Flash marriage to the underworld boss, the queen of metaphysics is sweet and wild

The convoy did not dare to stop until it was confirmed that the sandstorm could not affect them at all. After experiencing a thrilling escape, everyone got out of the car with the joy of surviving the disaster, but after all, it was only early in the morning, and after the joy, everyone looked tired.

Professor Cheng and the leader of the institute each calmed down the staff and asked them to get in the car and rest before dawn.

At that time, the guide was standing at a slightly higher place, distinguishing the terrain.

Wen Qi walked over without saying a word. When the guide looked over, she asked, "Is it too far?"

The young guide pursed his lips slightly, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never been to this place."

Wen Qi was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Are we lost?"

The guide nodded calmly, "But it doesn't matter. In the worst case, we can go back the way we came and correct our position before setting off again."

Wen Qi frowned slightly, turned around and left. It is indeed possible to return the same way, but the gas is limited, and I don’t know if I can afford the extra consumption.

"Professor Cheng." Wen Qi walked over and asked in a low voice, "Can the convoy's gasoline still last until we can return the same way and reach the ancient city smoothly?"

"Return the same way?" Professor Cheng immediately understood what she meant, and he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy after thinking about it, "It's difficult. We did bring some extra gasoline when we set off, but there were too many equipments and the amount of gasoline exceeded our estimate. I gave up some.”

He sighed heavily, "Who thought we would encounter a sandstorm."

Wen Qi was confused. She originally thought that if there was not enough gasoline, there would be a risk of breaking down on the way back. How could she listen to the professor and even bother to reach the ancient city?

Her eyes flashed and she asked: "If you go back, will you take a plane?"

Professor Cheng: "Of course, I drove into the desert this time because I didn't know the environment of the ancient city, so I went directly there for fear of not finding a suitable place to land."

Wen Qi nodded to express her understanding and continued to ask: "Is the ancient city in the northwest?"

Professor Cheng nodded again. He looked up at the dim sky and sighed, "We can only wait for the sun to come out before we can identify the direction."

"No need." Wen Qi said, "I'll show you the way. We'll set off now and wait until we reach a place the guide is familiar with before stopping to rest. This is a no-man's land among no-man's lands. Not even the guide has been there before. Anbu Safety is still unknown, so it’s better to leave as soon as possible.”

Professor Cheng pondered for two seconds and nodded in response.

As a result, the drivers who had just rested for a short time were called up again. Each of them drank a large cup of coffee, cheered up and continued on the road.

Wen Qi calculated and gave instructions while avoiding a huge quicksand pit.

After passing the quicksand pit, the guide's voice suddenly rang over the intercom, "I know this place. There is a dilapidated stone temple further on. We can rest there."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In order to rest as soon as possible, the speed of the team was a little faster.

By the time the convoy arrived at the Stone Temple, the sky was getting a little brighter.

Everyone drove the car to the entrance of the stone temple and blocked the air leakage in the dilapidated area. Then, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, they just found a corner to lean against the wall and fell asleep. This night was too stressful.

There were only a few girls, one person per car, lying in the back seat with great peace of mind, and soon fell asleep.

Wen Qi found the guide again, "Isn't it closer to the ancient city from here than returning to the starting point?"

The guide laughed and said, "It is indeed closer, which saves a lot of time."

Wen Qi felt relieved, found a place to sit down and fell asleep - it was daytime now, and there was no need to watch the night.

When I woke up, it was already noon. Wen Qi woke up from the heat. Although the place she was sitting was in a corner, the sun was just below her waist. She didn't know how long she had been in the sun, and her legs felt a little painful.

Wen Qi sighed, hid in the shadows, rubbed her legs, then got up and went to the car to get her backpack, pried open the can and started eating. The canned beef was a bit greasy to eat cold, but she was too hungry.

Most of the people in the camp were up and setting up a fire to cook noodles. After Wen Qi finished eating the can, she stood by the pot with a bowl and waited.

"Boss." Shi Minghuai came over, "There was something wrong with the sandstorm last night."

Wen Qi responded casually, still staring at the noodle pot.

Shi Minghuai continued: "We checked the weather before coming here, and there was no forecast of sandstorms at all."

"Is it necessary to give a warning about a sandstorm in no man's land?" Wen Qi asked nonchalantly.

Shi Minghuai choked, what he said...is true, is he really too worried? However, he seemed to have really seen a shadow in the sandstorm last night. He glanced at Wen Qi hesitantly, but he didn't say anything more. The danger had passed.

Wen Qi ate two bowls of noodles and put down her bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction. She was finally full, and the feeling of being hungry was really uncomfortable.

After everyone had eaten, the team packed up and hit the road again. According to the guide, if there are no accidents, they can reach the ancient city at night.

After that, the journey was smooth, even though the sandstorm had just passed, there was not even a breath of wind in the desert, and it was extremely hot. But in order to save gasoline, I dare not turn on the air conditioner in the car. Sitting in it feels like a steamer, and the small rechargeable fan I carry with me doesn't work either. It's simply miserable.

In the end, Wen Qi used the ice spell to get a bunch of ice cubes, packed them and placed them in front of the fan, and finally there was some coolness in the car.

When the sun went down and the temperature in the desert dropped again, everyone put on their jackets again.

Because they had to rush to the ancient city tonight, the convoy did not stop for dinner, so everyone just ate canned bread in the car.

It wasn't until around eight o'clock in the evening that the guide's voice came from the intercom again, "Everyone, you can already see the shadow of the ancient city. We will be there soon."

Everyone was in high spirits and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Wen Qi leaned out of the car window and took a look. Sure enough, she saw a mass of shadows in front of her, but... wasn't it a city? Why so short?

Within ten minutes, the motorcade stopped in front of the ancient city. As the distance got closer, Wen Qi suddenly realized that it was half buried in the sand. She looked around and saw that this should be where the city wall was. They should be entering the city directly from the city gate, right?

Sure enough, the convoy started moving slowly again, following the lead car around the edge of the city wall, and soon reached the city gate.

The city gate was opened. The door panels were made of wood. They were now weathered and decayed. They stood on both sides of the city wall, as if they would fall down at any time.

The convoy cautiously drove into the ancient city.

Unexpectedly, there is not much sand in the ancient city, and the roads paved with stone can even be called clean. Moreover, the roads in the city are surprisingly wide, so it is no problem to drive two cars side by side.

Most of the buildings in the ancient city are stone houses, mostly single small houses with flat roofs, and there are also a few two-story houses. Well... maybe there were three or four-story houses in the past, but now they have all collapsed.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them! Sandstorms won’t spoil you!

After driving around for a while, they returned to the square in the center of the city, where everyone planned to set up camp. Although the stone house looks quite solid, they don't want to buy it for ten thousand just to be safe. The most important thing is that they are afraid that there are cultural relics inside and they will be damaged.

As for how to set up camp, they actually brought a spare tent and tied it to the roof of the car.

Just like the previous tents, there were still four people per tent. There happened to be one extra tent that only two people could live in, and it was picked up by Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling.

Mainly because the senior didn't want to live with them, so the other girl went with them. After all, they were good classmates.

As soon as the tent and luggage were set up, Professor Cheng came over, "Wen Qi, after walking around for a long time, did you notice anything unusual?"

Wen Qi shook her head, "Not yet. Professor, you can just dig it out as normal tomorrow. If there are any problems, we will solve them."

Professor Cheng felt a little relieved. He was really frightened when he excavated the ancient tomb last time and was afraid that something would go wrong. He nodded and said: "Thank you for the hard work, go to bed early."

There are no entertainment facilities in the desert, and everyone has to get up early to work tomorrow. So, after washing up a little, everyone went into the tent to rest.

Wen Qi took her mobile phone and went to a place a little further away alone to call Feng Ce - knowing that the signal in the desert was not good, Feng Ce specially prepared a satellite phone for her. Feng's new product was still in the testing stage. She was kind of helpful.
