Chapter 396: Lack of Water and Lack of Things
Chapter 396 Lack of water and few things
"Peng!"
"Peng!"
"I'm x. Is this wind blowing so hard? What did you scrape off? Could it be those flagpoles? In the tent, the fat man's spirit was a little sluggish, but the wind outside was loud, the sand and dust were flying, and then as the wind gradually increased, I felt that the tent was going to be pulled up, and the trembling was very strong, and the fat man was worried as soon as he closed his eyes, and he was immediately woken up by the violent wind and sand outside, and the torture of more than ten hours made the fat man yawn from time to time.
The loud impact made him refresh for a while. Not only him, but all the people who lived in tents outside were so worried that they couldn't sleep at all.
At this time, there seemed to be the sound of something striking outside, and the movement was not small. The few flagpoles planted on the sand dunes can't be kept now?
I don't know where it will fly or where it will be buried.
"Not like that!" Zhang Guodong was still in good spirits, sitting there cross-legged, and said very calmly.
"What's that?" The fat man wondered. He has always been very convinced of Zhang Guodong's judgment. You won't be able to fall asleep either.
Just small talk.
"Maybe the bucket in the car flewβ" Mr. Zhang said.
"What? It's troublesome, it's water, no, you have to go out and have a look, you can do it without food, but how can you live without drinking? When the fat man heard this, he was immediately anxious, and he got up and wanted to go out.
Zhang Guodong smiled heartlessly: "It's just a bucket, and it is estimated that it won't fly far, what is there to worry about, not to mention that you can go out?" β
"Then you can't just wait for the wind to stop, right? What if it flies away, or sells under deep sand? The fat man listened to the movement outside, he was really a little timid, and said with a roll of his eyes.
"Hehe, I can't go out, what about you?" This kind of weather is bad for ordinary people, but Zhang Guodong shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?
"Don't even think about it, it's a big night, how comfortable it is in this tent, ah, I'm a little sleepy, I have to lie down!" Zhang Guodong snorted, stretched his waist, and simply lay down, as if he was really going to sleep.
"Don't! What if there is no water and no food? But no matter how the fat man said good things, Zhang Guodong turned a deaf ear.
It seems comfortable to fall asleep.
"Instead of wasting saliva, it's better to go to sleep quickly, and it will be dawn in a few hours, and it's not too late to find it after dawn!" Zhang Guodong was sure in his heart and said with his eyes closed.
However, it was really stuffy in this tent, so Zhang Guodong had no choice but to put the dust avoidance device back on, which made him feel better.
The fat man is helpless. ββββββ dawn, sure enough, the dust weather passed. Although the sun has not yet come out, the sky is blue, which is pleasing to the eye, and the depression in the chest is gone.
"Secretary Wang, Zhang Shao, no, our buckets are gone, and some food and luggage have been scraped away!" Zhang Guodong and the fat man woke up early, and were about to get out of the tent, when the anxious voice of Section Chief Liu Liu sounded outside.
"Ah, really, the buckets in the car are gone?" Others have found out. Food and water are the most precious things in the desert.
The food and water on this cart took up most of it, and it was really gone. What can the crowd do? To get out of the desert, it takes more than a day.
Yes, and gasoline! The two desert off-road cars are oil-eating tigers, which are very fuel-guzzling. But the oil drums are gone.
Zhang Guodong and the fat man came out of the tent, and they saw Liu Xi really anxious.
"What's wrong? It's all gone? The fat man asked hurriedly. At first glance, there were no buckets or anything like that on the flat sandy ground, and when I looked at the car, it was empty, no, there were still one or two buckets left, which were tied to the car.
"Yes, Secretary Wang, we just went over the sand dunes to find it, but we only found a bucket, and the water in it was basically gone!" Section Chief Liu smiled bitterly.
The fat man was also dumbfounded, frowned, and glanced at Zhang Guodong. Zhang Guodong also touched his nose unexpectedly, and his face turned slightly red.
He wasn't worried about finding the bucket, but he missed a little bit, the bucket actually hit the lid and flew away, and the water ran in vain.
Accident, pure accident!
"Let's look first, how many can be found!" The fat man sighed.
"Hey!" Section Chief Liu had a bitter face. Quickly helped everyone to find it.
"Section Chief Liu, I found it, I found it!" Not far away, the little girl Xu Ning waved her hand happily and shouted.
"Found the bucket?" Liu Xi was suddenly overjoyed and hurried over.
"It's not. It's an oil drum! β
"Oil drums, just find it!" When Liu Xi heard this, he was less interested. But when you think about it, as long as there is fuel, the car can start, which is a good thing.
Most of the oil barrel was buried in the sand, and only some oil seeped out of it, and it smelled pungent.
The little girl Xu Ning was more careful, so she actually found out. The two of them pulled out the oil drum, and found that the oil drum was much lighter.
Needless to say, a lot of oil has also flowed out.
"This amount of fuel is estimated to be enough to drive three kilometers!" Two more oil drums were found one after another, but without exception, more than half of the oil was lost in each barrel.
Even if it's not enough to drive out of the desert, it's not too far from the edge. Others went home empty-handed. Even if the oil barrel is buried under the sand, you can smell the smell of gasoline along the way, but the water is colorless and odorless, even if it is sprinkled with a little sand, it evaporates quickly, and the last trace cannot be found.
Seeing that everyone was not very interested, Zhang Guodong had no choice but to say: "I'll help find it too!" Pretending, Zhang Guodong did not stop on the flat sandy ground, but only looked for it on the root of the sand dune.
After a while, I found a bucket. It's just that the lid of this bucket is a little loose. Only half of the water flowed off.
For about half an hour, Zhang Guodong was unhurriedly searching, and found five buckets one after another, all of which had water, but some were less than one-third.
"That's amazing!" The little girl Xu Ning couldn't help but say.
"There are probably only so many, those empty barrels can't be found, I guess it's blowing far away!" Zhang Guodong smiled slightly and sighed.
"Zhang Shao, it's already a lot, these waters. If you save a little, you can stick out of the desert! Liu Xi complimented.
"How much else is going on today?" Zhang Guodong changed the topic and turned to business. Although some water was recovered, the food was inedible even if it was recovered.
Finish the enclosure in a serious way, and then everyone quickly withdraws.
"This flagpole was blown off, but the positioning instrument was buried yesterday, as long as the positioning instrument is checked again, the enclosure can be completed, and it should be completed before noon!" Liu Xi said.
The positioning instrument is the main enclosure landmark, which is much more reliable than some boundary pillars and flags. However, the flag can make people intuitively see that this is already someone else's territory.
"Hurry up!" ββββ time passed minute by minute, and it was not yet noon, Liu Xi found Zhang Guodong and the fat man again, carrying a small half bucket of water in his hand, with a little embarrassment on his face.
"Secretary Wang, Zhang Shao, this is your water, I sent it!"
"Deliver water?"
"Yes, Secretary Wang, originally the water should have been enough, but it was blown by the wind, and now the temperature in the desert is high, and everyone has more water, and it is about to end!" Liu Xi said.
The helplessness in that look was very real. There is a shortage of water! Looking at Liu Xi's lips are a little dry, and the white stains on his head know that as soon as the sun comes out, walking around in the desert is a very challenging job, sweating is too easy, and the body is a lot of water shortage.
The fat man didn't fold either. It is true that he is an official, but not an immortal. I didn't realize it just now. Because Zhang Guodong has something to drink at any time, there is no shortage of wine and tea.
But when he saw Liu Xi's embarrassed look, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Guodong.
"Let's drink this water, finish the work as soon as possible, let's rush back to Ningyun immediately, I still have some to drink, enough for the two of us!" Zhang Guodong said helplessly to Liu Xi.
"W-what's so embarrassing!"
"Section Chief Liu. Hurry up, drink the water, hold on, return to Ningyun, I will treat everyone to a good meal and drink! The fat man waved his hand and hurriedly sent Liu Xi away.
This guy has joy in his eyes, he betrayed himself, and he actually hypocritically pretended to be embarrassed. As soon as Liu Xi left, Zhang Guodong and the fat man both laughed.
Human nature, when you encounter something that threatens your life, you will be destroyed if you don't do it for yourself.
"But, Gordon, where are you hiding something to drink? Do you have anything to eat? Speaking of which, this would be really hungry! The fat man looked at Zhang Guodong, in the pocket of his clothes?
Zhang Guodong slapped invisibly, had an extra golden pear in his hand, and handed it over.
"There are many ways for monks to do this, and storage is just one of them!"
"Damn!" The fat man's eyes were straight.
"Space Ring? I saw that some of them have some space rings on them, they are so big, they are cars, and a mountain can fit into them, do you have them? Show me! Zhang Guodong had three black lines on his forehead.
Another poisoned guy!
"I haven't seen what you said, mine can only hold a little something, and I guess a bucket is almost the top!" Zhang Guodong joked with a smile.
"Besides, if you're not a monk, you can't open the storage bag, and you'll see it in vain!"
