Chapter Seventy-One: The Oasis of Death

In March 2035, the group started from the Cape of Good Hope, the southernmost point of Africa, and headed north. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the way, more than a dozen A3 strongholds in Africa were destroyed based on insider intelligence, but not a single member of the "Hunter" was encountered.

The colony was filled with ordinary new human staff, and the rest of the staff did not move, except for a few heinous diehards.

Dongfang Chen just repeatedly explained to them the evil nature of the A3 organization, and explained to them the causes and consequences of the birth of the new human race. In the end, no matter how much they could listen, they left with the God Butcher.

In October, the group of God Tu came to Egypt along the Nile, eating, drinking, and merryfully along the way, and everyone was dressed as a wild adventurer.

Because Moncano was too big and his appearance was too conspicuous, Prosius had to give him a set of Hellfire combat suits to wear, and always turned on the camouflage function of the combat suit.

And Moncano disguised himself as a two-meter-two bald black man, with such a big man accompanying him along the way, Africa, which has never been in a very good security situation, has also become friendly to the God Butcher.

On this day, everyone rode their camels to a small town called Yusuri, the town is surrounded by the Nile River on one side and the Sahara Desert on the other, with green trees on one side and yellow sand on the other.

The group came to a small hotel and settled down, and before they could sit down and shake their buttocks, they were clamoring to eat.

It just so happened that the innkeeper also ran a small restaurant, and after taking a shower, they went to the restaurant on the first floor, ordered all the kababs from the owner, ordered five roast pigeons, and finally ordered a lot of bread and ale.

The boss's eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, and the gang had almost wiped out the restaurant's inventory, was this to take the food from their store to worship the river god?

After that, a few more customers came to order food, and the boss had to apologize for explaining that the meat was gone, and there were only vegetarian dishes such as salads.

The God Butchers are now veritable God Eaters. Prosius always drank only and did not eat anything, always a thousand glasses were not poured, and the liters of wine were counted when he drank wine.

Tianshu is considered to be the worst eater in the God Slaughter Group, and even then the amount of food is several times that of ordinary people. There is no way to force this out, because when dining with these foodies, if you are a little humble or slow, you will probably only be able to gnaw bones and pick up bread crumbs to eat.

And Dongfang Chen, Shaoguang, and Moncano's food can only be described as a bottomless pit, when they are hiking in the wilderness, they eat less, or even don't eat for a few days, and they eat wildly when they go to cities and towns.

All the locals in the restaurant stopped what they were doing, looking at the appearance of these foreigners, wondering if Asians and whites also had refugees dying of starvation?

After more than an hour, except for Shaoguang and Moncano, who were still eating roast pigeons, the rest of the people were chatting while drinking, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time.

At this time, the locals had become accustomed to eating the appearance of the beings of the God Slaughter Troupe, and began to chat with each other.

"Have you heard? Brother Ali also went there last week, and he hasn't come back yet, and I guess he's missing. A voice said.

"What? What the hell do they dare to go to that place?" another voice exclaimed.

"Who knows? It is said that the two brothers boasted about it in order to please a girl. Forget it, don't talk about such a bad thing, did Arsenal win last night?"

Dongfang Chen understands Arabic, and as soon as he heard such a conversation, he immediately subconsciously thought of the A3 organization, good people disappeared for no reason, are they doing something hurtful?

"I've got something to do. Dongfang Chen said to Tianshu and the others.

Then Dongfang Chen walked to the two young people who had just talked about the disappearance, first introduced himself in Arabic, of course, it was all made up, and after obtaining the consent of the two locals, Dongfang Chen sat next to them.

"May I ask you, two friends, you said that someone was missing here? Can you tell me more about it? I'm an archaeologist and I'm interested in this strange place. Dongfang Chen asked.

The two immediately looked defensive, and one of them said unhappily, "What does this have to do with you? We don't have anything like that here, you just heard it wrong." ”

Dongfang Chen didn't speak, silently took out a wad of dollars and put it on the table, as much as a thousand, and then asked: "I only need the detailed address of that place, I don't need to do anything else, the money will belong to you." ”

The two locals looked at each other, and one of them said, "We don't take your money for nothing, we only know that there is a long time ago name for that place, which is called the Oasis of Death, and we don't know anything else."

Do you have a pen and paper?"

Three days later, everyone in the God Slaughter Regiment prepared dry food and drinking water and left the town, and inevitably looted the small restaurant.

"80 to 180 km to the southwest!

What kind of detailed address is this? These two people are cheated of money, and you have been deceived by the regiment commander!"

Dongfang Chen wore a huge sunhat and sunglasses, and said with a smile: "If you are fooled, it will be a tourist, and we have nothing to do anyway."

Hehe, except for Mr. Prosius, I guess you have never seen the real Sahara Desert, and the desert you saw before was simply the gap between a small waterhole and a lake.

Shake it out, you have to save water to drink, and it's no joke to have no water in the Sahara Desert. ”

Prosius and Moncano, two characters above the first level of evolution, naturally sneered at the harshest environment on earth and were very leisurely. But Dongfang Chen, Shaoguang, and Tianshu soon failed, and the Sahara Desert tortured the three of them like frosted eggplants in just a few hours, drooping their heads and not moving, and they didn't bother to say a word.

I walked like this for two days and one night, and I was lucky not to encounter a fatal sandstorm, and the walking distance is estimated to have exceeded 100 kilometers, but in the eyes of everyone, it is still sand.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, suddenly a huge sand dune that stretched endlessly blocked their way, and the height of the sand dune was actually two or three hundred meters.

Dongfang Chen was very puzzled, it stands to reason that this kind of terrain like a mountain range, and the texture is sand, it is impossible to exist in the desert, is there something strange ahead?

Everyone decided to get off their camels and climb the sand dunes on foot, taking one step and three steps back, and finally using their hands and feet, they finally climbed to the top of the sand dune, looked ahead, and were stunned by the sight in front of them.

I saw that the other side of the sand dunes was a new world, the endless huge sand dunes were in a ring, surrounded by a deep and secluded place, the bottom of the center was lush and green, and it was actually an oasis, but there was a big difference in the height of the sand dunes in Dongfang Chen's station, and it was not clear to see, and it was estimated that the area was nearly two square kilometers.

The oasis is generally radial, Dongfang Chen looked around, and immediately concluded that this was a crater, looking at this scale, it is estimated that at least a million tons of giant meteorites hit the ground to complete. A forest-like oasis has grown at the bottom of the crater, so the meteorite must have hit the Earth quite a long time ago.

This level of impact is fortunate to have occurred in a desert area, and the soft texture of the Sahara Desert must have absorbed most of the impact energy, which would have been a devastating disaster if it had occurred in any other area.

Dongfang Chen wondered in his heart: Why did he never hear of such a crater with scientific research value? Not only that, but there was no record in the historical documents!

What did the other people think when they saw the oasis in the crater for the time being, but as soon as Prosius saw this oasis, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, and when he used the secret technique to investigate it carefully, he was taken aback, and smiled slightly in his heart: Hehe, I didn't expect to come here?

After shouting for a long time, he excitedly shouted: "Brother Dongfang, let's go down quickly, it must be fun down here!" After speaking, he cheered and skated down the sand.

Everyone jumped down, and suddenly returned to their childhood, laughing, screaming, and sliding through the soft sand to the oasis at the bottom of the crater.

Dongfang Chen and the other three earth human beings, in the oasis, really understood what it means to not know the true face of Lushan, only because they are in this mountain.

Where is this oasis? It's clearly a large expanse of lush tropical rain. Everyone felt unusually humid and stuffy, just like the sauna, the thermometer showed 52.4 degrees Celsius, and the sweat on the head and face was dripping like rain. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was wearing special underwear made for interstellar travel, I was afraid that the whole person would be like just fished out of the water.

Dongfang Chen looked at his watch again and was startled, this small oasis was actually more than 160 meters below the sea level, it can be seen that the power of the meteorite impact at the beginning, the underground water veins must have been exposed, the oasis was full of small streams and small pools, and his ears were filled with the sound of rushing water.

Dongfang Chen was erudite and talented, and after observing for a long time, he was surprised. It turns out that the water in the oasis is extremely abundant, but in the hot and dry climate of the Sahara Desert, it is rapidly evaporated, and the whole oasis is full of fog, and the fog becomes thicker and thicker the higher it goes, and finally at an altitude of about 100 meters, a thick cyan cloud is somehow formed and rolls for a long time, and then the evaporated water vapor gathers to a certain extent, and then turns into a downpour and falls back into the oasis, and so on and so on and so on.

The interval between this cycle is quite short, and Dongfang Chen roughly estimated that it would only take about four to six hours for the surface water source to evaporate into the air and then rain back to the ground. Everyone could see the oasis below from the top of the sand dune just now, just in time for the heavy rain to fall, and the oasis was revealed, otherwise they would only see a white expanse, thus missing the opportunity to discover the oasis.

In this way, Dongfang Chen estimated that the vegetation here could be exposed to sunlight for an hour during each cycle, and the entire crater began to be foggy again.

In this way, for some reason, the water vapor evaporated from the surface of the oasis was locked in the crater, unable to evaporate and escape to the desert, and it did not take long for the rain to fall back into the oasis.

Although botany is not Dongfang Chen's strong point, he also has an undergraduate level of biology. Along the way, he found a lot of plants that he didn't know, and he had never seen them in previous materials, and all kinds of strange plants were unheard of, and most of them were vine plants. The trees are not very tall, they are gymnosperms that are slightly taller than the cycads, and a few taller trees are ferns.

Dongfang Chen was suddenly shocked in his heart: this should be the ideal home for dinosaurs!
