At this time, it was the most poisonous time of the day, the temperature in the Gobi had exceeded forty degrees, Zhang Heng put his backpack on his head to block the direct sunlight a little, but this action was not of much use, and after walking along the railway for a while, his exposed skin outside his sleeves was tanned, and the heat wave was steaming, and the vision in front of him was distorted.

As a last resort, he had to find a backlit rock wall, sit down and rest for a while, waiting for the sun to turn a little away before setting off again, while a whip-tailed lizard hid in the same shadow as him to escape the heat.

In the Apollo Program training camp, Zhang Heng also trained in the desert survival link, but that was in the case of a supply package, NASA still did a good job in this regard, basically all emergency situations were taken into account, and anti-inflammatory drugs were also prepared, but this time it was different, Zhang Heng was suddenly thrown to the Gobi by the game system, from the equipment he wore to the equipment he carried, he was not suitable for desert survival.

However, since he found the railroad tracks, Zhang Heng's original plan was to extend the railroad tracks for a while, and then pick up the train to reach the next settlement when the train came, but I don't know if it was his bad luck, more than two hours have passed so far, and he has not seen a train, so he can only continue to walk on his own legs.

This time, he walked for almost four hours, and the water in his body was evaporated quickly, not only did the corners of his mouth begin to dry and crack, but the exposed calves and arms were also a little red and swollen, which meant that he had been mildly sunburned.

Fortunately, at this time, he could also see the town in the wind and sand in the distance.

Zhang Heng's hanging heart finally let go.

Like most of the towns in the west at this time, the town in front of him, whose name he did not know, was built on the railroad, which ran through the center of the town, with houses on one side and taverns, courtyards, casinos and other entertainment areas on the other, because drunken people were prone to trouble, so it was necessary to isolate these revelers.

However, when Zhang Heng got closer, he still found some unusual places.

One of the most important things is that it's so deserted.

Although there were also houses with wide open doors along the way, Zhang Heng couldn't see a single figure inside, and the things were also moved, Zhang Heng casually walked into a room and found that the ground was full of dust, and its owner obviously hadn't come back for a long time.

The situation of other houses in the vicinity is similar, the only difference is the bar in the town, Zhang Heng saw eight horses outside the door.

Considering that this was most likely the only place in the entire town where there were people, he didn't hesitate too long to push open the door to the bar.

Unlike the empty towns outside, the bar was bustling with four men cursing at each other at a table playing poker, a drunken guy lying directly on a window table, snoring loudly, a lame bar owner counting the wine on the shelves, and two slightly quieter young men at another table, one wiping his rifle and the other playing with a dagger.

When Zhang Heng walked in, it was as if someone had pressed the silence button, and the noisy bar suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Heng can understand their thoughts, after all, his 21st century dress looks a little too trendy in this era, and coupled with his skin color, it is difficult not to be eye-catching

However, he didn't come on a blind date, and he didn't care too much about what other people thought of him, so he glanced at his surroundings roughly, walked straight to the bar, and put down his backpack.

"Excuse me, bring me a glass of water...... Wine is also available. ”

However, the lame boss did not turn around when he heard this, in fact, he was still tidying up the wine rack as if he had not heard anything.

Zhang Heng frowned, because the composition of immigrants in the United States is very complicated, not only England and Scots, but also many people from other countries, so although this situation is relatively rare, it cannot be ruled out that the boss does not know English, so Zhang Heng asked again in French and Spanish.

It still didn't work.

Instead, a bearded man put down the poker in his hand and walked over, unlike his rough appearance like a hairy bear, he was unexpectedly polite, and asked Zhang Heng, "Do you mind if I sit next to you?" ”

"No, please." Zhang Heng said, paused and asked, "Since you are guests here, you should be able to answer my next question, is the owner of this bar deaf?" ”

"Hahahaha." The bear-like man laughed twice when he heard this, but he didn't answer Zhang Heng's question immediately, but said with interest, "Where are you from, my friend, I didn't see your horse outside." ”

"Something else...... on town. Zhang Heng said.

"But as far as I know, there are no other towns within a hundred miles of here."

"So as you can see, I've come a long way." Zhang Heng said, he glanced sideways at the table where the man was sitting before, and pointed to a bottle of whiskey on it, "Can you bring me a glass, I haven't drunk water for a long time." ”

"Of course, of course, as the saying goes, good wine is always meant to be shared with friends." The bear-like man smiled, but he didn't get up, but still sat in place, looked at Zhang Heng, and blinked, "You're a Chinese guy, aren't you, although you look stronger than most Chinese guys, wearing weird clothes, and there's no such thing behind your head......"

The bear-like man gestured with a braid, "Don't be nervous, I also had two Chinese friends before, they opened a grocery store in town, I like them, from the bottom of my heart, I always visit their shop, those industrious and tireless little things, like bees flying in your ears every day, buzzing and buzzing, forgive me, I haven't read much, this metaphor may not be appropriate...... Until one day, something went wrong with our friendship. ”

The look on the face of the hairy bear-like man looked very troubled, "You come to judge, that morning, I went to their shop as usual, took some honey candles to eat or something, and about two bottles of wine, but when I left, they suddenly stopped me and asked me to pay, and by the way, I also paid off the previous debt, this behavior hurt me deeply, given the deep friendship between us, I don't think this pure affection can be measured by money, so I put down the honey and put down the candles, He put down the bacon ham in his hand, then opened one of the bottles of wine and took two sips.

"And my two friends kept chattering in my ear, so I had to pull out the revolver at my waist, shoot one of them in their cute little heads, and ...... All of a sudden, all the problems between us were solved. ”

The bear-like man smiled, "Now, I'll answer your previous question, no, the one-legged Randall is not deaf in his ears, considering his age, this old bastard's ears are more sensitive than a dog's, he clearly hears every word you say, but...... He's just tm and doesn't care at all. ”
