiasm, they were advancing at less than half the speed of the previous ones.

The soft sand makes it more difficult to walk, especially up the mountain, where you will slide back a few steps, and if you don't put your mind down, you will have to slide straight to the bottom of the mountain and have to start all over again.

Another reason is that the terrain causes a lot of trouble for cars...... Cars could not climb over these dunes, which were made of soft and fine sand, and they had to find a more curved but relatively flat way forward with the help of reconnaissance troops.

As a result, the logistics convoy and the troops had to move separately...... The convoy circled under the dunes, and the troops climbed over the hills in a straight line.

Fortunately, both sides have radio stations, and they often use flares to point out their positions to each other, so that they will not be separated.

If only these difficulties were good, the troops were always advancing, and there was enough water for the troops to reach the Oasis of Mses...... The oasis not only replenishes water, but also means that it has come out of the most dangerous "devil's habitat".

But as the saying goes, the day after entering the golden desert, while the soldiers were still trying to climb up and down the sand dunes, Bushra's camels suddenly became agitated, and they refused to advance no matter what, so they stood there and called.

This alarmed Bushra, who hurriedly raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stop advancing and remain quiet.

Qin Chuan looked around, but didn't find anything, the sun was still hanging high in the sky, roasting the people and the desert below, and there was nothing around except them.

But Bushra's solemn expression made Zhang Chi feel that something had happened, and it was not a trivial matter.

"What's the situation?" Qin Chuan asked.

Alfredo spread his hands and replied, "I don't know, Bushra talks about the wind, but what is there to be afraid of when the wind blows......"

Before he could finish speaking, Alfredo stared at the northwest with his mouth wide open, stunned on the spot.

Qin Chuan looked along Alfredo's line of sight, only to see a cloud of smoke in the distance at some point, and if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was a cloud, or a cloud of smoke from a cannonball.

"It's a sandstorm!" Alfredo's expression changed drastically, and he waved his hand and shouted at the soldiers: "Disperse, find a place to hide!" ”

In fact, this is the same as not saying it, because there is no place to hide if you want to hide, there are sand dunes everywhere, and it is the same wherever you hide.

Bushra controlled the camels and asked them to squat down, hurriedly checked whether the water bags and food were tied tightly, and then got under the camels and hid, and after a while, he poked his head out and beckoned to Qin Chuan and the others.

Qin Chuan understood, beckoned his subordinates, and got under the camel with a few soldiers...... This really gives me a little more security, although the smell of the camels is a little unbearable.

Then, Qin Chuan poked his head out curiously to look at the sandstorm...... It was the first time he had actually seen a sandstorm.

At this time, the sandstorm was getting bigger and bigger, and it looked like a sand wall from a distance, a moving sand wall, slowly approaching Qin Chuan and the others. It was like a raging sea, rolling in with gray-black waves.

If you look closely, you will notice that the upper layer of the wall is slightly yellowish-red, the middle layer is grayish-black, and the lower layer is black.

Qin Chuan knows the cause of these colors: the upper layer is floating with relatively fine dust, and the sunlight from the top down reflects through the dust, so what he sees is yellow-red; The middle layer has large particles, and the sunlight only partially penetrates, so it is grayish-black; The lower layer is the largest, and the sunlight is almost impenetrable, and all you see is black.

The wind is getting stronger, and the sandstorm is getting closer and closer, and then it takes off...... The whole sky suddenly darkened, and all of a sudden, sand was flying everywhere, and they were pervasively burrowing from the cuffs, collars, and other places with the heat of being exposed to the sun, hitting the face with pain, and it was difficult to open the eyes.

It's a strange feeling, like night comes suddenly, but it's not night, because every now and then one or two rays of sunlight come down overhead...... This is due to the uneven churning wind and sand, which occasionally allows a few rays of sunlight to enter through the gaps, so that the flickering lights are a bit like the rotating lights of a dance hall. If it weren't for the fact that the sand and dust almost blocked Qin Chuan's mouth and nose and made him unable to breathe, this could still be regarded as a beautiful scenery.

Qin Chuan carefully took out the towel from his backpack, tied it to his face to cover his mouth and nose with great difficulty, and then pressed the side of the towel with one hand...... He was worried that the strong wind howling in front of him would suddenly blow the towel away, and if that was the case, he would have to worry that he would not be able to eat dinner, because the dust would surely fill his stomach.

At this moment, a gunshot was faintly heard in the wind...... Then came the neighing of the camel in pain.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly say that it was bad, I don't know which hairy guy hit the camel with a rifle misfire.
