Chapter 30 Lost

Qin Chuan guessed correctly, the accidentally fired rifle hit the camel, and it was the leading camel... The leading camel was frightened and immediately stood up and ran away, and the other camels naturally followed and ran into the wind and sand.

This made Bushira panic. You know, these camels carry all his belongings, and as a "desert man", the most basic thing is not to let the camels run away, which almost means death, so Bushira hurriedly stood up and chased after them while shouting,

"Come back!" Qin Chuan shouted, but Bushira couldn't hear it at all... In fact, even if he heard it, he didn't know what Qin Chuan was shouting, Bushira didn't understand German.

So Qin Chuan could only watch Bushira disappear in the dust. While he was still stunned, Bazel had dragged him up and shouted in his ear: "Chase, don't let that guy out of our sight!"

Bazel dragged the other people in the company up and took the lead to walk in the direction where Bushira disappeared.

There is nothing wrong with Bazel's doing this, because his mission is to protect Bushira and Alfredo, and more importantly, Bushira, the tour guide...Now that Bushira is in trouble, his first reaction is of course to chase him back.

But in fact, Bazel's decision was wrong.

The reason is that Bushira is a veteran who has walked in the desert for many years and survived. He naturally has his own set of skills, such as sense of direction and tracking.

In other words, if Bushira runs out like this, he will probably catch up with the camel and return to find the main force, while Bazel will run out with the troops to look around...that's another matter.

Although Qin Chuan felt that something was wrong, he still obeyed the order and followed Bazel and others to chase after him.

The sandstorm made visibility very low, so Qin Chuan and others could only move forward towards the sound of camel bells, but as they walked, they could no longer hear the camel bells. Then they suddenly found that the people who were supposed to follow them had gone. Qin Chuan wanted to go back to find the main group, but he could not tell the direction in the sandstorm. He vaguely saw a few figures stumbling forward in front of him, so he had to follow them all the way.

Qin Chuan tried several times to get them to stop, but failed, because as soon as they opened their mouths, the sandstorms would pour in, making Qin Chuan unable to make any sound.

After walking for an unknown period of time, they still could not find Bushira and his camel. In fact... Qin Chuan and others lost themselves.

At this time, the sandstorm finally stopped, and it was not until then that Qin Chuan realized that the three people walking in front were Werner, Keller and Alfredo.

"Where are the others?" Qin Chuan asked.

"I don't know!" Werner replied: "I thought they were with you!"

Qin Chuan looked around and found that it was dark at this time, and it was pitch black all around and he could not see anything.

Then everyone shouted in unison:

"Is anyone there?"

"Captain Bazel!"

"Second Lieutenant Kuhn!"

...

But no one answered them, even when several people climbed to the top of the hill and shouted in unison.

"Are we...lost?" Alfredo asked, with a flash of fear in his eyes.

The soldiers did not answer, this was a question that did not need an answer at all.

After a pause, Werner said, "We have two choices: one is to stay where we are, they may send someone to find us, and the other is for us to find them!"

"I don't think they will send someone to find us!" Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "Because it is too common for several soldiers to get separated or disappear in the storm, and this is still a desert. None of our soldiers are as familiar with this land as Bushira. Sending people to find them will only cause more people to disappear!"

Werner thought about it and felt that it was right, then nodded and said, "Then... we can only find them ourselves!"

"But how to find them?" Alfredo said, "We don't know where they are at all. Maybe we are walking in the opposite direction and getting farther and farther away without knowing it!"

After Alfredo said this, Werner fell silent.

After a pause, Werner pushed this difficult problem to Qin Chuan: "Sergeant, what should we do now?"

Qin Chuan looked at the starry sky and asked instead, "How much water do you have left?"

"I still have one pot left!"

"I still have one and a half pots!"

...

Luckily, several people got together and still had five pots of water.

"My idea is this!" Qin Chuan said, "We must be prepared to rely on these five pots of water to reach the Muses Oasis!"

"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"That may take three days or even longer, Sergeant!" Werner said, "And we may not be able to find the Muses Oasis!"

"That's why we need to plan it!" Qin Chuan replied, "Our troops are heading towards the Muses Oasis. If we want to find them, we must go in the direction of the Muses Oasis!"

"Yes!" Alfredo agreed, "This way, we won't go in the opposite direction of the troops without knowing it, and it will increase our chances of finding the troops or being found on the road."

"That's right!" Qin Chuan nodded, "But this doesn't rule out the possibility that we haven't found the troops yet..."

"If this happens..." Werner continued, "That means we have to go all the way to the oasis!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded: "Although I don't want this to happen, we must be prepared, right?"

Everyone was silent after hearing this, but although they didn't speak, they knew that Qin Chuan's plan was the most reasonable... at least others haven't thought of a better plan yet.

"If you all have no objection!" Qin Chuan shook the kettle and said: "Then from now on... we can only consume a maximum of one and a half kettles of water every day, so that we can at least last for three days. Just in case, collect urine in an empty kettle!"

Werner and others looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.

"Sergeant!" Then Werner asked again: "But how do we know the direction of Muses Oasis?"

"Look up at the sky, Werner!" Qin Chuan pointed to a star in the sky and said: "That is the North Star, it will only appear in the north, which means... this side is the east, which is the direction of the oasis!"

Qin Chuan said and walked away.

Alfredo followed and asked, "Sergeant, what should we do if we run out of water and can't find an oasis!"

"Then... just lie down on the ground and take a nap!" Qin Chuan replied.
