"It's so cold, let's have another fire!"

In a corner of the rocky desert wasteland at night, in a small dry depression leeward, Song Xiaoshuang woke up from a light sleep, turned over from the gray-white sand, and quickly rubbed his hands around his body with some frozen hands, which can quickly raise his body temperature, and a bonfire in the sand next to him had already burned out and extinguished, leaving only a pile of ashes.

The temperature difference between day and night in the rocky desert wasteland is so large that it is beyond Song Xiaoshuang's estimate, and it is likely to be close to zero, Song Xiaoshuang secretly called luck, fortunately he did not rest in the brackish water depression, where the temperature during the day is not high, and the huge stone wall is easier to lose the heat accumulated during the day than sand grains, and the temperature must be lower at night. Song Xiaoshuang didn't have any clothes to cover his body, even if he had expected it in advance, buried in a pile of sand that could partially keep warm and reduce heat loss, it really didn't feel good to be frozen and wake up.

Song Xiaoshuang built a total of two fires at night, this sand pile was used to use the first bonfire to roast and heat, covered with some sand and then used in the local shop, Song Xiaoshuang lay down and covered his body with a layer of sand grains, only exposing his head and neck, but he was still awakened by low temperature in the early morning.

He has a strong ancient martial spirit, but it seems that there is no use for luck, it should be said that it is not useless, but the input-output ratio is too low, without involving some limit states, Song Xiaoshuang will not waste the energy stored in the body like this, and it is not trapped on the top of the snow-capped mountains and the sea in the depths of the ocean, and his body has not yet recovered, and it takes a lot of food and water to restore the peak state of high calories brought by the interaction of food and water, and the law of conservation of energy acts on human beings, and the performance is particularly prominent!

After moving his hands and feet, he felt that his body was not so "cold", and after a slight fever, Song Xiaoshuang was ready to start a fire to drive away the cold of the night, although it was a dark night, but Song Xiaoshuang directly ignored it, he was a dual cultivator of ancient martial arts and abnormal abilities, and regarded the night as day.

He first quickly put some finger-sized dry shrub branches, broken roots, and grass roots together, picked up a small piece of dry roots alone, put them in the palm of his hand, and rubbed each other with his hands. With a little utilization, it is easy to ignite an open flame.

This is also a helpless move, before it gets dark, Song Xiaoshuang found nearby, there are only some simple shrub branches, roots and no grass blades, only bare grass stalks and grass roots, etc., there is no grass growing in clumps nearby, seeing that the sky is going to be dark and the temperature drops rapidly, Song Xiaoshuang decided to give up looking for clumps of dead grass to use as ignitions, and decided to use wood fiber as ignitions, with several experiences in the wild, Song Xiaoshuang still has rich experience in this regard.

With such a strange skill as high-temperature arc surgery, Song Xiaoshuang quickly used a blue-white jumping arc spark with one finger, and the high-temperature arc jumping in front of his finger instantly ignited a lump of wood fibers stuffed into the gap at the bottom of the bonfire in a few clicks, and seeing that the fire had already ignited an open flame, Song Xiaoshuang ended the high-temperature arc.

The yellow tongue of fire quickly licked the dead branches and grass roots in the upper part, and the bonfire soon burned, illuminating the night and dispelling the cold, and the things used for the bonfire were almost dry plants, only the faint smell of white smoke and plant ash drifted away with the night breeze.

Song Xiaoshuang first pointed his back to the firelight, feeling warmer, and then dug out a meter of peeled and roasted snake meat from the sand pile around him, and he carefully placed the snake meat on the root of the fire that had begun to burn, and heated it a little to satisfy his stomach.

This is part of a two-meter-long cobra, at night, Song Xiaoshuang threw the peeled snake skin and the snake head into the fire and burned it to ashes (the snakeskin scales of snakes swimming in the stony desert are obvious, if you don't peel off the snake skin, it is not easy to roast the snake meat, and the second is that it looks like a panic, after peeling off the snake skin, Song Xiaoshuang will treat the snake meat as a ham sausage, not that there is no drinking water in the wild and people are dying of thirst, Song Xiaoshuang will not hit the unlucky snakes with his ideas, there are not only snakes in the desert), It is also another form of returning it to nature, gobbling up half of the roasted snake meat as ham sausage, and the roasted snake meat is very hot and dry, if it weren't for the fact that there is no drinking water, Song Xiaoshuang would eat the remaining half.

Although Song Xiaoshuang didn't know where the stony desert was on the earth, he judged it according to the sunset time, and now the time was at least two or three o'clock in the morning "local" time, and the snake meat in his stomach had long been digested and turned into the energy needed by the body.

Hearing the sound of snake meat on the fire, Song Xiaoshuang, who knew that the snake meat had been roasted, picked up the snake meat with a dead branch, and after facing the night fan a few times, he threw away the dead branch and grabbed the nearly one-meter-long snake meat segment, stuffed one end into his mouth and ate it while it was hot, after eating a foot-long section, Song Xiaoshuang stopped eating, he felt very thirsty, before the thirst was quenched, this snake meat could no longer be eaten indiscriminately, and the remaining piece of snake meat was put on his neck.

The feeling of thirst will not disappear because Song Xiaoshuang stopped eating snake meat, but it is becoming more and more obvious, under the light of the bonfire, Song Xiaoshuang, who was sitting on the sand next to the fire, showed a self-deprecating look on his face, he didn't think that he would have to use that method so soon, he stood up with a sigh, stretched out his crotch with one hand to form a nest, relaxed his urine slightly, and a stream of urine that had begun to turn yellow with a strange smell rushed to the palm of his hand, and then Song Xiaoshuang drank the urine clean as if he was drinking (if a healthy human body is not short of water, urine is almost transparent and tasteless) Then put your hand under your crotch and take the urine, send it into the throat to moisturize, and so on several times, until there is no urine left in the bladder.

The thirst is temporarily gone, Song Xiaoshuang also lost interest in continuing to eat snake meat, and wiped his palm in the sand a few times casually, there is no one else here, even if there is an obvious smell of urine, don't care.

That strange smell in the urine, Song Xiaoshuang knew that it had something to do with the raw snake blood he drank yesterday afternoon, this was a portrayal of his extreme lack of water, Song Xiaoshuang sat by the bonfire, and decided to wait for the sky to dawn before going to the east, the sun's rays, the shade of the rocks to the sun, and the local growth of shrub branches are different, all of which can be used as an extremely simple general direction guide, staying in the water-deficient stony desert is not a way, he can't go out if he doesn't believe it

The sun has not risen in the early morning, is the best time to hurry, the sky has been bright, Song Xiaoshuang, who is still full of red fruits, hangs a two-foot-long roasted snake meat around his neck, his hands are not empty, nibbling on a roasted lizard meat with the skin peeled off and the internal organs roasted, and walking in the direction he thinks is going east (the reason why he goes to the east is because it is easier to identify the direction and people are not easy to lose their sense of direction).

The sad lizard took advantage of the low temperature in the early morning to feed, and was found by Song Xiaoshuang, who set off in the sky, and saw a lizard nearly two feet long, with some mad desert color "coated" skin, crawling quickly on the sand pile next to the gray-brown rock, Song Xiaoshuang's eyes almost glowed green, and he took out the spiritual strength of the lion to fight the rabbit, and quickly knocked the lizard out and caught it alive, and like the cobra yesterday, he was sucked dry of the blood of the thirsty Song Xiaoshuang, Then Song Xiaoshuang spent some time finding plants that could be burned, peeling off the skin and making a barbecue.

The only thing that is a little different is that when Song Xiaoshuang sucked the blood of the lizard, the lizard was not completely dead, but the cobra was already dead, when the hot blood poured into Song Xiaoshuang's mouth, the dying lizard struggled vigorously in Song Xiaoshuang's hands, and the strength was very strong, and its dying struggle still touched a certain nerve in Song Xiaoshuang's heart, although nature follows the principle of the law of the jungle, in order to comfort the lizard's soul, and also to comfort himself, Song Xiaoshuang still recited the strange secret mantra for the first time, after the secret mantra, Song Xiaoshuang decided, The next time you catch an active animal to eat, it won't let it hurt as much as a lizard, and just give it a painful one.

Of course, the secret spell is one thing, the lizard meat is still eaten correctly, as a kind of top of the earth's food chain, people can be regarded as the most omnivorous animals, as long as they can be eaten, there will always be people who eat, this has nothing to do with the so-called morality and anything else, it all depends on what people think in their hearts, especially for humans who have no supplies in the wild, if they don't eat it, they can only wait for death, and lizard meat is only more cotton than chicken, and the meat quality is not bad, and it is a waste not to eat

The sun has risen, Song Xiaoshuang made a simple estimate according to the speed of walking, he has at least advanced twenty kilometers in this vast stony desert wasteland, this is still to remove the margin of continuous detours along the way, there is still half of the lizard barbecue in his hand, which was casually put on Song Xiaoshuang's shoulder, the long strip of barbecue swayed slightly with Song Xiaoshuang's pace, plus the snake meat hanging around his neck, it looked as weird as it was.

An earthy yellow color appeared at the end of the field of vision ahead, which was a different environment that Song Xiaoshuang had seen in the past day except for the rocky desert wasteland, which made him a little excited, knowing that he was about to walk out of the rocky desert wasteland.

Song Xiaoshuang, who had eaten three meals of barbecue and drank snake blood and lizard blood, recovered a lot of physical strength, climbed to the top of a higher rock in three or two, and stood on the top of the rock, but Song Xiaoshuang was completely dumbfounded, the end of the field of vision was a yellow color, it turned out to be a long yellow sand, at the end of the field of vision, the light yellow sand was blown up by the wind from time to time and flew all over the sky, according to the direction of the rising sun, Song Xiaoshuang knew that at least due north, northeast, east, and southeast were all the same, all deserts, this Tamad was originally the center of the great desert, what the hell is this place?

Finding that he actually appeared in the rocky desert wasteland in the hinterland of the desert, Song Xiaoshuang felt that God had played a malicious joke with him, Song Xiaoshuang didn't believe his eyes, and walked to the junction of the desert and the rocky desert at a much faster speed than just now, the walking speed was indeed a little fast, and the roasted lizard meat on his shoulder had to be pulled with one hand, otherwise it would fall.

When Song Xiaoshuang picked up a handful of yellow and white fine sand with dust, let the fine sand leak out of his fingers, and found that it was different from the pure single quartzite sand grain, he really believed that he was indeed standing in the center of the desert.

Looking at the long yellow sand in front of him, there are fewer desert plants than the rocky desert wasteland, but there are small thorny shrubs dotted with thorns next to the fixed low sand dunes, in addition to some low grasses, there are no plants on the mobile sand dunes at all, Song Xiaoshuang quickly changed his mind of going east, going east will go deep into the desert, he is not a native of the desert, he doesn't know where there is an oasis, and rashly breaking into it will only have the worst result, becoming a dried corpse mummy.

Thinking of this, Song Xiaoshuang walked southwest along the edge of the desert and the rocky desert, because when he stood at a high place to observe the environment just now, there seemed to be more plants in the desert in the southwest, and more plants meant that there was relatively more groundwater storage, and the urgency of finding drinking water made Song Xiaoshuang choose to turn back to the southwest, and if the situation was not right, he could also retreat to the rocky desert wasteland

Deep in the desert, in a tall sand dune leeward depression, there are common trimango plants in the desert, and two date palms more than ten meters high, several light yellow tents are camped in the sand next to the date palm trees, next to three large off-road vehicles with roof racks, several men wearing sandals on their feet with gray and white robes around their veils are using tools to strengthen the anchor points of several tents.

The thin canvas door of a tent was lifted, and out came a barefoot woman wearing a beige cotton uniform of the general field expedition team (clothes and pants with many cloth pockets), wearing black-rimmed glasses, holding a satellite phone with a long antenna in one hand, and a black hair in the other hand, and a few people who were reinforcing the tent with yellow-brown eyes, and with a hint of annoyance on her face, she shouted into the phone in pure French: "Don't talk about it, this ghost weather, the Berber guide said that there is likely to be a strong wind in the desert today." , not suitable for travel, what the office thinks, I don't care, it's all bureaucratic uncles"
