Chapter 1863: Avoiding the Sandstorm

In order to improve concealment, the desert camouflage combat uniforms provided by the Equipment Brigade have strong anti-infrared detection functions. The combat uniforms visible to the naked eye can achieve stealth effect under infrared detection, but Luo Zheng dared not bet. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, he led everyone into the sand dunes and shouted quickly: "Distract, hide, pay attention to the flight route of the drone, and hide behind dead corners."

"Yes." Everyone agreed understandably, quickly dispersed, and found a place to hide.

"Shi Qian, follow me, Xue'er, you take Cao Xi." Luo Zheng continued, pulling Shi Qian to hide behind a sand dune to observe the night sky. He soon found a drone flying over. Luo Zheng stared at the route of the drone flying over, and took Shi Qian around the sand dune, hiding himself behind the sand dune that the drone could not see.

Although the drone took photos from high altitudes, there were few dead corners, but there were also certain tilted dead corners. Finding this dead corner, coupled with the anti-infrared detection combat uniform on its body, can greatly reduce the chance of being discovered. The drone is getting closer and closer. Luo Zheng pulled Shi Qian and quickly pounced on the sand dune, reminding him: "Press tightly on the sand dune, don't move, don't look up, hide your face in the sand."

The face is not blocked by infrared-proof equipment, and it is very troublesome once it is photographed. Luo Zheng dared not be careless. After the drone roared away, Luo Zheng got up, spit out the sand in his mouth, wiped his face and looked at the drone that was moving away and shouted: "Don't move first, let's see the situation."

"Yes." Everyone shouted in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Can we prevent investigation like this?" Shi Qian asked by wiping off the sand on his face.

"The desert camouflage combat uniforms on you are specially made, with high anti-infrared detection functions, and there is very little possibility of being discovered. In addition, we have used this dune to block it. It is still unclear whether we can avoid it. We have to check the situation. If the drone goes away and never returns, it means we have successfully avoided the reconnaissance, otherwise we will be in big trouble." Luo Zheng explained solemnly, looking towards the night sky.

After waiting for a while, the drone did not turn around, Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Brothers, continue rushing. Be sure to arrive at the predetermined destination before dawn. Advance in three columns in a formation, be fast."

"Yes." Everyone shouted in unison, lined up in three columns to trot forward in front of the team.

Luo Zheng led Shi Qian, Cao Xi and Lan Xue followed the team. While running, Luo Zheng paid attention to Shi Qian and Cao Xi, and found that the two of them were still in good shape. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "The weather is already very cold. Can you do it? Tell me what's wrong with me immediately."

"I understand, this damn desert should be more than ten degrees below zero right now, right?" Shi Qian agreed.

"The temperature will continue to drop, and it is entirely possible to reach minus twenty degrees in three hours. Running will consume too much calories and water. Continuous running may lead to exhaustion and dehydration, especially when running at minus twenty degrees, the body cannot withstand it." Cao Xi reminded next to him.

"We have no problem. We have trained in the extreme cold environment. But you can't stand it and tell me immediately, I'll find a way." Luo Zheng replied quickly, thinking about it. If they were all his brothers, it would be a big problem no matter how they ran. However, Shi Qian and Cao Xi were in the team, so they had to think more.

"You have no problem, and we both have no problem. I have a pill that can keep the cold after taking it, but not much. It's very troublesome to refine this thing. If we only use it, it can last for a few days." Cao Xi replied.

"There is such a good thing?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"It was passed down from ancestors." Cao Xi replied.

Luo Zheng was stunned and realized that the ancestors of Cao Xi's family were doing tomb robbers. This kind of work required frequent occurrence in cold and cold places. It was normal to be able to refine this kind of pill to drive away the cold. It was personal. Luo Zheng did not get any more subtle and smiled and said, "That's good, I can't use it, just pay attention to it yourself."

The team continued to move forward. After an hour, the wind became much stronger and the cold sand was blowing. Everyone had to pull away the scarf on their necks to cover their faces, revealing the tactical eyepiece outside. After walking for a while, the wind became stronger. The blowing made people feel a little unsteady and it was uncomfortable to hit the sand.

Luo Zheng raised his hand and looked at the watch. It was already around twelve o'clock in the evening. The surrounding temperature did reach minus twenty degrees below zero. If he hadn't been wearing a special cold-proof suit, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. Looking at the surrounding terrain, there was a sand dune not far away, with a high ground of more than twenty meters. He quickly shouted: "Stop moving forward and go camping behind the dunes."

Everyone stopped running quickly and followed Luo Zheng to the sand dune and saw that there was a sand pit behind him, about ten meters deep and about twenty meters in diameter. It was surrounded by hills, which looked like a naturally formed big bowl with large tops and small bottoms. Luo Zheng quickly shouted: "Go downstairs first to avoid the wind."

"Yes." Everyone rushed down. The terrain of this sand pit was very dangerous and could be filled with sand and dust blown by the wind at any time, but there was no better choice around, so they could only try it.

Everyone rushed to the bottom of the sand pit in one breath and found that the wind was much smaller. They untied the scarf on their necks to breathe and shake off the dust. Luo Zheng looked up at the top. The wind blew the fine sand on the sand dunes flying all over the sky, without stopping. The cold air was sucked into the body, and it felt like the whole body was frozen, which was extremely uncomfortable.

This extremely bad weather made Luo Zheng's face solemn. He shook off the fine sand from the scarf and wrapped his neck again. He looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky and shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, this ghost weather cannot sleep. If you really want to sleep, you have to rotate. The two of them reminded each other in a group that they cannot exceed ten minutes each time."

Sleeping in extremely cold areas is a taboo, and it is easy to fall asleep. Everyone understands this principle and agrees in unison. Lan Xue next to him looked at Luo Zheng with a serious expression and said, "Beware of the increase in wind power. If a storm or tornado is formed, then we can't hide here."

"Yes." Luo Zheng said in a deep voice, looking at the sky and thinking.

"Don't worry, it's the biggest wind now, and the wind will weaken in at most half an hour." Cao Xi next to him said with a confident look at the night sky.

"Uh? Reason?" Luo Zheng asked curiously.

"Just believe me, wait and see if you don't believe me." Cao Xi replied, not wanting to explain more.

Luo Zheng was stunned and looked at Cao Xi curiously. Seeing Cao Xi's confident expression, he couldn't help but believe it. Shi Qian next to him was worried that Luo Zheng would have misunderstandings, so he quickly explained: "Stars are watching and distinguishing qi and knowing yin and yang, which is the ancestral skill of her family."

"I won't ask about the things I have passed down from my ancestors, let's wait and see." Luo Zheng smiled suspiciously.r1148
