Who is that? !

Bloody?still……

I hurriedly yelled at Yan Daojie and the others, and told Kandoro to use his night vision eyes to look at the hills over there.Kandoro hurriedly turned his head to look at the past when he heard the words, and even drove the camel forward a few steps.However, the figures in my eyes had disappeared from the sand dunes at this time, and I don't know if Candolo saw it clearly.

After a while, he came back to us and said, "I didn't see their faces clearly, the distance is too far. However, I can vaguely see their clothes, which seem to be desert-painted camouflage uniforms."

Desert camouflage?So, these people should be with the strong man who attacked Kanaguri?

Including the strong man, we once found three similarly dressed corpses in the rock group sheltering from the black storm, and based on what Kanaguri saw at the time, we agreed that this team was the most Probably on the bloody side.In this way, our "leading the snake out of the hole" plan seems to be working.

"Do you see how many of them there are?" I squinted and asked.

"Four." Candolo replied, "However, I don't know if there are any more behind the dunes. There were only four standing on the dunes just now."

I remember Kanaguli said that there were about five or six people in the team in similar costumes we saw in the rock group. Later we found three corpses, and logically there should be only two or three people left.However, Kanaguli may not have seen all of them, and some deviations are normal.But I estimate that this deviation will not be very large. This team will not exceed six people at most, which should be within the range of our speculation.

"Candoro, can you contact our back team?" I asked.

Kandoro shook his head and said: "No, when we are performing this kind of mission, the rear team chases the front team. In order to ensure that the 'bait' of the front team is more real, there is generally no contact." After a pause, he continued: "However, I know where they are. According to the rules, they are about half an hour away from us."

"Then how does the rear team confirm our position? Just rely on the road? What if we encounter any situation and change direction?" Yan Daojie asked.

I'm actually curious about this too.Before departure, I asked Yazak, the captain of the rear team.However, that guy's character was a bit old-fashioned. At that time, he just kept a basic politeness and told me not to worry, they would definitely catch up with us, and then he kept a "poker face" and kept silent, as if he was afraid that I would inquire about some secrets .

"Oh, don't worry about this." Kandoro patted the package hanging on the camel, "There is a special powder in it, which can emit a unique smell. There is also a 'naruta' in the rear team .He will use his nose to confirm we are there. And, once they get close to us, I will know." Candoro pointed to his nose.

Although this method sounds amazing, it is inevitably a bit rough, and there will be more uncertain variables——I thought to myself.However, after thinking about it, this method can indeed maximize the effectiveness of the bait, but the team used as the bait is inevitably more dangerous.

I nodded and didn't say anything more on the topic.Now that the enemy has shown its traces.Naturally, we became more careful, and we didn't delay any longer.Hastily rushed towards the destination.

Zhou Lingfeng's sand bandit lair is actually not very far from Elias' residence.According to Candolo, it would take less than a day to ride a camel for this distance, but half a day would be enough to ride a horse or drive in a hurry.In fact, choosing to come out on a camel was a strategy that Uncle Carter and I had discussed. After all, we don't know where the blood gang is watching us.I don't know how long it will take them to catch up with us.If you come out on a camel, you can lengthen the time of this journey, which will naturally make it easier to lure the "snake".Of course, the speed can be appropriately accelerated when necessary, such as now.

People who have never ridden a camel may not know that this animal can actually run very fast.It's not like ordinary people's impression, just walking slowly in the sand.Camels usually run at about forty kilometers per hour, which is slower than horses.However, its top speed can reach about sixty to seventy kilometers per hour, which is not very different from the top speed of a horse.It's just that, except in the arena of camel racing, generally no one uses them in this way.In the desert, camels generally run faster than horses.The soles of horses are hard and supportive. Coupled with the horseshoes added by humans, they can run very fast on hard ground.Camels are different from horses in that their soles are soft and wide. The contact surface between camels and the sand in the sand is much larger than that of horseshoes, and the degree of sinking is much lower, so the speed is naturally much faster than horses.

However, the route we are taking at the moment is not a completely deserted desert, but the Gobi Desert with a lot of rocks exposed on the ground.The ground of this kind of desert is much harder than ordinary deserts, and it is not very suitable for camels to run.Therefore, in order to protect the camel's feet from being injured, our acceleration at the moment is not too exaggerated, it's just a little faster than usual.Even so, we saw a dark patch of Yardang rock formations at midnight.When he saw this group of rocks, Candolo told us that the destination had arrived.

We lowered the speed of the camel and slowly approached the rock group.The scale of the rock group is much larger than I imagined. From the appearance, this rock group is not much different from the ordinary Yardang everywhere around here. It is hard to imagine that this is a group of sand robbers who once dominated the surrounding desert. where they live.Of course, what is even more unimaginable is that there is a desert ship from a mysterious civilization behind these rocks.

When I walked to the side of the rock group, I wanted to go in directly to see the terrain, so that I could have a bottom line in my heart.However, Candoro said that it is better to camp and rest first.One is to wait for the rear team to approach us. Furthermore, the terrain here is very complicated, and it is difficult to see clearly in the middle of the night, which is prone to problems.Come to think of it, he has night vision eyes and we don't.Moreover, if we meet the blood gang inside, then our original plan of attacking back and forth will be useless. In this way, the blood gang with the godfather as a hostage will have an advantage over us Yes, it's a bit of a loss.

That being the case, we had no choice but to find a shelter from the wind according to Kandoro's instructions, and set up camp against the rocks.After lighting a bonfire and resting for a while, I hurriedly asked Kandoro about the terrain inside the rock group, thinking that I could understand a little bit.There are two clearings inside the group, the outer one is smaller and the inner one is larger, Candoro said.There are many entrances and exits here, and the passages are very complicated.However, these entrances and exits are connected to the smaller open space, and the larger open space can only lead to the outside through the small open space.

I asked Candoro how familiar he was with the rock group, and he replied that he only knew some basic passages, not too familiar.Their tribe sends people to inspect once a year, and he has followed, but not many times, so his understanding is limited.But because the "Naruta" who led the team to patrol here is not in the clan now, so this time he can only be sent to lead the way.

After thinking about Arslan's missing grandfather, I asked him if he had found any intruders or corpses inside.Kandoro said that he had never heard of it, and since his family guarded this place, no one has appeared here except them.

I was very surprised by this answer, and so was Arslan beside him, but he couldn't speak because of his identity, so he could only wink at me frequently to ask me to ask.I asked Kandoro again, he thought about it carefully, and the answer remained the same.And he also emphasized to me that he must remember correctly, because this inspection mission will be led by him from this year, so he has read the inspection records over the years for understanding, and he is sure that there is nothing in those records There was mention of a break-in.

Arslan frowned upon hearing the words, but he didn't make any further gestures. He just lowered his head and began to think silently.I am also very confused about this matter in my heart. According to Uncle Slamu's narration, his father should have brought that group of people back here. After all, he said that when the man wearing glasses returned, his hand The small metal box in the bag should be the one that once belonged to Zhou Lingfeng.However, these thoughts are just Uncle Slam's guesses after all, he has not actually seen Zhou Lingfeng's small metal box with his own eyes, so maybe his guess is wrong.However, if that wasn't the case, then where did his father take that group of people?

I thought for a long time but couldn't find a clue, so I decided to let it go for now.There are too many mysteries around us to solve them all.It is still the first priority to solve the immediate matter first, and leave these matters to ponder later.

In order to prevent the blood gang from raiding at night, we had to be divided into two groups, taking turns to watch and rest.After tossing for several hours, until the dark sky has brightened, nothing happened around us.That being the case, we naturally can't wait stupidly, so we plan to enter the rock group first to see the terrain.At this moment, Candoro told me that he smelled the marks of their tribe, which proved that the rear team had arrived around us.

I nodded, and was just about to discuss the follow-up actions with him, when suddenly a cloud of fireworks exploded in midair. (To be continued..)
