186 Found the riverbed
One, two, three, four......
The fresh water has been consumed, Xiao Zhan's eye sockets are deep, his lips are full of white skin, and clear blood mouths are presented on it, trying to close his mouth to reduce the loss of water.
It was night, it was extremely cold, and although there was no shortage of high-calorie food, he did not dare to eat it, because high-calorie food must need more water to digest, and in the absence of water, he did not dare to eat a mouthful of food, even if it would be shivering from the cold.
Continue south, using the starlight to find possible ancient river channels.
Xiao Zhan's speed became sluggish, and he walked forward little by little, leaving a long trail of footprints.
Under the cold starlight, he gives people a feeling of loneliness to the point of dying.
No, it's not that I feel it, but if I can't find fresh water anymore, Xiao Zhan will have to die here.
When he was in the lonely island rainforest, he had a hundred ways to make his life very nourishing, but in this place, he couldn't help it.
Even if the survival skills in the desert appear in my mind, almost ninety-nine percent of them are not used here.
Scorpion? Not here!
Viper? Not here!
Spider? No!
Where even camel thorns don't grow, these things certainly don't grow because of the lack of water.
"Ah!! ——”
As the sun rose, Xiao Zhan knelt on a sand mountain, raising his fists and screaming in despair at the rising sun.
He knew his own physical condition, and he couldn't survive this day anymore.
He had developed severe dehydration.
The skin was dry like tree bark, the veins were collapsed, I didn't urinate for two days, and my limbs were cold.
In addition, he was dizzy and unconscious, and he could hear the irregular beating of his heart, and his chest had a dull pain all the time because of the lack of blood supply......
When the sun rises, this phenomenon will intensify until the heart finally collapses on the ground due to insufficient blood supply, and then the cells are separated and lost due to lack of water, and slowly turn into an air-dried corpse.
"What a weird thing I am, play with myself......"
At this time, Xiao Zhan wanted to cry without tears, even if he really cried, he couldn't cry tears.
This is a typical way for him to play by himself, and when people play by themselves, he is sitting in an air-conditioned room, smoking a cigarette and watching a film, and his left hand is tired and changing to his right hand.
He plays by himself, and he plays with himself to death.
Survival skills?
No!!!
No survival skills are of any use here, no plants, no creatures, nothing but yellow sand and sand, this is the most desperate place to die.
Some people say that when you are adrift on the sea, you are the most desperate, but it is not even a tenth of what is here, at least the sea water everywhere gives people a different feeling.
Water represents life, but what does sand represent?
What can you see in a place full of yellow sand? What can come to mind?
Desert sand like snow? Or is it the desert wind and dust and the sun is dark, and the red flag is half rolled out of the gate? Or is it that the poor desert birds don't fly, and the dreams of thousands of mountains are still lazy?
No, the only thing that can be thought of is death.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of death is composed of yellow sand, rising from the sand, the sand is immortal, and the god of death is immortal.
But no matter how Xiao Zhan roared, the sun still rose high, making the sand that had become cold at night hot, and finally it became extremely hot little by little.
Xiao Zhan refused to give up, he staggered and walked on the sand dunes, the consciousness of the whole person was about to disappear, and everything in front of him became blurred, except for yellow or yellow.
"Rustling ......"
Just when he thought his life was coming to an end, a rustling sound reached his ears, and his spirit was shaken violently: lizard!
At this moment, the consciousness that was about to disappear returned to his body, and his blurred vision became clear again, and he really saw a small lizard crawling quickly on the sand, leaving a long series of tiny footprints.
Looking at the footprints, Xiao Zhan's eyes became extremely surprised, and he ran frantically towards the bottom of the sand dunes.
"Poof!"
The body fell heavily on the sand and rolled down the slope.
It's a riverbed, it's a riverbed!
Although the riverbed is also sand, its shape is there.
When looking for water in the desert, the riverbed must be the most important goal.
If there is a riverbed, it means that there was a river; Once there was a river, it means that there was life.
Even if the groundwater is diverted, as long as there is a riverbed, dig hard, and you will definitely dig wet sand.
And the moisture contained in the wet sand is enough to save lives.
Xiao Zhan, who fell, let himself roll down, he climbed to the riverbed that he didn't know how many years it had existed, and took out a sapper shovel to dig down frantically.
"Rustling ......"
Shovel after shovel, the sand hole dug deeper and deeper, and in the blink of an eye, it was dug more than two meters deep.
"Sand! Sand!! Sand!!! ”
Xiao Zhan made an excited sound, buried his head directly in it, and sniffed the taste inside.
It's wet sand, and even though it contains very little moisture, the moisture is so beautiful.
"Whew! Call! ……”
While inhaling wildly, he exhaled the dry breath in his mouth, and Xiao Zhan's face began to show enjoyment.
That's right, it's enjoyment, and in this case, a wisp of air with water molecules can make him feel like he is falling in the cool water of a lake.
Dig, keep digging!
With hope, there is motivation, Xiao Zhan tirelessly dug down, digging this sand pit bigger and bigger, digging seven or eight meters deep, and the whole person was in the sand hole.
As you dig deeper, the sand below contains more and more water, and in the end it is slurry.
Xiao Zhan quickly took off the Arabian square scarf, held the moist sand on it, and then wrapped it tightly, acting as a gauze, twisting and squeezing it vigorously to let the moisture contained in it seep out.
A drop of yellow water appeared at the bottom, and Xiao Zhan almost burst into tears when he watched it.
He stretched out his tongue and gently licked the drop of water, instantly feeling that he had the whole ocean.
Saved!
As long as there is water, the desert is no longer so scary, even if the water is muddy, but it is water after all.
Constantly shaving wet sand, constantly squeezing out water and drinking, Xiao Zhan's mental state instantly improved by half.
"Ah...... It's so cool! Xiao Zhan raised his head and let out a moan.
The sun is not as terrifying as it was in previous years; Yellow sand is no more than ......
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed fiercely, staring at a person who suddenly appeared on the sand pit like a ghost.
This is a man wrapped in a robe, showing only a pair of eyes, emitting a chilling light, which makes people can't help but feel a sense of fear, as if he is already a dead man, stared at by death.
"Coming?" The man asked in a voice like tearing his vocal cords.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Zhan subconsciously pulled out his saber and stared at the man above from bottom to top.
"Death." The man was condescending and smiled: "I've been waiting for you for five years, and you're finally here!" ”
