Chapter 479: Arrive at Mingshayan and encounter again
Chapter 479 Arriving at Mingshayan and encountering it again
Supper is scones and vegetable jerky soup.
The cake is cooked, cooled and then reheated. It is crispy and fragrant, but the air is dry and cold, so it tastes even drier.
The vegetables and jerky in the vegetable jerky soup are dehydrated and easy to preserve. Just boil water in a pot and put it in. It is quick and easy to eat.
Everyone gathered in a circle in front of the fire, eating one bite of scones and one bite of soup.
Xu Zhao took the time to explain, "Eating in the desert is generally very simple. The food you bring is as easy to preserve as possible, and the requirements are kept to a minimum, as long as you can ensure the intake of energy and other nutrients."
This is mainly said to Jiang Lingxi.
He is a star after all. Even when the crew was filming in the desert before, there was a canteen chef and fresh vegetables, meat, bacon, dried fish and so on. The food was quite rich, much better than now.
There is also the previous live broadcast of "Survival". Although you need to be self-reliant, there is no shortage of wild vegetables and meat in the wilderness, which is more of a test of your hands-on ability.
But now in this desert, all kinds of conditions have taken a turn for the worse, and he is really afraid that Jiang Lingxi will not adapt.
Jiang Lingxi broke off a piece of cake like the others, took another sip of soup, swallowed it and nodded, "It tastes pretty good."
Although it's not as good as before, it's much better than spending a lifetime marching in a hurry, eating dry, tasteless cakes and drinking cold water.
For her, there is no need to adapt at all.
Xu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing the meal and arranging the groups for taking turns to keep watch, Xu Zhao got into the tent and saw that the third child who slept with him had packed his sleeping bag, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Captain, do you think Miss Jiang and the girl beside her named Chang Ning can really handle it at the speed we are traveling at today?"
Xu Zhao took off his shoes and got into the sleeping bag. When he heard Lao San's words, he thought of Jiang Lingxi's performance in "Survival".
He was able to accept this employment because he was hired by none other than Jiang Lingxi. If it had been any star in the entertainment industry, even a man, he would not have agreed.
“There’s no need to worry about this. And she didn’t hire us to protect her, but to share the force of the lawless elements.”
Although he had never actually fought against Jiang Lingxi, based on her performance in "Survival" and the girl's martial arts scenes he had watched on the set before, he had boldly speculated that Jiang Lingxi's skills were not weaker than his.
Coupled with the crossbow he helped Jiang Lingxi get, let's think about the accuracy of the opponent's archery in the "Survival" live broadcast.
If a fight really breaks out, the others will probably be gone before they even get close.
He is really not worried about Jiang Lingxi.
Lao San said softly "Oh", lay down and rested on his arms, relaxing into sleep.
In the next tent, Jiang Lingxi and Chang Ning lived together.
The conditions were simple, and water became extremely precious in the desert. The two of them barely wiped themselves with a towel dipped in some water, put on their pajamas and lay down.
Chang Ning couldn't sleep, and wanted to whisper something before going to bed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the breathing in his ears become longer.
This speed of sleeping is faster than that of her who has undergone special training!
Hurryly close your eyes and try to induce sleepiness.
At dawn, there was a crisp sound of a rice spoon hitting a metal pot outside the tent, and the entire small camp suddenly changed from quiet to lively.
Jiang Lingxi declined the team members' offer to help tidy up the tent, and she and Changning packed up the things and folded the tent up. The speed was not much slower than that of Xu Zhao's team members who were used to doing this.
When I wash up, I do it just like everyone else. I brush my teeth with a few sips of water and wipe my face with a towel dipped in water. Nothing special at all.
Lao San saw all this in his eyes, and he completely agreed with his captain's words.
This Miss Jiang is really not pretentious at all. He has been a celebrity bodyguard several times before. Compared with those celebrities, this one really doesn't look like a star at all.
It took less than half an hour from getting up to breaking camp and leaving. Even Xu Zhao didn't expect it to be so fast. After getting in the car, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Lingxi, who was lying faceless in the back seat, "We set off today faster than I expected. It will take more than half an hour and should be 30 to 50 miles longer than expected.”
Jiang Lingxi's lips curved up, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
Hurrying on the road is boring at any time, not to mention that the endless yellow sand Gobi Desert is still outside the car window. The snow that fell before has almost all melted, and the snow water has long penetrated to the surface.
At night, the convoy was lucky enough to find a campsite with some remaining snow.
It is no exaggeration to say that everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw the snow. Although there is no water shortage yet, strictly speaking, this snow water cannot be drunk, but it can be used to wipe the body and soak the feet after it is heated.
The remaining snow was not wasted, it was melted and put into empty containers before leaving.
Jiang Lingxi clicked on the electronic map in his hand.
“If today goes as smoothly as yesterday, we will arrive at Mingshayan in the evening.”
As soon as he said these words, the atmosphere in the car suddenly shook.
"hope everything is fine!"
But I probably said too much. At noon, a car accidentally fell into a sand pit.
At this distance, every car in the team cannot give up.
A few people were driving in front, and the remaining people were busy helping push the car behind.
Even Jiang Lingxi didn't look around and joined the team pushing the cart.
The guys worked hard for more than half an hour, and finally rescued the car with half of its body stuck in the sand pit and being rolled in by the flowing sand.
After such an incident, Jiang Lingxi clearly felt that the members of Xu Zhao's team were much closer to her. Although they were still called Miss Jiang, they were obviously not as polite as before, but they were still a little bit polite. Even though we are estranged, arriving can be considered an unexpected blessing.
However, due to such a delay, we were originally scheduled to arrive at Mingshayan in the evening, but we definitely couldn't do it now.
By evening it was getting dark, and as expected, there was still nearly thirty miles to go.
The walkie-talkie at Xu Zhao's hand came from the questions from the team members behind him.
“Captain, do you want to keep going?”
Xu Zhao looked at Jiang Lingxi through the rearview mirror.
“Continue and stop when you reach Mingshayan.”
The female voice came from the intercom. Everyone paused and responded in unison, "Roger."
Wait until the sun completely drops below the horizon and the bright moon rises high, turn on the front and rear lights of the car and continue driving in the direction of Mingshayan.
Half an hour later.
Xu Zhao stepped on the brakes.
Without his reminding, several people in the car also saw the light coming from not far ahead.
It's not the silvery glow of the moon. You can clearly see that the bright light is light, and the wattage is not low.
“There is a small valley ahead. It seems that someone has been stationed in advance. It is probably from Chongyin…”
“Drive over and have a look.”
The people stationed in the small valley were having dinner. Yin Chong heard the noise coming from outside in the tent. He looked at Chong Shi who was sitting opposite and stood up and walked out.
Looking up, I saw a row of five cars parked quietly above the valley, their lights slowly extinguishing.
Everyone in charge of security in the camp has put down their jobs and picked up weapons to aim at the enemy.
He squinted his eyes and saw the door of the car parked in the middle open, and a familiar figure stepped out.
Even though he was pointed at by so many weapons, the man still looked towards him indifferently. There was no fear in his eyes, only calmness.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Put your weapons away, we are acquaintances."
At least he had no intention of becoming an enemy of Jiang Lingxi until Mingshayan opened again.
Let’s talk about it after we enter the ruins.
