Chapter 89: Despair in the Desert (2)
Li Dongsheng silently looked around at his teammates and delegation members. The faces of the members of the delegation were filled with exhaustion and frustration. Lai knew that if he could not find an effective way to treat the injured and solve the problem of drinking water, the members of the oil delegation who had not undergone any survival training could break down at any time due to the shortage of food, fresh water and the extremely harsh desert environment.
Li Dongsheng realized that in the current harsh environment of isolation, the whole team has fallen into a desperate situation. Fresh water must be found now, otherwise there will be no enemy interception, and it will be difficult for the assault team to get out of the endless Sahara Desert with hostages.
When Li Dongsheng was anxious, Wan Lin's voice came from the microphone: "Report, we found a large amount of dust in the sky 50 kilometers ahead, from the area of dust, it does not look like it is naturally caused by dust, it should be caused by some kind of large vehicle or a large number of people."
The roof leak happened to be rainy. Li Dongsheng was worried about the wounded and food and fresh water, and now that a large number of enemies had appeared, Li Dongsheng's face was even more gloomy. He quickly ordered Lingling to bring the device over, and said, "Immediately detect the electronic signal ahead."
Xiaoli quickly opened the electronic countermeasure box, and then eagerly reported that "there is a radio signal 50 kilometers ahead, and a more powerful electronic signal appears about 80 kilometers away", after speaking, she raised her head and looked at Li Dongsheng silently.
After listening to Xiaoli's report, Li Dongsheng turned around with a deep face and walked towards a stone pillar standing nearby, came to a cat's waist in front of the nearly 20-meter-high stone pillar, got up and jumped more than two meters high, climbed back and forth on the stone pillar with both hands a few times, and kicked the stone pillar a few times with the soles of his feet, climbing to the top of the pillar like a monkey.
The members of the oil delegation below saw Li Dongsheng's fast and agile skills, and their mouths opened wide with an "ah". Li Dongsheng took out a telescope at the top of the column and looked ahead, because the distance was too far, he could only see the sand and dust in the distance approaching them little by little. He observed for a while, jumped down from a stone pillar more than 20 meters high with a telescope in his hand, and called into the microphone, "Wan Lin, hear the answer", "Wan Lin received, please instruct" Wan Lin replied.
"Return immediately," Li Dongsheng ordered. When he was watching, he suddenly thought of the scene when he was bitten by a snake when he picked up Wan Lin in Wan Lin's hometown, and Wan Lin said that it was Xiaohua's saliva that saved him. Now that there are so many people who have been bitten by snakes, there are two fighters among them, why not ask Wan Lin to come back with Xiaohua to see if he can rescue the people who were bitten by snakes, especially Qidong and Wei Chao, these are combatants.
Wan Lin received Li Dongsheng's order and immediately ran back with Zhang Wa with Xiaohua. He and Zhang Wa ran to Li Dongsheng to "report, Wan Lin and Zhang Wa were ordered to return". After Li Dongsheng returned the salute, he looked at Xiaohua who was lying at Wan Lin's feet and said, "Now several people have been bitten by poisonous snakes, Wan Lin, you take Xiaohua over to take a look", he pointed to several wounded people beside Xiao Ya.
"Yes," Wan Lin replied as he walked over to Xiaoya with Xiaohua and asked, "Sister, what snake bite did they get into?" Xiaoya bent down and picked up Xiaohua and stroked his head, and replied, "I was bitten by a Sahara Desert pit viper and a rattlesnake, and now the two bitten rattlesnakes have hallucinations, and the situation is very dangerous," said as she untied the bandages on the legs of the two delegation members who were bitten by rattlesnakes.
When the bandages were opened, the calves of the two members were already swollen as thick as their thighs, the skin on the legs was stretched to only a thin layer of transparent skin, the thick blood vessels and muscles were clearly visible through the skin, and the part of the snake bite had turned black, and yellow-black pus was constantly flowing out.
Wan Lin frowned and took out from his backpack the medicinal powder that his grandfather had brought to him to treat poisonous insect bites when he joined the army and left home, and carefully sprinkled them on the wounds of the two wounded. Xiaoya asked next to her, "What kind of powder did you sprinkle?" "It's grandpa's own powder for treating poisonous insect bites with the blood of Xiaohua and some herbs," Wan Lin explained.
Xiao Ya, who knew Xiaohua's many magics, rubbed Xiaohua's head affectionately, and said to Wan Lin: "You also give some to the rest of the team members who were bitten, and I will observe the curative effect in a while."
Wan Lin sprinkled the powder on the wounds of the bitten team members. After sprinkling the medicinal powder, Xiao Ya tied the wounded man's bandage again, walked to Wan Lin's side and sat down tiredly, leaning his head weakly on Wan Lin's shoulder.
Wan Lin looked at the originally beautiful Xiaoya's emaciated and rough face and chapped lips that were destroyed by the wind and sand, and suddenly felt a pinprick in his heart. He silently picked up Xiaoya's kettle and shook it, it was empty, and only a little sound of water was heard. Wan Lin took off his kettle from his body, opened the lid of the kettle, and poured most of the pot of water into Xiaoya's kettle.
Xiao Ya, who looked down and didn't know what to think, heard the sound of water, raised her head and saw Wan Lin filling her kettle with water, quickly grabbed his hand, looked at Wan Lin with both eyes, shook her head slowly, grabbed her own kettle and wanted to pour the water back into Wan Lin's kettle. Wan Lin tried his best to take back his kettle, and whispered, "Sister, I don't need so much water, Xiaohua and I rarely drink water, Xiaohua will find what she needs, my qigong has been practiced to the Bigu stage, and a small amount of food and water can be maintained every day, you don't have to worry about me."
After listening to Wan Lin's words, Xiao Ya slowly took the kettle sent by Wan Lin, her eyes were a little red. She knew that Wan Lin had given herself all the water to save her life, and the stubborn Wan Lin would not let herself return the water.
Xiaoya stretched out her hand and shook Wan Lin's hand vigorously, patted Xiaohua's head and said, "The medicine should work, let's see how the wounded are after taking the medicine", got up and walked to the two members who were bitten by the rattlesnake first.
"Ah, the fever has subsided," Xiaoya exclaimed. The originally burned red faces of the two team members had returned to normal, Xiao Ya reached out and touched their foreheads, "The body temperature is basically normal, how can Grandpa's medicine be so effective" Xiao Ya glanced at Wan Lin on the side in surprise.
Wan Lin took out the remaining medicinal powder from his bag and handed it to Xiao Ya, "This is the secret recipe that my grandfather configured with the blood of Xiaohua and some detoxification herbs in the mountains." Now there's so much left, you take it."
Xiao Ya took the medicine bag and put it in her medicine box, and looked at the rest of the wounded, several people who were bitten by the Sahara Desert Viper had already stood up from the ground and slowly moved their injured legs. Seeing that the person bitten by the snake had improved, Xiaoya and Wan Lin walked to the seriously injured Wang Hong's stretcher.
Seeing Xiaoya and Wan Lin coming over, Wang Hong raised his head from the stretcher and tried to struggle to sit up. Wan Lin hurriedly held him down and asked him, "Is it better?" Wang Hong smiled and said, "It's much better." Thank you, brother, for saving my life". Wan Lin shook his head and said, "What is the thanks, we brothers still need to talk about this." Sister, look at his wounds again."
