An Su sighed, the person who built this base was really ruthless, although he left, he still left such a hand, and he was directly destroyed after the warning to anyone who dared to snoop on the secrets of the base was ineffective. Pen~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info If the mud and rocks blocking the cave had not been dug up, it might not have collapsed.

Ansu looked up at the clear sky, and there seemed to be an invisible hand controlling it all.

"Let's go." Ansu patted Simon on the shoulder.

The road ahead is unpredictable, and they must move forward firmly.

It may have once been a sea or a lake, but after a long period of crustal uplift and high temperatures, all that remains is a white crust of salt, some of which are crispy and crack open when stepped on. You can still see some sparse grass at the edge of the saline, but the further you go, the more you go, the more you become a world of salt, and even the air has a salty smell. Walking in such a place is not pleasant, the salt content is high, and the feet wrapped in cowhide are not breathable, which is very uncomfortable. When I took it off during the break, I saw that my whole foot was wrinkled, and there was a smell of pickles. But you can't help it, you can't walk barefoot on the salt, some of which are so strong that the edges can be as sharp as a blade. In addition, when the skin is in direct contact with salt, water loss is accelerated.

The red soil was exposed in places that were not covered with salt, and Ansul tried to walk those places. Walking in this world full of salt, I feel that every minute and every second of my body's moisture is sucked away little by little.

Simon raised his head and took a sip of water from the water bladder, and wiped his lips with the back of his hand: "Captain, how long are you going to go?" "They've been walking for almost ten days and haven't walked out yet. The food and water are almost exhausted, and even if they are not exhausted, they are starting to spoil and smell.

Ansu took a sip of water, then took out his compass and re-identified the direction with the map he remembered in his mind. When the red hill collapsed, Rainbow Fire Meerkat took out Ansu's animal skin bag, and returned it to Ansu when he saw her this time.

In this endless and seemingly identical place, it's very easy to get lost without a tool to guide you. Ansul must be careful in every step. Once lost, it is not easy to get back to the right route, and besides, they are running out of supplies.

"It could be a few more days." Ansu put the compass back in her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and stood up, "We have to keep going." ”

Simon scratched his head vigorously, feeling that his head was about to frost with salt, and he wanted to take a shower quickly, otherwise he would soon become a pickle!

The sun is sinking into the horizon and the temperature is dropping. The cold night breeze blew uncontrollably across the unobstructed ground, blowing up a little salt grain.

"Haqiu--"

Simon opened his mouth wide and sneezed, and was unexpectedly poured a mouthful of wind, and immediately felt that his mouth was salty and bitter, and his face was immediately distorted.

Ansu pointed to the place in front of him that was slightly undulating like a mound: "We will rest there tonight." ”

Simon covered his mouth and nodded vigorously.

When the two approached, they realized that instead of a mound, they realized that instead of a mound, they had three dead camel corpses, which looked like camels, but their coats were red and much larger. The three bodies were one large and two small, but the smaller one was the size of a horse. Ansu guessed that they might be mother and son, who got lost in the saline soil and eventually died here. And they must have been dead for some time, with a layer of salt frost on their hair, but instead of rotting badly, they became a dried corpse under the action of salt and heat.

Ansu carefully looked at them for wounds, but there were none of them, and they should have died of dehydration rather than being bitten by predators. An Su was relieved.

Now that there are animal carcasses, it should be close to the edge of the saline.

"We're camping here tonight." Ansu said.

Simon nodded, and together with Ansu, he built the three camel beast carcasses into a wall of flesh to block the wind mixed with salt grains that blew in the night. The place where the beasts were clinging to the ground had become a piece of salt on the ground, peeling off and clicking as they pushed the corpses.

There were no plants in the saline-alkali land, and there was no dry wood to make a fire, and they had been wrapped in animal skins for every cold night, but the fur of those animals was not thick, and it was difficult to resist the cold night wind. If it weren't for the strong bodies of the two of them, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withstand it for a few days. An Su tightened his face, leaned against the carcass of the camel beast, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Captain, look in this direction, can you find them?" Simon asked softly, and as soon as his body stopped, he couldn't help but think about it a little more.

"If you can't find it in the end, go in another direction." Ansu opened his eyes to look at the starry night sky, "I will always find it." ”

She tilted her face slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked: "Didn't I find you?" ”

The confused look on Simon's face disappeared, his eyebrows raised, he followed Ansu's eyes to look at the vast starry sky, and whispered a popular poem in the Federation: "Starlight leads the way, we will eventually reunite." ”

"I didn't think you knew this poem."

"I've listened to Kyle's thoughts a lot." Simon scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Well, I have to let him think more about it in the future and improve your cultural literacy."

"Don't! He's nagging enough! Simon hurriedly waved his hand, and his ears hurt from his usual chatter. But now I miss his voice, and them.

"Captain, let's go faster tomorrow."

"Well, it depends."

At night, this desolate place was not dead and silent, and the wind blew through the hollows of the salt, making a sound that whimpered and shrill at times. Tonight was different. The wind was mixed with other sounds.

An Suhodi opened his eyes and listened.

Woohoo Woo Woo --

It's the voice of a wolf. And more than one. But it seems to be far away.

Simon also woke up: "It's a wolf." He whispered.

"Hmm." An Sufu closed his eyes again, "We're far away, and we're downwind, they won't find us." ”

Simon licked his lips, he didn't have to worry about safety at all, he just wanted to drink blood and eat flesh. His body was desperately thirsty for blood due to lack of water. Simon glanced at Ansu's sharp side, tapped his forehead, and ordered himself to close his eyes, trying to suppress the desire in his body.

Ansu opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Simon, and at that moment she felt the fluctuation of Simon's energy, but she was quickly controlled by him. A smile of relief tugged at the corner of her lips. One day, Simon will use this energy for himself, and he will become an even stronger fighter.

The next day, when the sky was still gray-blue, the two of them continued to walk eastward, the animal carcasses they had seen yesterday and the wolf cries they had heard gave them more motivation. They're coming out of the saline.

But when they climbed a mound, they were taken aback by what they saw. (To be continued.) )
