Soon, the boy found a forest of poplars, and the dry poplar trees stood like pacesetters in the desert.

Poplar trees are 15~30 meters tall and can sprout seedlings from their roots. It can tolerate drought in the desert and has a strong tolerance for salinity. The roots of Populus euphratica can penetrate up to 10 meters underground to absorb water, and its cells also have a special function to be unharmed by alkaline water. Populus euphratica is a paleo-Mediterranean component and is an ancient tree species remnant of the third century.

In the desert journey, it is often silent, but although it is the Gobi, it is not boring. On this endless Gobi Desert wasteland, even a tree in the distance is definitely a different scenery. Seeing Populus euphratica, the abrupt and mysterious Populus euphratica, is definitely a pleasing thing to the eye.

Although Populus euphratica has extremely strong vitality, it "lives without dying for a thousand years, dies without falling for a thousand years, and does not die for a thousand years". But it can't escape the disaster of long-term lack of water, but the thousand-year-old poplar can't live for a hundred years, and the tears are all over the sand.

Now, this is a dead poplar forest, the area is not large, dozens of acres, in this moonlight in the vast desert looks particularly monotonous.

After the two of them collected some branches, the boy began to make a sound similar to that of an animal, and soon, dozens of jerboas appeared sneakily around, apparently, this poplar forest was supposed to be a colony of jerboas.

Seeing the boy hunting jerboa with a slightly thicker gravel, Zhang Yang realized that this teenager was far more powerful than he thought.

Soon, the boy hunted seven or eight jerboas.

The two of them got some dead branches and lit a fire, and the night in the desert was very cold, in fact, at this time, the jerboa was very little active, and was about to enter the hibernation period, and some of them were already hibernating.

When the fire was raised, Zhang Yang found that the young man had a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, and in the small bag on his waist, there were a lot of bits and pieces, including fire, salt, some urgent medicines, and even batteries......

The boy very skillfully skinned the jerboa, removed the internal organs and head, and it felt very clean, and then sprinkled some salt on it and roasted it by the fire.

"You often live in the wild?" Zhang Yang looked at the young man's skillful movements and couldn't help asking.

"No, it's the first time."

The boy's answer made Zhang Yang dumbfounded, looking at the boy's skillful movements and rich experience, no one would think that he was living in the wild for the first time.

"Hehe, there is no accident, ask a few more people who know the knowledge of wild life will understand these, in fact, in addition to the wide range of knowledge, survival mainly requires strength, such as the leisurely roasted jerboa we seem to live now, but, if it is an ordinary person, it is difficult to do, first of all, it is difficult for them to lure out the jerboa that is about to enter hibernation, in addition, even if the jerboa is tempted out, it will not be caught at all, so, if you and I are ordinary people in this desert, there is only one way to starve to death, Even if there is food everywhere, you can't get it into your stomach......"

"Yes, the strength ......"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but be in a daze, the difference in strength between him and the young man was not calculated in the Dao, at least, the young man could live a good life in this desert, and he chased the king in the desert for five days and five nights, and he almost became the food in the wolf's stomach.

"Don't worry, you'll have it soon, your progress is very fast, the last time we met, you were still a rookie who didn't get started, an ordinary person who was oppressed by a group of ordinary gangsters, and now, you have started, your progress speed is very surprising." The boy plucked the jerboa meat, and at this time, the jerboa meat had already emitted a faint fragrance.

"How can you tell?" Zhang Yang was taken aback.

"It's very simple, you can be chased by wolves for so long and survive, it has proven your strength, you know, the wolves in the desert have adapted to the environment of the desert, they run very fast in the desert, and the endurance is long, even me, chasing for five days and five nights can not completely eliminate them, it can be seen that their running ability." The young man smiled, and actually took out a small bottle from his waist, poured some powder from the bottle on top of the jerboa meat, and immediately, the yellowed jerboa meat that had been roasted emitted a strange fragrance.

"What is this?" Zhang Yang's index finger hooked by the fragrance moved.

"Five-spice powder, specially prepared for barbecue, a must-have for home travel." The boy laughed.

"......" Zhang Yang was speechless, he could see from this small detail that the young man was a person who was very particular about the quality of life, otherwise, he would never have brought a bottle of condiments in this environment.

"Let's eat, eight ripe, it's almost, it's too burnt and not delicious, we don't have too much water, and the meat of this jerboa meat is still very tender." The young man picked a piece of jerboa meat with a dagger and handed it to Zhang Yang, and he grabbed a piece with his hand and chewed it, as if he was not afraid of being hot at all.

"Thank you......" Zhang Yang was already so hungry that he was cold, and he had been running all night, and his stomach was already empty. By the way, why did you help me when we first met? ”

"Feel!" The boy took a big bite of meat and hummed comfortably.

"Feelings?" Zhang Yanghu said suspiciously.

"Well, I feel, I feel that you are worthy of my shot, when I suspect that you may become a strong man, so I make a move, as someone said to you, it is not easy for a strong person to appear, so, in this circle, if you find a seedling to become a strong person, you will protect it intentionally or unintentionally, for fear of dying young......"

"Why are you afraid of dying young?" Zhang Yang didn't understand a little, it didn't seem to have anything to do with others.

"It's very simple, if a country's strong people are more powerful than another country's strong people, then, this country's weight in the world of the strong is naturally the heaviest, and even, you can also formulate some laws of the strong, so it is a very sensational thing for any country to have a strong person, whether it is a national force or a private force, it will be protected, of course, the hostile force will also be strangled, and no one wants their opponents to add new blood."

"I see!" Zhang Yang finally understood that the birth of a strong man had affected the strength of the country, no wonder the boy said last time that he was not under the supervision of the law.

Indeed, to become a strong man, it is possible to ignore the law at all.

In fact, the laws of the human world were originally formulated by the strong, and the only difference is that they are just ordinary strong, which is fundamentally different from the strong people they are talking about now.

"By the way, how do you orient yourself in this desert? I see you're familiar with this desert. ”

Zhang Yang has never figured out this problem, you know, Zhang Yang has countless memory knowledge in his mind, and he can be regarded as knowing astronomy and geography, but it is impossible to accurately predict the location and find the woods in the desert like a teenager.

If Zhang Yang is allowed to find a general direction through the constellations, it is still possible, but how to judge where there is water and woods is too mysterious.

"Simple, this!" The boy took down the silver-white metal watch in his hand, this is a long watch, there is a big screen, the boy gently pressed a button, and a delicate map immediately appeared on the screen, and there were coordinates on the map, and there was a white bright spot on the watch.

"See, the location of this highlight is our current location, if I aim the location at this place, the display screen will slowly analyze the topography of this place, analyze the results, and then, call up the general shape of the location of this block, of course, because the terrain of the desert changes greatly, this is not accurate, grandma's, I have been fooled a few times, mainly by their own analysis, such as here, there are poplar trees, many years ago, there must have been a water source here, then, in this vicinity, there is a great chance that there is an underground river or an oasis……”

"Oh......"

Zhang Yang's face is still flat, but his heart is overturned, who is this young man?

The value of this watch can no longer be measured in money, this is a desert, not a city, and there is no satellite navigation system, even if it is a navigation system, there will definitely be no geographical indication and analysis......

Obviously, there are countless secrets hidden behind this watch.

"This watch was given by a friend, hehe, there are many functions, and you can also talk, it is said that there will be a signal in any corner of the world, and, it is solar, but, for safety, I still brought a battery, in case there is no power and people are trapped in this desert, then the matter is a big deal......" The boy proudly took the watch, and there was a childish spirit between his eyebrows, Zhang Yang found that although this teenager was ruthless, in fact, he was still an eighteen-year-old boy.

"Good stuff!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but be a little envious, with this thing, he basically wouldn't get lost in the desert Gobi.

"I'll ask that friend for one when I get a chance." The boy laughed.

"Good!" Zhang Yang was overjoyed, Zhang Yang naturally didn't know, this watch is a highly military secret, and ordinary people can't even look at it, let alone want it.

"By the way, where is your destination tomorrow?" The boy asked.

"XX Village in KC County, it is said that there is a big cemetery where we go to pay tribute to one person."

"What? Cemetery in XX Village, KC County? The young man stood up with a grim expression, as if he had changed into a different person.
