Chapter 80: Remnants
A heat wave swept across the desert, and the weather here was very strange. During the day, the sun is blazing, but at night it is like falling into an ice cellar. The world of ice and fire has created a place where few people visit.
With the exception of a few adventure enthusiasts and archaeologists, few outsiders set foot in this vast desert. Because under this vast desert, countless historical civilizations have been buried, and there are only unjust souls and vanished civilizations here, and there is no longer any life.
A small group of figures quickly raised their heads from a certain sand dune, and it was already dark in front of them, as if the whole world was covered in wind and sand. They could see through the goggles with limited vision, and they could see at most three meters away.
After making sure that there was no danger ahead, the team quickly set off from the hidden sand dunes, acting extremely cautiously, even after making sure that there was no danger ahead, they kept looking around.
The number of this group was roughly about a hundred, and everyone was deeply tired. It seems that they have been walking for countless days and nights, and have been fighting against this desert.
"Damn the sandstorm, this should be the last time before dark." The bearded man in the lead took off his scarf and spat out a large mouthful of thick phlegm with wind and sand and said.
"I guess so, it's getting dark in less than half an hour. Since the beginning of this wind and sand, it has become much weaker, and I hope it will stop soon. Beside the mustachioed man, the sound of an urn echoed.
"It was this damn wind and sand that kept us in the dunes for five hours. Five hours, that's more precious than life for us wanderers, ......" the mustache let out a long sigh, and there was an indescribable loneliness in his words.
The voice of the urn sounded again: "Don't worry, there are still three days, and when we cross this desert, we can go to one of the temporary bases." There's water, food, transportation, and a lot of money for activities. When the time comes, if you want to leave, or continue to stay and fight, it's up to you. โ
The bearded man said indignantly: "Of course, stay and fight, Allah will always bless us, and we will eventually defeat those hateful devils." It's just that our water and food will last less than three days. โ
The mustache looked at his kettle in embarrassment, and there was only half a pot of water left in it. The man with the sound of the urn immediately patted him on the shoulder, and in the wind and sand, his eyes revealed a kind of persistent perseverance.
"Don't worry, as long as we have Allah in our hearts, then He will surely bless us in the predicament we are in. We will fight for Allah, and Allah will not abandon us. โ
This sentence seemed to have magical powers, and not only the mustachioed man, but also the militants around him who heard it all had a strange sparkle in their eyes. It was as if their Allah was standing in front of them and proclaiming an oracle to them.
The team is moving faster, and the wind and sand are gradually decreasing. From a distance, the desert team struggled like ants through the flood. But they have a certain tenacious will, a will to never give up.
This squad is a small remnant of terrorists who escaped from one of the Bรกb's military bases ten days ago, and there are many more like theirs throughout the desert.
There weren't many escape doors in the underground base, but even so, a number of terrorists escaped the extinction-like pursuit.
As soon as they escaped from the base, they immediately broke into pieces, organized different underground bases, and agreed on the direction of escape. Then quickly separated, avoiding being annihilated by the Chinese army that caught up.
It just so happened that all the main attacking forces of the Huaxia army were placed in the various underground bases of Babu, and they didn't pay special attention to these small forces that escaped, so they were able to let these people escape into the desert all the time.
These people all have a clear goal, which is a temporary base deeper in the desert. Once there, they will have all the supplies they want. There, they will be reunited as a new force.
The temporary bases were built later and were originally intended to be used as warehouses and strategic reserves. The Bรกb's intention was to wait until the great battle came, and a steady stream of supplies from the depths of the desert would be able to supply his troops for three years.
But this changed dramatically, and the attack of the Chinese completely disrupted Babu's original plan. ruined all his military power, and forced this former generation of heroes to flee from other countries. Then his original secret temporary base may be buried in the desert forever.
Unfortunately, Babu has not really finished off these terrorist soldiers under his command, who, having lost a spiritual sustenance, are anxious to find a place to fulfill their oath to Allah.
At this time, someone stood up and said that there were still secret temporary bases, so these remnants who escaped from the underground military bases immediately flocked to those secret temporary bases without hesitation.
They believe that the Chinese people cannot stay in this desert forever, and at most half a year, the Chinese people will definitely withdraw their troops from here on a large scale. When the time comes, this place will still belong to them.
As long as they take a break from the legendary secret temporary base, they will have enough troops and weapons to fight back and continue to fight for their Allah.
I am afraid that even Babu did not anticipate this in advance. Even after his fall, his soldiers are still stubbornly preparing to fight back and waiting for his return.
After nightfall, the wind and sand finally stopped. This group may have been motivated during the day, and the distance they traveled was more than double the usual one.
A strong spiritual thirst sustained them on their journey, from the cold of the night to the depths of the night. At this time, the corners of the mouths of many soldiers had begun to turn a little purple, and the man with the urn sound immediately stopped the line and continued to move forward.
He had a big beard, and when he took off his scarf, he looked like a purebred Arab. But the eyes are like night, blooming with a strange look.
"Let's rest in place, make a fire and cook, and replenish our physical energy." The man said without any questioning, his original rank was captain, so he was also the most dignified person in this group.
Hearing the man's command, the soldiers did not hesitate, and all of them screamed in comfort and fell to the ground. The fire was quickly lit, and the warm feeling suddenly permeated the whole body of the soldiers who were already frozen.
"This damn desert is colder than the night in my hometown." A soldier took a large sip of wine, and the heat flowed through his body. His eyes were red, and he looked up at the dark sky, as if thinking of his hometown.
"Thankfully, you can still feel it. Many of them died in the base, and they would never be able to climb out. Another soldier teased.
"It's all the devils of the Chinese people, who ruined our homes and killed our brothers. One day, I must cut off the heads of the Chinese people to avenge my brothers. The red-eyed soldier shook the flask viciously, took a large sip, and tossed it to his companion.
The mustache looked at the tired soldier, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned to the bearded man and said, "Thor, the momentum of the soldiers is still very high, it seems that we can reach the secret base smoothly." โ
The big man called Thor raised his head and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, there are still two days to go." I'm sure there must be a lot of escapees going back there, and I've heard that there are more than fifty of those bases in the desert, and there must be people inside. Our strength is still there, and we will be able to fight back one day. โ
The two of them were full of confidence, but at this moment, the roaring sound of a motor came from the desert not far away. The rest of the team immediately changed their faces, and Thor shouted loudly for the team members to extinguish the campfire and lie down.
What they hid was a sand dune, and in the cold night, even if they saw a fire in a distant place. As long as the bonfire is extinguished, it is even harder to find these 100 people in the desert full of sand dunes than to find a needle in a haystack.
"These damn Chinese people are really like devils chasing their lives. We've already destroyed our base, are we going to chase them into the desert? There was a deep hatred in the mustache's eyes.
At this time, the sound of a high-powered motor in the desert could not be their friend. The entire military base has been destroyed, and the terrorist forces are now in a state of strangulation in this desert. How can there be friends who will appear, it must be Chinese people who appear at this time.
Thor closed his eyes and didn't speak, he was listening. Listen to the sound of those high-powered engines, but also listen to the faint vibrations in the desert. He was like a cunning desert fox, listening to a qiฤ.
After a moment, he snapped his eyes open. "Oh no, they found us, the convoy is coming in the direction of us." โ
This sentence was like a thunderbolt exploding in the middle of the squad, and the methods of the Chinese people to deal with the terrorists immediately came to mind. The tragic deaths of those companions are vividly remembered, and how can they fight the hunters now that they lack even weapons.
"Let's go, take advantage of the concealment of the dunes, and maybe we'll be able to escape." Thor gave a brief order, stood up and directed the troops to evacuate quickly.
But they were still late, and two straight rays of light seemed to burst out of the sky, illuminating their path. Then several more cars surrounded them, and Thor could hear the bolt of the machine gun on the car.
"Bless us, O Allah, those of us who are besieged by the devil." Thor laughed miserably and raised his gun to fight as hard as the rest of the group ran around like headless flies.
Da-da.......-da
In the convoy, an old voice said slowly: "For Allah's sake, can you escaped rats be quieter?" โ
