Chapter 628 (1/2)

Cheng Luo doesn't know Zhou Qiang's mind. She leans on her sleeping bag and falls asleep.

……

A night passed.

It's coldest in the desert when it's almost dawn. I have the illusion of sleeping in the ice and snow. Que Qiu opened his sleeping bag and almost lost his eyes by the sand leaking from it. He sat up and found that the sky that should have gradually brightened had not changed at all. It was still like late at night. The cold wind howled, and the camels crowded together began to agitate. Que Qiu opened the water bag and drank water. He went outside for a walk and found Professor Wu was up and sitting outside I brush my teeth with my pony.

”Professor Wu.” Que Qiu nodded to say hello.

Professor Wu's face looked much better than yesterday. He waved his hand to him, gargled and said, ”hard work, guide.”

After a few words of conversation, the team members came out of the tent one after another. After washing, they ate some biscuits and were ready to set out. However, they hesitated and asked que Qiu, ”why does it seem that there is still no daylight?”

It's already half past seven. In any case, it shouldn't be as dark as it is now.

”The black sandstorm is expected to come in two days. Today, it is estimated that we can't reach the target point. We have to go to the ancient oasis city to avoid the black sandstorm before we can go through hull shoal to the imperial city. We have to make a big circle.”

Zhou Qiang asked, ”why? In a few days, it doesn't mean that the weather will be worse, our speed will slow down again, and there won't be enough supplies. ” Other assistants protested, asking why they had to stay.

Que Qiu still explained faintly: ”because we can't get there today, we planned to go through the black death road today. There are no machines and compasses. We can only distinguish the direction by our eyes, and the black sand storm covers the clouds and the sun. It's like we can't distinguish the direction on a night without stars and moon. When the black sand storm comes, everyone will die. Now we have to find a shelter first. Moreover, it is because of the shortage of materials that we need to go to the oasis for supplies. Do you forget that so many of us are using miss Tianmiao's water alone. Do you really think Miss Tianmiao's water can support us all to our destination? ”
