Rising from the age of thirty

Finally, Lu Le compromised. This was also a helpless move. If he changed the guide now, it would undoubtedly waste a lot of precious time. Otherwise, Lu Le would definitely have a good argument with him.

Shitou complained indignantly, "Why? Just to show you the way, you charge 20,000 US dollars. Even if it's 20,000 RMB, it's too expensive!"

Lu Le quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and get in the car quickly. We have to get to Xia Kawa before dark. If we delay, we will have to camp in the wild at night!"

Not daring to delay any longer, everyone quickly boarded the vehicle and headed northwest following the navigation and guide's instructions.

At first, the road was relatively flat and the sun was scorching, but after driving for a while, we entered an endless desert area, as if there was no road ahead.

Fortunately, the guide was experienced and relied on his memory to lead everyone through this desert area smoothly, and we returned to the asphalt road soon.

Shitou couldn't help but sigh: "This old man is really good."

Lu Le, who was driving, nodded and said, "Well, he said before that the wind and sand would cover the road, but I didn't believe it at the time."

Liu Yan pointed ahead and asked in confusion, "Why did you stop?"

Lu Le rolled down the window and asked, "What happened?"

"Boss, the road ahead is being repaired and we are not allowed to pass." The person leading the way answered.

Lu Le looked at Liu Yan in the passenger seat and asked, "What is the old man talking about?"

Liu Yan translated: "He said this is the only way."

Lu Le frowned and said, "Ask him how long it will take to restore traffic!"

Liu Yan relayed this to the old man and he replied, "Traffic will resume tonight. They asked us to go back and wait at the service station we were at."

Lu Le looked at the time, sighed helplessly and said, "Is there no other way?"

At this moment, the old man walked to Lu Le's car and said to him, motioning Liu Yan to translate: "In fact, there is another way, that is to cross this desert! But it is also very dangerous."

Lu Le frowned and asked, "How sure are you?"

The old man replied: "Eighty percent! If you are not in a hurry, you can return to the service area and wait."

Lu Le asked again: "What conditions do you have?"

The old man smiled and said, "Give me another ten thousand dollars."

After a little consideration, Lu Le agreed: "Okay."

After resting for a while, Lu Le informed everyone to get ready to cross the desert.

The old man also said that there is no need to worry even if an unexpected situation occurs, because rescue workers will arrive quickly.

Then the old man made a phone call.

Liu Yan said, "If we don't get out of the desert before 12 o'clock tonight, his friends will call the police for us and tell us not to worry."

There was a hint of comfort and calmness in her voice, which made everyone feel a little relieved.

After asking the people who were building the road, Lu Le learned that if someone got lost in the desert, search and rescue workers would find them in just one hour. This was one of the reasons why he made the decision.

"boarding!"

Following Lui Lok's order, everyone got on their respective vehicles.

There were a total of eight vehicles this time, all of which were Prados. They were capable of coping with the complex road conditions in the desert and did not encounter too much difficulty.

Sitting in the car, Liu Yan asked curiously: "Can you tell me now why you are in such a hurry to go to Kava Town?"

Her eyes revealed confusion and curiosity, as if she had been holding back on this question for a long time.

Lu Le smiled and said, "I received news that there is an oil field under the town of Kawa. You know what this means."

"you sure?"

Liu Yan blinked.

Obviously, she didn't believe it.

"Why would I lie to you?" Lu Le pretended to be mysterious, his eyes looking at Liu Yan's bag intentionally or unintentionally.

"How do you know?"

"Hey, because I already bought it, how could I not know!"

………At the same time, in another place.

In Assad's luxurious villa, one of his men hurried over to report: "Boss, there is important news!"

Assad frowned slightly and asked calmly, "Did you monitor it? What's the news?"

The subordinate panted and said, "We overheard an astonishing secret! Lu Le and his men discovered that there is a large amount of oil under the town of Kawa!"

Assad's face flashed with surprise: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true. They said it themselves."

"Okay, continue monitoring and record all useful information."

The bag Assad gave to Liu Yan was originally bugged, with the purpose of finding out whether Liu Yan and Lui Lok were really a couple! !
.........

In the car.

Liu Yan asked anxiously: "How many are there?"

"The people I sent over have already investigated, and the conservative estimate is 100 to 200 million barrels."

Hearing this number, Liu Yan couldn't help but be shocked, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "So much? Wouldn't that mean I'm going to get rich!" Her voice was full of surprise and expectation.

"Yes, if we mine it, we will make a fortune."

"Assad's family is developing oil. How about we cooperate with him?"

"No, I need to think about it."

At this moment, the sky suddenly changed color, and a strong wind blew from afar, raising yellow sand all over the sky.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard.

The old man yelled hurriedly, calling out and directing everyone.

Liu Yan translated his words into Chinese: "Go south to avoid the eye of the storm."

"Press the gas."

"If you are caught up, don't panic, stay in the car and don't come out."

Faced with the sandstorm, no one is not afraid.

Lu Le never expected that he would be so unlucky to encounter a sandstorm at this time.

"Fuck, no signal."

"It's over."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. It's not very powerful."

Lu Le's mouth twitched. He clearly heard that the car was heading south, but when he turned the steering wheel sharply, he made a mistake because he was too nervous, causing the car to drive north and separate from most vehicles. Fortunately, the eye of the storm was heading east.

very quickly.

They successfully escaped the sandstorm, but were trapped in an endless desert.

There was no signal here, and they didn't know how to get out. What was worse, they couldn't find the main force.

Liu Yan was relatively calm and consoled him, "Don't worry, we just went against them. If we turn back now, we might run into them."

Lui Le slapped his forehead and said, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that?"

So the two began to turn around and return. However, in the next two hours, they still did not encounter a large force.

Lu Le couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"It's getting dark."

"Is something going to happen to them?"

According to common sense, they have been driving for two hours and should be able to catch up with the main force.

But now, not even a single person could be seen, which gave Lu Le a bad feeling. (End of this chapter)
