Invincibility starts from pawn super power

Chapter 103 Boulder, Oasis

After two days of trekking, You Wangxin and You Wangxin finally approached Moji.

The so-called "approaching", in fact, there is still a long mountain road to go.

The terminal station of the train is in Huanshan City, and the rest of the journey over the mountains and mountains depends on taking minibuses.

The mountain roads are rugged and narrow, and ordinary motor vehicles are simply not up to the task of transporting passengers and explorers. On the contrary, this special narrow and long bus can barely climb over.

Three times a day, one hundred times per person, no deception.

The energy of the local tyrant Jincan is indeed not small. He has arranged a special bus for the two of them long ago, and also prepared some necessary high-end adventure supplies.

Luxurious sleeping bags, assembled folding tents, compass, satellite phone... everything is available.

As for the compressed biscuits, dried vegetables and drinking water, they were also stored in a hotel in Wangmoji.

"I said, Lin Xi, you're a good dad. You clearly know that there are two of us, so you only prepared a set of folding tents."

Generous on the surface, but stingy in the details.

Its heart is awkward!

You Wangxin snickered and complained, not paying attention to Jin Linxi's rolled eyes.

"Two people? When will you release Ruotong sister?

The tent was a bit small, but we two girls could barely squeeze in. "

Jin Linxi responded indifferently, and secretly complained in her heart that her father was unreliable.

"Her—wait for now, I communicated with her just now, let's talk about it after entering the Desert of the Dead."

"Then who will carry these supplies?"

"..."

The two communicated in low voices, sometimes talking about serious things, and sometimes talking about things that were not serious.

The specially-made bus has no windows around, and a rain cloth is placed on the roof to keep out the shade.

The middle-aged driver in charge of driving turned a deaf ear to the conversation between the two, never took the initiative to speak along the way, and strictly abided by his duty in the service industry.

After passing the crater in Huanshan City, the passing road gradually became flat, but it also became desolate.

The continuous dry air waves of the Desert of the Dead blew on the hillside, and wiped out most of the young vegetation.

In the beginning, You Wangxin would look at the peculiar landforms of the crater in novelty, and occasionally raised his mobile phone to take two photos as souvenirs.

But after a long time, there will always be visual fatigue, especially the same skinny and rocky.

After traveling for another four hours, the minibus finally stopped at Wangmoji at nine o'clock at night.

According to the original itinerary, the two planned to rest at the hotel for one night before entering the Desert of the Dead, but seeing the inexplicable tension in the town, they decided to leave overnight.

The tense atmosphere comes from the unprovoked death of an innkeeper.

According to rumors, a couple of explorers had their belongings stolen in the guest room, and the female explorer was aggressive in the ensuing quarrel.

The boss, who really couldn't bear the abuse, choked back, never thought that the male explorer would grab the fire shovel outside the store door and hack it down.

That's how the tragedy happened. The residents who came to watch the excitement dispersed, and the law enforcement team who came soon blocked all the hotels.

There are only two law enforcement officers stationed in Wangmoji, and it is impossible to effectively control the place, and even the two explorers who committed the murder have not been captured.

The news of asking for help from the surrounding towns has already occurred, and the reinforcements of the law enforcement team may arrive here at any time.

How clever it is, how clever it is.

This is the hotel arranged by the big boss Jin Canjin, and the supplies are also stored in this hotel.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, and to cope with the upcoming investigation of the town, the two bought necessary drinking water and food at the roadside shop, and went straight to the desert of the dead.

Traveling in the desert at night was an extremely unreliable thing.

However, the full moon hangs high above your head, and you are walking along the dead Populus euphratica branches on the outer edge of the desert. As long as you don't encounter sudden severe sandstorms, don't worry too much.

There are no roads in the desert, and when there are many people walking, it becomes a road.

It turns out that the cool evening rush is a wise choice.

After the bus bumped all the way, they couldn't wait to move their curled legs and feet, and walked slowly on the outer edge of the desert. It was a blessing.

After leaving Wangmoji, the sandstone rocks on the ground gradually became broken and tiny, but their edges and corners disappeared little by little.

There are black craters looming behind him, and the front is a vast expanse of gray and white.

The desert is as sandy as snow.

During the first ten miles or so, there was no need to identify the dead Populus euphratica, as the traces of walking on the ground were extremely obvious.

Countless footprints, discarded food packaging, broken canes and other debris can be seen everywhere, and they can also guide the way forward.

Gradually, the gravel on the soles of their feet felt a slight sinking feeling, and the speed of the two slowed down imperceptibly.

The two kept walking in silence, reducing the frequency of speaking as much as possible.

According to the map, if you continue to walk along the current road for three hours, you will see the first small oasis.

The oasis is hidden behind a conspicuous boulder wall, each about 30 meters in length and width, and it is a small resting place that cannot be smaller.

This huge stone-like wall is a section of the city wall of an ancient city-state.

According to legend, 3000 years ago, there was a splendid city-state culture there, and the area of ​​the oasis was dozens of times larger than it is now.

Tens of thousands of people live there, the folk customs are tough and martial, and the commerce and trade are also very developed.

But more than 2000 years ago, there was a civil strife for some reason, and most of the huge city-state was burned down by a fire.

After a period of time, there was a rapid decline, and even the area of ​​the oasis was decreasing year by year. Now, there is only a square inch of land left.

This square inch of land can withstand the invasion of desertification, but also thanks to an ancient stone well.

Around Shijing, three sturdy Populus euphratica with luxuriant branches and leaves are surrounded in a zigzag shape, enclosing the hope of living beings surviving in the desert.

Because of its small size, no one lives here.

Travelers and animals in the desert can get a simple rest here, and it is a recognized neutral place.

You Wangxin and Jin Linxi stopped and went, stopping to rest for a while every half hour.

Using the short three to five minutes, the two repeated the same action.

He took a sip of water, spread out the map to roughly estimate his current location, and then made continuous gestures at the place marked by the three trees.

Walking in the desert, and at night when the vision is not clear, every deviation may cause mistakes.

……

The repeated action was carried out five times, and the oasis was not far away.

At this time, both You Wangxin and You Wangxin felt waves of exhaustion and drowsiness, and they could already vaguely see the huge stone wall glowing with moonlight in front of them.

As long as you persist for another half hour, you can rush to the oasis to rest there for the night.

The moment he saw the boulder, Jin Linxi, who had been bored for a long time, suddenly showed joy, and took two quick steps and tugged on his companion's sleeve. He was about to cheer but was covered by a palm full of salt.

At the same time, there was an extremely low order.

"Hush! There's something weird about the oasis ahead."

Jin Linxi immediately calmed down, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked around the boulder carefully.
