The undulating sand dunes, in the dim light before dawn, appear serene and elegant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThey are a grayish-yellow color that intersects with the pale blue-gray of the sky, which is a lonely beauty.

There was not even a sound around, not even the sound of the wind at this time, everything was a still life painting of melted colors, filling the air next to the body, with a little moisture at this time. Kasia and Kara were finally able to take off their masks and inhale the rare breath of freshness. Even on the face that has been reddened by the suffocation, you can feel the subtle moisture.

"There's not much time left until the sun is completely dawn, and we need to hide until the sun is completely up. Kara spread out the map with both hands, and she placed her compass on the side of the map for reference. Thanks to the optical sight on the sniper rifle, the vision of the two of them was greatly improved.

Kara still had one eye closed, looking through her long scope into the distance, where the scenery was almost identical. There was still endless yellow sand, and the stations marked on the map did not appear in front of them.

"How's it going?" asked Kasia, opening the water bag and taking a sip of water, looking at Kara as she retracted her utensils.

"Of course it sucks. Kara turned her head and replied, "While there's still some time, let's move on to the next target." The supply station is important, but our purpose is to get there better. The other day we needed to walk a little bit more and be excited while our bodies were still in shape. ”

The footsteps of the two broke the picture-like calm, chain-like footprints winding along with the undulations of the dunes.

The sky grew brighter and brighter, and finally a ray of light suddenly appeared in the entire desert, and then countless fiery reds began to render the colors of the entire desert like a huge paintbrush. It is a picture of alternating shades of red and black, spread out in rows and rows, like a continuous wave, and disappear without a trace in tens of seconds.

The real sunlight came out, and the tremendous power contained in the rays of light could be clearly felt on the face without a mask. The increase in temperature is absolutely visible to the naked eye, and in just a few minutes, the surrounding air is silently silenced in the world of light, and dryness and heat are the main themes in the desert.

The sun came out half an hour earlier than the two had estimated, but in order not to disrupt the fixed itinerary, they climbed the blazing white sun above their heads and walked an extra ten kilometers. It wasn't until the temperature of the heat wave in front of them rose to about fifty degrees that Kasia and Kara quickly took out the skeleton of the tent they were carrying, set up camp behind the leeward slope of a chain of dunes, and then covered the entire tent with yellow sand to reduce the temperature of the midday sun.

The two of them only had one tent, and they could only simply live together during the ten-day journey.

The temperature inside the tent was not very low, the heat was like a steamer, and it was still the kind that did not have the slightest moisture. Every minute of being here is an ordeal.

"You don't have to send a sentry officer, no one will come in this weather. Those few animals in the desert must be in the same state as we are. If it comes out, it can be used as food for the day. Kara had put her heavy gear aside, and she leaned against it, her eyes closed, "Of course, I'm expecting to see people in the desert." ”

Kasia leaned back on his backpack as well, the size of the tent that didn't allow them to stretch freely. Closing her eyes, Kasia cleared her mind of thoughts, even if it wasn't an environment where she could sleep peacefully. But rest is a must, and fatigue builds up slowly. If you can't sleep, you can close your eyes and relax your body and mind, which is also a kind of rest.

I don't know how long it has been, but Kasia's mind has been in a state of confusion. The temperature rose so much that he felt very uncomfortable. He has tried his best to control his physiological activities, so that they do not waste a little more energy when they are resting. It wasn't until the reeds in the mechanical watch made a sound that Kasia and Kara opened their eyes at the same time.

"Sure enough, I didn't fall asleep. Cassia glanced at his watch, which was six o'clock in the afternoon, and they were about to get up and hurry.

"It's nice to have a break. Kara was fully armed on the side, and she set out to open the tent, and the hot yellow sand rushed in, and the heat wave seemed to find an outlet and surged over.

"The temperature is terrible, and I suddenly found that the low temperature in the school is also very gentle. Emerging from the tent, Kara was watching the sun slowly sink, her body glistening from her sun-protective clothing, and a dark shadow behind her.

The two of them continued on the road, and soon the wind picked up, and the yellow sand began to fly in the air, and the grains of sand under their feet began to travel with the wind. The dust was blown into the air, causing the last rays of dusk to flicker up and down the air like waves.

The wind reached its peak at nine o'clock in the evening, and as soon as Kasia's footsteps were raised, the footprints had been smoothed out. All traces will be completely eroded by the natural forces of the desert, leaving nothing behind.

Late at night, the wind had subsided. The animals hiding under the gravel were all dispatched at this time. While they are in a hurry, they will also choose prey to hunt. After a day of hunger, they are in the first stage and have a very high demand for food.

There was nothing to light a fire, and neither of them wanted to eat bloody food. They agreed to take the meat with them, and to cover them in the sand at noon tomorrow and let the sun steam them before eating.

In the early morning of the first day of their journey, they came to a place more than 200 miles away from the old station. The undulations of the dunes doubled their distance, and the physical exertion was very high, far exceeding the estimated value. They finally saw the trail of a section of the road in the desert, and as the road tracked and the map guided, the second planned supply station was not spared, and was completely buried under the sand dunes in the middle of nowhere.

The two of them didn't have much expectation in their hearts, but their hearts also became heavy.

The deeper you go into the desert, the greater the wind and danger. How many supply stations can exist there, and how many can not be covered by the yellow sand, I am afraid that the probability of such a situation is getting smaller and smaller.

Continuing on their way, the two of them significantly sped up. They changed their strategy, trying to get as far into the desert as possible while they had enough to do in the previous few days.

The route has not changed, and it still follows the supply depots set up one by one.

But in the continuous disappointment, the mood of the two people also became impetuous.

Seven days later, at night, the moon was so bright that I could barely see the scenery not far away. Kasia lifted her mask, her face a little pale, her mouth cracked, and her eyes full of tiredness. The body can still resist, but the spirit has begun to trance.

Today, the temperature at noon reached 90 degrees Celsius for the first time, and all the fresh meat they put outside was roasted into jerky, and the temperature at night also dropped to about 20 degrees Celsius.

The exhaled air turned into a white mist with precious moisture in it.

Now it's Kara walking in front, holding a detached scope from her sniper rifle, her bright red cross pupils that catch even more subtle light. Cassia crouched behind, studying the map in his hand, which indicated that there should be a large supply station nearby, serving as the central heart of the dozens of smaller stations around it, serving as a connecting and transit. If even such a supply station is buried by the yellow sand, then they will not have any thoughts about other supply stations or bases.

"There it is!" Kara stood on the sand dunes and looked at it for a long time, and finally a faint light appeared on her bright red cross pupils, which were the light of high-pressure mercury lamps, as a beacon-like existence in the desert sea, indicating that the lost people were in the right direction.
