Chapter 009: The Sahara Desert

The reason why Haoyi was given up by the core high-level of the military department was actually because of the first space hybrid fleet. When Rui Youling and other old foxes in the military department learned the news that the First Fleet was surrounded, they had already decided to temporarily make a "superficial compromise" to the Fifth Theater in order to do their best to keep the main fleet of the First Theater. Therefore, in order not to provoke Auston too much, Rui Youling and other high-level officials had to make the decision to suspend the use of Haoyi and the major media of the federation to carry out public opinion offensives against the Fifth War Zone, and even they were prepared behind their backs to hand over Hao Yi and others when they were secretly negotiating with the Fifth War Zone, hoping to exchange for Auston's "understanding".

After listening to the confidential information provided by Borg, Art couldn't help but gasp. Although he was also one of the senior officers in the military department, and he knew that the top brass often made the cold decision to lose the car and protect the commander, he was still a little surprised by the news. Jihua, who used Haoyi and the major media of the federation to carry out a public opinion offensive against the Fifth War Zone, was carefully planned by Yate himself, and was once highly appreciated by Rui Youling and other high-level officials. At present, these old foxes actually made the decision to suspend Jihua without knowing it, in addition to feeling a little surprised, Yate felt a bone-chilling wind inexplicably blowing in his heart.

"Lore, I won't see anyone in half an hour!" After thinking about it, Yate decided to test Rui Youling's tone in person, so he casually clicked on the communicator on the desktop, gave an order to his adjutant, and turned around and walked to the secret room in the office that was used to communicate with the top level of the military department.

In northern Africa, there is the Sahara Desert, which is known as the largest desert in the whole world, with an area of about 9 million square kilometers, accounting for a quarter of the total area of Africa. Its extreme geological environment and climate have made it the second largest wilderness on the planet after Antarctica, and except for a few heat-tolerant animals, there is hardly any place in the desert where people are inhabited.

At this time, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the temperature in the desert at noon had reached a temperature of 50 degrees that was almost unbearable for humans. Somewhere deep in the desert, the air that was already about to burn suddenly appeared a strange fluctuation, followed by a flash of light that could almost compete with the light of the sun overhead, and two figures appeared out of thin air and smashed down from mid-air.

"Whew, your uncle's old bastard Kara, my son's waist is broken!" The smashed sand and dust dispersed, and Hao Yi, who was wearing the uniform of a federal captain in a large sand pit, raised his head with bared teeth, spat out the sand in his mouth, and cursed loudly: "You old immortal, you didn't even say hello, so you threw Young Master Ben out." Hey, what the fuck is this place? ”

Hao Yi shook his head and crawled out of the humanoid sand pit, looked up and looked around, and couldn't help but stare at both eyes. Because of the unique climate of the Eder planet where Hao Yi was born, there is no desert Gobi on the entire planet, so Hao Yi has never seen such a vast and boundless desert.

"Oh yes, it can't be the legendary desert, right?" After a long time, Hao Yi woke up from the shock, and remembered that the scene in front of him seemed to be very similar to what the middle school geography teacher had said about the desert. Although this guy was a complete "bad student" in middle school, his memory is far better than that of ordinary people. He vaguely remembered that in a geography class, he slept in a daze, and heard the geography teacher introduce this unique terrain.

Just as Haoyi was looking at the spectacular and unique desert scenery in front of him with some dumbfounded, a woman's scream suddenly sounded in his ears. The audio-visual confirmation neurons in the brain told Haoyi that it was the voice of the beautiful war correspondent Xia Li.

"Charlie?" Haoyi hurriedly followed the reputation, only to find that about ten meters away from his feet, there was also a shallow pit, and there seemed to be a gray figure squirming in the pit, and his heart jumped and he hurriedly ran over with a deep foot and a shallow foot. When he first came to the desert for the first time in his life, he was still a little uncomfortable with the soft sand under his feet, and he ran staggeringly, like a clumsy skinny penguin.

"Hey, how are you, beauty?" Finally ran to the sand pit, Haoyi helped Xia Li up in a hurry, carefully patted the sand off her body for her, and asked with concern. He clearly remembered that before he was thrown out by the old immortal Kara, he had lost contact with Xia Li, and now that he saw this beautiful woman who was in the same "tribulation" as him, Haoyi was naturally a little happy in his heart.

"Where is this? You are? Captain Haoyi? Xia Li opened her tired eyes, looked around, and then fixed her gaze on Hao Yi's face, and asked in surprise.

"Uh, beauty, you can't be stupid, right? Don't even know me anymore? Hao Yi muttered depressedly, and then looked at the scene again, frowning: "I don't know what the hell I was thrown into by that damn old grandson Kara!" Uh, it can't be the planet he said the star spirits live on, right? ”

"What Kara? Star Spirit? Xia Li didn't actually know Hao Yi because she was dizzy from being fallen, but Hao Yi's face was covered with fine yellow sand at this time, and the officer's hat was gone, and it seemed that her temperament was a little different, so she was so surprised. And when she heard Hao Yi subconsciously mention words such as Kara and Star Spirit, her brain, which had not fully woken up, shook slightly, and then remembered something and said, "Kara? Is it the mysterious building we entered, the Kara of the Cara Temple? ”

"Well, that's right, it's supposed to be the old immortal! That old bastard claims to be the god of the stars! Hao Yi nodded and explained: "As for what star spirits, I don't know what those things are, I guess they may be the title of an alien!" ”

"Aliens? No, Captain, I'm a little confused by you! Xia Li suddenly felt that her head was a little insufficient, and asked in surprise, "Isn't the entrance of that mysterious temple written "Kara Temple" in our human script?" Why did you pull out the aliens again? ”

"Well, this mess is a long story! Let's figure out first, where exactly are we now? How to go back is the most important thing! Haoyi raised his head and put his hand on the pergola, looked at the dazzling fireball in the sky, and grinned and scolded: "Ya, why is the sun in this hellish place so poisonous?" Lao Tzu has only been standing for a while, how can he feel that he is about to be roasted and peeled! ”

"It's like a big desert!" Xia Li straightened the hair on her forehead, looked at the scene again with her eyebrows, and muttered: "Oh no, it seems that the scale of this desert is not small, we are afraid that we will be trapped here!" ”

"Stuck here? How is that possible? So far, there hasn't been a Longtan Tiger's Den that can trap Young Master Ben! Although Xia Li confirmed her suspicions, Haoyi was still a little unimpressed by her worries.

"The area of a large desert like this is usually as little as a few thousand square kilometers, or as many as tens of thousands or even millions of square kilometers, and the climate of such a desert is harsh, almost all of them are uninhabited Jedi, and it is difficult to find food and water!" Xia Li explained with a wry smile, "If we are lucky enough to be able to appear on the edge of the desert, then maybe there is still some life. If we are unfortunate enough to be left in the middle of the desert, we will die of thirst and starvation before we can get out! ”

"I'm X, so what?" After listening to Xia Li's explanation, Haoyi's jaw fell to the ground, and he looked back at the desert horizon in surprise, swallowed his saliva and said, "We shouldn't really be so unlucky, right?" ”

"Hard to say!" Xia Li shook her head and said worriedly, "However, if we are lucky enough to find an oasis in the desert, then the chances of survival may be a little greater!" ”

"Odds of surviving?" Listening to Xia Li's somewhat pessimistic words, Haoyi was even more surprised, "Hey beauty, isn't it?" According to you, we are thrown in this place, which is equivalent to nine deaths? ”

"How can I go!" Xia Li nodded and said seriously, "When I was a child, I heard my father mention such desert terrain. He said that if you are trapped in a slightly larger desert, it will be very difficult to get out. Such a desert has a harsh climate with a huge temperature difference, which can roast people dry during the day and freeze people into popsicles at night. In addition, because the terrain is uniform, it is easy to get lost in the desert. There is a very popular saying for such a situation, which is called "ghost circle"! ”

"Ghost in circles?" Hao Yi stared at his small eyes in surprise.

"Yes, ghost in circles! It seems to say that those who die in the desert, in order to find a substitute so that they can enter reincarnation, will blind the people who have strayed into the desert and take them around in endless circles in the desert until they are tired, thirsty and starving! Xia Li continued, "My father's archaeological team was once lost in a large desert on the planet Kru in the Poole Star Sector. At that time, my father and his family were already in a desperate situation, and they were sleepy and short of food and water, and they were almost about to collapse. Thankfully, at that time, they met a local caravan passing through the desert, and they were lucky to be saved! ”

"Caravans? Is there a caravan in this place? So why don't they get lost in the desert? Haoyi asked incredulously.

"There are some exotic animals in the desert, such as camels that live in the Gobi region of the desert of the earth, which can not only survive in the desert, but also do not lose their way like humans. Those caravans use these desert animals to guide them or carry their goods! Xia Li explained.

"Oh my boy, so what are we waiting for? Hurry up and find such an animal! Hearing that there was still hope of escaping from this ghost place, Haoyi said to Xia Li impatiently, and before Xia Li could react, he turned around and ran away to find those so-called desert animals. As soon as he ran away two steps, the thing ran back again and asked, "Beauty, what do those camel guys look like?" ”

"I've only heard my father mention it, but I've never seen it at all!" Xia Li explained with a wry smile: "But it seems that it was introduced in middle school geography class, but unfortunately I didn't like geography class at that time, and I don't remember the appearance of those animals for a long time!" ”

"Uh, what then?" Haoyi suddenly asked in disappointment as if he had been thrown from heaven to hell. Seeing that Xia Li also shook her head helplessly, Haoyi pursed her lips depressedly, her small eyes rolled around, and then she waved her hand and said loudly: "Forget it, beauty, let's go!" Lao Tzu still doesn't believe that Young Master Ben will be trapped and die in this hellish place! ”

Before Haoyi's words landed, a faint tremor suddenly sounded on the ground, and at the same time, a series of deafening explosions rushed into the ears of the two of them.
