The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and half of the fresh water he had brought back from the holy well was now half consumed, and what made him even more confronted was that the spirit of his brothers when they set out had long been worn out by the harsh environment. One by one, their heads drooped, and they were panting. If there is any danger in the desert, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of the camel team will not even be half of what it used to be.

"Khasilla, how many days has it been?" Ma Chengfeng asked.

"It's the fourth day, and according to the footsteps, Xiao Man should come back the morning after tomorrow. You don't have to worry, we can save some water and drink enough! ”

"What if she doesn't come back the day after tomorrow? Do we have to withdraw? ”

"Theoretically, and we must now hope that Xiao Man has brought back a lot of fresh water." Khajura shook her head helplessly.

If she hadn't saved water these days and distributed fresh water to her brothers in proportion to their heads, I'm afraid that the water would have been drunk by now.

"We can't sit still, you want to think about it, see where else you can find water nearby? Even if it's far away, as long as I can get back in one night! Ma Chengfeng asked her while opening the map again and carefully looking for the distribution of water veins.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you, the holy well is the only water source nearby, and now the holy well has dried up, we can only try our luck, lucky, Xiao Man rushed back in time, bad luck, we have to withdraw!" Khajura is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, and even if she is a hydrologist, she cannot dig a well in this lifeless desert.

Ma Chengfeng sat there and smoked a stuffy cigarette, after thinking about it, he finally decided to wait for Xiao Man for another day, if she didn't come back before sunset tomorrow, the camel team would have to go back!

"Ma Chengfeng, this doesn't look like your character! Halfway? We are now only a day's walk from the Zagrama Mountains, and instead of going back, we should go to the Zagrama Mountains to find water, where the civilization founded by Queen Ameira, and I believe that there will definitely be groundwater flowing under the ancient city. Chu Tianyue persuaded him.

"You're right, I'm not the kind of person who gives up halfway, but now I'm not alone, I have to be responsible for all my brothers, I can't let everyone die for me! You also said that you can only try your luck, but what if there is no water? After such a long journey, we don't have a chance to go back again! Please don't mention your theory of killing horses and camels, you must know that in the eyes of the people of Mobei, camels are their gods! Before you can kill the camel, they will slaughter you first! Ma Chengfeng was unmoved, and said to her angrily.

This night, it was a lot of suffering for Ma Chengfeng, he was also thirsty, but he was reluctant to drink, the only remaining fresh water was very precious, and this water should be left for everyone to drink on the way back. It can't be consumed until the last resort.

Outside the ancient city, there was a deathly silence, and this night, it seemed that even the sand wind had stopped.

Ma Chengfeng was wrapped in a blanket, leaning against the ruins of the ancient city, in a vague consciousness that was half asleep and half awake, when he suddenly heard Alimu outside shouting loudly.

He hurriedly got up and went out to check, Alimu and his other brothers were standing in front of the ruins of the ancient city, and they had already raised their shotguns.

On the desert horizon at night, there are flickering red dots, which are desert wolves!

"Not good! These are the wolves of the desert north, and they must want to migrate through this desert to the south! Khasiura followed.

"Isn't that right? The brothers are thirsty, kill the wolves and drink the blood! Brothers! Load me with all the bullets! Ma Chengfeng stood at the front of the team, raised the seven-star blade in his hand and shouted.

The brothers saw the hope of survival, and each one saw a fire burning in their eyes, and their expressions of hunger and thirst were no less than those of hungry wolves.

The wolves on the horizon seemed to have spotted their prey as well, and instead of bypassing the ruins of the ancient city, they walked slowly towards this side. As the wolves slowly approached, Ma Chengfeng found that it was not as simple as he had predicted. Not good! The horizon was black, and the wolves couldn't count the trees.

The wolves in the desert have different habits from the wolves in the plains and woodlands, they used to be wanderers in the desert, and they were all lone wolves. They huddle together to keep each other warm and hunt together, and they have no leader, no wolf. They only have a thirst for their prey!

The wolves unfolded the fan-faced formation, and slowly outflanked the ruins of the ancient city, these guys are not easy to survive in the desert, most of them are hungry to the skin, some are blind in one eye, have a broken leg, it is rare to encounter so many prey in the desolate desert, and today is bound to die to have a full meal.

They grinned as they walked towards the ruins with heavy steps, and whining sounds.

"Good fellow...... That's more than 500 heads! Alimu, how many bullets did we bring with us before we came out? Is it enough? ”

Alimu asked the brothers to bring out all the weapons and ammunition, but this time they came to look for Zagrama Mountain, not to fight, and the ammunition is very heavy, and the carrying capacity of the camels is limited, so it is better to bring more water! Most of the ammunition was stockpiled at the supply camp. The original plan was good, even if there was any danger, you could send a car over there through the radio, but now the radio is useless at all.

Even if all the ammunition is exhausted, a bullet kills a wolf, and the bullet is not missing, it is estimated that it is enough to choke!

The men in the desert are rough by nature, these people used to be horse bandits, and they are naturally used to seeing life and death, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth. But they have their beliefs, and the Mobei people have a sense of awe for wolves! Feel like they're the most fearsome hunters in the world! Therefore, it is better to let them face the desert wolf against the head, it is better to let them fight with people, at the very least, they will not be afraid in the face of a person with two arms in the head!

"Cheng Feng, the situation is not good! Too much! Khajura said with a frown.

"I know, but we're surrounded now, either kill them all, or they'll eat us!"

"Confused! Isn't that tantamount to pushing your brothers into the fire pit? How can you fight without bullets? Chu Tianyue reprimanded him and said.

"So what do you say? Where are you going to let us go? Ma Chengfeng shouted.

"You see, the wolves are outflanking from all sides, don't you notice that there is an opening in the northwest direction?"

"Northwest?" Ma Chengfeng fixed his eyes and saw that it was exactly as she said.

"No! Cheng Feng, don't listen to her, the northwest is Zagrama Mountain! Even if we fight with the wolves, we can't break into it! You'll have to wait until you have enough supplies to keep going! "Khashura disagreed with Chu Tianyue's method.
