324: C324 On the Eve of the Desert Storm

C324 On the Eve of the Desert Storm

The sun slowly rose above their heads. Noon had arrived.

Qin Chengcheng, who had been coiling around Gao Fei, walked up to Liu Tie and Ye Xinshang, who were sitting cross-legged in the shadow of the room. She looked at Lao Liu and the others, who were eating salted vegetables with dry rations in their hands, and asked, "What are we having for lunch?"

Tieh Tu seemed to have some prejudice against Qin Chengcheng, and even now, he still ignored her.

Ye Xinshang, on the other hand, remained amiable. "Teacher Qin, we just ate. There are fruits, canned fish, ham and mineral water in the backpack."

"Oh, thank you."

Qin Chengcheng thanked them with a smile and followed their example. She sat cross-legged on the ground and grabbed a backpack.

This backpack was what Tieh Tu had always been carrying. It was very big and could store a lot of things.

After Qin Chengcheng sat down with her legs crossed, Tieh Tu stood up and said in a depressed tone, "I'm going over there to smoke a cigarette."

"I'll go with you."

Ye Xinshang also stood up, nodded to Gao Fei and followed behind Tieh Tu.

"That guy called Tieh Tu seems to be prejudiced against me. It's strange, I've never offended him with any sort of mental disorder. "

Qin Chengcheng complained in a low voice as she pulled open the chain in her backpack and took out the two long oily paper bundles that were placed on top of the canned food.

These two paper bags were heavy, and they seemed to be made of iron. Teacher Qin was angry at Tieh Tu's coldness towards her, so she didn't care about it and just put them on the ground.

The paper bag was not tightly wrapped. After it was placed on the ground, it unfolded and revealed the contents within.

Teacher Qin, who was taking out the food, didn't notice it. While she was still complaining, she heard a soft 'huh' sound coming from not too far away.

Qin Chengcheng subconsciously raised her head and looked in that direction. She saw Lao Liu and co. staring at the ground beside her with surprise, envy, and greed.

She looked down and found that within the two paper bags were two standard weapons: an underassembled Type 05 submachine gun and a short Mitsubishi military knife with a scabbard.

Lao Liu and the others were used to running around in the martial arts world. Due to their professional relationship and danger, besides Commander Mojin's Yin Claw and Tornado Shovel, they also bought guns from the black market at a high price.

However, those firearms of theirs, which were the rough imitation of the Type 64 handgun (from South Vietnam), were completely trash compared to the Type 05 submachine gun in Tieh Tu's luggage. No wonder they were so envious when they saw the submachine gun.

Commander Mojin could encounter unexpected danger at any time when he was underground. If he could have a submachine gun like this, then the safety factor would greatly increase.

This submachine gun and the Mitsubishi military thorn were prepared by Tieh Tu for Gao Fei.

Gao Fei, who was smoking, frowned slightly when he saw Qin Chengcheng's' exposure 'which attracted the greedy gazes of Liu Tie and the others. However, he did not do anything: he did not pay attention to a few small Commander Mojin.

On the other hand, Qin Chengcheng hurriedly put the two items back into her bag.

She also saw the look in the eyes of Lao Liu and the rest when they looked at the weapon. She looked at Gao Fei nervously.

Gao Fei shook his head and said lightly: "Eat, it will be noon soon."

After a hasty lunch, Gao Fei saw Old Halle holding onto a dirty stall with both hands. He faced the west with an extremely respectful expression. Then, he threw the stall onto the ground and kneeled down.

Old Halle's kneeling posture was definitely standard.

Qin Chengcheng and the others knew that Old Halle was praying for Hu Da to protect him before he left.

Old Halle prayed for a full ten minutes and finished reciting a long part of the Ancient Blue Scripture. He then got up, rolled up the stall, and put it on the back of a camel. Gone! "

There was no wine, but there was always water.

Following Lao Liu's example, Gao Fei helped Qin Chengcheng climb onto a camel after they picked up the leather bag (water bottle) and drank a mouthful of clear water.

The camel bells rang, and a line of eight people and ten camels (two of which were for carrying water and food) left the three willow trees and entered the boundless desert.

Old Halle, mounted on his camel, and two camels carrying clear water (these two camels, aside from carrying food and water, also had one other use, which was to make people hungry when they were in an accident. Without food and water, they would be slaughtered), followed by Lao Liu and the other two men.

Tieh Tu and Ye Xinshang were in the middle while Gao Fei and Qin Chengcheng were in the back.

An hour after walking out of the three willow trees, Teacher Qin treated this expedition as a 'honeymoon'. No matter how Tieh Tu and Gao Fei would think of her, they found an excuse and said she was' seasick 'and wanted to ride on the same camel as Gao Fei.

Gao Fei, who rarely spoke since he came to the northwest, did not refuse and just let her sit in front with his arms around her.

Although this camel wasn't as robust as the one Tieh Tu rode on, with a woman less than 100 pounds on her back, she didn't feel dissatisfied or tired. She still raised her head and advanced according to her original pace.

She was holding a beautiful young woman in her arms. As she rode a camel in the golden desert, she seemed to have a romantic and poetic feeling to her.

Qin Chengcheng leaned lazily against Gao Fei's chest, but there was happiness in her eyes as she kept taking pictures with her camera.

Occasionally, Tieh Tu would turn his head and look at her with cold eyes.

Because she didn't get a good night's rest and Gao Fei didn't talk much, Qin Chengcheng slowly felt tired. She hugged his arm and fell asleep amidst the monotonous ringing of the camel's bell.

Qin Chengcheng slept soundly. After an unknown period of time, she yawned and opened her eyes. The sun was already setting in the west. In the distant horizon, there was a barely discernible black line. It was unknown what it was.

Qin Chengcheng raised her chin and looked at Gao Fei. She asked lazily, "What time is it now?"

Gao Fei replied, "It's 5: 30 PM. You've been walking for a whole 5 hours and you've already slept for more than 3 hours."

"Oh, so I've been sleeping so long."

Qin Chengcheng sniffed with her nose and asked again, "Have we reached the ancient river channel of the Peacock River yet?"

The Peacock River originated from the Tianshan Mountains and flowed through Lake Boston into the Luo Bu Wasteland. It was the main water supply system in Luo Bu Lake. It was its existence that gave birth to the world-famous Lou Lan ancient country.

The Peacock River that was recorded was not the same as the one from two thousand years ago.

This time, Gao Fei and the others wanted to follow the ancient river that had long turned into a desert and head southeast.

A long distance away was the destination of their journey, Lou Lan.

According to the plan he had made, at noon on the 21st day, after riding on a camel and leaving the three willow trees, he would hurry up and travel in the desert for more than two days. At around the 23rd day (5pm), he would arrive near the Loulan Ruins and see the legendary 'Ghost City phenomenon'.

However, this plan of theirs was likely to be stranded.

Not long after Qin Chengcheng woke up, she heard Old Halle, who was at the front, let out an anxious "Oh, oh!".

"What's wrong with that old man?"

Qin Chengcheng asked with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, the camel on which she was riding leaped forward like a frightened wild horse, causing her to scream in fear. Then, together with Gao Fei, both of their bodies fell backwards.

Fortunately, this camel had two peaks and Gao Fei's reaction was fast enough. He immediately wrapped one of his arms around her waist and the other around the body tied to the camel, almost lying flat on the camel.

"Is this camel as crazy as the old man?"

Qin Chengcheng hugged Gao Fei's arm tightly and sat up looking ahead with a low voice. She saw those camels running towards the southeast behind Old Halle as if they had gone mad.

Although camels usually walked slowly, as if they were taking square steps, once they rushed, they did not lose to fast horses at all. The ten camels ran forward in a line, their hooves kicking up sand as if they were kicking up a sandstorm.

Qin Chengcheng didn't understand why these camels suddenly started running. Just when she was about to turn around and ask Gao Fei, she heard him whisper, "Stop talking, quickly put on your face mask and your goggles!"

As Gao Fei said this, he quickly took out a mask from his pocket and covered his mouth with it. Then, he took out a goggles and put it on his head.0

While modern people walked in the desert, masks and goggles were not as important as clear water, but they were still essential because they could protect one's breath and sight after the sandstorm.

After hearing Gao Fei's words, Qin Chengcheng finally understood. She quickly put on her mask and goggles and looked towards the sky.

The sky above them was still as bright as ever, with numerous white clouds in the sky. However, when Qin Chengcheng had just woken up, she saw a black line in the distance. Suddenly, a dense black cloud appeared.

The black cloud was very slow, and it seemed like it was a thousand miles away. However, Old Halle knew that in an hour, a huge sandstorm that could cover the entire city would arrive.

The camel, known as the boat of the desert, was keener at predicting the storm in the desert than humans, so it did not even need to be chased away as it ran forward with all its might.

Old Halle and the others tried to lean their bodies on the hump to reduce the resistance of the camels as they ran.

Qin Chengcheng was pressed tightly onto the hump by Gao Fei, the chest that made her proud was almost squashed into a cake, her breathing became more difficult. She couldn't help but shout out, "Gao Fei, you're going to crush me to death!"

Before Gao Fei answered, Tieh Tu, who was the last to last, suddenly turned around and shouted at them: "Gao Fei, quickly put this woman on another camel or you will fall behind!"

While the camel was' strolling 'in the desert, it carried Gao Fei and Qin Chengcheng on its back. It seemed that its speed was not affected in the slightest.

However, once they started to run, and it was this kind of hysterical running, it would be very difficult for the camel carrying the two of them to continue following the camel in front of them as it would definitely fall behind.

After the arrival of the sandstorm, even two people who spent most of their time walking in the desert would be in danger once they left the caravan, not to mention Gao Fei and Qin Chengcheng, who rarely set foot in the desert.

Therefore, I'm afraid that Tieh Tu, who fell behind, ordered Gao Fei and Qin Chengcheng to separate.

Before Gao Fei could react, he heard Qin Chengcheng scream, "No, I don't want to ride a camel alone!"
