First line of life

Chapter 171 The Bones in the Desert
Early the next morning, I was woken up again by Fatty Liao: "Brother Li, it's time for breakfast. I heard that we are leaving after breakfast."

I looked at Fatty Liao's fat head and woke up immediately. When I went to the living room, I found that everyone was preparing to eat. Fatty Liao said that we were going to leave after eating. It seems that Tang Yong had already found it last night. Another suitable guide.

Although Lop Nur is said to be the second largest saltwater lake in my country, it dried up many years ago and has become a unique geographical phenomenon, salt crust, and the entire Lop Nur is surrounded by wasteland, either desert or Gobi.

Without a native guide, the chance of surviving in this wasteland is zero, and the most deadly thing is getting lost and being consumed to death in the endless wasteland.

Therefore, a guide is of absolute benefit to our operation.

We had a meal together, but everyone still didn’t talk much, it was Mr. Lin and Yang Xiong who told us that if we need something, we can roughly prepare it. I thought about it. I wanted a compass, but now I can’t find it at all. arrive.

I'm not very proficient in the compass now, maybe I can only simply identify the direction or something, so I didn't prepare before I came, but I don't need to worry about this problem.

After eating, seven of us went out of the resting place, and then I saw our guide, an old man in his 50s, named Mai Ti, and then all our equipment arrived at the camel back.

We brought twelve camels, one for each of the eight of us, and the other four camels brought us some supplies.

But at this moment, I saw Wu Jun and Tang Yong carrying something made of black cloth on their backs. My pupils shrank slightly. Is it a gun?And it should be a submachine gun, but this trip to Lop Nur actually brought these things?

However, getting these things in XJ should be considered a relatively simple matter, and I didn't pay too much attention to it.

At this time, I saw Yang Xiong also put a pistol on his body, and so did Fatty Liao, and at this time, I saw Yang Xiong walking over and asked me if I wanted this thing?

It was only at this time that I realized that I hadn't practiced before, and I didn't know how to use it at all. I'm afraid it's just a burden on me.

I simply let it go, saying that this thing is not suitable for me, but Fatty Liao seems to like these things very much. Li Xueer, who also didn't ask for a pistol with me, seems to be dismissive of these things at all .

I didn't care, after a while, all of us set off directly.

Leaving Lop Nur, we arrived at the exit soon, but Mai Ti got off the camel, and then the whole person knelt down in the direction of the wasteland.

As if he was still muttering something in his mouth, I asked Fatty Liao, why is this guy kneeling on the ground?
Fatty Liao turned his head to look at me, and told me that it should be a way of prayer. Hearing that these people entered the desert, they would pray to the gods in the desert they thought existed, so that they could return safely this time.

I nodded and looked at the camel under me. I was not used to riding a thing for the first time, and the speed of this thing was not fast. I was a little puzzled why I had to ride this thing into the desert. Isn’t it good to drive?
I asked Fatty Liao if he knew the way to go here. When I went out for the first time, I felt like a stunned young man who didn't know anything.

Fatty Liao smiled, explained to me aloud, and said, "You don't know that, this camel is also called the boat of the desert."

Afterwards, Fatty Liao told me that camels are different from other animals. They are particularly resistant to hunger and thirst. People can ride camels across the desert.

The reason why it has the reputation of "Desert Ship".It is because the camel's hump stores fat, which can be decomposed into the nutrients needed by the camel's body when the camel cannot get food, for the camel's survival needs.Camels can go without food for four or five days because of the fat in their humps.

In addition, there are many small bubbles in the shape of bottles in the camel's stomach, which is where the camel stores water. The water in these "bottles" makes the camel life-threatening even if it does not drink water for a few days.

After listening to Fatty Liao tell me so much, I suddenly realized that there are so many ways in it.

These things, if you don't experience them yourself, you really can't learn these things.

And at this time, I saw that Mai Ti, who was kneeling on the ground, also stood up and returned to the camel again. Along the way, Mai Ti also introduced some things in Lop Nur to us, but it didn't sound very interesting. .

On the contrary, I think Fatty Liao knows a lot and wanted to find out more, but he didn't tell me again.

Next, our goal is to keep moving forward, and as we started to go deeper, I just realized that the weather has started to get worse, and the sweat on my body is falling down.

I began to circulate the aura in my body to resist the heat, and after walking for a few boring hours, it was almost noon when I finally heard the news of rest, and everyone found a place to sit and rest under the Gobi up.

It happened that the sun was not shining here, we ate some dry food, drank some water, and then Maiti said to us.

"You guys rest here, I'll go up to a high place to see the weather and the road ahead."

Mai Ti always had a smile on his face, but the mandarin he spoke was a bit awkward, but luckily he could understand it.

After finishing speaking, Maiti left directly. At this time, I saw Lin Lao and Yang Xiong walked to the other side alone, and then a yellowed map appeared in Lin Lao's hands. Yang Xiong and Lin Lao seemed to be discussing wearing something.

Fatty Liao was chatting with Li Xueer casually, but it was a pity that Li Xueer just closed her eyes and ignored Fatty Liao beside her.

Fatty Liao, who had a bad nose, came to my side resentfully. Seeing this guy's embarrassment, I felt a little funny.

"Why? Ignore you?" Fatty Liao came to my side, and I hurriedly asked Fatty Liao, and Fatty Liao shook his head helplessly.

"Don't mention it, this girl is not easy to deal with. Fatty Master, I'm really on the hook." Fatty Liao looked unbelieving, and it seemed that he still didn't give up, so I didn't say anything.

I looked at Elder Lin and Yang Xiong, and found that they were still chatting about something, and I also saw Yang Xiong take out the Pisces Jade Pendant on his body, which was wrapped with the Shasha Talisman, which was wrapped by me.

My heart froze slightly. It seems that Yang Xiong and Lin Lao are the only ones who really know about this trip to Lop Nur, and our group of people are just their helpers.

After a while, Matty came back, and he told us that everything is normal and we can move on.

At this moment, Mr. Lin also moved his glasses, telling everyone to get on the camel after resting, and we continued to move forward.

After getting on the camel, under the leadership of Mai Ti, we continued to move towards the depths. This time, when it was getting dark, the setting sun was about to drown in this endless wasteland.

Suddenly, Matty in front exclaimed: "There seems to be something in front."

As Matt's voice fell, all of us moved a few steps forward and looked in the direction that Matt pointed.

There is a small black spot in that place, because the desert is all the color of yellow sand at a glance, so this black spot looks extremely conspicuous.

"Xiao Wu, go up and have a look!"

Elder Lin's complexion didn't change, and then he said to Wu Jun beside him, Wu Jun got off the camel without saying a word, the black spot was only a hundred meters away from us, so he ran forward on foot.

We watched Wu Jun approaching the black spot continuously. When Wu Jun approached the black spot, Wu Jun's high voice came.

"Professor, there is no danger, it is a bone!"

Bones?Hearing this, all of us were slightly taken aback, how could a white bone suddenly appear in this desert?
