At the end of the endless sea of sand, a black line slowly emerged under the scorching sun.
The black line seemed far away, but it moved at an extremely fast speed, getting bigger and bigger. The whole world became gray, and the sun gradually became invisible.
Uncle An, who was standing on the sand dune, turned pale instantly, his legs softened, and he rolled down the dune.
Everyone sitting on the ground to rest looked at the panicked Uncle An with some confusion. But Uncle An kept nagging at all times along the way, and everyone was already used to it.
Professor Chen smiled and asked: "Brother An, what did you see?"
"Bah, bah!"
Uncle An, who got up again, ignored Professor Chen and started driving the camels.
Then, he got on a camel, looked at Professor Chen and his party with a serious face, and said in his broken Mandarin: "I have told you before, don't enter the desert during the windy season. Now Hu Da (God) ) is already angry, the black sand storm is coming soon, we must find a place to avoid the black sand storm, otherwise we will all be buried by the black sand storm!"
The man surnamed Hu, who was standing not far away, also noticed something was wrong. The direction of the setting sun was already gray and no objects could be seen. Even the sun was covered by sand and dust.
The man surnamed Hu shouted to everyone and ran over: "No, the sandstorm is coming. Everyone get on the camels and get ready to leave!"
Chen Mo had already figured out that this man named Hu was vaguely the leader of the team. As soon as he said these words, everyone was immediately shocked.
"Quick, professor, get on the camel!" Dr. Hao, Professor Chen's student, immediately helped Professor Chen climb onto the camel.
The rest of the people also hurriedly climbed on the camels, but Uncle An had already driven the camels and started to escape.
If you want to avoid the sandstorm, you can only find some buildings or bunkers, but now Chen Mo and his party have already penetrated deep into the desert hinterland, where there is almost nothing else except the sea of sand.
The speed of the sandstorm was far beyond everyone's imagination. The group of people only had time to walk more than a mile. The wind and sand were mercilessly raging in the sky, making people unable to open their eyes. The black sandstorm had already caught up with them.
"Quick, cover your mouth and nose with a scarf, quick!"
The man surnamed Hu seemed to be very experienced. He had covered his mouth and nose with a piece of black cloth, and his voice was somewhat unclear when he spoke.
His voice was soon drowned in the roaring sandstorm, and in the end he could only shout to the people behind him, one by one.
Soon, everyone covered their mouths and noses with cloths or towels. Although Chen Mo and Yuan Qingshan didn't have to do this, they still pretended to cover their faces with a towel.
"Master Chen, are you going to help them? If we don't take action, they will probably die in this sandstorm." Yuan Qingshan sent a message to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo also sent a message back: "We'll talk about it later."
After a few more minutes, the entire sky became hazy, and only objects a few meters away could be vaguely seen.
Uncle An, who was walking in the front, was riding a camel with his hands clasped together, mumbling words and praying.
The man surnamed Wang behind the young man surnamed Hu shouted: "Old Hu, this is not the solution. No matter how fast we go, we can't survive the sandstorm. Before we can find the bunker, we may have been buried by the black sandstorm!" "
"What should we do?" The man surnamed Hu turned around and shouted. He had nothing to do at this moment.
At this time, there was a commotion in the rear team and they stopped moving forward.
It turned out to be a young girl from the archaeological team. She was not in good health. After being exposed to the black sandstorm, she fainted and fell off the camel.
Professor Chen and his party immediately stopped to rescue. When the man surnamed Hu saw it, he shouted to the man surnamed Wang: "Go to the front and make Mr. An stop no matter what means you use. I'll go to the back to see the situation!"
"Okay!" The man surnamed Wang agreed, urged the camel, and sped up to chase Uncle An.
Yuan Qingshan and Chen Mo walked at the end. Yuan Qingshan sent a message: "Someone can't hold it anymore, what should I do?"
Chen Mo said: "Let's go down and take a look and look for opportunities to save people."
Ahead, the man surnamed Wang had already caught up with Uncle An and shouted: "Stop, stop!"
But Uncle An ignored him at all and ran for his own life.
The man surnamed Wang had no choice but to curse and put the shotgun to Uncle An's head: "I told you to stop!"
Uncle An had no choice but to stop and was dragged back to the rear by the man named Wang.
The man surnamed Hu, Professor Chen and others were checking on the injured. They just had a fever and were in coma, which was not serious, but they were unable to move on.
The man surnamed Wang threw Uncle An in front of the man surnamed Hu and cursed: "This old man was trying to escape alone, I almost shot him!"
The man surnamed Hu had no choice but to lie down in Uncle An's ear and shout: "Uncle An, someone is injured. We can't leave now. Is there any way you can escape this sandstorm?"
Uncle An had a pious look on his face, kneeling on the ground and worshiping non-stop, murmuring: "I have told you a long time ago, it is the windy season, why don't you listen to me, there is nothing I can do now!"
The man surnamed Hu was helpless. The center of the sandstorm was about to arrive, and there were wounded people in the team. He couldn't leave at all.
The man surnamed Hu made a quick decision: "Lao Wang, Miss Yang, Xiaoye, you guys go and bring the camels over and form a circle. We hide among the camels, hoping to escape this disaster!"
The man surnamed Wang gave a thumbs up happily: "Lao Hu, your move is really good!"
Hope suddenly rose in the hearts of everyone, and they formed a circle around the camels with difficulty. Then everyone linked their arms and lay down together under the camels.
I have to say that this method is quite good and can withstand most of the sandstorms, but everyone underestimates the horror of black sandstorms.
The powerful black sandstorm was similar to a tornado, and it swept the camel into the sky. But at the critical moment, a khaki light flashed through, and the camel returned to its original place.
But the people lying on the ground and covering their heads couldn't see this scene at all.
Sensing danger, Chen Mo immediately took out the bronze mirror and activated the power of the magic weapon to protect the entire team.
If someone opens their eyes and takes a look, they will find that they are covered by a circle of earth-yellow light mask. The light mask blocks most of the power of the sandstorm, and only a small part of the wind and sand still blows in. This is what Chen Mo did on purpose. It is to prevent people from becoming suspicious.
The sandstorm lasted for nearly an hour, but everyone felt as if a century had passed.
When everyone crawled out of the sand and found that they were still alive, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Without bothering to shake off the sand and dust on their bodies, they began to pray non-stop, thanking the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
Uncle An worshiped his Hu Da fiercely again.
Although everyone is fine, there is a serious problem now. They have run out of water.
If they can't find a water source or an oasis, they will die of thirst here.
"Everyone cheer up, don't be idle, look around immediately to see if you can find a place where plants grow. If you can find plants, you can find the underground river underneath and solve the water source problem." The man surnamed Hu shouted.
Everyone was about to take action, but Uncle An said with a depressed look: "It's useless. I've told you before. If you go inside, you won't be able to find the underground river underneath!"
The man surnamed Wang scolded: "This old guy will lose his temper at the critical moment. Ignore him and let's go find him."
