Soon, it was noon. The camels were sweating and exhausted, and their speed was getting slower and slower.
"The camels can't run anymore. Let them rest for a while. You guys should eat something too. Don't save on water.”
Everyone stopped at the old man's shout.
After a whole morning of running, not only the camels could not stand it, but many people could not stand it either. As soon as they stopped, Professor Chen and the other people with weak constitutions directly lay on the ground and could not get up.
Zhang Lei, on the other hand, was completely fine. He was still in high spirits. As soon as he stopped, he glanced at Yang Xueli and saw that she was also completely fine. Clearly, her physical fitness was not bad.
Jianjun Hu and Fatty Wang weren't affected much, especially Fatty Wang, who was a chatterbox. He couldn't open his mouth after running for the whole morning, so he started to chatter non-stop when he stopped.
As the leader, Jianjun Hu was much more mature than him. He began to ask everyone if there was any problem.
Zhang Lei ignored them and looked into the distance. There seemed to be a faint dark yellow airflow slowly moving towards them from dozens of kilometers away.
"Not good, there's a trade wind. We can't rest anymore, we have to run for our lives.”
Although An Liman, who had been in the desert for his entire life, could not see the dark yellow airflow dozens of miles away due to his poor eyesight, he could feel the trade wind. He was so frightened that he stood up and forgot his mantra. He hurriedly pulled the exhausted camel, turned around, and rushed up. At the same time, he whipped the camel's butt.
The camel felt the pain, and it used its remaining strength to sprint away, not caring about the others.
The other members of the archeological team turned pale with fright. Even An Liman was frightened to this extent. How could they dare to continue resting? They dragged their tired bodies and hurriedly climbed onto their camels to run for their lives behind An Liman.
Jianjun Hu, Fatty, Xueli Yang, and the others also changed their expressions. They couldn't care less about anything else and quickly got on their camels to escape.
On the contrary, Zhang Lei became the last one.
However, Zhang Lei did not stop. He immediately mounted the camel and fled.
He knew very well that no matter if you were a hero or an ambitious person, no matter how strong your personal strength was, no matter how intelligent you were, in front of nature, you were just an ant.
It was impossible for human power to fight against nature!
However…
It was already too late.
They had only escaped for about a kilometer when the sky suddenly changed color. The originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and the breeze suddenly began to wreak havoc. A huge sandstorm instantly enveloped the land, and the team of ten people and twenty camels instantly disappeared.
"Damn it, why is the wind coming so fast?”
Zhang Lei, who was familiar with the plot, couldn't help but curse in his heart. When the wind blew, the world turned dark in an instant, and his vision was instantly reduced to only ten meters.
"F * ck, is this the difficulty of Nightmare Mode?”
He remembered that although the black storm in the original novel was very strong, it did not seem to be that strong. At least Professor Chen was found by Old Hu when he fell behind. Now, even Commander Hu could not protect himself, let alone save people.
"It seems that the glorious task of saving people will have to be completed by me.”Thinking of this, Zhang Lei immediately focused his attention on the front. As long as someone fell behind, he would immediately rescue them.
He wasn't a saint, but he had no choice. If someone died as soon as they entered, this archaeological team would probably return home very soon.
This was not what Zhang Lei wanted to see.
The reason was very simple. Although he had read the original work, the original work did not specify the specific route of Jingjue Ancient City. All the information about the route was in the hands of Yang Xueli.
Without this information, it was impossible for him to find Jingjue Ancient City alone.
Some people might say that Yang Xueli would work together, but without An Liman, even Zhang Lei, Chen Xueli, Hu Jianjun, and Fatty couldn't rely on the route information to reach Jingjue Ancient City.
The desert was not like the outside world. It was boundless and unfamiliar people could not find anything to refer to.
If he couldn't get to Jingjue City as soon as possible, even if he had to return to the original route and leave the desert safely, Zhang Lei wouldn't have the time to look for other treasures that could modify his eyes.
At that time, there would only be one outcome for him: He became blind.
In order to not become blind, he had to save people.
" I just hope that there aren't too many people left behind. One is fine, but two will be troublesome…"
"F * ck, pui, my f * cking jinx!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw two black shadows suddenly roll down from the camel's back.
Two people fell off the camel!
Zhang Lei didn't even have time to identify who it was. He hurriedly reined in the camel and jumped off.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time. The two black shadows did not roll far before he caught one of them.
Professor Chen!
The kind, knowledgeable, and obsessed old professor who had a strong research spirit was old and weak. How could he withstand such a bumpy ride? It was expected that he would fall.
Zhang Lei didn't say anything else. He checked him and saw that he was unconscious. He immediately carried him on his shoulder and turned around to rush to the other person who had fallen.
Yang Xueli?
Zhang Lei was slightly stunned. How could Yang Xueli fall down with such good physical fitness?
If it was Ye Yixin who fell, he would not be surprised at all. It was normal for this thin girl to not be able to withstand such a high-intensity escape method.
But now, she was fine. Instead, Yang Xueli had fallen.
However, Zhang Lei did not have the time to investigate the reason why Yang Xueli fell because she had already fainted.
He bent down and picked her up with one hand, then turned around and chased after the team.
At this moment, Zhang Lei finally felt the power of his body and strength after being reborn by the Crimson Core Divine Orb. He carried Professor Chen on one side and Yang Xueli on the other. He did not feel tired at all while carrying more than 200 kilograms of weight in this black sandstorm that others could not even stand steadily. His feet were as fast as flying, and he quickly caught up with the team.
This was no longer considered powerful. It seemed a little abnormal!
But the next moment, his smile froze.
