"Why?" Jenny immediately asked.

Mai Lao said earnestly, "This is not going to the sea, nor is it in the ice city, you have also seen, this is all desert, the road is quite difficult, I don't know how far to go, and with such heavy equipment on your back, I am afraid that you will not be able to hold on." ”

"Mai Lao, you don't have to worry about this, since we can come, we must be prepared for the worst, no matter how difficult the road is, we can survive." Li Xin has already dressed everything, her long hair has been coiled, and her clothes are the same as ours, looking like a tomboy.

"Li Xin is right, what's the big deal, where you can go, the two of us can go too." The same goes for Jenny, these two people are still so stubborn.

Mai Lao pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to stay, the boat is safer, I'm also for your good, loyalty, let's go." ”

"Wait a minute, Mai Lao, I have to go with you on this trip, this is the last stop, I will never stay, and I am your captain, I have the right to do so." Jenny said very persistently, and even moved out the identity of the captain, usually she listened to Mai Lao's words, but this time she actually used the captain's identity to pressure him, it seems that she no longer trusts Mai Lao.

As soon as Mai Lao was about to speak, Li Xin immediately grabbed it and said, "You don't need to say more, it's all come to this point, how can the two of us not go, the secret of this nautical chart is about to be solved, and we have no reason to miss this last step." ”

Mai Lao glanced at me, meaning to let me persuade them, but I knew very well in my heart that they had already decided, even if you spit and said dry, they would not stay, Jiao Ba interjected at this time and smiled, "I said, you two have to think clearly, this way is very sinful, if you don't do it, you will die." ”

Jenny snorted coldly, "Nonsense, do you still need to say this, we have come all the way, and we have long been used to not being dead." ”

"Jiao Ba, you can save some effort, we have already decided." Li Xin said with a cold face.

I walked over and whispered, "Mai Lao, just let them go, they've come all the way, and it's not bad for this last stop, if you force them to stay, how can they be willing?" Why don't you come with us? ”

Mai Lao looked at me, and finally sighed and said, "Okay then, but I want to warn you two that it's really dangerous, don't blame me for not leaving you behind." ”

"Don't worry, Mai Lao, we have a way to deal with it." Jenny said with a smile.

We put down the two lifeboats, went down to the lifeboat, and then rowed all the way to the shore, after getting off the boat, I found that it was very hot here, at least hotter than I imagined, the sun above my head I couldn't open my eyes, it stands to reason that such a big sun, it should be a cloudless sunny day, but the sky is full of white clouds, the whole sky is full of white clouds, only the place where the sun is not blocked by white clouds, this is really a strange place.

"Fuck, why is this place so hot?" When the big man gets off the boat, the first thing he says is to shout heat.

Steamed bun beside him said, "Is it hot?" Why can't I feel it at all? It's not hot at all. ”

A few of us looked at each other, I thought to myself, it would be strange if you could feel the heat, Jiao Ba whistled and said, "yes, I don't feel very hot either, the weather here is still very moderate, we have been in the ice city for too long, I like this warm feeling very much." ”

"Warm? Mr. Jiao Ba is really joking, you won't feel warm for a while, walking in the desert under the scorching sun is equivalent to killing yourself. Martin said, looking at him.

Jiao Ba sneered, "Then you know that you are killing yourself, why are you still here?" Just go back. ”

"If you weren't looking for treasure, you think I'd risk coming to this place?" Martin said lukewarmly.

"Okay, let's say a few words, save some energy, let's go."

Mai Lao greeted, and our group stepped on the desert and walked forward, along the way, no one of us spoke, this is to conserve physical strength, if you talk too much, you will be thirsty, our water source is limited, everyone's kettle, only enough for a few days, but once the physical exertion is excessive, it is not necessarily.

For an hour or so, we couldn't see the boat, the desert was very hot, I felt that the soles of my shoes were about to be burned, and the soles of my feet were very hot, and it was only an hour, and there were already people sweating profusely, and the further I went, the higher and higher the temperature I felt, and the sun hit my face, and I felt hot and painful.

In our group of people, only steamed buns are the most relaxed, he is a living dead, he doesn't feel tired and hot at all, he keeps talking all the way, he doesn't drink a drop of water, he has been in the most mental state, but his skin is more pale in the sun, exactly the same as a dead man, and it looks weird and scary.

Jenny and Li Xin also showed that they were tired, and I turned around and asked, "How are you two?" If it doesn't work, just stop and take a break. ”

Li Xin shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can hold on, but I didn't expect it to be so hot here." ”

"The desert is like that, it can roast people to death." Jenny took out the jug and took a sip, her lips were slightly chapped, this is not a good sign, it has only been an hour, the fatigue is so obvious, and if we continue like this, before we can find our destination, we will have to die of sunburn first.

Two hours later, Mai Lao stopped, put down his backpack, and took out the communication equipment from it, "Lao Wu Lao Wu, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it." "The device squeaks, but I can't hear anyone reply.

"Lao Wu, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it." Mai Lao tried to shout again.

The big man said dejectedly, "It's over, we've lost contact with the ship again, and this damn place seems to be disturbed again." ”

As soon as he spoke, "Lao Wu received it, Mai Lao I heard it, please say anything you need." ”

Mai Lao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's nothing, we've walked a distance, give it a try, we have to keep in touch, everything is okay on the ship?" ”

"Rest assured, everything is safe, and I will wait for you to come back safely." Lao Wu said.

"Okay, done." Mai Lao put away the communication equipment, got up and said, "I don't know how far I have to go in this damn place, and there is no accurate direction for this, but it's really difficult for us." ”

The big man wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Old Mai, let's take a rest, it's been two hours, I'm too tired." ”

"What a waste, why are you so busy? I don't feel it at all. Mantou glanced at him and scolded.

"Damn, who the can compare to you, you're a non-human." The big man was in a hurry and said that he was pouting.

Mantou suddenly lost control of his emotions, "Silly big man, what the fuck are you talking about?" What am I? ”

The big man knew that he was talking nonsense, and said hesitantly, "I'm just joking, why are you so serious." ”

"Jokes? You know I've been a little weird lately, and you're still saying this, is this a joke? The steamed bun roared at the big man.

Mai Lao hurriedly came to persuade him, "Okay, don't make any noise, let's save some energy, take a rest, and we will have to hurry in a while." ”

Only then did the steamed bun calm down, and I looked around and said, "There is not even a shade here, and if we are exposed to the sun like this, we will have to fall into a coma in less than an hour." "At a glance, there is not even a big tree in this ghost place, it is desolate, nothing grows, even in the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, it is not so desolate, there is no life here, it is simply purgatory on earth.

Martin then put down his backpack and said, "We carried a tent with us, less than that, and put the tent on." ”

In about ten minutes, a few of us set up the tent, but it was just a temporary simple tent, which could block the sun, and in this hot weather, if you were stuffed in the tent, it was basically the same as being in a steamer, which was more uncomfortable than a sauna, and it would make you drenched in a few minutes.

A group of us sat in the tent, still feeling hot, the sun was very hot, my neck was red from the sun, and even began to break the skin, it was so itchy and unbearable, I kept scratching the back of my neck, this feeling was like ants crawling on it, it was really too sinful.

There are so many of us crammed into the tent, although the sun is blocked, but still not feel cool, no wind, no rain, like this kind of dry desert, there must not be a rain for several years, this last stop, it is more difficult than I imagined, I really don't know if I can make it to the end.

We took out the food and water we carried with us, and simply ate something, the two-hour journey consumed a lot of our physical strength, in this environment, it is not normal to walk in the desert under the scorching sun for more than two hours, if there is no strong physique, the average person is unbearable.

Those of us who have experienced the trials of life and death, have learned all difficulties, and now we are not tired, but we have to stop in order to adjust our physical condition, because no one knows how long the road ahead is.

"Zhongyi, what's wrong with you?" Li Xin saw that something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

"My neck itches terribly, this sun is too poisonous." I rubbed my hand around my neck and said casually.

Li Xin glanced at it and said, "It seems that you are allergic to ultraviolet rays, I'll give you some medicine." ”

She casually took out a small box from her backpack, which contained a white solid ointment, which looked like sunscreen or something, but in this kind of ghost place, sunscreen didn't play any role at all, but after this ointment was applied, there would be a refreshing feeling, at least much stronger than just now.

"Fuck, this damn place, there's not even a little wind, it's really fatal." Jiao Ba drank water and cursed in a low voice.

"Yes, it's unimaginable that there is such a mysterious island in this vast sea." Martin said casually as he ate the compressed dry food.
