After preparing everything they needed to enter the desert, the archeological team could not wait to embark on their journey to the desert.
An Liman had selected twenty camels that were loaded with all kinds of supplies.
There were bean cakes and salt for the camels, equipment, food, and water for the archeological team, and some equipment and facilities that they had purchased.
Speaking of bean cake and salt, Fatty even made a joke.
He actually wanted to snatch food from the camel.
The team formed by Wishing and the others was not so much an archaeological team as a camel team from ancient times.
The amount of food they carried was enough to last them for about a month, and the amount of water they had was enough to last them for more than half a month.
On the way, there were a few oases and underground rivers that could replenish fresh water.
In addition,
Wishing specially asked the locals what was the best thing to quench their thirst in the desert. After listening to the locals 'suggestions, he prepared a few bags of yogurt soup.
This was because he knew from the local population that this thing was a treasure in the desert. When he was too thirsty, a mouthful of yogurt soup was worth ten mouthfuls of water.
Two days after they set off, Ye Yixin, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng were in high spirits.
It was their first time entering the desert, and they felt that it was both fresh and fun. Along the way, they chased each other, played, sang, and took photos. It was as if this journey was a relaxing tour.
However, they did not know that this was only the periphery of the desert.
Some of the archeological team members had been washing their hands and faces with water for the past few days, so the water resources were used up very quickly. If it wasn't for the fact that the road that Wish and the others were on wasn't considered a desert, and that the riverbeds in some areas hadn't completely dried up, there were small lakes and oceans everywhere, which could replenish the water resources in time, most of the fresh water would have been used up long ago.
The group walked for another three days. That night, they made a wish that they had finally arrived at the Holy Tomb Mountain in the original movie. Then, they rested on the spot.
"Old Hu, I think you should ask Uncle An Liman where you can find a water source.”Wishing One said to Hu Bayi.
"Yes, Old Hu, the water has been consumed too quickly in the past few days.”Wang Kaixuan added.
" Sigh…" Hu Bayi glanced at the archeological team and sighed." I'll ask Uncle An Liman where we can get fresh water."”
Hu Bayi got up and went to find An Liman who was feeding the camels. He came back after a while and said that An Liman had agreed to find a place to replenish his water.
Everyone ate some food and set off. Because the sun was too strong during the day, they all traveled at night and rested during the day.
Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight rose from the eastern horizon, reflecting the clouds in the sky red, as red as blood.
The sand dunes in the desert and the scattered poplar trees were all covered in a layer of multicolored light.
This scene was extremely magnificent and shocking.
An Liman, who was walking in front of Wishing and Hu Bayi, immediately stopped and walked towards a sand dune at the side. Wishing and Hu Bayi looked at each other and walked over as well.
"The morning glow does not leave the house, but the evening glow travels ten thousand miles.”
Hu Bayi looked at the blood-red morning glow in the sky.
" Old Hu," Wish reminded with a frown," we have to leave quickly. The desert is probably going to get windy soon."”
"Comrade Xu is right. The wind is indeed about to blow."”
When Hu Bayi heard An Liman say the same thing, he quickly ran back to tell the others about this matter. Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately expressed that they would listen to Hu Bayi.
"Old Hu, is An Liman trying to scare us? Otherwise, what is he doing there?”Wang Kaixuan pointed at An Liman, who was kowtowing.
At this moment, a breeze blew across the dunes.
"Let's go, the wind is rising."
Feeling the breeze, Wishing saw that the sky had turned dark and immediately reminded him loudly.
An Liman, who was kowtowing, also rolled up his blanket and ran towards the camel while shouting,"Run, run!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the reminder. Then, they were called back to their senses by An Liman and immediately ran towards the camel.
Wishing and the others got on their camels and ran towards the West Night Ancient City ruins. The sky, which was still sunny a moment ago, was covered by thick clouds in the blink of an eye.
Behind them, the sky was covered by the rolling yellow sand that was blown up by the strong wind.
The yellow sand was blown into their faces by the strong wind, causing them to feel pain. Everyone immediately put on goggles and covered their noses and mouths with headscarves to prevent the yellow sand from entering.
The camel under him also sensed the danger. It didn't need anyone to urge it, and like a madman, it shook its four big hooves and ran wildly in the desert.
Wishing lay on the hump and held on tightly.
What he was most worried about now was that someone would be thrown off by the camel like in the original movie. After all, the physical fitness of the archeologists was really not good, and the camel was running too fast.
It was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen in this degree of turbulence.
"Little brother, there seems to be one person missing.”
The group of people ran in the sandstorm for a few hours before Hu Bayi suddenly shouted at them.
"Old Hu, I'm going to find Professor Chen. You and Fatty keep an eye on An Liman, don't let him escape.”
Wishing's heart skipped a beat. The thing he was most worried about had indeed happened. He glanced at everyone and confirmed that Professor Chen, who had the worst physical fitness, had fallen behind.
"Alright, be careful."
Hu Bayi replied loudly. Then, under his worried gaze, he made a wish and got off the camel. He quickly disappeared from his sight.
As soon as Wish left, An Liman acted like in the original movie. He didn't care if the archeological team behind him could keep up. He rode his camel and ran wildly, pulling away from the archeological team by a large distance.
"Fatty!"
Hu Bayi came to Fatty's side. He didn't care if Fatty could hear him or not. He pointed at An Liman in front of him.
"Damn it, this damn old man is really unreliable!”
"I didn't pay attention and actually ran so far away!
Wang Kaixuan was also anxious. His expression was ruthless. He quickly urged his camel to move and loaded the shotgun in his hand. He quickly chased after them.
He made a wish and went back the way he came. After running for a few minutes, he still couldn't find any trace of Professor Chen. After running for nearly a hundred meters, he finally saw half a figure under a sand dune.
It was Professor Chen.
"Comrade…Comrade Xu!"
More than half of Professor Chen's body had been buried by the sand, and he was unable to break free.
Wishing hurriedly ran over, hugged Professor Chen's upper body, and pulled him out like a carrot.
It was all thanks to his strong physique. If it were anyone else, it would have taken a lot of effort to dig out Professor Chen.
Professor Chen was still alive, but he was frightened.
When he saw the wish, he was so excited that he couldn't hold it in and fainted.
This almost frightened Wish. He thought that Professor Chen had just ascended to heaven.
