Chapter 1257 Goodwill

Since we cannot find the identity of the owner of this car and the purpose of going deep into the desert, we can only ignore it and continue our own itinerary.

After inspection, Wei Kang's car's engine was seriously damaged when it was trapped in quicksand. It could not be repaired by existing conditions and could not be dragged out of the desert, so it had to be abandoned here.

Everyone distributed supplies and equipment to other cars, while Wei Kang and Du Xuetao took the same car. Anyway, they were both thin, which combined was about the same weight as Xiao Tianyu.

Before leaving, Wei Kang suddenly called everyone and said, "Wait a minute, we can't just leave like this."

"What else?" Li Pitt asked.

Wei Kang pointed to the car that was burned into the quicksand, "You can't let the car park there, otherwise if there are other people passing by, such as another scientific expedition team or oil exploration workers, they will definitely go to rescue and investigate like us, and they may also fall into the quicksand and encounter unexpected problems..."

Everyone was silent. This was indeed a problem. The off-road vehicle half buried in the quicksand was like a dangerous flame trap, attracting people like moths.

If they hadn't seen this car and wanted to see what happened, they wouldn't have lost Wei Kang's car.

The depths of the desert are indeed rare, but it is not a vacuum. There will always be scientific expedition teams, oil exploration workers, and explorers entering. In order to avoid other people from encountering the same danger, it is necessary to deal with the car.

But how to deal with it?

Everyone thought of a way to tie a spare traction rope to a small piece of heavy object and then throw it towards the car. Since the glass of the car is completely broken, as long as the traction rope is wrapped or hooked to the steel skeleton or frame inside the car body, and then drag it with another car, the quicksand will complete the rest of the work.

The car, which had been parked for unknown amounts, was dragged, and the quicksand around it was disturbed, revealing its hideous face and liquefied again.

Everyone cut off the traction rope.

In full view of everyone, quicksand opened its mouth and completely swallowed up the wreckage of the car.

Not long after, the quicksand calmed down and no trace of a car that had been stuck here could be seen again.

As for Wei Kang's car, the appearance is still intact. They closed the doors and windows tightly, but they were not locked. They wrote shocking words with markers on the inside of the windshield - be careful! There is quicksand in front!

In addition to English, everyone also writes the same words in other languages ​​to warn those who are later.

This is the greatest kindness they can release.

After the handling is done properly, everyone will set out again.

Go on the road - rest - go on the road again. When everyone is familiar with this cycle to the point of being numb, Nabarri's slightly nervous voice comes from the walkie-talkie.

"We're nearby, near the Sea of ​​Devils."

arrive?

Everyone woke up from numbness and did not understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment.

Finally arrived at the final destination of this operation, the depression marked on the sheepskin map, an area called the Sea of ​​Devils by the Bedouin?

Everyone stopped the car.

Before we knew it, it was evening again.

Nabari stood on a slightly tall sandbag, looking into the distance, muttering prayers constantly, but his eyes were full of helplessness, because he knew that even the true god had abandoned this land.

Everyone jumped out of the car, ran to Nabari, and looked along his vision.

Here is the junction of two completely different landforms. The desert they drove past was like waves, parallel dunes, high and low, large and small, but from here, the magnificent dunes disappeared, and the surface showed a peculiar honeycomb-shaped small dunes, which they had never seen similar landscapes before.

Between the honeycomb sand dunes, miniature whirlwinds were whimpering, rolling up a small amount of fine sand to move together, like a fuzzy yellow figure walking around the grave.

Apart from that, no one can feel the wind.

The terrain shows a less obvious downward trend, which should be a large depression on the map.

The good news is that the sand here seems to be tighter, between the desert and the Gobi Desert, and you won't step on one step or another.

Many years ago, this place might have been an oasis, and until now you can still see dead trees struggling to emerge from the sand and waving their ugly twisted branches.

The possibility of man-made buildings here has increased, because there are oasises that can lead to human activities, and this is especially true for large-scale projects.

Tight sand may also indicate that deeper underground areas are solid soil or rocks, and even after the oasis is desertified, some dark springs or rivers still exist deep underground that have not yet dried up.

Just a few steps ahead of everyone, a pair of white bones of large animals were revealed in the yellow sand. The white bones were not complete, and only a long spine was left. They didn't look like camels, maybe cattle, sheep, donkeys and other livestock, or maybe large beasts living in oasis lakes, such as hippos.

The ancient Egyptians used cattle to plow the land, donkeys to transport, and sheep to trample seeds, but there were no camels. The camels were brought in by the Bedouin people after the demise of ancient Egypt.

Nabarri spread his hands and said, "I can only take you here. Going further forward is the devil's territory. If you want to go, you can only leave by yourself. But I advise you to stop here. No matter how important the secret is, it is not worth taking risks with your life."

Everyone heard it, but most people didn't take it to heart. After all, they had gone through a lot of hardships to arrive here. If they just went back like this, why did they come?

Especially those who like Li Pitt, they are mentally prepared and have more tenacious will. Of course, they cannot be scared away by Nabari's just a few unfounded words.

Zhang Zi'an looked back and surprised him that He He also seemed calm this time. Although she was a little scared after seeing the animal's bones and hearing Nabarri's warning, she did not lose her composure yet. Maybe she had grown up during the journey?

Wei Kang didn't plan to go deep into the sea of ​​devils, he was more concerned about where Nabari encountered those cats.

Nabari shook his head, "It's too long since time has passed, and the nearby terrain has changed, and I can't find it, but I'm sure it's nearby."

Wei Kang and Li Pitt looked at each other, nodded at each other, and saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

Both of them have their own purposes here, and neither of them will leave easily.

"Camp here first today, and discuss other things tomorrow morning."

With Li Pitt's order, everyone camped and rested on the periphery of the Sea of ​​Devils.

Seeing that they could not be dissuaded, Nabari sighed secretly and murmured: "You will definitely regret it."
