In the morning of the second day, the three of them carried a big backpack and came over. Wang Ming also took out everything he had prepared beforehand.
Once they were on the plane, Wang Ming took out the photos and looked at them for a while before saying, "We won't be researching them anymore. When we get there, we will naturally know.
When they arrived, it was quite smooth and they didn't encounter any big problems.
After getting off the plane, we found a hotel and stayed there. We bought a lot of local maps, then began to slowly study them. We searched the internet, customized the most reasonable route, and also the local weather, customs, and even the common language.
These things have wasted a lot of our time, about a week, we've been around asking around, and we need to know if there are any colleagues here, to see if those snake traders have any problems with us.
After all the preparation was done, Wang Ming bought a very cheap car and drove himself to that oasis following the map. Old Black said that the weather here was very special, and the temperature difference was great sooner or later. Furthermore, he didn't know when there would be a sandstorm and there wouldn't be much food to eat.
It's winter here, but it's so hot here, but if we don't wear clothes, we'll get sunburned. Everyone's wearing a shirt and straw hats made from tree branches, and everyone's carrying a few canteens. We might have been in there for a while, but water is the most important resource.
Wang Ming and I know a little about snakes' habits. In this kind of environment, the snake would prefer to stay in the shade or in places with water. It was a temperature-changing animal that would become active when the temperature was high and not when the temperature was low.
Catching snakes here shouldn't be easy. There wasn't any place to wait. At most, they would just be looking for some big cactus in the desert. That place could still be considered a target.
He wandered aimlessly in the desert for the whole morning without any harvest at all. He could not stand the sun any longer and did not even find a large cactus.
Uncle Xiang looked around and said, "The environment changes very quickly here. I'll tell you guys directly, if we go inside, we'll probably get lost."
As he spoke, he took out a compass, as if he was checking the direction. Then, he held the compass and said, "The magnetic field here is very chaotic. I can't even tell the direction."
Wang Ming sat on the sand and lit up a cigarette. He looked at his surroundings and said: "We are not in a good situation right now, and the area here is huge.
Old Black took a look at the sun and twirled the compass in his hand, indicating that he could still distinguish the direction when there was a sun. But at night, it was hard to tell.
Wang Ming couldn't make a decision in a short amount of time, he took out a bag of realgar from his backpack and said, "I'll sprinkle it on you, but before my hand can take it, he withdrew it. He said that the wind here is too ordinary, these things don't seem to be of any use, it seems like I have to think of another way."
I smiled and took out a few Snake Fruits from my backpack. This thing is a fatal temptation to snakes. It is said that there are nutrients required by snakes inside, so eating a Snake Fruit is more effective than eating a rabbit.
Wang Ming looked at me and shook his head, indicating that this method won't work. The area of this place is too big, the snake s reaction is basically only limited to a hundred meters, unless we have enough Snake Fruits or snakes within a hundred meter radius.
Just as I said that, Henry said something was happening nearby and told us to get down. Animals were approaching.
I threw the Snake Fruit away and laid on the ground. After a while, a snake came over. It was similar to the color of the desert, but if one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it.
Wang Ming licked his tongue in excitement. I never thought that it would be so smooth, so fast, that we would be able to find it.
That snake was very cautious and slowly crawled towards us. It occasionally lifted its head to look at the surroundings and seemed to have sensed our presence, but that didn't matter. It hadn't been a day or two since we caught the snake.
Wang Ming slowly crawled to my side and watched the snake coming towards me. When the distance was close enough, it pounced forward and grabbed towards the snake's head. The snake was extremely fast, and dodged Wang Ming's attack in an instant.
Those people followed behind us, and after running for a long time, Wang Ming shouted at us from behind: "Catch them, at night it won't be easy to find them, you must definitely catch them."
Of course I know that. This money is so easy to earn, I definitely won't let it go.
Just as I was about to get my hands on it, a strong wind blew past me, causing me to be unable to see anything. I covered my eyes, fearing that the snakes would attack me, I scattered a few Realgar Powder on my body.
When I opened my eyes, there were no traces of any snakes; it was just a stretch of boundless desert, and Wang Ming, who was by my side.
We shook our heads in disappointment, then suddenly, Wang Ming opened his eyes wide and said: "That's not right, where are the three people? He lost it just like that? "Are mercenaries that weak in physical strength?"
My attention was always on the snake's body, so I didn't pay any attention to the person behind, but when Wang Ming said this, I reacted. I was stunned for a moment, then took out my walkie-talkie.
When we entered the desert, Wang Ming gave us his walkie-talkie, but it seemed to be of use now. I shouted for the others, but the walkie-talkie didn't react at all, as if it had malfunctioned.
Wang Ming and I were so close that even his walkie-talkie could not hear my voice.
Wang Ming threw the walkie-talkie fiercely into the sand and scolded loudly, "These bastards, that Li, your father will not be finished with you until I get back."
After a while, Wang Ming calmed down, looked at me and said: "The two of us have to finish the mission, when we go back I want to extort Lee Zhiyong properly, maybe the sandstorm here split us up."
After the same thing, Wang Ming and I continued to walk forward. The sun was slowly setting in the west, and both of us had run out of stamina. After sitting on the sand to rest for a while, just as I stood up, I saw a small village in front of us.
Wang Ming was startled, then he ran towards the village with a smile on his face. He said that he had finally walked out, and that the desert wasn't very big, so I followed Wang Ming and ran forward, wanting to quickly eat, drink some water, and find a cool place to rest.
But after running a few steps, I stopped and called out to Wang Ming. "Don't go over there, come back quickly."
Wang Ming seemed to have been woken up by me, as he shook his head and looked ahead of him carefully, then stopped and slowly backed off. I went over to pull Wang Ming up, and he said while trembling: "Mirage, definitely is, cannot go over, cannot."
Wasn't this performance a bit too excessive? Even if it was a mirage, such a huge reaction? Was he at a disadvantage in the past? "Or some other master?
I pulled Wang Ming to sit down, and poured all the water in the water bottle onto his head. He glanced at me, and smiled. "Thank you, I'm fine now.
After walking for another hour, I finally saw a dilapidated house with only two walls and no roof, but it was better than nothing. I supported Wang Ming and went inside to rest for a bit.
I looked outside and said, "If the two of us want to go out, we need to find food and water. At most, we can last until tomorrow night."
Wang Ming laughed and took out a phone from his bag. He said that it was a satellite phone, he was afraid that he would encounter such a situation, and was already prepared.
After the call connected, Wang Ming told the people on the other side of the phone where he met with himself, and had them pinpoint his location.
After Wang Ming hung up the phone, he stood up with me. He said that as long as we walked forward five thousand meters, we would be able to leave the desert, but we had to ensure that we walked along a side line.
The moment I came out, I saw a snake on the ground. It looked like it was resting in a dark and cool place, as though it didn't feel our presence. I opened my eyes wide as I looked at Wang Ming.
Wang Ming and I hurriedly stood on top of the wall, and observed the situation below. There was no way we would be attacked by the snake here, and the color of the wall was very different from the snake's, so it would be seen right away.
After standing on the wall for a while, without finding the snake, Wang Ming and I jumped down. Wang Ming said, "This snake's habits are very strange, it seems to be very hard to catch, we let it escape both times. It seems that we need to plan for the next time."
I didn't say anything, but I kept having the feeling that the snake was still in the vicinity. In such a hot weather, I must be resting here, but Wang Ming didn't believe me and said that he wanted to leave the desert before nightfall to see if there was anyone on that side that could help us.
They followed Wang Ming and walked straight ahead. When it was almost dark, we finally walked out of the desert and saw the real village. However, we had to pass through a forest.
Just as I reached the front of the forest, I saw the bones inside. I glared and said, "Don't go over there. Look over there. So many people died here. We probably won't be able to get over."
Wang Ming stopped in his tracks, grabbed a handful of sand, and threw it inside. He didn't react at all, as if he was completely safe.
"This should be where the photos are. Let's take a look first and compare them. Don't worry." I took out the photo and the two of them studied it for a while.
