Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Yuemin and his team walked in the desert for another three days and finally walked out of the desert. Yes, you read that right, they walked out of the desert.

Zhong Yuemin himself found it incredible that the middle of the desert was not a desert. Who would have dared to believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes?

The suddenly clear scene in front of them surprised everyone. They originally thought that the end of the desert was still endless yellow sand, but what appeared before them was a vast Gobi Desert. This Gobi Desert was vast and boundless, with scarce sand, replaced by exposed brown rocks.

These brown gravels are high or low, scattered in an orderly manner, forming a series of unique landscapes. Some places are as flat as a mirror, while others are tens of meters high. Even further away, Zhong Yuemin saw higher piles of rocks, like natural castles in the Gobi Desert.

The group walked to the edge of the Gobi Desert and found a flat place to sit down and rest. In the past ten days, they had experienced countless sandstorms and dangers, and everyone's face was full of fatigue and vicissitudes. But at this moment, when they saw this brand new scene, everyone felt much more relaxed.

"Finally we are out of this damn desert." Fatty Wang sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. Along the way, he and Zheng Tong became good friends, supporting each other and overcoming many difficulties together.

Zheng Tong also sat on the ground and patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder. "Yes, I'm exhausted." He smiled bitterly and shook his head, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

Tang Wan'er sat aside, watching the two of them, her eyes full of emotion. She gently stroked Dabai's fur and said softly, "Dabai, thank you. Without you, we might still be lost in the desert." Dabai seemed to understand her words and gently wagged his tail.

Zhong Yuemin stood on a high place, looking out over the vast Gobi Desert. He knew that their journey was far from over, but at the moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief and ease. He took a deep breath and said to everyone, "Let's take a break first. When you have recovered your strength, we will continue on our way."

Ning Wei came over and said to Zhong Yuemin, "Captain, I will lead the team to explore the road ahead and see if there is any water source. We are running low on fresh water and need to replenish it in time."

Zhong Yuemin nodded. He was not too worried about the water problem because he had plenty of it in his space. But now there were so many people around, he would not take it out unless it was absolutely necessary. "Be careful, pay attention to safety."

"I know, Captain."

Fatty Wang has always been a person who can't sit still. When he saw Ning Wei setting out to find water, he jumped up from the ground as if there was a spring under his butt. "Ning Wei, don't be in a hurry to leave! Wait for your fat brother, I'm going with you. Hey, Zheng Tong, don't just stand there like an idiot, come out for a walk with me, fat brother."

Zheng Tong couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard that, but a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Come on, you still want me to call you brother? In terms of seniority, you should be the one calling me brother." Having said that, he finally stood up slowly and caught up with Fatty Wang.

The two of them walked along the way, laughing and joking happily. The laughter slowly dissipated into the air as they walked farther and farther away.

Zhong Yuemin stared at the direction they left quietly, with a barely perceptible worry in his eyes. He knew very well that Fatty Wang was impatient and impulsive, and although Zheng Tong was more stable than him, he was also very curious. This time they went together to explore the path, and they really hoped that there would be no complications...

In the scorching Gobi Desert, the sun scorched the earth mercilessly, and every grain of sand seemed to be burned hot. Zhong Yuemin sat under a huge rock, and the sweat on his forehead kept dripping like beads that had broken off the string.

Ning Wei and his team have been looking for water for more than three hours and have not returned yet. Zhong Yuemin looked at the endless Gobi Desert in front of him and couldn't help feeling a sense of inexplicable worry in his heart.

"Guide Saval, do you really know nothing about this place?" Zhong Yuemin confirmed again with Saval beside him.

Savar's eyes revealed an innate wildness and sharpness. He shook his head and answered in a slightly hoarse voice, "I am not familiar with this Gobi Desert and have never set foot here before."

Zhong Yuemin frowned, feeling even more anxious. He turned to look at Professor Zhang, an archaeologist in his 50s who also looked a little anxious.

Professor Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and suggested, "Xiao Zhong, we have rested enough. I think we should continue on our way and see if we can run into Xiao Zheng and the others."

Zhong Yuemin nodded and stood up. He looked around and saw that there were no other creatures in the Gobi Desert except for them. The sky in the distance was dyed golden by the sun, like a golden ocean. He took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

"Everyone, get ready. Let's go." Zhong Yuemin shouted loudly. Everyone stood up, sorted out their equipment, and prepared to move on.

After walking for an hour, Zhong Yuemin and his team had already entered the Gobi Desert.

At this moment, a familiar figure came running towards me - Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong's face was filled with anxiety. When he saw Zhong Yuemin, he shouted breathlessly, "Yuemin, Yuemin!"

As soon as Zhong Yuemin saw Zheng Tong's appearance, he had a bad feeling in his heart. "Zheng Tong, what's wrong? Why are you alone here? Where are the others?" he asked anxiously.

Zheng Tong tried to calm his breathing and said quickly, "We found a water source, but there were people there, and they were foreigners. We tried to communicate with them, but we couldn't communicate in the same language, so we had a conflict. There were too many people on the other side, and Ning Wei asked me to inform you."

After Professor Zhang heard this, he quickly walked over. "Xiao Zheng, do you know who the other party is?"

Zheng Tong shook his head. "Professor Zhang, I don't know. Their clothes and equipment are very advanced. They look like a professional expedition team or mercenaries."

"How many people are there?" Professor Zhang asked.

"There are so many that I can't even count them." A trace of fear flashed in Zheng Tong's eyes.

Zhong Yuemin knew the urgency of the situation. He was worried that Ning Wei and his team would suffer, so he said to Professor Zhang, "Professor Zhang, I'll go ahead and take a look at the situation."

Professor Zhang nodded. "Xiao Zhong, be careful. Do you want to bring more people with you?"

"No, I can do it myself." Zhong Yuemin shook his head and then shouted, "Dabai, follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yuemin turned around, leaving a long shadow on the sand. Dabai followed him without hesitation.

Before everyone could react, Zhong Yuemin and Dabai had already disappeared from sight. Professor Zhang looked at their receding backs, with a hint of worry in his eyes. He knew that Zhong Yuemin was a responsible young man, but facing an unknown enemy, he was still a little worried.

Several thousand meters away, Ning Wei, Fatty Wang and others were seen in a melee, fighting a group of foreigners. Seeing that Ning Wei was outnumbered and there were several women among them, the foreigners became malicious and flirted with them in a frivolous manner.

"Hey, girls, how about playing with us? We really like your oriental beauties." The leader, a blond and blue-eyed foreigner, spoke in stiff Chinese and shouted at Ning Wei and the others with a grin.

Ning Wei frowned, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He swung his fist fiercely, hitting the blond foreigner's nose accurately, and blood spurted out instantly. The battle was about to break out, and both sides fought with fists and feet, and a fierce battle broke out.

At this moment, two foreigners, a man and a woman, came over here. When the woman saw Ning Wei clearly, she was stunned and shouted loudly, "Stop!"

Hearing this shout, both sides stopped fighting.

After both sides dispersed, the woman quickly walked up to Ning Wei and asked anxiously, "Ning Wei, why is it you?"

Ning Wei was also a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "Ms. Avril?"

"Ning Wei, since you are here, has Zhong Yuemin come too? Where is he?" Avril asked impatiently.

Ning Wei was about to explain when suddenly, a long wolf howl broke through the night sky and echoed in the quiet valley. This wolf howl was like the beating of a war drum, stirring up the anxiety and expectations hidden in people's hearts.

Fatty Wang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he shouted excitedly, "It's Dabai! Brother Zhong is here!"

Everyone looked over and saw a black shadow rushing towards them like lightning, followed closely by a nimble white wolf. The speed of the wolf-man duo was astonishingly fast, as if they were running at lightning speed, and they were in front of everyone in an instant.

Zhong Yuemin stopped, panting slightly, and looked around the crowd. When he saw Avril, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Avril, why are you here?"

Avril smiled slightly and said softly, "Zhong Yuemin, I didn't expect to see you here."

However, Zhong Yuemin did not respond to her greeting immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Ning Wei with a frown. "Ning Wei, what's going on?"

Ning Wei briefly told Zhong Yuemin what happened. Avril interrupted and said, "Zhong Yuemin, this is just a misunderstanding. Everyone is here for their respective missions. There is no need to hurt the harmony."

Wang Pangzi had already run to Dabai. He stroked Dabai's fur and said with a touching look on his face, "Dabai, are you here to save your fat brother? I'm so touched!"

Dabai glanced at him coldly and ignored him.

After listening to Ning Wei's narration, Zhong Yuemin nodded and said to Avril, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just call it quits! We still have a lot of people behind us, and we need a place to rest."

"No problem. Zhong Yuemin, you go ahead and do your work. We'll talk when we have time."

"Ok."

Zhong Yuemin carefully looked at the water source in front of him, and could not help but feel delighted. This pond is about four acres in size, the water is clear and you can see the bottom. The water surface sparkles under the sunlight, as calm as a mirror. For people who have just walked out of the vast desert and are suffering from thirst, it is undoubtedly an invaluable fountain of life.

Zhong Yuemin squatted down and reached out to touch the water surface. A cool feeling instantly spread throughout his body, making him shiver. He greedily admired the clear water, as if he was admiring a rare treasure.

However, he soon realized that this was not a true oasis. The surrounding deserts and Gobi were high in elevation, surrounding the pond like a lonely island.

There are only a few trees dotted around the pond, which grow tenaciously, forming a sharp contrast with the desolate environment around them. Although these trees are rare, they also add a bit of vitality to the pond.

Zhong Yuemin stood up and looked around. He took a deep breath and felt the moist air.

Zhong Yuemin thought to himself that he didn't know if this pond would be their only supply station in the next few days. They had to use the resources here carefully to ensure that they could safely survive the rest of the journey.

Zheng Tong led Professor Zhang and others to the place quickly. When Professor Zhang saw Zhong Yuemin, he couldn't wait to ask with concern, "Xiao Zhong, are you okay? We were so worried!"

Zhong Yuemin smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was not injured, but just encountered a small misunderstanding.

Professor Zhang felt relieved and asked, "Which country is the other party from?"

Zhong Yuemin replied, "It was the Americans. But it has been resolved. There won't be any more trouble."

Hearing this, Professor Zhang nodded. He looked forward and found that there was not only a water source for supplies not far ahead, so he turned to Zhong Yuemin and suggested, "The food we brought is enough to last through tonight, why don't we rest here?"

"Okay, Professor Zhang, you see, the water in this pond is clear, enough for us to replenish our water source. Also, there are some sparse trees over there. Although there are not many, they can also provide some food for the camels."

Professor Zhang nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Great, with these resources, we can rest here for a night and recover our strength. Tomorrow, we will continue to move forward and explore this mysterious Gobi Desert."

Other people in the team also started to get busy, some fetched water to refill their kettles, and some started to set up temporary tents.

Zhong Yuemin walked to a distance and carefully observed the surrounding environment. He noticed that although the water source here was abundant, the surrounding terrain was extremely complex. The sand dunes were undulating, as if hiding endless secrets.

Avril quietly walked to Zhong Yuemin's side without knowing when. Her voice was particularly clear in the silent Gobi Desert. "Zhong Yuemin, why are you here?"

Zhong Yuemin turned his head slightly, a cynical smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked back, "Ms. Avril, since you can come, why can't I?" The sunlight shone on his resolute face, reflecting a pair of deep eyes.

Avril frowned slightly and sighed helplessly. "I have no choice. If I had any other choice, I would never set foot here." There was a barely perceptible sadness in her voice.

Zhong Yuemin stared at Avril with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through her heart. "Avril, do you know the secret hidden in this place?"

Eve hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice, "I know a little bit, but not all. So how much do you know?" Her voice floated in the night wind with a hint of mystery.

Zhong Yuemin blinked and replied innocently, "If I tell you that I know nothing, would you believe it?" There was a hint of mischief in his words, which made Avril laugh.

Avril stared at Zhong Yuemin with eyes wide open in disbelief and asked, "How dare you venture into this place when you are so ignorant of everything?" Her voice was full of surprise and worry.

Zhong Yuemin chuckled and scratched his head. "Avril, why don't you tell me what you know."

Avril took a deep breath and then said slowly: "This Gobi Desert is extremely vast, like an endless ocean of sand. And this place is the core area of ​​the vast desert. The purpose of my coming here this time is an ancient relic located in the middle of this Gobi Desert. It is rumored that this relic contains endless treasures and extremely powerful power. And the reason why I came here is for this power. However, this Gobi Desert is also a place full of dangers and unknowns! Raging winds, dust all over the sky, quicksand surging... Any one of them is enough to kill people. What's more, it is said that there are some ancient curses and evil spirits here, and they are responsible for guarding the mysterious ruins. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know. On this trip, we must not only withstand the harsh test of nature, but also be on guard against those unpredictable dangers at all times!"

After hearing this, Zhong Yuemin immediately asked, "Are there people from other countries besides us?"

"Yes, there are indeed others." Avril nodded and replied. "Like the Soviet Union, Britain, France, Germany, and even Japan, South Korea and Outer Mongolia have people involved."

"Avril, how come you know this place so well?"

"Someone has been here before, but unfortunately they failed. I know the detailed route map. Do you want to come with us? If you go by yourself, there will be many dangers."

Zhong Yuemin hesitated for a moment. "Avril, I can't make the decision on this matter. Let me ask."

Avril laughed. "This is not like the Zhong Yuemin I know, but I'm more curious about why you came here. You shouldn't be interested in this."

"You're wrong. I'm a natural adventurer. How can I miss out on such a fun thing?"

"Then I'm serious. If there's anything fun to do in the future, I'll find you and we can be companions."

"A few words floating in the sky is nothing."

"Hehe...Hehe...where's Xiangjun? How is she now?"

"Teacher Song? You look great!"

"Last year, Xiangjun said she wanted to get married. Has she gotten married yet?"

"Not yet! Maybe soon!"

"Zhong Yuemin, don't you have any ideas?"

"I, what can I think? Don't talk nonsense." Zhong Yuemin said and left.

Avril looked at his back and whispered, "He's a hypocrite."
