Chapter 577: Extreme Drought
Chapter 577: Extreme Drought (Page 1/1)
The teammates looked at each other, this was a good opportunity to gain experience, but Aticha was level 4, so he should have said it first.
Ati looked at the hall that was more than ten meters deep and divided into several floors, and thought for a while: "I don't know if there is anyone below, why don't you shout a few times first, throw a stone down, and test it?"
He Ningyan looked at him coldly, and then turned around: "Go!"
"What?" Aticha blinked, was he wrong?
He Ningyan found another place nearby, it should be a house on the top floor, there was only one floor left, and the others were all buried under the yellow sand. Entering through the glassless window, there were many desks and office chairs, covered in a thick layer of dust, and the sand of the carpeted floor was up to the top of the feet.
He Ningyan put down the bag first, turned the office around, and took the two people to the corridor escape passage and opened the door to look inside. The stairs below have been blocked by sand. Returning to his teammates, he picked up his backpack: "Here first." ”
The place to live should be the archives room, which is the most inconspicuous and secluded place in the entire office. Not even a window, just a door. Half stuffed into this room, half under an office and covered with broken cardboard.
When his teammates were busy, He Ningyan looked around and suggested from time to time how things should be placed.
Soon settled down, the camping mats were spread out on the ground, and everyone made it.
"It's hot!" the teammates took off their coats one after another, wearing only sports short-sleeved undershirts.
He Ningyan also took it off, but tied the two sleeves of his coat around his waist, he just came here, and he didn't know what the situation was. If something emergency happens, it doesn't matter if you take your coat on or not. When the teammates saw it, they did the same.
The entire floor area is also large, with thousands of square meters, and it is not amazing, similar to other remnants of ruins. The roof is fine, it has not collapsed, and it can shelter from the wind and sun.
Aticha cautiously asked, "Did I say something wrong in the place ahead just now?"
He Ningyan asked rhetorically: "What if there is an unknown deadly creature down there?"
If you shout or throw down a stone, you may not attract the same kind, but something that feeds on humans, and it is too late to escape.
Aticha finally understood: "So you don't choose to go there either, even though it's bigger, it's darker, and the temperature is lower." But you have to use a rope to go down, and if there is danger, escape from suffering. ”
Children can be taught, and there is progress. The corners of He Ningyan's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the watch he was wearing in his left hand, it was already noon: "Everyone eat a little, but try to be economical, there may be nothing to eat around here." Only when we starve to death will there be a supply point to eat. ”
In the afternoon, it's the hottest time of the day. Although he was hiding in the house, waves of heat poured in from the glassless windows in all directions, and the heat was so hot that people couldn't breathe.
"I'm dying of heat!" Muhammad simply took off his shirt, shirtless, and fanned the wind with a piece of broken cardboard, but beads of sweat still kept pouring out.
"The heart is calm and naturally cool!" He Ningyan opened another bottle of water, and couldn't help but drink it. If you don't drink it, you are very likely to suffer from heat stroke, and heat radiation sickness is no joke. The little water taken out this time has to be calculated, a total of 27 bottles of water have been taken, and this is the second bottle of water, and everything will last until tomorrow morning.
In the desert, it's so hot during the day, and when the sun goes down, it immediately takes a sharp turn. "Wear a cotton jacket in the morning, wear yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove at night", but unfortunately there is only a bonfire, no watermelon.
Next to the archive room, it should be a utility room and a pantry, there are more than ten square meters, and there is only one door, which is very closed, and after the bonfire is lit in the middle, the fire cannot be seen from the outside.
"It's cold enough!" the teammates put on their clothes and draped blankets over their bodies to warm up by the campfire.
The wood is very easy to obtain, there are many desks and sideboards in the office next to it, and there are fire axes in the hallway, just take an axe and split the cabinet. After comparing the table, keep it for the future and slowly chop it.
Inside, the teammates begin to discuss why the world is the way it is.
It seems that the people here should move out at once, and if they move slowly, they won't leave so many desks and chairs behind. But computers, photocopiers, telephones, fax machines and other office machines are gone.
He Ningyan was also draped in a quilt, sitting on the floor mat here in the door frame, paying attention to the movement outside. The first night should be a little more peaceful, but avoid accidents.
The night passed quietly, and in the morning, while the sun was not yet fully out, He Ningyan took two teammates out to see the plastic box buried in the sand. There were no bowls, and I found a few small plastic boxes in the office for stationery, so I used them.
When I opened the plastic wrap and looked at it, I immediately frowned, there was no water. I buried it before noon yesterday, and if it was a little humid at night, I could have a little water, but there was not a drop of it. The drought here is as dry as the driest part of the Taklamakan Desert.
"What now?" Ati looked at He Ningyan: "Do you want to dig deeper anymore?"
He Ningyan looked up at the sun that was almost nine o'clock, the sun was red and big, just like the rising sun, but it was already emitting afternoon heat: "Go back first." ”
Returning to the place where he slept, He Ningyan turned over the thinnest sheet and draped it over his head. From now on, save water, even sweat. I have to start dressing up like Arabs, so that the sweat doesn't come out at once.
After the water I drank yesterday turned into sweat, it didn't take long for the sweat to evaporate, and then I didn't even sweat anymore. When the temperature dropped, the sweat came out again. In this way, it is easy to lack water in the body.
Six people, draped in sheets, really looked like Arabs.
He Ningyan exhaled slightly, with a little helplessness: "This time we encountered an extremely arid climate, if it was an ordinary desert, there would be some water, but today I went to see it, there is no water." Only very experienced people can find underground rivers by looking at maps or relying on legends. Otherwise, no matter how deep you dig to the middle of the building, you may not be able to find water. ”
The whole world is like being buried by a huge earthmoving cart loaded with sand, falling sand. What were once land and rivers are now at a depth of seventy or eighty meters from the surface of the sand.
"I don't know if there is anyone else in this world!" Aticha's voice was soft, because the world was quiet, very quiet, even if there was a breeze outside to blow the sand and the sound of the sand flowing, it could be heard clearly.
"I don't even know if there's anything alive. Joseph said what everyone thought.
He Ningyan said: "I hope that there is nothing alive, but unfortunately in such an environment, there are still living creatures that can survive." ”
Suddenly, the sand on the ground jumped up like fried beans in an iron pot, not much, but only a slight tremor, and Muhammad asked: "Is it an earthquake?"
