Chapter 64

After searching and finding out for several kilometers, the emperor finally paid off his heart and let Cheng Chong find a place where he could barely shade on the desolate Gobi desert.

There are two or three Populus euphratica trees arranged from east to west. The crown is not very large, and there are many dead branches. They are intertwined with each other, like a beautiful and profound oil painting. Everywhere is full of vicissitudes and desolation. At the same time, it also shows mankind the tenacity of life and its own value.

This is extremely rare in the perennial arid Gobi desert. God knows how they survive in such a bad environment?

Cheng Chong groped close and watched everything around him.

Finally, under the Populus euphratica tree in the west, Cheng Chong, with great care, vaguely found traces of human beings. However, under the tree, there was a very smooth pebble, which seemed to have been sat by people. On the side, there was a Populus euphratica tree root with a large bowl mouth exposed. The tree root was also very smooth, which seemed to be a pure natural bench. In addition, several discarded cigarette butts were found around. Looking at the brands and characters of those cigarette butts, they are neither owned by China nor consumed by Chinese people.

Obviously, not only have people come to this place, but also it is likely that they are not Chinese.

Who would they be? What are they doing here? Do they have anything to do with the people of ITO?

However, Cheng Chong still couldn't judge it for a moment only by the clues around him.

But obviously, this place is not suitable for camouflage.

But Cheng Chong is not willing to give up this place. How difficult it is to find such a barely shady place on the desolate Gobi desert! And every time I think of the scenes under the hot sun yesterday, I can't help sweating, and I still have lingering palpitations at the moment!

Moreover, he had little water on his body. He didn't have the courage to endure another day in the hot sun, because in that way, even if he had strong willpower, the original but extremely sophisticated machine of his body must be angry and strike.

After much thought, Cheng Chong chose to play camouflage under the Populus euphratica tree in the East. There are scattered camel thorns and some sparse Achnatherum splendens under the tree. Although it is not very dense, it can be regarded as an extremely precious green on the Gobi desert with almost only sand and gravel.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see that few people set foot in this place. If they lurk here, these sporadic camel thorns and Achnatherum splendens can also provide a good camouflage for themselves.

Cheng Chong takes off his backpack and quickly digs a shelter. The project is as small as possible. On the one hand, it can save physical strength, and on the other hand, the movement and noise will not be too large, so that it destroys the original environment around, which makes people suspicious.

After he carefully lurked down, he looked around warily and found that he was almost integrated with the surrounding environment. If he didn't look carefully, he was almost cheated. He was very satisfied with his increasingly good disguise.

After doing this, Cheng Chong quietly opened the backpack hidden on his side, took out some compressed biscuits, and then wolfed down. It was a little energy for himself. He didn't dare to drink any more water, because after running this night, he had too little water left.

If someone asks, what is the most precious thing in the desert? People who have been to the desert Gobi will reply to him without hesitation. Water is water! Because in the desolate and arid desert Gobi, water is directly equivalent to life to a great extent, but life is priceless.

Cheng Chong began to worry about his situation. His water was almost finished, but the enemy had not found a shadow. Where was the secret base of Yidong organization? How far is it from yourself? Did you go in the wrong direction during the two nights of running?

These are very realistic and serious problems?

However, what makes him feel headache and uneasiness most is that he is about to face the danger of water shortage. Since ancient times, how many people have never walked out of the desert because of lack of water. Whether he can successfully get out of the seemingly boundless Gobi desert this time is really bottomless. If he can't even do this, let alone avenge his dead comrades in arms.

Cheng Chong had thought about this problem, so he specially bought a large soft leather water bag, but he never thought that the environment in the Gobi desert would be so bad that almost all life bodies were excluded. Any life body in the Gobi desert must undergo a very difficult test.

No wonder those bastards of the damn ITO organization set up their secret base in this place. No wonder the armies of so many countries failed to completely eliminate them for so many years. This harsh environment turned out to be their natural barrier and strong defense line.

Cheng Chong began to feel a little uneasy. His eyes looked at the distance that was about to be penetrated by the morning light. At the moment, he was very tired. What made him more uncomfortable was the compressed biscuits he had just eaten. At this time, he was wantonly absorbing water in his intestines and stomach. His originally very low water shortage body was almost sucked dry by it.

Because he was thirsty, he felt that almost all the blood in his body began to become viscous. His body was empty and light. He thought that if anyone wore a thread on him at the moment, he seemed to be able to float directly with the wind like a kite.

sleep yes! Shit! Sleep may not feel thirsty!

Suddenly, Cheng Chong's brain flashed with this very genius idea. Sleep, this is really a good way. Sleeping can divert people's attention, or temporarily shut down those painful feelings. This is all used by people who borrow alcohol to relieve their worries. The problem is that wine can't really relieve your worries, otherwise how can you say that it's more worrying to relieve your worries with wine. Similarly, sleep does not fundamentally quench thirst.

However, Cheng Chong said that he really fell asleep when he slept, which was enough to make those who still had insomnia in the middle of the night bite their teeth with envy, because at this time, he was really too tired and sleepy. He consumed a lot of physical energy in recent days, and after baking all day in the hot sun yesterday, if he was an ordinary person, he would have collapsed.

It's amazing that he can stand up to this moment.

Maybe he is thirsty. This time, Cheng Chong sleeps very shallow, wakes up from time to time, and his head is drowsy. Many times, he is half asleep and half awake. His body is like a kite, floating and floating in the void. I don't know where to go?

Suddenly, a big smell of mutton came fiercely, and suddenly opened his eyes, but when he saw the hot sun hanging high, a large group of sheep appeared in front of him. These sheep probably haven't taken a bath since they were born. Their white wool has been dyed earthy yellow by nature, so the smell of mutton is particularly thick.

What's going on? Cheng Chong, who came back to his senses, was in a habit and almost jumped out of the bunker. When he woke up completely, he immediately stopped all his reckless actions and still climbed in the simple bunker motionless.

Since there are sheep, naturally there will be sheep herders. What kind of person will he be? Does he have anything to do with ITO? Before Cheng Chong, the veterans said that many terrorists would force the herdsmen, farmers and even children around them to stand guard and inform them.

Will this herdsman be the eyelid of the Idon?

Cheng Chong lay down in the bunker and looked into the distance. Sure enough, an elderly herdsman appeared about 100 meters behind the sheep. His dress was not far from that of the minority herdsmen in the northwest. He was wrapped with a thick scarf on his head and a cigarette gun at least one foot long in his hand. Every few steps, he took a puff of smoke, very leisurely.

Cheng Chong lay motionless in the bunker and closely monitored the herdsman's every move. But when he saw him staggering to the West under the Populus euphratica tree, he sat down and smoked dry tobacco for a while. He actually opened his voice and sang.

Cheng Chong couldn't understand a word of the song, but the tone was so sad and desolate. If normal people listened to it, they would get depression, and if depressed patients listened to it, they might commit suicide immediately. But the penetrating power of the song is so strong that you can hear it clearly from a few kilometers away.

Cheng Chong is neither a shit artist nor a music enthusiast. He is not interested in enjoying the desolate and graceful singing of the old herdsman. But in a detailed analysis of the sudden situation in front of us.

Just now, with the smooth pebble and the Populus euphratica root with the big bowl mouth, I realized that someone had come to this place. The old herdsman skillfully found the location and sat down without looking. It can be seen that he often comes to this place.

But he smokes dry cigarettes, and just now he found several discarded cigarette butts at that location. According to the normal situation, people who are used to paper cigarettes are generally not used to dry tobacco. Similarly, people who are used to dry tobacco may not be used to smoking because of the wrong taste.

In other words, there may have been others in this place, so who would they be? Will they know this old herdsman? Will they have any connection?

This is not Cheng Chong's self doubt, but he is alone in the enemy's territory and surrounded by danger. He has to be cautious, because as long as he is careless, he will be doomed.

What else does the old herdsman mean by singing? Or is it purely a whim.

However, from a military point of view, singing is definitely not just a simple singing. It may be transmitting a signal. Moreover, this kind of singing can spread far and far on the desolate Gobi desert. Even if you are several kilometers away, you can hear it clearly.

The old herdsman can't really tell someone by singing! Has he found himself?

At the thought of this, Cheng Chong immediately shuddered and felt creepy.
