Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

I saw a bright light rising in the air. Anyone familiar with it would know what it was, a signal flare.

"Look, there's a flare there." Lao Gao excitedly pointed at the light in the distance and shouted.

"Quickly take out the compass to confirm the direction."

After walking aimlessly and like a headless fly for so long, he suddenly saw a guiding signal flare. Xie Yuchen reminded Lao Gao to quickly take out the compass, otherwise if the signal flare disappears, he will be unable to find the direction just like before.

Fortunately, Lao Gao was not too stupid to be hopeless, so he immediately turned on the compass to check the specific direction.

"125 degrees southeast..."

Once you have determined your direction, as long as you follow the direction pointed by the compass, you shouldn't go wrong.

But because Lao Gao only focused on checking the compass and ignored the [Tomb Robbery Notes] held under his arm, when he loudly shouted the location of the signal flare, no one paid attention, and [Tomb Robbery Notes] was blown away by the strong wind.

"Ah! My treasure, my secret book..." Lao Gao subconsciously threw away the compass in his hand and followed the [Tomb Raider Notes] regardless.

It's just that the wind and sand are so big and the weight of a book is so small. It's not like a balloon flying in the wind. It's strange that he can catch up.

Jie Yuchen and Black Glasses watched this scene speechlessly. They shouted several times but got no response. They could only watch Lao Gao's back walking further and further away, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

You can't stop someone who wants to die. As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a devil to die with good words.

He dared to wander around in the face of such a natural disaster, and the compass was thrown away by himself. Was he seeking death?

Black Glasses picked up the compass: "Ignore him, let's go find the others first."

Jie Yuchen glanced at the direction where Lao Gao disappeared, nodded helplessly, and followed the direction pointed by the compass just now.

The two of them moved slowly against the wind and sand in the direction where the previous signal flare had been raised. Perhaps it was due to the headwind. In addition, they were walking on the sand. It felt like they had more than ten kilograms of sandbags tied to their feet. It could be said that it was difficult to walk.

But as time slowly passed, it seemed that the resistance was getting smaller and smaller. After a quick look, I realized that it was the blast wind that had become smaller.

The wind and sand are lessened, which is a good thing for them, as they don't have to struggle anymore. The sky that had darkened before gradually returned to its previous clear state, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky.

Both Xie Yuchen and Hei Jingyan were in good physical condition. They had walked for so long against the wind and sand. They were tired, but they still had to persevere. In addition, the wind and sand had basically stopped now, making it easier to move.

But the two of them didn't dare to be careless. After all, there were quicksand areas in many places in the desert, so it was better to be careful.

The two of them walked in the direction like this, looking at the compass from time to time to determine the direction. Time passed like this, and several hours passed, but they never saw any vehicles or people.

This only shows that they are still far away from the signal flare, so they look at each other helplessly. There is no choice but to keep moving forward.

...

On Wu Xie's side, after the wind and sand gradually stopped, Aning fired a signal bomb every half hour.

After the wind and sand gradually became smaller, the dark sky also became brighter. The signal flares at this time could probably be seen no matter how far away they were, and it was only a matter of time before they found them.

After firing four more signal bombs, Aning looked at the yellow desert all around and said his proposal.

"Let's take a look around first to see if we can find a place to take shelter from the wind. After all, no one knows whether there will be a sandstorm soon."

"And we need to find other teammates back, and we also need a relatively safe place to rest."

Wu Xie knew that the sandstorm had passed and there would be no new sandstorms in the future, but he was too lazy to say it, not to mention whether anyone would believe it, and it would be troublesome to explain.

But no matter what, just like Aning said, it is necessary to find a safe haven to rest.

As for the little brother, he will basically not express his opinion unless there is something important. As long as he is silent, it means that he has no opinion.

"Okay, I have no objection, but we can't go too far, otherwise the people who come after the signal flares may not be able to find us again."

"Well, you are right. After we find a shelter from the wind, we will split up and go out to look for the lost people."

Aning agreed with Wu Xie's statement, so he tied a flare gun with several flares to the door handle of their previous car.

If people looking for flares can't find them, they will know what to do when they see the flare gun.

"Let's go!"

As he said that, Wu Xie and the other three began to slowly search outside, centered around their previous car. Not to mention, we actually found a place for them to take shelter from the wind a kilometer or two away.

It was a basin dune, like a huge basin, like a nest suddenly sunken into the flat ground. If you rest in such a place, you will be blocked by sand dune walls as high as a person on all sides, even if there is a sandstorm.

"Now that we have found a place to rest, let's spread out to find other people. We must find the fixed master Zhuoma..."

After all, without her, we don’t know where we would go next.

Of course Wu Xie knew what Aning was saying. He wanted to say it was you who couldn't do it, not me, but he was too lazy to talk to her about it.

"Let's do this! You stay here and wait, my little brother and I will go and take a look. If no one stays here, and if the people who come here see that there is no one else here. I'm afraid they will go to other places again. When the time comes, It’s even more troublesome to find someone else!”

Aning wanted to refute, but he also felt that Wu Xie's words were reasonable, so he could only agree with him and stay here waiting for others to show up.

She repeatedly asked Wu Xie to find the destined master Zhuoma. After all, they would be in trouble without a guide to lead the way in a desert area with unknown terrain and changeable terrain.
