336. Chapter 336: Encountering a camel caravan
Everyone walked to the Halaxy forest and looked at the countless dead branches and leaves on the ground. Luo Zheng was overjoyed and put down his equipment. He immediately suggested: "Brothers, let's spend the night here tonight. There are so many dead branches and leaves that are enough for us to use for one night. This ghost weather may be very cold tonight. It is sheltered from the wind and there are fire-burning objects here, which is very good."
Everyone has experience in desert survival, so naturally they know that the temperature difference between morning and evening in the desert is large, so they must prepare early. The snow leopard glanced at the nearby area and said, "You collect fire-burning objects, I will dig the hiding hole." As he said that, he put down his supplies and equipment, pulled out the engineer shovel and found a strong hillside to dig it.
"I'll help." said the ghost hand, putting down his things and pulling out the engineer shovel to work hard.
"I'll go around the neighborhood to see if I can get some food." Shan Diao said and left.
Luo Zheng and Lan Xue exchanged glances. The two of them smiled knowingly, put down their supplies and equipment and picked up dry firewood. Suddenly, Luo Zheng found that there was Cistanche on the ground, which was a good thing known as desert ginseng. He was shocked and said quickly: "Xue'er, come and see if this is Cistanche."
Cistanche is not familiar with Luo Zheng. He has seen it once during desert training. When he met again, he was a little uncertain. Lan Xue walked over in surprise and nodded affirmatively and said, "I didn't expect to meet pure wild Cistanche. This is a good thing. Let's dry it and take it back as a gift for everyone."
"Okay, anyway, these things don't have much weight when dried. Can you see pure wild ones?" Luo Zheng also smiled. Cistanche not only nourishes kidney yang, nourishes essence and blood, moistens the intestines and relieves bowel movements, but can also be used for impotence, infertility, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, weak muscles and bones, dry intestines, etc. It has a certain cosmetic effect and is helpful to improve immunity. This pure wild desert ginseng is hard to come by.
"I'll pick it tomorrow. It's cold now, so it's not appropriate to pick it." Lan Xue reminded her when she saw Luo Zheng was about to take action, and told the discovery to others. Everyone was very happy when they heard that there was such a good thing.
Half an hour later, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue collected a lot of dry branches, enough for everyone to use for one night. The ghost hand and the snow leopard were still digging the hiding hole. The soil was relatively loose and it was digging quickly. Luo Zheng looked at it and found that the entrance to the hiding hole was smaller and it was hollowed out. The two were expanding and constantly shoveling out the soil.
After waiting for a while, Shan Diao came back, holding three adult sand lizards in his hand, each with his arm out, his neck was twisted, and he was already dead. Seeing the three sand lizards, Luo Zheng smiled and said, "This is a good thing, it's just hot, but I didn't know the taste of meat for a few days, so I didn't care about it, so I started to eat meat tonight."
After several consecutive days of fighting, everyone rarely relaxed. The surroundings looked very safe. The Wolf King's men and the team were fighting on the grassland. At this moment, everyone was the safest. The hiding hole had been dug, enough to accommodate everyone. The dry firewood they collected was poured into the entrance, to block the wind and to facilitate the burning.
The bonfire was lit quickly, and a rack was made with thicker dry firewood, and the lizard was placed on the fire to grill it. Everyone chatted casually and relaxed. After a few days of intense battles, it was rare to relax. After more than half an hour, the sand lizard was almost roasted. Everyone picked up the saber, cut the skin, and cut off the meat inside and tasted it.
There was no seasoning, the taste was plain, but it was much better than compressed biscuits. Everyone ate it happily. In ten minutes, three sand lizards were eaten by everyone, and the rest were taken outside and dug a hole to bury it, so as not to spread the smell and attract beasts like jackals. On the battlefield, you can't relax at any time.
After eating and drinking, everyone chatted about digging Cistancheban tomorrow. The night became deeper and the wind was howling, bringing a cold wave. Everyone sat around the bonfire and felt cold and trembling. Fortunately, they were sheltered from the wind and there was fire, otherwise they would not be able to survive the long and slow night.
Luo Zheng estimated that it was at least minus thirty degrees below zero, just like the last time he was in the iceberg snow field. In such cold weather, no one would come out, and even wild beasts would not dare to come out easily. In addition, there were too many similar valleys around it, so it was impossible to be discovered, so he left one person watching the fire and stood guard by the way. The others took turns to sleep.
After sleeping until dawn, everyone had a rare sleep and recovered their energy. After eating some dry food and drinking some water, they started picking Cistanche deserticola. The opportunity was rare. I missed it. It took everyone more than ten minutes to collect a bunch of them, and each person packed some in his bag and continued on his way.
The temperature becomes higher and higher as time goes by. This kind of hot suffocation during the day and cold slump at night is very affordable. Everyone is determined and walks forward slowly, trying not to speak along the way, so as not to injure the heat in the body and feel hot and uncomfortable.
Walking and stopping, at noon, there was a slow yellow sand in front of me, which was really entering the desert area. Luo Zheng signaled everyone to stop and rest for a while, eat and drink before continuing to rush. Looking at the rolling heat waves on the yellow sand, Luo Zheng felt his scalp numb. The temperature here was much higher than the desert where everyone was training. Fortunately, he confiscated many kettles, which were temporarily enough for everyone to use, otherwise he would not be able to move forward.
The yellow sand is endless, the sky is blue, white clouds are piled up, floating leisurely, and the ground is rolling with suffocating heat waves. Everyone continues to walk forward slowly, and there is no sign of people around, at least they don’t have to worry about being attacked by someone, which makes everyone less worried.
After walking for another two hours, news suddenly came from the mountain eagle who was leading the way, and a camel caravan appeared in front. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly hid behind the nearest dune, checked the weapons on one side, and waited solemnly. Camel caravan appeared in a deserted place, which was definitely not good news.
"Boom!" A sound of propeller came faintly, everyone was stunned, they looked up and found a helicopter rushing over the camel team, whizzing past, everyone hid, with desert gay clothes disguised, and hid behind the dunes, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Looking at the helicopter whistling by, Luo Zheng's face changed and he whispered: "It's an armed combat helicopter. Could it be that the Wolf King sent out to support it? If so, the teams in various countries will be in trouble."
"The Camel Corps is probably also a member of the Wolf King." Lan Xue agreed casually, holding up the sniper lens to observe, her face darkened, and she said in surprise: "Look, the box transported by the Camel Corps has a weapon sign on it. It is ammunition. Could it be that the ammunition was blown up by us? The Wolf King sent the Camel Corps to transport it?"
"If this is the case, we can't let this camel team pass by. Twenty people can deal with it." Luo Zheng suggested that he finally destroyed the Wolf King's ammunition. If this batch of ammunition is sent to it, wouldn't it be unfavorable to the teams in various countries. If the teams are not good, it will not be able to hold the Wolf King's people, and it will be difficult for him to act. This batch of supplies will be robbed.
