Chapter 143: The Gobi Line
Huo Chi said without hesitation: "It's good to go to the Gobi, just be careful." "Since Su Qingqing is going to take the Gobi line, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Hearing this, Fu Ze nodded and said, "I also agree with the Gobi Line, then let's go to the quartermaster department to change some water now, and then set off." β
The Snow Leopards then walked towards the Quartermaster's Office, and not far behind them, a group of White Eagle Expedition men who had been facing away from them turned around, and one of them was the tattooed man who had fought with Huo Chi in Bar Street in T City.
He watched the snow leopards disappear at the corner of the stairs, and touched his ribs, the ribs that were broken by that kid were still aching, "Hmph, they said they were going to go to Yaxin by the Gobi line." β
Another said, "Then should we go and see the excitement?"
The tattooed man said: "That's natural, the Gobi line, but it's notoriously dangerous." β
In order to successfully cross from the Gobi, Huo Chi and the others exchanged several boxes of drinking water from the United Military Headquarters, but fortunately now with Yuanbing 008, these heavy water can be put in the car.
Xiao Jian and Qin Lang sorted out the supplies, covered the military canvas in the body of the truck, Xiao Jian checked the fuel gauge and calculated the driving process, the fuel tank of Yuanbing 008 was extremely large, so they didn't need to refuel in Svo City.
After getting ready, the Snow Leopards got into a pickup truck and drove along the road out of the small city of Swo.
As soon as the pickup truck pulled out of Swo City, HΓΆchs noticed that the scenery on both sides of the road had become very different.
The scenery here is not like that of China, the road is lined with green trees on both sides, and the roads in the country of Hak are all lined with bare loess and stones, which looks very desolate.
It was close to noon and the sun was hot. The temperature in the carriage became a little unbearable, but the captain Fu Ze still refused to turn on the air conditioner in order to save gasoline, and everyone had to keep drinking water to relieve the heat.
In order to save time, lunch was also solved in the car, but everyone ate Huo Chi's marinated sausages, which were also very delicious.
Along the way, there were occasional encounters with monsters, but Yuanbing 008 drove fast and left these monsters behind the car.
It wasn't until evening that the snow leopards finally arrived at the gateway of the Gobi Line, the ghost town.
The reason why the ghost town is called a ghost town is all because this once prosperous Gobi city is empty. When night comes, the dark city exudes a chilling and eerie atmosphere, like a ghost town.
There was a shortage of water on the Gobi line, so the military headquarters did not set up a post station here, and travelers had to use this abandoned city as a foothold.
"Is there anyone else but us?" Huo Chi jumped out of the car, his feet were a little swollen after sitting in the car all day, Huo Chi moved his ankles while pointing to another car outside the ghost town.
Captain Fu Ze had already taken out an assault rifle at this time: "Xiao Jian, you go and take a look." β
"Yes!" Xiao Jian wiped his sweat and stepped forward cautiously with his gun. At this moment, a few people ran out of the ghost town!
"Don't shoot! "Your own people!" shouted as the men in gray-green expedition uniforms ran, "You are from the Huaxia expedition, right?"
Fu Ze saw their military uniforms and knew that these people were from the round ice expedition, so he lowered the muzzle of his gun: "Yes, do you want to spend the night here?"
"yes, come on, it's safer for two teams to be together, come on. A thin man at the head of the round ice expedition beckoned to them with a smile: "We are about to have dinner, you should come and eat together." β
"Okay!" Fu Ze was a little relieved to see their friendly attitude. It's not as safe as in Huaxia, and even the people of the expedition have to be careful. However, the other party looked kind, so he put the gun behind his back and walked into the ghost town with the others taking water and equipment from the car.
Huo Chi walked on the wide but sand-covered road, looking up at the tall buildings on both sides, these hollow windows that represented the former prosperous buildings were blown by the evening breeze, making strange noises, which was really creepy.
"We've set up camp here, and there's some other places over there, so use them. The thin man said, "Hello, I'm Yamada of the Yamada team, please take care of me." β
"Hello, I'm Fu Ze of the Snow Leopard Team. "Although Fu Ze doesn't like the pretending round ice players, but sleeping in the dangerous Gobi, it is always good to have one more team to take care of each other.
The snow leopard team set up a tent in the open space on the other side, Xiao Jian stretched out his head to look at Yuanbing 008 after setting up the tent, and felt that there was no problem, so he sat down: "Huo Chi, what are you eating today?"
Huo Chi shook the salt shaker in his hand: "I sweated a lot during the day, eat some salty to make up for the salt." β
Huo Chi said as he took out the cured meat, potatoes and carrots, set up the iron pot and began to stew seriously. There was still a lot of flour given by Lin Erha in the bag, and Huo Chi quickly baked a few more cakes. Soon, the enticing smell of meat and noodles wafted out from Huo Chi's side.
This rich aroma is all too familiar to the Snow Leopard team, and Huo Chi usually makes stews in the evening, which is nutritious and easy to absorb. But for the round ice expedition team next to it, this is really an irresistible aroma.
The thin man stood up and walked to Huo Chi's side, his eyes shining at Huo Chi's iron pot that was constantly churning out its aroma.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Little brother, you... Your pot of food is so fragrant. β
"Hmm. Huo Chi saw that the stew was almost done, so he took the pot aside and began to serve the rice to everyone.
"Uh... That one... Can you give us some of it?" Yamada swallowed again, the taste of the meal was so fragrant that it was really mouth-watering.
"Ahh Huo Chi didn't want to share it with them. It's not that Huo Chi is stingy, it's really because he doesn't like these round ice people.
"Oh, I have some rice balls here, can I exchange some with you?" Yamada was actually very persistent, although he felt that Huo Chi was unwilling to give it to him, he still stood and didn't leave.
"Huo Chi, exchange some with them. Captain Fu Ze saw that Huo Chi seemed to be about to refuse again, so he hurriedly walked over.
Huo Chi saw that the captain said this, so he had to pack a bowl of stew for Yamada and give him a piece of pancake.
Yamada was a man of his word, and immediately gave Huo Chi two rice balls. Huo Chi shook the heavy rice balls in his hand, and felt that he had no loss or gain, but where could the rice balls compare to the freshly baked pancakes?
Yamada bowed slightly in gratitude and returned to their campfire with stews and pancakes.
Huo Chi looked over curiously and found that Yamada had distributed the stew and cakes to the team members, and after several people got the vegetables and cakes, they ate together.
"Oh my God!" a short man's eyes lit up after taking a sip.
