Chapter 325: Sea of Death
Professor Zhang's face turned a little whiter, his eyes were red, it seemed that the painkiller had an effect, Wang Ze did not curl up and roll anymore, but trembled slightly, and several students next to him hurriedly carried him to the shade below, but unfortunately no one could help him, so he could only watch him shiver in pain.
Professor Zhang's face changed uncertainly, his fists were clenched tightly, and he looked like he was eager to suffer for Wang Ze, and after a while, seeing that Wang Ze had not improved, he suddenly stood up and walked in front of Ah Chuan: "Mr. Mo, let's go back, I brought these children out, I have to give their parents an explanation, no matter how the archaeological activities are delayed, in case something happens to him......"
Ah Chuan's eyes gradually cooled, and he said with a straight face: "It's late, we've been gone for two and a half days, if he can survive in two days, it'll be fine, even if it's too late to go back now, don't say that there is no hospital in Kurgan, even if there is, it can't be cured, and the medicine he will be given to him at the hospital is still these medicines." ”
Professor Zhang's face became more and more ugly, and in the end, he looked like he was so flustered that he even forgot that we had been gone for more than two days, if it was really as Ah Chuan said, it would be fine after two days, and it was really useless to go back.
The Mojia branch must have a medical room with advanced equipment, but it is impossible to blatantly let the archaeological team know, I don't know about this toxin, but Ah Chuan also values human life, and once wanted to inject him with medicine in order to save Lao Huang, and he will never see death or not save him, which can only show that there is indeed no cure.
Atropine is not a common drug, but I have also heard of it, it seems to treat muscle spasms, to be honest, I didn't expect that the medicine in our medicine box is so complete, plus painkillers, it is really to relieve pain, it is definitely not half useful for detoxification, Wang Ze can only survive by himself.
Lao Huang had a stinky face on the side, looking irritable, he was already disgusted with the archaeological team, and now he has added to the accident, if he hadn't seen Xiao Qi have no complaints, maybe he would have picked his son and left, and at this moment he sat sullenly for a while, and then leaned on the sand dune and fell.
Wang Ze was still shivering and sweating, his face was full of pain, although he didn't roll around, but the irrepressible crackling sound continued to squeeze out of his mouth, and the remaining three students didn't dare to run around, and they surrounded him one by one with a worried face.
"Go on, it's useless to stay here, carry him up." After another few dozen minutes, Ah Chuan got up and said.
When Professor Zhang heard this, he immediately panicked: "Still going?" Let's go back, forget about this trip, Mr. Mo, don't worry, the reward will not be less. ”
Where is the reward what Ah Chuan is thinking about, our purpose is a large army, and there is no way to speak well at the moment, so he said with a cold face: "There is no reason to give up halfway when traveling in the desert, you don't keep your promises, and there will never be a guide willing to help you in the future." ”
I felt a chill in my heart, what Ah Chuan said was a little unkind, but after thinking about it, there was indeed no suitable reason, Professor Zhang's personality was indecisive at first glance, and he was even more panicked at the moment, but Wang Yiming on the side stood up: "Then let's wait here for two days, okay?" You see him like this, even if there is a camel, it is uncomfortable. ”
Ah Chuan did not let go: "No, if the supplies are insufficient for two days, everyone may not be able to come back." ”
I licked my lips, it was really hard for him to tell a lie so naturally, the supplies we brought were almost twice as many people, even if it was delayed for another ten days, it would be no problem, but there was no backup on Uncle Yuan's side, and Ah Chuan would never let the mission fail.
Professor Zhang lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood up on the sand, looking tired, but his voice was unquestionable: "Get up, listen to Mr. Mo's arrangement, and quickly send Wang Ze to the camel." ”
This professor Zhang has a really good temper, not to mention Lao Huang in this situation, I will definitely be unable to hold back and jump up, Ah Chuan saw him loosen his mouth, and a trace of unbearability flowed in his eyes, and it quickly disappeared.
The caravan continued to move forward, and Wang Ze was placed on the last camel, and did not struggle anymore*, it seemed that he had no strength to scream, and could only close his eyes and hum a few times, looking like he was dying, as if he would lose his breath at any time.
We walked back to the head of the team, Xiao Qi fell at the end, I knew that she wanted to pay attention to Wang Ze's situation at any time, I looked at the archaeological team, they were just tired and uncomfortable, but now they were filled with a low air pressure, and their eyes were lifeless, as if Wang Ze was dead.
I knew I shouldn't have so many good intentions, it was already mid-afternoon when I set off, and now it didn't take long for the sun to sink into the dunes, and the sun was very strange today, bright red like a ball of fire, and the sky was full of fiery orange, and there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the desert was desolate and silent, like the end of the world.
Ah Chuan didn't stop, no one asked, the wind gradually cooled down, we consciously changed into thick clothes, the sky became darker and darker, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the yellow sand in front of us seemed to gradually change color, and it looked white under the searchlight, as if covered with a layer of snow.
We walked for more than an hour, and even if it was a little late, I could feel that the sand here had changed significantly, they were no longer thick and soft, but like the land that had dried up for a long time, with a feeling of clumping, gently crushing but becoming fine, perhaps because the wind was too strong, blowing the surface sand very firmly, and I could see that the sand in front of me was full of wave-like lines, like the shallows of the sea that had been constantly hit by the waves.
Maybe it's because the temperature is so low that I can't notice the dryness, or maybe it's because my face is frozen and my nose is blowing, but the air here seems to be a little moist.
"It rained here, probably just the other day," Achuan said suddenly, pausing under a sheltered sand dune, "Let's set up camp." ”
No one answered, not to mention that it had rained a few days ago, even if it had just rained this afternoon, it would not leave us with a drop of water now, but there were indeed a lot of small creatures here, and after digging a few times when camping, I saw many small animals being alarmed and escaping from the sand.
Wang Ze was picked up from the camel by Lao Huang, his facial features were crowded together and his face was full of pain, I don't know if he had no strength to toss or the pain was relieved, he looked a little better than in the afternoon, Ah Chuan fed him a few more pills, poured some water, and sent him into the tent.
Today's style is extraordinarily big, the bonfire can't be lit at all, the archaeological team is worried, and they don't have the heart to stay longer, they go to bed early, Ah Chuan took a medical kit and lived in a tent with Wang Ze, and I was still huddled with Lao Huang.
"Osawa, it's really boring."
We were lying quietly in the dark, Lao Huang suddenly said, I don't feel good in my heart, I want to ask him what's wrong, but I heard his snoring already sounded.
Forget it, what do you want to do so much, I turned over to the tent, my mind was full of Uncle Yuan and them, they were hurrying day and night, maybe they had reached the ruins at this time, and I didn't know what kind of danger they would encounter.
Soon I fell asleep, the wind outside was very strong, and the sand that was raised beat on the tent, making a sound similar to that of a rainy night, making people drowsy, I slept quite peacefully, and woke up once halfway, and when I saw the sky, I still couldn't see my fingers, and I turned over and fell asleep again.
"Got up, got up, got ......"
A series of voices sounded outside the tent, and I woke up with a thrill, the residual headache from yesterday was gone, and my body had recovered a lot, and to be honest, this trip was more comfortable than ever, I was always in a state of nervous progress, and I had never had so much time to rest.
The sky was still not very bright, I pushed Lao Huang, he quickly sat up, opened the tent to see, only to see that the sky was dark and yellow, the wind was a little lighter than last night, but it was still very strong, as soon as the tent opened, it blew the tarpaulin hunting sound.
I found out that a small part of our tent was already buried under the white sand, and now when I got out of the tent and looked around, I saw a piece of white sand flying in the wind, and the sand seemed to have lost its vitality, so white that it made people panic.
The camel is not as quiet as usual, one by one shaking the hooves a little anxious, we ate something casually, packed the luggage, Ah Chuan picked Wang Ze on the camel, he was still the same as when he rested yesterday, but he was weaker, his eyes became blue, tormented by such pain, even if he was sleepy and tired, he couldn't sleep.
I was finally able to drink the water by myself, it should have improved, Professor Zhang's face was also a little better, and after a few words with Wang Ze, he could barely answer.
I glanced at the compass in Ah Chuan's hand, or heading west, just a little off, we climbed up the sand dunes in front of us, only to see that the sand valley in front of us was full of white bones, half-hidden under the white sand, extremely dead and desolate.
I was taken aback, and when I looked closely, these white bones were all animal bones, but unfortunately most of them were broken, and they looked weathered for a long time, except for a huge antler, which was particularly obvious, and there were skulls of different shapes everywhere, large or small, half buried in the sand, and some of the skulls had obvious fangs, which looked like carnivores.
This is the real sea of death, especially under the dim and gloomy sky, like a yellow spring in hell, Professor Zhang stretched out his hand to block the wind, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, his eyes were full of shock, those students were all looking uneasy, this kind of weather is really not suitable for moving forward, not to mention that there are still corpses and bones below.
No one dared to wait, all of them put their hopes on Ah Chuan, who would have thought that a sand dune would be like two worlds apart, I couldn't help but look at Ah Chuan a few more times, the place where he camped was too coincidental, just on the edge of the bones, as if he had known it for a long time.
Ah Chuan was still holding a compass in his hand, I went up again, but I saw that the pointer on it was dripping and turning, and it didn't stop for a long time, I looked at Ah Chuan in surprise, saw him smile, and spit out a sentence: "The magnetic field is disordered, I found it when I was exploring the path last night." ”
