The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 240 The secret in the yellow sand

When Hermione woke up the next day, she found herself lying in Tom's arms. His breathing was steady and long, spraying on the back of Hermione's neck, which was warm and also brought warmth to her dry skin. A touch of warmth came.

"Get up," Hermione turned over, facing Tom, first poked the soft flesh under his ribs, and then reached out and pinched his nose.

After being teased like this, Tom woke up. It was indeed a wonderful start to the day to see Hermione's smiling face when I opened my eyes. The two looked at each other like this. Tom noticed that Hermione's lips seemed to be dry and cracked in the desert sand, so he moisturized her lips thoughtfully.

After moisturizing, both of them laughed.

Others are already awake. When Tom and Hermione came outside, Dr. Hunter was standing outside the house smoking with his student Alan.

Hearing the footsteps, both of them stopped talking and turned to look over.

Tom was shocked when he saw Dr. Hunter, because it was difficult to connect the depressed and depressed uncle in front of him with the high-spirited doctor before.

Will's death hit him hard. Will was his first disciple. Hal Hunter didn't know how much effort he put into him, but he ended up being destroyed in this ancient city. Regardless of the personal feelings between the two, Will's death also ruined Dr. Hunter's future.

Seeing that it was Tom coming, Dr. Hunter cheered up and bowed to thank him. Apparently Allen had already told Dr. Hunter what happened yesterday. With Dr. Hunter's wisdom, he could naturally guess that there must be some connection between the strange dog that saved him before and the young man in front of him.

After Tom and Hermione woke up, the remaining members of the expedition could gather together and sit down for a meeting.

Their top priority is to count the supplies they brought out when they fled yesterday. In the desert, it is impossible to live without supplies.

"All the camels have run away." The old man from Eushad said a very bad news. Without camels, it would be impossible for the remaining people to walk out of the desert with all their beards and tails intact.

"Call for help." Dr. Hunter took out his satellite phone, but found that the always reliable satellite phone failed here. Only then did he remember that Alan had told him before that all the electronic equipment here had failed.

"Electronic equipment malfunctioned..." Hermione felt something strange, a feature that reminded her of Hogwarts.

The seven people also discovered an even worse fact: they lost not only their transportation tools, but also the supplies on the camels' backs. When they fled yesterday, not everyone had a backpack. Currently, the seven people only had four backpacks in their hands, and most of the bags contained clothing and other items.

The remnants of the expedition were in dire need of fresh water and food.

Tom is also a bit big-headed. Yesterday he took Hermione and ran away, but he didn't even take his backpack! But Hermione smiled at Tom, walked to the four bags, took out her own bag, and then took out Tom's small backpack from her own bag.

She shook the backpack in her hand proudly and said happily: "I took your backpack with me when I ran out!"

Tom: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

You can always trust Hermione Granger.

He took his backpack and took out a lot of supplies in front of everyone.

Mineral water, lunch meat, brewed rice, dehydrated vegetables, solid fuel...

When he took out a large pack of toilet paper, Allen couldn't help it anymore, "Are you Doraemon?" He said what most people were thinking. 【Note 1】

These supplies from Tom solved an urgent need. After some discussion, everyone decided to search for the remaining camels in the city, and then venture to the place where they camped yesterday to see if they could retrieve some supplies.

There was no dispute about the first half of the process, but after that there were slight differences. Mainly because Alyosha and Jusha both felt that they should evacuate the ancient city immediately after finding the camels and supplies, but Allen was a little unwilling: he finally found this ruins, narrowly escaped the pursuit of magical animals, and ended up empty-handed. Return?

Who knows if we can come in next time? He may have studied an ancient Eastern text called "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring". The fisherman found a village that was hundreds of years ago, but he couldn't find it the next time he looked for it. This story had such a strong sense of déjà vu that when Alyosha said, "Anyway, the ancient city is here, we can find it next time we come," he mustered up the courage to firmly object.

Just when they were noisy and blushing, Sara shouted something to attract their attention.

"What is that?" she shouted, pointing at the yellow sand.

Everyone was attracted to her and took out their binoculars to check.

The center of the ruins of this city is very strange. It is a large sandy land, probably 3 kilometers wide. It was dim when they came here last night and they didn't even notice what was in the sand. The storm has stopped today, the sun is shining and visibility is good. This made Sara discover something unusual in the sand: there seemed to be something in it, but it was too far away for them to see clearly.

Through the telescope, they found a stone slab in the middle of the sand.

Allen squatted on the edge of the sand, grabbed a handful of sand, and let the sand slide down his hands.

"Very fine sand." He stood up, took a stone, and threw it on the sand. The stone sank in immediately.

"I can't get through it..." He muttered. If a person steps on this kind of sand, it will sink in immediately.

"Quicksand." The old man Yushadu knew what it was after just one look.

"But what happened to those stone slabs?" Sarah asked, "Since it is quicksand, how can these stone slabs float on it?"

Stone slabs can float on quicksand naturally because there is something underneath to support them, so the structure of this sandy land is probably like a large bowl. There is a pillar in the middle of the bowl, with stone slabs on the pillar and sand on the side of the pillar. This design must be to protect those stone slabs so that others cannot easily approach them.

"The stone slab was protected with great effort..." The expedition team suddenly became interested. You know, this is not the protection of digging a hole and adding a lock, but the protection of using three thousand meters of yellow sand as an isolation!

In ancient times, this was simply an unsolvable method.

"But people in the city want to get close to the stone slab, what should they do?" Sara thought of a very practical question.

"There must be a special route or mechanism." Dr. Hunter became more energetic and his brain was running rapidly. "Look for anything special nearby..."

"No need." Tom interrupted, "We can fly over."

The Doraemon comic began to be serialized in the "Elementary School 1-4th Graders" magazine in January 1970 and became very popular. By 1993, Doraemon was already a world-renowned comic.
