Lima scolded angrily: "What are you doing doing this, what are you doing going around?" Lin Xiao said: "Judging from the situation, they haven't found out that we have escaped, maybe they haven't done an inventory of the scene of the car accident, we still have time." ”

"Yes," said Haman, "let's hurry up, it'll be too late for them to find out." When the three of them saw the plane go away, they got up and ran again. Harman had lived in the desert as a child, and was familiar with the environment, so he took his direction and ran forward. After running for about an hour, according to their speed, they could run dozens of miles before they stopped.

Running in the strong sunlight was not an easy task, the three of them were hot and tired, their throats were dry and smoking, and Lima did not say a word for a long time, panting with his mouth open. Seeing that he was about to take it any longer, Haman led the two men to a low-lying land high on all sides and low in the middle, where a clump of desert plants grew, and Haman dug up the roots with his hands, and Lima could not walk, so he lay down on the ground to rest.

Lin Xiao followed Haman to dig down, digging and digging, the sand below became more and more humid, and a cool water vapor came to his face. Lima stuck his head over and sucked greedily. They dug for a while, and at sixty or seventy centimeters, water could be squeezed out of the sand.

Haman took off his clothes and wrapped the sand in them, and the water seeped out drop by drop, and Lima took off his clothes and learned to wrap the sand, and took the water that seeped out with water, and exclaimed, "The water here is so sweet." Lin Xiao also wrapped a bag of wet sand, opened his mouth wide to receive water, and said, "I don't think it's very sweet, it's because you're too thirsty." ”

Everyone drank some water, lay down under the sand dunes and rested for a while, and their strength recovered slightly. Lin Xiao had never lived in the desert, looking at the boundless yellow sand desert, he only felt panicked in his heart, he asked Haman: "Are you familiar with this desert?" Haman stood up and looked around, and said: "This place has been here, but it is all by car by road, and it has never been crossed on foot like now." ”

Lima was still greedily sucking the drops, and when he heard Haman say this, he became anxious and scolded: "This hellish place, it's hot and dry, I'm about to catch fire, I say how you like to live in this kind of place." Harman ignored him and continued to observe the terrain, stepping out in all directions, shielding himself from the sun and looking into the distance. Lin Xiao stabbed Lima and said to him: "Be careful when you speak, no matter how bad the environment is here, it is also the hometown of other people, don't annoy him, leave you here, die of thirst for you, and become a dry corpse." ”

Lima was so frightened that he didn't say a word, just bowed his head and drank water. Haman came back and said, "Now that we are deep in the middle of the desert, we can't get out on two feet alone. Lima wrapped his clothes around his head, and then opened a crack and said, "Then what should I do, do you really want to die here?" Lin Xiao felt that this guy was really rapping, so he said some frustrating words, and raised his leg and kicked him: "You don't say a few words, save some saliva." ”

Haman sat down, took a twig, and drew on the sand: "We just came in along this road, and we hit a car at this location, and we got off the road from here, and walked about ten kilometers in this direction, and should be here now." Lin Xiao and Lima squatted on the side to watch him analyze, after all, they had lived in the desert, and their sense of direction was very good, and they were not chaotic at all.

Seeing that his analysis was methodical, Lima also had a bottom in his heart, and listened quietly without saying a word. Lin Xiao asked Haman, "Then where should we go now?" Haman frowned and pondered for a while, drew a line from his current position, pointed to the road that came in, and said resolutely: "Go back." ”

"Go back?" Lima was a little scared. "Of course, you can't go back the way you came. Haman said, "Let's go back from here." He pointed in the other direction. "Isn't that going a little further?" Lima protested.

Lin Xiao understood, and he explained to Lima: "That's the case, in this desert, only this road is the most likely to help us get out, if we don't go back, we will walk blindly, we will lose our way and die of exhaustion." Back on the road, we may encounter passing vehicles and hitchhike out. You can't go to the scene of the crash, maybe Harriman's men have already started a search, so you have to bypass it, so it's safest. ”

Lima listened to Lin Xiao's explanation and understood that the two of them had the same idea, and he had to obey this decision, so he reluctantly stood up and said, "Then let's go, I'll listen to you." Haman didn't move, he was still looking at the map on the ground, and asked, "Look, are we going back, or are we going forward?"

Lin Xiao said: "I think it's better to move forward. Harriman will definitely investigate the scene, and it will be easy to find that the three of us have escaped, if it were you, what would you do?" said Harman without hesitation: "He will definitely search this desert, and he will also block the road and check the passers-by. Lin Xiao said: "By the way, the point is that the place we are currently staying in is centered on the scene of the car accident, so we have to evacuate immediately, go to a place he can't estimate, and then walk forward to prevent him from setting up a block on the road and forcing us back again." ”

Lima heard the idea at this time, and he said, "Do you know where he will set up a card?" Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "I don't know, we can only choose a relatively safe channel, and once there is a problem, we will choose it again immediately." ”

"Yes. "In order to prevent an encounter with the enemy, we need to go further, so let's go." Then Lima got up, and the three of them refreshed themselves and walked forward again.

When I sat in the car, I couldn't feel how hot it was outside, and I felt that the yellow sand was shining golden in the sun, and I thought it was beautiful, but now I felt that the environment here was really unbearable when I walked forward step by step on the sand under the scorching sun.

After all, Harman had undergone this kind of test when he was a child, and he could still stand it, Lin Xiao and Lima felt like they were barbecuing on the stove, and they were sweating on their heads at first, and then they didn't even sweat anymore, they only felt that they were going to smoke, and they just mechanically followed Haman forward.
