Episode 1082: Extreme Weather

Frightened, she fell onto the sand and slowly slid down.

"Huh? Isn't it hurting? Ma Chengfeng squatted down and asked her with a mocking expression.

"Humph! I still can't escape your tracking! I didn't expect this endless desert to be quite suitable for you to survive, what a poisonous scorpion! Chu Tianyue said with a cold face.

"Eldest sister, you have figured it out, it was you who betrayed us, you stole out, and now I saved you, but you say I am a poisonous scorpion? Who is poisonous? The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart! Ma Chengfeng pulled her up from the ground and said.

"Ma Chengfeng, you can't hear the words, are you? Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a legendary hero in the Taklamakan who hijacked wealthy merchants in the desert and distributed gold and silver to poor ethnic minority villagers. Later, it got a nickname, the desert scorpion! Meaning, the prey he takes on will never survive! ”

"Oh...... Such a poisonous scorpion method? Well, I love the nickname. It wasn't until later that Ma Chengfeng dominated Mobei and still used this nickname in this desolate desert. There are fewer Han people here, and everyone knows that the real leader in the desert is a Han young man, but they don't know that his real name is Ma Chengfeng, and he has always called him "Desert Scorpion".

The desert scorpion has a prominent reputation and has also done a lot of big deals. So much so that he became an internationally wanted criminal. The first two letters in the English language of the scorpion are "DS".

"I said Sister Chu, should you have a lot to say to me now? Need to explain anything? ”

"Explain? Do I need to explain it to you? We move mountains and people to do things only for ourselves, and if we want to kill, we must listen to it. Chu Tianyue tilted her head and walked back behind him.

She knew that she had no chance of winning in the face of Ma Chengfeng, so she simply stopped resisting.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to restrict your personal freedom along the way!"

The corpse on the sand dunes was an Englishman, Chu Tianyue didn't want to explain, and Ma Chengfeng didn't bother to ask again. However, the lack of a trace of Wells along the way has always made him uneasy, and an international thief like him is likely to be hidden in the shadows all the time, and if he is given a chance, he will be killed.

He took Chu Tianyue to meet Chang Xiaoman and Kashula, and returned to the camp along the underground passage.

"Oh, hungry, aren't you? Fill your stomach first, and then we will interrogate. Ma Chengfeng threw her a loaf of bread and said.

"I know what you're asking. Are you wondering about the British? ”

"Tell me, what about Wells?"

"He went looking for his gold coin, but when he found it, it was also the moment of his life."

"What do you mean? Something wrong with those gold coins? ”

Chu Tianyue told him that the feathered monster they had released under the Sacred Well of Qiuzi Wulei a few days ago was Queen Ameira's guardian, and now that he had flown back to Zagrama Mountain, no living creature could get close to that evil sand mountain.

"I admire you too, it's a shame, aren't they your companions? Can even a companion be betrayed? It seems that I have to re-evaluate the character of your mountain movers. ”

Everyone got in touch with the direction of the base camp again, and Hua Bule saw on the radar that the oasis that Ma Chengfeng and they found just now was not recorded. In addition, they were instructed that it was best to leave some of their brothers in the current area to serve as a temporary supply depot. Because the quicksand area is too dense for vehicles to pass through, supplies can only be transported here.

Ma Chengfeng opened the map and looked at it, and found that they were still about 100 kilometers away from Zagrama Mountain, and at such a distance, I am afraid that they would have to walk all day to reach it by camel. It is necessary to carry a large amount of baggage in order to proceed.

The caravan had to be stationed here for the time being, waiting for supplies from the direction of the base camp.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, a truck drove over from the base camp, followed by a second and a third. So much supplies are enough for them to eat and drink for a week.

Ma Chengfeng left eight brothers here to guard, took half of the baggage, and set out on the journey again.

It's already the third day, and in a few days, the temperature in the desert has risen a few degrees, and I thought that I could see Zagrama Mountain after walking for a day and a night, but the actual situation is not as expected. Although they had an abundant supply of fresh water, as long as it was past ten o'clock in the morning, it was almost impossible to move an inch in the desert, and the scorching sand burned their feet. Forced marching can only make it difficult for everyone, and they may even suffer from a terrible disease that can only breed in the desert, "heat plague".

Everyone had to adjust their biological clocks and choose to travel after sunset. But this created a new problem, the area was often met with quicksand pits, and the vision was blocked at night, and four or five brothers were almost swallowed up by the quicksand on the first night, and even the camels could not recognize the quicksand.

Moreover, the closer you get to the direction of Mount Zagrama, the less clear the radio becomes. As soon as it was opened, there was a screeching sound, not to mention the base camp, and it couldn't be connected to the temporarily stored baggage points.

The desolate desert shows its ruthlessness. Looking at the desert, there is no life in a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and there is a lifeless scene everywhere.

"Ouch...... No, it's hot, Xiao Man, how much water do we have? Let's give everyone a point! Ma Chengfeng's head was sweating profusely.

But today they had to choose to hurry in the morning, because there was an ancient city ruins more than ten kilometers to the northwest, and they had to get there before eleven o'clock in the morning to rest.

"It's not much, you drink it first, we're not thirsty!" They said so, but Xiao Man and Khajura still swallowed their saliva.

Ma Chengfeng took the last water bag and thought for a long time. "Forget it, divide it among the brothers, one person can moisten the throat with one mouthful. I'm fine, I can hold on a little longer. ”

He turned back and shouted at Alimu, "Big man, how long will it take for the brother who went back to fetch water to catch up?" ”

Alimu said that he had tried to contact them by radio just now, but the radio was now completely useless and could not be contacted at all.

"I rub, this is something I didn't realize before I left. No, we've already come here, we can't turn back, let's work hard, rush to the ancient city in front of us and then rest! ”

Being in the desert doesn't mean you think you can go far with plenty of fresh water. In the desert, the climate is dry and hot, and fresh water in water bladders will evaporate when exposed to the sun outside. Moreover, people walking through the desert in such a harsh natural environment consume almost more fresh water than you can imagine, and can catch up with four times the usual water consumption. Don't look at the amount of water you drink, but at the end of the day, you can urinate up to two times. What about water? It's all sweating.
