Chapter 188 Finding Oil Fields (2)
The next day, after everyone had breakfast in the morning, they began to set off again. As the hilly areas became deeper and deeper, more and more animals began to appear, such as ejaculation, scorpions, lizards, etc., vultures and rabbits, in short, they all appeared in imaginary and unimaginable.
Jiang Cheng drove the way forward, killing at least seven or eight snakes. The headless snake slowly packed it scared Qin Fei to lose energy all morning. After about four hours passed, everyone reached the top of the mountain and walked slowly down the valley to the west.
Until the middle of the valley, An Qingdong shouted and stopped, and then began to fiddle with the tools. Gong Yue leaned over and his tongue was dry at this time, and his lips were dry, and he was still very concerned about the display on the instrument. Jiang Cheng kept watch in front of the two, and after waiting for a while, he finally heard An Qingdong shout.
"Let's take a break first." An Qingdong said to everyone. Gong Yue looked at his relieved look and jumped up excitedly, saying, "Brother An, have you found the entrance to the oil field?" An Qingdong looked at him angrily and said, "How is that easy? But we found the underground river. Next, we will investigate one place at a time."
Gong Yue said oh, and asked again: "Then we need to check a few more places. Will there be oilfield entrances in these places?" Gong Yue was curious and couldn't stop it. An Qingdong shook his head and said: "This is very difficult to say. Check the points here, and you will know when you look at the wave frequency of the electromagnetic instrument in a while. If you are lucky, you may check the points in two places. If you are not lucky, you will have more than a dozen."
"Oh my God, more than a dozen... I'll do it." Gong Yue suddenly lost his energy and sat down next to An Qingdong. An Qingdong took a deep breath and said, "When I go back, I will bring a set of the most professional equipment to let you know what a thousand mountains are in one second. Our An family has at least five nautical miles per hour in terms of sea detection!"
Listening to the two chatting, Jiang Cheng frowned a little. He looked at the wind direction in the distance, and gradually changed a little. In this desert, the longest thing to be wary of is a sandstorm. The terrain changes in the place where the sandstorm passes will be very large, and if you don’t pay attention, you will easily lose your direction.
"Gong Yue, Brother An, we have to find a place to avoid it first." Jiang Cheng saw that the storm was slowly forming, so he quickly turned his head and said to the two. Gong Yue and An Qingdong didn't understand what was going on. At this time, Jiang Cheng had already walked down and quickly explained to the two.
After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, everyone immediately started packing their luggage and preparing to leave. An Qingdong kept looking at the instrument, feeling very unwilling. It took half an hour to show the wave frequency of this thing, and it was about to evacuate immediately. After a while, the inspection point could not be found.
If the sandstorm has passed today, and the survey cannot be carried out at night, we can only come over the next day. But for a few people, there are less than three days left, and we can't withstand such delays. Seeing that the sandstorm is coming, An Qingdong is still standing there, and Jiang Cheng hurried over.
"Brother An, let's go. If you don't have it today, come tomorrow. We have a chance." Jiang Cheng grabbed An Qingdong's arm and pulled him hard. There was already a sense of order in his eyes. If he stayed here for a long time, he would probably not know what would happen.
An Qingdong sighed helplessly and said, "Okay. Listen to you. Brother Jiang Cheng, let's go." After An Qingdong finished speaking, he carried the equipment and immediately started evacuating. The time for everyone to evacuate was already very early, but the sandstorm was still unexpectedly fast.
With his experience in fighting in the desert, Jiang Cheng brought the four of them to a temporary shelter. With the power of two camels, he used the tent to block one side of the tent and buried his body in the sand. When the sandstorm is coming, he must not stand up. He must bury his body completely in the sand and use the gaps in the tent to obtain oxygen breathing.
The four of them hid in the sand in a thrilling and exciting way. After waiting for unknown periods, they finally felt the quietness around them. At this time, the two camels behind them moved first and shook off a large area of sand. Jiang Cheng and his group also turned over one by one and climbed up from the pile of sand that was as high as the people.
I looked up at the sky and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. This sandstorm lasted from around nine o'clock in the morning until around three o'clock in the afternoon, which was really long enough.
The four of them stood in the pit they formed, constantly patting the sand entering their bodies. Looking at the pit that was nearly two meters deep, the four of them were a little scared. If it weren't for Jiang Cheng, they would have died in this desert many times. An Qingdong first picked up the equipment and prepared to walk back.
But Jiang Cheng grabbed him and shook his head and said, "Brother An, we won't go there today. After the sandstorm, the sand there was particularly soft, and it was water flowing, so there was a very likely quicksand phenomenon." An Qingdong gritted his teeth and looked very hesitant.
"But if we don't go today, we will have another day left. Even if we survey it tomorrow, we still have to check one by one. We don't even have the target for investigation now." An Qingdong was still a little stubborn. After all, the burden on the four of them was now on him.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Brother An, don't worry. No matter how long it takes, we will be able to find the entrance to the oil field. As long as you believe me, Jiang Cheng, I will definitely give you enough time." Jiang Cheng had no choice but to persuade An Qingdong like this.
If the team returns to that valley, it is very likely that they will not be able to find a place to rest before entering the dark. Night is the most terrifying place in the desert. Although Jiang Cheng is looking for the oil field, he does not want everyone to risk his life.
After some struggle in his heart, An Qingdong still listened to Jiang Cheng's words and left the valley, preparing to find another leeward outside to start camping. The four of them worked until nightfall, and finally got the tent up and started to finish their meal.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Gong Yue, Jiang Cheng and An Qingdong stopped talking. Today's incident was a big blow to the three of them. They had already found the underground flow, but they didn't have time to find a check point. As time became tighter, everyone's hearts became tighter and tighter.
Just as the three of them were not talking, Qin Fei in the tent suddenly walked out, sat in front of the campfire, and said, "I'll sing a song for you." The three of them were stunned, raised their heads and looked at Qin Fei. Qin Fei smiled at the three of them with a rare smile and began to sing softly on their own.
Her voice was melodious and crisp, and she sang a song called "The Flower House Girl". The vicissitudes in the tune disappeared completely, but there was a little more love scene for children, which briefly eliminated the fatigue of the three of them. After all, she was a girl with a relatively meticulous mind. At this time, she sang the stiff atmosphere away.
The next morning, just dawn. Jiang Chengzhu had already woken up. He didn't sleep very well last night. If they didn't find the entrance to the oil field today, they would have to go back. It would take two days to go on the way back. As the leader of the team, Jiang Cheng must count this time.
Not long after Jiang Cheng woke up, An Qingdong and Gong Yue both got up. They also understood that the task today was arduous and they had to start traveling as soon as possible. After the four of them finished washing up, they began to look for camels to prepare to go back to the mountain peak yesterday. But when they were about to set off, they found that both camels were gone.
Jiang Cheng and An Qingdong immediately started looking for it. This camel usually rests quietly at night, basically without any tying animals. But why can't it be found in the morning? It's really strange. Jiang Cheng and An Qingdong walked, and An Qingdong walked.
"This desert survey has indeed a lot of knowledge. No wonder my father didn't let me go to the Xinjiang oil field back then. He turned out to be afraid that I would endure hardships." An Qingdong recalled his youth, and Jiang Chengze smiled and said, "I joined you and went to the Xinjiang oil field back then. So is it easy for us to find a lot now?"
An Qingdong shook his head and said, "Brother Jiang Cheng, you respect me so much. Anyway, this is also a big desert, and it is good to find underground flow." The two of them said that, the atmosphere became more relaxed. At this moment, they saw a sunken pit, and camel stood in the center of the pit.
Seeing the unstable sandy texture, Jiang Cheng said to An Qingdong: "Brother An, don't come down first. I'll go down and take a look, you're waiting for me on it."
Jiang Cheng said, taking out a stick from behind and starting to walk all the way to the big pit. Although it is logical that there is definitely no quicksand where even camels can go down, Jiang Cheng is more cautious and took about ten minutes to get to the bottom of the big pit.
Jiang Cheng put away his stick and strided towards the two camels. Just as he was about to scold the two camels, he suddenly saw something reflective on the ground. When he looked closely, he actually found that it was a source of water. Jiang Cheng suddenly turned angry and had not replenished the water source for the past three days, and the four of them were almost thirsty.
So Jiang Cheng lay on the ground and was about to take a few mouthfuls of water to wash, he suddenly heard An Qingdong shouting from behind: "Brother Jiang Cheng!!! I found it!" Before Jiang Cheng could get his hand down, he immediately turned around and looked at An Qingdong in surprise.
An Qingdong waved his hand vigorously at Jiang Cheng and said, "I found it! I found it!!" As he said, An Qingdong jumped directly into the sand and rolled down. He didn't care about the dust and ran towards Jiang Cheng with great strides.
With a thud, he knelt in front of Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng said strangely: "Brother An, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see a mirage?" An Qingdong touched the wet sand and a black luster, laughed wildly, and said: "I found it, it's here! The entrance to the oil field!"
