Chapter 288: Can’t sit still and wait for death, on the way to the sandstorm area



Ye Zhiqiu led Comrade Wang to the place where the wolves were released. Of course, he had already collected the rabbits and put them in a sack, so he could take them back with him when the time came.

Half an hour later, Lao Wang looked at the wolves placed everywhere and said excitedly, "Comrade, you are amazing! Your shooting skills are so accurate!"

Ye Zhiqiu felt a little guilty, but his usual boasting skills kicked in. He started bragging about how calm he was and how he had saved most of the wolves!

The story of how the remaining wolves were defeated and fled was described vividly, leaving Old Wang stunned. He praised him for a long time, providing a lot of emotional value!

The two men began to carry the wolves together. After about an hour of work, a large group of people came over. The two men waved and shouted, giving them directions.

The people who rushed over praised Ye Zhiqiu again, and then they became very motivated. Each of them carried a wolf on his back, and even the wild vegetables that Ye Zhiqiu dug were taken over by others!

As a great contributor, how could he be allowed to do this kind of work? If there were enough manpower, everyone would have wanted to carry him back to the base!

So Ye Zhiqiu carried the roasted hare on his back and walked in front, leading the way, followed by a large group of people carrying wolves on their backs.

The journey back was actually quite difficult! Everyone had been starving since yesterday, and we had thought the food would arrive today. However, the sandstorm didn't appear here, but it did appear along the way.

They had just had a bowl of wild vegetable soup this morning, and it was already two in the afternoon. They were so hungry that their hands and feet were weak, relying solely on willpower to carry the wolf back to the base.

Ye Zhiqiu was fine. When he came out, he ate the things stored in the space, so he was not hungry.

But everyone didn't let him, the hero, take action, so he had no choice. Fortunately, there were seven or eight more people, and everyone took turns. At 4:30, they returned to the vicinity of the base.

When the patrolling guards discovered this, they called for help to take over the task of moving the wolves from the people who had collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion. Everyone spontaneously helped them back to the camp.

The main reason was that they were severely dehydrated. After drinking water, everyone regained their spirits and started to brag about Ye Zhiqiu's marksmanship to those who asked them.

So, we had a meal of wild vegetable soup with meat in the evening. Although it had a strong fishy smell, no one disliked it.

Ye Zhiqiu secretly brought back the roasted rabbit and distributed it to the people in the second company.

There was no other way. He also wanted to divide it among everyone in the Third Battalion, but there were more than 500 people in the Third Battalion. It was simply impossible!

Fang Wenhai looked at the roasted rabbit in front of him and asked excitedly in a low voice, "Xiao Ye, where did you get this? You killed so many wolves, and you still got a roasted rabbit?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment, then lied and explained, "I first encountered some wild rabbits, so I killed them.

But then I thought, if we bring this rabbit back, with so many people in the base, we won’t even be able to taste it, so I simply killed it and roasted it.

It might be the smell of blood from killing rabbits that attracted the wolves. I'm lucky to have encountered so many wolves."

"You better be careful next time, little brat! You're lucky this time. If a wolf gets close to you, even a gun might not be of any use!"

"Yes, Xiaoye must pay attention to safety!"

Ye Zhiqiu knew that they all cared about him, so he naturally didn't say anything unhappy. Everyone shared the rabbit together.

Shuanzi touched his stomach and sighed, "I don't know when the sandstorm will stop. Although I have wolf meat and wild vegetable soup to last me through today, what should I do tomorrow..."

Ye Zhiqiu lit a cigarette. With supplies so scarce here, he could only smoke a few cigarettes a day. If he smoked freely, the dozen or so cartons he brought would have been gone long ago.

There is no such thing as giving away cigarettes. Everyone is short of these things, and Ye Zhiqiu is not willing to be so generous as to give cigarettes to his brothers all day long.

Even if there is some inventory in the space, it’s not much!

Everyone quickly lay down to rest. Falling asleep early reduced energy consumption. Without anything to do, no one wanted to move while lying down.

The next day, Ye Zhiqiu went out to dig wild vegetables again. This time, Ye Zhiqiu did not hunt any prey, but just brought back a sack of wild vegetables.

If he had prey every day, that would be really wrong!

But with no food left, relying solely on wild vegetables was no longer enough. They couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so the commander-in-chief began to recruit personnel. He was worried that something might have happened to the camel transport team, so he wanted to use the fuel reserves and transport personnel to investigate the sandstorm situation.

Ye Zhiqiu was selected to be a member of the vehicle crew!

He pointed at himself in surprise and asked in confusion, "Me? No, I can't drive, so why did you assign me this position?"

"Silly boy, you just defeated a wolf pack by yourself, and left thirty-seven wolves behind! With your achievements, it would be safer to bring you along!"

So that's how it is. Ye Zhiqiu was a little amused and confused. How could his marksmanship be so good?

But it didn't matter, we just had to go with the car. Anyway, the team of twenty people, including two cars and drivers, set off like this.

The Gobi Desert lacks any scenery to speak of, with only the monotonous traces of time. The sand dunes in the distance and the age-worn stones nearby all speak of a desolate, abandoned place.

The eight people in the car were silent. They didn't know each other and had no desire to talk.

Ye Zhiqiu sat in the back of the car, just looking outside quietly. Camel thorn is a common green color in the Gobi Desert. As for other wild vegetables, he had rarely seen them.

But he caught a glimpse of a few black spots in his peripheral vision and immediately shouted, "Stop! Stop! Stop now!"

The people in the car didn't know what was happening, but they also helped to shout to the driver to stop, and the car slowly stopped.

Ye Zhiqiu jumped out of the car with his hands, and everyone followed him, and the cars behind also stopped.

He kept staring into the distance and stretched out his hand to the driver, saying, "Quick! Give me the binoculars!"

The driver frowned and was about to scold him, but someone in the car said to him, "Quick, he's Ye Zhiqiu, the man who killed thirty-seven wolves. He might have discovered something. Give him the binoculars!"

Hearing this, the driver's expression changed and he went back excitedly to get the binoculars.

Speaking of which, because he killed so many wolves, many people now know Ye Zhiqiu's name, so the driver would also behave like this.

After taking the telescope, Ye Zhiqiu saw clearly this time that those black dots in the distance were actually black wild donkeys!

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight... thirteen, fourteen! Great! Fourteen wild donkeys! Look everyone, it's a herd of fourteen wild donkeys!"

A group of people were originally staring at Ye Zhiqiu, and when they heard his words, everyone became excited!

They immediately took the telescope and saw a group of wild donkeys in the distance.

Ye Zhiqiu quickly said to everyone, "We don't know the situation of the sand dunes here, so we can't drive over there and take the risk. So let's line up and run over there, one person three meters apart!"

Every other person will carry a rescue rope. If you encounter quicksand, don't struggle. Let your teammates throw the rope to rescue you. Do you understand?"
