Chapter 286 Gobi and Desert

After bumping in the truck compartment for five consecutive days, Chen Ziyang felt that he was about to fall apart. Every part of his body, every bone, and even every muscle was aching. These pains were worse than those in his left arm. And the wound on his chest made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Yang Lei was a little better, at least when he went out to get meals three times a day, Yang Lei could still move his body, but Chen Ziyang could only lie there all the time.And the female doctor who took care of Chen Ziyang was not much better. Chen Ziyang noticed that her face was getting paler and paler. Sometimes, he would see the female doctor leaning against the inner wall of the carriage alone. He kept patting his body with his fists.

Although he couldn't see other people's situation, according to Yang Lei, the other people were not much better.Every time the convoy stops to start serving meals, Yang Lei will see that other people are also hunched over, covering their lower backs with their hands, and the people in the convoy are moving very slowly. Everyone in the team is exhausted.

Moreover, after five consecutive days of driving, the condition of the fleet vehicles has also dropped a lot.When Yang Lei was picking up the meal, he overheard other people's conversation, saying that several cars had already been thrown on the road.Fortunately, Yoshioka Yu mobilized a lot of vehicles this time. Although a few vehicles were lost, it did not affect the speed of the entire convoy.

Chen Ziyang knew that all of this was because of himself. If he hadn't accidentally dripped blood on the diamond and opened the blood-colored diamond key earlier, it is very likely that Yoshioka Yu and the others would have been much more prepared, so that they wouldn't have to mess with it. As embarrassing as it is now.

Calculating the time, Chen Ziyang found that nearly half a month has passed since the diamond key was opened, and half of a month has passed. It is no wonder that Yoshioka Yu and the others are so anxious and have not slept for five consecutive days Endlessly rushed to the location of the treasure.

Time is indeed very tight. Nearly half of the time has passed, but I don’t even know where the old site of this ancient country is. The yellow dot representing the location of the old site of the ancient country represents a range of several hundred kilometers in diameter. It is not easy to search for the location of this ancient country.

Even if it was a coincidence, the location of the ancient country was found, but after so many years, the old site of the ancient country should have been buried in the ground long ago, otherwise it should have been discovered long ago, and instructor Liu would not have thought about it I have been looking for this bloody key for more than ten years.

Digging is also very time-consuming.Yang Lei once told Chen Ziyang that there were several long trailers in the convoy, and the trailers' compartments were covered with thick canvas, which looked like they were pulling some large equipment.Yang Lei studied geology before, so he is familiar with some geological machinery. Through his own judgment, he thinks that the equipment loaded on the trailer is some large-scale excavation equipment.

First of all, it is necessary to find the location of the ancient country in an unknown area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers, and then excavate above the old site.Adding all kinds of things together, what is most needed is time, but what Yoshioka Yu lacks now is precisely time.So in desperation, he could only make the whole team suffer.

Chen Ziyang really doesn't understand people like Yoshioka Yuki. Judging from the size of the team, the financial resources of this Dragon Digging Club are comparable to his fifth grandfather Chen Benzhong, and they should also be rich.Now that these people are already so rich, why do they still care so much about the treasures of some ancient country, and even dig them out if they want to play their lives? Is money really that important?
Chen Ziyang also used to worry about money. When his father was seriously ill and needed medical treatment, he became a stinker for the first time.But after this matter was resolved, he never thought about robbing tombs for money. After all, he felt that money was enough to spend.

The old Taoist once told Chen Ziyang that it is hard to find a tenth in a hit, and how much money a person can earn and spend in this life is predestined, so Chen Ziyang doesn't understand Yoshioka's approach very much, according to what Chen Benzhong said It is said that the Yoshioka family is already sitting on mountains of gold and silver, so why should they be greedy?

"Ah Choo... Ah Choo... Ah Choo..." On the sixth day of the convoy's continuous driving, Yang Lei, who was leaning on the carriage, sneezed a series of times, rubbed his nose, and said to Chen Ziyang: " I said Er Yang, do you feel that there is an earthy smell in the carriage?"

Chen Ziyang also noticed this a long time ago. The carriage was very dark, and a few beams of golden sunlight came in from the gaps in the canvas. With these beams of light, Chen Ziyang saw that the particles floating in the air in the carriage were very There were many, much more than usual, and a strong smell of sand permeated the entire carriage.

After seeing Chen Ziyang nodding his head, Yang Lei walked to the rear of the carriage, stretched out two fingers, lifted a corner of the canvas, and looked outside.

The long convoy is now driving on an endless Gobi Desert. Except for scattered drought-resistant plants and some stones exposed on the surface, the Gobi Desert is just endless sand.The long dragon-like convoy rolled up the rolling yellow sand, and the yellow sand drifted to the distance under the blowing of the wind.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Lei cursed secretly, no wonder there is so much dust in the carriage, it turns out that the convoy has already run to such a place.I don't know if this Gobi Desert is like this, or because of the seasons, Yang Lei found that the sand here is very dry, and the sand particles are very fine, so it is easy to float.

Yang Lei remembered very clearly before that the car following their car was a white off-road vehicle, but now it looks like this white off-road vehicle has turned yellow, covered with a thick layer of sand. Dust covered the surface of the car body.Even Yang Lei saw that an inch thick yellow gravel had fallen on the front bumper of the car behind.

After telling Chen Ziyang about these things, the two of them began to study. They didn't know where the convoy had gone. According to the map provided by Diamond, this place should be in the west of Shaanxi Province. Could it be Qinghai Province?

In the afternoon of this day, the convoy, which had been driving for six consecutive days, finally stopped.Yang Lei, who was sleeping drowsily, had developed a conditioned reflex in the past few days. As soon as the car stopped, he grabbed three lunch boxes in a daze and walked out of the car.

But Yang Lei, who was outside, found that the reason for the motorcade to stop this time was not to have a meal, but to rest.All of a sudden, the snot bubbles came out of his happy nose.Yang Lei quickly stood on the spot, stretched vigorously, and stretched his body. Even Iron Man couldn't bear the six-day bumping.

Yang Lei, who was humming a ditty while doing radio gymnastics, noticed that many people in the convoy were looking in the direction the convoy was driving, so he also turned his head and stretched his neck to watch.

It was afternoon, the time of day when the light was the most abundant, but at the junction of the blue sky and the loess, there was an obvious black line.Yang Lei looked over carefully, it wasn't a black line, it looked like a large cloud covering the entire sky, is this why the convoy stopped?

The curious Yang Lei walked up and down within the range of the convoy while shaking his arms, secretly listening to other people's conversations.After all, this is the endless Gobi Desert, and instructor Liu and Yoshioka Yuki don’t have to worry about him running away, not to mention that even if Yang Lei escapes, it’s useless, Chen Ziyang, whom they need most, can only lie obediently in the carriage, Can't run at all.In addition, the two are a cooperative relationship in name, so Yang Lei still has a certain degree of freedom in the team.

After the long convoy swayed back and forth for two laps, Yang Lei interweaved the conversations he had overheard and added his own guesses, and finally concluded the reason why the convoy stopped to rest.

Ten kilometers ahead from where the convoy was, it was no longer the Gobi Desert, but a desert.If you want to drive in the desert, the tires of the current vehicles are not enough, so Yoshioka Yu and the others have to replace the tires of all the vehicles.

However, it doesn’t take much time to change the tires. There are two main reasons for the team to stop and rest. One is that it is very difficult to obtain supplies in the desert, so Yoshioka Yu divided some vehicles and went nearby to purchase supplies, especially It's food and water.This is to provide logistical support for the convoy entering the desert.

Another very important reason is the weather. The dark cloud that Yang Lei saw before was not a real dark cloud, but a sandstorm caused by the strong wind in the desert.

Now the direction they were going was blowing violent winds, and these strong winds rolled up the sand and gravel in the desert, forming a violent sandstorm.Moreover, the scope of the sandstorm is very wide this time, and the wind speed is very fast. The convoy can't get in at all now, and can only move forward after the sandstorm stops.

Knowing that the convoy would stay here for at least a day, Yang Lei almost jumped up with joy.Although he also knew that Yoshioka Yuu didn't have much time left, but it had nothing to do with him. The turbulence for six consecutive days made Yang Lei feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry. Now he finally had a chance to rest. Can you be unhappy?

So Yang Lei hurried back to the carriage, told Chen Ziyang the good news, and helped Chen Ziyang massage his stiff muscles at the same time.

Hearing what Yang Lei said, Chen Ziyang frowned.Although he was very happy knowing that he was finally able to rest, he was more worried.Yoshioka Yu and the others have indeed put a lot of effort into the research of this ancient treasure, which can be seen from the forbearance of instructor Liu for more than ten years, and their research has indeed achieved certain results.

Before he had fully unlocked the key to the treasure of the ancient country, Yoshioka Yu had already begun to mobilize manpower and material resources. Having prepared the tires for the vehicle to drive in the desert, it seems that they already have some understanding of the approximate location of this ancient country.

Now that we know something about it, Yoshioka Yuki brought so many people with him this time, it seems that the scale of this ancient country is definitely not small.Thinking of the magic of that bloody diamond, coupled with the size of the ancient country, Chen Ziyang couldn't imagine what he was going to face.

Especially after the convoy enters the desert, the traces of the vehicle's driving will easily disappear.At that time, I don't know if Shuai Shi and Liu Cong will be able to find themselves.

In the evening of the second day, the convoy going out for supplies joined the main force.After dinner, the people in the convoy got busy and seemed to be ready to set off.

For more than a day, besides giving Chen Ziyang a massage, what Yang Lei did the most was to climb to the top of the carriage and stare at the sandstorm in the distance.In Yang Lei's heart, the last thing he wanted was the disappearance of the sandstorm, which meant that the bumps would continue.

Seeing that the convoy wanted to start, Yang Lei looked at the sandstorm again. Although the current light is not very good, he can see that there is no shelter at the junction of the earth and the sky. It seems that the sandstorm has stopped down.

As soon as it got dark, all the vehicles in the convoy turned on their headlights and drove into the desert one after another.A string of white or yellow car light poles formed a long dragon, passing through the desert.

After resting for more than a day, Chen Ziyang's physical strength recovered a lot, and he was able to barely sit up with Yang Lei's support.He leaned against the rear of the carriage, looking out through a slit in the canvas.Although it was driving in the desert, the speed of the convoy was not slow.All vehicles in the fleet have been replaced with special tires suitable for driving in the desert.

These tires are very wide, almost twice the width of a normal tire.And the special texture on the tires makes the vehicle hardly roll up the sand and gravel in the desert when driving.Looking at the strings of car lights in the dark night, a sense of loss permeated Chen Ziyang's heart, and he felt a little homesick.

Early the next morning, when the convoy stopped for dinner for the first time in the desert, Yoshioka Xiong and Instructor Liu got into the compartment where Chen Ziyang was.

After handing over the bloody diamond to Chen Ziyang, Yoshioka said to Chen Ziyang: "Mr. Chen, we have almost arrived at the location indicated by the map, and we need you to go where we are going now." Give us clues."

After scratching his head, Chen Ziyang looked at the bloody diamond, he really didn't know what to do.But recalling the previous scene in the ancient tomb below the villa, Chen Ziyang took out the dagger, pressed his right thumb on the dagger, and drew a wound, then he stretched out his right hand, It is necessary to press the wound on the diamond.

"Er Yang, are you crazy? Your left arm is gone, and now you don't even want your right arm?" Yang Lei shouted excitedly.

After giving Yang Lei a look and telling him not to talk too much, Chen Ziyang pressed the thumb of his right hand on the diamond under the expectant eyes of Yoshioka Xiong and Instructor Liu.
