Two hundred and fifty-seven, preparation

It wasn't until about an hour later that Chen Kai returned to the hotel with O'Connor in a local costume, and at this moment, the man had easily exchanged the five gold bars that O'Connor handed him for a large amount of cash and small gold coins, and bought O'Connor a large bag of weapons, and also bought a few pieces of equipment suitable for local outfits, such as tear gas, smoke grenades, fog bombs and other auxiliary weapons. In short, by the time O'Connor and Chen Kai returned to the hotel, everything was ready. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But now the time is also at night, they can't immediately leave for the capital of death, so the young man arranged a place and dinner, not to mention that although the hotel looks small, but the real facilities of the suite inside are actually very complete, although there is no famous chef in the hotel, but an Egyptian-style dinner during the dinner is even more Chen Kai can't help but applaud again and again, as the saying goes, a good banquet is the best way for men to get closer to each other, and it is also the easiest to make friends in the staggered house. The previous misunderstanding between O'Connor and Chen Kai was also resolved at the banquet, and the distance between the two people was instantly shortened a lot, and O'Connor, who had already begun to drink a little high, pulled Chen Kai to talk to him about his experience of being a soldier for several years, especially when he and his troops broke into the capital of the dead three years ago, how he came back from the desert, and his thoughts during his time in prison.

“…… That year we received an order from our superiors to go into the desert in search of the legendary city of infinite gold --- the capital of the dead...... Hehe, if I didn't know that you hadn't been there, and when I saw your previous shot, I still wonder if you have already found the golden treasure of the Capital of the Dead...... In short, after we had eaten enough yellow sand, the day when we were very lucky, we saw the Tower of Hamna, the capital of the dead, the tomb of the legendary pharaoh resting**, with gold and black holy books, and the legendary capital of the resting of the pharaoh with priceless gold......" Speaking of this, O'Connor paused for a long time, and then after a hesitant look on his face, he continued to express his memories.

"Not long after we got there, just before we had time to do a simple digging and exploration, we were attacked by a group of men in black, they were all a group of rude and savage savages, without saying a word, they killed us・・・・・ they really wanted to kill us all, I was very lucky to encounter something strange and scared them away before escaping, at that time I was almost killed by those men in black, but the sand where I was standing suddenly writhed, and a human face emerged from below, Maybe that's the legendary ghost guarding the tomb...... Ahem, what a nightmare・・・・・・ you can imagine ・・・・・ so many people who went there together... In the end, I was the only one who escaped alive, and then I was confronted with the endless desert......"

O'Connor's throat crackled and he said: "At that time, in the desert, I didn't have the slightest supplies and fresh water, and it took three days to get from Hamnata, the capital of the dead, to the nearest oasis, it was a desert, there were no horses, no camels, it would take at least five days to walk, and in that kind of temperature and exposure, everyone would be dried ...... the sun."

"Hoohoo...... At that time, I was really... thirsty and thirsty, and many times I had a feeling that I couldn't help but fall asleep, but ・・・・・" O'Connor said this with a bottle of tequila and took a few sips, as if it was also because of the memories in his mind that caused his body to react as well, making him feel a little thirsty.

After pouring several sips of wine and gasping heavily, O'Connor continued to talk about his experience at that time, and his tone was mixed with a hint of self-deprecating laughter from time to time: "On the third day, I began to eat snakes and scorpions, hehehe, in order to survive, I really did everything I could・・・・・ when you were thirsty, you will feel a little difficult to breathe, plus it is too hot and the sun is shining, it is absolutely impossible to nourish without water, in that environment at that time, Where is it possible to find a water source? So I caught some scorpions and snakes, dismantled their shells and skins, sucked out their blood and drank them, and moistened my throat with the smell of scarlet...... At night, the sand is dug up and the mouth is moistened with the wettest sand below...... I survived with this shallow amount of "water", in fact, I didn't know how I managed to make it to the oasis until the end, I should have looked like the living dead, haha......"

This remark is bland, and even some self-deprecating laughter, but the danger and difficulty is really not enough for people, not to mention anything else, just say that there is no water source is the biggest dilemma in the desert, in weekdays may not have a great impact for a while, in ordinary times it is more important to eat, because human beings need to consume energy to live, when a person just starts to stop eating, the human body will have some reactions, such as dizziness, headache, weakness, and then develop, the organs in the body will begin to fail, which further leads to death; If a person does not supplement nutrition (food), that is, does not drink water, it is 72 hours (three days) under normal environmental conditions, and if it exceeds 72 hours, human life is in danger. If there is water and no food, a person can survive for seven days.

But in the desert, people need more water requirements, the scorching sun in the desert will also speed up people's desire for water shortage, on weekdays may lack water can survive for seven days, but in the desert can only live for three or four days, because in the case of extreme water shortage, ordinary people will not even have the desire to eat food; Even if you force yourself to eat, it will also exacerbate the degree of water demand in the human body!

Chen Kai, who has already reached Bigu, naturally understands that the Bigu that is circulating in society today is not the Bigu of Taoism, but the food Bigu, and for those who can be said to be able to Bigu for a long time in the world, they usually only limit the type and quantity of food, and it is impossible to completely fast or fast water for a long time; It is conceivable that ordinary people have a demand for water, so Chen Kai only silently comforted O'Connor's narration, and the best way to do this time was not to interrupt his speech, but to listen silently.
