I received a text message from the future. Is it reasonable for me to earn tens of billions?

Chapter 354 Three Days Later
"Taotie, go and kill the bait. The rest of you quickly clean up the battlefield and load all the supplies that can be used onto the carts. Take the camels away as well. Gopher, dig a hole and bury the body."

After the battle, Fang Xiaocao immediately gave orders, directing everyone to perform their duties.

"Yes!"

Taotie responded, rode on a camel and chased in the direction of the bait.

Fang Xiaocao let Taotie go because she thought that the gunshot just now might have alarmed the bait, as she was worried about letting anyone else go.

This campaign to suppress the bandits yielded fruitful results.

There were eight camels alone.

The dead camel bodies don’t count.

Fang Xiaocao felt that he had made a fortune from the food, weapons and ammunition that the bandits brought with them.

He did not spare the camel's corpse or the mole, and took out the dagger he carried with him and started cutting them. These were all high-quality proteins, and he spread them with salt and roasted them to make jerky. In the desert where one can only eat compressed biscuits and canned food, it is both filling and satisfying.

The only drawback is that it is a waste of time and today's journey may be delayed, but Fang Xiaocao did not stop the mole from burrowing in the ground.

The most important things in the desert are food and water. Fang Xiaocao thought it was okay to arrive a day late, as he could make some dried meat to take with him.

Mole cut up the camel meat, took out compressed fuel and lit a fire. He asked Liu Yishou and Xiao Luban to grill the meat while he dealt with the corpse.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao was not idle either, and joined the barbecue.

Soon Taotie came back riding a camel.

"killed?"

Fang Xiaocao asked.

"All right!"

Taotie jumped off the camel with a smile.

Helped the mole bury the body.

Taotie also came over to barbecue together.

The five men roasted the camel meat for more than two hours. After their full meal, they loaded the roasted meat and camel skins into the car and continued on their journey.

-

After trekking in the desert for three days, Fang Xiaocao and the other four had obvious signs of fatigue on their faces.

It’s not that I didn’t get enough rest, it’s just that I’m exhausted because of the harsh environment.

It was almost noon when Fang Xiaocao's team stopped marching again and chose a place sheltered from the wind to set up camp. Liu Yishou took a mole and rode a camel to explore the way, checking the surrounding terrain to determine whether they had deviated from the original route.

Taotie and Xiao Luban set up the tent, Fang Xiaocao skillfully made a fire and cooked broth with camel meat.

The few of them didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but they performed their duties in tacit understanding.

This is the result after three days of running-in.

Half an hour later!
Liu Yishou and the mole are back!

Before returning to the camp, the mole shouted, "Princess, there's something going on ahead!"

Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao and the other two immediately became alert and drew their weapons.

"What did you find?"

Taotie asked in a deep voice.

"Liu Yishou and I just went to explore the terrain and found fresh camel dung 500 meters away from our camp."

"We followed the traces along the way and found a camp two kilometers ahead of us. There were ten people, two off-road vehicles, and twelve camels. There were bullet holes and wounded people on their vehicles. They must have been in a battle not long ago."

The mole told everything he had just seen.

Listening to the mole's story, Fang Xiaocao couldn't help but think of the bandits that he and his group had killed three days ago.

"Could it be that they had a fight with bandits?" Fang Xiaocao asked without thinking.

The mole shook his head. "I don't think so. The bandits never leave anyone alive, and they never fight a battle they are not sure of. Their fishing plan is to swallow whatever they can swallow in one gulp, and if they can't swallow it, they will follow and wait for their accomplices to come to support them, and then swallow the prey together."

Fang Xiaocao shut up after hearing that.

If she didn't understand, she would just listen with her ears.

“Is there any marking on the car?”

"Can you tell which team this is?"

Taotie wiped his knife and asked in a deep voice.

The mole pondered for a moment and said, "There is no underworld logo on the car, so it should not be from the same industry or underworld. There is no official logo either, so it should not be a scientific expedition team. I guess it is most likely a civilian expedition team."

Taotie narrowed his eyes: "Come here to explore?"

“Will civilian expedition teams carry guns?”

"Either they are government officials or they are people from the underworld!"

The mole nodded: "Son-in-law is right, I didn't think it through."

Fang Xiaocao understood and asked, "Taotie, what should we do then?"

"Do you want to contact them?"

"Or go around it?"

Taotie played with the knife in his hand thoughtfully and fell silent.

Seeing that Taotie didn't say anything, everyone else also consciously shut their mouths and waited for Taotie to speak.

Fang Xiaocao didn't care. The place had unknown origins. She thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so the best thing to do was to just go around it.

"Xiao Luban, you and the mole take some supplies over there, get in touch with them, and find out their origins and experiences."

At this time, the silent Taotie spoke.

Fang Xiaocao didn't expect that Taotie would choose to have direct contact with those people. She looked at Taotie with some surprise, asking the reason with her eyes.

Understanding Fang Xiaocao's look, Taotie explained, "They are right in front of us. Even if we avoid them now, we may run into them again."

"Why not find out the truth directly? I have a feeling that their purpose may be the same as ours."

After listening to Taotie's explanation, Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Let's do as Taotie says."

Fang Xiaocao felt that Taotie’s concerns were right.

Even if we go around now, there is no guarantee that we won't meet earlier. If they walk fast, it's okay, he can stay in the light while we are in the dark, and we can use them as pathfinders. If they walk slowly and run behind our team, then we will be in the light while they are in the dark. If the other party is not a good person, it will be easy to be ambushed.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Fang Xiaocao had spoken, Xiao Luban and Mole responded and began to prepare for action.

"No matter what happens, don't be afraid, I will be watching you from the dunes. If you are in danger, I will teach them a lesson."

Taotie said with a smile.

Although Taotie's expression was ferocious, the words he said were inexplicably reassuring.

"Yes, uncle!"

Little Luban and the other two nodded.

Little Luban and Ground Rat did not drive there, but each of them took some supplies and set off on camels.

After the two left, Fang Xiaocao immediately began to pack up the tent and prepare to set off.

After cleaning up, Fang Xiaocao asked Liu Yishou to drive the car in the other direction of those people, so that those people would not catch Xiao Luban and the others and then follow the clues to find them.

When Fang Xiaocao successfully bypassed the camp and found the best observation point, Xiao Luban and his friends on camels happened to appear outside the camp...
