Chapter 29 Lost
Qin Chuan guessed correctly. The rifle that was fire hit the camel, and it was the lead camel... The lead camel was frightened and immediately got up and ran away. The other camels naturally followed him to the wind and sand.
Bushra panicked when he came. You should know that these camels carry all his belongings. And as a "desert man", the most basic thing is that they cannot let the camels run away, which almost represents death. So Bushra hurriedly got up and shouted while chasing him.
"Come back!" Qin Chuan shouted, but Bushra couldn't hear it at all... In fact, even if he heard it, he didn't know what Qin Chuan was calling. Bushra couldn't understand German.
So Qin Chuan could only watch Bushra disappear into the dust. While he was still standing, Bazel had already dragged him up and ordered loudly in his ear: "Chasing, don't let that guy leave our sight!"
As he said that, Bazel dragged the rest of the company up and led the way in the direction of Bushra's disappearance against the wind and sand.
It is understandable that Bazer did this because his mission was to protect Bushra and Alphredo, and the more important thing was Bushra, the tour guide... Now that Bushra is in trouble, his first reaction is of course to recover him.
But in fact, Bazer's decision was wrong.
The reason is that Bushra is a veteran who has been walking in the desert for many years and survived. He naturally has his own set of skills, such as sense of direction, tracking, etc.
In other words, if Bushra runs out like this, he will most likely chase the camel and return to find the main force. Bazer runs out with his troops to search for something...that's another matter.
Although Qin Chuan felt something was wrong, he obeyed the order and followed Bazer and others to chase after him.
The visibility of the wind and sand is very low. Qin Chuan and others can only move towards the camel bell. However, as they walked, the camel bell could not be heard. Then they suddenly found that the person who was supposed to be following him did not know where he was going. Qin Chuan wanted to return to look for the large army, but he could not distinguish the direction in the wind and sand. He could vaguely see a few figures stumbled forward, so he could only follow along.
Qin Chuan tried several times to make them stop, but they all failed because as soon as they opened their mouths, the wind and sand would pour into them, which made Qin Chuan unable to make any sound.
I don’t know how long I left, but I couldn’t find Bushra and his camel. In fact... Qin Chuan and others lost themselves.
At this time, the wind and sand finally stopped. It was not until then that Qin Chuan discovered that Werner, Keller and Alphredo were walking in front of him.
"Where are the others?" Qin Chuan asked.
"I don't know!" Werner replied: "I thought they were with you!"
Qin Chuan looked around and found that it was dark at this time and there was nothing dark around him.
Then everyone shouted at the surroundings:
"Is anyone?"
"Captain Bazel!"
"Entrepreneur Kuhn!"
...
But no voice answered them, even if a few people climbed up to the top of the hill and shouted in unison.
"Are we... lost?" Alphredo asked, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.
The soldiers did not answer, and this was simply a question that needed no answer.
After pausing, Werner said, "We have two choices: one is to stay where they may send someone to us, and the other is to us to find them!"
"I don't think they will send people to find us!" Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "Because it's too common for a few soldiers to be separated or missing in the storm, and it's a desert here, no one of our soldiers will be as familiar with this land as Bushra. Sending people to find them will only make more people disappear!"
Werner thought it was right, then nodded and said, "Then... we can only go find them by ourselves!"
"But how do you find it?" Alphredo said: "We don't know their location at all. Maybe we are walking in the opposite direction and getting farther and farther away!"
Alphredo said this and Werner was speechless.
After pausing, Werner pushed the problem to Qin Chuan: "Sergeant, what should we do now?"
Qin Chuan looked at the starry sky and asked without answering, "How much water do you have left?"
"I have a pot left!"
"I have a pot and a half!"
...
Fortunately, a few people got together and there were five pots of water.
"This is my idea!" Qin Chuan said: "We must make plans to rely on these five pots of water to walk to the Oasis of Muses!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"That might be three days or even further away, Sgt.!" Werner said: "And we may not necessarily find the Oasis of Muses!"
"That's why we have to plan!" Qin Chuan replied: "Our troops are heading towards the Oasis of Muses. If we want to find them, we must go towards the Oasis of Muses!"
"Yes!" Alphredo agreed: "This way there will be no situation where we go in the opposite direction and do not know it, and it will increase the chances of finding troops or being found on the road."
"That's right!" Qin Chuan nodded: "But, this does not rule out a possibility, that is, we have never found the troops..."
"If this happens..." Werner continued: "That means we have to go all the way to the oasis!"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded: "Although I don't want this to happen, we must be prepared for this, right?"
Everyone couldn't help but remain silent when they heard this, but although they didn't say anything, they knew that Qin Chuan's plan was the most reasonable... At least others hadn't thought of any better plan.
"If you don't have any objections!" Qin Chuan shook the kettle and said, "Then from now on... we can only consume one and a half pots of water every day, so that we can hold on for at least three days. Just in case, collect urine in an empty kettle!"
Werner and others couldn't help looking at each other when they heard this.
"Sergeant!" Then Werner asked again: "But how do we know the direction of the Oasis of Mses?"
"Look up and look at the sky, Werner!" Qin Chuan said, pointing to a star in the sky, "That is the North Star, it will only appear in the north, that is... this is the east, that is, the direction of the oasis!"
As he said that, Qin Chuan raised his legs and left.
Alphredo followed and asked, "Sergeant, what if we drink all the water but can't find the oasis!"
