Chapter 8: Moving Dunes

"Oh my god, what the hell is going on in the middle of the day?!" Mr. Liao shouted violently.

The other people's faces were not very good, although they also knew that there were often sand dunes moving in the desert, but they were not aware of what was happening under their noses, and the speed was unexpected.

Wang Shaoyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued; "No wonder we can't find the sand depression that the gringo said, it turns out that this place moves!"

"What do we do now?" Mr. Liao asked anxiously again.

"It's okay, let's get out of this desert first." Wang Shaoyi said and pointed to the mountain range over there and said, "Have you seen the foothills over there, fortunately, this desert is not very big, let's retreat to that side first and then think about it in the long run." ”

As soon as Wang Shaoyi spoke, everyone's hearts suddenly felt a lot more steady, and the group walked in the direction he pointed out before, the desert here is very small, and there will be no illusion of "mirage" at all, and it didn't take long for them to reach the foot of the mountain smoothly. Finding a shady place, the group took a short rest, took out the kettle and drank some water.

Wang Shaoyi followed up and analyzed: "Although the desert in front of me is very strange, I can't even tell how it is formed, and even the sand dunes here will move in a very strange way. But this is a dead thing after all, as long as we observe for a while, we will definitely find clues! ”

Wang Mengmeng continued: "Then we are now? ”

"Wait." Wang Shaoyi only said one sentence and didn't say anything more.

The top of their heads was still scorching, and there was no trace of wind in the sultry heat, and they couldn't stop dripping sweat on their foreheads after only staying for a while. It was difficult to suffer this crime just after recovering from a coma, but in order to find Wu Liancheng and Shen Wuzhi, this was nothing at all.

Wang Shaoyi looked at the desert in front of him motionlessly, most of the time had passed, but the desert in front of him still had no movement at all, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that they had a delusion?

"Shaoyi, could it be that the temperature inside is too high, we just saw it wrong?" Mr. Liao felt tired after watching it for a while, moved his fat body, leaned against the mountain wall and wiped his sweat and said.

Wang Mengmeng's lips were also a little pale at this time, and she looked a little struggling.

Zhao Jie stepped forward and said, "Shaoyi, will you encounter the same situation as the tomb before?" What we saw at first was just an illusion? ”

Wang Shaoyi shook his head, and Zhao Jie saw that he didn't speak, so he had to retreat stupidly after waiting for a while.

At this moment, another gust of mountain wind blew suddenly, and although the temperature was very high, the air movement still made everyone feel a sense of relaxation in their bodies and minds.

"Look!" Wang Shaoyi suddenly shouted. Everyone behind him was shocked when they heard this, and they all looked up at the sand dunes.

At first glance, they were all shocked and couldn't close their mouths, if it was only a little surprise for them before, then the scene in front of them made them dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

As far as their eyes could see, all the visible sand was moving in a very strange way, not like the rolling of ordinary sand dunes, nor like the surging of water waves, but in a way that moved one after another, if I had to use one word to describe it, it was "wriggling", yes, it was like the wriggling of a bug, and the whole desert looked like a huge knotworm shrinking and wriggling in place.

Everyone was a little stunned, no wonder they couldn't feel it inside, it turned out that the whole desert was moving.

Time passed minute by minute in this environment, and everyone just held their breath and stared at it stupidly.

Suddenly, the scene in front of me stopped very abruptly. It's as if someone forced the switch to be pressed.

Everyone was stunned again.

"Shaoyi?" Mr. Liao asked weakly, and pulled the corner of his clothes as he spoke. His clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and his sturdy body stood out from under the navy blue clothes.

"It's okay, you guys will rest for a while, and I'll take a look." Wang Shaoyi said without looking back. Hearing what he said, the others stepped aside for a moment and stopped talking. However, Wang Mengmeng was a little unbearable, so Mr. Liao and Zhao Jie took out tools from their backpacks and began to set up a tent, and when the tent was set up, they let Wang Mengmeng go in to rest first.

Wang Shaoyi still watched intently, and took out the watch from his arms and started the timer. Time passed quietly for nearly two hours, and then the whole desert began to "squirm" again, this time much slower than before, and then stopped after a while.

For a while, the yellow sand was as calm as ever, and Mr. Liao and Zhao Jie were a little sleepy one after another, and both of them sat on the edge of the tent.

Only Wang Shaoyi was still watching, and the time had come to noon.

"Shaoyi, let's eat some first." Wang Mengmeng didn't know when she had come out of the tent, holding two pieces of bread and a bottle of mineral water in her hands. Her face was still a little pale, and it was not easy to fall asleep in this hot oven-like environment.

Wang Shaoyi turned his head at this time, and when he saw the haggard look on Wang Mengmeng's face, he suddenly felt a little unbearable and self-blame, he should have left Wang Mengmeng in the hospital before, and he had been immersed in the movement of the sand dunes just now, and he didn't care about Wang Mengmeng's weak body at all. He said with a deep apology: "Mengmeng, are you okay?" ”

"Ahem." Wang Mengmeng suddenly covered her mouth and coughed dryly for a while, and then paused for a while before continuing, "I'm fine, just rest, finding a way to find Lian Cheng and Wuzhi is the most important thing." As he spoke, he handed over the food and water in his hand.

Wang Shaoyi was also unbearable, but there was no other way at the moment, he reached out to take the thing, and told her to rest again, but turned around and stared at the strange desert in front of him.

That's how time passes. Before you know it, it's night.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, reaching thirty or forty degrees during the day and reaching more than ten degrees below zero at night. originally thought that Wang Shaoyi would always go to sleep at night, but he still stood in place, and no one could persuade him. Thinking that there was very little vegetation nearby, and the trunks that could be burned could not be found, he had no choice but to find clothes to cover him, but Mr. Liao and Zhao Jie were two people on duty in turn.

Because the temperature at night was really low, they spent most of their time pacing in place, and Wang Shaoyi didn't say anything with his eyes closed, so he didn't know if he was asleep or thinking about something.

The night passed in silence.

The morning of the desert comes earlier than anywhere, a hill after a hill of desert is like a mirror, before you see the end of the day, there is already a light reflected, the kind of red, and a little yellow of the light color, giving people a very special feeling, faintly revealing a mysterious ancient atmosphere.

Zhao Jie and Mr. Liao were both leaning outside the tent, snoring softly, and had already fallen asleep one after another.

Wang Shaoyi still maintained the posture of looking ahead, his eyelids were already covered with a thick layer of yellow sand, when the first arc of light in the morning was reflected, his eyelids shook a few times, then he raised his head and touched his eyelids, and slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as his eyes opened, he was startled, and then he ran into the desert, his shoes making a "swish" sound when he stepped on the sand.

Zhao Jie and Mr. Liao were immediately awakened by the sound, and as soon as they opened their eyes, they saw Wang Shaoyi running towards Shao Touch, and the two of them looked at each other, and they were all shocked.
