"Xiangyun, how can this be for you? Do you think, the purpose of our trip is to cross Taklamakan and find the ancient city of Zamar as a sample, if you can't even solve this difficulty, how can you go to Zagrama Mountain? ”

Xiangyun was a little confused and asked, "Really...... Is it really not dangerous? It is said on TV that the Taklamakan Desert is the most dangerous desert in the world, and no one can trek through it. ”

Chu Tianyue said that you can put ten thousand hearts, I have been to Taklamakan before, and I have heard the legend of the ancient city of Zamar. It just so happened that our department had organized a search for the ruins of this ancient city for thousands of years, and I am a living map! Rest assured, we'll be back soon!

Chu Tianyue lied to her, just wanted her to recuperate with peace of mind, in fact, she had never been to Taklamakan at all, but the legend of the ancient city of Zamar is true, and every archaeologist in the Western Regions wants to witness the true appearance of this ancient city in the Western Regions.

Hua Bule and Lei Wenwen stayed behind to take care of him, while the others immediately set off all the way west to find the ancient city of Zamar.

If you want to be a good desert explorer, you must be prepared for the dangers you will face in advance. The reason why this abandoned oil town still exists today must also have its meaning of existence. Every year in spring and autumn, explorers from all over the world make their final supplies here, which is the only source of income for the town now.

There are no other camels in the town, there are hundreds of camels that can be rented, and a new profession has been born, adventure guides! But when they told the destination of the trip, the old guide decisively refused.

Generally, those who come here to explore are playing tickets, and most of them go to the edge of the desert, take a few photos and leave. How can there be such an outlaw as them? And it's not yet spring, and the road to the ancient city of Zamar is not safe, and sandstorms are common. There is no need for a guide to lose his life just because he makes a few bucks.

Money can make ghosts grind, Ma Chengfeng still spent a lot of money to buy a map to the ruins of the ancient city. Judging from the map, they were going to travel forty kilometers to the west, but this was not a plain, nor a mountain, this was a desert! Forty kilometers of dirt roads are relatively much a journey to hell.

Three camels, plenty of water and food were all prepared. With scarves over their faces and jackets, the three of them embarked on their first journey into the desert of death.

The first part of the road was relatively smooth, within 10 kilometers around the oil town, there were all oil extractors and color steel houses where former oil workers lived temporarily, and even some oil production drilling wells were still working, and sometimes oil well workers could be seen waving hello to them. If you are tired here, you can go in and take shelter from the wind and sand even if you are cold.

But when they walked through this oil well and left the town behind, they really understood what the most terrible death desert in the world was!

The vast desert is a desolate and poignant place that words cannot describe. The first time we entered the desert, we were attracted by this strange scene at first, and we talked and laughed with each other. But within a few hours, the wind and sand in the desert completely overwhelmed them. This endless desert is like a vast ocean, and they are small fish swimming in the sea. The sky was full of yellow sand, and the sand wind kept beating on the face, and if you couldn't go far, you had to pat your ears, and your ears were already stuffed with sand.

There was a large sand dune in front of them, and the three of them decided to take a break from the current position where the sand dunes were leeward.

Ma Chengfeng took a sip of water, unfolded the map, and asked, "Sister Chu, where do you see where we are on the map now?" ”

Chu Tianyue picked up the red pen and circled him a general range. In the vast desert, there is no reference, and it is really impossible to determine the specific direction. But judging by the speed at which everyone was traveling, it should have been less than 20 kilometers out of the town. But the twenty-kilometer journey had already delayed them all morning.

Rushing in the desert, whether you are a long-distance runner or a master of light skills like Ma Chengfeng, you can't show any skills, and the speed of walking depends on the camel. And these camels don't seem to have woken up yet, and although they are obedient, they are as slow as snails.

"Damn, it's only so far? It's over, it's getting dark, and at this rate, we'll all have to get to the ruins of the ancient city of Zamar at noon tomorrow. ”

Chu Tianyue said, this is your wishful thinking, the desert sand wind is violent, and at a glance, it is all yellow sand, and all the scenery is swallowed by it. Even if we reach the ancient city area, we can't make out with the naked eye.

"I thought I was ready for a long time, but it seems that I am still a little blind, this desert is far more terrifying than I imagined." Ma Chengfeng sighed.

"Cheng Feng, believe in yourself! We have always been God's beloved people, and we will succeed! It will definitely work! Xiao Man comforted him.

Behind him, the huge sand dunes were whirring in the wind, and the fine sand kept sliding down. The two patted their heads and hugged each other tightly, using their bodies to warm each other.

This night, everyone slept very deeply, the sandstorm outside was whirring, and the ears, nose, and mouth were all filled with a bitter smell of yellow sand. I don't know how long it took, Xiao Man rubbed her eyes and sat up, she covered her eyes with her hands, and looked out of the tent. Outside the tent was a dim yellow, and it was impossible to see whether it was moonlight or daylight in the sandstorm.

"Don't look, it's already eight o'clock in the morning, the sandstorm hasn't stopped, we have to get on the road, otherwise, the wind and sand will get bigger and bigger in a while." Chu Tianyue got up very early, and there was a kettle on the bonfire outside the tent, and inside was breakfast for three people, one boiled egg per person.

The three of them packed up, turned over and climbed onto the camel's back, covered their mouths and noses with black scarves, and continued to walk towards the boundless sea of sand. In the vast desert, there is no reference at all, whether it is a sand dune or the occasional poplar, it is possible to be swallowed up by a sandstorm at any time. Walking in such an environment, even geographers have no help from outside equipment, it is difficult to determine the direction.

Ma Chengfeng looked up, and the sky was also full of yellow sand, the yellow sand covered the sun, and a trace of sunlight could not seep down.

"Sister Tianyue, are we going in the right direction now?"

Chu Tianyue took out the compass and looked at it, saying that the direction must be correct. But the problem is that your map is not as reliable.

The map that Ma Chengfeng bought from the guide was purely hand-drawn, although the guide here is very experienced, he is not a professional cartographer after all, and it is estimated that there will be some deviations on the map. I just hope that the deviation is not too big, otherwise, everyone is likely to be in Taklamakan for a few days and nights and will not be able to get out.
