People kept falling behind me, and the cries and screams were endless.
After running forward for an incense stick's time (half an hour), the screams gradually faded away, and everyone slowly stopped, all panting heavily.
Putting down the cart, Qi Yanxuan took two water bags from the cart, quietly poured some spiritual spring water into them, and then handed them to Shen Yanshan and Shen Yanqing.
Looking around, they could hear sobs rising from the crowd. Among those who had not caught up were their relatives. This time, the scorpion group eliminated some of them, and those people were buried forever under the yellow sand.
After a short rest, everyone started looking for their own team. Fortunately, there were not many people in the team. A group of nearly 10,000 people died, and several thousand people were running in the same direction. They were not scattered, so it was relatively easy to find them.
The villagers of Kaoshan Village were also walking towards Qi Yanxuan and the other two. All of them had long hair, and Qi Yanxuan was the only one with short hair. He was still easy to recognize. Everyone used Qi Yanxuan's head as a coordinate and quickly gathered together.
"Yan Xuan, thanks to your brain, otherwise it would be difficult for us to find you if you got lost!" Shen Kui's loud voice could be heard from a long distance away.
When his wife heard him say this, she twisted his waist hard and glared at him, but he didn't care and grinned at his wife.
"Yes, it's all thanks to Yan Xuan and Yan Qing, otherwise we wouldn't have had enough time to run."
"That's right. Otherwise, when those scorpions get close, we'll probably end up like those people."
Everyone was a little scared as they talked about it.
The village chief saw that everyone had quieted down before continuing, "We can still find the enemy this time with a few thousand people, but what if there are tens of thousands in the future? We still have to find a way."
Qi Yanxuan was familiar with this. Before the apocalypse, tour guides would always hold a small flag to lead the group. Thinking of this, Qi Yanxuan said to the village chief, "How about making a flag? Write 'Kaoshan Village' on it, or choose a pattern. That way, everyone can follow the flag and there's no need to worry about getting separated even if there are a lot of people."
The village chief clapped his hands and agreed immediately. "Okay, let's do it. It will be daybreak soon anyway. It won't be difficult to make a flag. We can set off after it's done."
The daylight hours in the desert are too long, and it is dawn before the hour of Mao.

The village chief put the flag on his family's ox cart, and a word "mountain" was written on the red cloth on the long stick.
Now everyone was no longer afraid of getting separated, so they packed up their things and continued on their way.
Three days later, the large force entered the heart of the desert.
Today's weather is much more muggy than usual, the sky is a little dark, and visibility is very low.
Qi Yanxuan was lost in thought when a strong wind suddenly blew up, and a flash of inspiration struck him. Oh no! There's probably a sandstorm!
He hurriedly grabbed Shen Yanqing and called everyone to a halt, "Stop! A sandstorm is coming! Find a place to shelter nearby, cover your face and eyes with a cloth, lie down and wait for the sandstorm to pass!"
After hearing this, the villagers of Kaoshan Village all sought shelter from the wind.
Qi Yanxuan and the other two came to a small hill. They covered their faces with cloth, lay down, and waited for the sandstorm to pass.
A quarter of an hour later, a sandstorm hit mercilessly. The whole sky was dark and gloomy, with howling winds and flying sand and rocks.
The sandstorm lasted for half an hour before it gradually stopped.
Qi Yanxuan and the other two were in a better situation as they were leaning against a small hill. They were the first to get up. The three of them looked at each other and scooped up supplies in tacit understanding.
Afterwards, some people began to shake off the thick sand on their bodies. There was a large group of people, some were shaking off the sand, some were digging in the sand for their relatives and friends, and some were digging for supplies.
"It's finally over. I was lying there so hard I couldn't even stand up straight."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Find the luggage quickly, it's all buried."
…
After all the things were pulled up, everyone returned to the team, but this time everyone had sand on their heads, which looked a bit funny.
"It's getting dark. Let's just stay here for the night and leave tomorrow." The village chief sounded weak as he spoke.
"Oh, what bad luck! We've only been in the desert for a few days, and already there are scorpions and sandstorms."
“I don’t know what’s next, but every day is so exciting.”
"Please don't stimulate me anymore. I really can't stand it anymore."
The three Shen brothers walked away chatting.
night.
Qi Yanxuan took out two small tents from his backpack. Actually, they were secretly taken out from the space a few days ago. They have been using them to spend the night these days. When everyone saw this kind of tent for the first time, they were a little curious. It was just a little small and could only sleep one person. It was a bit crowded for two people.
As for why I took two instead of three? I think everyone should understand! (*^ω^*)
Inside the tent, Qi Yanxuan spread out the quilt and was waiting for Shen Yanqing.
Chen Yanqing stood outside, hesitant to move forward. He was still a little uncomfortable these days, especially when Qi Yanxuan would snuggle into his arms while sleeping.
"I'd better go keep watch." He said and prepared to leave.
Qi Yanxuan would never let him go. He stepped forward and grabbed him, looking aggrieved, "Brother Shen, is it because I have a bad sleeping posture that you dislike me? If so, then you go and rest, and I'll go to keep watch." As he said that, he walked towards the night watch team.
As soon as he took a step, he was pulled into the tent. Qi Yanxuan was grinning with triumph behind him. (Today's is Green Tea Pavilion)
midnight
Shen Yanqing couldn't fall asleep with his eyes open, and Qi Yanxuan was beside him, who kept leaning into his arms.
For so many days, Shen Yanqing raised his arms as if resigned to his fate and let the person get into his arms. He tightened his arms around the person in his arms and closed his eyes.
The moment he closed his eyes, a smile appeared on Qi Yanxuan's lips.
