As soon as Cao Wei said this, it was like a huge rock being pushed from a height into a pool of calm lake water, and it evoked thousands of echoes at once.
“Yes, in the situation just now, everyone knows that momentum is the most important. Even if you Hengcheng didn’t do anything, you were the first to surrender?”
“It’s really a group of things that have less success than failure.”
“What the hell?”
The other security companies also opened their mouths one after another, aiming all their spears at Hengcheng, as if it was because Zhang Xuan had just spoken that they would give up that batch of supplies.
Regarding the accusations of these security companies, Zhang Xuan was completely attentive and walked on his own. The rest of the hellwalkers, and Zu Xian, seemed to have heard nothing. Their attitude, not only did not make the rest of the company talk less. Two sentences, on the contrary, there is a feeling of punching in the air, which makes their hearts more depressed, and the scolding is even harder.
“We are looking for you to do security work, not for you to admit, what kind of rubbish?” Director Chen also said.
“Okay!” An Dongyang, who had been speaking for a long time, finally couldn’t listen, and said: “Today’s situation, we can all understand that if this batch of materials is not given up, it will only cause us more casualties. In the past two days, I’ll trouble everyone to get tired, and try to resolve the matter before our supplies are exhausted.”
“Mr. An, don’t worry. Since we are out, we are not enjoying it. If we are tired, there will be nothing, otherwise, it will be like this Hengcheng. Wouldn’t your money be spent in vain!” Cao Wei said.
“Then you will be troubled.” An Dongyang said something on the scene, then took out the drawing and continued to study with Professor Gu.
Another day passed. At night, everyone set up camps. Because of the lack of half of the supplies, tonight Hengcheng’s dinner, in a pot of porridge, can only see a few grains of rice floating on the surface of the pot, which is completely equivalent to cooking. A pot of white water.
On the other hand, compared with the other security companies, the food they eat is no different from yesterday. They are still big fish and meat. They don’t care about the loss of supplies. However, they have reduced a lot, and there is no way they can show off to Zhang Xuan. When they are full, they return to the tent to rest.
One night passed quietly.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone walked out of the tent and moved on.
In two days, this team had gone deep into the desert. The surrounding area was desolate, and there were no road signs on the front, back, left, or right.
An Dongyang stared at the drawing in his hand, distinguishing the direction.
“President An, I just checked. The supplies can last the last three days. If we want to go out now, it will take two days. I think everyone’s enthusiasm is no longer high. Would you like to go out and reorganize?” Director Chen walked to An Dongyang and whispered.
“No.” An Dongyang shook his head, “Let’s go out and come in again, and we will meet those horse bandits. They are specializing in this kind of business. Don’t worry, they will come sooner or later. Why do you think they are robbing? Go that batch of supplies?”
“President An, what do you mean?”
“At that time, there will be 10,000 yuan in a pot of water, I’m afraid someone will be rushing to buy it!” An Dongyang glanced into the distance, “We are not far from the destination, please work hard.”
As soon as An Dongyang’s voice fell, a loud roar suddenly sounded in front of him.
“It’s a sandstorm, hide yourself!”
“Sandstorm!” An Dongyang’s complexion changed, and when he looked away, he saw that the overwhelming yellow sand was sweeping towards where they were at a speed visible to the naked eye.
People in the desert need to overcome many difficulties, lack of materials, and huge consumption of physical strength, but these are all factors that can be controlled by man. Among them, the most feared are some uncontrollable, such as sandstorms!
You know, the sand dunes in the desert are always moving. Under the action of strong winds, the sand grains on the windward side of the dunes are blown onto the dunes and fall to the leeward side of the dunes. This continuous sandstorm will make the dunes non-stop. The ground moves to the leeward side, and there is no force to stop it.
If you encounter a strong sandstorm on the edge of the desert, let alone people, large sections of roads and railways will disappear without a trace, and even cars and houses will be buried.
“Quick! Find your own cover!” An Dongyang roared, and leaned toward the back of the sand dune in front of him. The sand dune could withstand some wind power, otherwise, standing in the center of the sandstorm might cause people to be blown up.
Although the people present have not seen the power of sandstorms, they have always heard of it. Before entering the desert this time, they have done some homework. They know the terrible sandstorms. After seeing the sky full of yellow sand, there is nothing there. One person hesitated, and they all found a place to hide. After a few seconds, yellow sand swept across the sky.
Zhang Xuan hid behind a sand dune. Although this kind of dust storm could not affect him, he did not dare to be too shocked. In this dust storm, Zhang Xuan watched many tents being blown into the sky, and even one person was swept by the strong wind. After turning over several somersaults, I couldn’t even make the screams, so I was taken away by the yellow sand, and disappeared without a trace. Those water and food, the bear-guarding people, have no time to take care of it, almost in a few seconds. Inside, most of it was swept away by yellow sand.
Sandstorms come and go fast. People in the sandstorms seem to have passed for a long time, but the actual time is only tens of seconds.
After dozens of seconds, the sandstorm dissipated, and you can see that everyone was embarrassed.
Like an ostrich, An Dongyang pulled his head out of the sand and patted the yellow sand off his body, “Quick! Get together, count the number of people, Mr. Cao, you count the supplies!”
When An Dongyang spoke, his mouth was sprayed with grit.
People from major companies counted the number immediately.
“We are missing two brothers!”
“Our five brothers are missing!”
The leaders of the two security companies looked ugly.
Yuanfeng, Youxiong, and Yuxing, these three security companies, did not have any missing persons.
“Two-thirds of the materials were blown away, only one-third left, and it can’t last a day!” Cao Wei of Youxiong Security said, his voice looked very disappointed, but if you look closely, you can see a smile in his eyes. .
The expedition in this desert is too exhausting. They are eager for the supplies to be consumed quickly. Hello everyone, leave here and happily receive a large commission.
Listening to the report from the security company, An Dongyang’s face was particularly ugly. Seven people were missing and two-thirds of the supplies were missing. This would be a great blow to morale.
“President An, we may not be able to continue this mission. Two brothers have disappeared. We have to find people back.”
“President An, we have no law to continue to follow, those five brothers, we can’t just leave it alone.”
