Chapter 550: Desert Night

"Brother Gao, we've been walking for half a day, can we rest for a while?" Chen Xiang said weakly.

"Hold on a little longer, it's lukewarm, and we can discern the direction, and when it's completely dark, we can rest for a long time. Gao Xiaoleng replied calmly.

There is about more than an hour from dusk to night, this is the most stable time in the desert, and it is also the best opportunity to hurry, Gao Xiaoleng and others rushed for more than 100 miles in this more than an hour's time, everyone basically used secular light skills to hurry, and when it was completely dark, everyone was all out of breath and sweating profusely.

Gao Xiaoleng asked everyone to rest next to a sand pile, the sore back was very comfortable to lean on the sand pile, as if they were doing a massage, and then everyone drank a few sips of water and ate some dry food, which was the most beautiful moment of the day.

The night in the desert is very cold, the dry cold is really terrible, and the wind in the desert night is also very strong, everyone is leaning in the direction of the shelter of the huge sand pile, but the temperature of the sand pile is also rapidly decreasing, it is estimated that in the middle of the night, people will freeze to death here.

I didn't expect the temperature difference between day and night in the desert to be so big, fortunately, the moon rose, Gao Xiaoleng asked everyone to rest as soon as possible, because they had to hurry in the middle of the night, otherwise if they really fell asleep, I'm afraid they wouldn't want to wake up again tomorrow.

After all, Gao Xiaoleng and they are too sleepy, I'm afraid they really fell asleep, and even if they were frozen to death, they wouldn't be able to wake up.

Everyone also began to breathe deeply as much as possible, and silently ran the beating exercises in the body, so that they could resist a certain amount of cold.

Everyone is resting while cultivating like this, and the time is also in the middle of the night, the deep night in this desert is really cold, and what is even more terrifying is that the air is still dry in such a cold way, it can be seen that there should have been no rain here for a long time.

Some of them quietly opened the bamboo tube and drank a few sips, but those people were surprised to find that there was much less water in the bamboo tube.

Among these people who secretly drank water was Zhang Xiaoqian, who immediately reported the discovery.

"Report to Boss Gao, there is a lot less water in my bamboo tube, I want to know the water in your bamboo tube. Zhang Xiaoqian asked very seriously.

Gao Xiaoleng opened his bamboo tube and found that the water in the bamboo tube was really only half a bucket less, it seems that they just endured it and didn't drink it, and the water would automatically volatilize before noon tomorrow at most.

"We don't have a skin bag for freshwater, so let's drink it before dawn, and then throw away all the supplies we don't need as soon as possible, travel lightly, and cross this terrible desert of death as soon as possible. Gao Xiaoleng took the lead in drinking a breath of fresh water.

Originally, everyone wanted to save a little precious fresh water for life-saving drink, but looking at the evaporation speed of the bamboo tube in front of them, it was useless not to drink it, so it was better to drink it happily.

Everyone eats dry food and drinks fresh water, and there is not much left of their own half a bucket of fresh water under everyone's eating and drinking, and there is only a little bit of fresh water bottom, I am afraid that the next time I open the bamboo tube, I will find that there is not a drop of water left, so everyone simply drank all the fresh water and threw away the stupid bamboo tube.

Eat and drink enough, the moonlight is thick, Gao Xiaoleng led everyone to continue to hurry, this can resist the cold in the middle of the night, and the second is also for everyone to find a comfort, after all, the moment everyone drank up the fresh water and threw away the bamboo tube, they were all ruined, and they no longer had the slightest way out.

Either cross the desert or die.

In the middle of the night in the desert march, Gao Xiaoleng didn't speak, they marched very fast, and soon their whole bodies were steaming, at least they wouldn't be frozen to death in such a cold night.

They did this until dawn, and the desert in the early morning had a dreamlike beauty, but it was a murderous beauty, because as everyone sweated profusely, the weather suddenly became hot again, and everyone soon became uncomfortable because of the lack of water.

Gao Xiaoleng led everyone forward with difficulty, and the sunlight overhead was getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature during the day today seemed to be higher than yesterday, perhaps entering the hinterland of the desert.

"Brother Gao, my throat is about to burst into flames, do we need to take a break. Chen Xiang said with difficulty.

"No, there is no rest during the day in the desert, once we sit down, we can never get up again, at least at night. Gao Xiaoleng slowed down, maybe walking slower can be regarded as resting.

Gao Xiaoleng took everyone to walk in the Death Desert for another whole day, and it was not until it was dark that everyone began to rest.

Tonight's rest is relatively dull, no one speaks, the feeling of bones pain all over the body makes everyone want to speak, in fact, at this time, everyone is not only sore bones, it can be said that every meridian is in pain, this is not only because of fatigue, but also lack of water.

A lack of food in the desert can last for seven days, and a maximum of three days without water will turn people into dried corpses, without exception.

Gao Xiaoleng and the others have been holding out for a day without water, if they have no fresh water like this, at the latest the day after tomorrow, they will all have to become human beings, this is the law in the desert, no one wants to make an exception.

And there is no edge in sight in this vast desert, Gao Xiaoleng did not speak, and everyone did not speak, but everyone knew very well in their hearts that it was useless to open their mouths to speak, and it would make them thirstier.

Gao Xiaoleng lay on the sand dunes, looking at a few little stars in the sky, Gao Xiaoleng comfortably rubbed his back against the sand pile, feeling the temperature of the warm sand pile.

Gao Xiaoleng knew that he would not only have to continue to travel tonight, but also look for fresh water as much as possible, otherwise they would be very miserable tomorrow, and if they couldn't find fresh water by tomorrow night, then they wouldn't have to look for it anymore, what were the dead still looking for fresh water for.

"Let's rest for a while, let's rest for a stick of incense or so, and we're going to hurry again, and if we still can't find fresh water, then we're in trouble." Gao Xiaoleng told the truth.

It may be that the next rush is too painful, so everyone is resting in the most comfortable position, anyway, whether everyone is lying down or lying on their stomachs, it is to make themselves more comfortable.

Before midnight, it was still night, Gao Xiaoleng beckoned everyone to get up and hurry, and pay attention to the humidity of the desert under their feet, once they encounter some damp sand, it is possible to dig out fresh water.
