Chapter Twenty-Six: The Yellow Sand and the Beginning

The temperature was high, and the fiery red glow of the setting sun was dazzlingly reflected by the endless sea of sand in front of me. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The wind and sand made everyone who got off the bus squint slightly. They jumped off the heavy trucks one by one with their weapons in their arms, and the logistics department personnel of the military school did not say a word, and they walked into the small dilapidated station after being scorched by the scorching sun, and a thick layer of yellow sand was piled up inside, which submerged the legs of the few wooden tables.

The cracked wood had traces of iron fixation, and it was covered with fine dust. After Kasia and the others followed the two men from the logistics department inside, the powder began to wander around the slightly quiet room. Everything inside was as dry as yellow sand, the empty glass was filled with delicate quicksand, and the bottle had been left for no time, and the moisture inside had already been drained through the cracks above.

It's not so much a building in the form of a station as it is more like a bar. There are graffiti paintings on the walls that have been smeared with paint, but because of drying, the paint has fallen off, and only faint shadows remain there.

The logistician walked over to the cabinets containing the cups and crockpots, and dug open the yellow sand that had accumulated underneath to reveal the doors of the lockers.

Inside the locker is a steel shovel that has been out of maintenance for a long time, and although there are no traces of oxidation or insect damage, it seems that there is still heat on it.

"It's work, it's work!" the logistics department dragged out a large bundle of steel shovels tied inside, and they walked to the side of the station, where there was a tin box-like building that was about to be buried in yellow sand, revealing a corner that had been worn out by the sand for a long time.

"Dig it, the first step in your mission is to get these basic supplies in the desert, otherwise it's hard to say whether you can progress to the next step of your mission. The people in the logistics department shoveled away the piled up yellow sand, and beckoned the twenty students behind them, "This is your destination, and how to carry out the task next is your own business." But if you want to survive in the desert, water is a must, and you have to replenish steam and water to power the heavy truck. Even though we've all had surgery, it's close to seventy or eighty degrees Celsius in the middle of the day in the desert, and you're wearing this outfit and not getting baked jerky. ”

"This is a small supply depot that was previously abandoned by the military department. According to the records, there should be some desert trekking supplies left. "The yellow sand was blowing in the wind, and the two people from the logistics department were wearing masks, and they had already prepared. But among the students, there were only a handful of four people who also took out masks.

Everyone's interpretation and preparation for the task is different.

The yellow sand flies into dust and mist that fills the air, and the strong wind formed by the huge temperature difference between day and night is blocked in front of the station, forming small whirlwinds here, and the dust is also enduring.

The sand pile didn't seem to be very large, but it wasn't until the stars covered the deep blue night sky at night that the location of the tin door was barely dug out.

At this moment, the time on the mechanical watch is already at 10 o'clock.

Inside the tin door was lifeless air that had been silent for a long time, and the temperature around it had now dropped to about minus five degrees. The air you breathe in your throat is not just cold, but also a feeling of dryness that is completely devoid of moisture. In the dark yellow, which is invisible in the distance, there are still a few hungry wolf roars from time to time.

Beneath the door is a staircase made of stone that leads to the basement, on which a little gravel has also gathered. Two people from the school's logistics department walked in front with a bright light. There are only dozens of steps, and at the end of it is a short hallway, and when you go out, you can see a spacious storage room underground.

The people in the logistics department inserted the code card into the card slot on the edge of the corridor, and the various gear shafts of the difference machine that had not been in operation for a long time seemed to be rotten old bones, and the harsh friction sound of operation echoed in the underground storage room for a long time.

The high-pressure mercury lamps on the roof began to flicker like fireflies, and the stored electricity rejuvenated them after they had been left for so long.

It had been a few minutes since all the lights had come on, and the small appearance of the basement was truly visible to Cassia's eyes.

Perhaps they were already accustomed to such a dilapidated and abandoned base, and the two people from the logistics department just walked out with water pipes and steam hoses to replenish the source of power for heavy trucks. The site of the abandoned base was built on a dark river under the desert, so as to ensure that there was enough water and steam for life in such a thirsty desert.

"The supplies prepared for you are in those iron boxes in the corners, so you should have prepared for yourself, there is not much time left for you to set off. The two men went out with a long pipe, and they didn't forget to wake up Kasia, who was standing by and observing.

The boxes were tightly sealed. It may be the last thing left here, and when I abandoned this small station, I don't know how long it will take for these things to come in handy, so they are all welded into the tin box.

"I'll do it. As the crowd looked at the iron box and were worried, Gustin spoke. After the distribution of materials, it means that the team is formed, and it is exactly what he thinks in his heart to show his strength at this time.

This is an ordinary tin box with a thickness of one millimeter. Gustin drew his short sword and stepped forward to stand firmly, with great force and speed. After four sparks flashed, a boxy iron sheet fell. The iron sheet cut by the short sword revealed a silvery-white color, and the scratches were very smooth,

Several iron boxes were all sliced open, and the short sword in Gustin's hand still shimmered with cold light, and there was not even a trace of obvious friction. This not only indicates that the workmanship of the dagger is excellent, but also the precision of Gustin's swordsmanship and control of the angle of power.

Sure enough, the overall score ranking was still somewhat convincing, and Kasia stood silently in the crowd.

Inside the box were hydration bags, masks to protect against wind and sand, backpacks, clothes to shield from the sun, tents, compasses, small thermometers, detailed maps of the surrounding area, high-top shoes of various sizes, ropes、、、、 and a lot of more than enough for twenty people.

Everyone silently searched for something suitable for themselves, and then changed their clothes as needed.

Time passed quickly, and by the time everyone was ready, it was late at night, and the temperature had dropped to minus 15 degrees. A strong wind was blowing outside, and the quicksand was rolling under the drive of the wind, and the sea of sand made a small dream like the walking of countless ants.

The status of the heavy truck has been restored. The two people from the logistics department activated the heavy truck, and finally said, "You have to leave early, you can't reach the range of the Gerun Oasis before the night of the full moon, it's a very nerve-wracking thing." Finally, good luck to you!", and disappeared into the yellow sand swept through the sky with two huge lights.

The atmosphere in the basement suddenly became delicate. Because they realized that the people in the logistics department had nothing left, not even food distribution. After sending the group here, the two of them had no extra words, except for the last kind reminder.

The crowd thought of the map in their hands. When the map is unfolded, it is full of yellow sand, and a large river twists and turns like a blue blade splitting the entire huge desert in half. A crescent-shaped inner lake is embedded in the middle of the desert, and dots of green surround its starfall. One of the largest pieces of green is the green space next to the crescent moon, which is labeled "Gerun Oasis".

And the old station where they are located is marked 7734 on the map, and their eyes are visually measuring the distance between the two on the map, and they silently multiply the scale data in their hearts.

The actual distance is more than 3,000 kilometers, and the distance from the night of the full moon is thirteen days. They said in their hearts almost at the same time.
