My Waste Husband -

Chapter 861
Wilson's words were like a huge rock being pushed from a high place into a calm lake, which aroused a lot of echoes at once.
"That's right. Everyone knows what happened just now. The momentum is the most important thing. You, Collier Security, don't do anything all the time, but you were the first to surrender?"
"They're really a group of good-for-nothings who can't do anything but spoil things."
"What the hell?"
The other security companies also spoke one after another, aiming at Collier Security. It seemed that they gave up the batch of goods because Henry had just spoken.
As for the blame of these security companies, Henry did not care at all and walked alone. The other Reapers and Alvin seemed to have not heard those words. Their attitude made other companies feel like they were punching in the air, which made them angrier and they scolded more fiercely.
"We called you here to help with the security work, not to give up so easily. Rubbish!" Manager Chen also said.
"Okay!" Delsean, who had not spoken all the time, finally couldn't listen to them anymore. He said, "Today's situation is clear to us. If we didn't give up this batch of goods, it would only bring us more casualties. These two days, I will ask you to work harder and try to solve the problem before our supplies are exhausted."
"Mr. Attard, you can rest assured that since we have come out here, we are here to work hard. It doesn't matter if we are tired. Otherwise, we will be like this Collier Security. Your money will be wasted in vain!" Wilson said.
"Thank you," Delsean said politely. Then he took out the blueprint and continued to study it with Professor Gu.
Another day passed. At night, everyone set up camp. Because of the loss of half of the materials, Collier Security only had a few grains of rice on the surface of the pot for dinner, which was equivalent to boiling a pot of plain water.
On the other hand, the rest of the security companies ate the same as they ate yesterday. They didn't care about losing supplies at all. However, they were much more restrained and stopped showing off to Henry and the others aboveboard. After eating, they went back to their tents to rest.
A night's time passed by quietly.
In the morning of the next day, everyone walked out of their tents and continued to move forward.
In two days, the group of people had completely gone into the depths of the desert. They were surrounded by desolation, and there could not guess where was left and where was right.
Delsean stared at the drawing in his hand and tried to distinguish the direction.
"President Attard, I just checked the supplies. The supplies can last for three days. If we want to go back now, we will need two days. I think everyone's enthusiasm is not high. Would you like to go back and get more supplies?" Director Chen walked to Delsean and whispered.
"No." Delsean shook his head. "If we go back and come in again, we will meet the horse bandits again. They specialize in this kind of business. Don't worry, they will come sooner or later. Why do you think they have taken away those supplies?"
"President Attard, what do you mean?"
"When that time comes, I'm afraid there will be people rushing to buy a bucket of water, even though each bucket of water will be sold for ten thousand!" Delsean looked into the distance. "We're not far from our destination. Try your best."
As soon as Delsean finished his words, a loud roar suddenly sounded in front of them.
"Sandstorm. Quickly hide!"
"Sandstorm!" Delsean's face changed. He looked into the distance and saw a vast amount of yellow sand sweeping toward them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the desert, one needed to overcome many difficulties, such as a shortage of resources and huge consumption of one's physical strength. However, these were all factors that could be controlled by people. The thing that caused one to be the most afraid was something that was out of control, such as the sandstorm!
It should be known that the sand dunes in the desert would all move. Under the strong wind, the sand on one side of the sand dune would be blown up to the sand dune and turned to the leeward side of the sand dune. This constant sandstorm would keep the sand dunes moving all the time, and there was no way to block it.
If there was a strong sandstorm on the edge of the desert, the large sections of roads and railway would disappear without a trace, not to mention the people. Even cars and houses would be buried.
"Quick! Find a place to hide!" Delsean roared and lay down on the sand dune in front of him. The sand dune could resist some of the wind. Otherwise, if a person stood in the centre of the sandstorm, he would be blown up.
Although everyone present had never seen the power of the sandstorm, they had heard of it and they had done some homework before entering the desert, so they knew how terrible the sandstorm
was. After seeing the yellow sand all over the sky, no one hesitated and all people went to find a place to hide. A few seconds later, the yellow sand swept over the sky.
Henry hid behind a sand dune. Although this sandstorm couldn't affect him, he didn't dare to be too shocking. In the sandstorm, Henry could see that many tents were blown up to the sky. There was even a person who was swept up by strong wind. After several rolls, he couldn't even let out a scream and was taken away by the yellow sand, disappearing without a trace. People from Blessing Security had no time to care about supplies. In just a few seconds, half of the supplies were swept away by the yellow sand.
The sandstorm came quickly and went quickly. For people within the storm, it looked like a long time had passed, but the actual time was only a few dozen seconds.
Dozens of seconds later, the sandstorm faded away. It could be seen that everyone showed a look of lingering fear.
Like an ostrich, Delsean pulled his head out of the sand and patted off the yellow sand on his body. "Quick! Gather! Let's count our people. Mr. Cao, you should take check our supplies!"
As Delsean spoke, sand was spurting out of his mouth.
The staff of the major companies immediately counted the number of people.
"We're short of two brothers!"
"There are five of us are missing!"
The team leaders of the two security companies said with a gloomy face.
Vigour, Blessing and Flourishing Security did not have any staff missing.
"Two-thirds of the goods were blown away, and only one-third is left. We won't be able to hold on for a day!" Wilson, the leader of Blessing Security, said in a disappointed voice. But if one looked closely, one could see a smile in his eyes.
The exploration in the desert was too tough. They wished to use up the goods as soon as possible. After that, they would leave here and happily receive a large commission.
Listening to the security company's report, Delsean's face looked very bad. Losing seven people and two-thirds of the supplies was a great blow to the morale.
"President Attard, I'm afraid that we can't continue with this mission. The two brothers are missing. We have to find them."
"President Attard, we also can't follow you. As for the five brothers, we have to try and find them."
