Chapter 625: Helpless
"But we can't just sit here because of the uncertainty of this issue, right?" Lao Tie argues with reason.
After listening to the argument between the two of them, the others were also embarrassed for a while, if there was really a sandstorm later, it would indeed be very dangerous to stay here, but Lao Tie didn't know where to find a shelter from the wind around here, just running around like this was not a thing, and Professor Zhang Qichen's body was not suitable for continuing to run around.
"Don't fight, let's continue to look ahead, if we can't find a safe place to shelter from the wind, then we can only shelter from the wind and sand on the spot." Zhang Qichen, who had recovered a little bit of physical strength, synthesized the opinions of the two of them and said the final word.
As soon as Zhang Qichen said this, Xu Weidong stopped arguing with Lao Tie, and Lao Tie wanted to say a few more words, but his mouth opened and closed a few times, but he didn't say anything.
Since Zhang Qichen, the head of the regiment, had already spoken, and the others had nothing to say, everyone began to act, some began to pack up and prepare to go, and some went over to help Lao Tie and inspect and reinforce the materials tied to the camel's back.
A few minutes later, the members of the delegation, tired or not, climbed on their camels again and continued to run.
Because he knew that Zhang Qichen and Li Yujuan in the team were a little exhausted, Lao Tie also specially controlled the speed of advancement, compared to the wild run just now, the speed of the whole team is now much slower.
The wind was still blowing, and the expedition was still advancing, and nearly an hour had passed, but there was still no trace of the shelter that everyone was looking forward to.
This gust of wind rolled up the yellow sand in the sky, so that their vision was also affected to a certain extent, and everyone looked around, but around here, except for the undulating sand dunes, there was nothing else that could withstand the wind and sand, so they were destined to be disappointed.
At this time, the sky has darkened significantly, and the horizon in the distance has turned dark yellow, and the oncoming wind has also strengthened a lot.
Lao Tie's eyes were already showing horror, the ideal shelter he was looking for had not been found until now, and this celestial phenomenon in front of him was obviously a sign that a huge sandstorm was coming.
"Lao Tie, it seems that the sandstorm is coming, time is running out, let's stop moving forward and take shelter from the wind and sand." Wu Ze saw that this situation was not right, he urged the camel and ran to the front to discuss with Lao Tie.
"Well...... "Even Lao Tie, who has a very stubborn temper, can only bow his head in front of reality now, and he knows that if he doesn't take some precautions at this time, he will really be drowned by the wind and sand."
Of course, he also knew that in this case, the means they could choose to prevent the wind were very limited, and whether the effect was good or not could only depend on the will of God, if this storm was a huge sandstorm as he expected, then the situation of their expedition was very dangerous.
Lao Tie gave a loud whistle, and then he took the camel team to the windward side of a sand dune, and asked everyone to get off the camels and stay together, and then Lao Tie took all the camels over, let their heads face inward, and surrounded everyone in a circle, he wanted to use this conventional method to avoid this wind and sand.
This method is very useful in the face of ordinary wind and sand, but Lao Tie is a little uncertain now, because it will depend on the size of the sandstorm they are going to face, and he can only resign himself to fate now.
After Lao Tie settled all these camels, the sky instantly darkened a lot, and the wind blowing from a distance became stronger and stronger, and more and more yellow sand was swept up by the wind.
Seeing this, everyone in the delegation began to worry in their hearts, and in this situation, everyone was helpless, and they could only pray secretly for this coming sandstorm not to be too big.
The yellow sand mixed with the strong wind hit everyone one after another, and the camels in the surrounding circle had already buried their heads in the sand, quietly helping the people of the expedition group to resist part of the wind and sand.
It didn't take long for a lot of yellow sand to pile up next to these camels, and the people in the camel pen also covered themselves with a thick layer of yellow sand.
Wu Ze looked worriedly at the yellow sand that fell on everyone, if it went on like this, it wouldn't be long before they would be buried in the desert by this yellow sand.
But he doesn't have any good way now, and in this harsh environment, he can't show any skills to the sky, can he just watch his people being drowned in this yellow sand? Wu Ze is also at a loss now.
Suddenly, Jiang Yan tugged on Wu Ze's arm vigorously, and then pointed into the distance, wanting Wu Ze to look over there.
Wu Ze looked in the direction pointed by Jiang Yan's hand, and saw that in the distance, there were several blurred yellow figures running in their direction.
In this great desert full of yellow sand, the visibility was too low, and even with goggles on, Wu Ze couldn't see clearly what was running towards them in the distance.
At this time, the other people in the inspection group also noticed these yellow figures moving towards them at high speed, and suddenly everyone temporarily forgot about the danger they were in, and fixed their eyes on those yellow figures.
These figures of yellow sand were running fast, and in just a few moments, their full appearance appeared in front of everyone.
"Camels? These are wild camels! Jiang Yan shouted.
"Oh my God, five wild camels, are these wild camels the ones we saw two days ago?" Luo Fatzi also exclaimed.
In front of them, there were five wild camels, one big and one small, and looking at their figures, it was obvious that they were the five night camels they had met in front of them two days ago.
At the moment of seeing these wild camels, others were just shocked and amazed, but in Lao Tie's eyes, two rays of hope had already radiated.
At this moment, Lao Tie seemed to be like a drowning man seeing a lifebuoy floating on the water, and his eyes, which were already a little desperate, were now full of joy of escaping death.
He waved his hands excitedly at the wild camels, and then whistled vigorously, ignoring the yellow sand, and the camels that had buried their heads in the sand all raised their heads at this moment, and then began to stand up.
Everyone in the delegation looked at the camels at a loss, and they couldn't understand why they suddenly stood up.
