Chapter 1223 High Morale

Following Li Pete's order on the intercom, Nabari and Salim drove the No. 1 car like a wild horse roaring and rushing out.

"10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1! Car No. 4 departs!"

After waiting for 10 seconds, Zhang Zian stepped on the gas pedal after receiving the start order, and drove No. 4 out, chasing the smoke and dust raised by No. 1 car.

"10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1! Car No. 5 departs!"

Another car waited for 10 seconds, followed Zhang Zian's No. 4 car and drove out of the tribe.

Zhang Zian lowered the car window, waved goodbye to the children who still hadn't dispersed, and closed the car window until he could no longer see the tribe.

The 13 cars set off one after another, and the starting sequence of the rear car was 10 seconds apart from that of the front car, which was also Lipett's arrangement.

When driving in the deserted Gobi, you don’t have to worry about losing the car in front of you. Instead, you can’t drive too close, otherwise you won’t be able to see anything in the field of view of the car behind you except for the dust raised by the car in front.

Especially the road conditions near Siwa Oasis are not bad. Every car is driving at a high speed to save time and must leave enough braking distance in case of unexpected situations. When it really enters the desert, it will slow down and pull the car closer. distance between cars.

Although Zhang Zian's car was number 4, it was in second place in driving, right behind Nabari's car.

The convoy was very long. As the captains of the two teams, Li Pete and Wei Kang took the No. 2 car and the No. 3 car, and drove in the center of the convoy to prevent the intercom signal from covering the entire convoy.

The mighty 13 high-horsepower off-road vehicles are like a long unruly dragon, roaring angrily and plunging into the vast desert.

The interior of each vehicle is loaded with enough supplies to sustain a person in the desert for 15 days, and if food and drinking water quotas are implemented, it is enough to survive for 30 days.

The whole team was filled with optimism. From time to time, some people sang in different languages ​​on the public channel, ranging from American country songs to European folk songs, to Chinese square dance Divine Comedy, which attracted everyone's cheers and laughter.

Although the public channel is for the vehicles to report the situation regularly, the team leader to issue instructions, and emergency reports for special situations, after all, this is just a departure, and there will be no danger. Everyone's interest.

Both Li Pitt and Wei Kang are full of confidence in this trip. Even if their goal is not achieved, at least it will not be a problem to get out of it.

To be honest, even Zhang Zian, who lacked confidence before the departure, saw such a magnificent convoy, and he couldn't help thinking that he might be unfounded, not to mention the other people in the team, whose self-confidence was inflated to the extreme.

Even Femas was unwilling to be lonely, and sang a ditty into the walkie-talkie, making everyone fall down with laughter.

The only person who can really keep calm is the guide Nabari.

As a guide and the lead car, Nabari has heavy tasks and responsibilities. He scans the front with weather-beaten eyes, informs the rear of the road conditions, and reminds the cars behind to slow down or pay attention to avoiding pits. Apart from that, he rarely speaks .

Salim sat in the passenger seat of car No. 1, full of excitement, and asked Nabari various questions, but Nabari only answered a few of them, about one out of ten questions, and the rest He didn't think it was necessary to answer the question. Salim should observe with his own eyes, listen with his own ears, and perceive with his own heart. A really good guide is not taught.

Salim sang a traditional Bedouin ballad on the public channel, to cheers and cheers, so he swung in the passenger seat like he was riding a surfboard on the waves of the sea Same.

"Uncle Nabari, do you need to rest for a while? I can drive for you." He volunteered to ask, first to please Nabari, because he felt that Nabari's attitude was a little cold, and he was worried that Nabari would not take the car from the desert. The knowledge is imparted to him, and the second is that I have thought about driving addiction,

After all, he had never driven such a good off-road vehicle.

Nabari shook his head, stared ahead and said, "I'm not tired."

Salim was bored, and when he heard the crisp and sweet singing of the Chinese girl on the walkie-talkie, he thought of Shihua, whom he had never met. He inquired from Zhang Zian that Shihua had calmed down the previous turmoil, and instead gained a lot of fans, and asked Zhang Zian to thank him for her.

Salim didn't want her thanks, he just wanted to see her with his own eyes before entering the depths of the desert, and tell her her admiration in her heart, as long as she could smile at him and look at him with eyes like autumn water, he would die no regrets.

However, Zhang Zian told him that Shi Hua had gone to Upper Egypt to travel now, and he heard that he went sightseeing near the Aswan Dam, which made him very regretful.

Ancient Egypt is divided into Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, but this is not divided from the top and bottom of the map, but according to the upper and lower reaches of the Nile River. Upper Egypt, which is located in the upper reaches, is to the south, while Lower Egypt is to the north.

"Maybe it's time to learn Chinese." He murmured, "When I set up camp, I will definitely ask Jeff to teach me Chinese, so that I can communicate with her alone. It's strange, she has a European face, why did she say Chinese? What a shame, if only she could speak English..."

Shihua is like an endless mystery to him, and every part fascinates him.

Not far away, a caravan of camels slowly walked toward the convoy, the bells of the camels jingled, and the tanned Bedouin compatriots stared at the convoy expressionlessly. Although they rode camels in the sun, while Nabari and Salim drove with the air conditioner on, there was no envy in their eyes.

Nabari sighed and said, "The Chinese are too anxious."

Salim was dumbfounded when he heard it, thinking he was talking about Shihua, and never thought how Nabari could know Shihua, so he said immediately: "Uncle Nabari, Shihua is a good girl, she is not in a hurry at all!"

Nabari was also dumbfounded.

The uncle and nephew stared at each other.

After a while, Nabari said, "I mean Mr. Li and Mr. Wei, who is Shihua?"

"Ah? Oh! It's nothing!" Salim sneered, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Uncle Nabari, why do you say they are in a hurry?"

Nabari sighed, "I suggested to them—I'm not against driving into the desert, but it's better to bring a few camels, but they unanimously refused, saying that bringing camels would slow down the journey, and that would require carrying more supplies , it will delay longer in the desert, but it will increase the chance of encountering danger."

As he spoke, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, "But in the desert, I still trust camels more."
