Chen Badai nakedly satirized Xia Ruobing who didn't know the hardships of people's livelihood, although Xia Ruobing's family background is not very rich, but it is definitely a well-off family, in addition to having no parents since childhood, in terms of food, clothing and housing, grandparents and grandparents are not a little sloppy, in Xia Ruobing's view, this is a kind of compensation for the elders for their lack of parents, plus Xia Ruobing is beautiful and smart, in the eyes of ordinary people, she has the arrogance that other girls do not have, if it weren't for Xia Ruobing's choice of such a profession that surprised many people, In her life, she decided to have any intersection with a small person like Chen Badai.

"He's just a little cheap, but he's not a bad person." Wang Xingguo saw that Xia Ruobing was a little angry, and persuaded him.

"Wang Xingguo, he's not as simple as being cheap." Xia Ruobing said, but after thinking about it, it was inconvenient to say something, so she had to change her words, "How is Mr. Min?" ”

Wang Xingguo looked at Mr. Min who was sitting on the edge of the rock cone, he seemed to have suffered a serious blow, his face was a little not good, he rubbed the badge in his hand, and saw Wang Xingguo looking at him, and squeezed out a little smile on his face.

"He should be fine." Wang Xingguo said in a low voice.

"I don't have a lot of equipment left, but it should be enough, and I'm more worried about the water." Sherpa finished checking the equipment and walked over to Wang Xingguo and said.

"That's what I'm worried about, too." Wang Xingguo said that since they were chased by the cannibals yesterday, they have not replenished the kettle, and escaping the chase consumes a lot of physical strength and water, and he believes that everyone's water is running out, and there is no river here, but because of the low terrain, there may be puddles in some low-lying places.

But it was not a good place to store water, the ground was smooth, and although there were some puddles, which had been raining heavily in the previous days, these shallow puddles were quickly evaporated by the sun, and the cracks and holes in the lower places channeled all the rainwater into the ground, and it was a place that was drier and hotter than a desert unless it rained.

Not long after the sun rose, Chen Badai felt that he missed the sun a little too early, he had never longed for a cloudy day so much now, and the heat of the sun turned this rocky field into a huge iron plate! Even when you step on the thick sole of your hiking boots, you can still feel the soles of your feet stepping on a red-hot iron plate.

In order to prevent the danger of subsidence, everyone should not move too fast, which increased the time for everyone to be exposed to the iron plate, three hours have passed, most people's kettles have bottomed out, Chen Badai raised his head and covered his eyes with his hands, and glanced at the blue sky, hoping to float a dark cloud to block the overly generous sun.

Sharjah licked his chapped lips, although he was tired and frightened a few days ago, at least the water was enough, but at this time, he didn't even have a water bottle, and he cried out weakly, "Poor eight generations...... Water! ”

"Third brother, there is no water for a long time." Chen Badai shook his kettle helplessly, almost all of his equipment was lost, but the few things that saved his life were still on his belt, but since yesterday, in order to serve this local tyrant, almost all the water he had left was poured into his stomach, and there was no water at this time.

Sharjah Jean turned his gaze for help to Crussell, who shook his head helplessly, his water had run out an hour earlier.

Wang Xingguo shook his kettle, and there was a small half pot of water, which was only about 100 ml, he looked at Xia Ruobing, Xia Ruobing just wanted to say that he still had some water, Wang Xingguo took the first step: "I still have water here, let's share it." ”

Hearing that there was water to drink, Sharjah Jean and Krussell arrived in front of Wang Xingguo as if they knew how to teleport, Wang Xingguo unscrewed the lid of the kettle and carefully poured the water into the lid of the kettle: "One lid per person, not too much." ”

The water in this pot can only moisten the throat, but there are no more requirements at this time, but this little water is just a drop in the bucket for thirsty people, Wang Xingguo feels that he should try to find a cool place to avoid the sun.

If a person drinks water scientifically, 500-600 ml a day will not affect health, but at this time, if the water in the team is evenly distributed, no one is less than 20 ml, which is already too much below the critical value, at this time, as the sun rises, the surface temperature is rising steadily, Wang Xingguo estimates that the temperature at this time has been 45 °, high heat and dryness will quickly deplete the body's water, and it will not be long before someone gets heat stroke and then falls into deep heat stroke, he wants to avoid trouble before the worse happens.

"We found a shady place to stop and wait for the plane." Wang Xingguo said, but it was not easy to find a cool place, and about half an hour later, Wang Xingguo found an area densely covered with cracks, which was the shade he needed.

Wang Xingguo asked everyone to use the projection of the volcanic rock cone to lie down in these cracks, these cracks are one meter deep, and the shallow ones are half a meter deep, in the high heat zone, the temperature in the shade will be a few degrees lower than in the sun, but if the recess in the shade can be lowered by ten degrees, it is the temperature difference of ten degrees, but it is the key to persevering.

The inconvenience of using the volcanic cone for shade is that it doesn't take long for you to move with the shadows, but since you lie down to the crack, you feel a lot more comfortable.

Wang Xingguo plans to use these cracks until the search and rescue planes arrive, and he believes that the planes will fly over the area, when he plans to distribute the few remaining equipment to everyone, and then burn a backpack and use the black smoke from the backpack to send a signal to the plane.

This is the best way Wang Xingguo can think of, all the walkie-talkies and satellite phones have been lost, and they cannot communicate with the outside world, but as long as they can attract the attention of search and rescue planes, then the probability of their survival will be greatly improved.

But if the plane didn't come, it would be troublesome, just now Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing quietly confirmed, her kettle is only less than 100 ml of water left, and Sherpa and Mr. Min's kettle is also empty, in such a hot environment, 100 ml of water is not enough for half a day, let alone 8 people.

Wang Xingguo quietly told Xia Ruobing that he must not let others know that he still has water, for such a temporary patchwork team, Wang Xingguo has always not believed in morality, when life and death are at stake, the selfish side of human nature will be exposed, and the desire to survive will overcome some moral norms at this time.

"Wang Xingguo, water!" Sharjah Rang shouted weakly, not so much as an order, but begging Wang Xingguo to give him a little more water, even a drop.

For the pampered Sharjah Jean, when did he suffer like this? At this time, if Wang Xingguo proposed a million US dollars of water for the lid of the kettle, Sharjah Jean felt that he would agree to this "reasonable" price, after all, at this time, how to survive is the most important.

Wang Xingguo silently handed him the kettle, and Sharjah Jean couldn't wait to unscrew the kettle and tilt his head, but the kettle only dripped a few drops of water, barely moistening Sharjah Jean's mouth, and Sharjah Jean shook the kettle, trying to shake the last drop of water out of the kettle, but he found that it was in vain.

Mr. Min saw the kettle and stuck out his tongue to lick his chapped lips, hoping that Sharjah would save himself a sip after drinking, but the kettle was empty.

"Isn't that new?" Sharjah Jean looked at Wang Xingguo, and Wang Xingguo shook his head.

Sharjah Jean looked at Xia Ruobing again, Xia Ruobing was a little weak, and put his head down.

"No way, we should still have water, I'll pay $100,000! As long as anyone can give me a sip of water! $100,000! "Sharjah can't accept this reality.

Chen Badai shook his head helplessly, now that he had 100,000 dollars of real money in front of him, he couldn't earn it.

"This is the punishment for wasting water in normal times." Kerry licked his chapped lips and laughed at himself, his mouth now unable to produce any saliva.

"Everyone is scattered in the shade and lie down, the search and rescue plane's route will pass by here, and I will get in touch with it to get supplies." Wang Xingguo had no choice but to comfort everyone like this.

"Hah! Search and rescue aircraft? When will it arrive? "Sharjah made some despair.

"If it takes off early in the morning, I think it's about two to three hours before it gets here." Wang Xingguo estimated the time and said.

"What if it doesn't take off today?" Sharjah sneered.

"I can't answer this question, Mr. Sharjah Jean, I think you should keep your strength and calm so that you can last longer." Wang Xingguo said.

This sentence seemed to pierce the anger that swelled up in Sharjah, and he had to admit that even if he was angry now, God would not give him a drop of water! He could only admit that he was unlucky and found a crack in the stone and lay down, at least here he could get temporary shade.

"Why don't you let me tell everyone there's water?" Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing were lying together in a wider stone crevice, and Xia Ruobing asked in a low voice in his ear.

"Because if you let them know that there is still water, there will be infighting, and it will be serious infighting." Wang Xingguo said in a low voice, "Keep the water for yourself, don't tell anyone, this is to protect everyone's safety." ”

"Okay......" Xia Ruobing felt a little unbearable, he obviously had some water, but he could only watch everyone endure the thirst.

"Damn, I can't take it anymore......" Crossell had already changed several cracks in a few hours, and the sun never let him go, and his thirst and irritability tormented him, and he almost went crazy.

"Why hasn't the plane come yet?" Crussell was almost roaring, he felt not only smoke in his throat now, he felt as if a little spark would ignite all over his body, although the roar made his throat even more uncomfortable, as if it were torn, but he didn't care, if anyone gave him a shot at this time, he even felt a relief.

Wang Xingguo looked at his watch, it had been a long time since the expected time, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was raging, Kerry was curled up in the crack of the ground at this time, his whole body was hot, Chen Badai and Mr. Min also felt weak, and they couldn't even move their mouths to speak, which was a symptom of heat stroke.

"Wang Xingguo, give everyone the water...... Xia Ruobing was a little unbearable, it was very dangerous now, maybe this water could make everyone support it longer.

"Nope." Wang Xingguo refused, "Now we have to strictly control the water." ”

"But...... At least let Kerry and Mr. Min drink a little, they are already suffering from heat stroke. Xia Ruobing saw Kerry and Mr. Min curled up, and was moved by compassion.

"It's not the most dangerous yet." Wang Xingguo still refused.

Wang Xingguo plans to hold on for a while, the sun will set in the west in two hours, when the temperature drops, it will be better to divide the water, drinking water in the hottest time is not effective.

"Wang Xingguo, this is too inhumane." Xia Ruobing said.

"In the face of an existential crisis, human nature is not reliable." Wang Xingguo said in a low voice.

"It's cruel......"

"Ruobing, listen to Wang Xingguo!" Sherpa forced her body and pulled Xia Ruobing: "We must hold on now......"
