Chapter 542 Mirror

The fine yellow sand is flying around with the breeze. Although the temperature in the desert is not high, the air is very dry.

Lily was still a little thirsty, she licked her mouth with her tongue, and did not ask Mr. Charles for fresh water.

There is no resupply point in this place, and there is still fresh water left to go back.

Suddenly a small bottle of water was delivered to Lily. "Drink it, a mouse can still be fed."

Lily held the bottle cap in both hands, and said with a smile, "Mr. Charles, thank you."

After speaking, she moved her mouth to the cap of the bottle and drank it in small gulps.

After a while, the bottle cap was empty, Lily let out a deep breath, and Dara's ears perked up. "It's so refreshing to drink!"

Charles stroked her head with his hand. "After the complete renovation of the Narwhal is completed, we won't have to save so much."

"Then our ship becomes the same as the ship that can land directly on land? That's really interesting." As Lily asked, her long tail swept back and forth at Charles' fingertips.

"Others don't matter, the main thing is the space. This car is too small. The Narwhal is 65 meters long, 10 meters wide, and the waterline is 6 meters. With it as a vehicle, we can go deeper on the surface and find it better. dark."

"If the darkness is taken away by something, there is a high probability that it is not just nearby."

Charles tapped his fingers rhythmically on the windshield. He was very dissatisfied with the loading capacity of the truck.

"As long as the Narwhal can come up, I can control the turret again. After all, I am a gunner. How can I be a gunner without a deck gun?" Lily said excitedly.

Charles glanced at the still barren desert outside the window, and grabbed Lily by the side of a small box at his feet. "Go see how the bandages are doing inside."

"Hmm!" Lily said as she bent down and got into the simple spliced ​​wooden box.

After a while, Lily got out from inside. "Mr. First Officer said that they are very good. They eat and drink very well. An ordinary biscuit is enough for them to eat for several months, but they feel a little bumpy."

"That's good, let the bandages calm the other four people in the car. We are looking for the "mirror" now. As long as we find it, he will recover immediately."

Lily got into the box again, but this time when she came back, she brought a bandage and another message

"Mr. Charles, the first mate said, if we can't find it, he said let's go back first, he's fine." Lily looked up at Charles.

"I know it in my heart, I don't need him to remind, let him wait patiently."

Although Charles said so on his lips, in fact, he was a little embarrassed about the current situation in his heart.

After searching for so many days, I have searched all over the desert and still haven’t found the sand man. I guess I lost it completely. The probability of continuing to search in this desert is getting smaller and smaller.

Glancing at Dipper who was tiredly holding the steering wheel beside him, Charles secretly made a decision in his heart. "Look for two more days."

It was a bit unacceptable to fold five people into it for the first time exploring.

As time passed, the scenery outside began to change again.

The sand dunes gradually became smaller and disappeared, and the ground became flat again. They had crossed the entire desert and came to the Gobi Desert again. This was not the Gobi Desert they had been to before, but the Gobi Desert on the other side of the desert.

Before Charles took out the map to compare again, something in the distance suddenly shocked him.

With the help of a telescope, Charles saw the slowly moving thing.

That's a sand man, no, it's not a sand man anymore, its appearance has changed to that of the Gobi Desert, where the dust is mixed with broken stones, only the upper body of it is still staggering there.

Only this time it was facing Charles and the others. Through the lens of the telescope, he could clearly see stones falling from its face to the ground.

This "mirror" is known to replicate the surrounding landscape, with the surface on the front and the reverse on the back.

"Go ahead! Get close to it, don't go too fast." Charles, who was tense all over, quickly took over the control of the car and drove towards something far away.

He held his breath and stared fixedly at the "mirror" in the distance.

Every change in the size of that thing can make everyone highly nervous.

Although they have already dealt with him once, no one dares to say that they fully understand him in the face of this unreasonable thing.

You must know that this thing can not only copy the environment, if it is too close, any living things will also be projected on it.

Charles is approaching the "mirror", and the "mirror" is also approaching him, but the mutual approach seems to have reached a certain balance. The "mirror" in the distance does not become larger, but gradually shrinks.

"Captain, I think it must be related to the position. We were behind him before, but now he is in front of him."

Charles originally thought he had already figured out the way of this thing, but the abnormal things on the surface are always so unexpected.

The car stopped slowly, waiting for the opponent to approach, but this time, the opponent was still shrinking, but the speed dropped a little.

"No, the front of this "mirror" is opposite to the other side. Since the front and back are shrinking, the left and right are getting bigger. Let's go to the right."

The three cars slowly began to move around the "mirror". Charles' method worked, and the "mirror" was really getting bigger.

When it felt about the same, Charles slammed on the brakes and put the finger-sized car on the Gobi Desert.

"Bandages! Go due west, keep going due west, and don't go astray, or you won't be able to come." Charles said nervously to the pager.

"Understood..." The car, which looks like a child's toy, uses the "mirror" in the distance as an anchor point, and moves quickly around it to the left.

Charles' palms were sweating at this time, and he followed the other crew members nervously looking at the bandaged car.

As they stopped moving, the "mirror" in the distance began to shrink again, but the bandaged car not far away began to slowly become larger.

Charles clenched his fists involuntarily. "Successful!"

The bandage car changed from the size of a matchbox to the size of a shoebox, and gradually changed to normal specifications.

"Bandage, go south in another thirty seconds and get rid of the influence of the "mirror"." Charles reminded nervously.

This kind of weird thing must take time to control it. Otherwise, the small bandage becomes a big bandage, and there is something to play with.

"clear……"

The bandage was still getting bigger, but on Charles' side, the "mirror" was no longer visible, and it disappeared into the purple mist in the distance.
