The prisoner team and the classical expedition continued to advance. In the evening of the same day, they finally arrived at the destination mentioned by the old experts. Standing on the dunes and looking into the distance, there was an endless sea of ​​sand, with hills formed by towering dunes and sand valleys surrounded by hills. The desert was not flat.

"Tomorrow, from that sand mountain, search the north, and drill bits every twenty meters, and insert a small flag into the drill bit hole." At dinner that night, the old expert group convened a meeting of the prisoners' team: "Don't hit the sand dunes, choose the lowest place. The three groups of people are arranged in a fifty meters apart and push forward. If you find anything that is not a desert, you must report to me."

Cui Ming asked: "How far do we need to advance?"

The old expert replied: "It is 30 kilometers north. If you don't find it, you will return to your original position and move forward in the north. Then you will no longer use camels and hike manually. Start at 7 o'clock in the morning and camp at 11 o'clock to avoid the scorching sun. Start at 6 o'clock in the afternoon and rest until 10 o'clock in the evening."

Damn it. If we die, it means you are looking for the thing in the area where we die. If it is a simple job as the old expert said, the classical adventure company can complete it independently. With all the signs that the classical adventure company failed in the first adventure, you can draw a conclusion that the prisoner team is a mine detector to find the place where the dead people were in the first adventure. Otherwise, in the huge and boundless Chuxiao Desert, how can the dead old man accurately locate an area and a direction?

But if there is no risk, what is the point of hiring a prisoner? Cui Ming looked at Beiyue not far away. Beiyue was eating food slowly by the fire. Ding Ze sat next to her and spoke. Beiyue rarely spoke, nodded, and shook her head to express her attitude. Cui Ming said in Xiaojiang's ear: "Believe me once, don't care about anything when encountering danger. Run, run back, remember to run to the positions of Beiyue and Ding Ze as much as possible."

Xiao Jiang looked at Cui Ming, then Beiyue and Ding Ze. He didn't say anything and nodded. After the past ten days of contact, Xiao Jiang also had his own opinion on Cui Ming. Cui Ming is a very humorous person, who can sleep with things, and he can sleep without a pillow. What to eat and where to sleep is all indifferent. At the same time, Cui Ming is a person with good judgment. If he says something seriously, this matter is basically correct. For example, Cui Ming said that the female assistant Nene next to the old expert is pink...

It is not easy to know that the female assistant Nene is pink. There is a gun security guard here, so it is not OK to peep. What should I do? The female assistant found that she had lost her lipstick and several prisoners were playing poker. When the female assistant passed by, she accidentally heard them betting on the ownership of the lipstick tonight. The female assistant sneered in her heart, pretending to be interested in the gambling game, and joined in.

Cui Ming put forward a bet. If the female assistant wins, then the lipstick belongs to her. If the female assistant loses, the lipstick belongs to her. But we must tell everyone the color of her little Nene. How to bet? It’s very simple. Cui Ming took out three playing cards, namely J, Q, and K. The female assistant can draw one to compete with Cui Ming in size. The female assistant has three chances in total, and as long as you win once, you will win.

Cui Ming showed three cards and then changed positions at will. The female assistant chose J for the first time and lost. The second time was J for another time, and lost again, and the third time was J for another time. Without any accident, she lost again.

Well, the female assistant generously admitted that her Nene was pink, and she specially pulled out a piece to show it to everyone, winning the applause of the prisoners. Then the female assistant asked to get the lipstick, and Cui Ming pushed a prisoner out and said, "Take it."

"I want lipstick." The female assistant was quite angry.

"He is nicknamed lipstick, we are betting on his ownership of the evening." The female assistant was stunned for a few seconds, knowing that she had been fooled, so she covered her face and left.

Afterwards, Xiao Jiang asked Cui Ming: "Aren't you afraid of her revenge when you play tricks on her? We are all under someone's roof."

Cui Ming replied: "If we are really in danger, she will not be the one who can save us."

...

The hardest work began, with a drilling rig weighing fifty kilograms of metal detectors. Three people were under the scorching sun, one man controlled it, two people held the fuselage, making a hole every twenty meters, and also carried a tent, food and water. The most annoying thing was the old expert who used the walkie-talkie to ask if he had found it after ten minutes. When he worked again in the evening, because the distance was relatively far, the walkie-talkie lost its function, so everyone could be more quiet.

Three security guards followed the three groups respectively, and it was impossible to escape, but slacking off was possible. The security guards changed shifts a day to supervise the prisoners' work. They worked hard for a day and could go back to the camp to rest for a day.

Among the prisoners, Cui Ming was the smallest and was responsible for operating the drill rig. Xiao Jiang and the giant were responsible for supporting the fuselage. After the shooting, Cui Ming looked at the instrument and said, "Check it." It was very convenient to operate. When the drill bit was pressed, it was retracted. The drill rig was charged twice a day, which was enough for a day of work.

The giant pointed to the shade created by the dunes: "Stay for a while."

The three of them walked over and touched the sand. It was not very hot. They sat down. Xiao Jiang said to the security guard twenty meters away: "Brother, just smoke a cigarette."

The security guard also brought his own parasol and chairs under the sun umbrella. He ignored Xiao Jiang and looked at his watch. The prisoners had to register for a few minutes of rest. This is not to say that the classical company was petty, but to let the prisoners know that the classical company had a record of their behavior.

Cui Ming's group was the slowest. At the beginning, the three groups worked side by side, with a distance of 50 meters. Now the first group is almost here to today's campsite, and Cui Ming's group is still two kilometers away from tonight's campsite. Fifteen criminals were divided into five groups, three groups to detect, and two groups prepare the camp, cook food, and set up tents. This is also a hint, telling you that if you are not finished today's work, you will not be able to eat.

"I'm not happy, let's continue." The first group of security guards had already changed shifts at the camp, and the security guards here were accompanying them in the heat. The giant said, stood up first, pulled Xiaojiang and the others up, and the security guard also put away the umbrella and chairs.

The four of them climbed up a sand slope and stood on the top of the slope. Cui Ming exclaimed: "This place is so flat." There are no sand dunes within a radius of ten kilometers, all of which are flat sand. You can clearly see the camp two kilometers away and the tent has been set up.

"The second group is there." Xiao Jiang said.

The second group was one kilometer away from the camp, and the efficiency was pretty good. The four of them sat on the sand and slid down. They were about to dig holes below. Cui Ming sniffed and asked, "Did you smell a strange smell?"

The giant pointed his thumb back, Cui Ming turned around, the security guard was on the big scale, Cui Ming smiled and continued to dig holes. At this time, the intercom came to the first group of songs, and the lyrics meant that I was a snail, I climbed and climbed up a beautiful peak. After singing, the first group of prisoners said, "Hurry up, the soup is cooked."

"You animals, leave me a bite." The giant replied to the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and continued to work.

The two groups were slowly advancing. When Cui Ming's group was more than one kilometer away from the camp, several prisoners at the camp brought a few bottles of water to express their condolences to everyone. The giant tyrannical: "These people have consciences."

"No, collect." Cui Ming said, collecting the drill bit. Suddenly, the drill bit was moving a little louder this time, and there was obvious shaking under his feet.

A sudden sound came from the walkie-talkie: "There are bugs."

Then he heard the sound of gunfire in the camp. Three security guards were firing into the sand. An object jumped up and covered a security guard's head. The security guard fell to the ground.

"What?" Xiao Jiang asked in panic.

The security guards of the three of them also stood up and took a gun on guard. Suddenly the sand near them cracked open, and a large bug emerged from the sand. They looked like a beetle that had been magnified dozens of times. They were green, had big heads, had a pair of eyes, covered with scales, and had no feet. The fat body twisted on the sand, and was very fast.

The security guard immediately fired, and the bullet hit the big bug's body, which did not cause substantial damage, but also inhibited the big bug from approaching. At this time, a big bug appeared in the soles of the security guard's feet, jumped up, opened a big mouth, a huge mouth, a mouth as big as its head, and swallowed the security guard's head in one mouthful. The round mouth was covered with sharp teeth. In two seconds, the big bug left the security guard's body, and the security guard's head disappeared. When I saw that there was a ball in the big bug's belly, it was obviously the security guard's head.

The distance was thirty meters, and I could see it too clearly. Xiao Jiang couldn't help but spit it out. The giant pointed and said in panic: "There are so many bugs."

A dozen insects around them suddenly twisted their fat bodies and rushed towards the three of them. Cui Ming looked at the insects and waved his hands repeatedly: "Run, run, run."

The three of them threw away the instrument and turned around and ran to the sand dune they came. Xiaojiang ran the fastest, and a big bug emerged five meters away from Xiaojiang and jumped towards Xiaojiang. Cui Ming flipped his fingers, and a poker flew over in his hand. The poker rotated and cut through the big bug's body with a red light. The big bug fell to the sand, opened its mouth and gasped.

The second playing card came in response, flew into the big bug's mouth, and penetrated it fiercely. The big bug, who was breathing in, wailed, and its whole body exploded, and green blood and corpses spilled Xiao Jiang's whole body.

"Don't be stunned, run quickly." Cui Ming flew out another poker, cut the back half of a big bug fifteen meters away, rotated the playing card and cut its hard scales, circled it in its body, and cut it into two sections. The big bugs nearby seemed to know that they were afraid and dared not get closer.

There were still a hundred meters away from the sand dune. Cui Ming looked back and saw that he could no longer see living people. He could only see big worms squirming everywhere. Suddenly the earth shook, and the sand in front of him exploded. The sand flew dozens of meters high, and an extremely huge worm emerged. He had a huge body that was three stories high, opened his big mouth, and a green liquid ejected out, attacking the completely shocked Xiaojiang.
