Chapter 3277 Desert Storm

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Everyone is leaning on the camel, with their backs to the sandstorm or lying on the ground. The accumulation speed of sand is generally slow, so there is no need to worry about being buried in the sand." Scimitar said loudly.

    Several other Tuareg mercenaries were directing the camels to lie down in an arc, and then they lay on the leeward side of the camels.  Camels are very smart animals. They will tremble constantly as the sand falls. They are helpless in storms. It is absolutely safe to lie down next to them.

    ¡°The sandstorm hasn¡¯t started yet, why should we stop?¡± Sergey complained.

    "It's already started, but it's just not here yet. We must not ride on camels and drive them wildly in the desert. Because no matter how fast a camel runs, it can't run faster than a sandstorm, and in this environment, it is easy to lose its way.  , the danger is very high. Everyone covers their heads with headscarves."

    A few minutes later, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared in the distant sky. As the yellow mushroom cloud rolled closer, the clear sky suddenly turned gray and gloomy, and the camel lay on the ground and moved uneasily.  The sandstorm is as shocking as the flood scene in the movie.  At this time, the wind force was increasing.  Everyone had sand in their eyes and mouths, and visibility was very low.

    Lin Rui and several 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 turbans and goggles, the sand hitting the uncovered parts of their faces still hurt.  Not only do people need protection, but so do camels.  The powerful sand blowing during a sandstorm can blind a camel's eyes.  Camels have double eyelashes that can withstand wind and sand, but before strong sandstorms, camels had no way to resist.

    So they had to use special protective gear to cover the camel¡¯s eyes. If the camel was blind, they would have no hope.  The sky is dark and the dust is raging, as if it wants to swallow the whole world.  Everything around him seemed to have turned dark red, and the scene was extremely terrifying.  The wind roared like thunder, carrying the shrill wails of thousands of souls mourning at night, and the wind was extremely violent.

    A violent sandstorm hit us, and for a while everything was covered in overwhelming sand and dust. The sky and the earth were dark and yellow, making it difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south. The wind continued and the wild sand was raging, tearing everyone's skin like a razor.  The skin tore and overthrew everything that blocked the wind.  In just ten seconds, the large out-of-control whirlwind finally collapsed and exploded. It enveloped everything in it regardless of whether it was friend or foe, and began to devour lives.

    For a time, in addition to the roar of the wind that was about to tear out the eardrums, there was the sound of strong winds everywhere. The originally heavy items were rolling in the air like paper bundles, scattered and flying everywhere.

    There was chaos everywhere, and the only ones who could barely protect themselves were the team members who had fixed themselves to the camels in advance.  In order to avoid being blown away, Lin Rui and others used ropes to hang the people and camels together in advance.  They clung to their camels in the strong wind, struggling to survive.  After the storm passed, the ground was in a mess, and their supplies and belongings were blown away so much that even their shadows disappeared.

    Lin Rui led people along the rope to find other people. Some of them were even half-buried in the yellow sand, and a few camels could no longer stand up.  The sand must be cleared around them to get them back on their feet.  They were buried almost to their backs by the wind and sand.  Lin Rui asked the brothers to get up and quickly lead the camel out. "The camel cannot fall. We still have a long way to go. Has the sausage found our supplies?"

    Were those supplies originally loaded on camels? Before the sandstorm came, Lin Rui and the others took down the supplies and reinforced them again.  But now, things have blown to pieces.  These supplies include ammunition, food, but more importantly, water.  The most important supply in the desert is water.  This time they were well prepared, carrying enough water, food and water in more than a dozen sealed boxes.  But now it has been blown away and only three or four large boxes are left.

    "Oops, we have to at least find these supplies. Without water and food, we won't last long." Sergey shook off the sand from his body and head while whispering.

    "Who knows where it was blown to?" Sausage shook his head.

    "Didn't I ask you to use ground anchors to anchor all important items?" Lin Rui said angrily.

    "Maybe the fixed rope was blown off, or maybe it was buried under the sand." Sausage shook his head and said, "Maybe we can look for it nearby."

    "It's too late to find, we have to leave quickly. The sandstorm has stopped, and armed personnel from the Polisario Front may come to us at any time. We have to take advantage of this opportunity to leave." 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 of water are missing. Maybe we can try to overcome it and go to the nearest oasis to replenish it.?.  Crazy Horse frowned.

    "With the current amount of water, we can't hold on to the nearest oasis." Lin Rui shook his head.  "What's more, the nearest oases are under the control of militants from the Polisario Front."

    "Then let's search again." Sausage whispered, "Those boxes are very strong and will not be damaged. And they are all connected together with safety ropes. As long as we find one, we can find the others along the ropes.  "

    "But, the sandstorm just now was so severe. These boxes may have been buried. We can't search aimlessly." Scarface frowned.

    "Communicator!" Sausage suddenly said, "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.  Chests can also be found.¡±

    "This is a way. I'm afraid it will be buried too deep in the sand. There is no GPS signal." Lin Rui nodded, "But we can give it a try. If we can find the lost water tank within half an hour, it will be better than ours."  It¡¯s safer to find other oases to replenish your drinking water.¡±

    "Let me check." Sausage took out the tactical tablet, checked and said with surprise, "There is a signal! It's hard to believe that this damn sandstorm blew these things a kilometer away."

    "Then don't hesitate, everyone get on the camels and set off. We must retrieve those boxes." Lin Rui nodded.

    "There are two camels that have been buried in the sand for too long. They seem to be dying and can no longer stand up." Scimitar replied.

    "Then give them up. We don't have time to waste any more. The enemy will not give us time, and they will not wait for us." Lin Rui shook his head.
