The work of the Kalahadi Bidding Conference is in full swing, and the conference has received more than 100 registrations from large enterprises and large consortia with strength from all over the world. According to the actual capabilities Chinese of major enterprise consortia and the distribution of companies, a preliminary screening was carried out, and more than 50 were finally determined.

All of this work was prepared in advance by Andrey and William. At this moment, Xu Youbing is leading people to walk with difficulty in the uninhabited Kalahadi desert.

Since dealing with Haiyi's uncle and nephew, Xu Youbing led a hardcover team of more than 50 people to the heart of the desert. Among them are Wang Zhijun and Luo Susu. The Kalahadi Desert is not very undulating on the surface, and it can be said that there are no particularly high hills and rocks. The average altitude here is more than 9oo meters. However, it belongs to the dune structure and is the largest dune-like desert in the world.

In addition to the sand dunes, there are desert plains everywhere and a few shallow lakes. The depth of the sand here is not very large, according to the preliminary survey report, it is only about 60 meters. However, it contains a large amount of iron oxide covering the sand grains, so it seems that the desert here is mostly red.

At this moment, Xu Youbing was lying on the shady slope of a hill tiredly. Luo Susu beside him took off his water bottle and handed it to Xu Youbing with pity on his face: "Drink some water and replenish a little physical strength!"

"Okay, you drink some too! Susu, I really shouldn't have taken you, this bullshit place, we don't even have a signal, and the phone can't get through. During the day, the sun is like a fire, which can scorch the buttocks, and at night the temperature is terrible cold. Look at you, your face is extremely bad. ”

"I'm fine, it's good to be able to exercise, and besides, there's no signal, and we haven't encountered any danger. Brother Bing, you said too, if the car is not broken, we can't suffer such a big sin at all, I see, after going back, we should enter a batch of big east winds, only big east winds can adapt to the climate here. ”

"Hahaha, by the way, I'll get in touch with Dongfeng when I go back and see if I can build some sturdy pickups to be donkeys in this place like Land Rover. ”

At this moment, Wang Zhijun hurriedly crawled over with the two members of the Dharma Sword team, and Wang Zhijun was almost exhausted. He was controlling a small drone in his hand, and he had just scouted around and looked particularly helpless.

"Right soldier, it's not good, it looks like we're in big trouble, and to the east is a large salt marsh. But it is the territory of Angola, and although we can solve the water problem, the key is that we are going in the wrong direction. In this way, if we continue to move forward, I am afraid that we will not be able to rush back in time to participate in the bidding meeting of Kalahadi.

And there are many wild animals in this area, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, bears, and porcupines are very prosperous at night, and it doesn't matter if you meet lions and cheetahs, but if we encounter a large herd of hyenas, I am afraid that it will lead to an inevitable fierce battle!"

"Hyena?" Xu Youbing couldn't help but stand up and looked up at the barren area in front of him. Now if you go back the way you came, it will be nonsense, because you can't find the way you came. The desert changes every day, and even the small sand dunes are blown away by the sandstorm in an instant, and they are gone. So it's a joke to go back the way you came. But moving forward, it is obvious that not only is it affected by physical strength and various sinister factors, but it is even faced with the possibility of being attacked by wild beasts.

The hyenas are more ferocious animals in this desert than the wolves. If it's a wolf, Brother Bing is really not too afraid, because he himself has an incomprehensible wolf control technique, but in the face of the steppe hyena, the only thing that can compete with the squad of fifty people at this moment is the rifle.

"All of them, rest now, camp here today. Roast the springboks and gazelles, and roast them all! Then cut off all the meat and prepare it for dry food, and we are ready to cross the salt marsh tomorrow! The internal organs are buried in a centralized manner, and they must be buried deeply!"

Hearing the order, the soldiers immediately moved and began to slaughter the antelope, disemboweling. But the antelope blood had to be kept, because they were running out of water at the moment. Many of the water bladders are empty, and there are only a dozen jugs of water left for the scientists who are using them for exploration. These scientists are professionals who King Damishi personally spent a lot of money on for Xu Youbing, and they came to the Kalahadi Desert this time to accurately determine the problem of mineral reserves here.

But the results so far have been remarkable, and the wealth contained in this desert is staggering, completely different from what has been explored before, and the data here is much larger than the original record with just a few experts using rudimentary exploration tools.

Sweating during the day and freezing into a dog at night. The man said that Luo Susu had become a clay figure at this moment. She felt that her whole body was itchy, and her lovely little face had long since become unpresentable. Not only have I not seen a water source for more than ten days, but the water I drink has become a problem, let alone washing my face and washing.

But she couldn't suggest that Xu Youbing continue eastward, even though she knew that if she went further east, she would encounter a salt marsh, where there would definitely be water. But it also comes with endless risks, just the name of a terrible and ferocious large carnivore, and she can't help but tremble in her ears when she hears it.

The soldiers handled the food and soon began to barbecue. Fortunately, there are still some dry back plants here, so you can't eat them raw when you make a fire. But there are not many dry-backed plants, so solid fuel is also needed.

But unexpectedly, due to the large amount of bloody smell spreading, coupled with the thick smoke caused by the barbecue, it had drifted far away for several miles. And right there, dozens of hyenas are lurking.

Hyenas have very smart noses, and these guys can smell dozens of miles away, which is their survival instinct, and it is the basic skill that allows them to survive in this desert.

Several man-high hyenas suddenly crawled out of the hay nest, and they walked back and forth in front of their nest with some excitement, and suddenly one of them jumped up and scurried forward like an arrow. The instinct of smell tells them that there is food ahead, that they have been hungry for days, and that they can finally have a full meal.

"Wow......!" A few hyenas lay on the ground and howled like wolves, the most effective way to greet their companions. In the grasslands, hyenas have developed the habit of hunting in groups, because neither the antelope herd nor the musk serow can be hunted by a single hyena.

The herbivores of this group of grasslands can not be underestimated, the pointed antelope horns on their heads, and the fierce hooves, kicking over, even an adult hyena, may be kicked by them at once. The laws of biology are cruel, but the laws of flesh are more instinctive rules of survival.
