Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 151 Sandstorm

Before setting off, An Liman gave one final warning: "If you really encounter a wind, then the most important thing is to save your life. Don't blame me then."

As for An Liman's words, no one took it seriously. After all, if we really encountered a strong wind, it would be up to everyone.

In this way, this ten-person team finally officially entered the desert on the last first day of March.

Although it is still March, the daytime in the desert is hot enough.

With Anliman, a living map in the desert, and sufficient water, food, medical supplies and other supplies, everyone is full of confidence in this operation.

I don't know if it was the first time to enter the desert, but Baipi was very excited.

As with the route agreed upon before, everyone started from Bosten Lake and headed south along the Kongque River Ancient Road.

Bosten Lake means "oasis" in Uyghur language, and this lake is the largest inland freshwater lake in my country.

In "Hanshu: Biography of the Western Regions", "King Yanqi arrived at Yuanqucheng, a hundred miles south to Yuli, and there are many fish in the offshore water", and "Dunxipu" in "Shui Jing Zhu" refer to both This lake.

The water of this lake comes from the Kaidu River, and the water of the Kaidu River comes from the melted snow water on the Tianshan Mountains.

The Tianshan snow water flows into Bosten Lake through the Kaidu River, and then the Kongque River originates from here, and then flows to the depths of the Taklimakan Desert.

And everyone walked in the desert peacefully for two full days.

At this moment, everyone has not yet walked out of the section of Kongque River where there is water flow.

Seeing the calm situation along the way, everyone couldn't help but joke.

"Didn't Uncle An Liman say that there is danger everywhere in the desert? But how dangerous is it here?"

Sa Di Peng probably had too much leisure these two days, so he couldn't help but joke at this moment.

When the fat man heard this, he immediately agreed: "He has to say it's dangerous, so he can ask for more money."

As soon as this was said, everyone immediately laughed.

But as Bai Jing walked, he felt more and more palpitation in his heart.

At first, this feeling of heart palpitations was not severe, but as the team moved forward, Bai Jing noticed that when the water flow in the ancient Kongque River road next to him became smaller and smaller, this feeling became more intense.

Although I have good physical strength and strength, I have to admit that I am not completely sure in the world's largest mobile desert.

However, when An Liman walked in the desert, every resting point, the broken ruins and the scattered poplar trees were definitely planned by An Liman.

When these things are connected, it becomes a route in the desert.

This Anliman is worthy of being called a living map in the desert. Without this person to lead the way, everyone would have walked many wrong roads along the way.

However, as time went by, the team finally left the Peacock River Basin.

Now, there is no water source to replenish along the way, and we can only rely on the water source we brought when we came.

But Bai Jing knew that there were a total of seventeen camels when they arrived. Except for the camel man's camels, they could only bring half a ton of water at most.

The water may not seem like a small amount, but if ten people use it, it will take up to ten days to bottom out.

This is still a situation where things must not happen. As time goes by, everyone has been in the desert for more than ten days. Before, they could occasionally see some plants, but now they have completely disappeared. At a glance, everyone can see sand as far as the eye can see except sand. It is surrounded by a sea of ​​sand.

As for the water that the group brought with them when they came, due to the extremely hot weather and the evaporation of the human body, more than half of it had been consumed by now.

But according to the contents of Shirley Yang's interpretation of the notebook, everyone had only walked almost half of the journey.

In this case, there is less than half of the water, but more than half of the way has to be traveled. The rest of the journey will be difficult.

The team at this moment is no longer as optimistic as it was at the beginning.

On this morning, the sky was just getting brighter, and from a distance, you could see the colorful clouds coming from the horizon.

The more Bai Jing looked at these colorful clouds, the more he felt uneasy inside.

It was rare for Baipi not to make a fuss at this moment, he just looked deeply at the colorful clouds in the distance.

Obviously, Bai Pi also had an ominous premonition.

Thinking of this, Bai Jing immediately went to ask An Liman, but he found An Liman kneeling on a blanket, seeming to be saying mass.

The more Bai Jing looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. He immediately stopped caring about other things and started calling people one by one.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly, get up and pack your things, there may be strong winds coming soon, pack your things and get on the camel, and go!"

Hearing Bai Jing's words, everyone else was a little confused, but Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang unconsciously looked at Bai Jing and touched their hearts, and Bai Jing nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty began to move faster, and at the same time they also began to urge others.

Unbeknownst to others, the two of them believed in Bai Jing's feelings.

Bai Jing has the ability to predict danger. They know it. Now after Bai Jing's confirmation, they also know that it must be very dangerous, so they don't care so much.

Seeing Bai Jing and the three of them moving, the others also quickly moved when they saw this.

After a while, everything was loaded on the camel and it was time to set off.

An Liman naturally noticed this scene and was quite speechless. He originally thought of finding a chance to run away later, but he didn't expect that the others would move faster than him. There was nothing he could do.

Seeing that everyone else was ready, An Liman put away the blanket and quickly set off on his camel.

In this way, the camels had been walking for almost an hour, and in front of everyone, the ruins of an ancient city appeared.

However, at this time, there was still no change in the sky. Just when everyone thought that Bai Jing had made a mistake, a few grains of sand suddenly flew from behind.

Seeing the sand, Bai Jing couldn't help but said: "This is hyacinth. The sandstorm is coming soon. Everyone, duck down or get off the camels quickly. Let's go into the ancient city to avoid the wind and sand."

After hearing this, everyone quickly got off the camel and bowed down.

After a while, when everyone arrived at the ruins of the ancient city, the sandstorm finally arrived.

The wind and sand were overwhelming, so everyone quickly settled the camels, then found a nearby cellar and got into it.
