Through a few days of understanding, I found that this Anna is very lively and outgoing, and particularly optimistic, and contact with people is also very open, she can speak Chinese, but Chinese is not fluent, but can barely understand some, I dragged Anna to a corner, looked around and there was no one, this is relieved.

Anna blinked, showed an inexplicable expression, and asked in a low voice, "Gao, you... What's wrong? ”

She spoke broken Chinese, her expression was very confused, and I was not dissatisfied that I almost choked her neck just now, I said apologetically: "Sorry, Anna, it was just a misunderstanding"

Then, I continued with a calm expression: "What happened just now, don't care, I just didn't mean to, you... Do you understand? ”

Anna frowned slightly, I have to say that this foreign girl is really cute sometimes, and then, she said:

"High, you said... I should... Can understand... Some, ok, but I think... Eavesdrop... Not a good thing."

When she spoke, she was very serious, in a more formal tone, I hurriedly nodded and apologized, at this time, especially for a foreigner, it was really difficult for me to explain anything, besides, even if I explained, she might not be able to understand.

In this way, I watched Anna turn and go away, and was about to go back and continue listening, but at that moment the door of their room opened, and the short man came out, looked left and right, and was about to go downstairs, when he saw me around the corner, and was stunned for a moment, and asked:

"Little brother, I didn't sleep either."

"Well, I can't sleep, come out for a walk."

"Me too, go down and buy a pack of cigarettes."

We didn't say much, and then I turned back to my room, and the night went by, and the next morning, XY called us all up, told us that the weather was good, and told the big guys to hurry up and get ready to go, and try to reach the supply point on the edge of the no-man's land when it was dark.

Fortunately, I have the habit of getting up early, and those students are screaming one by one, and they are all a little listless.

Soon, the equipment and materials were all packed, Li Ling wanted to hire a few trucks, pull people and camels and supplies to the place where the car could go, and then change camels, but the current conditions here, there are not a few trucks that can not be found at all, besides, the truck owners are more alive, and they are not willing to take us into the desert.

In the end, Li Ling spent a high price to find three trucks, two cars carrying camels, one car carrying people, very bumpy along the way, when they arrived at the supply point, it was almost dark, said to be a supply point, in fact, it was a relatively large hotel, after arriving at the place, the truck owners did not rest, directly turned around and walked back, may be waiting for them, more anxious.

The hotel is surprisingly expensive, and there are not many rooms, all of them are large, one for men and one for women, and when we had dinner in the evening, XY told us to eat more, and there may not be such good food for the next few days.

The owner of this shop is a middle-aged woman, very enthusiastic, and she also told us that just a few days ago, there was also a team into the no-man's land, Li Ling inquired more curiously, the proprietress told us that there were a total of thirteen people in that team, and there were a lot of equipment belts, they were sent by jeep, and the car was withdrawn after arriving at the place, that is, they went in on foot, and it didn't look like the dress of our expedition team, it may be some explorers or something.

Just as we were casually inquiring, the four explorers in the group began to bow their heads and ears, as if they were whispering something, I looked at them carefully, and the black sunglasses of the leader were a little bulging around his waist, I guessed that it might be a pistol, and they looked around in a low voice, I don't know why, it made my heart a little uneasy.

Li Ling sat next to me, probably seeing that I was a little absent-minded when I was eating, so he whispered to me and asked me what was wrong, I quietly pointed to the four of them with my finger, and didn't say anything, Li Ling smiled faintly and whispered to me:

"You may not always go out, people are outside, you don't necessarily meet bad people, with the four of them, we have a better chance of surviving in the wild."

I glanced at her in surprise, I guessed that the biggest reason for looking for these four people, perhaps, Li Ling regarded the four of them as security guards, but, having said that, I still feel a little uneasy, but I don't care so much, just be yourself.

Tomorrow is going to enter the no-man's land, those young men and girls are more excited, it seems that they haven't slept all night, and some of them get up in the middle of the night to chat, I don't feel anything, although I am also the first time to enter the desert, perhaps, life and death are downplayed.

The next day, as soon as the day dawned, we set off, this time I changed to a camel, I was riding a camel for the first time, at first I was a little unaccustomed, and then slowly it was better, others were the same as me, they were riding for the first time, at the beginning they were more excited, and later, as the time went on, riding a camel would be a little swaying, and the speed was not fast, and slowly got tired, many people began to get off the camel and walk.

Walking in the front is Li Ling, she and the guide Zai rode a camel side by side, talking from time to time, Li Ling has a map in his hand, I know, it is the information she gets, the map that is compiled, every once in a while will be handed to Zai to let him confirm the direction, according to Zai said, that place is about three days away from yesterday's supply point.

In the afternoon, some students shouted that they were tired, Li Ling asked everyone to rest in place, everyone began to drink water, eat and eat, and after resting for half an hour, they continued to set off.

He told us, "It's going to be very windy here at night, so we need to find a place to stay overnight, or the storm will come at any time."

I really don't know if his mouth has been opened, when the sky is dark, the wind begins to slowly get stronger, I asked him if the wind in the desert is so strong at night, XY's face changed a little, and told us that this is a sign that a black storm is coming, and I don't know if it will blow here, for the sake of safety, let's hurry up and speed up, this XY has usually been very calm, and often makes some jokes, at this time, when I heard him say it more seriously, his expression is also very solemn, and the big guy can't help but feel tight, Those students were no longer shouting about tiredness, and they all quickly sped up.

XY was indeed an experienced old guide, and when it was dark, he found a shelter, which was a place where a large number of stones had been piled up, and there was a not very large hole under the stones, and there was a smell of animal feces as soon as he entered, and it seemed that many animals had also rested here.

Although this hole is not very big, it is enough for more than 20 people to sit here, XY told us that it will be done tonight, otherwise once the black storm blows, everyone will be very dangerous, in the desert, if there is no shelter, it will be equivalent to death.

In the desert, we can only listen to him, we cleaned this place, lit the lamp, everyone found a place to sit down here, ready to eat something and rest, the place here is not very spacious, more than 20 people are also a little crowded together, but there is no way, the conditions are limited.

After eating biscuits and canned beef, I was also a little tired, at this time, a few girls said that it was convenient, but it was very windy outside, XY asked them to wait for a while, but, the girl's face began to turn a little red, and she was embarrassed to want to go out now, several older people probably guessed something, no way, XY had to let her hurry, and the other girls thought about it and simply went together.

"Brother Yun, have you been to the desert before?"

A skinny boy next to me asked me with a smile, I turned my head to look at him, I was not familiar with this boy, but I knew that his name was Liang Qiu, so I replied, "I'm here for the first time." ”

"I thought you'd been here before, but to be honest, the weather here is really dry and uncomfortable."

Just when the two of us had nothing to do with each other, Li Ling suddenly spoke

"Why haven't they come back yet, nothing will happen?"

XY was already about to fall asleep, and when he heard Li Ling's words, he quickly opened his eyes, glanced at the hole blocked by the windbreak, and said:

"No, the little animals in the desert will find a place to rest at night, there will be no danger, the wind is not very strong now, it shouldn't be able to blow them away."

XY's half-joking words made everyone laugh, but Li Ling was a little uneasy, stood up and was about to go out to have a look, at this time, a scream came, and we all stood up immediately, and the four explorers looked at each other and rushed out quickly.

The wind outside is really strong, and it is mixed with sand, blowing on the face is very uncomfortable, we turned on the flashlight, and saw a stone in the distance, several girls shouted something there, because the wind was too strong, I couldn't hear it at all, and I didn't know why these girls ran so far, about fifty or sixty meters away, we ran against the wind, and then we found that one of the chubby girls half of their bodies was actually stuck in the sand.

"It's quicksand, quick, pull her up!"

XY shouted, but the four explorers moved the fastest, one of the stronger men directly took out a mountaineering rope, and threw it down very quickly, the girl grabbed the rope in a hurry, and everyone began to pull her up.
