This year seems to be hotter than usual. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A red-skinned lizard buries itself in the sand, staring blankly at the blood-red world outside through the cracks in the sand. The red desert stretches endlessly, continuously, like a red ocean, and the dunes are the undulating waves. Drought and heat dominate the region, and life struggles to survive in the cracks.

The red lizard's hind legs pushed back the sand to hide its body deeper, and the sand from its head rolled down, leaving it with only two nostrils to breathe. It was tempted to hide all its nostrils, and the scorching air burned from its nasal cavity into its brain, which made it irritable. It twisted and drilled in a little more, but that didn't make it feel cooler in the slightest. Through the thick layer of sand, it can still feel the scorching sun, and persistently burrows into the sand, trying to extract the last drop of water. The heat made the red lizard dizzy, and the sand around it didn't seem to protect it, but like thousands of hands, as if it was trying to squeeze out all the moisture on its body. But he had to endure the discomfort, because the environment outside was worse than under the sand. In the few memories it can remember, it always remembers that when he was a child, he couldn't bear to leave the sand again, and he was burned on his body, and although it grew later, the scales there became jagged, which may be the reason why other female lizards disliked it. It sighed, it didn't have anything to hope for now, it just wanted this day to pass quickly.

When the red lizard was dazed, a strong tremor woke it up, and at this time of day, the animals were either hiding in the cracks of the sand or hiding in the shade of the trees, could it be a sandstorm? The sandstorm here could move a huge sand dune away in an instant, and the red lizard did not dare to be careless, it pushed away the sand and carefully poked its head out, and it was white and swaying outside, and it squinted its eyes, and finally recognized the living creature that suddenly appeared in the scorching sun.

The red lizard stuck out its tongue and licked its eyelids, it had never seen such a living creature walking on two legs before. The creature was so large that it was dusty like a small sandstorm, and the red lizard shrank in fright and hid back in the sand.

The last drop of water dangled around the mouth of the bladder for a moment before it shivered and fell into the slightly open mouth below. Ansu shook the empty water bladder and sighed almost imperceptibly.

Although he was well prepared to go to sea, the sea was unpredictable, and Ansu had to endure hardships on this voyage, and several times the sailboat was almost overturned by the storms of the ocean and swept to the bottom of the sea. In the polar night, it was difficult to discern the direction, and it almost deviated from the course. The voyage was longer than planned, and the ship's supplies were still insufficient, and for the last leg of the voyage, Ansu almost survived by eating sea fish. After a lot of hard work, I finally saw the land, but I didn't expect it to be an endless desert. Ansu examined the scarred sailboat and knew that it was impossible to turn back, so she could only move forward. An Su really wanted to pick up Tu Wu and ask, why didn't he mark the situation on the mainland in detail? Just write the word "mainland" and you're done. Ansu didn't think about it, thinking that this continent was like the continent she had seen before, at least alive. But the scene in front of him was greatly unexpected by An Su, for a moment, An Su thought that he had returned to Mars, a desolate place, without a trace of greenery, it was simply desperate.

With the vast blue ocean in the back and the endless red desert in front, it is a difficult question to move forward or backward. After three more days in the ship, Ansu decided to move forward! No matter how big the desert is, there is always a margin, as long as you keep walking, you can always get out.

As soon as she decided, Ansu put together everything she could use on the ship and picked out what she could take with her. The sail made of fish skin is to be taken away, and the fish skin used to make the sail is the same as that worn by the sorcerer, light and tough, made of the skin of a giant fish in the ocean called Inomos, which is said to be the mount of the god of the sea, and if it floats like an island. A sail that large weighs only a few pounds when rolled up. The ropes made of the skin of the thunder eel and the tendons of the sea lion beast were also left for about a hundred meters, and these ropes were much lighter than those made of tree bark, so Ansu dared to keep so much. In addition to these, the most important is the problem of water, and Ansu filled six swim bladders that can hold about two liters of water with rainwater. Finally, I also brought a compass made by dismantling the contact. These important things were stuffed into a rucksack made of sea animal skins of about 100 liters, and there was still room for Ansu to stuff some bits and pieces that might be used. The future is unpredictable, and prepared.

However, no matter how well prepared you are, sometimes you can't resist the cruel reality. Ansu walked in the desert for a day without seeing a living thing, let alone a tree, not even a dead trunk. The most abundant in this blood-colored desert is this red sand, which is simply a grain of coal, which, together with the scorching sun in the sky, forms a huge oven. There is not a shred of wind or rain, just blazing sun and dry air. Unlike sailing on the sea, where you can occasionally see a fish, a seabird, or even an island, the only living thing here is sand and the only living thing is Ansul. Ansu longed to see other creatures, even a poisonous snake or a scorpion, but there was nothing, and the heat made it a dead place, the earth was dead, and the sound was dead. Ansel can only prove that he is a living creature by moving his feet mechanically.

The conditions here are harsher than the other deserts Ansu has visited, and compared to this desert, other deserts are oases. The temperature here is usually more than 70 degrees Celsius during the day and more than 40 degrees Celsius at night, giving people the feeling of walking in a furnace at all times, and if you don't take protective measures, you will be scorched at the end of the day. Although Ansu was wearing long sleeves and pants and covered his head with a coat, he was still tanned, as if he had rolled in an ink tank a few times, leaving only his eyeballs and teeth white. Fortunately, the physical fitness of the future people has been strengthened, otherwise they would have fallen from heat stroke long ago.

An Su pulled the neckline to breathe, the temperature regulation function of the clothes gradually declined, and the temperature inside and outside gradually became consistent, even if he didn't move much, his chest and back were all sweaty, and he felt that the whole person was melting. The sun is melting, the sun is melting, the sand is melting, the people are melting, the whole world is melting, and only a white and twisted piece remains. Ansu closed her eyes forcefully, and the sweat from the corners of her forehead slid across the corners of her eyes, bringing a hint of tingling.

The body is sticky and extremely uncomfortable, but at least it proves that the person is still alive and has not been dried for the time being. Although it is very uncomfortable to wear long-sleeved clothes in the heat, you can't take them off easily in order not to get burned by the sun, especially during the day. Constant sweating led to a large loss of water in the body, Ansu did not rush to replenish the lost water, but took a sip when he was thirsty before swallowing it slowly, but despite this, he drank it sparingly, and the four water bladders bottomed out in three days. In a desert survival state, you may be able to survive for a few days without food, but you can't even survive a day without water. In the desert, finding water is the top priority, but the most scarce thing in the desert is water.

It wasn't until noon on the third day that Ansu saw a small bush appear out of the desert.
