When the morning sun shone on the desert, the temperature rose so rapidly that there was no chance for people to react, and the scorching desert began to burn again.

This billion-year-old desert has been transformed by the earth's crust, and the chalk formed by submarine volcanoes and red algae fossils have been exposed to the surface, and the lava from the eruption has cooled and solidified into coarse-grained basalt and iron-bearing quartz sand, covering the yellow sand blown by Libya, shining like diamonds with a dazzling luster.

After Ateba father and daughter woke up, the first thing was to prepare breakfast for everyone, the girls in the Egyptian desert do not go to school, they are good at housekeeping since childhood, there are no ingredients in the desert, all the raw materials are brought from home, although simple and crude, but Puna's craftsmanship is very good, very in line with everyone's taste.

Immediately after breakfast, they set off, tossed their luggage and equipment on the camel's back, and set off on the day's trek to the desert.

The desert ahead is becoming more and more primitive, but the scenery in the desert is very beautiful, which cannot be seen elsewhere, and they saw a thousand strange rocks in the sand along the way, all of which are naturally formed works of art, a bit like houses, some like cows and horses, and some like desert monsters.

And the more they walked forward, the drier the air became, the vegetation became more and more scarce, the wind whistled in the boundless yellow sand, and there was nothing but their camel caravan walking in front of them.

Gradually, small black mounds appeared on the horizon, and the desert became darker and darker, and Ateba told them that this was the high mountain in the desert, which people called "sand mountains".

When the camels walked to the bottom of the sand mountain, Ateba suggested that everyone rest for a while, because the wind was constantly whirling on the sand, which was a sign that the sandstorm was coming, and there was a sheltered place under the silly mountain, where the camels were safe, and it would be better for people to hide in the sand mountain.

They left the camels underneath and climbed up this sand hill together, the whole sand hill was black, the sand here was no longer delicate, the black sand was mixed with yellow sand, and it looked coarse.

They stand on the top of the sand mountain and look around, they can see the horizon of the sky in every direction, the sky and the desert are so vast, the yellow-brown land where there is no grass grows, the black sand mountains seem to be isolated islands in the sand sea, and the one they are now in is the highest one among these sand mountains.

Just when the wind and sand were gradually rising and about to turn into a sandstorm, Ji Ying suddenly patted Chen Zhi's shoulder and pointed ahead, only to see a few small black dots moving on the edge of the desert in front of him, like ants.

Chen Zhi hurriedly set up his binoculars and looked, only to see a team of camels coming from the desert and heading straight here, very hurried, obviously also coming to avoid the wind and sand.

As the camel caravan drew nearer, a group of turbaned Arabs sat on them, and their camels had no goods on them, but many large beige bags, like sacks, and on the cushions of the camels, strings of bells were tied.

Ateba looked at those people in the telescope and frowned, took a sip in disgust, and then said to Chen Zhi,

"We have to be careful, they are human traffickers ......."

Traffickers are very common in Egypt, abducting children and women, bringing young girls to brothels, taking children from their mothers' arms, cutting off their hands and feet and sending them to beggars.

The team of camels quickly rushed to the foot of the sand mountain, they left the camels below, and also climbed the sand mountain, and when they looked at Chen Zhi's team, they immediately raised their guns.

Ateba hurriedly shouted a few times, walked over and spoke to them in Arabic, and then the men put away their guns.

There were seven members of this Arab team, each wearing a white hood with a black and white hat rope on it, and their faces were blown by the wind and sand like mud gourds, and their facial features were dark and unclear.

But the man at the head was very distinctive, he was about forty or fifty years old, and he had a large scar on his face from top to bottom, the scar was very deep, the skin and flesh were separated from top to bottom, and a mouthful of burnt cigarette-stained teeth looked very disgusting.

The sandstorm finally came, everyone was in a hurry to find a place to shelter from the sandstorm, there was a large grotto on this mountain, there was no other place to hide, and in desperation, both teams went in, each guarding a corner to settle.

After the two groups sat separately, they each formed a circle in their own positions, keeping a safe distance from each other, and the Arabs were at first very vigilant, and they placed their guns in a conspicuous position to warn the Asians.

The outside world immediately developed a violent wind raging, the wind and sand rose everywhere, and the world became gray, and the blowing sand and dust hit the stone wall outside, and even in the cave hole, you could hear the deafening sound outside.

While they waited, the Arabs took out the dry food they had brought with them and chewed on them, and opened their water bags to drink, and then some of them began to glance at the women, especially the leader with big yellow teeth, whose eyes never took off Ji Ying and Mina.

Ji Ying and Mina are both outstanding in appearance, especially Ji Ying, who is a goddess even in the aesthetics of Westerners, and the face of an Asian person like Ji Ying is very fresh in the minds of Arabs.

Big Yellow Fang stared at Ji Ying for a long time, and deliberately raised his voice and coughed a few times, Ji Ying heard it, but ignored them.

At this time, the leader took out a few Egyptian cigarettes from his bosom, and politely called Ateba in Arabic, with a very friendly attitude, meaning that he wanted to talk.

Instead of accepting their cigarettes, Ateba spoke to them in Arabic, and when he heard their request, Ateba's face turned ugly and he said a few hard words in a cold tone.

Fat Wei was very curious about what they were talking about, and asked Mina to help them translate.

Mina's brows furrowed tightly, and she looked at the yellow-toothed leader in disgust, and whispered.

"They are all traffickers, thinking that Ji Ying and I are both women you bought, and they want to ask what the price is?

If the price is right, they are willing to buy me and Ji Ying, they have a way to find better buyers, especially Ji Ying, their boss likes it very much and is willing to pay a higher price......"

"These dead Arabs dare to sell human beings so blatantly, and they are not afraid that they will not have a son in ......the future."

Fat Wei looked at the head of the trafficker with big yellow teeth viciously, and spat hard.

But Ateba chatted with them for a long time, his voice became lower and lower, and finally he even took their cigarettes and laughed politely with them.

"Chen, I have good news for you......"
