Chapter 188 Devil City
Aning was skeptical that Zaxi could accurately pinpoint the location of the Devil City, which was dozens of miles away, despite being so far away.
Moreover, she didn't think the missing people could have braved such a violent sandstorm to travel dozens of miles away.
However, there are no other options at the moment, and the shelter is barely big enough to accommodate all these vehicles.
The winds and sandstorms in the Gobi Desert are unpredictable, and they need to find a place to set up camp before the winds pick up again.
Because the team managed to dodge in time, the damage to the vehicles was not significant. Aside from the damage caused by the rocks hitting the body and the broken headlights, which did not affect normal driving, only one vehicle could not be started because sand had entered its engine.
Since they hadn't found a campsite yet, they had no choice but to abandon the project. Fortunately, their convoy had plenty of vehicles, though not much else.
After emptying the abandoned vehicles of supplies, the convoy continued on its way.
They sped off in the direction Zaxi had indicated, and when Zaxi estimated they were still a dozen miles from the Devil City, they actually found the vehicle that had gone missing earlier.
This gave everyone some confidence in the whereabouts of the missing persons; perhaps they really were just ahead.
Until a huge, castle-like scene appeared before them, Zaxi reminded them on the car radio that the Devil City was ahead.
This is a rock formation based on a giant stone mountain. The Gobi Desert is constantly swept by sandstorms, and the wind blowing through the cracks between the rocks creates a mournful and eerie echo, hence the name "Devil City".
The area surrounding the Devil City, with its vast rock formations, was indeed a good place to camp. The convoy parked its vehicles in an orderly fashion, creating a campsite area.
The supplies were unloaded, and the work began in an orderly fashion.
These professionals, who have been working in the field for many years, are very adept at this. They can set up tents quickly and steadily, and they are also very organized, making the whole camp look very neat and tidy.
On the other side, in the designated living area, people had already started cooking over fires. Fatty Wang, who had monopolized a fire, was preparing to cook a special meal for them.
Su Li and Wu Xie routinely occupy the best spot for feeding, while Zhang Qiling sits to the side, holding his knife and lost in thought.
Along the way, everyone had just eaten some convenient dry food in the car to fill their stomachs. Now they were busy setting up camp while taking turns eating to replenish their energy.
"Hey, what are you looking at, Mr. Flower?" After eating and drinking his fill, Hei Xiazi casually tossed a bottle of water into Xie Yuchen's arms. He then leaned over and followed Xie Yuchen's gaze.
Even though it was only just beginning to get dark and the natural light around was still quite sufficient, the sky above this Devil City seemed to be shrouded in a faint black mist, completely out of place with the surrounding sky and filled with an ominous aura.
The entire area felt as if it were shrouded in a black veil.
"There's someone here!!!"
One of the men who was still setting up the outer camp shouted, and the others who heard the noise quickly gathered around.
Not long after, a person wearing the same team uniform as them was dug out of the sand.
"It's A-K! Quick, where's the team medic?!"
The chubby team doctor, carrying a medical kit, was being dragged along by a fellow worker as they ran wildly in that direction, his legs trembling.
Hei Xiazi and Xie Yuchen crossed their arms and watched the chaotic scene not far away.
"has a problem."
"This is a serious problem."
Such a strong sandstorm carries not only the fine sand of the desert, but also various dangerous rocks of different sizes.
Not to mention that the area they were hiding in was extremely far from here, the missing vehicle they found was still more than ten miles away.
To walk here alone, braving deadly sandstorms and completely against the wind, and then conveniently faint in this perfect campsite, is quite a precise timing.
Sure enough, after the team doctor administered an injection, the guy called A-K slowly woke up and told A-Ning and the other three whereabouts.
Inside the Devil City.
The NPC to guide you and the bait to lure you in are ready. Players, please set off as soon as possible...
"You can't go in!!!"
As soon as Aning expressed her intention to lead the team in to find the person, Zaxi, who had been acting as the guide, spoke up to stop her.
To increase the credibility of his words, Zaxi also told Aning about the geological survey team that disappeared many years ago and whose dried remains were found a few years later, to prove the danger of the Devil City.
Aning neither believed nor disbelieved what Zaxi had told her, but she had great confidence in the high-tech equipment she had brought. If her only concern was getting lost, she wasn't too worried.
She selected two relatively reliable guys and asked the team doctor to accompany her so that she could rescue the wounded at any time. Finally, she set her sights on Zhang Qiling.
The two team leaders, Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling, were personally appointed by Qiu Dekao. Compared to Hei Xiazi, who didn't have a good reputation in the underworld, Zhang Qiling was clearly the easier one to talk to.
Just as famous as the Blind Man from the South and the Mute Man from the North are the Blind Man from the South who always brings up the buffs in the final payment box and the Mute Man from the North who provides humanitarian aid.
Although Aning was skeptical of Zaxi's words, she still wanted to give herself an extra layer of insurance.
Zaxi wanted to persuade him further, saying that even if they were to go in, it would be best to wait until dawn tomorrow, as it was getting dark soon and going in now would be very dangerous.
Judging from Ah K's physical condition, Ah Ning felt that the other three were probably not in good condition either. Since it was better to act sooner rather than later, she thought it would be better to set off to search immediately.
After repeated attempts to persuade them failed, Zaxi became angry, appearing as if he didn't care whether they lived or died.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuoma said something to him in Tibetan, and he reluctantly agreed to take them in.
"Snapped……"
"Bang... bang..."
A beam of light shone on Aning's face, followed by two car horns. Hei Xiazi poked his head out from the driver's seat.
Walking is out of the question; it would take several hours, a complete waste of time. (Personal interpretation: Driving is not suitable in the Devil City.)
"Now that you've made up your mind, let's set off."
A Ning was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Hei Xiazi would actually be willing to accompany them.
I breathed a sigh of relief and walked around the front of the car to open the passenger door.
Su Li, who was playing Tetris in the passenger seat, looked up blankly at A Ning, whose face was stiff.
"What are you doing?"
Aning:......
Look behind you.
He met the eyes of the three people behind him.
Apart from Fatty Wang staying at the camp (waiting for Panzi), the five people in the car were huddled together, and she felt like she was about to get a headache again.
Knowing she was no match for these people, she didn't waste any words and turned to get into another car.
The two cars drove one after the other toward the entrance of the Devil City.
