Chapter 579 Journey to the Sahara
On the other side, the Sunshine trio watched the second day of Ye Zhen’s show.
In the hot desert environment, the sun shines brightly.
The scorching sun made the air in the distance become distorted.
Looking around, the yellow sand in the sky is twisting irregularly under the hot air.
Professor Zhou and the three of them came out of the dry hotel, all wearing headscarves.
The characteristics of local costumes are sometimes not for decoration.
But you must dress like this here.
At the beginning, Si Xiaoping was not very used to wearing a headscarf.
But within five minutes of being so stubborn, I felt like I was getting dizzy from the sun.
In a place like the Sahara, dehydration and heat stroke can kill you.
There are not many local hotels.
They finally made a reservation at the hotel.
Originally, this time is the off-season for tourism, and there are not many people.
But there were many cars parked around the hotel.
Those people were making a fuss, arguing about something.
"Professor Zhou, Mr. Wu." Si Xiaoping carried a set of equipment on his back, "We are going to set off today."
"After entering the Sahara Desert, the conditions will not be the same as now. ”
This is still the edge of the Sahara Desert.
There are still some people living there, and you can stay in some hotels.
Although the so-called hotel is very simple, it can still accommodate people.
But if you go deep into the Sahara Desert, you can only camp and live in the wild.
Old Wu was originally an archaeologist.
When I was young, I was often exposed to the sun outdoors.
Such a difficult environment is nothing to Lao Wu.
When Professor Zhou was young, he was an educated youth who went to the mountains and countryside, and he also suffered hardships.
On the contrary, Si Xiaoping, a post-90s generation, grew up in a reinforced concrete city.
Not used to such an environment.
But Si Xiaoping is young and strong, so he will get over it after a while.
Professor Zhou smiled and lifted the backpack on his back, "Of course I know this."
"But in order to see the legendary Eye of the Sahara, no matter how much hardship you have to endure, it is worth it."
Old Wu looked at his watch on the side, "Isn't the tour guide here yet? This is all What time is it?”
The three of them sat under the awning and waited for the tour guide to arrive.
A man covered in white robes walked over.
All over the body, the only exposed skin is the face and hands.
The face of the man in white robe is an extremely healthy wheat color.
“Are you Mr. Hassan?” Si Xiaoping took the initiative and walked over.
Hasan, the man in white robe, smiled, showing his white teeth, "Friends from China, I am Hassan."
Tour guide Hassan, you can't tell by appearance alone. Come out of his age.
At first glance, he looked like an old man in his forties or fifties.
But if you look carefully, you can see the middle-aged sparkle in Hassan's eyes.
The eyes are as sharp as an eagle.
Professor Zhou greeted Hassan, "Hello, tour guide."
Old Wu nodded to Hassan as a greeting.
"Okay, let's go." Si Xiaoping asked the tour guide Hassan.
Hassan shook his head, "Not now, the time is wrong."
"Now is the hottest time of the day."
The three of them looked up at the vicious sun in the sky.
It felt like the sun was going to dry them out in the next second.
“The best time is in the evening or early morning.”
"That's when the weather is the most pleasant of the day."
"At the same time, as tourists, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of sunrise and sunset." Hassan is undoubtedly very professional as a tour guide.
Si Xiaoping and the others have no choice. This matter cannot be rushed.
This is the role of a tour guide.
While waiting for the sun to go down, Hassan and Professor Zhou chatted.
As a tour guide, Hassan is very eloquent.
It can be said that he is the kind of person who is familiar with himself, and he quickly became familiar with Professor Zhou and the other three. Hassan suddenly talked about the recent situation in the Sahara Desert.
“Recently, because of Mr. Ye’s program, many more people come to the desert to travel.”
“You must know that it is the off-season, but the number of people traveling has already It’s almost the same as in previous peak seasons.”
"You are Chinese, right? You should know Ye Zhen and "Into Popular Science", right?" Hassan glanced at Professor Zhou and the others.
Professor Zhou did not expect that in this place in the Sahara Desert, any tour guide would know Ye Zhen.
“Of course, we will keep up with every program.” Professor Zhou and the others were chatting with Hassan about Ye Zhen’s program.
We finally found a common topic.
Si Xiaoping asked: "Recently, do many people want to go into the depths of the Sahara Desert and see the Eye of the Sahara?"
Hassan nodded, "Because of Mr. Ye's program, the Eye of the Sahara has become quite popular now."
"After all, the ruins of prehistoric civilization may also be the ruins of the legendary Atlantis civilization. . ”
“Who wouldn’t be curious? ”
It was exactly what Hassan said when Si Xiaoping went to book a tour guide.
But it is very difficult. It is not easy to find an experienced and reliable tour guide.
In the end, I relied on Professor Zhou, a student working locally in Sahara.
Just contacted Hassan.
Professor Zhou has been a professor in colleges and universities for many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the world is full of students.
According to Professor Zhou’s students, Hassan is an experienced tour guide.
Our ancestors have been aborigines living in the Sahara Desert for generations.
Their family now travels between the depths of the Sahara Desert and the outside world to carry salt.
Hassan’s clear eyes looked at Professor Zhou and the three of them.
"Did you also come here after watching Mr. Ye's show?"
Professor Zhou and the other three nodded.
"You are lucky to have found me."
"It is not that simple to enter the Sahara Desert."
"Although modern technology has been very advanced, the Sahara Desert is still one of the restricted areas for humans."
"Many tourists have recently Died on the journey," Hassan said in a calm voice.
“Why?” Si Xiaoping didn’t understand. He had done strategy guides online.
Tourism in the Sahara Desert is now very mature.
Compared with ancient times, it was not dangerous at all.
Hassan shook his head, "If it is just outside the Sahara Desert, there is no danger at all."
"But the Eye of the Sahara is deep in the desert."
"Some of my friends have also become tour guides recently."
"Guiding some tourists, but I have warned them before."
“Don’t be blinded by money.”
“Many people don’t know the real horror of the Sahara Desert.”
“They think they can conquer this desert with modern technology Land." When Hassan said this, he looked at the sandy sea of Han Hao.
“Many people take people into the Sahara Desert without experience at all.”
“The result is that they never come back.”
"Many people have disappeared recently on the way to the Eye of Sahara."
After hearing Hassan's words, Professor Zhou and the three of them knew that this journey was not as simple as they imagined.
Professor Zhou smiled, "Are you scared?"
Old Wu hammered his waist, "If you were scared, I wouldn't have come here at all."
Si Xiaoping wanted to take care of his future father-in-law, but also wanted to leave a good impression in front of his future father-in-law.
"Of course I'm not afraid anymore, Professor Zhou." Si Xiaoping patted his chest.
Soon it was evening time.
Professor Zhou and the three of them watched the setting sun.
“The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is setting in the long river.” Professor Zhou couldn’t help but sigh.
“Only when you see it with your own eyes can you feel what the ancients wrote.”
Lao Wu looked at the setting sun, "What the ancients wrote is so appropriate."
Si Xiaoping read from the side: "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk."
Hassan let They got on the off-road vehicle and said, "Get in the car, let's set off now."
The four of them could fit in the off-road vehicle, and Hassan was driving.
After getting in the car, the four of them set off towards the depths of the Sahara Desert.
Professor Zhou is very much looking forward to whether the legendary Atlantis is really related to Gonggong, the water god.
