Chapter 11 Sand and Dust Storm-North School Tomb Raider’s Notes

Old Zhang camel has been tied to a wooden stick, the stick is used to explore the sand, before going to poke with the stick, you can know that place can not be stepped on.

He dismounted the camel to remove his stick and greeted the crowd to walk carefully.

Desert marching ants are swarmers, and like the kind of red fire ants that cause nests of ants that form a large pack on the ground, marching ants are not as aggressive as red fire ants, but are more dangerous and rare than red fire ants because marching ants are only found in the desert.

“Stop!” Old Zhang suddenly waved his hand.

He pointed ahead with his stick for us to see.

Only to see, in front of less than three meters from the camel caravan on the sand bulging a big bag, occasionally there are a few sporadic black ants in the bulging sand around the bag drilling in and out.

Old Zhang pointed with his stick and said, “Look, that’s the old nest of the marching ants, there aren’t many of them now, but there’s a lot of space underneath, if a person accidentally steps on it, how many thousands of ants will bite him to death in minutes.”

Bean Sprout Boy swallowed his spit and said, “Damn, this ant nest is even more powerful than a hornet’s nest, we have to be careful.”

Qin Xingping concurred, “Everyone be careful, get off the camel and lead it, don’t step on it with one foot.”

We led the camel carefully around the old nest of marching ants. Putting his head up and looking ahead he said, “Why do I feel the wind getting stronger?”

Old Zhang reached out and felt the strength of the wind, and suddenly his face changed: “The wind level is already close to level seven, the conditions for the formation of a sandstorm have to be three, strong winds, sand, and no wind-blocking zones, and once the wind level rises to level nine it will be dangerous.”

The group picked up speed a few more times.

Between keeping an eye out for ants’ nests that might appear at any moment and having to pick up the pace, we ran out of water yesterday, all of us were walking with dry mouths and panting, and despite the veil, I kept feeling like I was getting sand in my throat, which was very uncomfortable.

“It won’t work! Not enough time! Can’t walk out!” Old Zhang suddenly shouted.

The sky is unpredictable, we rushed slowly or did not catch up. At the moment the wind mixed with the sky yellow sand blowing people can not walk.

“Everyone stay where they are and don’t move! A sandstorm is coming!”

He saw him quickly pull out a small whistle and blow it, and the camels all crept to their knees at the sound of the whistle.

Old Zhang shouted urgently: “Lower your head! Grab the camel! Hold on!”

“Budgie! Cloud Peak! Where are you!” I heard the shouts from the head of the handle but couldn’t see the others because I couldn’t open my eyes anymore and if I didn’t grab the camel I felt like I was going to be blown away!

“No way! The wind is too strong! I’m losing my grip!” I suddenly heard Zhao Xuanxuan’s cries for help from behind me.

With a little sound to orient me, I crawled over and grabbed her arm.

“Hang on! I got you!”

I simply can not see Zhao Xuanxuan, can only pull her to crawl on the ground and keep squirming forward, as long as we stop, so big wind and sand in a few minutes to the people completely covered!

After what felt like an eternity, the wind became lighter and lighter.

I shook my body vigorously, struggling to get up from the ground. Raising my eyes and looking around, there was yellow sand everywhere around me, the head of the handle was gone, the old Zhang Douzhaoyi and they couldn’t be seen, and to make me feel even more scared, I didn’t see my camel!

His throat was dry and smoky, and he forced himself to cry out a few times.

“Yunfeng …..” Less than five meters behind me, I heard the echo of Miss Zhao.

The bottom half of her legs were buried in the sand and I ran over and strained to yank him out.
