Lin Yiwan suddenly woke up from her dream.
I opened my eyes and looked outside the space. I found that the sandstorm had stopped at some point.
The sky was covered with a layer of rusty yellow yarn, and the moonlight seemed to be covered with a layer of yarn, with a dull red color.
In the dim night, a tall figure was running madly across the Gobi Desert.
"Wanwan!"
The sound tore through the wind and sand, like a blunt knife scraping across rough rock, so hoarse that the original sound was almost indistinguishable. The last word was followed by a trembling gasp, as if every word shouted was consuming the last of his strength.
Lin Yiwan's heart skipped a beat and she almost couldn't help but blurt out a response.
But when she thought that she was still in the space, if she went out rashly, she would definitely be bumped into by him, so she endured it.
Not long after, the figure came up to him.
Not sure if it was a coincidence or something, he stopped.
Only then did Lin Yiwan see the man's appearance clearly.
I saw that he was wrapped in thick yellow sand, with his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes all covered with khaki sand crusts, just like a pottery figurine that had just crawled out of the ground.
His lips were cracked and bleeding, and with every step he took, fine sand fell from the folds of his clothes, leaving streaks of muddy sweat and sand on his face.
The most terrifying thing was the pair of bloodshot eyes that kept trembling on the dust-covered face, with near-collapse fear surging in the pupils.
His eyes were fixed on the sand curtain in the distance, as if he would see something in the next second, but also as if he would never see it again.
At just one glance, Lin Yiwan was shocked on the spot, and her vision blurred without her knowing when.
He kept looking for me in the sandstorm?
Listening to his tearful cries, Lin Yiwan wished she could just go back to space and tell him that she was fine.
But can he really accept the drama of bringing a living person out of thin air?
Lin Yiwan wasn't sure.
She was also afraid that she would not be able to bear the consequences of exposing the space, so in the end she could only bite her lip and endure it.
She planned to wait until Xie Lin walked away before chasing him.
But before Xie Lin could leave, suddenly, several people in military uniforms came.
"Deputy Captain, have you found your sister-in-law?"
The person who spoke was Zhao Dahe, the strong man who came to pick her up when she first joined the army.
"not yet."
Xie Lin's voice sounded like it had been rubbed by sandpaper, so hoarse that the words were almost inaudible.
It was just three short words, but they sounded like they were forced out from his chest, with the ending tone trembling, as if he would completely lose control if he said one more word.
When Zhao Dahe heard this, the flesh on his face twitched violently. He slammed his thigh hard, his rough voice filled with anger: "You bastard, you can't even take care of yourself!"
He now blames the people in the Agricultural Reclamation Corps. If his sister-in-law had not come here to exchange experiences with them, how could she have gotten lost in the Gobi Desert? We also encountered a sandstorm.
After saying that, he took off the water bottle slung over his body and handed it to Xie Lin.
"The brothers have already dispersed to look for it. We can't walk far in this horrible weather. Have a drink of water first."
But Xie Lin still stared at the endless Gobi Desert in the distance, his Adam's apple rolling, and he had no reaction to the water bag handed to him.
When others saw him like this, they all felt uncomfortable.
After learning that his sister-in-law was lost and encountered a sandstorm, the deputy commander, who was always as calm as an iron man, went crazy.
Ignoring the storm and everyone's dissuasion, he plunged into the sandstorm to look for the unknown Lin Yiwan.
From the beginning to the end, I didn't drink a single breath.
"Deputy Captain, at least drink a sip of water. If you collapse, who will lead us to find my sister-in-law?!"
Chen Dongqiang also advised.
Lin Yiwan in the space heard that her man had been looking for her for eight hours in the sandstorm, and she felt anxious and upset.
But she didn't dare to go just now, and she was even more afraid now.
After all, there were a few more outsiders, and she absolutely could not expose her own space.
Finally, she could only wander around in space anxiously.
The little guy in her belly probably sensed her mother's emotions and kicked her belly anxiously.
In the end, Xie Lin took the kettle and drank a few sips of water.
"Separate and continue searching."
After leaving this sentence, he strode forward.
And at this moment, suddenly, a thunder-like sound of horse hooves came from far away. At first it was just a faint tremor, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a roar like a rainstorm.
The sand began to rustle, and fine grains of sand splashed under the horseshoes. Dozens of black shadows pierced through the sand curtain of the night, tearing through the chaos like a sharp knife.
"Oh no! It's bandits!"
Zhao Dahe shouted softly.
Several people reflexively loaded their guns and instantly formed a triangular defense formation.
Two soldiers half-knelt in front, with Type 95 rifles against their shoulders in a fan-shaped alert.
Xie Lin and Zhao Dahe stood back to back, one staring at the dark shadows of the cavalry in the dust, while the other listened attentively to distinguish the direction of the horse's hoof sounds.
The communicator Lao Wang rolled over and hid behind the rock. He had already pulled the safety ring of the grenade and his thumb was firmly pressing the trigger.
The muzzles of everyone's guns moved slowly along with the dark shadows that appeared and disappeared in the wind and sand, and their breathing became heavy and regular under the dust masks.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Xie Lin fired a shot into the air.
"Stop! Get off the horse immediately!"
The roar was like a thunder that broke the silence of the Gobi Desert.
But the sound of horse hooves not only did not stop, but rushed straight towards this side!
"Damn it! They're soldiers! Guys, the chance for revenge has come, fight for me!"
The leader raised his hand and waved towards this side.
The next moment, gunshots rang out!
No one knew who started the fight first, but a few "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, and the leading bandit and the men on both sides fell off their horses!
"The boss!"
When the bandits saw that their leader was killed after just one encounter, they immediately panicked!
"Fuck him, why are you panicking? How many of them are there? How many of us are there? Let's fight them and avenge the boss!"
Someone raised his arm and took over the baton of command!
It turns out that these bandits are numerous and powerful, and they live a very comfortable life in the northwest.
But ever since the soldiers started suppressing the bandits, the lives of the horse bandits have become more and more difficult.
Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing his parents!
Seeing the lone soldier at this moment, the group of horse bandits also became bloodthirsty!
He rode his horse towards this side without caring about anything!
Another burst of chaotic gunfire rang out.
The horse bandits fell one after another.
It seemed like the other side had a sharpshooter who never missed his target. Half of the bandits fell down in an instant!
But the soldiers don't have an easy time either.
Zhao Dahe, who was leading the charge, had a hole in his shoulder and was now lying on the ground with blood gushing out.
The others were also injured to varying degrees.
Although Xie Lin was not injured, the other side had more people and they all had guns.
Lin Yiwan was worried that if this continued, even Xie Lin would be in danger.
Seeing the horse bandits getting closer and closer, and more and more people falling to the ground, she was so anxious that her heart was about to jump out of her throat!
Finally, she gritted her teeth, took out the gun she had just put into the space, and poked a gun muzzle out of the space.
Aim at the bandits and fire a few shots!
It was not known whether it was due to her special talent or good luck, but two more bandits fell down.
The gunfire was chaotic and no one noticed where the extra shots came from.
But Xie Lin seemed to have sensed something, and looked straight towards Lin Yiwan with sharp eyes.
