Chapter 3 Water

"Although instant noodles are not nutritious, they can fill their stomachs anyway, this time it's good, I haven't eaten or not, I don't know when it will be" Ding Cong became more and more tired as he walked, his mouth was dry, his stomach was empty, and his mouth kept muttering.

Although the non-stop words make the feeling of thirst more obvious, it is more comfortable than walking here silently, and it is also a kind of psychological adjustment.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ding Cong couldn't walk anymore, so he sat down so casually. "Fortunately, the temperature here is very comfortable, not hot or cold. Alas, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of watching it for a long time," Ding Cong raised his head again and looked at the gorgeous starry sky.

"Huh?" seemed to have found something, "How could this be?" Ding Cong subconsciously looked at his watch again.

The hands are still stuck at 17:37, and although the second hand is constantly fluttering, it is between the next and next second.

"The starry sky here hasn't moved? isn't this scientific?" he looked up in confusion and looked down at the starry sky above.

Looking up at the starry sky anywhere on the planet is not set in stone, because the earth is turning. The starry sky as I see it is moving at a slow pace, but not many people can notice it, after all, the change is too slow. But Ding Cong is different, he cares about the changes of things, or he is very good at discovering the changes of things and the laws behind them. It may also be due to the habit of professional research, Ding Cong likes to classify and segment things, and then compare them and observe the rules.

When he found out that his watch was broken, he began to perform a simple analysis of his hunger. Eat at 12:30 noon, don't exercise much in the afternoon, prepare instant noodles around 17:30, and then the pointer stays at 17:37, the current hunger is very uncomfortable, and the consumption of walking is not particularly large, that is to say, it has been four to five hours since I opened my eyes.

"Why haven't the stars in the sky shifted at all? With the horizon as a reference, it's impossible not to see the movement of the stars?" Ding Cong muttered to himself in a low voice, which made his newly relieved heart begin to feel restless again.

......

"Huh? I found out so quickly? This kid is not simple, not simple, haha. ”

"Isn't that normal?"

"Normal? How long did you find out?"

“...... , two days!"

"It's terrible, how long has this kid been here? ”

"It's great, let's see later, don't get distracted, just shoot when it's time to shoot. ”

"Got it, got it. ”

......

"What the hell is this place, am I really alive?" To be alive is for sure, and it can be reflected in the exhaustion, hunger, thirst, and so on, that you are still alive. Ding Cong slowly walked on the ground, subconsciously curled up his body, but immediately stretched out his body again, yes, in a short time Ding Cong calmed down. The unknown is terrifying, but it's much more fun to explore. Ding Cong has always advocated that the exploration of the unknown is the driving force for progress, and now that such an interesting thing has happened, there is no reason to feel afraid and helpless.

While the corners of his mouth rose slightly, it seemed that the fatigue of his body had been swept away, and his body was full of energy.

After thinking about "Gollum", Ding Cong, who was not yet fully excited, accepted the reality again. "My stomach is not full, and I don't have any water, how can I explore!" Ding Cong couldn't help but complain loudly, "This is too unfair!"

Before the shouting could completely disappear, a roar drifted into Ding Cong's ears.

Although the sound is far away and intermittent, it is difficult to tell where it is coming from, but it is not difficult to hear that it is the sound of a lot of water falling from a high place.

"Is there a waterfall in the distance?" Ding Cong's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously licked his lips, this is really a long drought and a rainstorm.

Water, the source of all things, where there is water, there is a high probability of food, and if it is really a waterfall, then there will be undulating terrain, that is to say, there will be a lot of changes in the seemingly flat terrain here, whether the change is interesting or not, as long as there is a change, there will be a turnaround!

Ding Cong sat up slowly, and began to seriously search for the direction where the voice came from.

The sound sounded a little ethereal, but it was supposed to come from the left. Ding Cong sat quietly for a while before walking slowly.

There is nothing to refer to here as a reference for time, only declining physical strength, a tired body, and a hot, dry throat from thirst.

With the slow pace of progress, the voice became clearer and clearer into Ding Cong's ears, and the light of hope slowly rose in his heart.

"Set yourself a small goal to find the source of your voice. Ding Cong said self-deprecating as he walked, and his hoarse voice was also a kind of comfort to the psyche.

I don't know how long it took, but the pace gradually slowed down, my body began to tremble, my lips were chapped and my throat was sore, and my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. "Hold on for a while, it's loud, rest when you get to the place, this place is weird, don't let it run, hold on for a while, hold on for a while, hold on to ......" Although I wanted to hold on, but I don't know how long the body couldn't bear it anymore, Ding Cong fell straight to the ground, and the slight breathing sound became the last insistence.

......

"Why are you tired? It's only been so long, why can't you hold on?"

"You can find out about him first. ”

"I still need you to remind me, I have investigated it just now, and excessive fatigue and lack of water are not a big deal. ”

"Water shortage? Not a big deal? How long has he been in?"

"It seems like it's been almost three days. ”

“...... , my dear junior brother, how long can ordinary people live without water?"

"Don't, senior brother, don't look at me like that! Oh, I know it's wrong! Don't do it yet! I know what to do, don't be angry!"

......

"Boom" thunder streaked across the sky, and a trace of icy rain fell.

Feeling the wetness between his lips and teeth, and the coldness on his body, Ding Cong slowly opened his eyes. In a groggy state, open your mouth and wait for the rain to fall. It took a while to come to my senses.

The lack of water eased a little, and my mind began to be active.

"It's a strange place, it rains when there are no clouds in the sky, and it's a thunderstorm. Ding Cong squinted at the starry sky.

"It's a monster when things are abnormal, who said that? Hey, it seems to be a little interesting. After smiling slightly, Ding Cong whispered in frustration, "Alas, the body can't bear it, it seems that it can't be done." ”

......

"What? Is he going to give up?"

"Look at it again, after so long observation, he doesn't look like a person who gives up so easily. ”

"He couldn't have found something, would he have said that?"

"Huh? He's really smart. ”

......

Ding Cong seemed to feel something, but it was too ethereal to see or grasp clearly. "Forget it, I'll figure it out" slowly stood up, moved his joints slightly, and walked forward after confirming that his condition was much better.

It's close to the roaring water, but it seems like a long time to get there. Ding Cong continued without the slightest hesitation.

......

"It's really good. ”

"I said, senior brother, since you admire him so much, why do you want to keep him here to suffer?

"What do you know, only the soul power that is forced out can be better grown. It's like you, it's obviously the best choice in all aspects, but you can't endure hardship, and your soul power can't be self-recognized. If it weren't for the empowerment and guidance given by the master at the end, you would have been reincarnated 800 times by now. ”

"Hey, hey, senior brother, we can't always talk about this, I'm the youngest!

"Hmph, it's good to know how to work hard. But this time you won't be the smallest, hey. ”

"Didn't the master say that he would no longer accept apprentices?"

"Well, I don't know the specific situation, anyway, this kid was chosen by the master himself. ”
