Chapter 363 Transport Captain
The vicious sun in the afternoon was scorching the earth, as if he wanted to squeeze out the last piece of vitality from this already barren land. Wherever he saw, there was no place to hide from the scorching sun except under the silent and old-fashioned rocks and hills.
But even on the surface of this desert Gobi, it exudes a graceful and luxurious atmosphere, as if there is a place of dreams full of gold. Once you fall into it, you will be intoxicated and confused and can never escape.
Escape is the most severe task at present.
"Boss, why don't they come up and chase us?"
The bald man's head was shining brightly, as bright as a fairy Buddha, but there was no smile on his face. Without hair protection, he was actually the person who was most afraid of the sun. If he was accidentally burned, he would cause heat stroke and dizziness. Therefore, he wrapped his head with the hood he brought with his clothes and followed closely behind me.
I walked in front of the sun, looked at the dense steps on the sandbank, and asked, "What are they doing to catch up? Chase us into the depths of the desert, and then die of thirst here together?"
This should be the last card of the lord who loaded the hand. He acquiesced to me to leave here with the 25th boys, obviously considering the unique environment of the Gobi Desert. We marched aimlessly against the scorching sun, and most of us were weak slaves, so we would definitely not be able to leave alive.
In this way, he will be able to defeat others without fighting and turn my efforts into nothing.
Although I guessed what he thought, I really didn't want to kill him. This guy is a pure man, a ruthless person, who has got rid of the low-level people. He will definitely continue to attack me for the sake of interests, rather than venting his anger.
Then the more resources he mobilized, the more wool I could get. He acted as a qualified transportation captain like Principal Jiang, helped me transport guns and erected roof beams for me - what a pity for such a pure person to die!
"Give an order, go to the bottom of the huge rock to rest for fifteen minutes!"
I raised my long halberd to signal the team to stop, and turned my head to tighten the shadow of the huge rock, and about a hundred people were silent.
These people are all born and raised in the Gobi Desert. They are also well aware of the taboos in the desert. They know clearly, for example, when you have to travel a long distance during the day, you must speak less, do less physically waste things, and reduce water loss.
Originally, with the equipment of slaves, they were all unkempt and had no clothes on their faces. They probably had ggled as soon as they walked out of the desert. However, before leaving, Commander Erwuzi wisely ordered his subordinates to strip away all the clothes, hats and equipment of the direct troops, without leaving any enemy.
So before leaving the city guards, they had taken off their heavy armor, only wearing light-shirts and headscarves, and the heavy machetes on their hands were replaced with assault rifles of elite troops, and the excess magazines were carried by the slaves.
The desert gay clothes that were stripped off were also taken apart and distributed to the slaves present to ensure that everyone had a piece of equipment to cover the sun.
In this process, Commander Erwuzai made great contributions.
"I did a good job, and I will be reinstated as a regular when I arrive at my destination."
I shouted at the re-adjustment of the team formation, Erwuzai, who was very busy, and turned to take care of the dromedary camel in his confused expression.
This guy is indeed a talented person. His normal marching formation sounds high-end, but in fact it is the same as primary school students rehearsing radio gymnastics. How to go the fastest when marching, how to quickly change the direction when encountering an enemy, how to deal with obstacles and wild animals, how to take care of these children when they are thirsty, hungry, and tired...
These are things that I slowly understand in daily exercise, and have nothing to do with the things recorded in military books that have escaped from the cicadas, concealed the world, and surrounded Wei and saved Zhao. They are purely based on experience.
In this regard, I know much more strategies than him, but the only person I can command properly is myself, relying on personal force to conquer cities and land. If I want to develop in the future, the existence of the person in front of me will be crucial.
What's even better is that this guy looks like he has no moral integrity. He ordered his former comrades to strip away his clothes at a disagreement, leaving the lord with a row of headless corpses, which looked cruel and a little funny. I could even imagine the lord's look in his heart, and he looked furious but powerless...
I am very satisfied with this transportation team leader!
Maybe it was because he saw Commander Erwuzai was glowing and hot. The bald man had already had the ability to follow the dragon, but only he looked extremely like a burden. The fat guard felt something was wrong for a long time and hurriedly came to me to try to show his effect.
He pursed his chapped lips and said softly: "Sir, we don't have much food and drink now. Do we need to collect it and redistribute it?"
I rubbed the head of the dromedary camel and accidentally pulled off a piece of camel hair - I'm sorry, I'll add mushrooms to you. The dromedary camel, who closed his eyes and rested, reacted very slowly, just shook his head and didn't even open his eyes. I asked him angrily: "What you said is nothing to you?"
The fat guard looked at me with grievance, and his voice became even weaker: "Sir, I am worried that I will lose water and food, and I will not be able to get out of this desert. I am sincere..."
I tried to stick the hair I pulled down to the camel's scalp, but the wind in the wilderness was too strong, and I instantly blew the troubles of hair into the sky. I instantly continued to blame him for his mistake and asked back angrily: "What you said is nothing to me?"
The colonists system said that my maximum comfort temperature was 58 degrees Celsius, which was exactly the same as those modified plants, and the ordinary high temperature could not do anything to me.
The fat guard opened his mouth and couldn't speak, his expression was like a fool. He wiped the sweat beads on his fat face, raised his head and continued, "Sir, where are you going to take us? I know every oasis nearby, and I can indicate the direction!"
"Well? Do you have this function? Let's tell me the difference between the east, west, south and north first."
When the fat man heard this, he felt like he was a treasure. He immediately ran to the side of the road and picked up a dead branch, stood the branch vertically on the ground, and placed a stone at the apex of the shadow of the straight pole. After about 10 minutes, he placed another stone at the apex of the shadow of the moving straight pole. After doing this, he connected a straight line between the two stones.
I probably know this method. If it is on the earth, the direction represented by this straight line is the east-west direction, and the direction perpendicular to this straight line is the north-south direction. Among them, the straight line points to one end of the sun, and the opposite direction is the north.
But what do you know about the trajectory of the sun on this planet? Which of the two suns in the sky should be seen!
"Sir, it's the end!"
The fat man drew a cross on the ground as a mark and instantly came up with the result.
That's when I looked at him right away, and continued, "Instruct the direction of the Silent Valley, you must get there before dark."
The fat man's expression suddenly seemed to be constipated, and his words to seek credit were choked in his throat.
"Say, don't you know everything?"
I asked.
The fat man struggled for a long time and finally said intermittently: "I know this...Silent Valley. It is 45 degrees southeast of the territory. It is usually possible to reach the three hours of hiking...but..."
“But what?”
