At dusk, when the last warmth of the setting sun had drained away and disappeared below the desert horizon, a gentle wind arose, carrying away the temperature of the desert surface. Despite this, the heat remained almost unbearable. The vast dunes, unending and monotone, tired the eyes. Fine sand stirred with the wind, exposing a lizard that scampered forward in panic and quickly burrowed back into the sand, disappearing without a trace.
On a severely desertified hillside, a group of people lay in ambush, peeking towards the front. Below the hillside was a flat Gobi, like a huge basin surrounded by severely desertified mountains, all of which looked nearly identical. However, many sunken holes appeared on the basin, some areas smeared with bloodstains, and no one in sight. It was precisely the secret military base of the Terrorist Organization.
