Chapter 208: Anomaly
In the middle of the night, the surrounding rocks were cold. The cold feeling also woke up Yang Hao, who was asleep, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The fire in front of him was about to be extinguished, Yang Hao hurriedly added some hay, and the flame slowly grew bigger.
I opened my watch and took a look, and it was now past two o'clock in the middle of the night.
There were still more than four hours before the sun rose, and Yang Hao looked around.
Except for the range illuminated by the flames and the stars in the sky, everything else was dark and nothing could be seen. I couldn't hear anything but the whirring wind.
Yang Hao sighed, tightened the clothes on his body, half-sat here and closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
When the sun rose, the first rays of sunlight shone on Yang Hao's eyes, waking him up.
The fire in front of him had been completely extinguished, and the walls of the surrounding stone fortresses were also cold, and Yang Hao couldn't feel a little heat on his body. Yang Hao stood up and did some simple exercises, gradually moving his body that had been curled up all night, and at the same time, under the sun, the cold on his body disappeared little by little.
Yang Hao waited for another time, and when the surroundings had begun to heat up significantly, Yang Hao walked to the side of the puddle and opened the leaves covered on it.
I don't know if there were any scorpions or anything like that that night, Yang Hao first flicked it with a knife a few times, but didn't find scorpions or other small things, so he picked up the stone inside.
The first layer of stone is still dry, but the surface of the lower layers of stone shows traces of water. Although there were not many, Yang Hao still picked them up one by one. Sticking out his tongue, he licked it on top of these wet stones.
The condensation on all the stones was licked by Yang Hao, and this moisture also temporarily moistened Yang Hao's throat. Next, Yang Hao took out the bottom short sleeve.
I touched it, and sure enough, it was already wet. Yang Hao twisted the short sleeves, and a few drops of water dripped from his clothes.
There wasn't much of this water, and it couldn't be kept, so Yang Hao leaned over, tightened his clothes, and a drop of water fell into Yang Hao's mouth.
until the clothes are unscrewed into the water. Yang Hao sucked again. It wasn't until his clothes couldn't even absorb water that Yang Hao gave up, put away his clothes, and walked towards the southeast.
Those few sips of water were drunk after a few hours: that also means. Yang Hao from now on. The water has already been cut off.
Take a look at the nearby sand dunes and rocks. Looking at the sun above his head, Yang Hao continued to move forward.
Although there were no trees to provide shade for Yang Hao on the road this time, there were many rocks nearby. Walking a distance, you can see some relatively large rocks, and there are still some shady places in the direction of the sun on their backs. Yang Hao turned back and forth in these shady places, walking slowly.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yang Hao, who hadn't drunk water for more than six hours, already felt that he was about to burn. His eyes were fixed on the compass as well as nearby, hoping to spot traces of water.
But until now, he has not found any water.
Walking on the sand dunes, with his back to the setting red sun, Yang Hao already felt that he couldn't hold on anymore.
Suddenly, he experienced a sharp pain in his left leg, as if his entire muscles and nerves were twisted together.
Holding his legs, he fell down and rolled down the slope of the dune.
"Ahh Yes!! ”
Yang Hao, who stopped below, did not stand up, but hugged his leg and screamed in pain.
He had cramps.
It took a while for the twisting pain to fade away. Yang Hao, who was tormented by severe pain, lay on the sand. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was pitch black all around, and after a while, the sand and red sky in front of me gradually appeared in front of me.
"Oh no!"
Yang Hao has realized the danger.
Cramps, dizziness, this is a sign of dehydration.
Now Yang Hao felt that he couldn't even secrete a little saliva in his mouth, his throat was dry as if it was about to stick together, he didn't even have the urge to urinate, and there was no way to get a drop of water.
Now it seems that the symptoms of dehydration are not very serious, but they have begun to affect Yang Hao's physical strength.
To recover from dehydration, you need a glucose solution. But with the current conditions, where to find glucose?
Now that the simple water source can no longer make Yang Hao recover, if he continues to be dehydrated, Yang Hao's upper limit of physical strength will also drop together, and the adverse reactions will come faster and more serious.
In other words, if Yang Hao is given the same gravity of water, Yang Hao will not be able to go so far.
For example, Yang Hao may have walked sixty or seventy kilometers with water for two days before, but now after dehydration, Yang Hao, even if he still has two days of water, he can only walk another fifty kilometers at most.
If he continues, his mobility will become worse and worse, and he will not be able to move a single step in the end.
Fortunately, Yang Hao has enough salt on his body, otherwise the situation would be even more serious.
Seeing that the sun is about to go down, if it goes on like this, I won't even be able to survive this night. Yang Hao insisted on getting up and continued to walk forward.
When the night was about to fall, Yang Hao, who was dizzy, suddenly saw something protruding from the ground. Shaking his heavy head, Yang Hao walked over.
Now Yang Hao is like a short-sighted eye, lying in front of this thing, looking at it for a long time, before he can see what this thing is.
is a barrel-shaped cactus.
This cactus is not large, about the size of half of a person's head. Yang Hao saw this thing and immediately drew his knife.
Although I don't know if this cactus is poisonous or not, Yang Hao is already desperate and can't care so much.
Holding a knife, he staggered and cut on the cactus for a long time before cutting the cactus off the ground. Then he grabbed the cactus, and the knife was inserted through the incision, and a piece of cactus meat was cut out and thrown into his mouth.
He still wears gloves on his hands, so he doesn't have to worry about the thorns hurting himself. However, when Yang Hao let go of the cactus, there were already a few thorns hanging on his gloves.
Yang Hao chewed the cactus meat and completely absorbed the water and juice inside before spitting out the rest of the stuff.
In such a cactus, all the moisture parts were drained by Yang Hao, and only the outer skin and waxy parts remained. And the moisture of this cactus did alleviate Yang Hao's state, at least the symptoms of lightheadedness improved slightly.
In fact, these moisture will not play a role in such a short period of time, and there is also a part of it that moisturizes the throat and mouth, but people's subconscious liliang is sometimes beyond people's imagination, and Yang Hao's current state can also be explained by this.
But no matter what, this cactus did pull Yang Hao back a little bit from the death line.
At least let him get some action liliang, but this liliang drove Yang Hao to the middle of the night, and he couldn't do it.
Cold, thirst, hunger, and physical abnormalities made Yang Hao's state worse and worse. The pace of his walking had also begun to drift, and he felt that his head had weighed several times heavier along the way, but his legs were limp and had no strength at all, and he was barely moving with one breath. His night vision device has also been broken, and it has long been thrown away by him, even the compass has a fluorescent effect, and Yang Hao has to look at it for a long time to confirm the direction.
Seeing a high hard rock in front of him, Yang Hao held on to the rock and slowly knelt on the ground.
He couldn't hold it anymore.
While he still had some consciousness, he pulled open his backpack and took out something.
Epinephrine.
With this, you can walk a little further, and maybe you will be saved.
Yang Hao shook his head vigorously, and even hit the rock next to him twice, barely staying awake, and then opened the isolation needle, exposed his arm, and slowly inserted the needle into his skin.
He used a subcutaneous injection. When administering epinephrine, if it is given intravenously, the effect is the fastest, almost instantaneous, but it only lasts for a few minutes. If you choose intramuscular injection, the absorption is slower and can last about half an hour.
However, if it is injected subcutaneously, the epinephrine is absorbed most slowly because it constricts the local blood vessels, but because of this, the effect lasts for about an hour, but the intensity of the effect is also minimal.
However, this minimum strength is enough for Yang Hao to regain Liliang, and now this situation, obviously, the longer it lasts, the more beneficial it will be for Yang Hao.
Seeing that all the adrenaline was injected into his body, Yang Hao sat on the rock and closed his eyes, resting for a while.
Five minutes later, Yang Hao felt that the feeling of lightheadedness in his body disappeared, the dizziness and dizziness were greatly reduced, and his numb limbs began to regain liliang.
The adrenaline is starting to kick in. Yang Hao knew that his time was already very short, and if there was still no gain within this hour, then he could only wait for death.
Hurrying up, Yang Hao immediately stood up and continued to walk forward.
The body is still very tired, but I still have the strength. Time is passing little by little, but Yang Hao still hasn't found anything.
He kept watching from side to side with a flashlight, hoping to find any clues about the water source.
He didn't run too much, or pick up his pace. Doing so will make your blood flow faster, and it will also speed up the amount of adrenaline you use, making it wear off earlier. So although Yang Hao was in a hurry, he didn't speed up his movements.
The surrounding sand began to slowly decrease, replaced by patches of stones.
But Yang Hao was very keenly aware of the difference between these stones and the stone field he had encountered before.
Most of the stones in the places I passed through before were small stones and gravel, and the terrain was basically made up of a large number of stones. But here, most of it is all tall rocks, and there is very little gravel. (To be continued......)
