There was a skeleton buried in the sand over there. He He definitely did not dare to go to the bathroom there. In order to take care of her feelings, the men's and women's positions had been swapped.
Of course, even the thickest men would try to avoid the position of the skeleton when they went to the bathroom. If they did not know, it would be fine. But knowing that there was a skeleton buried under the sand and urinating on the remains of an ancestor, it would not be acceptable.
In order to find the remains on their return journey, Zhang Zian and the scholar not only recorded the GPS coordinates but also piled up the empty cans next to the body with sand as a mark.
Peter Lee's team was equipped with metal detectors. Using the can marks and the GPS coordinates, it was not difficult to find the skeleton again.
During dinner, this small episode gave everyone more topics to talk about. Everyone made wild guesses about the identity of the person and the purpose of entering the desert. Although most of it sounded like nonsense, it still made everyone's spirits rise. It was as if the hardships of the day had passed.
Nabari did not participate in their conversation. He had been sitting silently smoking a hookah. Salem wanted to participate, but he could not keep up with the conversation. He did not even know the difference between Germany during World War II and today's Germany.
Peter Lee and his team were indeed rich. They had actually set up a satellite communication terminal and set up a hotspot in the camp. They provided half an hour of free time for everyone to send and receive emails and chat online. Although it was limited by the poor bandwidth and too many people, the internet speed was very slow. Pictures could not be displayed, but for people with severe internet addiction, this undoubtedly raised morale. Even if they could only browse text on the web, it was good enough.
Dinner was all fast food. After eating, they threw the packaging away and extinguished the camping stove. There was nothing else to clean up.
When everyone was almost done talking, they returned to their tents to wash up and rest. According to Peter Lee's requirements, they had to wake up before sunrise tomorrow and set off at sunrise. Therefore, those who did not have the night watch duty went to bed early and got up early.
Drinking water was very precious. It was limited to cooking, drinking, and brushing teeth. If they wanted to wash their faces, they could only use wet wipes. The conditions were very difficult, but they could only endure it.
Zhang Zian was in car number four. According to the order, he had a night watch duty in the middle of the night. He had slept well last night, and he had caught up on his sleep this morning, so he wasn't sleepy.
Zhang Zian returned to his four-person tent. Famous had already returned earlier, chewing on the tooth grinder used for mouth cleaning. Fina had already fallen asleep on the mat, but when she heard the sound of him entering the tent, she opened her eyes.
In the silence of the night, those who had yet to sleep gathered together and whispered to each other. Through the tents, they could see the blurry shadows of their teammates.
After a while, the wind started to pick up outside, and the temperature dropped even lower.
Everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep. The camp quietened down.
Zhang Zian laid on the moisture-proof mat, closed his eyes, and rested. His mind was full of thoughts. One moment he thought of the white skeleton, the next moment he thought of Cleopatra, the next moment he thought of the Holy Cat statue in the trunk of Car 4, the next moment he thought of Binhai City and the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, and the next moment he thought of other things.
Just when his consciousness was a little hazy, the sound of shoes stepping on the sand came from outside the tent.
He opened his eyes. Famous and Fina had heard it earlier.
"Xiao Zhang, it's your turn to keep watch," Wei Kang said softly as he flicked the tent with his finger.
"Okay, I got it," Zhang Zian opened the zipper, poked his head out, and responded softly.
Wei Kang stood outside and said, "It's cold at night. Wear more clothes. Don't catch a cold. I'm going back to sleep. In two hours, call the Scholar from Car 5 to replace you. "
"Okay, you should go to sleep."
After Wei Kang left, Zhang Zian went to keep watch. Famous and Fina were also not sleepy. They turned over and stood up, planning to go out for a walk.
As for Richard, the b * tch bird was already snoring away. It was blind at night anyway, so Zhang Zian decided to let it continue sleeping.
The night watchmen sat on the roof of the off-road vehicle at the edge of the camp. This way, they could have a better view. If there were any people or animals approaching, they would be able to find them as soon as possible.
When he passed through the camp, he felt that basically everyone was asleep. Different kinds of snoring came from different tents, and of course, there were also tents that were silent.
He stepped on the hood and jumped onto the roof of the off-road vehicle. There were night vision binoculars reserved for the night watchmen.
Zhang Zian stood on the roof of the car and looked around with the binoculars. There was nothing unusual in his green field of vision. Everything was quiet. There was only the cold wind blowing fine sand on his face.
From this position, he could also see the movements of the entire camp. No matter who left the tent, he would be able to find them immediately.
He used his phone to point at the ground and the roof of the car and released all the elfins except Sihwa. He wanted them to feel the desert night.
"Meow meow meow! Your Majesty, I missed you so much! "As soon as Snowy Lionet appeared on the roof of the car, it wanted to pounce on Fina.
"Shh! Be quiet! Don't let others hear you! "Zhang Zian warned.
In fact, even if they heard it, it didn't matter. They couldn't distinguish Fina and Snowy Lionet's cries. But he didn't want to disturb other people's sleep.
"Pfft … Pfft! Why is my mouth full of sand? Pfft! "Snowy Lionet was about to spit at him out of habit, but when it opened its mouth, sand poured into its mouth.
Zhang Zian handed the laptop under his arm to Pi. It happily took it and looked around, trying to find a place to type.
"Achoo!" Pi sneezed a little and hugged the laptop tightly to its chest to block the wind.
Zhang Zian opened the door of the SUV and let it type in the car. He also pulled out Snowy Lionet, who also wanted to pull Fina into the car.
"Stinky man! Just you wait! I will castrate you one day! "Snowy Lionet fiercely bared its teeth and claws." Pfft … Pfft! "
"Meow! What a big place!" Xinghai looked around at the endless sea of sand in surprise. It excitedly jumped out, rushed up the sand dunes, and then sped up to run down. It was having a lot of fun.
Old Time Tea adjusted its bamboo hat and looked around. It said, "Zian, you should also go to the car and sleep for a while. I will keep watch for you. If someone comes or if there is anything unusual, I will wake you up."
Zhang Zian was very grateful to Old Time Tea, but he really wasn't sleepy. He told it what had happened after the elfins returned to the phone, including the danger of Car 10, the bones that were dug out from the sand, and the difficulties that the team was currently facing. He told it to pass the time, and he also wanted to sort out his thoughts.
Vladimir didn't care and said, "Director Zhang, don't emphasize the difficulties one-sidedly. You should use the fearless revolutionary spirit to guide your thoughts and actions. As long as your thoughts don't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!"
"I hope so." Zhang Zian smiled bitterly.
