The strongest all-around bodyguard

Chapter 109 Quicksand
After resting in place for a day and a night, Lin Fan and his group began to pack their things and set out on the road. This time they entered the desert with an off-road vehicle ordered by the military, which was dual-purpose for gasoline and solar energy, and was most suitable for long-distance raids in the desert.

Under the leadership of Zhou Boyang, they walked south all the way. After walking for more than one kilometer, they found another dilapidated historic site. After some cleaning work, some broken ridges and walls were cleared out, although they were not of much value. But it gave Zhou Boyang's guess more proof.

At this time, the weather has begun to get hotter and hotter. The scorching sun hangs high above the head, scorching the world like a big fireball. The temperature in the desert is as high as [-] degrees Celsius at noon. Everyone has no choice but to stop, set up tents, and install Portable solar generators, each tent is equipped with a small three-dimensional air conditioner, and there are some prepared ice drinks in the car refrigerator.

These people stayed in the tent from eleven o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the afternoon. After the sun shifted to the west, the temperature in the desert began to drop rapidly. The temperature in the desert in the evening was around [-] degrees, refreshing and comfortable.

The big guys neatly put away the tents and started to go on their way again, but the continuous large sand dunes in front of them blocked the front of the car.

A survey team member with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets walked up to Captain Zhao and whispered something. This team member was called Ka Wuli.Arslan (meaning: strong lion) is a native of Xijiang. His grandfather used to be a guide in the desert. He has been taught by his grandfather's precepts and deeds since he was a child, and he is very familiar with everything in the desert. He has always been responsible for finding water, sheltering from storms and quicksands.

The two muttered there for a while, Captain Zhao frowned and looked ahead, then turned around and walked back, waved at Lin Fan, Zhou Boyang and others, signaling them to come together.

When everyone arrived, Captain Zhao pointed to the sand dunes in front and said, "Arslan told me that the sand dunes ahead are too slippery, and there may be small areas of quicksand that our car can't drive on. If we take a detour , can only drive around the sand dunes in the heavy radiation area, so I think it’s best to leave the car behind, let’s leave a few people to guard the car, and the rest of the people will climb over the sand dunes together.”

Zhou Boyang looked up, then thought for a little bit, nodded and said: "Okay, just do as you said, turn over this sand dune belt, and walk about one kilometer to the place, but some professional excavation Equipment must be brought."

Now that Zhou Boyang agreed, Lin Fan and Xuan Ming would naturally not object. It seemed that their destination was not far away, and even walking there would not be too tiring, and their supplies were sufficient.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Captain Zhao began to assign tasks. These people from the exploration team were responsible for pushing the exploration equipment, Zhou Boyang’s men were responsible for bringing tents and weapons, Lin Fan and Xuan Ming were responsible for bringing food, and two other people were left to take charge here. Look after the car.

After the tasks were assigned, the group started on the road. Arslan walked in the front. Although he didn't bring anything, his walking speed was not fast. The sand dunes in front seemed to be mixed with quicksand. Be careful.

It took more than two hours until it was completely dark, and these people climbed the sand dunes slowly. A Wu and the two brothers behind kept complaining that the front was too slow.

Walking down the dunes is also very slow, because Arslan slows down as much as possible. He holds a mining lamp in his hand. The strong beam can reach several kilometers away, illuminating everything around him. Clearly.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and Awu's sandproof hat was blown to the ground. He took a field flashlight in his hand and shone it on the ground, then bent down to pick up the hat.

But at this moment, there was another gust of wind, and under the influence of the wind, the hat on the ground continued to roll towards the side, and Ah Wu hurriedly chased after it, chasing five or sixty meters in one breath, before the sandproof hat stopped slowly. .

After Ah Wu caught up, he stepped forward and was about to bend over when suddenly his feet slipped and his body rolled twice on the sandy ground.

But what happened next made the two of them exclaim, because Ah Wu's body sank slowly in the sand, he yelled for help, half of his body was sunk in the sand, waving his hands and struggling on it.

"A Wu, something happened to A Wu, save him quickly." The two buddies shouted, and then rushed over, Zhou Boyang's other subordinates also ran to the place where A Wu had an accident, ready to rescue their brother.

Arslan, who was the leader in the front, heard the movement behind, lit up with a mining lamp, and then shouted loudly: "Don't move around, don't move around, be careful under your feet, it's quicksand."

It's a pity that no one listened to his words at all, Zhou Boyang's gang ran out of the team, and rushed towards the place where A Wu was trapped, but before those people ran to the place, they felt that their feet had stepped into a In the muddy swamp, they tried to get out again, but they couldn't move no matter how hard they tried. There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands under the sand holding their feet tightly.

Only Zhou Boyang felt that something was wrong with his feet, he kicked his feet down hard, his body jumped up high, then he leaned back and performed a few backflips in mid-air, and escaped from the suction of the quicksand safely.

"Don't move around, take the rope quickly, hand it to them and pull it hard, first save the ones who are closest." Arslan saw that there were six or seven people trapped in the sand, and he knew in his heart that he might not be able to get everyone out. They were rescued because these people were inexperienced, struggling in the quicksand, and their bodies sank too quickly, and the rescuers were short of manpower, so it was difficult to cover everything, so they could only selectively abandon some people.

People caught in the quicksand are generally unable to move. The increased density of the sand sticks to the lower half of the human body that fell into the quicksand, which creates a lot of pressure on the human body and makes it difficult for people to use their strength.

Quicksand is a natural phenomenon that often occurs in deserts with unstable foundations. When heavy objects are placed on the sand, it sinks to the bottom just like the bottom.If you fall into quicksand, struggling vigorously or kicking your legs will only make you sink faster.The best way for the trapped person to respond is to gently move his feet to let the water and sand penetrate into the squeezed vacuum area as much as possible, so that the pressure on the trapped person's body can be relieved, and the sand can be slowly loosened.

The people caught by the quicksand quickly calmed down when they heard Arslan's shouts. These people are all fierce and have encountered many dangers in the past years following Zhou Boyang, so they can maintain some confidence at this critical juncture. calm.

Members of the exploration team quickly took off the ropes around their waists, and handed them to those who fell into the quicksand one by one, but unexpectedly, those people sank too fast, and Ah Wu, who was the first to fall into the quicksand, Their heads were gone, and only their hands were still exposed in the sand. The others were submerged to their waists and some to their thighs in such a short period of time.

These people who were deeply trapped in the quicksand began to lose control. This kind of torture of watching themselves being swallowed by the yellow sand was more unbearable than killing him directly.
