Chapter 241: The Gobi Hidden Crisis
Someone in the crowd recognized the huge rats. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
"It's a long-clawed gerbil, but it's so big! Mutated gerbils for sure. The man who recognized the gerbils said.
Hearing this, the Adepts began to use their abilities to expel and attack these huge giant rats.
Fortunately, there were not many of them, and there were also some mutant gerbils who saw their companions fall and fled in all directions.
The people, who were already thirsty, became even more parched after this fight.
"Let's go first! We may not be able to reach the Al base tonight, and we have to find a place to stay on the way, and the night in the Gobi is very cold. Tsering Deng Zhu said with experience.
Everyone nodded, everyone knows that the temperature difference between day and night in places like the Gobi and the desert is particularly large, and they may be exposed to the sun during the day until they peel off, but they may not feel hot when they wear down jackets at night.
So everyone didn't say much, and then took out the water bottle and drank a small sip of water to moisten the dry and bitter mouth, and then got back on the road.
And the people of the four-leaf clover team were much more comfortable, because they couldn't take out more water, so Su Man added two drops of mountain spring water to the water of everyone in the team, so even a small sip was more thirst-quenching than ordinary water.
Even so, everyone's lips were slightly dry and flaky.
Originally, they could still move forward briskly, but they could only move step by step to the back, and the team walked slower and slower.
Some of them were already starting to show heavy fatigue, and the previously neat line was now widening farther and farther apart, and everyone had to stop to rest.
I happened to find a big rock in front of me, and everyone found a backlit direction and sat down, and it was much cooler without direct sunlight here.
Some people who were already sweating profusely were lying directly on the ground. There is no sunlight here, so the ground is very cold.
However, the people of the Clover Squad are much better than the others in terms of physical strength and thirst. Not so tired, so I just found a rock and sat down.
While resting, the men lying on the ground seemed to be asleep. They all fell silent.
Su Man looked around, and it seemed that everything was quiet and there was no problem.
Rested for a while. Su Man felt that he had almost recovered, after all, it was safer to rush to the Al base early, especially if he couldn't catch up tonight, and he had to find a suitable place to stay.
Looking up at Tsering Deng Zhu and Qi Shuai, the two of them seemed to have this plan. Seeing Su Man looking over, both of them nodded at Su Man, and each began to call the members of their respective teams to get up and move on.
It's just that Tsering Deng Zhu and Qi Shuai found out. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" A few people lying on the ground couldn't wake up no matter how they shouted. I shouted and pushed, but I didn't wake up.
He poked his hand over, only to find that the men were no longer breathing.
Everyone was shocked, this person who had nothing to do just now died in a blink of an eye, what was the reason?
"Is it caused by lying on the cool ground after being too hot, and suddenly the heart contracts when it is cold and hot?" Said a man who seemed to understand.
"No matter what the reason, you can't leave their bodies here, let's take them away and bury them!" Tsering Deng Zhu said.
He was about to bury the dead people in a distance, so someone was ready to lift them. Suddenly there was an exclamation.
The people who carried the people kept patting their bodies, and when they looked closely, they found that there were some ants on their bodies, and the ants had left bite marks wherever they crawled. A trail of blood oozed out.
Looking at the dead people who fell to the ground, a corpse was turned over, and the back was crawling with dense ants, Su Man squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that those ants were actually zombie ants.
These zombie ants seem to be very smart, none of them crawled to the front, all of them clinged to their backs and gnawed, and a few of them had penetrated the heart and blood vessels, but because the bite marks were very small, they were biting and sucking, so there was not a lot of blood coming out.
Although these ants are small, their lethality is not weak, especially this swarm of zombie ants, whose attack power is not inferior to that of a super large zombie beast.
"Yu'er, Lu Wei, quickly set fire to those corpses, don't be bitten by those ants, those are zombie ants." Su Man hurriedly told everyone about his discovery.
Xuan Yu'er and Lu Wei did not hesitate, and hurriedly set fire to the corpses that were crawling with zombie ants, and the fire-based abilities in the teams of Qi Shuai and Tsering Deng Zhu also attacked the zombie ants, and walked outside the shade covered by the boulder while attacking.
And those few people who were climbed on the zombie ants because of moving people, there was one person who was the first to carry those corpses and was the first to be bitten by zombie ants, and he was powerless at this time.
And the rest of the people have already cleaned up the zombie ants on their bodies with the help of their teammates, but two of them are not superpowers, so everyone doesn't know if they will become zombies in the future, and the people of their team temporarily tied their hands first.
Everyone was in a cold sweat, and this seemingly calm Gobi was actually not calm at all.
That's a lot of time.
Leaving this shady place, everyone didn't dare to sit on the ground casually anymore, and would rather move their steps slowly when they were tired than stay a little longer.
Seeing the sun gradually set, it was hard to find a piece of several stone mountains connected together, although there is still some sunshine, but the sun will not be exposed to it after a while.
And with the experience just now, it is still more solid here than on the ground, so everyone decided to stay on this stone mountain for the night.
The sun finally set, and the Gobi under the starlight was not as dark as imagined, but the cold also came with the sun going down.
Su Man asked the team to gather together, lit a fire in a recess of the not too big stone mountain, and everyone sat around and squeezed each other to make this cold night in the Gobi Desert warmer.
The team decided to take turns on duty so that everyone could sleep a little longer.
Over there, Qi Shuai and Tsering Deng Zhu also arranged for their subordinates to take turns on duty at night.
The two ordinary people who were bitten were still tied, but there seemed to be no sign of turning into zombies, but they didn't dare to be careless, so Qi Shuai and Tsering Deng Zhu each sent someone to guard them.
Everyone in the four-leaf clover team decided that the girls would start to be on duty at the front, after all, they could sleep peacefully after that, so the order of the platoon was the first shift from Xuan Yu'er, who loved to sleep, and then changed to Zuo Ning, Wang Ran and Su Man, and the last few men took turns on duty.
After deciding, except for Xuan Yu'er, the rest of the people will rest first, and then go down in order.
Originally, everyone asked Su Man not to get up and watch the night so that she could have a good rest, but Su Man felt that she was not seriously injured, so she still insisted on being on duty all night.
Everyone lay down to sleep, and the three squads were on duty in turn, and before it was Su Man's turn to be on duty, they heard a scream.
Most of the people were alert, so they got up as soon as they heard the screams.
Su Man also got up and found that Wang Ran was on duty now, and hurriedly asked, "Ran Ran, what's wrong?" How do you hear the screams. β
Wang Ran seemed to be very indifferent: "It's nothing, there is a person in that Wusi team who concealed the situation of being bitten, and he suddenly turned into a zombie just now, and he has been killed at this time, I will definitely call you if there is something wrong, sister, you can sleep for a while!" I've only been on duty for a while. β
"Forget it, you sleep! I can't sleep well when I wake up. Su Man said to Wang Ran.
"Alright then, I'll go to sleep first." Wang Ran nodded and found Zhong Tao, sat down next to him and closed his eyes.
Su Man looked at Tsering Dengzhu's Usi team, which seemed to have been dealt with, lowered his head and picked up some wooden branches from his feet and filled them into the fire, looking at the sky with his hands on his cheeks.
After a while, a person walked behind him, and then sat down beside Su Man.
"Why did you get up so early? I've just been on duty, and it's not my turn to call you yet. Su Man said to the people around him.
"You've slept for a while, so why don't you go and rest first?" The man said.
Su Man shook his head: "I don't feel sleepy for the time being." β
"Let's talk for a while!"
Su Man nodded.
The one who woke up was Lu Wei, who was going to pick up Su Man's class.
"This crash is weird." Lu Wei said.
"Well, I don't know what the reason is this time, I have talked to the co-pilot before, and he also thinks that this crash is very weird, and the plane can't even find the cause of the failure." Su Man replied softly.
"I really hope to get to the Al base tomorrow." Lu Wei raised his head and said.
"I've actually been thinking about it since just now, why did this al base lose contact, and the doctor we were going to rescue, I heard that he had a miniature satellite phone with him when he left, but then he couldn't get in touch."
"Could it be that the miniature satellite phone was discovered, and the Al base put the doctor under house arrest?" Lu Wei guessed.
"Who knows, I'll go over tonight." After speaking, Su Man stretched.
"You are so energetic, you should be on duty for a while longer! I'm going to sleep. β
"Well, go ahead." Lu Wei smiled.
Su Man waved at Lu Wei, walked to the stone on the side, found a place to nest and closed his eyes.
Lu Wei looked at Su Man, who was curled up and sleeping, and his face was soft under the firelight.
From night to dawn, except for a small episode of the member of the Uss team who turned into a zombie last night, the night was relatively smooth.
When they got up early in the morning, everyone took out something to eat from their backpacks, and after padding their stomachs, everyone decided to continue on their way.
After descending the stone mountain, everyone first moved their bodies, which were a little frozen due to the cold last night, and then continued to move in the direction of the Al base.
The co-pilot checked the direction and determined the direction before continuing to walk.
I walked for a while, and I took a break in between, when everyone was tired and ready to take a break.
In the distance, the co-pilot who led the way pointed to the periphery of the base that he could see faintly in the distance and said, "Look, everyone, the Al base has arrived." β
