Chapter 33: Hot and Barren
On the third planet, the dawn always comes faster than on other planets. While people were still asleep, the dawn had crept in, and the golden spicy sunlight sprinkled the entire barren land, gilding it with a layer of golden sand.
The barren land has the same place as the desert on earth, and there are different places.
Desert mainly refers to a barren area where the ground is completely covered with sand, plants are very scarce, rainfall is scarce, and the air is dry. The desert, also known as the "sand curtain", is an area of severe drought and lack of water and sparse plants. The desert area is mostly sandy beaches or sand dunes, and rocks under the sand are often found. Some deserts are salt flats and completely devoid of vegetation. Deserts are generally aeolian landforms. Like Earth's deserts, the desert-dotted Third Planet is often home to valuable mineral deposits. This is also the reason why the third planet is in contention.
Compared with the deserts on the earth, there are few plants growing on the barren land, and there is yellow sand and terracotta everywhere. When the wind is strong, the sky is full of yellow sand, and even if you take protective measures, it will be blown by sand and dust. The difference is that the barren land is the same heat both day and night. Of course, it may be that there is no sun overhead, and the barren land at night will be a little cooler than during the day. But it's only four or five degrees lower.
Humans suffer from heat stroke in hot weather. Heat stroke is also called heatstroke. It refers to the dysregulation of the body's body temperature caused by high temperatures, and the excessive accumulation of heat in the body, which leads to damage to the nervous organs.
It's no surprise that such weather can cause heat stroke in humans. One after another, many people who are relatively weak begin to show signs of heat stroke. Slows down the entire team. But even so, the rest of the team was unwilling to accept the kindness of Lu Jianian and Qiao Erlan, who were 'unknown'.
Joellan tried to help them, but was repeatedly refused.
Lu Jianian followed her behind her, and when he saw that she had been rejected more than a dozen times, he didn't give up, and stopped her: "It's useless, you better take care of yourself first." As he spoke, Lu Jianian's slightly cool palm gently touched Qiao Erlan's sunburned cheeks. It was like an electric shock and quickly withdrew his hand.
Qiao Erlan looked at him as if he was also sunburned, and his face was abnormally red, "If you also suffer from heat stroke, you will be in trouble." ”
Joellan also gave up. Although they were taught to reach out to help others, they didn't accept it and couldn't do it. Joellan didn't feel so uncomfortable because she was carrying that mysterious box. Joellan had discovered a long time ago that the box could regulate a person's body temperature. This is also a little bit of the result of her years of research on this box.
Joellan looked far away, but fortunately, the whole team was about to cross this barren land where no grass grows.
As she walked, she thought to herself: I don't know how long Conse and his men had been discussing yesterday, but when they set off today, they seemed to be no different than usual. But she knew that he asked Lu Jianian to go out again last night, and he wouldn't have deliberately tossed Lu Jianian. When she came back, she asked him herself, but her mouth was as strict as if something was there. didn't say anything, which made her think that Kong Si and he Lu Jianian were the same faction.
Thinking about it, there was a nameless fire. Lu Jianian rejected her question last night: "There are some things that need to be hidden. ”
Qiao Erlan suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at the man next to her who provoked her as if he was nothing, and hurried to distance herself from him. Lu Jianian, who was walking behind her, felt that Qiao Erlan's back was full of anger, and she looked like I was very angry and didn't mess with me.
Lu Jianian touched his nose and silently sped up.
When he walked in with her, he said, "The wind is strong, follow me." ”
"Heh, you'd better go ahead and talk to Conse." Joel Lanli ignored him and turned his head to the other side.
Why is this sand so annoying, Joellan kicked his feet, kicking the sand half a person high.
What! How can there be such a person. Obviously, he is in the same group as him, but he even has to hide such an important thing from himself. Qiao Erlan's cheeks bulged with anger.
Lu Jianian looked at her awkward and cute appearance, revealing an imperceptible smile, and a few soft touches crossed his eyes. But when he thought of Conse's words last night, his eyes instantly turned cold. Xiao Qiao, it's not that I don't want to sue you, but this matter really stains your ears. Lu Jianian sighed in his heart, let her sulk by herself, so that she would not ask him again.
Yesterday, when Cons invited Lu Jiannian for the second time to discuss the matter, he told Lu Jiannian that the battle was not large, but not small, and that one of the homeless leaders near the battlefield died. But because the leader of the outcasts still had a dignified wife, Cons was full of ideas to rob while the fire was burning. Lu Jianian grabbed the wife of the dead leader of the homeless people, and there was nothing left for Lu Jianian. Kong Si would ask Lu Jiannian to do this alone, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to try Lu Jiannian's skills, so as to see if he could use it and where he could use it.
Although Cons said to Lu Jiannian in a high-sounding manner that it was to unite the forces of the displaced people, how could Lu Jianian be deceived by his hypocrisy. Lu Jiannian's promise to him was just a stopgap measure. He had a hunch......
It's ridiculous that Conse is cunning and a little clever, and he can't see reality clearly: Lu Jianian is not a character he can control at all.
But it's nice to play with him, and maybe there's an unexpected gain. Lu Jianian's right hand naturally opened, and he bent his elbow to wrap around the petite Qiao Erlan, just enough to take her into his arms.
Qiao Erlan suddenly felt that she had fallen into a warm and generous embrace, and her eyes widened instantly. She was startled by his sudden intimacy and reflexively slapped his hand away. When he was a little farther away from him, he looked at his still empty hand with vigilant eyes: "What are you going to do?" Got a virus? ”
Lu Jianian was still thinking about things in his head, and he was caught off guard by her and was confused for a moment, only to find that he had actually done what he thought in his head when he reacted. A little annoyed, but he was also a little strange, I don't know when he couldn't control his behavior. Lu Jianian frowned slightly: "Maybe." "Probably something that can't be cleared. But is it possible? Lu Jianian asked himself in his heart.
Qiao Erlan pulled the corners of her mouth, a little funny: "And next time, find me a special place to check it." She knew that robots could get sick too. However, it is not like humans who get sick, but they are infected with the virus. Lu Jianian may be tricked when he is unprepared.
"Okay." Lu Jianian agreed. There was a shallow smile on her face, but it was not difficult to see the worry in her eyes.
A trace of warmth flowed into Lu Jianian's heart. However, Lu Jianian didn't realize that this warm current was actually like a tenacious seed with vitality, which had begun to take root in his heart. These things cannot be uprooted.
