Chapter 354 Three Days Later
"Taotie, go and kill that bait. The others quickly cleaned the battlefield, loaded all the available supplies on the truck, and took the camels away with them, digging into the ground. Rat, dig a hole and bury the body.”
After the battle, Fang Xiaocao immediately issued an order to direct everyone to perform their duties.
“Yes!”
Taotie responded, mounted a camel, and chased in the direction of the bait.
Fang Xiaocao just thought that the gunshot just now might alert the bait, so she let Taotie go. She was worried about others going.
This time we suppressed the bandits and gained a lot.
There are eight camels alone.
The dead camel carcass is not included.
Fang Xiaocao felt that he had made a fortune from the food, weapons and ammunition that the upper-class bandits carried with them.
The camel carcass was not spared by the burrowing rat. He took out the dagger he carried with him and began to cut it. It was all high-quality protein. He spread it with salt and roasted it to make jerky. He could only eat compressed biscuits with canned meat. In the desert, I am full and satiated.
The only drawback is that it is a bit of a waste of time. Today's journey may be delayed, but Fang Xiaocao did not stop the mole's behavior.
The most important things in the desert are food and water. If you can make more dried meat to take with you, Fang Xiaocao feels that arriving a day late is not a problem.
The gopher cut up the camel meat, took out the compressed fuel and lit the fire, and asked Liu Yishou and Xiao Luban to grill the meat while he handled the body.
Fang Xiaocao was not idle when he saw this, and joined the barbecue together.
Soon Taotie came back on a camel.
“Kill?”
Fang Xiaocao asked.
“That’s right!”
Taotie jumped off the camel with a smile.
Help the gopher to bury the body.
Taotie also came over to barbecue together.
The five people roasted camel meat for more than two hours. After having a full meal, they loaded the barbecue and camel skins into the car and continued on their way.
——
After three days of trekking in the desert day and night, there was obviously a hint of fatigue on the faces of Fang Xiaocao and the other five people.
It's not that I didn't get enough rest, it's just that I was exhausted due to the harsh environment.
It was nearly noon, and Fang Xiaocao’s team stopped rushing again and chose a windy place to camp. Liu Yishou took the gopher with him and rode a camel to explore the road, checking the surrounding terrain to make sure there was No deviation from the original route.
Taotie and Xiao Luban set up the tent, Fang Xiaocao skillfully lit a fire and cooked camel meat soup.
The few people did not say a word throughout the whole process, but they performed their duties in a tacit understanding.
This is the result of three days of hard work.
Half an hour later!
Liu Yishou and the Drilling Rat are back!
Before returning to the camp, the burrowing rat shouted: "Your Highness, there is a situation ahead!"
Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao and the other two people immediately became vigilant and started to panic. Drawn his weapon.
“What did you find?”
Taotie asked in a deep voice.
"Liu and I just went to explore the terrain and found fresh camel dung five hundred meters away from our camp."
"We followed the traces along the way. I went up to take a look and found that it was two kilometers ahead of us. There is a camp with ten people, two off-road vehicles, and twelve camels. There are bullet holes in their vehicles, and there are wounded people. They must have been involved in a battle not long ago. "
Drilling Rats. He said everything he had just seen.
Listening to the story of the burrowing rat, Fang Xiaocao couldn't help but think of the bandit who was killed by his group three days ago.
"Did you have a fight with bandits?" Fang Xiaocao asked blurtly.
The Gopher shook his head: "Probably not. The bandits never leave anyone alive, nor do they fight an uncertain battle. Their fishing plan is to swallow whatever they can. Just swallow it in one gulp, and those who can't swallow it will follow you, waiting for the support of your accomplices to arrive, and swallow the prey together."
Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao shut up.
If she doesn’t understand, she just listens with her ears.
"Are there any signs on the car?"
"Can you tell which fleet it belongs to?"
Taotie wiped his knife and asked in a deep voice.
Drilling Rat pondered for a moment and said: "There is no logo from the Jianghu on the car. It should not be a colleague or someone from the Jianghu. There is no official logo. It should not be a scientific expedition team. I Guess it’s probably some kind of private expedition team.”
Taotie narrowed his eyes: “Come here for an adventure?”
"Will the civilian expedition team carry guns?"
"They are either officials or people from the Jianghu!"
Drilling Rat nodded: "My uncle is right, I didn't think well. "
Fang Xiaocao understood and asked, "Taotie, what should we do?"
"Should we contact them?"
"Or go around?"
Taotie played with the knife in his hand thoughtfully and fell into silence.
Seeing that Taotie didn't speak, the others also consciously closed their mouths, waiting for Taotie to speak.
Fang Xiaocao didn't care when she arrived. The origin of the place was unknown. What she thought was that it was better to do less than to do more. The best thing to do was to go around it.
"Little Luban, you and the Drilling Rat bring some supplies over there, get in touch with them, and find out their origins and experiences."
At this time, the silent Taotie spoke.
Fang Xiaocao did not expect that Taotie would choose to have direct contact with those people. He looked at Taotie with some surprise and asked the reason with his eyes.
After understanding Fang Xiaocao's eyes, Taotie explained: "Their position is directly in front of us. Even if we let go now, there is no guarantee that we will not encounter them again."
"It's better to go directly. To find out the truth, I have a feeling that their purpose may be the same as ours."
After hearing Taotie's explanation, Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Just do what Taotie said."
< br>
Fang Xiaocao felt that Taotie's concerns were right.
Even if we go around now, there is no guarantee that they will not meet each other early. If they walk fast, it’s okay, and they always keep their light and darkness. We can use them as pioneers to find the way. At the back of my team, it becomes me who is in front of him, and he is in the dark. If the other party is not a good person, it is easy to be attacked by surprise.
“Yes!”
Fang Xiaocao has spoken, and Xiao Luban and the Drilling Rat have responded and started to prepare for action.
“No matter what happens, you two, don’t be afraid. I will watch from the sand dunes. Once you are in danger, I will teach them how to behave.”
Taotie said with a smile.
Although Taotie's expression was ferocious, his words were inexplicably reassuring.
“Yes, uncle!”
Little Lu Ban and the other two nodded and said.
Little Luban and Drilling Rat did not drive there, but directly took some supplies and set off on camels.
After the two left, Fang Xiaocao immediately began to pack up the tent and prepare to leave.
After finishing cleaning up, Fang Xiaocao asked Liu Yishou to drive around to the other direction of those people, lest those people catch Xiao Luban and the others and follow the clues to find them.
When Fang Xiaocao successfully escaped the camp and found the best observation point, Xiao Luban and the others riding camels happened to appear outside the camp...
