As soon as they saw that such a large excavation equipment had disappeared out of thin air, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei glanced at each other, and both of them were stunned on the spot. Can you not be surprised? It was a large tracked excavation machine, and when the equipment was transported, it was assembled after it was carried by several large trailers.

"I'm a good girl, such a big excavator was blown away by the wind!" Yang Lei said in surprise.

"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible to be blown away by the wind. Chen Ziyang said with certainty.

According to Chen Ziyang's estimates, after this kind of large equipment is assembled together, the total weight is not 1ooo tons, but there are hundreds of tons, and it is impossible to be blown away by the wind so easily, not to mention that the truck that is much lighter than this excavation equipment is still parked in the desert.

Just as the two of them were talking, the two of them walked to the edge of the deep pit dug by the excavator, and looked down, and the two of them figured out the reason. It turned out that the excavation equipment was not blown away by the wind, but rolled into the excavated pit.

At the bottom of the pit dug by the excavation equipment, there were many attachments of the excavation equipment, and it appeared that the excavator broke and broke into several parts when it rolled down from the top of the pit. The sand that fell when the equipment slid down buried the equipment, and only a small part of the parts were exposed to the sand.

Looking around at the whole picture of this deep pit, Chen Ziyang understood the reason. Before, because there was no progress in the excavation work, Instructor Liu was a little anxious, so he ordered someone to speed up the progress of the excavation, but this caused a very fatal problem, that is, the angle of the excavation surface of the excavated pit was not enough.

The surface sand in the desert is very soft and very dry, even if the sand is tens of meters below, when excavating, in order to prevent the sand from falling off the excavation surface, the entire excavation surface must be extended downward at a relatively small angle.

However, in order to speed up the excavation, it is also likely that under the persecution and abuse of Instructor Liu, these people operating the excavator did not dig the excavation face at a sufficient angle in order to save time during the later excavation, and the slope of the excavation surface was too steep.

Coupled with the previous strong wind, the sand under the excavator finally could not bear the weight of the excavator and collapsed in a large area. The excavator then fell into the deep pit that had been dug. Chen Ziyang estimated that Instructor Liu would regret his haste when he saw this result.

However, fortunately, the sand at the bottom of the pit is relatively soft, and the excavator is slipping down, so it is estimated that the excavator has no major damage. But it's not easy to get this behemoth up.

There are two cranes in the fleet, but these two cranes are not too big, and the sand around the pit is relatively soft, which cannot withstand too much pressure, and there is no suitable slope, so the weight of the objects lifted by these cranes at one time cannot be too large.

Instructor Liu has already arranged for people to lift the excavator next to the big pit. Chen Ziyang, who was standing on the sidelines, heard that their general plan was to send people to the bottom of the big pit, disassemble the excavator into parts, and then lift the various parts of the excavator one by one, and then assemble them again.

Although this plan is the most suitable for the current situation, in this way, this excavator will not be able to get out without three or five days of work. Just when the people around the pit were busy and began to prepare for the rescue work of the excavator, suddenly someone shouted loudly again from the direction of the camp behind everyone.

And this person's shouting was obviously mixed with an impatient mood, although he was far away, he still couldn't hear what this person was shouting, but Chen Ziyang heard that this person was really shouting desperately, so that he only shouted two sentences, and his voice became hoarse.

Instructor Liu hurriedly explained a few words to the people around him, asking them to rescue the excavator according to the plan, and then he walked in the direction of the person who shouted and jumped and waved. Yang Lei, who was not afraid of big things when he saw the chaos, also hurriedly helped Chen Ziyang, followed behind Instructor Liu, and walked in the direction of the camp.

Because Chen Ziyang's movement was not very convenient, when Yang Lei helped him to the circular camp surrounded by vehicles, Instructor Liu had already arrived there early and was scolding at several people in front of him. Yang Lei and Chen Ziyang stood not far away and listened for a while, and then they knew the reason. There was not a drop of water left in the three water storage trucks in the camp!

Hearing the news, the two of them glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this is terrible, there are so many people in the entire convoy, and all the water for everyone's life and the cooling water of the equipment are all used in the water from these three water storage trucks. Although the water in the three vehicles is not too much, it is enough for the entire fleet to last for a month without fresh water.

It's only been a few days since the convoy arrived, and only a fraction of the water in the three cars has been used. But now that there is not a drop of water left, it is no wonder that Instructor Liu is so angry.

The most fearful thing in the desert is that there is no water, so Instructor Liu and the others carried these three water storage trucks. Before entering the desert, the canisters of the three cars were filled with clean water. So although they are in the desert, the quality of life of the people in the convoy is not bad, and everyone can get a kettle of water every day, which can be poured on a towel to wipe their faces in addition to drinking.

But now that the water has disappeared out of thin air, even Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, who feel that they have little to do with this matter, have realized the seriousness of the problem.

After listening for a while, the two of them realized the reason. Because he knew the preciousness of this water, Instructor Liu specially arranged for a few people to guard the three water storage trucks day and night, just because he was afraid that there would be any problems.

However, when the wind and sand blew before, all the guards went into the carriage to take shelter from the wind. The three water storage trucks were left unattended for most of the day. It was during this time that someone deliberately opened the drain pipes of three cars, allowing the water to flow into the yellow sand in vain.

After scolding for a few minutes, Instructor Liu turned his gaze sharply to Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei. In the entire convoy, only the two of them were outsiders, and Instructor Liu couldn't help but suspect it.

After staring at a pair of big eyes and approaching, Instructor Liu immediately pressed Yang Lei to the ground, pinched his neck with one hand, and at the same time took out a dagger from his body, which was across Yang Lei's erect neck, and yelled at him: "Say, did you do it?" Why are you doing this? ”

Instructor Liu did not suspect Chen Ziyang, because if the drainage valve of the water storage truck wanted to be opened, it would take a lot of strength, and the state of Chen Ziyang's left arm was there, and it was impossible for him to turn the valve on the drainage outlet, so the first target of Instructor Liu's suspicion was Yang Lei.

"Let him go! We didn't do it at all, and it didn't do us any good. If you don't get the treasure, we won't be able to survive, so there's no way we're going to disrupt your operations. If you don't let him go, we'll break up, and I will never help you open the treasure again, and it's a big deal to exchange the treasure with you with two lives. ”

Hearing from his tone, Chen Ziyang's attitude was very serious, Instructor Liu gritted his teeth and pushed Yang Lei away, got up and came to Chen Ziyang, and stretched out four fingers to him. "Mr. Chen, there are still four days left." After saying these words viciously, Instructor Liu turned around and left.

After pulling up Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang helped him pat the sand on his body, Yang Lei coughed while holding his neck, it seemed that he was pinched by Instructor Liu just now.

"This turtle grandson, ahem...... His grandmother's, wait for me. Chen Ziyang helped Yang Lei pat his back so that Yang Lei's cough could be relieved, and at this time, Chen Ziyang, who was looking at Yang Lei's back, suddenly remembered what Yang Lei had said to him before, so he quickly pulled Yang Lei back to the carriage of the two people.

"Think about it, who is that familiar back you just said?" Chen Ziyang asked in a low voice.

"Huh? It's all this time, what else do you care about...... Oh......" Yang Lei showed a suddenly realized expression, and he understood what Chen Ziyang meant.

"You mean ......"

After ......making a silent gesture, Chen Ziyang walked to the rear of the carriage, lifted a gap in the canvas, and looked out carefully. Now the people in the entire camp were busy, and there were no other people around the carriage of the two people, so Chen Ziyang buckled the canvas and returned to Yang Lei's side.

"Remember? Who's it for, exactly? ”

"If I could remember, I told you just now, I really can't remember. Are you saying someone came to our rescue? So they deliberately put the water out of the can? ”

"There's this possibility. Cutting off the water was the deadliest of all, and Yoshioka and Instructor Liu brought a lot of people, but in the desert, it was also very deadly, because they needed more water.

If it was really Umbrella Stone Shuai who was looking for someone to save us, they would definitely act very quickly, so that means that the number of people they raised would not be very large. If this is really the case, they showed our traces and found this place, but because there were many people on Instructor Liu's side, they had no chance to start, so they took advantage of the wind and sand to release the water in the water storage truck, and waited until this team was self-defeating and came to rescue us. ”

"What you said does make sense, but didn't you say before that it was very difficult for them to find us, and even if they did, where could they hide in this unobstructed desert?"

"I don't know why, or if that's the case, but it's the only plausible explanation, or if there's something else we don't know. Forget it, don't think about it yet, there are too many things to worry about right now, let's concentrate on studying the treasure.

After these two things, if there is no progress in the matter of opening the treasure, the two of us may really lose our lives, and Instructor Liu will definitely sprinkle all his anger on the two of us. ”

As soon as Chen Ziyang's words fell, the canvas of the carriage where the two people were was was slammed open, and then three or four people got into the carriage. Before Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei could understand what was going on, the kettle in the carriage of the two people was snatched away by these people.

"Damn, careless! It's too careless! Why didn't I remember that we should drink the water from the kettle as soon as we got back. Yang Lei patted his thigh and said regretfully.

Instructor Liu ordered people to collect all the water of the entire convoy together. But even so, all the drinking water now can only fill a bathtub, after all, it is already afternoon, and everyone has drunk almost the water from the previous day.

Fortunately, the water that was prepared for dinner in the picnic cart was not used, and all the water added together could be used for three days by the entire convoy if the rationing system was strictly enforced.

In order to make up for the adverse effects caused by this incident and at the same time save the morale of the army, Instructor Liu specially convened a meeting with everyone. At the meeting, Instructor Liu told everyone to rest assured that three water replenishment trucks had gone out to the nearest water source to replenish water.

Because this is not the center of the desert, three days is enough time for the convoy to go back and forth. And in order to ensure that the water can be safely transported back in the shortest possible time, the supply convoy was led by Yoshioka himself.

At the same time, Instructor Liu also announced the water rationing system in the past few days, and hoped that everyone would be patient in the past few days. Although Instructor Liu's arrangement is more reasonable, a trace of gloom still permeates the hearts of everyone in the team.

The excavation and rescue of the excavator also stopped. When this large excavation equipment is activated, it is necessary to add clean water to the coolant in a certain proportion. Now every drop of water is so precious that it is not enough to drink, and it is impossible for the machine to waste it anymore.

If the excavation work is still forcibly carried out at this time, Instructor Liu will be angry. So although Instructor Liu was very anxious about the excavation, he could only stop the excavation work.

In order to avoid wasting their physical strength, almost all of them hid in the shade every day and waited quietly for the arrival of three days later.

Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, who are half prisoners, are even more pitiful, the others can each get a glass of water every day, while the two of them can only get a glass of water every day. Yang Lei didn't even smoke anymore, his throat would be dry after smoking, and he wanted to drink water even more.

In the past three days, Chen Ziyang was still studying the matter of opening the treasure. But even though he put all his mind on it, there was still no progress.

Soon, three days passed, but there was no news from the rehydration convoy.
