"I~I~ I rub! Wipe! Frozen ~ Frozen ~ Dead ~ Dead ~ Dead Lao Tzu ~ Son! ”
Under the hazy moonlight, Wang Xiaotie sat on a camel, shivering. This damn place was freezing his teeth.
It's already past 4 o'clock in the morning, and Wang Xiaotie, who was planning to find a place to rest and keep warm, has been all yellow sand all the way, and there is not even a big stone.
He has been staying with Shoko, and at this time he has reached the limit of his body. Although he tried to lie down and cling to Shoko's soft hair, he still couldn't resist the erosion of the cold.
Since the sand does not retain heat, it heats up dramatically during the day and cools down at night. According to the original heat transfer, almost all the heat on Wang Xiaotie's body at this time was taken away by this damn sand.
Even if he wasn't walking in the sand, the desert around him was still sucking the heat out of his body. The calories produced by the body are already a little unable to keep up with the consumption, and Wang Xiaotie is about to face the difficulty of hypothermia.
Turning over a high sand dune, Wang Xiaotie suddenly found that the scenery in front of him was no longer the scenery that had been repeated countless times, and the gray object with irregular outlines in the distance was definitely not the shape of a sand dune.
"Xiang ~ Xiang ~ Xiang ~ Son! Really~ really yours! ”
That should be the shape of a rock. Wang Xiaotie was very excited, it was definitely a kind of luck to be able to find such a big rocky mountain in this vast desert. Of course, this is also due to Shoko's guidance.
By the moonlight, Wang Xiaotie carefully looked at this area.
According to the knowledge he has learned, this should be a small Gobi area, although there are rocks and many plants, but this is not the desert oasis that Wang Xiaotie wants to find.
Geographically, the Gobi is generally closer to the city than the desert, but Wang Xiaotie is participating in a game, and it is impossible for the makers to let him leave this cruel region and return to human civilization.
Because the sun has not yet risen, Wang Xiaotie can't see how big this Gobi region is, and now, he just wants to quickly find a sheltered and warm place to make himself no longer so cold.
This is a large rock that Luo is exposed, and Wang Xiaotie leads Xiangzi to the stone, so that Xiangzi's position forms a narrow gap with the stone.
That gap is where Wang Xiaotie wants to rest.
"Wow! So comfortable! Wang Xiaotie suddenly let out an exclamation, startling Xiangzi who was about to rest on the side, tilted his head and glanced at Wang Xiaotie, not understanding what he was talking about at night?
Wang Xiaotie couldn't help but be so emotional because of the temperature coming from the big stone. On the contrary to the sand, the heat dissipation of the rock is much slower, and this rock that is exposed to the sun all the year round is still extremely warm until this moment, like an electric blanket plugged in with electricity, Wang Xiaotie can't wait to shoot himself flat and stick it directly on it.
Gradually, I felt that the temperature in my body returned to normal again, and my body no longer trembled. Take out the hardcover jar of mineral water and drink the last drop in it. Wang Xiaotie finally came back to life.
Wang Xiaotie did not rest, and the hot day was the best time for him to regain his strength. He was going to wait for the sun to rise, and while it was cool, he would explore the area, and most importantly find some food and water.
In the desert, nothing is more important than water, and only by finding a stable source of water can you consider whether to settle down here.
The Sun finally showed his red face again, bringing light to the entire desert. Wang Xiaotie had already taken the special mountain opening knife, took Xiangzi, and left the place where he rested last night.
Xiangzi is Wang Xiaotie's biggest reliance on surviving in the desert, and Wang Xiaotie does not dare to leave Xiangzi alone. In the desert, camels are not invincible, coyotes are their natural enemies. Of course, even if Wang Xiaotie is holding a mountain knife and encounters a pack of coyotes, it is estimated that he will have to finish the game.
After a general glance, Wang Xiaotie was disappointed to find that this Gobi region is not big, and it is even more strange to violate the laws of nature, it is actually in the center of the desert. In other words, this area of strange rocks is surrounded by a sky of yellow sand.
As a result, the probability of being able to spot water is greatly reduced. In such a place, even if there is water, it is estimated that it is groundwater, and it is not something that can be obtained by digging a few meters.
Such a place seems to be a paradise for Xiangzi, and for Wang Xiaotie, it is only a little better than in the desert.
At least he could find a place to block the scorching sun, instead of Shoko making a cameo appearance at the windshield.
Sure enough, the reality is so cruel, it took less than 3 hours of exploration for Wang Xiaotie to be completely disappointed. Although there are tenacious plants growing here, there are more weathered rocks, and there are no dry riverbeds.
Maybe the plant can get enough water from dozens of meters underground to grow, but Wang Xiaotie can't, so Wang Xiaotie can only wait for the night to fall, reluctantly leave here, and continue to go to the boundless desert to find the legendary desert oasis.
No water, no food. Wang Xiaotie is collecting food at the moment, which are several very recognizable dwarf pines, and the pine nuts of dwarf pine are one of the foods that Wang Xiaotie knows.
You only need to pick the pine cones that grow on the dwarf pines and remove the film on top to taste the flavor of the pine nuts.
Pine nuts may seem small, but they are a nutritious natural food for survivors.
They are rich in proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and are excellent survival foods. 100 grams of pine nuts contain about 17 grams of protein, and although meat contains twice as much protein as pine nuts by the same weight, it is by no means easy to obtain meat.
The biggest problem is finding meat. There is not even a trace of animals in this rocky area, and Wang Xiaotiekong has the ability to make traps, but he can't use it.
Not to mention that there is no meat, when Wang Xiaotie turned over a stone, he accidentally found his first meal of meat.
It was a beetle, a pure black beetle, and it was getting its water today.
Unlike all desert animals, the beetle is the only animal that doesn't worry about water.
In the arid desert, the Beetle has mastered a unique method of obtaining water. A few hours after sunrise or sunset, when the beetle's body temperature drops below the ambient temperature, they stick their head in the sand and then turn their backs in the direction of the evening breeze, and water droplets form on the beetle's back, and when the water droplets gather more and more, these water droplets roll down the bowed back into the beetle's mouth.
When Wang Xiaotie caught it, it was hiding under the rock, pouting its ass and doing work.
