Is this guide really reliable?
Wen Qi shook his head and turned to go into the tent.
The tents brought by the archaeological team were all for four people, so Wen Qi, Fan Xiaoling and two girls from the college lived together. After a day of driving, everyone was tired, so after everyone finished eating and simply cleaned up, everyone went to sleep.
After all, we are in the desert, water is the most luxurious thing, and taking a bath is absolutely impossible.
Wen Qi could use the water spell to gather water, but finding a secluded place to take a shower in the barren desert was harder than finding an oasis. She had no choice but to endure the discomfort, take off her coat and get into her sleeping bag.
The new graduate student next to her said disdainfully: "You don't change your clothes before you sleep? You've been blown by the wind and sand all day, you must be so dirty." As she spoke, she took out her short-sleeved and shorts pajamas and changed into them.
Wen Qi was a little speechless. Not to mention that they had been sitting in the car for a whole day, how could they be blown by the flying sand? Just in the current environment, who can guarantee that it will be safe at night and will not be moved suddenly? When danger comes and everyone needs to move urgently, do they have to wait for you to change clothes first? It's really nonsense.
After rolling his eyes, Wen Qi still reminded him, "It's a waste of time to change clothes. Or you can change into a clean set of outer clothes. If something happens, you can just put on your shoes and coat and leave."
The senior student didn't take it seriously, "Everyone is here, what could happen? I can't sleep without pajamas."
Wen Qi was completely speechless. There was no point in talking if there was no agreement between them. Why did she study archaeology when she was so pampered?
Fan Xiaoling glanced at her and mouthed, "Why do you care so much about her? Wait until she suffers the loss."
Wen Qi raised her hand to cover her eyes, "Go to sleep." Did she want to control it? Was she afraid that she would be in trouble! However, another girl who lived with her hesitated for a moment and did not change her clothes. She just took off her coat and got into the sleeping bag.
Disgust was evident on the senior student's face. She wondered why the three people with her were so dirty. Could she change the tent tomorrow?
Nothing happened the next night.
When she woke up in the morning, the senior schoolmate was even more disgusted with Wen Qi and the other three. It had reached the point where she would turn sideways slightly to avoid them if they walked by.
In this regard, Wen Qi just thought that she was sick in the head.
After another whole day's journey, they were now in an uninhabited area of the desert, and the ancient city was even deeper in the desert. If nothing unexpected happened, they would reach their destination tomorrow afternoon.
Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling wiped the sweat off their bodies in the tent and changed into clean clothes.
As for the dirty clothes... Wen Qi used the water spell to condense a ball of water, mixed it with the laundry, and washed it in a simulated washing machine. After washing, he used the wind spell to air dry it. In just over half an hour, the dry and fragrant clothes were properly put back into the bag.
Fan Xiaoling was amazed. "I was wondering why you prepared three sets of clothes for us. So this is your idea."
Wen Qi raised her eyebrows, "In the desert, food and water are the most important things. Just having some clothes to change into will be enough." Originally, she only wanted to prepare two sets of clothes, but she was afraid of accidents and damaging her clothes, so she prepared an extra set.
Fan Xiaoling thought of the cans that took up most of the space in the travel bag and couldn't help but admire, "You are really thoughtful." She took the dirty clothes and opened the tent and went out, "I'll go demonstrate it to Ming Huai."
Shi Minghuai was full of admiration, "Boss's use of spells has simply reached the pinnacle."
Fan Xiaoling also sighed, "Learn more." She went back with clean clothes.
Shi Minghuai did as he was told and soon washed the dirty clothes. When the Taoist priest in the same tent came back from dinner and saw the clothes, he was shocked, then he continued to wash them with a happy look on his face.
This method spread, but the only people who could really use it were the six Heavenly Masters who accompanied the team. Although the others were envious, they did not dare to ask the Heavenly Masters to condescend to help them wash their clothes. They could only take off their dirty clothes, put them in sealed bags, and stuff them at the bottom of their luggage.
Fortunately, they brought enough clothes, and once they arrived at the ancient city and found a water source, they could naturally wash their clothes.
After a brief bustle, the entire camp fell into silence. Today it was Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling's turn to be on duty in the first half of the night, while the second half would be taken by Shi Minghuai and a Taoist priest hired by the research institute.
The first half of the night was actually very easy to endure. Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling chatted and ate roasted sweet potatoes until it was soon time for the shift handover. When they went back, they were still talking and still hadn't finished.
Just as I lay down and began to feel sleepy, I heard Shi Minghuai shouting outside: "A sandstorm is coming! Get up quickly!"
Wen Qi stood up suddenly, and then the whole camp fell into chaos.
The senior student woke up in a daze, and was startled when she heard the sandstorm. She quickly got up and changed her clothes. By the time she finished dressing, Wen Qi and the other two had already put on their travel bags.
She was so anxious that tears came out, "Wait for me, I will be fine soon, don't leave me."
Wen Qi went over with a sullen face to help her pack her luggage, and stuffed the things he grabbed into her backpack.
Seeing this, the senior student hesitated to speak, but she didn't dare to say anything more. Instead, Fan Xiaoling noticed it and asked, "Is there anything else you want to bring?"
The senior hesitated and said, "No, it's just pajamas... It can't be mixed with other things, it's not clean."
Wen Qi had already stuffed the last thing into the backpack. He paused, rolled his eyes, pulled the backpack tight, raised his hand and threw it at her, saying coldly, "Hurry up."
She hadn't met someone who was so clueless in a long time.
Fan Xiaoling also said "tsk" in annoyance. She shouldn't have said so much. She looked at the senior sister like a fool, turned around and followed her out.
The remaining girls followed him out with indescribable expressions.
The camp was in chaos, and everyone was rushing to load their luggage into the car. There was no time to dismantle the tent, so they had to abandon it. At the same time, the wind was getting stronger and stronger.
It only took ten minutes for everyone to get on the bus and, under the guidance of the guide, plan to cross the sandstorm.
The convoy certainly cannot escape in the direction of the sandstorm. Competing with a sandstorm in the desert is undoubtedly seeking death. The only chance of survival is to escape sideways before the sandstorm arrives and quickly leave the area where the sandstorm is moving.
Therefore, every car increased its horsepower to the maximum, but they could still see the wall of sand sweeping in from the left, getting closer and closer to them.
The atmosphere in the car became increasingly depressing, and some female researchers even started crying out of fear.
"Master Wen, can you think of a solution?" The researcher who was sitting in the passenger seat and was responsible for contacting the various vehicles asked sadly. They had done everything they could, and now, apart from Master Wen, they couldn't find anyone else to turn to for help.
Wen Qi stared at the sandstorm and said in a deep voice, "Notify other cars, don't panic if the car flies up, keep steady and don't flip over."
The person in charge's eyes lit up and he immediately did as he was told. After all the vehicles had regained consciousness, he turned his hopeful gaze to Wen Qi.
Wen Qi opened the car window, and strong winds accompanied by sand and gravel rushed in, blowing on people's faces like being slapped in the face by a needle board.
"Master Wen?" The person in charge shouted, covering his face.
Wen Qi ignored him and just said to Fan Xiaoling, "Roll up the window." Then he pulled and pushed with both hands and climbed onto the roof of the car.
After all, the Heavenly Master is just a human with special powers. He is as insignificant as ordinary people in the face of natural disasters, but he does have some means of escape.
The six Heavenly Masters were divided into three groups, sitting in the front, middle and rear cars of the convoy. Wen Qi's car happened to be the last one in the convoy. She half-crouched on the roof of the car, taking advantage of the wind, and quickly formed seals with her hands, condensing a strong wind like a wave.
A strong wind blew from the back of the convoy, penetrated under the cars, dragged up the entire convoy, and sent the cars forward at an extremely fast speed.
When the vehicle left the ground, everyone in the car couldn't help but scream, but because of the previous instructions, they all tried their best to steady their bodies and not shake, trying their best to keep the car stable in the air.
It took a full three minutes for the strong wind to dissipate, and the off-road vehicles landed smoothly one after another. Without any hesitation, the driver of the lead vehicle took over the driving responsibility again, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed forward.
Wen Qi turned her head and saw that the sandstorm was very close, but the convoy had basically left the area covered by the sandstorm. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled reassuringly, "It should be fine."
The person in charge immediately slumped down in his seat and let out a long sigh.
At this time, the guide's voice came from the intercom, "Everyone, it's safe for now. Just in case, we have to drive another two or three kilometers forward and then stop to rest. Thank you for your hard work."
Immediately afterwards, voices filled with relaxation and joy rang out one after another over the intercom.
