Chapter 562: There is no love in life
I don't know how long it has been, but the sandstorm has finally passed.
Temperatures are also rising rapidly.
Looking at the sky outside, which was gradually turning from black to white, I stretched.
Standing up from the wooden bench, he turned to look at the others: "I see that the sandstorm has also passed, or we will set off for that crescent lake now!" ”
"Let's go!" When Wang Yi heard this, he also stood up.
Zhao Qiqi listened to my words and immediately clicked on the map in the survival bracelet.
In the upper right corner of the map there is a moving compass that indicates the bearing.
She shook her body to the left and right, then pointed to her right hand and said, "After coming out of the cave, go to the right, and you should find the lake mentioned in the notepad." ”
"It's not too early, let's go after we pack our things!" I smiled and said.
Of course, because of the strong ultraviolet rays outside, everyone put on long-sleeved clothes and hats from their backpacks before leaving the cave.
This...... That's the only protection we can do.
After doing all this, everyone put on their backpacks and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave is a south-facing avenue.
Without further ado, we walked south.
Over time, the temperature that had been reduced by the previous sandstorm quickly picked up and soon returned to its previous hot state.
Not long after Zhang Qiang left, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Oh, I'm so tired! Can you stop for a while? I can't stand it, it's too hot, isn't it? With that, he walked to the shadow of a large stone.
Put the backpack down and take out the mineral water inside.
Just about to unscrew the cap, Zhao Qiqi walked over and grabbed his hand.
"Don't rush to drink water yet, I'll show you how." Zhao Qiqi said, glancing at a few of us: "Although there are also water sources in the desert, such as the lake we went to. But now we can't be sure if the water is actually drinkable. You know, in this environment, water is the most important thing. Therefore, when we drink water, we must drink it in moderation and not in large gulps as usual. ”
As she spoke, she pulled her mineral water out of her backpack.
"Take small sips at a time, let the water stay in your mouth for a little longer, don't drink too much at a time, you know?"
After speaking, Zhao Qiqi unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip, and then quickly screwed the lid on.
Watching her demonstration, we all suddenly felt a little thirsty, and we couldn't help but take out a few sips of water.
After resting for a few minutes under the shadow of the boulder, I stepped forward.
"Okay, enough rest. Let's go! I don't know when the sandstorm will come again. ”
When Zhang Qiang heard this, he didn't want to say anything.
With that, our group continued to walk south.
The sunlight overhead became more and more dazzling, and the light hit everyone's bodies, making people feel extremely weak.
Sweat was oozing constantly, and the clothes could almost be wrung out of the water.
Even a thick layer of salt condensed on the backs of several boys.
At first, everyone paid a little attention to their own image.
Later, everyone was like a daylily.
It was as if we had become emotionless walking machines, with all eyes fixed on the front, and we had to walk towards the front with our vague steps.
This state lasted for more than two hours.
Finally, Zhang Qiang couldn't help it.
"Qiqi, how long is it going to be! I can't stand it anymore. Zhang Qiang said, wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead.
Others did not refute Zhang Qiang, because this time, everyone had the same idea.
"I'll see." Zhao Qiqi's face was also a little pale, but her expression was quite calm.
Click on the map on the survival bracelet, and it will immediately show the location of our current location.
Everyone immediately cheered up and walked to her side.
"At the moment we are here, judging by the map, we have already walked about two-thirds of the way, and we should be more than an hour away from reaching the lake mentioned in the diary at most." Zhao Qiqi said.
"Huh? More than an hour? Didn't the explorer say the lake was just around the corner? It's not far away, why is it so far? When Zhang Qiang heard this, he immediately wailed.
"Well, maybe the explorers don't think it's far away, and it's not the same as we understand!" Du Deming said with a wry smile.
"Hey, since we've already walked two-thirds of the way, let's not rest, just walk over in one go!" I brace myself and look at my teammates.
"Yes! Let's go, let's go! Hadron, don't be scared. When Wang Yi heard this, he hurriedly turned around and urged Zhang Qiang.
"Harm, okay! This is really not a place for people, I really hope to gather the fragments here and leave quickly. ”
Zhang Qiang put his fingers together in the shape of a fan, constantly fanning himself, although it didn't have any effect.
And just like that, the six of us began to walk forward again.
The air in front of me was distorted by the sun, and gradually, I felt like I was almost hallucinating.
As you get further aback, time seems to pass more and more slowly.
Just when we were about to despair, a touch of green appeared in front of us.
That's right, it's green!
My eyes lit up, and I pointed over there with some excitement: "Hey, look, what is that!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at my finger.
"Oasis?!! Could it be that the lake that the explorer spoke of is just ahead? Du Deming's expression suddenly changed from lovelessness to ecstasy.
"Are we almost there? I seem to see water! Situ Cao was obviously very happy.
Without being reminded, all six of us picked up the pace.
I walked for about another seven or eight minutes.
We finally came to the location of the crescent-shaped lake mentioned in the diary.
There are some trees scattered around the lake, and there are many green plants growing on the banks of the river, which is very rare in such a desert.
If you look up, you can see a small island in the middle of the lake.
Perhaps it is because it is located in the center of the lake, so the vegetation on the island is very dense.
After seeing where the island was, the six of us went to the shade of two trees.
Zhang Qiang sat on the ground with his back against the trunk, took the mineral water bottle and began to drink, completely forgetting Zhao Qiqi's previous words.
"You kid. What did Qiqi say just now, you drink so much water, what if there is no more after that? Du Deming gave him an angry look.
"Hi. I'm so thirsty. I forgot about it for a while, hehe, I'm sorry! Zhang Qiang said cheekily while stiffly swivelling the chair topic: "Anyway, that island is quite far away from here, how can we go there?" ”
