After packing his things, Chu An put his bag on his back, looked up at the night sky, discerned the direction from the faint starlight, and began to march south.

Just a few steps away,

A slight cat meow came from behind him.

"Meow~~~"

He turned around and looked sideways, and the little sand cat with a head and tail 40 cm long was galloping in the direction where Chu An was.

Jumping up, the little sand cat jumped into Chu An's arms, stuck out his tongue, and meowed at him.

"Want to come with me?"

Chu An looked at it happily, the little sand cat seemed to understand, nodded, and changed to a comfortable position to lie in his arms.

That little appearance is simply cute.

"This little guy is relying on me. ”

Chu An shook his head and smiled, the little joy that could not be concealed in his tone, touched its little head, pinched its little cheek again, and then put it in the backpack behind him: "Okay, let's go." ”

The little sand cat nodded ignorantly, and then shrank his head and hid in his backpack, popping up from time to time, and his big eyes were very curious to look at the drone in the sky.

A cute little sand cat added a lot of color to Chu An's lonely journey.

He may understand why contemporary people want to have kittens and puppies so much.

……

……

The sky gradually brightened, and a fiery red morning glow slowly rose from the east.

The glow shone on Chu An's side, stretching his shadow long, long.

Good luck seems to run out at once,

Depart from the dawn break.

Along the way, for several hours, Chu An didn't gain anything at all, only the endless yellow sand and the kettle that was gradually bottoming out.

Time is ticking by, and the warmest time of the day is approaching.

Chu An leaned against a stone wall that could block the sun.

"Little one, this is the last bit of water we have left. ”

After Chu An drank the last sip of water, he set aside half of the kettle lid, put it in front of the little sand cat, stroked its fur, and looked at the yellow sand in the distance, his expression was very complicated, and his mouth was slightly open.

The system gives him a judgment of the state: moderate dehydration, slight weakness.

What this means, Chu An knows very well.

If life has a countdown, then it is now in the countdown.

How long this countdown is, he doesn't know.

It could be three hours, it could be five hours, but at most it would definitely not exceed twelve hours.

Chu An felt that with his current condition, he would definitely not be able to last 12 hours.

In three hours at most, he would fall into a state of stupor, then faint in the sand, quietly waiting for death.

"Meow Meow Meow ~~~"

The little sand cat licked the lid of the kettle, shook his head, and was very happy, it turned out that it felt so good to be a shovel officer!

"It's heartless. ”

Chu An pinched its cheek and showed a wry smile, and then said to the camera: "Friends, it's time for us to go, we can't rest today."

My physical condition can no longer be delayed, and today is different from yesterday.

You can only set off against the scorching sun, and if you can find a water source, there is still a chance of life.

Waiting is undoubtedly a slow death.

Everyone, bless me~"

His physical condition, he knew, could not rest, and once he rested, that drowsy state would come faster.

Chu An needs to find a water source while he is still sane, which will be his hope of survival.

"Master Chu, or give up. ”

"Don't you have that emergency device?"

"Yes, you're already very good, give up. ”

"If it goes on like this, something will really happen. ”

His mental outlook is getting worse and worse, and he is talking less and less, and the audience sees it in their eyes, hurts in their hearts, and is very uncomfortable.

"Emergency distress device?"

Chu An smiled and raised his watch, "This is an ordinary tactical watch, the water meter with the emergency distress function has been thrown by me in the hotel." ”

He knew very well that man could not leave a way out for himself, and once he had a way out, he would lack reverence for nature.

Through the last time, he has realized the disadvantages of this auxiliary tool, so this time he started the live broadcast, and the watch given by Nanxiang Aviation Leasing has been thrown into the hotel by him.

", Master Chu, are you really here?"

Chu An didn't care at all, and smiled freely: "In this kind of place, it's useless to wear it, they can't catch up."

Instead of relying on external help, it is better to save yourself.

Besides, this is a live broadcast teaching of wilderness survival.

If you hang up halfway, that's fine, so as not to mislead people's children. ”

……

……

Two hours later,

Taklamakan Desert.

The last piece of cistanche,

Everything that can get water has been eaten.

Chu An squinted slightly, his posture was no longer upright, but he needed to rely on a wooden stick to support his progress, and the whole person became extremely weak, even his forehead no longer sweated, and his breathing could only rely on his chapped lips.

The period of weakness came sooner than he expected.

He couldn't feel the presence of his limbs anymore, he was moving forward with all his will, and he didn't know how long he could hold on.

The mood of the audience in the live broadcast room has also become extremely heavy, with more than 9 million online people, and only a few barrages, as if they are all robots.

Chu An hadn't spoken for an hour.

Another twenty minutes passed,

He pulled out a smile with difficulty, looked up at the camera, and was ready to start explaining the aftermath.

However, the little sand cat in the backpack suddenly jumped out, its tail wrapped around Chu An's calf, and then rushed to the north, turning around three times and meowing.

"Following you?"

Chu An frowned slightly, without the slightest hesitation, and followed closely with staggering steps.

Although the direction deviated from his original plan, he had no choice.

After 300 meters, I climbed over a small sand dune.

The little sand cat stood at the top of the dune, very anxious, and turned his head to look at Chu An, as if urging.

"Your uncle, don't rush. ”

The severe lack of water had already dragged this steel man down, and Chu An could only share his limbs, step by step, and climb the sand dunes with difficulty.

Chu An, who was standing at the top of the sand dune, his mouth was slightly open, his eyes were full of shock, he was already stunned by the scene ahead.

At this moment, an ancient poem can best express his feelings: "The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." ”

A huge green forest stands with a grove of date palms, the breeze gently blows the branches, and the sparkling water surface looms.

If Chu An is not dazzled, this is a desert oasis.

"Friends, am I dreaming?oasis, a real desert oasis, this is not a mirage, but a real desert oasis. ”

Chu An was so excited that he couldn't speak a little, his feet slipped, and he rolled down directly from the top of the sand dune.

He has always been calm and calm, even if he rolls down the sand dunes at this time, he can't help but cheer.

In front of the imminent lack of water and death, a pool of spring water and green trees suddenly appear, and whoever you are, you will also cry out in surprise.

It's not water, it's hope, it's life.
