Chapter 1832 Avoiding the Wind and Sand

In order to improve the concealment, the desert camouflage combat uniform provided by the equipment brigade has a strong anti-infrared detection function. The combat uniform visible to the naked eye can achieve the effect of invisibility under infrared detection. However, Luo Zheng did not dare to gamble. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, He led everyone into the sand dunes and quickly shouted: "Spread out, take cover, pay attention to the flight path of the drone, and hide behind the blind spots."

"Yes." Everyone agreed knowingly, quickly dispersed, and each found a place to hide.

"Shi Qian, you follow me, Xue'er, you take Cao Xi." Luo Zheng continued, pulling Shi Qian to hide behind a sand dune to observe the night sky, and soon found a drone flying over, Luo Zheng Keeping an eye on the route the drone flew over, he led Shi Qian around the dunes, hiding himself behind the dunes where the drone couldn't see.

Although the drone takes pictures at high altitudes and has very few blind spots, it also has a certain tilted blind spot. Finding this dead spot, coupled with the anti-infrared detection combat uniform on the body, can greatly reduce the chance of being discovered. The drone is getting closer and closer, Luo Zheng pulled Shi Qian and quickly threw himself on the sand dune, while reminding: "Stay close to the sand dune, don't move, don't look up, hide your face in the sand."

His face was not covered by anti-infrared equipment, and it would be very troublesome once he was photographed. Luo Zheng did not dare to be careless. After the drone whizzed away, Luo Zheng stood up, spit out the sand in his mouth, and wiped his face Looking at the drone that was going away, he shouted: "Don't move, everyone, let's check the situation before we talk."

"Yes." Everyone whispered.

"What's wrong? How can we prevent detection like this?" Shi Qian wiped the sand from his face and asked.

"The desert camouflage combat uniform you are wearing is specially made. It has a high anti-infrared detection function. The possibility of being discovered is very small. In addition, we have used this sand dune to block it. It is not sure whether we can avoid it. It depends. It depends on the situation. If the drone never returns, it means we have successfully avoided detection, otherwise we will be in big trouble." Luo Zheng explained solemnly, while looking towards the night sky.

After waiting for a while, the drone did not turn around. Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Brothers, continue on your way. You must arrive at the intended destination before dawn. Advance in three columns, so be fast."

"Yes." Everyone shouted in unison, forming three columns into small groups and trotting forward.

Luo Zheng took Shi Qian, Cao Xi and Lan Xue behind the team. While running, Luo Zheng paid attention to Shi Qian and Cao Xi and found that they could still keep up with their physical strength. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "The weather has changed." It’s very cold, can you guys do it? If there’s anything wrong, tell me right away.”

"Understood, this damn desert, it should be more than ten degrees below zero right now, right?" Shi Qian agreed.

"The temperature will continue to drop. It is entirely possible to reach minus 20 degrees in three hours. Running will consume too much calories and water. Continuous running may lead to collapse and dehydration, especially running at minus 20 degrees. My body can't bear it at all." Cao Xi reminded from the side.

"We have no problem. We have trained in extremely cold environments. But if you can't bear it, tell me immediately and I will find a way." Luo Zheng quickly replied, while thinking deeply, if they were all his brothers, there would be no problem in running away. Big, but with Shi Qian and Cao Xi in the team, we had to think more.

"It's okay for you, and it's okay for both of us. I have a pill that can keep out the cold, but I don't have much left. It's very troublesome to refine. If it's just used by the two of us, it can last for a few days." Cao Xi replied road.

"Is there such a good thing?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"It's been handed down from our ancestors," Cao Xi replied.

Luo Zheng was startled and realized that the ancestors of the Cao Xi family were engaged in tomb robbing. This kind of work required frequent visits to cold places. It was normal to be able to refine such cold-repelling pills. It was a matter of personal privacy. Luo Zheng did not say anything more. He was subtle and said with a smile: "That's good, my people are not needed, just pay attention to yourself inside."

The team continued to move forward. After an hour, the wind got a lot stronger, blowing the cold sand. Everyone had to pull away the scarves around their necks to cover their faces, leaving only the tactical goggles outside. After walking for a while, the wind became even stronger. It was so big that the person who blew it was a little unsteady, and the sand hitting the body was very uncomfortable.

Luo Zheng raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already around twelve o'clock in the night, and the surrounding temperature had indeed reached more than 20 degrees below zero. If he hadn't been wearing special cold-proof clothing, he would never have been able to bear it. Look at the surrounding terrain, it's not far away There was a sand dune everywhere, more than 20 meters above the ground. He quickly shouted: "Stop moving forward and go camping behind the sand dune."

Everyone quickly stopped running and followed Luo Zheng to the sand dune. Behind them was a sand pit, about ten meters deep and about twenty meters in diameter. It was surrounded by hills and looked like a naturally formed sand pit. The big bowl was big on the top and small on the bottom. Luo Zheng quickly shouted: "Go down below to take shelter from the wind."

"Yes." Everyone rushed down. This kind of sand pit terrain was very dangerous and could be filled with sand and dust blown by the wind at any time. But there was no better choice around, so we had to give it a try.

Everyone rushed to the bottom of the sand pit and found that the wind was much lighter. They untied the scarves around their necks to breathe and shake off the sand and dust. Luo Zheng looked up and saw the wind blowing the fine sand on the dunes flying all over the sky without stopping. Meaning, when the cold air is breathed into the body, it feels like the whole body is frozen, which is extremely uncomfortable.

This extremely bad weather made Luo Zheng's expression serious. He shook off the fine sand on his scarf and wrapped it around his neck again. He looked up at the moon hanging in the sky and shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, you can't do this in this damn weather." When sleeping, if you really want to sleep, you have to take turns. Two people work together to remind each other, and each time can’t exceed ten minutes.”

Sleeping in extremely cold areas is taboo, and it is easy to fall asleep. Everyone understood this and agreed in unison. Lan Xue looked at Luo Zheng with a solemn face and said, "Beware of the increase in wind strength. If a storm or tornado forms, Then we can’t hide here.”

"Yes." Luo Zheng said in a deep voice, looking at the sky and thinking deeply.

"Don't worry, it's already the strongest wind now. The wind will weaken in half an hour at most." Cao Xi said confidently while looking at the night sky.

"Huh? Reason?" Luo Zheng asked curiously.

"Just believe me. If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Cao Xi replied, not wanting to explain more.

Luo Zheng was startled and glanced at Cao Xi curiously. Seeing Cao Xi's confident look, he couldn't help but believe it. Next to him, Shi Qian was worried that Luo Zheng had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "It's her family's ancestral tradition to discern yin and yang through stargazing." The ability.”

"I won't ask about the things passed down from our ancestors. Let's wait and see." Luo Zheng said with a suspicious smile.
