Chapter 292
Seeing that such a large excavation equipment disappeared out of thin air, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei looked at each other, and both of them froze on the spot.Can you not be surprised?That is a super-large crawler-type excavation equipment. When the equipment was transported, several large trailers were used to pull and load the parts separately, and it was assembled after arriving here.

"My dear, such a big excavator was blown away by the wind!" Yang Lei said in surprise.

"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible to be blown away by the wind." Chen Ziyang said with certainty.

This kind of equipment is not only huge in size, but also not light in weight. According to Chen Ziyang's estimation, after this large equipment is assembled together, the total weight will be hundreds of tons, if not 1000 tons. The wind blows it away, not to mention the fact that the truck, which is much lighter than this excavation equipment, is still parked in the desert.

Just as the two of them were talking, they walked to the edge of the deep pit dug by the excavator, looked down, and found out the reason.It turned out that the excavating equipment was not blown away by the wind, but rolled down into the dug pit.

At the bottom of the deep pit dug by the excavating equipment, there are many accessories of the excavating equipment exposed. It seems that the excavator broke when it rolled down from the top of the deep pit and was divided into several pieces.The sand and soil that fell when the equipment slipped buried the equipment, and only a part of a small number of components was exposed outside the sand.

Looking around the whole picture of the deep pit, Chen Ziyang understood the reason.Because the excavation work did not make any progress before, Instructor Liu was a little anxious, so he ordered people to speed up the progress of the excavation, but this caused a very fatal problem, that is, the angle of the excavation surface of the excavated hole was not enough .

The sand on the surface of the desert is very soft and dry, even the sand below tens of meters is the same. When excavating, in order to prevent the sand from falling off the excavation surface, the entire excavation surface must use a relatively small The angle extends downward.

However, in order to speed up the excavation, it is also likely that under the persecution and abuse of Instructor Liu, these people who operate the excavator did not dig out enough angles for the excavation surface in order to save time when excavating in the later stage. too steep.

Coupled with the previous strong wind, the sand under the excavator finally couldn't bear the weight of the excavator, and a large area collapsed.So the excavator fell into the deep pit dug.Chen Ziyang guessed that instructor Liu would regret his haste after seeing this result.

Fortunately, the sand at the bottom of the pit is relatively soft, and the excavator slipped down, so it is estimated that the excavator did not have any major damage. If the excavator is brought up, it should still be able to continue to be used.But it is not an easy task to get this behemoth up.

There are two cranes in the convoy, but these two cranes are not too big. In addition, the sand around the big pit is relatively soft, which cannot withstand too much pressure, and there is no suitable slope, so these cranes are lifted at one time. The weight of the object coming up should not be too large.

Instructor Liu has arranged for manpower to lift the excavator next to the big pit.Chen Ziyang, who was standing on the side, heard that their general plan was to send people to the bottom of the big pit, dismantle the excavator into parts, and then lift up the parts of the excavator one by one, and then again Assemble.

Although this plan is most suitable for the current situation, in this way, the excavator will not be able to get out within three to five days.Just when the people around the big pit were so busy that they were preparing to rescue the excavator, suddenly someone shouted again from the direction of the camp behind them.

Moreover, this person's shout was obviously mixed with a kind of impatience. Although he was far away, he still couldn't hear what this person was shouting, but Chen Ziyang heard that this person was really screaming loudly. Shouting, so that he only shouted a few words, his voice became hoarse.

Instructor Liu quickly explained a few words to the people around him, asking them to rescue the excavator according to the plan, and then he walked towards the person who was shouting and waving while dancing.Yang Lei, who was not afraid of serious troubles, quickly supported Chen Ziyang, followed instructor Liu, and walked towards the camp.

Because Chen Ziyang was inconvenient to move around, when Yang Lei helped him to the circular camp surrounded by vehicles, Instructor Liu had already arrived there early and was yelling at the few people in front of him.After Yang Lei and Chen Ziyang stood not far away and listened for a while, they understood the reason.There was not even a drop of water left in the three water storage trucks in the camp!
Hearing the news, the two of them looked at each other, thinking that this is terrible. With so many people in the entire team, all the water used for their daily life and cooling water for the equipment used the water in these three water storage trucks.Although the water in the three vehicles is not too much, it is enough for the entire fleet to use for a month without fresh water supplies.

The convoy has only been here for a few days now, and only a small portion of the water in the three vehicles has been used.But now there is not a single drop of water left, no wonder instructor Liu is so angry.

The most feared thing in the desert is the lack of water, so instructor Liu and the others brought these three water storage trucks.Before entering the desert, the tanks of the three vehicles were filled with fresh water.So even though they are in the desert, the quality of life of the people in the convoy is not bad. Everyone can get a jug of water every day. In addition to drinking this water, there is still a little left over to be poured on a towel to wipe their faces.

But now the water disappeared out of thin air. Even Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, who thought it had little to do with this matter, realized the seriousness of the problem.

After listening for a while, the two of them understood the reason.Knowing the preciousness of the water, Instructor Liu specially arranged for a few people to guard the three water storage trucks day and night, just because he was afraid that something might go wrong.

But when the wind and sand blew before, all the people guarding the car got into the car to avoid the wind.The three water storage trucks were left unattended for most of the day.During this period of time, someone deliberately opened the drainpipes of the three cars, allowing the water to flow into the yellow sand for nothing.

After beating and scolding for a few minutes, Instructor Liu suddenly turned his gaze to Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei.In the entire convoy, only the two of them were outsiders, so Instructor Liu couldn't help but doubt it.

Staring at a pair of big eyes, when he came close, Instructor Liu pushed Yang Lei to the ground at once, pinched his neck with one hand, and at the same time took out a dagger from his body, and laid it on Yang Lei. He yelled at him, "Say, did you do it? Why did you do it?"

Instructor Liu didn't doubt Chen Ziyang, because it would take a lot of strength to open the drain valve of the water tanker, and Chen Ziyang's left arm was in such a state, it was impossible for him to turn the valve on the drain outlet, so Instructor Liu's first suspect was Yang Lei.

"Let him go! We didn't do this at all, and it's not good for us at all. If you can't get the treasure, we won't have a way to survive, so it's impossible for us to disrupt your actions. If you If you don't let him go, we'll break up, and I will never help you open the treasure again, at worst, I will exchange my two lives for the treasure with you."

From the tone of his voice, Chen Ziyang's attitude was very serious. Instructor Liu gritted his teeth and pushed Yang Lei away, got up and came to Chen Ziyang, and stretched out four fingers to him. "Mr. Chen, there are still four days." After finishing these words viciously, Instructor Liu turned and left.

After pulling Yang Lei up, Chen Ziyang helped him pat the sand on his body. Yang Lei coughed while covering his neck. It seemed that he was severely pinched by Instructor Liu just now.

"This son of a bitch, ahem... His grandma's, wait for me." Chen Ziyang helped Yang Lei pat him on the back, so that Yang Lei's cough could be relieved. At this moment, he looked at Yang Lei Chen Ziyang from behind suddenly remembered what Yang Lei had said to him before, so he hurriedly dragged Yang Lei back to the carriage of the two of them.

"Think about it carefully, whose familiar figure you mentioned just now belongs to?" Chen Ziyang asked in a low voice.

"Ah? It's this time, why are you still concerned about the back view... oh..." Yang Lei showed an expression of enlightenment, and only then did he understand what Chen Ziyang meant.

"You mean..."

"Hush..." After making a silent gesture, Chen Ziyang walked to the rear of the carriage, opened a gap in the canvas, and looked outside carefully.Now everyone in the entire camp was extremely busy, and there were no other people around the carriage of the two of them, so Chen Ziyang buckled the canvas and returned to Yang Lei's side.

"Remember? Whose is it?"

"If I could remember, I would have told you just now. I really can't remember. You mean someone came to rescue us? So they deliberately drained the water in the car tank?"

"There is this possibility. Cutting off the water is the most deadly move. Yoshioka Hsiung and Instructor Liu brought a lot of people, but in the desert, this is also very deadly, because they need to use more of water.

If it is really Shuai Ushishi who finds someone to rescue us, they will definitely act very quickly, which means that the number of people they raise will not be many.If this is the case, they found our tracks and found this place, but because of the large number of people on the side of Instructor Liu, they had no chance to attack, so they took advantage of the wind and sand to release the water in the water storage tank. , Come and rescue us when this team is self-defeating. "

"What you said is indeed reasonable, but didn't you say before that it is very difficult for them to find us? Even if they find us, where can they hide in this unobstructed desert?"

"I don't know the reason, and I don't know whether this is the case, but this is the only reasonable explanation, or there are other reasons we don't know. Forget it, don't think about it, you need to worry about it now There are too many things about the treasure, let's concentrate on studying the treasure.

After these two incidents, if there is no progress in opening the treasure, the two of us may really lose our lives. Instructor Liu will definitely take his anger on both of us. "

As soon as Chen Ziyang's words fell, the canvas of the carriage where the two of them were sitting was suddenly pulled open, and three or four people got into the carriage.Before Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei could figure out what was going on, the water bottle in the carriage of the two of them was snatched by these people.

"Damn, careless! It's too careless! Why didn't I remember just now, we should drink the water in the kettle as soon as we come back." Yang Lei said regretfully while patting his thigh.

Instructor Liu ordered people to collect the water of all the personnel in the entire convoy.But even so, all the drinking water now can only fill a bathtub. After all, it is already afternoon, and everyone has almost drunk the water distributed the day before.

Fortunately, the water prepared for dinner in the picnic car was not used up. If all the water is added together, if the rationing system is strictly implemented, it is estimated that it can be used by the entire team for three days.

In order to make up for the adverse effects caused by this incident and at the same time restore the morale of the army, Instructor Liu specially called everyone for a meeting.At the meeting, Instructor Liu told everyone to rest assured that the three water supply trucks had already set off to the nearest water source to replenish water.

Because this is not the center of the desert, three days is enough time for this hydration team to go back and forth.And in order to ensure that the water can be transported back safely in the shortest time, the supply convoy is led by Yoshioka himself.

At the same time, Instructor Liu also announced the water rationing system for the past few days. I hope everyone will be patient for these few days.Although Instructor Liu's arrangements were reasonable, a shadow still permeated the hearts of everyone in the team.

Digging and salvaging excavators have also been halted.When this kind of large-scale excavation equipment is used, it is necessary to add clean water to the coolant in a certain proportion.Now every drop of water is extremely precious. There is not enough water to drink, and it is impossible for the machine to waste it.

If the excavation work is still carried out forcibly at this time, Instructor Liu will be outraged.So although Instructor Liu was very anxious about the excavation, he had no choice but to stop the excavation.

In order to avoid wasting energy, almost all the people hid in a cool place every day without moving, waiting quietly for the arrival of three days later.

As half-prisoners, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei were even more pitiful. The others could each get a glass of water a day, but the two of them could only get a glass of water a day.Yang Lei doesn't even smoke anymore. After smoking, his throat becomes dry and he wants to drink more water.

During these three days, Chen Ziyang was still studying the matter of opening the treasure.But although he put all his thoughts on it, he still didn't make the slightest progress.

Soon, three days passed, but there was no news of the water supply team.
