"Everyone is leaning on a camel, facing the sandstorm or lying on the ground. The accumulation of sand is generally slow, so you don't have to worry about being buried by the sand." Scimitar said loudly.
Several other Tuareg mercenaries were directing the camel to lie down into an arc, and then they lay on the leeward side of the camel. The camel is a very clever animal. It will constantly shake with the falling of the sand. The storm can do nothing about it. It is absolutely safe to lie beside them.
"The sandstorm hasn't started yet, why should we stop?" Sergey complained.
"It's already started, but it's not here yet. We must not ride a camel and drive the camel to run wild in the desert. Because no matter how fast a camel runs, it can't be as fast as a sandstorm, and in this environment, it is easy to get lost , The danger is great. Everyone covers their heads with turbans."
A few minutes later, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance. As the yellow mushroom cloud rolled and approached, the clear sky of Wanli suddenly became gloomy and gloomy, and the camel lay on the ground and moved restlessly. The sandstorm is just like the scene of a flood in the movie. At this time, the wind is constantly strengthening. Everyone has sand in their eyes and mouths, and visibility is very low.
Lin Rui and a few Tuareg mercenaries took some supplies from the camels and reinforced them to prevent them from being blown away by the wind. Although they were wearing headscarves and goggles, they still felt pain when the sand hit the uncovered areas on their faces. Not only people need protection, but also camels. The powerful wind and sand blowing up during a sandstorm can blind the camel's eyes. Camels have double eyelashes, which can resist wind and sand, but before the intense sandstorm, the camel can't resist.
So they must also use special protective gear to block the eyes of the camel. If the camel is blind, they will be hopeless. The sky is dim and the sand is raging, as if to swallow the whole world. The surroundings seemed to have turned dark red, and the scene was terrifying. The sound of the wind was thunderous, carrying the screaming cry of Qianhun Yezhang, howling, the wind was extremely fierce.
A violent sandstorm rushed in. For a while, the surrounding area was covered in the dust of the sky. The sky and the earth were dark and yellow, making people unable to distinguish between east and west. The wind continued, and the raging sand was raging like a razor. Skin, tearing and overturning everything blocking the wind. In just ten seconds, the large cyclone that was out of control finally disintegrated and exploded. The enemy and ourselves covered everything in it, and began to devour lives.
For a while, apart from the scream of the violent wind that was about to tear the eardrum, there was the sound of the violent wind everywhere, and the originally heavy items rolled in the air like paper, scraping and dancing scattered everywhere.
There is chaos everywhere, and the only people who can barely protect themselves are the players who fixed themselves with the camels in advance. In order to avoid being blown away, Lin Rui and others used ropes to hook the personnel and camels together in advance. They clung to the camel in the squally wind, struggling to survive. After the storm passed, the ground was full of chaos, and their supplies and items were blown so that even the shadows disappeared.
Lin Rui led people along the ropes to find other people, some of them were already half of their bodies buried in the yellow sand, and a few camels could no longer stand up. The sand around them must be cleaned up before they can stand up again. They were almost buried back by the wind and sand. Lin Rui asked the brothers to get up and quickly led the camel out, "The camel can't fall, we still have a lot of way to go. Has the sausage found our supplies?"
Was the supplies originally loaded on the camels? Before the sandstorm came, Lin Rui and the others took down the supplies and reinforced them. But now, things have been blown to pieces. These supplies include ammunition, and food, but more importantly, water. The most important supply in the desert is water. This time they made preparations, brought plenty of water and food, and packed them in a dozen sealed boxes. But now it has been blown so that there are only three or four large boxes left.
"Well, we must at least find these supplies. Without water and food, we can't last long." Sergey generally shakes off the sand on his body and head, while whispering.
"The ghost knows where it was blown." Sausage shook his head.
"Didn't I ask you to use ground anchors to fix all important items?" Lin Rui said angrily.
"Maybe the fixing rope was blown off, maybe it was buried under the sand." Sausage shook his head. "Maybe we can find it nearby."
"It's too late to find, we have to leave quickly. The sandstorm has stopped, and the armed personnel of the Polisario Front may come to us at any time. We have to take this opportunity to go." Crazy Horse frowned.
Lin Rui shook his head, "Without food and water, we can't go far."
"We have enough food, mainly because a few boxes containing water are lost. Maybe we can manage to overcome it and go to the nearest oasis to replenish." Crazy Horse frowned.
"As far as the current water is, we can't hold onto the nearest oasis." Lin Rui shook his head. "What's more, the recent oases are under the control of the militants of the Polisario Front."
"Then look for it again." Sausage whispered, "The boxes are very strong and will not be damaged. And they are all connected with a safety rope. As long as we find one, we can find the others along the rope. "
"But, the sandstorm just now was so severe. These boxes may have been buried. We can't find it aimlessly." Scarface frowned.
"Communicator!" Sausage said suddenly, "We can follow the signal of the communicator to find those boxes. My communicator is in one of the boxes. The communicator has GPS positioning, and we can use satellite positioning to find my communicator. At the same time, boxes can be found."
"This is a way. I'm afraid of being buried too deep in the sand. There is no GPS signal." Lin Rui nodded, "but you can try. If we can retrieve the lost water tank within half an hour. It will be better than us. It is safer to find other oasis to supplement drinking water."
"I'll check." Sausage took out the tactical tablet and checked, and said with surprise, "There is a signal! It's hard to believe that this sandstorm blows these things to a kilometer away."
"Then don't hesitate, everyone rode on camels and set off. We must retrieve those boxes." Lin Rui nodded.
"Two camels were buried in the sand for too long. They seemed to be dead, and they couldn't stand up anymore," the Scimitar replied.
"Then give them up. We don't have time to consume them. The enemy will not give us time, and they will not wait for us." Lin Rui shook his head.
