Chapter 105: Hills

After drinking water twice, at last, some withered plants began to appear under his feet, only fifty or sixty centimeters high, still yellow, without a trace of green.

And the stones on the ground are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more of them.

Liu Danqing kicked the roots of the plant with his foot, and then explained.

"Look, I kicked the root of the plant a few times, but I couldn't kick it out, which means that this tree looks yellow, but it is still alive, and this is the ability of the plants on the Gobi to evolve with the change of the environment. ”

"The annual precipitation here is basically only about 100 millilitres, mainly concentrated in May, June and July, when it rains, these trees will suddenly wake up and start to grow, and when the rain period is over, they will fall into a state of dry hibernation and turn new to yellow. ”

"Once upon a time, it used to be an ocean, then it was a lush forest and grassland, then it was a semi-desert, and now it is a desert. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the shuttle tree is undoubtedly one of the best. ”

"Speaking of the Shuttle tree, you may not know much about it, but I mentioned an event, there may be a lot of audiences, and Weiwei has also participated, that is, an activity called Ant Forest held by the Forty Thieves, users through low-carbon life, accumulate energy, energy is full, the Forty Thieves will plant a tree on the Gobi Desert in the name of the user, and that tree is the Shuttle Tree. ”

"This is not an advertisement, and again, it is not an advertisement. By the way, another explanation is inserted, the Gobi Desert is the edge of the Gobi region, which is a semi-desert terrain. ”

"We need to keep going, the hills are just a short distance ahead, and I can already see the entrance clearly. ”

After more than half an hour, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei finally walked to the hilly area, found a shady place, sat down, and prepared to rest for a while.

Xiao Weiwei took a few breaths and said, "Huhu, I can finally take a break, I'm so hot and tired, my breath is hot now." ”

Liu Danqing swallowed the little water left in his mouth, exhaled a long breath, and was full of emotion.

"Finally out of that damn flat land, I've never hated flat land so much, no animals, no plants, not even hope. There was only yellow sand, scorching sun and heat waves, and when there was no wind, I expected the wind to be windy, but when the wind came, I found that it was hot, and tried to take away all the moisture from my body, but left me with yellow sand. ”

"Now, we have finally found shade and completed our first small goal of survival. This is heaven for us, and we have just walked from hell to heaven. We're going to take a break here so that our core temperature can come down. ”

"If the core temperature is too high, it will speed up the loss of water in our physical energy and body, and it will also bring dizziness, dizziness, slow thinking, upset, irritability and other negative states, which are all taboos in wilderness survival. ”

"Entering the hills doesn't mean we've found water, we're going to rest for a while, we're going to keep looking, and when it's dawn, we're going to climb up to the high ground and look around. ”

"Climbing up to high ground means that we need to spend a lot of energy and water, but it is worth it, it can show us the way, if we look around, then we will be like chess pieces in a chessboard, trapped in the chessboard, only by looking out of the chessboard, can we really understand the chessboard and find a way out. ”

Xiao Weiwei looked at her water bottle, there was about a third of the water, and then looked at Liu Danqing's water bottle, there was only about one-fifth left, so she switched the two water bottles.

Liu Danqing saw it and was very moved, but still refused: "Weiwei, you don't need to change the water, I drank a little more when I ate at noon, and I have more reserve water in my body than you." ”

Xiao Weiwei smiled mischievously and said, "I still want you to do hard work in a while, so you can take it." I'll just have less, I'm mostly following you anyway. ”

Liu Danqing listened, and no longer postponed, accepting Xiao Weiwei's kindness.

When the audience saw Xiao Weiwei's performance, they praised it one after another, especially the male compatriots, who were envious, jealous and hateful to Liu Danqing.

"Xiong Da gave Danqing and Weiwei a fighter jet - Qing Ye is so blessed to be accompanied by Weiwei. ”

"Wow, heha, give Danqing and Weiwei a fighter jet - Weiwei's dog food is sprinkled, without showing traces, go to the knife and see the dog's blood. ”

"Hongchen is like a dream to give Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - Qing Ye, such a Weiwei is worth cherishing for a lifetime. ”

"Ukiyo Lichen gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - to have a couple like Weiwei, Qing Ye's life, it's worth it, congratulations!"

The two rested in the shade for twenty or thirty minutes, and Liu Danqing looked at the sky and stood up.

"We're going to go up that higher hill, it's about three o'clock in the afternoon, and we'll have to climb up at dawn, figure out the surrounding situation, and find a campsite. ”

"There is a small hill between that high ground and us, and although it is a small hill, it is not easy to get there in this weather. ”

"But we also have good news, first of all, that there is no sand in the wind now, which allows us to breathe with confidence, and that we have hard rocks and gravel under our feet, which makes it a lot easier for us to walk. ”

"In the Gobi region, often the high places are rocky, and the plains are full of sand, because of the flash floods, because of the lack of vegetation, as long as it rains heavier, it will cause flash floods, and the flash floods will wash down the small stones and sand, and finally the small stones will pile up at the foot of the mountain, and the sand will be washed to the plains, and then carried by the strong winds to any corner of the Gobi. ”

"So, the Gobi is a place that is more barren than the desert, but fortunately we are now in the hilly area, which is the richest place in the Gobi, and there may be some small creatures such as lizards, Gobi rats, marmots, and if you are lucky, you can also meet some large animals such as wild camels, wild asses, and of course, dangerous creatures like Gobi wolves. ”

The two of them walked down the valley, preparing to bypass a hill in front of them and climb directly to the high ground.

After walking forward for a while, Liu Danqing suddenly pointed to a small piece of green scattered more than 30 meters in front of him, and shouted: "Weiwei, look, audience friends, look, there is green in front, it is a plant, I just don't know what it is, but there are plants that mean there is hope." ”

"Let's go over and see, oh, a little disappointed, and a little happy. ”

"Disappointed, it's not a plant that can provide us with water and food, and happily, there are plants, which means that there may be groundwater underneath the ground in this area, and we can climb to a higher place and we may be able to find water. ”
