Upon hearing the orders from Peter Lee via the walkie-talkie, Nabari and Salem drove Car No. 1 like a wild horse.

”Ten, nine, eight, seven...three, two, one! Car Number Four, depart!”

After waiting for 10 seconds, Zhang Zian, who got the order to go, stepped on the gas pedal and rushed out, chasing the smoke emitted by Car No. 1.

”Ten, nine, eight, seven...three, two, one! Car Number Five, depart!”

Another car waited for 10 seconds before following Car No. 4 and driving out of the village.

Zhang Zian rolled down the car window. The children who had not left waved goodbye to him. He only rolled up the window after he could no longer see the village.

Thirteen cars set off one after another. The distance between each car was about 10 seconds. This was Peter Lee's idea.

Driving in the desert, one should worry less about losing the car in front but fear driving too close. The cars naturally kicked up tons of dust and sand. Get too close and it would be impossible to make out anything else.

In particular, the road conditions near the Siwa Oasis were not very bad. Every car was driving at a high speed to save time. Therefore, there needed to be enough braking distance to guard against any unexpected situations. Once they entered the desert, the cars would all slow down, and the distance between each car would be reduced.

Although Zhang Zian's car was number four, he was in the second position while driving, followed by Nabari's car.

The convoy was long. As the respective captains of each team, Peter Lee and Wei Kang took the No. 2 and No. 3 cars and drove in the center of the team. This was to prevent loss of communication and to reach everyone on the team.

The mighty 13 high-powered off-road vehicles were like an unruly dragon screaming into the desert.

Each car was loaded with enough supplies to sustain a person to survive in the desert for 15 days. If food and water quotas were set, it was more than enough to sustain each person for 30 days.

Everyone was filled with optimism. From time to time, people sang in different languages ​​across the common communication channel, from American country songs to European folk songs and Chinese public dance songs. People were cheering and laughing.

Although the public channel was meant for regular reporting of current situations or to report special circumstances, as this was the beginning, there seemed to be no danger yet. There was also no need for regular timely reporting. Therefore, no one bothered to break up the party on the channel.

Both Peter Lee and Wei Kang were feeling confident. Even if they didn't achieve their goals, at least they could safely return home.

To be honest, even Zhang Zian, who'd lacked confidence before departing, was amazed to see such a spectacular team. He came to the conclusion that perhaps he was worrying unnecessarily. Also, his self-confidence was raised to the extreme, not to mention the rest of the team.

Even Famous joined the party and barked on the intercom to sing a song. It made everyone laugh.

The only one who was calm was probably Nabari.
