Chapter 3416 Bypassing the caravan
It was unknown whether the accompanying caravan was a decoy sent by the sand pirates. Out of caution and not wanting to cause trouble, Luo Zheng decided to get rid of the caravan before the suspicion occurred. The team rested in place for about two hours, and the sky became darker. It became much dimmer, the moon came out, and the cool afterglow fell on the vast desert. The air became colder and cooler. There was a sharp contrast between the night temperature in the desert and the daytime temperature.
The temperature is very high during the day, usually 34 degrees, and in some desert areas it can reach as high as 50 or 60 degrees, but at night the temperature becomes negative. Normally, people would hide behind the wind-sheltered sand dunes and pull up their tents in the desert. There were no trees to burn a bonfire, so the tents could only be used to keep out the cold. As a result, it would be difficult for people inside the tents to spot the attackers, and the risk factor became greater. Luo Zheng did not dare to stay for a long time, and immediately let the troops leave quietly.
With the protection of sand dunes, and the distance between the caravan and the caravan was about one thousand meters, the undulating sand dunes in the middle blocked the view. The team quietly left without arousing the idea of the caravan. It was already night, and it was very dangerous to continue on the road. Who would have thought that Luo Zheng and others Will you evacuate?
Marching in the cold wind not only consumes physical strength, but also consumes body heat, which is very dangerous. Luo Zheng and others have rich combat experience and know this disadvantage. After marching for an hour, the team came to a tall sand dune and found a place with favorable terrain to stop. rest.
The sentries immediately went out to investigate the surrounding situation. Others were on guard. Unexpectedly, news came soon. When a brother was investigating, he found that there was a troop stationed in the sand valley not far away. There were about two hundred people. The gun is resting, very alert, and the density of light and dark sentries is very high.
Luo Zheng was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately rushed over with Wu Jin and Jiugui to observe, and found his brother on a sandy slope. He slowly looked around and found that there was a team in the sand valley in front, with tents densely packed and camels. They were all kneeling on the ground to rest. The patrols were cruising around, and the observation posts were spread out about a kilometer away. If everyone was not in a blind spot and it was dark, they would definitely be discovered by the observation posts.
The unexpected discovery made Luo Zheng alert. Wu Jin next to him whispered: "Damn it, are these people the same group as the caravan? Seeing that they are recharging their energy, could they be waiting for midnight? A sudden attack on us forced us to evacuate in the direction of the caravan, but the caravan blocked our retreat."
"It's not impossible." The brother next to him whispered.
"Let's go around. There are too many enemies. It will be bad for us if we get entangled." Wu Jin looked at Luo Zheng and suggested.
"It makes sense, but the weather is too cold and marching is not good for us." Luo Zheng said with some worry.
"Brothers' health is not a big problem. You should be able to resist for two or three hours. Nightingale may not be able to bear it. This is a problem." Wu Jin said in a low voice.
"It's not necessarily true. Women's cold resistance is actually stronger than men's." The brother next to him warned in a low voice.
Luo Zheng's eyes lit up, he thought for a while, and said: "It's too dangerous here. Even if the team in front is not a sand bandit, even if it is a caravan, it is not good for us. As soon as day breaks and everyone is on their way, they will definitely find each other and know that we are The more people there, the greater the risk of exposure. I didn’t expect there to be so many caravans in this desert.”
"Yes, this desert is located at the junction of three countries. It is a selfish paradise. It is not surprising that there are many caravans. It is a pity that we do not have camels, otherwise we can pass it off as a caravan." Wu Jin said helplessly.
"It would be best if some blind bandit attacks us, kills them, steals their camels and disguises them as a caravan." The brother next to him whispered.
No one could do the robbery directly, but it was a different matter if someone came to the door without opening their eyes. Luo Zheng thought for a while and whispered: "Go back first."
Everyone agreed in a low voice and quickly withdrew to the camp to join the troops. Luo Zheng immediately found Nightingale and asked in a low voice: "We saw a large number of armed men in front of us. I don't know whether they are caravans or sand pirates. No matter which one is harmful to us." Unfortunately, I didn’t expect there to be so many people in this desert. We don’t need a caravan to hide our identity. We know that the more people we have, the more likely we will be exposed. We must evacuate immediately, can you do that?”
"No problem, I can handle it." Nightingale said knowingly, with a firm gaze. After all, he had received special training. His fighting ability may not be good, but his physical fitness is not bad.
Luo Zheng looked at Nightingale seriously, thought for a moment, and said nothing. He immediately contacted the headquarters and asked Blue Star to help find a safe route. With the help of satellites, he knew exactly where there was someone. Just avoid it. He originally thought that there was nothing in the desert. He didn't expect to encounter two larger caravans in just one day. The situation was different. Luo Zheng made decisive tactical adjustments and stopped dealing with the caravans.
The team quickly evacuated, marching in a circuitous way under the guidance of Blue Star, getting rid of the suspicious armed forces in the Sha Valley in front of them. After walking for more than an hour, they did not expect that there was another caravan in front of them, with an unknown number of people. They had to continue to detour for two hours. Finally, the desert opened up in front, and the undulating sand dunes were no longer visible. It was obvious that we had passed through the periphery of the desert and were about to enter the core of the desert. Everyone continued to move forward without hesitation.
After walking for more than an hour, Luo Zheng, who was marching, suddenly received a warning from Blue Star. A sandstorm was moving over. The sandstorm was not small. It came suddenly. There was no place to hide around. Everyone was surprised and looked at each other. Xiang Luozheng's expressions changed drastically.
Luo Zheng was also shocked. He quickly looked at the surrounding terrain while communicating with Lan Xing. The surroundings were all flat sand. There was no place to hide and he could only save himself. Lan Xing's words in the headset were full of anxiety, but Luo Zheng was much calmer. He scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes. Since there was no terrain to use, he had to rely on himself.
Thinking of this, Luo Zheng did not panic, but shouted loudly: "Quick, take out the ropes, everyone ties each other up, form a circle to save yourself, hurry up."
"Yes." Everyone agreed quickly with understanding. They took out the ropes from their backpacks and helped each other to tie them together so as not to be blown away by the strong wind. Seeing that the sandstorm was about to sweep over, the roaring sound was terrifying. Everyone quickly formed a group, hooked their arms tightly together, squatted on the ground, and lowered their heads. Fortunately, they all wore tactical goggles with night vision function, so they didn't have to worry about being invisible.
"Woooooooo--" The sandstorm roared in, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, setting off huge sand waves. The sand waves were five or six meters high and several kilometers long. They covered the sky and the sun and were terrifying. The powerful wind was even more The blow made everyone sway, and everyone looked worriedly at the overwhelming sand waves, and quickly lowered their heads. Their whole bodies tensed up and gravity pressed down, and they were ready to resist the sandstorm.
