Fortunately, when we set off, in addition to one camel per person, we also brought two more to carry various reserves. We streamlined the contents of one of the camels and shared some more with each of us so that it could be ridden by Dawut.

However, Dawut's camels had a lot of food and water in addition to Dawut's own. This time it was all swallowed up by quicksand, which made us feel a sense of urgency. We had to make plans for how much food and water we would use in the future.

As we continued along the road, the wind gradually became much lighter. We found a sheltered place and prepared to take a break.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and everyone is a little tired from persevering until now. Dawut set up the tent, and we decided to leave one person on guard while the others took turns to go in and rest.

I have to say that Brother Tao is really like a big brother, always willing to take care of us, this time there is also Brother Tao standing on the first shift, and the others go into the tent to rest.

It was a really dark night's sleep, and when I woke up, the sky outside was starting to shine. I don't know how long I slept, but I quickly got up and went outside the tent to take over. The person who saw him on guard was Kong Xue.

Kong Xue saw me come out and smiled at me, "Wake up?" ”

"yes," I nodded, "go and sleep a little longer, I'll keep an eye on it!" ”

"No, I can't sleep! Besides, I've just gotten up. I just replaced Wenmo and let him go to rest. ”

I nodded, "Wenmo is really, it's not dawn yet, let a girl keep an eye on it by yourself, in case something happens, how unsafe!" ”

Kong Xue smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm also the role of an alarm, what's the matter, as soon as I shout, you guys won't all come out!" ”

Kong Xue and I sat on the ground and looked at the undulating sand dunes in the distance, which looked quiet and solemn in the somewhat dim sky before dawn, and the dark gray sand dunes reflected in the light gray canopy, with a silent beauty.

After a while, the pale cyan mist had inadvertently dispersed from the sky to the sea of sand. There seemed to be a pale red split between the heavens and the earth, and as this pale red gradually deepened, it was finally plated with a layer of orange, and in an instant golden light shot towards the earth.

The golden sunlight once again dyed the endless sea of sand yellow, not only the grains of sand, but also those of us sitting on the grains of sand. A touch of golden light sprinkled on Kong Xue's face, Kong Xue looked at the direction of the rising sun, and smiled slightly, "It's so beautiful!" ”

yes, it's really beautiful!

And just as the sand dunes were reprogrammed yellow and everything became clear, we suddenly saw a figure on a sand dune far ahead!

I thought my glasses were being pierced by the sun's rays, so I rubbed them and looked again, only to see that there was indeed a figure there. I turned my head to look at Kong Xue, and from the look in her eyes, I was even more convinced of what I was seeing.

I stood up all of a sudden, because the first thought that came to my mind at this time was, could it be the second uncle!

As soon as my brain was hot, I hurriedly went to pull the camel next to me, Kong Xue grabbed me, "Zhuoran, where are you going?" ”

I took the reins of the camel, "I'm going to go over and see, maybe that person is my second uncle!" ”

Kong Xue shook her head firmly, "No, it's too risky, there may be quicksand in this place, once you fall into it, you won't have time to save you, and you can't be sure that it is your second uncle, or it may be someone from the Tang family, maybe, maybe it's not a person at all!" ”

Kong Xue's words made me slightly stunned, and I slowly calmed down, "But I can't just watch here and do nothing!" ”

My conversation with Kong Xue woke up the people in the tent, and several people came out, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

I stretched out my hand to the sand dunes in the distance, where the black figure still stood. Wen Mo frowned slightly when he saw it, Shi Tao thought for a while, "Since we have found out, we have to figure it out, let's go, pack up our things, let's go over and have a look!" ”

We packed our gear and rode our camels in that direction. We weren't moving slowly, because we were afraid that the figure on the sand dunes, or something resembling a figure, would disappear.

The reason why I call it a human-like figure is because I always think that his posture is a little strange, and its proportions are really out of proportion in human terms.

To our relief, the figure just stood there straight, motionless. I don't know why I got closer and closer to that black shadow, but my heart became more and more worried.

It didn't seem like a long distance, and we also walked for a long time. We didn't realize it from a distance, but when we really came to the bottom of this sand dune, we really realized how huge this sand dune is, which can't be called a sand dune at all, it's just a sand mountain!

In order to save the camel's physical strength and to be safer, we decided to climb up on foot. We brought our gear and left the rest on the camels.

Climbing the sand mountain, it is really much more difficult than imagined, the feet will sink into the sand, this step will consume a lot of physical strength, plus the hands have no place to borrow strength, the bare sand mountain, there is not even a grass. Whenever we encounter a slightly steeper slope, we have to use all fours and climb up in one breath, otherwise it will be difficult to go up again if we stop halfway.

It took a lot of effort for us to climb to the top of the sand mountain. As soon as I climbed up, I didn't bother to look at the dark shadow, and I fell to the ground, gasping for air.

Everyone else is similar to me, only Wenmo seems to be better, even Dawut was surprised by Wenmo's physical strength, and said to me softly: "Your friend, is he often a professional athlete, how can he have such good strength!" ”

I gasped and said, "He? He's so much better than an athlete! ”

"Oh?" When Dawut heard my words, he was even more surprised, "Is it ......?"

I waved my hand, "Uncle Dawut, don't guess, I don't even know what he's doing!" ”

After taking a little breath, we turned our eyes to the location of the black shadow, and at this look, we immediately froze, this black shadow turned out to be a charred corpse!

The corpse was charred all over, and the expression of death was terrifying, and it was obvious that the man had been burned alive. His clothes and belongings were burned with the corpse, and from this aspect, it was impossible to identify him.

The tragic death of this person made Kong Xue just look at it and ran away.

Shi Tao took out the dagger and rummaged through the pockets of the corpse, most of the things were burned to ashes, and there was a metal lighter, the contents of which were vaguely recognizable. I can probably see a few words missing: Tom's Group Annual Meeting Commemorative Meeting!

This person turned out to be from the Tang family! We were bittersweetly waffled with this information. Thankfully, we are now completely sure that our route is no problem, and we are lucky enough to be able to find it with half of the route information!

The worry is that we are not far from the Tang family now, and once we encounter it, we will definitely not be able to get any benefits!

But these are all afterwords for the time being, looking at the dead body in front of us at this moment, our hearts are full of questions, why is this person being burned here? Did he make some unforgivable mistake?

But at this time, it is not scientific to burn him, I guess that this team of the Tang family will definitely have guns. Then it is probably much more convenient and simple to kill him with a gun, or even stabbed to death with a knife, than to burn him with fire!

The corpse looked at us with a hideous face, which really made us shudder.

I suddenly had an idea, "There must be a lot of people from the Tang family this time, but why did this person have an accident!" ”

"No, it's not just this one!" Wen Mo's cold voice came, and as he spoke, he pointed to the other side of the sand mountain, and we looked in the direction he pointed, and were horrified to find that there were about a dozen corpses scattered on the sand slope, all of them were charred and fell to the ground, and it looked like they should have been dead for a while, and the corpses were covered with a layer of sand, no wonder we didn't notice it at first.

But when we look at it this way, we find a problem, all the other corpses are lying on the ground, but the one in front of us is standing on the ground.

But when we dug up the sand under his feet and took a look, we realized that this person was clearly planted here. In other words, this person was deliberately erected here after death, because this corpse was charred and stiff, no different from a dead tree trunk, so it was not difficult to plant it in the sand.

But who is it that keeps the corpse here? And what is his purpose in doing this?

Wen Mo opened his mouth and said: "There must be a reason for this corpse to be placed like this, generally speaking, there are two possibilities, one is the road sign guidance, and the other is the danger warning. ”

I asked, "What kind of thing does this belong to?" ”

Wen Mo shook his head and stepped aside, "I can't say this yet, we don't have more information yet"

As we were talking, Shi Tao suddenly snorted, and we followed the sound and saw Shi Tao pinching the dead corpse's mouth with his hand. I was taken aback by his sudden move! I wanted to stop it, but the next scene surprised me, he actually took something out of the mouth of the dead corpse!

It looks like a piece of paper, but it's a bit weird!
