Chapter 72: There is no other place in the world

Seeing the rope shaking violently, Lao Wang and Zi Yang jumped up immediately. Lao Wang used all his strength to turn the winch with his shirt and pulled Su Rui up soon. Su Rui lay on the edge of the hole, looked at the panicked two people and gasped, saying, "There is a passage below...it's big enough to accommodate all of us and equipment."

Lao Wang and Zi Yang looked at each other, and Lao Wang asked suspiciously, "Old Li, did you not notice it after you went down for a long time?"

Zi Yang scratched her head and said, "It's so dark inside, I'm just looking at Alexander and the camel, and I didn't pay attention to the surroundings..."

Su Rui said: "We may be able to rest here."

Zi Yang looked at Su Rui's handsome face, covered with mud, sweat and tears, with a hint of surprise and expectation, facing the rising sun, full of dawn.

After struggling for the middle of the night, it was already early in the morning. The sky suddenly became red in the distance and the sun was about to rise.

Looking at Su Rui's expectant eyes, Zi Yang understood what she meant, but the boss was reluctant. He just wanted to leave the desert quickly, and there was no plan to camp here, and the conditions did not allow it. He understood that Su Rui and Alexander had a close relationship, but rationally speaking, it was not the time to take into account the love between children.

Timur suddenly said something.

Zi Yang asked, "What are you talking about?"

Timur pointed to the dawn sunshine in the distance. Everyone seemed to have nothing unusual, but when they looked carefully, their faces changed color. Under the blood-colored sun, a layer of black clouds was slowly increasing, slowly pressing against the ground...

It's a sandstorm again!

Everyone has experienced a sandstorm and knows how powerful it is, and the scale this time looks even larger than last time.

Everyone was panicked for a moment. Last time, there was a earthen wall to help him, but now it is an endless and flat Gobi Desert. Where can I hide from?

It seems that I have to get into the hole... But this hole is an unknown to everyone. If the space inside the hole is limited and the sandstorm is particularly fierce - is there anything worse than burying it alive?

As if seeing Zi Yang's doubts, Su Rui continued, "The space below is very large, enough to accommodate all of us, and the geological structure is very solid."

Zi Yang felt desperate and looked at Timur in despair and asked, "How long will it take for the sandstorm to come to us?"

Timur made two fingers.

Lao Wang: "Two days?"

Timur rolled his eyes.

Zi Yang gritted his teeth and said, "In two hours, we will definitely not be able to escape the dust storm. Move all the equipment and items down. Let's hide in the cave first."

Everyone had seen the power of the sandstorm and knew that although it seemed to be far away, it was coming in a flash. They didn't dare to hesitate anymore and began to pack up their things in a hurry.

The wind could be felt vaguely on my face.

Su Rui got two more fixed piles and made a zipline. Lao Wang helped her hang the equipment and packages on the ropes and hung them one by one. Except for the camels that could not be hung down, all the things that could be moved were moved, and I worked hard for more than an hour.

Timur gathered the camels together and touched their heads one by one, as if saying goodbye. Then he turned his head and walked to the entrance of the cave. He didn't look at Zi Yang at all, nor did he hang a mountain climbing rope like others. He rolled it on the rope with his big sleeves and then slammed it down.

Zi Yang stayed at the end and looked at the Gobi Desert with nostalgia. Compared with the unknown caves below, this ruthless desert seemed to be more "friendly".

The only few camels probably felt abnormal and squatted together and did not move. Zi Yang also wanted to go over and say parting, but the windbreaker on his body had already bulged slightly in the breeze - the black clouds in the sky were clearly visible, covering the sky and the sun was pressing over, and even the sun at dawn seemed to be covered, and the speed was so fast!

Zi Yang took a last look at Chaoyang, fixed the zipline on his body, and slowly slid down.

Below, Su Rui had already lit a large LED lamp, making the cave clear. Sure enough, there was a half-person high passage in a corner of the cave wall. Looking deep inside, I didn’t know where it was.

Su Rui and Lao Wang were checking Alexander's injuries. Su Rui opened the scissors on the Swiss army knife and cut Alexander's coat. Unlocked the clothes on his upper body and found that his chest and abdomen were blue. He gently touched it with his hands, frowned and said, "There may be a few ribs broken."

Su Rui carefully helped Alexander up from the camel's body. Alexander's head hung softly on her arm. Lao Wang's judgment was very accurate, his spine was broken and he had lost the ability to move.

Lao Wang looked around and saw the corners of things they had unloaded from above. He walked over and flipped through them, found a few slats for camel-backed goods, made into splints, and "simplified" Alexander's limbs and fixed them.

Alexander remained silent throughout the whole process. He could no longer feel the pain, but just looked at everyone with his eyes blinking.

Although we only met for a few days, Zi Yang still felt a sense of indescribable and very uncomfortable when he saw this scene.

Old Wang next door leaned into Zi Yang's ear and said, "Did you see the blood in his chest and abdomen? The broken ribs may have pierced the internal organs. I guess I won't live for a few days."

Su Rui heard the whispers behind her back, turned her head and looked at Lao Wang expectantly: "You understand medical skills, is there any way to rescue me?"

Perhaps it was Lao Wang's skillful movements of making splints that confused Su Rui, which made her mistakenly think that the always unfair Old Wang in front of her was actually a cynical hidden miracle doctor or something.

Life is at stake, and Lao Wang next door was embarrassed to show off again. He touched his head and said apologetically: "I just learned some medical knowledge when I was in class at the medical school. There is no problem with putting on splints, but it is not a problem to treat diseases and save people... Besides, there is no equipment in this place..." He spread his hands and expressed his forgiveness for my incompetence.

Su Rui said, "The doctor prepared some emergency medicines before departure, and I don't know if they will be useful."

As he said that, he took out a bunch of medicine boxes from a bag. Lao Wang regretted that he was a little too concerned about his face just now, and just said that he could not do anything, so he no longer had to bear the pressure of curing diseases and saving lives.

Lao Wang leaned over and squatted down reluctantly to look at the pile of medicines. His eyes lit up, "Hey, there are a lot of dry goods, morphine, heart augmentation, adrenaline..."

Zi Yang couldn't bear to see Alexander's appearance, so he turned to observe the situation around the cave. From more than ten people at the time of departure, to now only these four or five people are left - Alexander has only half his life left.

Xiao Hei looked east and west as always, and seemed to be full of curiosity about everything.

Since he got down, Timur stopped talking, sat on the ground with his knees in his arms, leaned his long neck, and looked at the sky as big as a basin at the entrance of the hole. Perhaps he was worried about his camel.

While Lao Wang was discussing medicine with Su Rui, Zi Yang took Xiao Hei and walked in the passage for more than ten meters. The LED lights on the clothes could barely illuminate the space around about a few meters.

It can be seen that the passage gradually widens when it goes inside, and after about ten meters, you can straighten your waist. There is more than one person in it and more than two meters wide. The feet are covered with gravel. The walls of the cave are very smooth and the air is dry. The passage becomes wider and wider as it goes inside. Some places even start to fork. Zi Yang is worried that he will get lost, so he turned back.

When I returned to the place I came down just now, I saw that Lao Wang had already dismantled a tent and made a simple stretcher with canvas and brackets. I have to praise this guy for being brainless, but he is still very capable of doing things.

I don’t know what medicine they took to Alexander. Alexander, who was dying just now, was sleeping with his eyes closed, his face no longer had yellowishness like before, and had a little bloody color.

Seeing Su Rui and Timur packing up their equipment, Zi Yang wondered, "What? Are you planning to live here?"
