Two days later.

Yang Hao couldn't walk anymore.

"Poof!"

Yang Hao, who had been walking, had weak legs and knelt on the ground.

He had been saving his water all the time, but even so, this morning, a drop of zuihou in the kettle was also drunk by him.

It was half past one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the time when the sun was at its strongest. The scorching sun made Yang Hao a little dazzled, and his breathing was extremely unstable.

After sitting on the ground for ten minutes, Yang Hao stood up again.

Looking around, Yang Hao began to climb up the hill.

It's high up there, and you might find something.

The sand on the hill is particularly difficult to climb, and if Yang Hao stops still, his body will automatically slide down. Yang Hao, who wanted to go up, had to use more strength, which also accelerated the loss of physical strength and water in his body.

When Yang Hao climbed to the top of the hill, Yang Hao sat on the sand pile, and he felt that he never remembered it again.

took out the compass and set the direction, Yang Hao looked over there.

But the results disappointed him. In that direction, there was nothing but sand.

But as soon as he turned his head, he immediately got up, and a look of joy appeared on his somewhat numb face.

Yang Hao took out his binoculars and looked in that direction.

From the telescope, you can clearly see that in that direction, another patch of green!

Green! It may seem like it's still some distance, but it's green!

Oasis!

The surrounding environment made the green he saw a little dazed, but the visual distance was only three or four hundred meters. It shouldn't be a mirage.

Seeing this, Yang Hao immediately loaded the telescope and ran in that direction.

When running down the dune, Yang Hao's legs weakened and he pounced. The soft sand made Yang Hao roll all the way unstoppable. Fortunately, there were no stones around, so when Yang Hao stopped under the sand dune, he was not injured.

Yang Hao, who stopped, immediately jumped up and ran in that direction.

But at this time, Yang Hao, who was extremely short of water, really had no strength, and he was running in one breath. The distance of a few hundred meters made Yang Hao run for half an hour before he arrived.

The forest in front of me is not very large. But Yang Hao, who approached this wood. I also felt a hint of shade, so that Yang Hao, who had been exposed to the sun for a few days, finally felt a trace of comfort.

Yang Hao couldn't wait to run in.

Yang Hao, who ran into the woods, felt the coolness brought by the surrounding trees, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he ran around in the woods.

But five minutes later, he was sitting on the ground.

The surroundings are cool though. But he didn't see any water sources. There was only dry sand on the ground. Does not contain a single bit of moisture.

It's not an oasis, just a small grove of trees growing in the middle of the desert.

But if Yang Hao can't get water again, it is estimated that he will not be able to hold it tomorrow.

Looked around. Yang Hao got up, took out a knife and dug it up on the ground not far from a tree.

Plants need water to survive, and there must be water under the sand here. Even if it's not much, there's definitely water!

Yang Hao kept digging, and soon dug a pit about twenty centimeters deep.

Throwing away the knife, Yang Hao dug up with both hands and held a handful of sand.

Cool, wet.

There is water!

Yang Hao finally found the water!

He unloaded the cloth he was holding on his head, wrapped a large pile of sand around it, and gathered together to wring it vigorously. The cloth underneath gets wet quickly.

Yang Hao's mouth was stuck there, sucking hard. Some moisture and moisture finally entered Yang Hao's mouth, although not much, but finally relieved Yang Hao's chapped lips and burning throat.

"Ahh

Yang Hao let out a sigh.

Finally alive.

Then Yang Hao shook off the sand in his clothes, grabbed a handful of moist sand and wrapped it inside, and continued to extract the water in it.

After going back and forth like this three or four times, Yang Hao's water needs were finally partially satisfied.

Yang Hao, who was sucking in the water, flicked his eyes, and suddenly found that in a certain corner, there were several plants with fat leaves, like plantains, almost ten meters high, and even the leaves were about three meters, and the leaves were spread in two rows, like a huge fan.

Yang Hao's heart moved, threw down his clothes and sand and ran over.

Yang Hao looked left and right, and then he stood up.

These are a few traveler's bananas!

Although being able to see traveler's banana here made Yang Hao a little puzzled, because this is not a common distribution area of traveler's banana, it still made Yang Hao a little happy.

Because the traveler's banana is rich in a lot of water, as long as the base of the petiole is punctured, the water contained in the period will flow out like a stream of water for passers-by to quench their thirst, hence the name traveler's banana.

After drinking the water in the traveler's banana, the punctured area will automatically close up, and if you wait another day, the traveler's banana will be full of water again. If you find this, you will find a source of water.

Yang Hao couldn't wait to pull out the folding knife and puncture a small hole under the petiole. A few seconds later, Yang Hao saw the water flowing out of it.

He immediately leaned his mouth in.

A stream of sweet water entered Yang Hao's mouth.

After a long time, Yang Hao stopped and looked at this traveler's banana.

The punctured hole was still flowing, Yang Hao hurriedly took out his kettle and put it under the small hole, and the water that flowed out slowly flowed into the kettle.

Soon the water of this traveler's banana was discharged, and Yang Hao changed to another one, piercing the small hole to continue to store water.

After dozens of minutes, the kettle and water bottle on Yang Hao's body were filled with water.

When receiving water, Yang Hao also took out a few compressed biscuits and ate them.

Without water, Yang Hao didn't dare to eat much. Because when eating, the stomach needs to move, and it will also mobilize water from other parts of the body, which will accelerate the rate of water loss in Yang Hao's body. But now that there is water, Yang Hao can eat it openly.

But for several days he was semi-starved, and he did not dare to eat much. Reluctantly suppressed the feeling of hunger, Yang Hao put down the food and lay down on the ground relaxed.

With water, you can go further. In the desert, water represents life.

Yang Hao lay on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

His breathing gradually became even, and the muscles of his whole body relaxed.

He fell asleep.

………………

"Ahh

Yang Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

Sit up and look left and right. It took him a moment before he realized where he was.

Yang Hao rubbed his eyes. Stand up. Glancing at the time.

He's been sleeping all day.

Shaking his head, Yang Hao calculated the time.

In the desert, it's best to avoid the hottest time of the day. If you're traveling at other times, the water loss will be a little smaller, and it won't feel too hot.

Therefore, Yang Hao decided to wait another hour or two. Wait until this point before you go.

One day allowed Yang Hao's body to recover greatly. The feeling of exhaustion has been swept away. Yang Hao felt that his current state was similar to when he first entered the desert, and even better than that time.

And he has also received water replenishment. Yang Hao, who had drunk all the water bottles before, didn't throw away any of them, and the water was added together. It was enough for him to drink for two and a half days.

The bad news, though, is that his GPS doesn't work.

Before entering the woods, his GPS ran out of power. The repairman gave himself an older brand, and there was no solar receiver on it. And before setting off, even Yang Hao didn't expect that he would enter the desert, so he didn't prepare for this. So after two or three days of use, the GPS is like a mobile phone, the screen goes black.

Without GPS, Yang Hao would not be able to get his exact location, and he would not be able to calculate how much distance he still had to walk. However, the last time I looked at the distance, there were still more than 190 kilometers, and now it should not be much worse.

In other words, even if Yang Hao got water, it was not enough to support him out of the desert, so he had to find one, or even two water sources, on the way.

But this is the depths of the desert, and it's best not to expect to see anyone or a helicopter. If you want to be saved, you have to run to the edge of the desert. Only there is a greater chance to see humanity.

Therefore, this small piece of forest can only allow Yang Hao to get enough rest, but it cannot allow him to stay here all the time. Obviously, Yang Hao also knows this.

picked up the clothes that had been cut on the ground on the side, wrapped them on his head again, and then withdrew the saber, Yang Hao sat on the ground and waited.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Hao stood up, came to the side of the traveler's banana again, and made a cut.

Traces of previous scratches can still be seen. At this time, the place was cut again, and a stream of sweet water came out again. Yang Hao drank a few sips of water, then determined the direction, and left the forest without any nostalgia.

Leaving the range of the woods, the surrounding heat rushed to his face, and the scorching temperature made Yang Hao's eyes feel a little stinging in an instant, and he couldn't help but close them.

After waiting for a while, his eyes adjusted to the environment, and Yang Hao opened his eyes and continued to leave in the southeast direction.

In the desert, crystals, salts, rocks, and some chemicals in the sand will reflect a lot of sunlight and ultraviolet rays, and the human eye will soon be burned when exposed to these strong sunlight and ultraviolet rays for a long time. Fortunately, Yang Hao has a pair of goggles, which resist a lot of strong light and ultraviolet rays, so Yang Hao doesn't have to worry about this, as long as he doesn't accidentally break the goggles.

If you don't have goggles, try making a fire. When the fire is extinguished, take some charcoal and apply it to the underside of your eyes. Black can effectively absorb some of the sunlight, which can also provide some protection for the eyes.

Yang Hao walked forward step by step. Physical strength still needs a certain amount of reservation, so Yang Hao did not choose to trot forward. In this way, after running a certain distance, there will be a significant decrease in physical strength, and people will also sweat a lot, accelerating water loss, and eventually the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, you still can't rush, although walking is a little slower, but in addition to being exposed to the sun, it can still allow you to stick to moving a longer distance. (To be continued......)
