Chapter 198
After cleaning the house, it was already dark. The food was the sweet potatoes left over from lunch. There was a lot of hay nearby, so it was another day of sand-baked sweet potatoes.
"If you eat any more, it will turn into a sweet potato." Xia En sat next to Chu Huaiqin, taking bites at a time, eating with difficulty.
Lin Zhinan nodded in agreement. She still felt the scent of sweet potatoes on her body.
"Think about how I was so hungry that I ate camel grass." Chu Huaiqin laughed. He also felt that after he returned, he might not dare to eat sweet potatoes for a while.
When they heard this, they suddenly felt that the sweet potato smelled delicious.
The wind and sand were so strong here that everyone even ate inside, making it impossible to play outside. Chu Huaiqin went back to bed early, but then the door rang. Xia En went to open it, and it was Liman and Andre.
Xia En's face was stern: "What's the matter?"
Liman glanced at Xia En, feeling that he wasn't welcoming. "I'm looking for Chu."
After saying that, he stepped sideways past Xia En and walked in. Andre smiled at Xia En and made Xia En have to move aside.
"Chu, this is so boring, let's fight!" Liman came in, walked up to Chu Huaiqin and rolled up his sleeves.
Chu Huaiqin: ...
"No, I want to rest." Chu Huaiqin's physical energy was consumed more than theirs in a day, and he didn't want to waste any time.
"It's still early, go have some fun." Liman didn't give in. He must have been thinking about the last fight with Chu.
"Don't mess with him, I'll fight you." Xia En stood in front of Chu Huaiqin.
The two men are about the same height, but because they are from different regions, Liman is stronger than Xia Entang, which makes many people in the live broadcast room worried. Among the participating teams, Chu Huaiqin is ranked first, and Liman is undoubtedly ranked second.
Liman curled his lips in disdain, "You?"
Xia En's anger surged up instantly, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "That's right."
Liman: "Let's go!"
He had wanted to beat this kid up for a long time. Since the global competition started, he has been following Chu like a little tail, which is annoying to look at.
Xia Entang looked at Li Man with a bad look. This guy always pestered his brother, and it was obvious that he had bad intentions.
Their eyes met in the air, igniting a raging fire.
The audience in the live broadcast room screamed in delight.
The lights in the room were dim, and the two men were standing too high for Chu Huaiqin to see their expressions. He didn't know they were competing with each other, so he yawned and crawled into the tent. He wanted to sleep.
The two men watched Chu Huaiqin go in, then turned and walked out.
"Enough is enough!"
The two walked to the door and heard Chu Huaiqin's voice. Turning back, the tent zipper was already pulled up. The words just now seemed like an illusion.
"Liman, come on, show Xia kid how powerful you are."
"Xia En, stand up for yourself. Don't embarrass your brother. Beat him up."
"Ahhh, I want blue light, I want blue light."
The wind and sand were strong, and the dust raised by the two men when they fought was so strong that even though the drone was facing Liman and Xia Entang, filming 360 degrees, the live broadcast room still couldn't see clearly. They could only see two vague figures through the wind and dust, but it didn't stop them from cheering for the two men.
“Huff, huff, huff!”
"Cough cough cough!"
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. The two people fighting had to breathe a lot of air. If they were not careful, they would choke on the dust. They immediately stopped fighting and coughed into their veils. Others also left, and even the director team could not stay.
Xia En returned to the house, took off his coat, and shook off the sand before entering the tent. He had used a tent to block the unknown liquid from the dead camel during the day, but it was no longer effective. Now he could only sleep with Chu Huaiqin.
"Are you hurt?" Chu Huaiqin asked vaguely with his eyes closed and half of his face under the blanket, seeming to be half awake.
"No." Since it was a single tent, Xia En was a little crowded inside, but he didn't mind. He crawled into the blanket and moved closer to Chu Huaiqin, carefully smelling the familiar scent.
Chu Huaiqin fell silent. He seemed to respond again, but then he seemed not to, and fell asleep.
The whistling sandstorm outside was getting stronger and stronger. The audience in the live broadcast room looked at this terrible sandstorm. Even though Xia Entropy and Li Man had left and there was only sandstorm in front of the camera, they didn't want to leave.
"I'm really going to be buried tonight!"
“I think so!”
“I want to see it!”
+1
The audience in the live broadcast room was very excited. At 10 o'clock in the evening, someone noticed that the ground was covered with a layer of sand, but it was still within the acceptable range. In the early morning, someone noticed that it seemed to have risen a little.
At three o'clock in the morning, the audience who had set the alarm clock woke up with a start. Looking at the layer of sand over the threshold, they were dumbfounded. It turned out that they would really be buried.
The next day, the contestants slept until they woke up naturally, crawled out of the tent and looked at the dim house. Chu Huaiqin tried to push down the door, but found that it was covered with sand. Looking out through the crack in the door, it was almost 1.78 meters high.
"Chu, can you come out?"
Andre's voice came from outside, it seemed that he was also trapped.
"I can't get out." Chu Huaiqin responded.
"Should we have slept outside last night?" Lin Zhinan thought for a moment and asked.
"Sleep forever." Xia Entang replied casually.
Lin Zhinan blushed and nodded.
Many people in the live broadcast room woke up early in the morning and laughed like crazy when they saw the house with only the roof and skylights exposed. They thought it was really buried.
"But what can I do?"
"The director team is toxic! Are they letting Chu Huaiqin and the others dig it out themselves?"
"It's impossible to dig it out. It depends on what Chu Huaiqin and the others do."
"Ah, Liman and the others started banging on the door."
"The door is made of wood. If we just cut off the top half of the wood, we can get out, right?"
"clever!"
"Andre and the others also started chopping."
"Why isn't Chu moving?"
"Didn't you expect Liman and the others' method?"
"No, I hope my brother hears the noise and cuts it down quickly. It looks very uncomfortable to bury it like this."
"Haha, come on Sam Nation, the Rolling Team is trapped, and after they get out, they'll set off first and leave him behind."
Chinese audience: Are you preparing for war? I'm here for you.
"Haha, our brother is so smart, how could he not know how to get out?"
"That's right, our brother has a better way. How could he be as barbaric as your country of Sam?"
"Yes, add your ID number."
The Chinese audience responded directly, but they were thinking in their hearts: Brother, please save my face.
The sound of the door being hacked was so loud that the Gun Gun Team could of course hear it. Xia En picked up the knife and looked at Chu Huaiqin.
"I figured if they could live there before, they couldn't have been chopping the door every day!" Chu Huaiqin's eyes darted around, finally settling on the window under the eaves. The window was quite large and high, two meters off the ground. "Did you see anything when we were cleaning the house?"
"No." Xia En replied.
"Xia En, let me step on it and see." Chu Huaiqin took off his boots, shook it with a towel, waited for Xia En to come over, spread it on his shoulders, and stepped on it.
"Be careful and hold on to the wall." Xia Entang warned worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Remember not to look up and close your eyes." Chu Huaiqin held on the wall. Because it was an adobe house, sand and dust would fall off from time to time due to friction.
Chu Huaiqin was 1.8 meters tall, and the ceiling height of the house was only 2.5 meters. Xia En just squatted on the ground, and Chu Huaiqin stepped on it and reached the window without him having to stand up.
This window is half a meter long and wide, with wooden sticks inserted into the two small holes above and below. Chu Huaiqin tried to twist one stick and lift it up, and the bottom of the stick was exposed. He could get another one out by tilting it slightly.
Chu Huaiqin pulled out all the wooden sticks one after another and asked Xia En to stand up. Soon, he climbed out.
Live broadcast room: ...
After Chu Huaiqin came out, he reached in and pulled Lin Zhinan out, followed by the luggage, and finally Xia Entang. The three members of the Rolling Team stood outside, and the Americans and Russians were still knocking on the door.
“Crack!”
Chu Huaiqin walked to the window on the roof of Liman's house and knocked.
Liman raised his head and looked at Chu Huaiqin as if he had seen a ghost, his jaw dropped.
Chu Huaiqin smiled and pointed to the window. Seeing Liman suddenly realize something, he turned and walked towards the Maozi team and told him to go through the window.
Soon, the other two teams came out.
The three teams had breakfast and continued on their journey.
Chinese audience: Haha!
Audience in the United States: How do I know that Liman is a vegetarian now?
Some viewers: It’s too harmonious, it’s not good.
It took the seven of them an entire morning to leave the soft sand area and enter the semi-sand Gobi Desert. This was their second time in the Gobi Desert. At noon, they had no food, and according to the map, they still had two hours to go to the food point.
Fortunately, the director team provided enough food at the previous food point. Even after three meals, there was still some left, so everyone filled their stomachs and continued on their journey.
Two hours later, the seven of them arrived at their food station. The food was packed in large, enormous boxes, indicating a large amount of food. The boxes were placed amidst the rubble, waiting for them to take them. However, no one was happy about it. Looking at the pyramid nestled behind the rubble, their faces slightly changed.
There were five pyramids of varying sizes scattered throughout the area. The three teams quickly pulled out their maps, and when they saw the directions pointing to the largest pyramid, their faces turned green.
"Brother, this can't be!" Lin Zhinan nervously grabbed Chu Huaiqin's arm.
"Go get the food first." Chu Huaiqin said in a deep voice.
The other two teams had the same idea. Each person took a portion and after opening it, they found that there was a lot of bread and bottled mineral water inside. After counting carefully, they found that it was enough food and water for four days. Now they could no longer deceive themselves.
The live broadcast room also exploded.
"So exciting?"
"What's going on?"
"Oh my God, you can't really go in there, ahhhh, someone will die."
"Are the production team going to such a big deal? Are they crazy?"
"It's poisonous, isn't it?..."
"I heard there are a lot of toxins and bacteria in there. It's unimaginable, absolutely unimaginable."
"These aren't five days of extremes, they're five days of life and death. Production crew, have you really figured this out?"
The audience in the live broadcast room was boiling with excitement, shouting: Are the production team really not human?
"In this final stand of survival in the wilderness, whoever can seize the scepter and sit on the Pharaoh's throne will be victorious, and he will be the king."
The drone carried the voices of the director team, which sounded passionate and exciting, but no one responded.
The three groups put down their things and walked to the entrance of the pyramid.
The gate was cut into a rock platform, with two pillars standing in front, engraved with strange patterns. The stone gate was heavy, and engraved with mysterious and ancient words that no one could understand.
"Whoever disturbs Pharaoh's sleep, Death will descend upon his head with outstretched wings."
The author has something to say: Happy Double Holidays. I was supposed to finish writing by the end of September, but it seems I will have to write until mid-October. However, the new article "I Conquered the Empire by Brewing Wine" will be published on October 5th.
"Whoever disturbs Pharaoh's sleep, death will descend upon his head with wings spread." From the Internet, the specific source cannot be found.
