Chapter 18: Launching together
There were only seventeen people in this team, including men and women, old and young. They wore sun protection clothing of the same color and sun hats. As soon as they arrived at the oasis and saw Gu Fan and the others, they smiled very kindly.
A look that shows no malice.
Gu Fan frowned slightly because the color of their clothes was completely different from the two teams he had seen before. He secretly wondered if he had run into a third team. When did this area become so popular and he ran into other teams one after another.
A man who looked like a team leader took the initiative to come over and said with a smile: "Hello, you are also here to explore this deserted place like us."
Teacher Liu stepped forward and nodded: "Yes, we didn't expect that there were other people who had the same idea as us."
After hearing this, the team leader laughed: "There are many people in the world who have the same idea. Others have already wanted to do what you want to do, but I didn't expect that such a large area can be encountered."
Gu Fan thinks this makes sense. Just like what Du Jun said, are they only allowed to explore this area and not allow others to come? The country has such a large population, and their team is not the only one who has the same idea.
The leader of the team said again: "I have been to this area more than once. I knew there was an oasis here, so I came to replenish some water. I didn't expect to meet other people."
"More than once, has this ghost place attracted you so much?" Not only Lu Yi was confused, but other people also found it strange.
The man who looked like the leader gave a wry smile: "Well, maybe this is just a hobby. Some people can't be understood by others. My friends can't understand that I live a good life in the city and have no worries about food and clothing, but I have to wander around.
, to explore unknown places.”
After hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "I understand, it turns out that life is too comfortable and I want to find something to suffer."
Gu Fan immediately touched Lu Yi with his elbow and told this guy to keep his mouth shut and not to say anything that came to mind.
However, the man who looked like the leader didn't mind. He laughed at himself and said, "My parents said the same thing about me, but I don't care. Maybe I just want to find fault."
"It's true..." After saying this, everyone's eyes fell on Du Jun, which made Du Jun feel unhappy: "Why are you looking at me? What do you mean? I'm here to accompany you and support you.
I didn’t come here specifically to suffer, please don’t look at me with such strange eyes.”
Gu Fan quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, that's not what we meant."
At this time, Teacher Liu said again: "Since everyone is here to get water, and there is a lot of water here, we each get our own, and there won't be a fight anyway."
"Haha, that makes sense. Then let's go and you can continue to set up camp." After saying that, the team leader took his people to the lake not far away and began to unload the goods and set up tents.
It seemed that he was not a bad person. Professor Luo nodded and motioned for everyone to take action and fill up the water.
In addition to people who need water, camels also need water. Ouyang Jin asked all the camels to go to the lake and start to replenish water. The real test will be when they enter the desert.
Soon, with everyone's concerted efforts, all the water was filled. Looking at the sufficient water, everyone was full of confidence in the way forward. They felt that no difficulties and obstacles could stop them, and they had encountered a lot of troubles and dangers so far.
, they still made it here.
Not only Gu Fan and the others were filled with water, but the other team was also filled with water, so Lu Yi suggested that everyone go down and take a shower. To be honest, everyone stinked.
Think about it, everyone. I haven’t taken a shower for more than ten days. How stinky it must be, but stinky men, stinky men, men don’t matter, but Su Hui, Lin Xi, and Qin Jia are the three women who love to be clean. Now they feel
Feeling uncomfortable all over.
"But if you take a bath, you may pollute the water source." Gu Fan felt dizzy. He couldn't do whatever he wanted when he had enough water, and he had to leave this oasis to others behind him.
Just when everyone thought it was a good idea and Gu Fan hesitated, another team suddenly made an excited sound. Several men took off their clothes, rolled up their trousers and jumped into the water.
Lu Yi shook his head: "Look, even if we don't pollute the water source, someone will still do it. The result will be the same, but we just stand there and watch helplessly. It's really..."
"Okay, okay, just wash it. If anyone can't wash it clean, don't come up." After saying that, Gu Fan was the first to take off his clothes, rolled up his trousers, and jumped into the water.
"You guys move so fast." Lu Yi said as he started to move, and the others followed suit. Everyone felt very uncomfortable. They really needed to be washed, and they didn't even think about whether there was a better way.
.
When they saw the boys jumping into the water one by one, Su Hui, Lin Xi, and Qin Jia looked envious. They couldn't take off their clothes at will like the boys.
"Hey, beauties, don't just look around, come down and take a bath together." Lu Yi shouted, and the others followed suit, making the women laugh.
"We can't let these stinky boys see our jokes, come with me." Under the leadership of Su Hui, they returned to the tent and changed into short-sleeved tops and hot pants.
Seeing this outfit and knowing that the girl was about to get into the water, Lu Yi was the first to whistle, and then Gu Fan and the others also started to make noises, those who could whistle whistled, and those who could howl like wolves.
I saw Su Hui jumping into the water first, her swimming posture twisting her waist like a water snake, and she quickly swam in front of Gu Fan. As soon as her upper body came out of the water, she was immediately soaked by the water.
The clothes clung to her skin, revealing her devilish figure, and her charming smile made the gay men howl deep in their hearts.
Gu Fan quickly came to his senses and said maliciously: "Welcome to Sister Su to get into the water. Now we have a grudge to take revenge." After saying that, Gu Fan started to splash water on Su Hui, and Lu Yi and Ajie hurried over.
Help, men work together.
"You stinky boys." Although Su Hui also fought back, her ability to splash water was pitiful and she was no match for Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Ajie. Su Hui felt so many waves rushing towards her that she couldn't stop them at all.
, as a last resort, Su Hui quickly asked for help: "Lin Xi, Qin Jia, come and help."
Soon, Lin Xi and Qin Jia responded to Su Hui's call, went into the water one after another, and began to help Su Hui fight in the water fight. However, even if the three women joined forces, it was of no avail, because Du Jun and Xu Haowen also joined Gu Fan's team, and the five
One boy versus three girls, the advantage is too obvious.
In desperation, Su Hui had to surrender: "Brothers, stop making trouble."
Seeing Su Hui's rare surrender, Gu Fan felt very relieved, so he let her go, casually swam to Lin Xi's side, took Lin Xi's hand, and led Lin Xi to swim to the other side.
And Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "No, you really want to take a mandarin duck bath."
"Fuck you!" Gu Fan cursed with a smile. He was just chasing and playing with Lin Xi in the water. How could Lu Yi say that?
Not only Gu Fan and the others had a great time washing, but the other team was also swimming, cheering and shouting, very active. It seems that everyone will be very happy today.
After washing in the water for about an hour, Gu Fan felt that it was almost done, so he took Lin Xi's hand and went ashore.
And Ouyang Jin also said: "At night, the temperature in the desert will be very low. It's just getting dark now, so it's not a big problem, but it's almost done, so hurry up and get ashore."
Su Hui also felt cold after being reminded like this, so she and Qin Jia swam back quickly.
At this time, Gu Fan had already wiped his body clean and walked out of the tent. He felt that the temperature had dropped significantly. When he saw Lu Yi, Ajie, Du Jun, and Xu Haowen were still swimming around, he couldn't help but shout.
One sentence: "What are you thinking about? I'm not afraid of freezing at night."
Lu Yi quickly responded: "Okay, we understand and will be here right away."
"There's really nothing I can do against you." After Gu Fan said this, he glanced at the other side. There were also several people in that team who didn't come ashore. They were really too playful.
Suddenly Gu Fan was startled. He saw movement and unusual ripples on the lake. He couldn't see clearly because it was too dark, so he thought he had seen it wrong.
"Wait a minute!" Gu Fan's face changed with horror, because the ripples were getting closer and closer, becoming more and more obvious, as if something in the water was quietly approaching. When he got closer, something seemed to emerge from the water.
"No, everyone, come back quickly, come back quickly!" Gu Fan shouted urgently, but Lu Yi and the others were still playing in the water, and the noise covered up Gu Fan's shouts.
Now not only Gu Fan saw the abnormality, but Su Hui and others were also frightened. They shouted and made gestures together, which attracted the attention of Lu Yi and others.
"What's wrong? Why are they jumping up and down? Are they urging us to go ashore?" Lu Yi was confused for a while, and then heard something: "Hurry up, get ashore, is there anything going on?"
Now Lu Yi was even more confused: "Situation, what's the situation?"
At this moment, someone from the other team suddenly screamed, very frightened, and then he saw that he was involuntarily pulled towards the center of the lake. No matter how hard he struggled or how he called for help, he couldn't do it, as if the water
There was something below pulling his feet and forcing him forward.
Everyone was stunned, but Gu Fan shouted: "What are you doing standing around, why don't you come back quickly." With this shout, everyone came to their senses and swam hard to the shore one by one.
"No, we just took a bath. Is this the result of polluting the water source?" Lu Yi swam desperately, but he had played too much before, so he didn't have much energy left, so he swam slower, and Ajie,
Du Jun and Xu Haowen are not much better than Lu Yi.
