Chapter 24 Desert Night

It is very dangerous to get lost in the desert. You are surrounded by the same scenery, there is no reference, you can't tell the difference between east, west and north. You don't even know how far you have gone or where the boundary is. In case of bad luck

, the compass will lose its effectiveness when encountering special terrain. Therefore, when Red Beard said that he had lost his direction, Zheng Lang couldn't help but become nervous.

There are enough food and water reserves in the space-time warehouse, so starving to death is unlikely, but no one wants to wander in the desert, right?

A few people found an open place to park and prepare to camp. According to Redbeard, laymen like to camp near large sand dunes when camping in the desert, thinking that this can provide shelter and bring a certain sense of security. But this is exactly what happened

The most dangerous thing is that a strong wind at night will bury them and their tents in the sand dunes. When camping in the desert, the more open the place, the safer it is.

In Ruoqiang County, Zheng Lang prepared a lot of camping supplies, walked to the trunk of the car, and while pretending, he took out things from the warehouse, including tents, sleeping bags, windproof lamps, and instant noodles. After a while, he took out a lot,

It far exceeded the capacity of the trunk. Ruo Xi's sister had a weak IQ and didn't notice it at all. Red Beard looked puzzled, but didn't say anything.

As night fell, a few people set up a tent. In order to prevent Red Beard from becoming suspicious, they simply had instant noodles for dinner.

The surrounding yellow sand turned into silver sand under the moonlight. The temperature dropped sharply. There was too much movement when taking thick clothes from the warehouse. Zheng Lang took out a collar and put it on. This is a collar produced by Jiuqian, which is designed for military individual soldiers to adapt to the environment.

The device, referred to as the life-support ring, can automatically adjust the surrounding environment to the most comfortable state.

The wearer will feel like he is in an air-conditioned room, and it can even provide oxygen. In theory, humans can go to the moon surface just by wearing this collar.

Looking at Ruoxi who was curled up in the blanket playing with her phone, Zheng Lang took out another one and handed it over: "Here, put this on."

Ruoxi didn't know where her brain circuit had gone. She widened her eyes and said with a shy look: "Uncle, although you can do anything, this one really doesn't work. Isn't it too big to wear a collar?

, I don’t have any hobbies in that area.”

"Sister, please put it on." Zheng Lang slapped the other person on the forehead. It was really difficult to communicate.

"It's possible that my sister will accept it. You know, young people, the more they go on, the more fun they have."

Zheng Lang noticed that the conversation seemed to be slipping further and further in a strange direction, and finally couldn't help but take action and forcibly put the collar on the girl's neck.

"Okay, okay, I'll just wear it, I accept it." With Ruoxi's IQ, she didn't realize the function of the collar for a while, but she gradually felt less cold.

Zheng Lang looked at the red-bearded man snoring in his sleeping bag. He was tall and thick, and decided to omit the third collar. Gender discrimination was so serious.

Ruoxi is no longer cold and has the energy to chat: "Uncle, what on earth was that thing you met during the day? Will he chase me?"

"Did you hear what he said during the day?"

Ruoxi said angrily: "I heard it, styling, styling. He was protesting that he was not helped with his sculpting during the photo shoot. He has become like that and cares so much about his styling. He must have been a girl before he was alive."

Zheng Lang wiped his cold sweat and said: "You know what I'm looking for, right? I'm looking for something called the axis of the earth. So what the person shouted during the day was probably not the shape, but the axis."

As Jiu Qian said, creating undead people is one of the possible side effects of the space-time anchor. In this way, the mummies seen during the day are likely to be the explorers looking for the axis of the earth. Fortunately, he moves slowly

, when there is no external stimulation, he just sits there. If he ran out of the desert and entered modern society, he would probably cause an uproar.

Based on this analysis, the time and space anchor should be near the mummy, but after running so far away, Jiuqian's radar had no response at all. It should be that he went in the wrong direction when escaping during the day.

Ruoxi didn't care about this kind of thing at all. She chatted for a while and didn't want to talk any more. She touched the collar around her neck and said, "Uncle? No activity? If there is no activity, then I can go to bed?"

The word "sleep" was said very loudly. Zheng Lang looked at Ruoxi helplessly. He was so nervous. He hugged the mummy during the day and took pictures. Now he was like a normal person. "Okay, you go to sleep. Someone is always needed to keep watch.

, I will keep vigil."

"Oh." Ruoxi's eyes were lonely, and she got into the sleeping bag full of disappointment.

Zheng Lang looked around him. Red Beard was sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag. Ruoxi was completely unreliable.

And Master Ji Ba's warning about the Bearded Brigade has always been lingering in Zheng Lang's mind. This red beard's performance during the day was very problematic, and his acting was too exaggerated. He was asked to drive dozens of miles to a slow-moving mummy.

Obviously he didn't want them to get close to the time and space anchor.

Judging from the speed of movement of the mummy, even an ordinary person would not encounter much danger, let alone Zheng Lang who was equipped with equipment.

Zheng Lang didn't dare to go to bed alone. He would take out a handheld machine to play games, and look at the starry sky in a daze. There was no pollution in the desert. This scene of stars in the sky has long been invisible in the city, and there was no trace around.

There were no sounds or lights, not even the chirping of insects or birds. It was completely unlike the human world. This was an experience that ordinary people could not imagine.



At dawn, Zheng Lang woke up with a start and found that he had fallen asleep. Fortunately, nothing happened. Ruoxi was still huddled in the sleeping bag and fell asleep, drooling all over her face. Red Beard had gotten up early and was standing not far away.

Looking up at the sky, he looked like a worldly expert. When he heard something moving behind him, he slowly turned around and said, "I watch the sky at night. I think the center of Lop Nur should be over there."

The direction of Redbeard's finger was exactly the direction of travel during the day, getting further and further away from the mummy.

Stargazing at night? Watching your sister at night! How can a beard pretend to be elegant?

Ah, bah, Zheng Lang hurriedly spat out and regretted it. Even if Redbeard had a girl, he wouldn't want to watch her at night even if he was beaten to death.

Redbeard pretended to be a master and wanted to lead everyone away from the mummies, but there was indeed a problem.

But Zheng Lang insisted on going back. The mummy moved slowly. Since it appeared there, the earth's axis, that is, the space-time anchor, must be nearby. After walking so far this way, the radar did not respond. If it walked to the other side, the signal might

will be triggered.

The two argued. Red Beard was just a guide. He couldn't act too abruptly. He had no choice but to listen to Zheng Lang and walk back. Red Beard muttered: "You will regret it, and the gods will punish you."

Ruoxi was awakened by the quarrel between the two, and stepped forward to hold Zheng Lang's arm: "What god is he talking about?"
