【Chapter 126】Chased by a sandstorm

The more severe the dehydration, the more salt and minerals are lost in the body, and the body's functions will be quickly unbalanced, and it will fall into a very dangerous situation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, in the Dashioban area, it is a good place to replenish the salt of the body. The method is also very simple, just take a little salt off the ground and hold it under your tongue or put it in a kettle to replace the salt lost by dehydration.

But when looking for salt, be extra careful. Some salt pans are very different from table salt, and they contain sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), which is a strong alkali with strong corrosive properties.

Accidental ingestion may cause gastrointestinal burns, mucosal erosions, bleeding, and shock. Even prolonged touching can cause burns to the skin.

Because sodium hydroxide is deliquescent, they slowly absorb moisture from the air. So the way to distinguish them is only to touch them with your hands in the early morning or dusk, when it is more humid, and they will feel like soap.

All Wang Xiaotie's knowledge about Da Yanpan is in the documentary, except for understanding the horror of this place, there is really no secret to surviving here.

The good news is that the whole area of the Great Salt Rock is not endless, and there is a mountain range faintly visible in front of it, a stretch of mountains without any greenery.

And the place where Xiangzi took Wang Xiaotie was in the direction of that mountain range.

Could it be that Shoko may not have had a good time in that small oasis and is looking for a new place to stay? Wang Xiaotie couldn't help but wonder why Xiangzi would take him away from the hard-built shelter and leave the desert oasis that looked comfortable.

Just when Wang Xiaotie was sitting leisurely on Xiangzi's back and thinking about life, the sky suddenly darkened, and a cool breeze hit, taking most of the stuffy tropics around Wang Xiaotie.

"Oh ~ Ya Mai Dad ~ It's so cool!" This sudden cool breeze made Wang Xiaotie couldn't help but feel a thrill, and let out a cry of excitement from the island country.

But now it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was as dark as nightfall, Wang Xiaotie immediately looked around, trying to find the reason for the sudden change in the sky.

When he saw behind him, he was immediately stunned.

I don't know when, the entire world behind him has disappeared, leaving only the black sand in the sky, which is surging towards Wang Xiaotie's direction.

"Sand~sandstorm?" Wang Xiaotie looked at the apocalyptic scene in the distance in disbelief, and even his voice began to tremble.

Sandstorms are definitely the demons of the desert, and every creature that lives in the desert, including humans, doesn't want to encounter this thing. It is like the sickle of death, the soul of the bull and the horse, everywhere it goes, it covers the sky and the sun, and not a single grass grows.

A gentle sandstorm will suffocate the survivors inside, and then bury them in the rolling yellow sand. But there is also a super sandstorm that reaches a speed of more than 120 kilometers per hour, and the survivors in it will take away all the flesh and blood of their bodies with the rapid sand and stones as if they were being killed, and finally leave a glittering skeleton shelf standing in the yellow sand.

Dust storms in the desert are very different from what we are used in cities. In the city, you may be able to wear a mask and walk hobbly in the yellow sand. But in the desert, you don't want to go into a sandstorm.

They will carry tens of thousands of tons of sand and gravel with a mountain of momentum, and anything that stands in their way will be buried.

In addition to shock, the rest is fear. Wang Xiaotie swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, looked at the sand and dust behind him, and then looked at Xiangzi who was still struggling to move forward.

Shoko saved his life again.

Wang Xiaotie can fully imagine that in such a big sandstorm, even that small oasis may be destroyed and buried, if he really stays there today, then he will be buried in the yellow sand with that oasis.

Vaguely, Wang Xiaotie saw a giant tornado connecting heaven and earth from the black sand curtain behind him, it was like a general leading troops to the battle, rushing towards the enemy.

At this time, Wang Xiaotie not only no longer blamed Xiangzi for leaving the shelter rashly, but was even more worried about his situation with Xiangzi.

If you are caught up by a sandstorm behind you, the consequences are still unimaginable.

"Shoko! Hurry up! ”

Xiangzi also seemed to feel Wang Xiaotie's anxious mood, and gradually changed from walking to running.

Today is the 10th day of Wang Xiaotie's desert tour.

For the rule of 10 days, Wang Xiaotie knows it well. But he never imagined that this one in the desert could be so ferocious.

At one point, he thought that if he could build a shelter in the oasis and then fortify it, it would be enough to keep any disaster off. Now he doesn't think so, after seeing such a big sandstorm, the only way to avoid the disaster is to avoid its edge, fortunately, he has Xiangzi.

Hurrying up, Wang Xiaotie and Xiangzi finally came to the foot of the rocky mountain range, and they finally walked out of the vast salt rock area.

The sandstorm behind him gradually disappeared as the night fell. But Wang Xiaotie could still hear them whistling behind him.

Now it was pitch black in front of him, and Wang Xiaotie couldn't discern the road ahead at all. can only rely on Shoko to take herself to continue to travel in this dark night.

But Shoko didn't walk long before she stopped, and then knelt on the ground. That was the signal for Wang Xiaotie to come down.

Wang Xiaotie climbed down from Xiangzi, and his feet were all rubble, almost making him lose his foot.

"I'm rubbing! It's so dark, how can you see the road? ”

Now Wang Xiaotie doesn't know where Xiangzi took him, he doesn't know why Xiangzi stopped, and he doesn't know if he has escaped from the scope of the sandstorm.

After dissolving the firewood on Xiangzi's body, Wang Xiaotie planned to raise a small pile of fire, use the light of the fire, and take a look at the surrounding situation. If he could find a place to shelter from the wind, it would be his greatest reliance on him to get through this difficult night tonight.

The fire rose smoothly, and Wang Xiaotie was very grateful to Xiangzi for taking the sink away at the end, otherwise, he would not have carried firewood and tinder.

By the brightness of the flames, Wang Xiaotie finally saw clearly where he and Xiangzi were, this was a rocky valley, with rocky cliffs on the left and right that could not be seen, and a curved passage in front and back, and the road was covered with large and small gravel.

After seeing the surrounding terrain clearly, Wang Xiaotie leaned the fire under the cliff on the right, intending to spend the night here.
