Chapter 402: Red Flame Desert

"How can this be? Qi Tongwei is my husband, how can you treat him like this?" Liang Lu's heart was filled with anger and pain. She could not accept that her father and Gao Yuliang made such a decision.

After Qi Tongwei learned the news, he fell into a deep dilemma. On the one hand, he understood the concerns of Liang Qunfeng and Gao Yuliang, who were concerned about their own safety. But on the other hand, he could not accept such an extreme approach. He knew that if he really did this, the consequences would be disastrous.

Qi Tongwei hurriedly found Liang Qunfeng and Gao Yuliang, trying to stop their plan. "Secretary Liang, Teacher Gao, I can't let you do this. I understand your concerns, but I can't escape in this way. I'm going to the Sahara Desert, and I believe I can overcome difficulties and realize my own value." Qi Tongwei's eyes were full of determination.

Liang Qunfeng looked at Qi Tongwei, feeling helpless. "Tongwei, you don't know how dangerous the Sahara Desert is. The environment there is harsh and the conditions are difficult. If you go there, you may not be able to come back." Gao Yuliang also advised, "Tongwei, you have to think it over carefully. This is not a joke."

But Qi Tongwei still insisted on his decision. "Secretary Liang, Teacher Gao, I know you are doing this for my own good. But I cannot back down. I cannot choose to escape because I am afraid of difficulties. I want to go to the Sahara Desert and contribute my own strength to the development of the country." Qi Tongwei's words revealed a stubbornness and courage.

Liang Lu also came to them, she looked at Qi Tongwei with tears in her eyes. "Tongwei, you can't go. It's too dangerous there, I can't lose you." Qi Tongwei gently held Liang Lu's hand and said softly: "Lulu, I know you are worried about me. But this is my responsibility, I can't escape. I believe I can come back safely."

At this difficult time, Qi Tongwei felt extremely overwhelmed. On the one hand, he had to face the decisions of the bigwigs in Beijing, and on the other hand, he had to appease the concerns of his family and friends. He knew that his choice would affect the fate of many people.

Qi Tongwei began to think seriously about his future. He knew that the Sahara Desert was a huge challenge, but he also believed that it was an opportunity to realize his own value. He decided to face this challenge bravely and live up to everyone's expectations.

He began to actively prepare for his trip to the Sahara Desert. He collected a lot of information about the desert and learned about the climate, environment and resources there. He also communicated with some experienced people to learn the skills of surviving and working in the desert.

During this process, Qi Tongwei also felt the support from his family and friends. Although Liang Lu was full of worries, she still chose to support Qi Tongwei's decision. She knew that Qi Tongwei was a responsible person and he would not give up his mission easily. Gao Yuliang and Liang Qunfeng were also silently preparing everything for Qi Tongwei. They hoped that Qi Tongwei would be safe in the Sahara Desert.

As the departure date draws closer, Qi Tongwei's mood becomes more and more complicated. He is full of expectations and worries. He doesn't know what kind of difficulties and challenges he will encounter in the Sahara Desert, but he believes that as long as he has firm beliefs and moves forward courageously, he will be able to overcome all difficulties.

He stood in front of the window, looking at the familiar street scene in Handong, his heart full of attachment and reluctance to leave this land. He knew that once he set out on the journey to the Sahara Desert, everything in the future would be full of unknowns and challenges.

Qi Tongwei began to recall his past in Handong. Those days of fighting for reform and those moments of working together with the people now flashed in his mind like a movie. He remembered his firm belief and fearless courage. At that time, he was willing to pay any price for the prosperity and stability of Handong. However, now he has to leave this familiar land and go to a strange and difficult place, which makes him feel helpless and sad.

He thought of all the preparations Liang Qunfeng and Gao Yuliang had made for him. Their care and support made him feel warm, but also stressed. He knew that they hoped he would be safe in the Sahara Desert, but he himself was not sure if he could do so. The difficulties and challenges in the desert were beyond his imagination, and he didn't know if he had enough ability to cope with them.

Qi Tongwei thought of Liang Lu again. Her tears and worries always lingered in his heart. He knew that he owed Liang Lu, and he didn't want her to worry about him. But he had no choice, he had to go to the Sahara Desert, this was his responsibility and mission. He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that he could return safely and give Liang Lu a warm hug.

The day of departure finally arrived. Qi Tongwei dragged his heavy luggage and stood in the airport lobby, looking at Liang Qunfeng, Gao Yuliang, Liang Lu and others who came to see him off, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Liang Qunfeng walked up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tongwei, take good care of yourself when you get to the desert. We will wait for you here." Gao Yuliang also reminded him, "Tongwei, don't be afraid when you encounter difficulties, and believe in your own abilities." Liang Lu hugged Qi Tongwei tightly and burst into tears, "Tongwei, you must come back safely, I'll wait for you."

Qi Tongwei held back his tears and nodded. He knew that he couldn't let them down. He turned around, boarded the plane, and flew towards the Sahara Desert.

As the plane flew through the clouds, Qi Tongwei felt increasingly depressed. He didn't know what fate awaited him. He looked at the white clouds outside the window, feeling confused and uneasy. He began to think about his plans in the desert, how he would deal with the harsh environment, how he would carry out mining, and how he would ensure his own safety. These questions weighed on his mind like a heavy stone, making him feel breathless.

After a long flight, Qi Tongwei finally arrived at the Sahara Desert. As soon as he got off the plane, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The boundless desert was like a yellow ocean, and the scorching sun was ruthlessly burning the earth. The howling wind rolled up the dust all over the sky, making it almost impossible to open your eyes. Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, feeling the heat and dryness of the desert. He knew that his real challenge had begun.

In the desert, Qi Tongwei faced unprecedented difficulties. High temperatures, lack of water, wind and sand and other problems always troubled him. He had to work under the scorching sun every day, enduring the heat and fatigue.
