Chapter 1248: Disagreement

After the convoy set off again, the morale of the convoy improved. First, because they met the group of cute fennec foxes, everyone felt that they were not the only living creatures in this desert. Second, they started about two hours late , which means that you will spend two hours less in the heat of hell today.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the convoy stopped to rest.

Everyone used aluminum alloy brackets and white cloth to set up a simple canopy to let the off-road vehicles exposed to the sun rest, so as not to run overloaded for a long time in high temperature, and then they rested separately.

The solar charger is unfolded facing the sun, and N USB cables are extended to charge your various digital devices such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, cameras, and charging treasures.

Zhang Zian also needs to charge the drone, mobile phone and laptop.

The sun in the desert, the charging efficiency is quite high, and every digital device is resurrected with blood, but unfortunately without the blessing of the network, it is almost meaningless after all.

When the Internet addiction came up, it was really scratching your head. Everyone stared at Li Pete eagerly, and their eyes were gathered together, which was even hotter than the scorching sun. They expected him to take out the satellite communication terminal again to let everyone relieve their Internet addiction.

Li Pete was helplessly stared at by everyone, so he had to order someone to set up the terminal, but it could only be set up under the canopy. The signal is not as good as setting it up in the open air, otherwise it will be exposed in minutes.

Everyone cheered in unison, the fatigue of the journey in the past few days seemed to fly away from the sky, and the long drought and the sweet rain were nothing more than that.

Zhang Zian also just turned on his laptop, uploaded the new chapters that π wrote in the past few days to the website, and set up regular updates.

Everyone sat in the shade while surfing the Internet in various postures, even Salim, who was deeply influenced by modern urban life, was no exception. Looking at the entire camp, only Nabari and Li Pete had no digital devices in their hands.

Li Pete held a map in his hand, and talked with Nabari as they walked, and the two pointed to the distance in the desert.

The network is very slow, and the server of the website is notoriously scumbag. Zhang Zian failed to upload several times, so he repeatedly refreshed and tried again in boredom.

It happened that Li Pete and Nabari walked not far from him, and he also looked in the direction they pointed, and there was nothing but thousands of miles of yellow sand.

However, Lippett's map caught his attention, because it was not a standard map, but a map printed out by himself, with some strange marks on the map, and another modern map on the back, Mark the scale, point the map at the sun, and the two maps will overlap.

Could this be a copy of the sheepskin map?

The conversation between Lipett and Nabari seems to have diverged,

The latter's tone, which had always been calm, suddenly became fierce, and he made gestures to strengthen his tone.

"No! No! It's too dangerous there! Absolutely not!" Nabari said, waving his hand.

His voice was so loud that not only Zhang Zian, but also other people nearby could hear it. Only some people who wore earphones to listen to music, watch movies, or play single-player games didn't hear it.

Li Pete, who was wearing brown crystal glasses, seemed to have expected Nabari's reaction, and said a few more words in a calm voice. Although Zhang Zian couldn't hear him, he guessed that he should be rewarded with a lot of money. There are brave men.

But Nabari remained unmoved, just waved his hands, and refused to agree no matter what Lipit said.

After finally uploading π's manuscript successfully, the safety of the whole team was at stake. At this time, Zhang Zian couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. He closed the laptop screen, stood up and asked, "Mr. Nabari, what happened?"

Others also put down what they were doing, and gathered around curiously.

Nabari shook his head and said: "So far, we have been walking along the ancient smuggling road, which is also an ancient camel road, but Mr. Captain now wants me to deviate from the ancient camel road and go to the sea of ​​​​devils, where countless devils linger , the place where even the true gods have abandoned it. I’m sorry that I can’t promise to take you there, because it’s going to die, and it’s said that no one who goes there can come out... Jeff, help me persuade him. "

Everyone looked at Li Pete, waiting for him to speak.

Li Pitt smiled disapprovingly: "Mr. Nabari, I respect the legends and customs of your tribe, but you also know that our equipment is very complete. I believe that whether it is the sea of ​​​​devils or the sea of ​​death, it is no big deal."

Zhang Zian frowned slightly, and asked, "Why do you want to go there?"

Li Pitt raised the map in his hand, "Because that is our destination. Didn't you want to see this sheepskin map a long time ago? Now you can look at it casually."

With that said, he generously handed the map to Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian took the map and looked at the front and back alternately. To be honest, he couldn't see anything, because on the modern map, this area is blank, and only the coordinates are marked with latitude and longitude lines. On the ancient map, it is There are things like oases and lakes drawn, but whether this ancient map is real or not, it is doubtful whether the oases and lakes on the map still exist in modern times.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

After Wei Kang and his colleagues from Cairo University sent emails, they found that there were many people around here, and their voices were still loud, as if they were arguing.

Zhang Zian handed the map to Wei Kang, and briefly explained the situation by the way.

Wei Kang pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Nabari, you said that you once saw a cat that looked like Fina in the desert. Can you tell me how far it is from the area where you saw the cat?"

Nabari's complexion changed slightly, and he said hesitantly: "If I remember correctly, it is not far from the Devil's Sea, but it did not enter the Devil's Sea. In fact, my father also strongly opposed approaching the Devil's Sea, but that The group of guests had to go through there, and if they took a long detour, they might not have enough water and food. Later, my father thought that as long as they didn’t enter the Devil’s Sea, it shouldn’t be a big problem, so he took them there, and it turned out…”

Wei Kang believed in science, and actually disdained the illusory tribal legends of the Bedouin in his heart, but he was well restrained and didn't say it out loud.

In addition, since the location where the cat was discovered was located on the outskirts of the Devil's Sea, there was no need for the scientific expedition team to venture deeper.

He glanced at Li Pitt and said, "Mr. Li Pitt, Mr. Nabari is very resistant to entering the sea of ​​​​devils. I think we should not make things difficult for others, shall we?"

Li Pitt said firmly, "I will not force others, as long as Mr. Nabari takes us to the vicinity of the Devil's Sea, then your scientific expedition team will stay outside to conduct your scientific research observations, and we will enter the Devil's Sea, and then agree Good time to meet outside and leave the desert together, what do you think?"

This is a way to get the best of both worlds.
