Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

The black blind man coughed twice and stood at the front of the car and fired a flare into the sky. He looked around hoping to find other vehicles.

Zhang Qiling pulled out the black gold ancient sword and thrust it into the sand. The blind man said, "The visibility is too low. They probably won't be able to see the signal flare, so we have to find a shelter first when the sand covers the guard of the ancient sword."

The black blind man patted Tan Yuchen, who had a bad expression next to him, and said loudly: "Don't worry, old Tan. Mr. Hua'er is very capable. We will go look for him when the sandstorm passes."

"Yes." Tan Yuchen responded and agreed to Heixiazi's proposal.

Now this is all they can do. They have to wait for the wind and sand to pass and find a stronghold before going out to look for people. Otherwise, if they are looking for people in a desert with no clear direction, they may get lost before they find them.

The four of them stood there and waited for a long time. The sand brought by the wind had already covered their gauntlets. The black blind man fired the signal flare into the air again and sighed as he looked at the two standing still.

The only good thing about them now is that the wind and sand have gradually stopped, but judging from the sky, it is estimated that there will be a bigger sandstorm soon.

"What do you mean about us?" asked the black blind man.

"Let's go first." Qin Yuchen said as he looked at the extinguished signal flares in the sky.

"Then what if they come here?" A Ning asked.

"I fixed the flare gun here. They will know we are nearby when they come." Black Blind Man bolted the flare gun in his hand to the rearview mirror and said, "Let's find the stronghold first, and then try to find it." people."

Ah Ning: "Okay."

Zhang Qiling pulled out the ancient black gold sword and put it into its sheath, then nodded to Aning: "Let's go."

The four of them walked around and finally found a leeward slope that was particularly suitable for camping. Qin Yuchen took out a compass and determined the direction with Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling said, "Let's find someone."

The black blind man nodded: "Together."

"I'll go as well."

The black blind man stopped A Ning from taking a step forward: "Boss, just wait here. No one is here to guard you. What if someone comes looking for you?"

"Then when the time comes, we will really have to find a few more and then find a few more."

"..." Ah Ning had this idea in her mind, so she said without hesitation: "Then we must find the destined master Zhuoma."

"Copy that." The black blind man took a few steps to catch up with Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling who were walking a few steps away. He turned his back to Aning and raised his hand in an OK sign.

On Jie Yuchen and Wuxie's side,

Lao Gao, the only one in their team who had a compass, had not yet stood firm when he got off the bus, because the wind and sand blew the book in his hand away, so he hurriedly looked for his book.

So they had to wait there for a few minutes and then followed the flare.

The two walked a long way according to the direction of the signal flare. The sun at noon in the desert was very scorching. Wu Xie was now so tired that he felt like he was carrying fifty kilograms. He wished he could use both hands and feet together.

Wuxie stopped and said, "Let's take a rest."

"There is bad news." Jie Yuchen sighed, raised his hand to block the sun, and looked at the endless desert and said, "We haven't seen the flare for a long time."

"This proves that either we are off track or they have moved on."

Wuxie stood behind Jie Yuchen and said instead of answering his words: "I do have good news."

"what?"

"Wet quicksand..." Wuxie pointed at the feet of the two of them.

Jie Yuchen: "..."

Jie Yuchen looked down and saw that a small vortex had formed under their feet, and their shoes were completely covered by wet quicksand.

Jie Yuchen held down the panicked Wu Xie to keep him still. He took a deep breath, pointed at the junction of wet and dry areas and said, "Unload the backpack first, let's lie down and move up slowly."

"Okay!" Wuxie did not dare to hesitate, took off his backpack and threw it to a dry place outside the quicksand, and then lay down together with Xie Yuchen.

This time, it was as they wished. They kept pushing up with both hands and feet at the same time. After a lot of effort, they finally got out of the wet quicksand.

After Wuxie broke away, he quickly moved back a certain distance and lay down flat after completely leaving the quicksand.

He faced the sky, gasped for air, and said with a smile: "It's so exciting."

"Yes." Jie Yuchen stood up, put on his backpack and came to Wu Xie, lowered his eyes and stretched out his hand to Wu Xie and said,

"We can't rest here. We can't find them now, but we have to find a shelter from the wind, otherwise we may freeze to death at night."

"Hey." Wuxie sat up weakly, sighed and stood up with strength, and replied in a drawled voice, "Okay-"

-

When Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling found Jie Yuchen and Wuxie, they had fallen into coma and fell to the ground.

Qin Yuchen stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to touch Jie Yuchen's forehead, and gave him some water: "I have a fever."

"Wuxie is fine." Zhang Qiling also fed Wuxie some water and replied.

"Go back first." Qin Yuchen helped Xie Yuchen up, put his hat on, and carried him on his back.

"it is good."

……

The two were moving very fast, and Wuxie woke up when they were approaching the camp.

"Bro?"

Wu Xie opened his eyes in a daze, and what came into view was the familiar hood. He called out in a muffled voice. Zhang Qiling only nodded slightly when he heard the voice as a reply.

"Where's the little flower?" Wuxie asked.

"Chen carries it on his back," Zhang Qiling said.

"Oh." Wuxie moved and asked someone to put him down, "Then put me down first."

Zhang Qiling waited until Wuxie stood firm before taking out the water and handing it to him.

Qin Yuchen was a few steps behind the two of them and did not speed up when he saw them stop.
