Chapter 45: Sandstorm

Sun Yan climbed into the small tent, the temperature around him had dropped to 5°C, he arched himself vigorously, wrapped the blanket around his body, and fell asleep uneasily.

In the middle of the night, he could wake up three or four times, the first two times were frozen awake, and then Xiao Wang actually squeezed into his tent, shivering from the cold, shivering beside him, and came to grab the blanket on him. Sun Yan scolded him in a daze, evened the blanket a little to him, and fell asleep again.

Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn outside, Sun Yan immediately opened his eyes, he got up and pushed Xiao Wang, this push didn't matter, and found that it was Xiao Da Lip lying next to him.

Xiao Da Lip woke up after being pushed by Sun Yan, and muttered unhappily at the moment: "What are you doing?!" It's too early! ”

Sun Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "When did you come back?" ”

"Two o'clock in the middle of the night." Xiao snatched the whole blanket and wrapped himself in a ball.

Sun Yan got out of the tent and found that the Land Cruiser had returned, and Batur was sleeping soundly in the car. There was a bonfire on the ground that had not yet been burned, and next to it was a pile of dead branches cut into small pieces.

At this moment, Qi Dongrui and Xiao Wang also came out of the tent, and when they saw the cruiser parked next to Suzuki, they were stunned at the same time, and they both turned their heads to look at Sun Yan in surprise.

Sun Yan shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly.

"When did they come back?! Why didn't I hear any movement? Xiao Wang asked in surprise.

"Two o'clock last night." Sun Yan replied, "It's really fucking able to toss, and I'm worried about it." ”

Now that I'm back, I don't have to go looking for it. The three of them took out the food from the car and prepared to bury the pot to make food, but they didn't eat well when they made such a fuss last night, and the three of them are now hungry.

After putting an iron pot on the bonfire and throwing ten packets of instant noodles into the pot, Sun Yan buried five meat naan in the sand, and after ten minutes, when he took it out, the naan was already roasted through, and the aroma was attractive.

When the meal was ready, Xiao Dalip and Batur came out of the tent and car like hungry wolves smelling the fragrance, shouting for food.

Five people have a big bowl in their hands, sitting around the pot to sandwich noodles, a full pot of noodles almost overflowed, looking at people appetite, but this noodles are really badly cooked, each noodle is almost twice as thick as usual, and there is no soup in the pot at all, the noodles will be broken as soon as they are clamped, and the five people have not picked up much for a long time.

Xiao Da Lip was so hungry that his intestines screamed, and he was anxious, and when he asked, this was Qi Dongrui's debut. Knowing that this young master had never done this kind of thing, and it was not good to complain about anything, he simply thought of a direct way, took the bowl and reached directly into the pot to scoop it, this method was dirty, but there were no other ideas, and others had to do it.

When he was eating hotly, Sun Yan asked Batur about the situation last night, why he came back so late, and whether he was lost.

Batur shook his head, saying that he remembered the road clearly, but he had encountered a sandstorm on his way back.

It turned out that when the two of them drove south for 40 minutes last night, they found a small ancient burial complex, which was located on the edge of a dry riverbed, and the river seemed to have been dry for a long time, and it was overgrown with shrubs and reeds. On both sides of the riverbed there is high ground, and on the high ground there are rows of dead poplar trees.

I didn't expect it to be so easy to find, the two of them were very happy, and immediately got out of the car and took out tools to cut down trees, but before they could cut down a few, suddenly the sky in the west changed greatly, and Batur couldn't see it well, so he immediately beckoned Xiao Da Li to carry the firewood to the car and go home.

On the way back, the car didn't go far, suddenly a gust of wind swept through, the yellow sand paved all over the sky, large and small stones hit the body crackling, and after a while, the road in front of me was filled with rolling yellow sand.

Sandstorm! Batur screamed badly, but he didn't expect to encounter the most terrifying weather in the desert not long after he came out! And it's getting darker, and if you get lost in a sandstorm, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At first, the visibility outside the window was still about 50 meters, and the car was able to barely slow down, but it didn't take long for the wind to increase, and the strong sand and dust outside the window and the surging black, almost made the visibility zero, Batur turned on the fog lights, reduced the speed to the minimum, and drove a distance against the wind, but in the end the car was shaken, knowing that it would be bad to drive again, Batur simply stopped the car.

The gust of wind blew for three hours, during which the sandstorm was sometimes large and sometimes small, and when the wind was fierce, the rocks that blew over the car made the car slam and thump, and there was almost a danger of overturning. GPS navigation is also good to die, but it is broken at this time, and there is no signal in the mobile phone at all. The two stayed in the car in horror, but it was like a long night for three hours, and every second they were worried about whether the car would suddenly fly up, and whether the flying stones outside the window would suddenly smash through the window and fly in.

Three hours later, the car was back on the road, and although the roadside had been completely remodeled after the sandstorm, Batur was a desert veteran after all, and with his experience and accurate visual observation, he still found his way back.

"However, fortunately, the area around the ancient tombs is still the Gobi Desert, and there is not a lot of yellow sand scraped over, otherwise we would be in danger of being buried directly by the yellow sand." Batur sighed with palpitations.

"Lao Ba, I was saved by you again, I thought I would never come back, it was so dark, the road surface was changed again, it was rare that you could find your way back." Xiao said with a big lip and patted Batur's shoulder.

"That's because we're only on the edge of Lop Nur now, and I've been walking back and forth a lot in this area. But if we go a little further and encounter such a big storm, we will definitely die! Batur said.

"Anyway, you are also our moving living map, and it is a blessing in misfortune that you are not dead now." Sun Yan sighed.

"That's it, Lao Ba is our living treasure, it's more effective than that GPS, that thing broke down at a critical moment, it's really unreliable!" Xiao said with a big lip.

After breakfast, several people quickly put away their tents and went on the road as soon as the temperature was not too high. Before leaving, everyone drank water once until they couldn't drink it anymore.

Xiao kept yelling about neck pain when he drank water, and asked him what was wrong, and he said that he slept last night and fell into a stiff neck. And my head is still dizzy all the time, and I see things doublely.

Everyone didn't take it seriously when they heard it, just because he was guilty of cervical spondylosis. But when this guy got into the car, he didn't step up, and the whole person fell backwards with a bang, lying on his back on the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Wang hurriedly went to help him, only to see Xiao's big lips and blue face, and his face was covered with beads of sweat.

"What's wrong with you? Can stiff neck hurt so much? Xiao Wang asked curiously.

"It's fucking weird!" Xiao sat up and touched the back of his neck, "Why do I still have two big bumps on my stiff neck, Xiao Wang, help me see what's going on?" ”

Xiao Wang opened his clothes, Sun Yan and Qi Dongrui also came over, and saw that there were two pimples as big as pebbles on the back of Xiao's big lips and neck, and there were two small holes in the middle of the pimples, which was disgusting.

Xiao Wang said casually: "Are you bitten by the poisonous mosquitoes in Lop Nur when you sleep at night?" ”

"Huh? Biting such a big pimple? Xiao said and touched it with his hand, and when he touched the two small holes, he directly buttoned his nails inside, and pulled out blood.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Yan opened his hand and called Batur to come over and take a look at him.

Batur was packing up the poplar wood, and when he heard the shouting, he walked over and took a look, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
