The Lost Tomb : Sea Of Sands

Chapter 124: Join Forces

The smell of urine slowly dissipated after a period of time, but it was absolutely disgusting at its peak. He didn't vomit; otherwise, there would have been another spectacular sight in this stone tunnel.

He didn't know if Wu Xie had arranged these details, but now he felt as if he had deified Wu Xie too much.

Wu Xie may have been able to control what he could, but it would be a little weird and boring if he could control such things as having people urinate in this exact spot. It must have been a coincidence, which was still a little baffling and boring.

At this time, he couldn't help worrying about these black-clad men's predicament. He knew Wu Xie's purpose. At this stage, he ought to have built up a sense of belonging with these people so that they would safely take him out of the desert, and then he would recuperate for a period of time.

But his whole body was covered in rotten sores, soaked in urine, and he didn't even know what he looked like at this point. He also didn't know if those people had AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, etc. It would be really unlucky for him if they had these diseases.

Thinking up to this point, he suddenly missed the sun and the hot desert outside, which represented a sense of security.

But these black-clad men seemed to be trapped in this stone tunnel. They didn't know what was going on, but someone was clearly having a barbeque. No matter how good they were, they couldn't do anything in such a narrow tunnel.

But it should be fine to wait until evening.

Li Cu didn't know what time it was now, but even if it was just after sunrise—it was unlikely that someone would get up so early to barbeque—they would only have to wait ten hours.

When he thought of that, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After resting in the urine tracts for a period of time, Li Cu unexpectedly fell asleep again. When he woke up this time, he found that he was finally moving.

They had moved up bit by bit and finally pulled Li Cu out of the tunnel and into the desert. It was the cool night air that had awakened him.

He was completely shocked when he opened his eyes and saw all the campfires around him, but he wasn't the only one— all those black-clad men were just as shocked.

He had thought it was just some random people who had gathered here, but what they saw were thousands of tents and bonfires stretching across the whole desert.

Many of the campfires had been extinguished, and various sentries could be seen, but none of them were around Li Cu's group. This meant that—for the time being— no one had noticed them suddenly appearing out of the darkness in the middle of all those tents.

The tents were placed far apart, but there were too many to count, and they were all different sizes. Li Cu could see a lot of jeeps, desert trucks, and piles of materials dispersed among the tents, as well as gas lamps, bonfires, and a huge variety of large lighting equipment. A large amount of white powder was piled around various tents, making it obvious that the people who came here were experts.

The whole encampment formed a huge circle around the haizi, making it seem so small in comparison.

In the dark night, the scene almost looked like a city ablaze with lights. Those who had been to this desert before might even think that they were seeing a mirage.

They stood in the night wind for a long time. These people who had been so active before suddenly weren't moving at all, probably because they didn't know where to go. Traversing through the whole camp would be a long journey, especially since they couldn't even see the edge.
