Chapter 6208: Sandstorm Escape
two hours later. The wreckage of the plane disappeared on the horizon behind, leaving only a small puff of black smoke mixed in the clouds of the sky.
The sun gradually went down.
With Lin Rui's physique, he also felt that his footsteps were getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't bear it.
The scorching sun makes your mouth dry.
About half an hour ago, there was intensive machine gunfire from the southwest. It was obvious that a few robbers were trying to distract the enemy. I wonder how likely they are to escape?
within sight. There are only bare rocks and flat yellow sand, stretching continuously into the distance.
The tiresome and monotonous scenery of the great desert never ends, and the vast sand sea makes people feel a chilling fear, even though the weather is so hot.
The light reflected by the sand grains hurts the eyes.
A robber was carrying a big bag, walked beside Lin Rui and said, "You are very strong!"
Lin Rui smiled wryly and said, "I'm a strong outsider. When will you stop to rest? Who are those chasing you?"
The robber looked around and said to him: "Hurry up! When you reach the oasis ahead, you can rest."
Lin Rui wondered: "Oasis?" He thought of the circled place on the map earlier.
The robber said: 'That's not a big oasis, but it's a good source of water. You will know then. I estimate that the enemy will soon catch up, and only at the oasis will we have a chance to counterattack and escape. ".
continue the journey.
On the road, Lin Rui saw a camel, which had been weathered into a pile of white bones, and its neck was twisted strangely, which showed the helpless struggle before dying. Let's hope that's not their future portrayal.
The sun finally fell below the horizon, and the whole world of sand was instantly transformed into another world. The sweltering heat waves were replaced by biting cold winds, and the dazzling white light was replaced by a beautiful light blue.
In the dark blue sky, there are as many stars as the sands of the Ganges River, which makes people deeply shocked by the vastness of the universe, and they can bear the vast desert more.
The boredom caused by the hot weather was replaced by lassitude and chills. Lin Rui had an extraordinary physique. He supported Yelena, gritted his teeth, and stepped step by step on the soft and unstressed sand in the vast desert where the night fell. , marching toward the unknown front.
The sky was getting darker, and things a hundred steps away were blurred. Six people gathered together, led by the leader of the robbers.
After walking in the dark for three hours, a row of rocks lay in front of him, and a crescent moon like a silver hook rose up, casting a faint light, vaguely outlining the outline of a large pile of rocks.
They entered between two towering granite rocks, and Lin Rui realized that the rocks were different in size. The big ones are three to forty meters high, and the small ones are made of gravel and even fist-sized stones.
Countless stones spread out in disorder on the ground, forming a strange world in front of you.
Lin Rui understood the meaning of Oasis.
There is a little bit of green in the rocks, indicating that there is a water source here. After walking for half an hour, the group stopped.
A robber brought a sheepskin water bag and shared it with Lin Rui.
In the desert, sheepskin water bladders are irreplaceable treasures. Canvas bags will leak, plastic water bottles will soften in the heat, and steel or tin containers will easily scratch the camel’s armpits. This is the only thing that is the best.
Lin Rui looked at the water sac in his hand, it looked dirty and covered with sand, but he didn't know if he was too thirsty, the water was sweet.
He swept his eyes and saw the other five people, but the leader of the robbers did not know where he was hiding.
Yelena silently drank water and ate the dry food that Lin Rui handed her.
Compared with the identity of the captive, Lin Rui's demeanor is leisurely and content. From time to time, he looked up at the sky full of reclamation, with joy in his eyes, as if a wanderer returned to his hometown, even if he was kidnapped.
A robber came over, holding two lunch boxes in his hands, and handed them to Lin Rui, which turned out to be the plane meals on the plane.
Several people in the distance are already chewing.
Lin Rui ate something, sat up cross-legged, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and soon entered the state of meditation.
Essence, Qi, and spirit blend together, allowing the consumed energy to recover quickly.
When he opened his eyes again, the magnificent starry night made him forget where he was for a moment.
There is still some time before dawn.
He stood up, trying to look around. A feeling of being spied on came up.
He pretended to look around casually, and there was a robber sleeping like a big fat pig. The others huddled in different corners and fell asleep soundly. Only the strong robber who hated him had a slight light flashing, and he disappeared in an instant.
It was the robber's gaze, and when he saw Lin Rui looking over, he quickly closed it.
Lin Rui smiled secretly, and walked slowly through the stone gap.
The robbers did not stop him.
He felt strange, and immediately realized that the strong robber wanted him to escape, maybe he could shoot him in the back. However, Lin Ruiyi is bold and alert. He squatted down quickly, and using the cover of the sand dune, he came to Yelena's side and whispered a few words to her.
Yelena nodded after listening to him.
After a while, a sharp sound pierced the dead desert, and the echo echoed back and forth among the rocks.
All the robbers in the temporary camp stood up, holding weapons, except Lin Rui and Yelena.
The robber's stern voice said: "This time we are not killing the enemy, but running for our lives. As long as we can contact our contact person, we will have enough strength to resist the pursuit. We will start our journey back."
It was only at this time that Lin Rui realized the cunning of this man. Before that, he sent half of his people to delay the enemy's attack, and then deliberately spent the whole night in this vast rocky area to attract the enemy.
Only in such an environment can the tactics of winning more with less be used, and most people have obvious goals.
The leader of the robbers said: "The enemy will come in half an hour. With the ferocity of these desert tribes, most of them will use the method of surprise attack, but we will use flexible tactics of swimming. When they fall into chaos, we will attack from the southeast of the oasis." corner and escape."
A robber said confusedly: "The southeast is a desert where not a single blade of grass grows, and it's extremely dangerous..."
The leader of the robbers said: "It is because no one dares to flee there that I will go in that direction...You guys! Give this gentleman a weapon and enough ammunition."
The robber's expression changed and he said: "Boss! We gave him weapons, he is just an outsider."
The leader of the robbers said: "He is now on the same boat as us. Those Tuaregs are known for their greed. If he is caught, will he have a good life?"
The robber had no choice but to grab a submachine gun and threw it at Lin Rui.
Lin Rui grabbed it, feeling a lot more confident in his heart. Almost every battle. He is outnumbered, and with rich combat experience, he will certainly not be weaker than anyone present. He said in a deep voice: "I will only use this weapon for self-defense, and will not kill for you."
The enemy's offensive was like a flash flood. Suddenly, there were Tuareg warriors attacking on camels in all directions.
The sun rose above the horizon.
The heat suddenly filled the space between the heaven and the earth.
Lin Rui quickly jumped among the rocks, leading Yelena to flee southeast with all his strength. In this moment of life and death, there was no kindness or reason at all, but it was unnecessary, and he still didn't want to hurt these Tuaregs.
There were intense gunfire all around.
The marksmanship of the robbers was so accurate that every time they fired, someone from the enemy fell over their camels. The leader of the robbers also carried an automatic rifle on his back and shot calmly, still in such a calm manner.
Unmanned camels scurry around, the battlefield is in chaos, and it is difficult to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.
Lin Rui was in a group with a robber at the beginning, but they were dispersed after a while. He and Yelena were left to move quickly between the rocks.
When he rushed to another rock, there was a strange noise behind him, and without thinking, he rolled on the spot, sand and stone splashed where he originally stood, and bullets bounced.
He had no choice but to turn around and shoot a round, and a big man immediately fell over with a hunchback. He was merciful and just shot the opponent in the shoulder.
The frightened camel rushed towards him, Lin Rui rolled aside, narrowly avoiding the bad luck covered in hoofprints.
A black shadow flashed, and a Trea on foot came up from behind under the cover of a camel.
Terrified, Lin Rui was about to roll down the rock, trying to survive.
A round of gunshots came from the right, and the Turean who was raising the gun and firing rolled and turned away in the splash of blood.
"Hello!" A voice came from behind the stone. Lin Rui looked sideways.
Yelena didn't know when she was already holding an automatic weapon, she stood quietly behind him, and smiled: "I saved you again."
Lin Rui couldn't laugh or cry, and pulled Yelena to run in another direction.
He ran wildly through the rocks, and the gunshots gradually fell to the left rear.
After walking hundreds of steps, turning a corner, an object blocked the road and Linrui almost fell.
A big man lying in a pool of blood was one of the robbers.
Lin Rui raised his weapon vigilantly, and the sound of a camel came from behind.
A camel came straight up.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately jumped forward, grabbed the rope by the camel's head, and shouted loudly at the same time. Called: "Come and help me."
Yelena ran over.
Lin Rui yanked the rope skillfully, and slowly hissed between the two rows of teeth, threatening the huge animal...
Yelena cried: "What shall I do?"
Lin Rui turned his index finger into a hook shape, grabbed the camel's nostrils violently, and pulled its nose down forcefully.
The camel bent its front legs, knelt down on its hind legs, and then lay down.
Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No need, hurry up and climb up. This time we were lucky, but luck can't always be good. We have to try to escape."
Only then did Yelena understand what he was doing, she flipped onto the camel's saddle back, although Yelena was wearing a very loose robe, but she was surprisingly agile, she flipped in front of Lin Rui.
Lin Rui said, "Hurry up."
Before the words were finished, the camel stood up on its hind legs, and Lin Rui fell forward involuntarily. Following the camel, it raised its front legs again, and Lin Rui fell backwards again.
Lin Rui laughed excitedly, and slapped the camel's **** vigorously.
The camel galloped forward.
Lin Rui controlled the reins, threaded left and right among the rocks, and soon crossed the pile of rocks, left the oasis of rocks, and headed towards the vast desert.
Gunshots were still coming from behind.
Yelena asked Lin Rui, "Did we go in the wrong direction?"
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "No! The direction is correct."
Pointing to the sun, he said, "The sun is on our right. Now we are going due north. If we are lucky, we may meet the nearby nomads within a day or two."
The camel carried two people on its back, leaving long footprints in the sand.
The labyrinth casts a dark shadow behind it.
Ahead lay an endless, shimmering horizon and a deep blue sky.
The sun was approaching mid-heaven, and they walked for two hours.
Lin Rui tightened the rope, and the camel came to a stop, blowing air from its nostrils, and its mouth was full of foam.
Yelena asked strangely, "What's the matter?"
Lin Rui couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "What? Come down!" He jumped down first, his agility was no less than those of the nomads in the desert, and he could only be described as relaxed and capable. "
Yelena jumped down with some reluctance.
Lin Rui led the camel forward, and Yelena followed beside him.
She couldn't help asking: "Aren't camels for riding?"
Lin Rui shook his head and said: "It is our savior now. The sheepskin water bladder, luggage and food on it are our only hope. If it is exhausted, we will really be finished."
Suddenly his expression changed, he looked to the southeast, Lin Rui followed his gaze, and saw a large cloud of yellow dust flying all over the sky, covering half of the world.
Yelena didn't know what was going on, but Lin Rui yelled, "Damn it, I knew it was impossible to be lucky all the time, we encountered a big sandstorm."
One animal and two people, in the vast and monotonous world, so lonely and small.
The clear blue sky turned yellow and dirty. The sky is full of yellow dust, and the sun is weak.
The whole world is dark and unclear. The wind blows slowly at the beginning, and then gradually strengthens. It is short-term and vigorous. Although it drives away the Yan Department, it makes people feel uneasy.
The dust accumulated in the space became thicker and thicker. After a while, the surrounding vision was muddy yellow, and it was impossible to see clearly from more than ten steps away.
The two pulled down their masks and pushed forward, hunched over.
The camel kept screaming in horror.
Suddenly asked, the wind was strong.
The gust of wind suddenly struck from all directions without thinking, and the sand with it hit the body like an arrow. Even through the thick cloth, the pain was still unbearable.
Not only are the grains of sand flying wildly in the air, but the sand under their feet is also dancing and whirling wildly.
The great desert showed its violent and savage side, and the two and one beast were swept into the sand of the shocking waves.
Yelena couldn't help but said, "Stop!"
They are like grass in a typhoon, completely out of control.
Lin Rui yelled wildly: "It must not stop. I heard from those Tuareg people that if this kind of big sandstorm stops, the sand will immediately bury people."
Grains of sand got into their clothes everywhere, forcing them into their necks, eyes and throats.
Lin Rui is willing to give everything in exchange for the past world and avoid the death penalty bestowed by the desert.
Like blind men, they groped forward. The yellow sand covered the sky, overflowing the horizon from a distance, and roaring up.
Wind and sand roared around them like beasts.
After an unknown amount of time, the wind and sand gradually calmed down.
The sky was thick with dust.
Gradually, the grains of sand drifted down, spreading layer by layer on the ground.
The two and one beast collapsed from exhaustion, even losing the strength to breathe.
