"Are you a veteran, or a scientist?"

On the camel, Shirley Yang tilted her head and asked Wei Ping'an.

"Can't retired researchers?"

"Perfunctory."

Shirley Yang pursed her lips, her legs strained, and the camel under her crotch walked a little faster.

Cross Wei Ping'an and rush to the front.

"Brother Wei, is this American girl taking a fancy to you......"

"Which nostril of your nose shows that the American girl has a crush on me?"

"I feel like I've seen all the pores all over my body, and I've taken the initiative to talk to you five or six times in the past half a day......"

Wang Kaixuan was amazed, with an exaggerated expression.

It caused the laughter of Sa Dipeng and Chu Jian.

This group of young people had no idea of the dangers of the desert.

Just now, Ye Fang also proposed that everyone sing a song together.

It's like an old birthday star eating arsenic, and I don't know if life or death is coming.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, and the amount of drinking water seems to be sufficient now, which is also because it has just come in, and the Gobi Desert has not yet been completed, and the water source is relatively easy to find.

But if they enter the real desert and encounter some accidents, I don't know if they will have this kind of leisure and elegance.

Of course, there is abundant water in Wei Ping'an's space, although he will not die without help, but he will not be stingy to let them feel the hardships and difficulties of real desert archaeology.

Let's watch.

The young people of the scientific expedition team rode on camels, not tired at all, leisurely and elegant, dreaming loudly about the future, occasionally accompanied by singing and dancing, the road did not walk much, did not do much, and did not save drinking water at all.

After finishing a red song in unison, seeing An Liman sitting on a camel swaying as if he was asleep from a distance, Chu Jian suddenly laughed.

"Didn't Anlimon say that the desert was dangerous? Where is this dangerous, look at how beautiful this scenery is......"

Chu Jian held the reins in one hand and drew a circle in front of him with the other, and said in high spirits.

"If you don't say it's more difficult, it's more dangerous, so why do you need more money. Right, old Hu? ”

Wang Fatzi is very unaccustomed to An Liman, and he is also very worried about his character, when he heard this topic, he immediately became interested, took over the conversation, and followed the ridicule.

"Mr. An Liman still has a set, along the way, the dry river imprints, the scattered remnants of the monuments, and the remains of those plants, these are connected, it is a safe route."

Hu Bayi's calm analysis.

"You are worthy of being the team leader, Brother Hu, you are really careful to observe."

Sa Dipeng smiled and exclaimed.

There is laughter and laughter here, and there is also the energy to attack the guide An Liman with words.

But not far away, the situation is not so easy.

After all, Professor Chen is old, and after being bumpy on a camel for so long, his body seems to be a little unbearable.

"Fatty, tell the big guy, let's take a rest first."

Hu Bayi had been observing the situation of the entire team, and when he saw that Professor Chen Jiuren already had a slightly painful expression on his face, he immediately shouted.

Whether he can find the exquisite ancient city, Hu Bayi doesn't care too much.

After all, 20,000 US dollars and 40,000 US dollars are huge numbers for him.

20,000 is also quite satisfying.

But everyone's safety, as the team leader, is responsible for his attention and protection.

The camel stopped.

The main thing is that Xiaohong, who is under Anliman's seat, stops, and the one behind him also stops.

Wei Ping'an has always been regarded as the back escort, and jumped off the camel first.

"Xiaoye, come on."

Wei Ping'an called Ye Fang, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, and handed it to her.

"You eat this chocolate, the girl doesn't think it now, and after a while, she may not be able to keep up with her physical strength."

"Oh, okay, Brother Wei."

Ye Fang took a deep look at Wei Ping'an, broke a piece and stuffed it in his mouth, thought for a while, and ran to Professor Chen's side again.

Although it has entered the reform and opening up, chocolate is not a rare thing, but this is not the capital, and it is not something that can be replenished casually.

And chocolate is still a novelty in XJ, it's not that easy to come by.

Professor Chen was also helped by Hao Aiguo and Chu Jian to sit on the sand at this time.

He was indeed tossed enough, but with faith and a lifetime of longing, he could barely hold on.

"Chu Jian, you go check the supplies, pay attention to it carefully."

Shirley Yang is not the team leader, but as the biggest financier, she naturally has the ability to exercise her privileges, and what she said is reasonable, but Shirley Yang is also smart.

can't dominate Hu Bayi, can't command Wang Fatzi, Professor Chen and Wei Ping'an are not something she can arrange at will, and the rest, if you can still have physical strength, it will be Chu Jian.

"Okay, I'll go."

Chu Jian didn't have any rebuttal, those who can work hard, his physical strength is acceptable, and he has to do this.

And the biggest problem in entering the desert is the materials, if the materials are accidentally lost, such as insufficient drinking water, you have to have no choice but to withdraw, and this scientific expedition will end without a problem.

"Teacher Wei, how long do you think we have to walk to reach the Exquisite Ancient City?"

Sadipon asked boredly.

The professor was too formal, and when he entered the desert, he changed to a teacher by the way.

Changing titles at will may also be a consistent characteristic of young people.

Sa Dipeng was also a little tired at this time, wheezing, a little sluggish, probably seeing Chu Jian busy, he asked casually.

Wei Ping'an's answer was very solemn: "First of all, we are not sure of the location of the Exquisite Ancient City, so we can't accurately determine the time, and secondly, this is actually not a real desert, and the real difficulties are still waiting ahead, don't take it lightly." ”

These words made the young members of the scientific expedition team feel a little heavy.

Turning his head, Wei Ping'an saw that Shirley Yang was looking at him not far away, so he nodded slightly.

Shirley Young nodded back and turned to walk away.

Wei Ping'an looked at Shirley Yang's back and pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

Why does this keep peeking at herself lately?

Is it really like what the fat man said......

In this way, it's not very good.

After all, Hu Bayi doesn't have many opportunities to get off the list, and he will always engage in underground activities in the future.

It's just that feelings are not something that can be slapped with a slap.

Wei Ping'an always felt that since the Kunlun Glacier conflict, Shirley Yang had a different attitude towards himself.

But don't you fall in love with yourself?

Reasonable allocation of resources is also better than high-quality resources.

Wei Ping'an really doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of men and women.

After all, I have just vented my strength in Shanghai and Beijing.

It can be regarded as a sage's downturn.

It's just that things often don't go their way around anyone.

Murphy's Law is sometimes really evil.

Wei Ping'an looked at Hu Bayi with some weakness, and saw that he was still joking leisurely with Wang Fatzi, this old Comrade Hu did not have the slightest anxious posture.

After pondering for a while, Wei Ping'an guessed that maybe the two of them hadn't died together, so there wasn't much intersection.

Let's see.

The team stopped and went, and the skin peeled during the day, and everyone had to be covered in the fabric of their clothes no matter how hot it was, and it was bitterly cold at night, even if there was a tent, they could only stiffen up in the second half of the night.

The laughter and laughter disappeared on the second day.

It's just that the waste of drinking water has not been slowed down.

Wei Ping'an didn't care, didn't stop it, and sat back and watched the changes.

Professor Chen Jiuren has old arms and legs, and his physical strength really can't keep up, but the toughness and endurance of his will are not comparable to this group of young people who have never endured hardships.

Once again, he was helped off the camel.

Chen Jiuren sat on the sand dunes.

It is far away from the Gobi, and there is no grass around it, and there are sand dunes of a few meters, a dozen meters, or even tens of meters.

In the experience of these two days, the eyes can not keep staring at the sand, and it is easy to faint, commonly known as sand sickness.

It's the same as seasickness.

Ye Fang had the help of Wei Ping'an, a quasi-brother-in-law, and her physical strength was still able to hold on, and when she got the snack materials given by Wei Ping'an, she ran to share them with Chen Jiuren in half of them.

She couldn't take care of others, even if Hao Aiguo saw it, she didn't ask Ye Fang for it.

Even when Ye Fang expressed it to Hao Aiguo, he was politely refused.

This made Wei Ping'an look at Hao Aiguo again.

Although he doesn't understand the world, there is nothing wrong with being a man, he respects his teachers, and he is tired all the way, but he takes care of Professor Chen every time.

Sadipon took a bottle of water and walked over.

"Professor Chen, wash your hands."

"No need...... bar. ”

Professor Chen Jiuren did not completely refuse, and the word 'bar' expressed his inner desire to wash it down.

Wei Ping'an, who was not far away, pursed his lips, and his disapproving expression was obvious.

Shirley Yang looked at Wei Ping'an, and then turned her head to look at Professor Chen Jiuren, who was washing his hands.

Turned and walked to the front of the caravan.

It's a bit out of sight and out of mind.

She could not reprimand the old man, Uncle Chen, who had a good relationship with his father and was a strong supporter of this archaeological trip.

And pay for it silently.

And so the caravan went on for two more days.

Many of the mental and physical barriers of human beings have been pushed to their limits in these two days.

From the initial discomfort, to the later suffering, to the sudden relaxation of the state and the relaxation of most of the body......

The big guy thought that he had survived the hardest moment, and then he could go on the road normally and continue to look for the target.

But I didn't know that the accident in the desert was coming.

When they woke up in the morning, the group that came out of the tent saw the beautiful scenery of the morning glow.

Everyone was fascinated by the beautiful scenery and overjoyed.

On the huge sand peak in the distance, Hu Bayi and An Liman looked at Chaoxia and talked about something.

Hu Bayi also stretched out his arm from time to time and pointed at something.

"Hyacinths are coming......"

Suddenly, An Liman let out a loud shout, turned around from the sand peak and ran back, ran a few steps and simply sat on the sand dune and slid down.

Hu Bayi also followed.

An Liman ignored everyone, ran down and ran directly to the camel Xiaohong, took out a carpet from the camel and spread it on the sand, and actually started the morning class.

This kind of behavior has become accustomed to these days.

Professor Chan and others are atheists, uh...... The exception is Sadipun, who is also atheist, but believes in aliens.

Nor is it excluded that others have faith.

Even Hao Aiguo, who is rectangular, will not say anything wrong in terms of Old Man An Liman's beliefs.

Hu Bayi also ran down and walked to everyone's side panting.

"What did Brother Anliman say just now? It's too far away for us to hear. ”

"He seems to be saying, Hyacinth is coming......"

Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment and said.

"Hyacinth?"

Hao Aiguo touched his chin and said.

"Do you mean the wind?"

Ye Fang also accosted.

Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng probably thought that the wind in the desert would not be so hot during the day, and when they glanced at each other, they both saw the relaxed smile on each other's faces.

"Run, Hyacinths are coming......"

The group was stunned.

An Liman, who had calmly spread out a blanket to worship just now, actually rode on a camel quickly, and galloped to the side and back happily.

An Liman didn't hide it, and reminded everyone while running.

It seems that there is really no intention of harming the scientific expedition team.

"The sandstorm is coming, hurry up, hurry up!"

Wei Ping'an had already gotten on the camel when An Liman prayed, and at this time, he couldn't help but shake his head when he saw everyone looking flustered.

He didn't alert the group, and looked lively with interest.

Shirley Yang looked at Wei Ping'an from a distance and shook her head, with a posture of underbeating, and then looked at the people who packed their bags and began to climb camels in a panic, and all kinds of anxious postures were undoubtedly revealed......

The corners of his mouth hidden in the square scarf couldn't help but curl up in an arc.

This bad taste guy.

Shirley Yang saw Wei Ping'an, who had just come out of the tent, was not stretched out completely, and when he saw An Liman running down from the high ground, he immediately turned around and entered the tent, and after a while, the tent was closed, and he jumped on the camel with his backpack, and now in retrospect, he was ready to run early.

Fortunately, Shirley Yang also kept a hand, and she followed what Wei Ping'an did.

It was originally a subconscious act of following, but now it has unexpectedly become a calm 'pioneer'.

At this time, Shirley Yang did not realize what the next wind and sand would be like and how bad it would be.

So she didn't ignore the people in the other scientific expedition team, it was just a little psychological bad taste.

Similar emotions to Wei Ping'an.

This incident happened by accident and accident, but Shirley Yang, who grew up in the United States and advocated the idea of personal heroism, directly found resonance in Wei Ping'an's behavior.

To cut a long story short, sandstorms come fast and unusually furious.

The people of the scientific expedition team no longer had a relaxed mind, and rode the camel in embarrassment.

But the wind and sand are not something that camels can run over, and you are chasing me, but they are still getting closer and closer.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, the two brothers, keenly found that almost all the people in this group of scientific expedition team were physically exhausted and could not hold on.

"Stop, so we can't run away at all, we have to find a way to avoid it......"

Hu Bayi shouted in his throat, and only a faint sound could be heard.

There is no way, the wind and sand have arrived, and they all know that it is useless to run.

In the current situation, even if you know that it will be more risky to stop, you still have to stop.

However, as soon as the team stopped, Hao Aiguo and others found that Professor Chen was missing.

An Liman was still riding on the hump of the camel Xiaohong at this time, hesitating.

He considered whether to abandon the group and run for his life alone, or stay and figure out a way with them.

If there was no Wei Ping'an, An Liman would not even hesitate at all, and would definitely run away directly.

"Fatty, I'm optimistic about An Liman, I'll go back to Professor Chen."

Hu Bayi shouted loudly at the top of his voice, but his voice was so low that he couldn't hear it.

"Lao Hu, don't worry, the old boy can't run, I'll go over and stare at it."

Wang Kaixuan struggled to turn his body in a different direction, and climbed on all fours in the direction of An Liman.
