From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 993
Chapter 993 Horse Thief
“Ha!”
Late at night! Ten tall horses were galloping wildly on the boundless Gobi Desert. Although Chen Guangda and the others weren’t really capable of riding horses, fortunately, these were all well-trained warhorses. As long as they grasped the reins tightly and didn’t fall off, they would naturally follow Fifth’s head horse and run recklessly.
“Donkey …”
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Guangda suddenly pulled on the reins and stopped. The other horses also staggered to a halt. However, they should have been galloping for more than half an hour. All the horses were so tired that they were panting. Their bodies were covered in sparkling hot sweat. However, everyone’s faces turned green from the cold night breeze.
“I don’t think I’ve caught up …”
Fifth Brother raised the camping lamp and ran back to their side. Soil City in Moonshine Bay had long disappeared from their sight, and they could not see anything in the pitch-black wilderness. However, Yan Qing rubbed Momo’s cheek and asked, “Honey, what exactly happened? Isn’t that woman dancing for you? Why did she suddenly make a move?”
“I don’t know what method she used to fascinate me. If Old Black hadn’t suddenly given it to me, I would have already been hit …”
Chen Guangda shook his head with an ugly expression. He had always thought that it was a rumor that he could deceive people by blowing his breath. Who knew that he would encounter it personally today? However, Qiu Yu, who was following behind him, said, “That should be Sha Daji’s unique technique, Heavenly Devil Dance. I wanted to warn you before, but those people surrounded us!”
“How do you know that the Heavenly Devil Dance is very famous?”
Chen Guangda looked at her in surprise. Qiu Yu said, “My dad used to run errands for the Shabak caravan. After one of their leaders got drunk, he told my dad that the reason why Sha Lifei was able to dominate the Vile Desert was all because of Sha Daji’s help. It was said that as long as Sha Daji danced for someone for a while, that person would work hard for her!”
“There’s still this kind of thing …”
Chen Guangda frowned slightly. Qiu Yu nodded and said, “Yes! Many of Sha Daji’s subordinates are dead men. She can kill her with just one sentence. It is said that she helped her father eradicate many enemies with this move. Without Sha Daji, there would be no Sha Bak now. Even Sha Lifei obeys his daughter’s orders!”
“I’ve heard about Sha Daji …”
Pan Lu also looked at Chen Guangda and said, “It is said that Sha Lifei was captured by his enemies and wanted to kill him back then. Sha Daji took the initiative to dance for those people. As a result, more than 200 people were fascinated by her, and then she cut off their heads one by one. She even piled the cut heads in front of Shabak City Gate and directly piled them up into a human head tower!”
Hearing this, Chen Guang said in a deep voice, “That little bitch is indeed not simple. Regardless of whether she knows any evil Heavenly Devil Dance or not, just her calmness in the face of my assassination is not something ordinary women can compare to. Even the elders would probably have been scared to pee long ago!”
“What happened to that dream of yours? How did you dream of her …”
Yan Qing frowned in confusion, but Chen Guangda shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but that dream was too real. The Sha Ji I dreamed of was actually the same as Sha Daji’s. Even its name was so similar. Furthermore, after I woke up, there was actually a wound on my arm that was the same as the wound in my dream. It was truly too evil!”
“Then why did Sha Ji call you master? Did she say who you are?”
Yan Qing’s expression also became complicated, but Chen Guangda sighed, “No! She only said that she had waited for me in the desert for more than a thousand years and had also led a large cavalry of the West Cool. However, I’m afraid that the owner she was referring to is not me. It should be this fellow!”
Chen Guangda gently pointed at his mouth. Yan Qing and the others naturally understood that he was referring to the Black Corpse Bug. However, there were still two outsiders present, so they could not continue their discussion. Hence, Yan Qing turned to Qiu Yu and asked, “Girl! Do you know how to get to the Fairy Lake? If you know him, bring us there!”
“I know the way, but I advise you not to go to Fairy Lake …”
Qiu Yu hurriedly shook her head and said, “The head of the Fairy Lake is called Yidao Liu. He has always been at odds with Sha Lifei. Furthermore, I heard from the Horse Gang yesterday that Sha Lifei is about to attack Yidao Liu. If you go to the Fairy Lake, not only will you be involved in their war, you might even meet Sha Daji again!”
Pan Lu immediately said, “If that’s the case, we really can’t go. Once Yidao Liu fights with Sha Lifei, he will definitely force all the men on the territory to go to the battlefield. Beautiful women will also become prizes for rewarding warriors. We can’t ask for trouble from ourselves!”
“Then do you have a better place to go?”
Chen Guangda looked at her helplessly. However, Qiu Yu hurriedly said, “We can go to Crouching Bull Continent. I have a cousin who runs a noodle shop there. She can help us settle down. Moreover, Crouching Bull Continent is the second largest continent in the Middle Five Continents. It is not far from Fairy Lake and Zhenbei Fort. No matter where you want to go in the future, it will be very convenient!”
“Crouching Bull Continent …”
Chen Guangda and the others subconsciously looked at each other. The caravan they had killed was from Crouching Bull Continent. However, there was no better place to go now. The night in the desert was even colder. Chen Guangda could only wave his hand and say, “Girl, lead the way. Don’t run too fast. None of us know how to ride horses!”
“Hehe ~ I’m not good at it either …”
Qiu Yu naughtily stuck out her small tongue. She seemed to have become much more cheerful since she escaped from the devil’s palm. However, she quickly ran towards the northeast with her horse. However, Chen Guangda took off a water bag from her horse and opened it. After sniffing it, he tossed it to Yan Qing and said, “Persuade you to drink more wine. There is no one in the west!”
“Wow! Horse milk wine, delicious …”
Without any hesitation, Yan Qing took a big mouthful and threw it at the people behind her. After everyone took a big mouthful, their cold bodies became more or less warm. She immediately caught up with Qiu Yu and ran towards the Crouching Bull Continent in no hurry.
The sixteen oases were neither too far nor too close. It was estimated that they would not arrive in Crouching Bull Continent before dawn. However, it was said that there weren’t so many oases before. All of them emerged from the ground along with strange magnetic fields after the apocalypse. There were also many exaggerated legends among them.
Some said that there was a huge UFO hidden underground. Trapped aliens were repairing the UFO, and the engine was preheating to create such a powerful magnetic field. There was also the saying that there was a lost ancient city in the desert. The technology was even more advanced than the modern one. After someone accidentally found it, the ancient city’s defense system activated itself.
That’s why he unleashed this catastrophe, He even created such a powerful magnetic field. Some even said that the desert was the entrance to hell. The little black monster was the devil of hell. Anyway, all the rumors said that it had a nose and eyes. However, Chen Guangda felt that the first two were at least a bit logical. As for the third, it was completely farting.
“Damn it! There’s a big sandstorm again. Hurry up and find a place to hide …”
Xia Fei, who was running behind, suddenly cried out in alarm. Everyone hurriedly turned around and saw a large black sandstorm sweeping over from behind. It quickly covered the crescent moon in the sky. Although the sandstorm was far less powerful here than in the desert, it was still very simple for them to be blown into a daze.
“Hurry up and follow me …”
Qiu Yu hurriedly waved his horse whip to speed up, She should be very familiar with the road conditions. A broken road and an old well house appeared in everyone’s sight very quickly. The blue walls looked very eye-catching in the Gobi Desert, but everyone with some knowledge knew that these well houses were used to irrigate plants and prevent excessive desertification of the land.
“Hurry up and tie the horse. Let’s hide in the house …”
Qiu Yu hurriedly jumped off the horse and tied it to the side of the house. Chen Guangda and the others hurriedly got off the horse and found two raincloths to block the wind and sand. After they were busy, the sandstorm blew over. The terrifying howl was as terrifying as a ghost crying. The cold wind was about to freeze a person into a popsicle.
“Hurry up and go in …”
There were a total of three small rooms in the well house. Apart from the largest pump room, the other two were the warehouse and the duty room. Chen Guangda directly pulled open the duty room in the middle. Unexpectedly, with a flash of light, there was a man standing inside who looked at him.
“Who are you …”
Chen Guangda abruptly took a step back and pulled out his saber. Who knew that the other party would scratch his head and say, “I should be asking you guys. Didn’t you see the words’someone lives here ‘written on the door? My family lives here, okay? Everyone in the vicinity knows about it!”
“Brother Zhu Zi! There’s a sandstorm outside, let’s go in and hide …”
Qiu Yu hurriedly ran up from behind. When the strong man saw that it was her, he smiled foolishly and hurriedly ran out with an oil lamp. He directly opened the door next door and said, “You all should stay in the warehouse. The place inside is big and clean. Drink whatever you want from the bucket. Leave me a bucket of water and I’ll be hit!”
“Thank you!”
Chen Guangda patted his shoulder and hurriedly drilled in. The sandstorm outside was blowing so hard that people almost couldn’t open their eyes. However, at this time, a man and a woman came out from the next room. They were a young man and a middle-aged woman. After peeking at them, they hurriedly drilled back into the duty room.
“This door can only be locked from the outside. If you want to come out, knock hard on the door. I will help you open it. Don’t kick my door …”
The sturdy man struggled to close the wooden door. A strong gust of wind immediately blew through the crack of the door and turned into a whistle-like scream. Chen Guangda looked at the empty warehouse and saw that there was nothing but ragged debris. However, Qiu Yu helplessly said, “This season is like this. It’s windy for three days and two days!”
“Who are the people next door? Do you know them well?”
Chen Guangda walked to the window and took a look. Unfortunately, the window was nailed to death by the wooden plank. Qiu Yu raised her flashlight and said, “Not too familiar! However, the two brothers are good people. They often provide water for travelers. It was the aunt who was their common wife just now. Hehe ~”
Chen Guangda nodded noncommittally. He had seen too many of these things, so he lit a cigarette and said, “This sandstorm is probably going to blow for a while. Everyone, hurry up and rest. I’ll call you when the sandstorm stops!”
“Keep an eye on our horses. Don’t let the one next door steal them. It’s not in vain to say that I’m poor …”
Xia Fei directly held Yan Qing and sat on the ground. He seemed to have a deep prejudice against the two brothers next door, but Chen Guangda agreed with her. He sat at the door and listened to the movements outside. However, as time passed, just as the wind was gradually weakening, the sound of horses hissing came from outside, followed by the sound of horses galloping wildly.
“Damn it! How dare you steal our horses …”
Chen Guangda suddenly jumped up from the ground. However, when he kicked towards the door, he discovered that the door was actually motionless. He could only pull out his broadsword and chop the door open. However, when they chased after him angrily, there were no signs of people or horses running outside.
“What’s going on …”
Suddenly! The few people next door actually ran out while rubbing their sleepy eyes. Chen Guangda immediately looked at them in shock. He didn’t expect that the person who stole the horse wasn’t them. No wonder he didn’t hear any movement just now, but Qiu Yu suddenly shouted in shock, “Sand Lizard! They’ve lured the Sand Lizard over! Run!”
