Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 28 Encounter
Due to the butterfly effect, Feng Sijiu couldn't guarantee that the environment he was in was safe, so he didn't dare to follow him to sleep.

Hearing the whistling wind and sand blowing in his ears, Feng Sijiu just kept silent, hiding in the darkness, slowly waiting for the time to pass. Originally, he thought that the black sandstorm would not subside at least until tomorrow morning.

But who would have thought that by four or five o'clock in the morning, the sound of the strong wind outside had gradually diminished. Although it hadn't stopped yet, it was much weaker than before.

Of course, this kind of weakness is only for Feng Sijiu. If Professor Chen's thin body goes out, he will be blown down by the wind if he doesn't keep it neat.

After turning on the flashlight and seeing that Professor Chen was still asleep, Feng Sijiu put on the goggles, put a scarf around his mouth and nose, and then left the cabin.

Although the wind and sand are getting smaller now, strands of yellow sand are still blowing straight at people's faces, making goggles rattling.

Looking at the dark surroundings, Feng Sijiu found that several broken walls had been completely buried by yellow sand, and he was a little worried that something happened to the two camels.

Turning on the flashlight and facing the wind all the way, Feng Sijiu quickly came to the back of the broken wall, only to see that the two camels were still there, but they were lying on their knees in the sand.

The flashlight shined on it, and only the head, most of the back and the hump were still exposed. If the black sandstorm continued to blow like this, it is estimated that the two camels would all be buried in the yellow sand.

Reaching out and taking the only engineering shovel from the camel's back, Feng Sijiu quickly dug away the yellow sand that had accumulated around the camel.

After clearing the yellow sand for a large circle, the camels had already exposed their bellies, so Feng Sijiu was relieved, this time it should be able to hold out until the black sandstorm passed.

Feng Sijiu originally wanted to look around to see where there was light, after all he knew that Hu Bayi and the others could have fuel to burn, but he scanned around with the flashlight and found that the surrounding dilapidated houses and walls were still densely packed with darkness .

Helpless, he had no choice but to let it go. After returning to the wooden house, Feng Sijiu continued to wait boringly for the sandstorm to really leave.

A loud sound of an angry rooster crowing spread in the dilapidated house, and Professor Chen finally regained his energy this time and woke up from sleep.

It was already past seven o'clock in the morning, but it was still dark outside, and there was no sign of sunshine.

However, Feng Sijiu knew very well that the wind force of this black sandstorm was many times weaker than before, and it was not far from the end.

"Xiao Feng, you haven't slept all night, have you?"

Seeing that after waking up, Feng Sijiu was still lighting up with a flashlight next to him as before, Professor Chen couldn't bear it.

"No, I fell asleep earlier, and I just woke up when I heard the rooster crowing."

Feng Sijiu didn't answer truthfully, fearing that Professor Chen would say something again, but to be honest, even if he didn't sleep for a whole day, his current physique had almost no effect

With a pot of water, both of them ate some jerky, and waited bitterly for the black sandstorm to pass. During this time, Professor Chen kept asking about Feng Sijiu's experience in Gutian County.

From time to time, he said enviously that Lao Sun had found a good student, although Feng Sijiu had developed a talent for lying.

But it was almost necessary to reveal his secrets. Fortunately, he always answered that he didn't know much when he was just getting started, so he answered with such a panacea, and he dealt with it one by one.

During the conversation like this, time passed slowly, and the black sandstorm outside gradually disappeared, and the sun was about to come out.

It was already dim outside at this time, and at this moment, the two gazelles that had been lying in the corner seemed to have gone mad and rushed towards Professor Chen.

Seeing this, Feng Sijiu had quick eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly pulled Professor Chen who was squatting at the exit and looking out cautiously aside.

At this moment, the two gazelles had already rushed out of the wooden house, and one of the horns was so long that it even stood against the wooden beam at the exit.

Just at this moment, a lot of fine sand fell from the wooden roof. Feng Sijiu hurriedly closed his eyes when he saw this, and Professor Chen was wearing goggles, so he was not affected much.

On the contrary, Feng Sijiu's strength just now was a bit too strong, causing Professor Chen to stumble to the ground, and at this time he was swaying and trying to get up.

Seeing the two gazelles running in panic, Feng Sijiu couldn't care less about helping the old man at the moment, he had a premonition that it was no longer safe inside.

"Not good! Professor, we have to get out of here quickly."

Put on the goggles and squat all the way to throw the brought in materials out of the house.

Then he pulled on the straps of the chicken coop, and without bothering to explain to Professor Chen, grabbed the old man and crawled towards the exit.

Feng Sijiu almost dragged Professor Chen out of the wooden house and carried the chicken coop on his back. Although there was still wind blowing outside, it was already without any lethality.

Seeing animals running out of the dilapidated wooden houses around, and even rampaging, the remnant city that was a safe haven before seems to have turned into a ghost city.

Animals were fleeing here one by one, and at this moment, groups of black ants began to crawl out of the surrounding yellow sand.

Feng Sijiu almost dragged Professor Chen all the way to the remnant wall where the camel was placed. After pulling up the camel, the two rode on it.

Seeing that the surroundings were already in chaos at this moment, Feng Sijiu was just wondering which direction to run.

Hearing a gunshot from the west, Feng Sijiu was overjoyed, rode a camel to lead the way, and ran quickly to the place where the gunshot came from.

An Liman, who was about to escape by himself, calmed down instantly after Wang Kaixuan shot his hat off. At this time, Hu Bayi was helping everyone climb up from the wooden house.

When he was in a hurry, he saw a fat queen ant running out of the sand wall. Wang Kaixuan shot at it, but the caliber of the gun was too small to kill the queen ant directly.

Hu Bayi hurriedly took off the scarf used to block wind and sand, wrapped the remaining solid fuel in the scarf, took out the lighter and lit a corner of the scarf, using it as an incendiary bomb, and smashed it from the roof to the ant queen below. .

There was a breakthrough for the colony of ants. Seeing this opportunity, the group of people ran out after taking advantage of the ant army's encirclement.
The people climbed onto the camels and urged the camel team to run out of the city. From time to time, there would be various wild beasts rushing past them, all of them were fleeing for their lives, just in this chaotic time.

Hu Bayi suddenly heard someone calling them from behind. At first he thought that someone had fallen behind, so he turned his head to look, but saw two camels running in their direction between a piece of ruined wall.

Not only Hu Bayi heard it, but almost everyone heard it.

"Ah! Yes, it's Brother Feng and the professor."

Ye Yixin almost shouted these words.

Listening to the movement of the black sandstorm outside last night, almost everyone couldn't fall asleep. After all, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable when they thought that Professor Chen and Feng Sijiu might have died.

But now it can be seen that Feng Sijiu and Professor Chen returned safe and sound, and the atmosphere that was still nervous about running for their lives turned into joy.

The camel team ran for hundreds of meters, and the dilapidated ruins of the ancient city were almost invisible, so the camels slowed down.

Everyone was very happy when Feng Sijiu took Professor Chen back to the army again. Hao Aiguo and Ye Yixin, who were assistants to Professor Chen, had already wiped away tears when they saw Professor Chen reappear alive.

"Okay, okay, before seeing the ancient city of Jingjue, my old man will not die, but thanks to Xiao Feng, otherwise my old bones will really be buried under the yellow sand."

Professor Chen was surrounded by several people riding a camel. Seeing the red and swollen eyes, he tried to comfort them.

After hearing this, Hao Aiguo and others hurriedly looked at Feng Sijiu.

"That's what I was supposed to do."

"Thank you, thank you Brother Feng."

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at Feng Sijiu with strange eyes, even scrutiny.

"Old Hu? You say this guy is really engaged in archaeology? The gap between them is too big."

Hu Bayi naturally knew what Wang Kaixuan meant, and to be able to escape from that situation, to be honest, even he himself couldn't do it.

Just like if they didn't meet the white camel, the consequences would be disastrous, so he was very curious.

"Professor, what happened when you fell behind?"
