Stealing a quote from a TV series and modifying it slightly......

If you love someone, take her with you to see the African savannah parade during the rainy season, because it is paradise there.

If you hate someone, throw her into the African savannah during the dry season, because that's the hell of death!

During the rainy season, the African savannah, the meandering rivers and lush grass on both sides of the river, rely on these lifelines to reproduce, showing the beauty and dynamism of nature to the fullest. But in the dry season, this tropical savannah with a desert climate can not rain for months, the rivers dry up, the animals are forced to migrate, and the old, weak, sick and disabled will be eliminated by nature in the most cruel environment of the year, and perform one after another, the most helpless tragedy of life.

Half heaven, half hell, this is the truest portrayal of the African savannah.

When they entered the inaccessible savannah of Botswana, the dry season here had lasted for four and a half months.

What appeared in front of them in the Wind Shadow Building was a world of withered grass and depression, and everywhere they could see was a desperate and dry withered yellow, and on both sides of the riverbed that had dried up to the point that only yellow sand remained, only those sparse Bobabu trees remained, because of the developed root system, they were deeply submerged into the ground more than ten meters deep, and they could still maintain a piece of verdant green.

And Xiaoxiao stepped into this land, and the first feeling was hot, terrible heat.

How could a person like him, who had never received training in desert terrain adaptation, not be hot when he came to the savannah where he hid in the shade and the temperature still exceeded 42 degrees Celsius even at three o'clock in the afternoon?!

"Seven days, from the time Nona released the battle document to the world through the TV station, to the time when the enemy really organized the troops to pursue, there should be seven days. Over the next seven days, I'll teach you how to adapt to the dry season in the African savannah, and if you end up not being able to meet my requirements, I'm sorry, you'll have to quit the game. ”

Hearing the words of the Wind Shadow Building, he smiled a little who was fanning his face with his hat, and nodded subconsciously. Feng Yinglou walked over, took the hat from Xiao Xiaoxiao's hand, and put it back on Xiao Xiaoxiao's head upright, "First lesson, although this is a grassland, it is still located in the Kahalari Desert, with an average temperature of 42.3 degrees Celsius, and an average temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. In this kind of hot environment, you fan the wind with your hat, not only will you not take away your body heat, but you will only make yourself hotter and hotter because of the constant movement of your body. ”

Indeed, the wind from the hat will only make people feel hotter.

Feng Yinglou took off the kettle on Xiao Xiaoxiao's body, shook it gently, and listened to the "rustle" sound of only half a pot of water left in it, shaking back and forth, he said indifferently: "Although it is easier to find water sources here than in the desert, this does not mean that you can drink water uncontrollably, you know, drinking too much water will also produce 'water poisoning'." ”

"Another point, don't always wash your face with cool water, this will bring temporary comfort, but repeated washing will take away the natural oil secretion on your face, making the skin more prone to dryness and wrinkles, and it is also more likely to be invaded by the pervasive creatures and natural viruses on the prairie."

Listening to Fengyinglou's advice, Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and widened, he was an authentic northerner, he had hardly lived in a southern city, not to mention, and even in the kind of Tibetan province where it snowed all year round, there were nine months of snow, he had been a soldier for several years, and his ability to resist the cold was absolutely amazing, but in the face of heat, he was not as good as an ordinary person.

Don't let you drink water frequently, don't let you wash your face, don't let you fan the wind with your hat, Xiao Xiaoxiao is really worried, within two days, he will lose the qualification to act with Fengying Building because of heat stroke.

The two of them walked in the African savannah for about an hour and a half, and Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was carrying about forty kilograms of weight on his back, had begun to gasp slightly, and he was surprised to find that in such a short period of time, he had actually developed slight fatigue symptoms. It was only at this time that Xiao Xiaoxiao finally understood why before entering this savannah, Fengyinglou insisted that Nona find a way to buy two three-liter packs and put them in a military backpack, so that she could drink fresh water directly through the straw in her mouth.

Drinking a lot of water frequently will cause the body to "water poisoning", but if you gently sip a small sip of water every ten minutes, you can replenish the water lost by the body in time and keep yourself away from the "thirsty" state to the greatest extent. If they had to repeat the same sequence every hour, "take out the kettle, twist the lid open, put the water in the mouth, re-tighten the lid, and put the kettle back in place," they would do the same thing about 50 times a day.

Although such an action seems simple and requires little effort, for special forces who are truly proficient in field survival, they can live longer and hold out longer than the enemy, because they link these details together until they form an overall advantage.

When the two of them walked to a riverbed that had dried up, Feng Yinglou glanced at the military watch on his wrist and whispered, "Rest for half an hour!" ”

According to conventional tactics, when the special forces are moving in a desert area with high temperatures, they should take a break every hour, and the time for each break should be compressed to about fifteen minutes, and the order of the Wind Shadow Building obviously violates such a convention.

But Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just carried the heavier and heavier military backpack on his back, walked to a Bobabu tree, and prepared to lie down quietly in the shade under the big tree, and use a short rest to recover his physical strength, which was at least three times faster than usual because he was not adapted to the environment.

Although Xiao Xiaoxiao is usually unruly, he is by no means stupid, he clearly understands that in the savannah, he is a rookie-level beginner, if he wants to use the shortest time to adapt to the harshest natural environment, and be recognized by the Wind Shadow Building, after participating in a week, the upcoming life-and-death battle, he must let himself return to the "zero" mentality, as a recruit, accept any command and arrangement of the Wind Shadow Building.

In the desert, in shady places where direct sunlight does not shine, the temperature is 11 to 17 degrees Celsius cooler than the outside world, and in this African savannah, this rule is still in force. Xiaoxiao honestly lay on the backpack, separated from the hot ground, and buckled his hat to his face.

However, Feng Yinglou did not lie in the dark corner of the big tree like Xiao Xiaoxiao, after he put down his military backpack, he took out a sapper shovel, and after patrolling back and forth on the riverbed a few times, he suddenly began to dig at the edge of the riverbed, a certain position.

Hearing the movements coming from the Wind Shadow Building, Xiao Xiao subconsciously wanted to support his body, but the low voice of the Wind Shadow Building, but it could not be ignored, had already reached his ears: "Lie down honestly, don't move!" ”

Xiao Xiaoxiao immediately closed her eyes again. He didn't want to be eliminated, and he didn't want to be eliminated when the Wind Shadow Building needed friends and help the most.

Ten minutes later, the voice of Fengyinglou came into the ears of Xiao Xiao again: "Come here." ”

In just ten minutes, the Wind Shadow Building dug a sand pit more than a meter deep on the backlit side of the soft riverbed, barely enough for an adult to get into. Feng Yinglou pointed to the sand pit and said indifferently: "Go in." ”

Although the riverbed has dried up as a whole, there are still abundant water stores in some parts, and in the African savannah, those adult elephants who are so large that they need to drink 230 catties of water a day will dig through their keen sense of smell on the seemingly dry ground to find puddles. And what the Wind Shadow Building dug out is the kind of sand pit that doesn't drip water, but the inside is very wet.

The most important thing is that this sand pit is in the corner of the riverbed where the sun does not shine, and after jumping in, the wet and cool feeling immediately surrounds it, penetrates into the body through every pore of the whole body, and makes Xiao Xiaoxiao almost can't help but let out a comfortable moan. At this time, Feng Yinglou also lay down in the wet sand pile he dug out, and let his body, by lying still, slowly recover from the high temperature and fatigue caused by an hour and a half of weight-bearing walking, plus ten minutes of digging.

The two men who still did not abandon in the face of a strong enemy fell into a short calm in the sand pit and one in the sand.

"Hey!" In the end, his physical strength was restored, and his spirit was obviously much better, Xiao Xiaoxiao spoke, "Fengying Building, you say, can we win?" ”

"If you can't win, you have to win."

Feng Yinglou replied very simply, and after Xiao Xiaoxiao was silent for a long time, he suddenly laughed.

Finding that he was laughing out of place, Xiao Xiaoxiao immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I'm just because of your answer, I suddenly remembered a joke I heard before." ”

"Oh?" The whole person was lying in the wind shadow building in the wet sand, and said indifferently: "So funny? Let's hear it. ”

"Once upon a time, a man told his friend about his trip to the African savannah. He said that he was in the grassland, and he met a hungry lion, and the lion tried to eat him, so he could only keep running away, but the lion ran much faster than him, and when the lion was about to throw him down, he suddenly saw a big tree, and immediately climbed up, and thus escaped. His friend asked, how can there be trees in the African savannah? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes fell on the Polabhu tree, which was five or six meters tall not far from them, and was also called "baobab" because the shape of the fruit was a bit like bread, and it was the favorite food of monkeys. There are still trees on the African savannah, but unfortunately many people take it for granted that there are none, including the man who "recounted" his African adventures to his friends.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiaoxiao's lips hooked upward, revealing a faint smile, and continued: "In the face of a friend's rhetorical question, the man raised his voice and shouted loudly...... At that time, the situation was so urgent, I didn't care if he had a tree or not, I would climb up first! ”

More than ten seconds later, the two of them suddenly laughed together, halfway through the laughter, but the laughter of the Wind Shadow Building suddenly stopped, "It's time, let's go." ”

The two of them continued their long, goalless journey, and the Shadow Shadow Savannah Survival Class continued: "In the grassland, there are many kinds of animals, and among them there are many fierce beasts that can pose a deadly threat to humans. In the event of an unexpected encounter with these beasts, you must quickly calm down and look them in the eye. In nature, daring to look directly at each other means that you have enough self-confidence and strength, but you try not to take the initiative to attack, let alone turn your back to the other party. Because in nature, turning one's back to the other is tantamount to admitting that you are the hunted. You have to stare into the other person's eyes and then slowly step back, never letting them see that you are trying to retreat. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pout, "Retreating backwards represents cowardice and escaping, how can you hide from the eyes of a fierce beast?" ”

Feng Yinglou looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao with an idiot-like gaze, and said, "In nature, some animals retreat, which means that it has begun to accumulate strength and is ready to launch a frontal onslaught, and almost all beasts understand this law. You retreat at a slow pace, already a disguised warning to the beast in front of you. But if you take a step back, it will follow suit, which means that your warning retreat tactics have failed, and you must stop immediately and find another way out of this predicament. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Yinglou's gaze swept over a big tree, smiled meaningfully, and said: "Also, I must kindly remind you that although there are trees in the African savannah, try not to climb the trees to avoid the beasts, you know, going up the trees is equivalent to self-defeat, and admitting their weak identity, and the beasts living in this land lack everything, that is, more time and patience." ”

Xiao Xiaoxiao raised the automatic rifle in his hand, "Why is it so troublesome, it doesn't matter if it's a tiger cheetah, or a wild boar elephant, how can it be a **mortal fetus, I don't believe it, their bodies can block the gun!" ”

Feng Yinglou shook his head slightly, in nature, many beasts that survive in groups will hold grudges. Take a wolf pack, for example, if you find a wolf and follow you from a distance, it's better to drive it away with fire than to kill it with a gun or something. You know, this will only provoke a frenzied revenge from the wolves.

In the primitive tribes of the African savannah, there was once such a philosophy: Don't harm wild animals for no reason, nature is their world, nature has its own "law", and wolves are the enforcers of this law!
