It's not just sand and soil. There's also a lot of gravel pouring down.
This well is nearly a hundred meters deep. I don’t know how the Saklar people without any machinery dug it. At such a high distance, the force of falling sand is so strong that a stone is as simple as a bullet.
The sand hit him. Chen Zhe was dwarfed and in great pain. After dodging two stones, he pinched his fingers and made horizontal strokes on his head. Countless stones and sand stopped on top of his head, and then waved to the side. Put these heavy objects aside.
"Something happened up there." Chen Zhe raised his head and looked up. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and he couldn't see anything clearly from here.
After Yang Lin and others put Chen Zhe down, they felt the bottom and waited slowly beside him.
"There should be water down there." Kavin leaned towards the well mouth and looked down. When he walked over, he kicked the sand under his feet and fell into the well.
Hao Zhongwen suddenly pushed him away: "Stay away from this well, idiot."
Although he was injured, his strength was not small. This push directly pushed Kavin away and fell to the sand. He also rolled twice on the ground.
"Why did you push me?" Kavin had never been beaten since he was a child. When he raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears. He was angry and aggrieved.
Hao Zhongwen stared at him: "If you bring the sand into the well, it will hit Chen Zhe. What will you do if you hurt him?"
"Isn't it just a little bit of sand? It can still hurt people. He is so delicate." Kavin curled his lips.
Hao Zhongwen sighed. He could no longer tolerate Calvin's idiots. If his superiors hadn't asked him to protect the safety of Professor Wang Jianan and his party, he wouldn't have bothered to care about these idiots.
"If you come near the mouth of the well again, I'll throw you in when Chen Zhe comes up. If you don't believe me, just try." Hao Zhongwen looked at Calvin coldly. There were some things he was too lazy to explain to such an idiot.
Yang Lin walked over expressionlessly and pulled up Calvin.
The aggrieved Cavin suddenly felt as if he had met a revolutionary comrade. He stood up and said to Yang Lin aggrievedly: "Yang Lin, thank you. You think I'm right, isn't it? It's just a little bit of sand."
"You forgot the height of the wellhead. The distance we have to lower it down is about a hundred meters. A stone from such a high distance may kill Chen Zhe." Yang Lin looked at him quietly.
Kavin smiled awkwardly. He knew in his heart that he had done something wrong. But he certainly couldn't admit it: "That guy hits people so hard. He can even be stoned to death."
Chen Zhe was still busy down there for a while, so everyone had nothing to do during this period. They rested not far from the well. A few people found a dilapidated stone house next to the well that was mostly buried by wind and sand. Although it was leaking from the wind and rain. But it can provide shade.
Hao Zhongwen sat at the mouth of the well, resting with his eyes half closed. He spent a lot of energy during this period. It was not easy.
The most unsettling thing is that there is no fork in the road. There is nothing. The CUHK student named Chen Duo mysteriously disappeared halfway. There is something weird about this. Hao Zhongwen is a little uneasy.
"Hey, there's someone over there." Wang Zhuo, standing at the window of the stone house, pointed to the sand dunes in front of him.
Hao Zhongwen immediately raised his head warily and looked at the direction Wang Zhuo was pointing. Sure enough, there were a few yellow shadows shaking in the distance. The color was similar to that of sand. If he hadn't seen the shadow moving, he wouldn't have been able to tell the difference at all.
There are no people around here. Except for these people from the archaeological team, how could there be anyone else?
Hao Zhongwen immediately jumped up: "Everyone, pay attention. There seems to be someone over there."
Kong Yishan, Li Lingwei and others immediately cheered up.
Kavin and Ma Xiao were taking a nap in a shady corner of the stone house. Hearing this, Ma Xiao lazily opened his eyes: "How is that possible? You must have read it wrong."
Hao Zhongwen waved his hand and called Li Lingwei, Yang Lin, and Wang Zhuo to his side: "How have you mastered the guns in your hands? I just taught you how to shoot and change bullets. Do you understand? Do you understand? question."
"No problem." Although they have never fired a shot, guns are not complicated in the first place. Just play with them for a while.
Alas, none of these students have ever fired a gun, let alone someone. Hao Zhongwen, who is familiar with firearms, knows that a person who has just been exposed to firearms can still do it. If he really encounters an enemy, it will be difficult to have any effect.
It's probably better to let them hold a stick than to hold a gun. It's better than nothing.
Yang Lin nodded. Li Lingwei and Wang Zhuo were a little disapproving. There couldn't be anyone here. Even if there were people, they were tourists or adventurers. What could happen? They have guns. Even if they encounter criminals again, they won't be afraid of them.
Only Hao Zhongwen knew that in this situation, especially when he has encountered several extremely vicious criminals, he must be fully prepared.
"Pay attention to your concealment. Yang Lin, take a rest behind the pillar over there. Li Lingwei, you'd better stand on top of the stone house. Wang Zhuo, you're behind the sand dune over there." Hao Zhongwen waved his hand. Yang Lin immediately walked over. Fortunately, Li Lingwei and Wang Zhuo were more receptive and followed Hao Zhongwen's instructions without saying a word.
Several ambush locations were arranged. Hao Zhongwen did not forget to tell them: "Point the gun towards the sky. Do not point it at the human body easily. To prevent accidental discharge and injury to people."
We only do these things just in case. Hao Zhongwen also doesn't believe that these people are so unlucky. They just encountered a group of criminals. If they can encounter them again, the chance is comparable to winning the lottery.
He looked at those few dim shadows. Not to mention, the shadows disappeared.
Hao Zhongwen just breathed a sigh of relief and saw it from a closer distance...
The path of those yellow shadows was very strange. They didn't look like people. They were in the desert. Hao Zhongwen and others were standing on a high ground and could see very far. Those people were probably several miles away, but they were already there at this time. We were so close that we could see the outlines of three people in our line of sight.
Blinking his eyes again, those people were already close at hand.
It's really here.
Hao Zhongwen touched the assault rifle next to him. It was as if he had a capable comrade beside him. He felt a little more confident!
There were three people who came. They were all wearing large yellow cloaks. They looked like vampires in the movie. And their legs didn't bend very much when they walked. They looked like they were floating on the sand.
It wasn't just him. Others also felt something was wrong and started to get nervous.
"Stop, who are you? Why are you here?" Hao Zhongwen raised the assault rifle in his hand. The muzzle of the gun was pointed in the direction of the three people. It was just that the crosshair was slightly raised. It would not really cause a fire and injure anyone.
The man walking in front raised his hat and revealed a simple face: "Brother Hao, it's me."
This is the face of Chen Duo. Although he is not very noticeable in the archaeological team composed of these students and does not know how to speak. Hao Zhongwen still carefully observed everyone's words and deeds. There is no doubt that it is Chen Duo.
As he spoke, Chen Duo walked a few steps forward with a smile. The classmates all breathed a sigh of relief. Kong Yishan revealed his head from the stone house: "It turns out to be Chen Duo. We were shocked. We thought it was those cultural relics again. Where is the dealer?"
"It's me." Chen Duo took a few steps forward and got closer to Hao Zhongwen. He smiled innocently and harmlessly.
Hao Zhongwen suddenly raised the gun in his hand and hit the sand with a bang. The sand splashed high.
"Don't move. Just stand there and don't move." He looked at Chen Duo coldly.
Chen Duo sneered. Not only did he not stop, but he quickened his pace anyway. He only took one step, but suddenly appeared in front of Hao Zhongwen. Hao Zhongwen reacted very quickly. Just as he was about to pull the trigger again, he was stopped. A person next to Chen Duo waved his hand and patted the gun.
The alloy gun barrel broke immediately. Hao Zhongwen felt as if he was hit by a bison. For some reason, his body rolled in the air and landed on the sand.
A sudden change occurred. Everyone was stunned with fear.
Chen Duo chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I am different from those cultural relic dealers who kill without blinking an eye. We are not here to steal cultural relics. We are just here to find a few things."
"Shoot quickly." Hao Zhongwen suddenly shouted.
Bang.
Wang Zhuo, who was hiding in the dark, pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, the first time he fired was at someone. His hands were already shaking so much that he didn't know where the shot hit.
Chen Duo laughed. He didn't make any move. Someone beside him suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Wang Zhuo, who was more than ten meters away. He grabbed Wang Zhuo and threw him to the ground. The gun had been broken into pieces.
Li Lingwei didn't even have time to use the gun. Another person picked him up by the neck and threw him to the ground.
Hao Zhongwen sighed in annoyance. It's over. The other party is indeed not a good person. Chen Duo is basically a criminal hiding among the students. He should have made detailed arrangements earlier.
Fortunately, Yang Lin hid very secretly.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
The gunshots were very rhythmic. Yang Lin fired three shots in succession, one for each person. At this juncture, she, a female college student, was a little too angry. She was still very patient and aimed at each person and fired.
Hao Zhongwen breathed a sigh of relief. He could feel that although it was impossible for all three shots to hit, at least two of them were accurate.
Chen Duo swayed slightly. There was a hint of joking in his smile. He shook his head: "Guns are useless against us."
He stretched out his hand and opened it with his palm facing up. In his palm were three deformed bullets.
Chen Duo waved his hand, pointed at Hao Zhongwen and said to the person next to him: "Uncle Lin, arrest this man first. He was once a special forces soldier in the army. He is top-notch in skill."
"Special Forces." The middle-aged man named Uncle Lin next to Chen Duo smiled a little disdainfully: "This can also be called first-rate."
He swayed and arrived in front of Hao Zhongwen. He stretched out his hand to grab Hao Zhongwen.
The injured Hao Zhongwen suddenly turned over in the sand. He kicked up the sand under his feet and flew towards Uncle Lin's face. Uncle Lin's sight was blocked and he subconsciously dodged. Hao Zhongwen turned around and grabbed the gun in his hand. Just one shot back.
A stream of blood spattered out. A hole was opened in Uncle Lin's shoulder.
