قسط 1: Keaton Survives Desert Abandonment After Archaeological Excavation Tragedy

1

In the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Taichi Hiraga-Keaton visits an archaeological site at the Taklamakan Desert led by Professor Takakura. While touring the archaeological site with Assistant Professor Yamamoto, Keaton momentarily meets Karim Muhammad, the Sheikh of the Uyghurs who allowed the excavation to be possible, as well as Abdullah Abbas, Muhammad's problem son who despises outsiders setting foot on the land. Professor Collins and Mr. Harney disagree with Takakura wanting to excavate an ancient wall, in which Keaton and Yamamoto soon learn from Muhammad that it is a sacred monument of the legendary hero Sadiq. Muhammad soon dies after overwhelmingly witnessing the monument being excavated on Takakura's orders despite Keaton's plea. Seeking revenge for his father's death, Abbas leaves Keaton, Takakura, Yamamoto, Collins and Harney in the middle of the desert. Keaton puts his survival skills to the test, digging a hole in a dune in order to provide shade, setting up a trap in order to catch a desert rat for food and creating a latrine using six waterproof bags in order to gather clean water. While leading them to safety, Keaton guarantees the others that Abbas will not pursue them if they make it out of the desert alive, according to the story of Sadiq. After four days in the desert within two miles towards the southern road, Abbas is surprised to see Keaton still living. Abbas orders his men to give Keaton some water, honoring him as a legendary hero. (Source: Wikipedia)
