Chapter 792: The Lost World
The swaying firelight swayed gently with the breeze, Jiang Xiong skillfully roasted the gerbils and other ingredients he caught, the animals in the desert were the biggest threat to them because of the lack of water resources, but animals still had an innate advantage over plants. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because they are living creatures that can run and move, there are actually thousands of animal species living in the desert, and there are many that can be eaten, almost all of which have their own unique survival techniques for keeping water and avoiding the heat, and most of them only move for a few hours after dawn or sunset.
The rest of the time they hide in cool, shady spots, and only a few birds are active during the day, but they also know how to rest in the shade from time to time. The rest of the animals are mostly only found at dawn and dusk, so it is not possible to encounter a poisonous animal such as a rattlesnake in the desert during the day.
Sand foxes will choose to burrow in the ground, sleep in the nest, and come out to forage at night. The storm just now frightened all the animals that were hiding, and the place where they lived was also devastated, so Zheng Xiong and the others returned with a full load as soon as they went out.
The meat on the fire rack is shiny, and in the desert, where water is desperately scarce, food without salt can keep them afloat for longer.
Jiang Xiong tore half of the meat and handed it to Zhai Jing, and gave the rest to Professor Hu.
Zheng Hu handed the baked food to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng looked at Wang Yu, who was still unconscious, "Leave something to eat for Wang Yu, he needs to replenish his physical strength the most now." ”
After eating, Zhang Feng handed them the water bottles that had not been used up before, and everyone took turns to take a sip. Another bottle of water was gone, which meant they had to find the car as soon as possible, and there were supplies on board for them to get out of the desert. Zhang Feng didn't know the bottom in his heart, and it seemed that this trip was too unsmooth.
The desert after the storm, the deathly silence, everyone's strings that had been stretched for a day seemed to be about to relax, Zhai Jing took out some powder from his bag and sprinkled it three times along the place where everyone was sitting, "It's time for rattlesnakes and poisonous scorpions to move at night, let's be careful." ”
"Zheng Hu, the two of us are staring at the middle of the night, Deng Liang, Jiang Xiong, and the two of you are staring at the middle of the night. This place always made Zhang Feng a little uneasy. "Okay, you guys rest first, let's go to the side and get some firewood, I'm afraid this night will not be enough. Deng Liang said and motioned Jiang Xiong to go out with his eyes.
At this time, Wang Yu woke up in a daze, "Is there any water, is there still water, give me a drink." Zhang Feng handed him half a bottle of water angrily and funny, "You kid has picked up a bargain, we still have several people sharing a bottle of water, you save me some, don't drink it in one gulp." ”
Before the words fell, I only heard Wang Yu cooing a few sips, and the bottle had bottomed out. Another bottle of water was consumed. Zhang Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "You can rest a little longer, it'll be fine tomorrow morning. We've got a few of us staring at it tonight. ”
"Do you want to eat something?" Deng Liang asked Wang Yudao. Wang Yu shook his head and fell asleep again. "Let's take a break and change them later." Zhang Feng tightened his clothes and leaned against the fire and closed his eyes, and he didn't know if he was asleep, Deng Liang looked at Zhai Jing and them, they were already breathing evenly, it seemed that they were asleep, and he thought that he would sleep when Zheng Hu and them came back.
"Do you think we can still go out?" Deng Liang asked Jiang Xiong. Jiang Xiong smiled bitterly, even though he had experienced a big danger again, but when there was no equipment and supplies like this, he had never encountered it, "In this situation now, no one can say, there are too many unknown dangers, we have no supplies, and the water is almost gone." I don't know which direction the car is in. Hearing Jiang Xiong say this, Deng Liang didn't bother to ask again, hurriedly picked up firewood and walked back.
Zheng Hu saw the two of them come back, put down his clothes and lay down. The storm brought disaster as well as beauty, and the desert was swept by the wind in layers, wiping away the original footprints as if it had never been passed by. All the clouds in the sky were carried away by the wind, leaving a starry sky that shone on the desert.
Jiang Xiong didn't know where to find a curling cigarette, approached the fire and took a sip, and the cigarette was lit.
"Where did it come from?" Deng Liang saw that his eyes lit up, Jiang Xiong smiled and said: "Last time, Zhai Jing's treasure chest was rolled with paper for me, I don't know what she put in it, it tastes the same as cigarettes, it's particularly refreshing, take two sips?" Jiang Xiong handed the cigarette to Deng Liang.
Deng Liang took it and took a deep breath, slowly spit it out, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, after coming out for so long, nothing was found, the car was lost, the food was gone, and the road could not be found. I don't know when I'll be back in the car and back home.
After smoking, the two of them lay down and looked at the starry sky, chatting with each other and chatting about some inconsequential words, and it didn't take long for the eyelids to become heavier and heavier, and slowly there was no sound.
"Fanfan! Be careful behind!" Zhang Feng looked at the corpses that were surging behind him, waved the torch in his hand behind Bufan, and threw out a cold cigarette. While hurriedly stomping his feet and trampling on the corpses around him who tried to crawl on him. There are all directions, there is no way out, Zhang Feng is anxious, and he takes the extraordinary to the entrance of the cave.
Zhang Feng climbed up and prepared to block the entrance of the cave, but found that there was no extraordinary shadow, Zhang Feng looked, Bufan did not follow him up, only to see Bufan standing below, let the corpse slowly crawl all over his body, slowly from the mouth, nose kept popping out of the corpse, Bufan looked at Zhang Feng smiled and lit a dynamite bag.
With a "boom", the firelight rushed up, and the fire burned to Zhang Feng's face.
Zhang Feng suddenly opened his eyes and woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a firelight in his eyes, and he quickly stood up in fright, it turned out to be a fire, and looked at the extraordinary person who was sleeping soundly. Zhang Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, it turned out to be a nightmare.
At this time, Zheng Hu also woke up and asked, "What's wrong?" "It's okay, I had a nightmare, it's time for the two of us to change shifts." Zhang Feng shook his head and replied to Zheng Hu, seeing that the two of them were already asleep, fortunately Zhai Jing sprinkled the medicinal powder, otherwise something would really crawl over, and it would be troublesome to bite anyone.
The sky slowly brightened, after a night's rest, everyone's energy recovered well, Wang Yu also woke up, moved, and the wound was almost healed, thanks to Zhang Feng's golden finger. Otherwise, even if Wang Yu's little life is explained here, Wang Yu's health is better, his stomach function has also recovered, and he has been asking if he has anything to eat. 、
Jiang Xiong roasted all the things he caught yesterday, everyone sat around the fire and ate them separately, and after eating and resting for a while, Zhang Feng and his party packed up their belongings and left the ruins.
During the day, the desert heat was rolling, from far to near, as far as the eye could see, stretching for thousands of miles full of yellow sand, occasionally one or two dry hills appeared, and the wind-blown sand covered all their footprints in a short time, even if you look back, it is difficult to tell the way from which you came.
The sun baked the whole sand, the sand was all hot and bright, and there seemed to be a blue lake in front of him in a trance, Deng Liang was the first to find it, shouting: "Look, everyone, there is a water source in front!" Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly walked towards the lake.
"It's too hot, it's too hot, I'm finally alive now, I'm going to go down and take a shower. Deng Liang walked forward excitedly, "Let's wash the water after we drink it, otherwise we won't all drink your bath water." Zhai Jing retorted. "I'll wash over there, and you drink with confidence. Deng Liang felt that he couldn't wait, and he didn't want to take off his clothes and plunge into it directly.
Immediately arrived at the lake, Deng Liang threw his shoes and prepared to plunge in, "Wait! Zhai Jing stopped. "What's wrong with this?" Deng Liang's face was full of unhappiness, thinking to himself, this Zhai Jing is afraid that I will wash the water dirty and affect her to drink water, don't let me wash it, don't think about drinking it well, Deng Liang said while kicking the sand with his foot.
Who knew that the silk lines on the water surface did not move, and the sand seemed to have never fallen, Zhai Jing walked over and observed it carefully, "You see, this is a water source, if it is drinkable, there should be animals coming, but there is no trace here, and there is no grass around, and there are generally plants near the water source." ”
Saying that, Zhai Jing took out a palm-sized cloth from his bag and threw it down, and sure enough, the water marks under the cloth were still not moving, but the cloth was gone.
"Do you want to go down and take a shower, I can't guarantee you're still coming up. Zhai Jing looked at Deng Liang. Deng Liang saw this situation, how dare he take a bath, and hurriedly put on his shoes, "What kind of lake is so strange?" Zhang Feng looked at Zhai Jing.
"It's also the first time I've seen it, as if there is no life, but it can devour all life. It's weird. Zhai Jing also wondered, everyone thought that they had found a water source and hurried over, but it was not, seeing a pool of emerald green lake, but there was no water to drink, this feeling was too tormenting.
Swallowed a dry throat, "Let's go quickly, don't let anyone accidentally fall, you can't save it." Zhang Feng said and told everyone to hurry up. He looked at Professor Hu and asked, "Which direction are we going?"
Professor Hu looked at the position of the sun and motioned for Zhang Feng to lead everyone to continue walking to the right front. Zhang Feng thought to himself, how can he find a way out before the sun goes down, so that he can find the car, and everyone can have hope of survival. Otherwise, I won't be able to go out tonight, and I'll have to spend the night in the desert again, and this kind of night is really panicking.
I didn't care that everyone didn't eat, I drank a bottle of water separately, and went on the road again, walking for about 3 hours, Wang Yu said, "No, I'm so hungry, we can't go out, you guys go, I want to take a break." At this time, as long as one person gives up, everyone's hearts will be scattered, Zhang Feng looked at Wang Yu seriously, "No, you have to go together, you can't be left alone." ”
Wang Yu really couldn't hold on, Zhang Feng knew that it was not a way to go on like this, so he asked Zheng Hu to take some canned food and rest in place for half an hour, everyone replenished some physical strength, the sun was still so hot, dizzy, it was easy to get heat stroke if it went on like this.
At this time, you can occasionally see a few birds flying by in the desert, Professor Hu said: "There should be a water source not far ahead, don't give up, you can find a way out immediately." ”
