I haven't eaten for nearly twenty hours since dinner yesterday, so it's no wonder I'm so hungry. Su Yichen got up and planned to go to the car to find something to eat, but at this time, Wan Changchun also woke up.

"Teacher Wan, I'll go find something to eat." Su Yichen lowered his voice and said, Wan Changchun nodded slightly, at this time, not only was he hungry, but even Gu Damai's stomach on the side was rumbling.

A lot of luggage was dropped in the car, but there were still some reserves of dry food, Su Yichen found a few cans, and Gu Damai skillfully opened them with a bayonet. There are no chopsticks, so they directly grab them with their hands and send them to their mouths, and Su Yichen, who doesn't taste very good, is very fragrant.

After gobbling up a can, Su Yichen, who only felt that he was three points full, was about to eat another one, when Gu Damai, who was holding the can to wake up Hu Zhijun, turned around and suddenly shouted to them, saying that there was something wrong with Hu Zhijun.

"What's wrong?" Wan Changchun hurriedly and Su Yichen hurried to Hu Zhijun's side.

"The platoon commander seems to have a fever." Gu Damai said anxiously, and when he looked closer, he saw that Hu Zhijun, who was leaning on, had a sickly flush on his face, his lips were chapped and white, and the corners of his mouth were ulcerated.

Wan Changchun hurriedly squatted down and probed Hu Zhijun's forehead, the tentacles were hot, and then called everyone to help, and took a look at the bandages of his wounds.

"How?"

"It's not good, Lao Hu's wound is already inflamed." Wan Changchun frowned and replied, although emergency treatment was done at that time, and white medicine was also applied, but because of the conditions, Hu Zhijun's wound was only washed down with water and not disinfected, judging from the wound situation, the white medicine did not play too much role, coupled with the bumps and high tension of this night, when the spirit relaxed all of a sudden, Hu Zhijun's wound quickly deteriorated, and at the same time caused a high fever.

In this case, if the problem is not too big in the hospital, but they are now in the desert, let alone find a hospital nearby, there is not even a suitable medicine, and it is even unknown when they will be able to return to the 781 base.

Hu Zhijun's injury is very tricky, the most important thing now is to cool him down and reduce inflammation, especially the former, if you don't want to reduce the high fever, this alone can kill Hu Zhijun, even if you can find a hospital by leaving the desert as quickly as possible, you will have to burn out your brain for a long time.

"Go find some water, quick!" Wan Changchun shouted in a low voice.

Su Yichen hurriedly ran to the side of the car to rummage, and found that the water they were carrying was only a jug.

"Teacher Wan, water!" Holding the only kettle, Su Yichen hurriedly handed it to Wan Changchun.

"That's it? Not much more? Wan Changchun shook the water in the kettle and asked Su Yichen.

Su Yichen shook his head.

After thinking about it, Wan Changchun decisively said to Gu Damai: "Xiao Gu, you go and smoke some gasoline from the car." ”

"Gasoline?" Gu Damai was stunned, he couldn't understand why Wan Changchun wanted gasoline at this time? This gasoline is not water, so you can't drink it!

"If you want to save Lao Hu, do as I say!" Wan Changchun didn't explain for a moment, Gu Damai nodded again and again, handed over Hu Zhijun in his arms to Su Yichen to take care of, and hurriedly ran to get gasoline.

Finding a pipe, Gudamai took some gasoline from the tank and asked Wan Changchun if it was enough. Wan Changchun glanced at it and said that it was not enough, so he asked Gu Damai to get some more, and at the same time asked Su Yichen to help take off Hu Zhijun's clothes, and then wiped his body with a towel dipped in gasoline.

At this time, Su Yichen suddenly realized that Wan Changchun's true intention was to do this. Wan Changchun wanted to use physical cooling methods to lower the temperature on Hu Zhijun's body and help him reduce his fever.

Gasoline is a very volatile thing, and it also takes away a lot of heat when it volatilizes in the air. This method is similar to the principle of alcohol cooling. Constantly wiping Hu Zhijun's hot limbs and forehead with a towel covered with gasoline, Su Yichen obviously felt that his hands were gradually starting to grow heavy, but he knew that this was a normal reaction of volatilization and taking away heat.

After wiping for half an hour and using up five empty cans of gasoline, Hu Zhijun's fever gradually subsided, and as the fever subsided, the flush on his face also faded, and his forehead was not as hot as before.

After a while, Hu Zhijun finally let out a low moan, Wan Changchun was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly unscrewed the lid of the kettle, put the spout on Hu Zhijun's mouth and shouted: "Old Hu! Lao Hu! Drink some water! ”

Hu Zhijun subconsciously opened his mouth and drank a few sips, and with the moisture of the water, his face looked better. After a while, I finally came to my senses.

"This ...... What's going on? When he opened his eyes, Hu Zhijun saw three people surrounding him, and he seemed to be lying in the arms of one of them, the air was filled with a strong smell of gasoline, and he subconsciously struggled to sit up, but his whole body was soft and he didn't obey the call.

"Don't move!" Wan Changchun stopped Hu Zhijun's movements, suing him that he had a high fever caused by the deterioration of his wounds, and that he was now just trying to find a way to suppress his burn.

Hu Zhijun suddenly realized, and at the same time understood how the smell of gasoline in the air came from. He didn't expect that the wound would deteriorate to this point, looking at Wan Changchun, Su Yichen and Gu Damai in front of him, Hu Zhijun smiled bitterly in his heart, it was really not the right time for him, he originally wanted to stick to the base, but who knew that the deterioration of the wound would come sooner than expected.

"What time is it?" Although his body was extremely weak, Hu Zhijun's mind was still clear, he knew that his task was to take the two experts to the 781 base, but due to an unexpected encounter with wolves, he had missed the time to return, and now that he was in the desert, his injury was worsening, and he could not delay any longer.

Su Yichen looked at his watch and told him the time, Hu Zhijun asked about the fuel condition of Gudamai car, and after understanding this, he estimated it and decided to rush overnight.

"It's not safe to travel at night, right? What if I run into wolves again? Wan Changchun asked.

"No, after staying here for so long, the wolves haven't chased after us, which means that we are completely safe, and the remaining fuel is insufficient, and it is impossible to go back to the 781 base directly, so we must rush to the nearest supply point to replenish the fuel, and report to the base at the same time."

"Do you know there's a supply point nearby?" Su Yichen asked in surprise.

"I only know the general direction, and last year there was an oil exploration team that set up a supply depot, and if I guessed correctly, it should be in the north, and if I was lucky enough to walk along the edge of the desert, I should be able to find it. Besides, it doesn't matter if we can't find a supply station, there is a road to the north that runs from east to west, and if we find that road, we can go to the nearest town. Hu Zhijun said with confidence, Gu Damai nodded on the side, he and the platoon commander had been to that supply station once, and according to the general direction of their invasion of the desert, it should be nearly a hundred kilometers to the north.

The reason why Hu Zhijun insisted on setting off overnight was due to the reasons he said, and also to take into account his own injuries. It's not to worry about his injury, as a staunch People's Liberation Army, Hu Zhijun is just worried that if his injury worsens, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive tomorrow, once he is completely unconscious, not only will they not be able to help Wan Changchun, but they will also drag everyone down, not to find the supply station as soon as possible while he is awake now, so that even if he finally falls, it will not affect the completion of this mission.

After making a decision, Hu Zhijun asked Gu Damai and Su Yichen to make preparations before departure, and he ate a can of food with the help of Wan Changchun. In fact, like Hu Zhijun's current situation, let alone eating, even if he smells greasy, he can't swallow it, but Hu Zhijun himself knows that no matter what, he must stuff some food to supplement nutrition, only in this way can he have the strength to continue to persevere.

Ten minutes later, before the sun had all set, the four of them drove east, drove some distance and then drove north. Along the way, in order to stay awake, Hu Zhijun and Wan Changchun beside him kept talking, insisting on not letting themselves fall asleep. An hour later, the sky gradually darkened, but today they were lucky, the moonlight was obviously much brighter than last night, and Su Yichen, who was driving, could barely see the road ahead, and the vehicle went all the way north in the bumps.

On the monotonous way forward, I don't know how long it took, after driving nearly a hundred kilometers, Gudamai, who had better eyes, suddenly cheered, pointed to the front and said excitedly: "Supply station!" ”

"Where?"

"It's right ahead! See! Front left! ”

Following the direction of Gu Damai's finger, Su Yichen finally saw a building-like black dot in the distance in front of him, because the distance was too far to see the appearance of the building, but it was certain that this was definitely not a rock or a hill, because in that direction there were flat deserts all around, and this black dot was very obvious standing there.

"Great! That's great! Wan Changchun was very excited, and said to Hu Zhijun with a smile: "Old Hu, if you hold on a little longer, we will go to the supply station immediately, and it will be good when we get to the place." ”

Hu Zhijun also showed a relieved smile on his face, he was relieved to find the supply station, as long as he got there to borrow the radio station and contact the base, he didn't have to worry about the completion of the next mission.

The appearance of the supply station made the atmosphere in the car much more relaxed all of a sudden, Su Yichen turned on the steering wheel and drove the 212 jeep towards the supply station quickly, as the distance gradually narrowed, the black dot slowly became larger, and it was indeed a building by the moonlight.

When he drove about a kilometer away from the target, the smile on Su Yichen's face gradually faded, revealing an extremely puzzled expression, because the closer he got to the place, he found that the scale of the building seemed to be a little too large, and it was very strange that there was no light in front of him.
