"That makes sense! Everyone, hurry up and run."
"The wind is tight."
"These army ants are too difficult to deal with. Let's run faster.”
“……”
As Qin Mu's voice fell, everyone ran forward.
Soon, they had left the nest of the army ants.
However, due to the long escape time, the people in the team felt a little thirsty, especially with the sun above their heads. As for their water sources, most of them were left in the ancient city ruins. The only ones they took out were drunk. If this continued, they might not die in the hands of the army ants, but die of thirst.
"F * ck, I can't take it anymore! Why don't we go back and snatch all the water bags back? If this continues, we'll really die of thirst.”Fatty raised his shotgun and said angrily.
"I'll go with you."
"I'll go too."
A few young people in the archeological team also responded.
Hearing their words, Qin Mu said,""Alright, stop causing trouble. If you have the time, why don't you continue walking? Perhaps you can find a water source? Going back now is no different from courting death. And most importantly, do you think those army ants will leave the water bag for you? They would have been eaten clean long ago.”
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to wait for death? Old Qin." Fatty said in despair.
He naturally knew that Qin Mu was right.
Even if he went back now, those water bags would probably be long gone.
But what other choice did they have? Finding a water source in the desert was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Even with the old guide, An Liman, it was difficult for them to find it. Moreover, the black sandstorm had just passed, and the terrain in the desert had already changed.
Under such circumstances.
It was even more difficult to find a water source. He would probably die of thirst before they could find a water source.
"Who says we can only wait for death? If my observation is correct, there should be a water source ahead. We should be able to see it after advancing a little longer. When the time comes, you'll naturally be able to drink to your heart's content.”Qin Mu said indifferently.
"What is it? Old Qin, are you joking?”
"That's right! Brother Mu, how can you be so sure that there is a water source ahead? If not, wouldn't we have come here for nothing?”
"Is there really water ahead?"
“……”
When everyone heard Qin Mu's words, they couldn't help but become suspicious.
They couldn't be blamed, mainly because what Qin Mu said was a little too godly. Even though he had always been very powerful, especially when he had saved them from danger many times, martial strength and survival skills in the desert were two different things!
How could he be sure that there was a water source ahead?
Even the old guide An Liman couldn't be sure of something, but Qin Mu, a person who had just come to the desert, was actually able to confirm it. This was truly a little bizarre.
"It doesn't matter how I know. Anyway, I told you that there's a water source ahead. If you believe me, you can follow me. "Or you can continue to stay here and find a water source by yourself. Of course, you can also choose to fight those army ants with your life. However, I can be sure of one thing. If you really do that, you will only be sending yourself to death.”
Qin Mu's voice fell.
He continued walking forward.
Xue Li Yang followed closely behind, followed by Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang.
Seeing this, the remaining people were tempted.
"I believe in Brother Mu. I will go with you.”
"Me too. Since Big Brother Qin Mu said that there's a water source ahead, then there must be one.”
"In any case, following Brother Mu is much safer than going back. Moreover, those army ants will not leave the water behind.”
“……”
After pondering for a moment.
The people in the group had already followed Qin Mu's footsteps and walked forward.
An hour passed.
However, there was still no trace of the water source. Seeing this, An Liman complained,"I told you not to enter the desert during this season, but you didn't listen. We're really going to die of thirst. It was simply impossible to find a water source in such a godforsaken place!”
"An Liman, are you done? Do you believe that I will beat you up?" Fatty Wang said with some anger.
He was already a little thirsty.
Just as he was worrying about not having a place to vent his anger, this An Liman actually kept nagging. It just happened that Fatty found a place to vent his anger.
"What does it have to do with me? Am I wrong? To tell you the truth, based on my many years of experience in the desert, it's absolutely impossible to find water in this kind of place. Look for yourself, there's no vegetation around, nor are there any traces of animals. This meant that there was no water in this place. Animals and plants were the reference for finding water in the desert. They were much more sensitive than our noses.”As An Liman spoke, he gestured for everyone to look around.
As expected,
The surroundings were covered in yellow sand.
They couldn't see any signs of animals or plants. Could it be that it was really as the old fellow said, that Qin Mu had brought them to the wrong place?
Just as everyone was feeling suspicious.
"An Liman, why don't we make a bet?" Qin Mu asked.”
"Bet? Alright! I, An Liman, love betting with people. Tell me, what do you want to bet on?”An Liman was immediately interested.
"I bet with you on the water source. I guarantee that if we continue walking, we will definitely find traces of the water source in less than fifteen minutes. If you can't find it, when we get out of the desert, I'll give you all the 100,000 dollars I earned from this trip. But if you find it, you have to give me all your commission. How about it? Do you dare to bet?" Qin Mu said coldly.
"Hahaha, bet, of course I have to bet. Since you gave me the money for free, what reason do I have to not want it? No problem, I'll bet with you! I guarantee that there will be no water source on this road.”An Liman agreed to the bet without hesitation.
In his opinion, there was no water source on this road.
Thus, Qin Mu would definitely lose.
At this moment, he could already see 100,000 dollars in his wallet.
