August 24th, fine... No, in the desert, there is no cloud, so you don't have to worry about this detail, even if there is a cloud blocking the sun, it is considered cloudy.

It has been nearly twenty days since the beginning of autumn, but the weather is still hot, and it is still not weak in the desert.

Ren Hai looked at the moon in the sky, looked down at a small piece of cactus meat in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and cherished it extraordinarily.

In addition to this cactus, there are only some mutant mutton left, and the rest, whether it is vegetables, cakes, or all kinds of food, have been exhausted, and the entire backpack seems empty.

Five standard five-liter blue buckets were neatly arranged in the backpack, and only the last one had a little water......

Either way, it means that you are about to reach your limit, and you can't get through this no-man's land safely with a backpack as a large reserve of equipment, let alone those who don't have a backpack.

The two of them have been gone for a long time!

"Xiao Haizi, why don't you go by yourself, you don't have to take me with you." Qiao Ling'er seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said to Ren Hai.

"No way!" Ren Hai decisively refused, then took out some mutant mutton, set up a pot, and boiled about two small bowls of soup with the little fuel and water left.

However, it is just to heat it up, and boiling mutton for a long time, whether it is in terms of fuel or water evaporation, is a great waste, and Ren Hai will definitely not do this.

Qiao Ling'er saw the sheep soup, her eyes lit up, and she didn't mention letting Ren Hai abandon her.

Ren Hai evenly divided the soup and meat into two bowls, and then handed a bowl to Qiao Ling'er, Qiao Ling'er hurriedly took it, without using chopsticks, directly drank the mutton soup, and then ate the meat, the mutton was not fully cooked, and there was a trace of blood and raw meat.

After eating, he licked the bottom of the bowl clean, and then looked at Ren Hai with blank eyes.

"I finally know why you're so careless about what you eat." Qiao Ling'er said in pieces.

When people are hungry, they don't care how to eat the healthiest food, and only when they are full of food will some miscellaneous doorways be born, which is what they do.

Ren Hai didn't eat so fast, he tasted it attentively, ignoring Qiao Ling'er's eyes at all, he finally ate a good meal, naturally he had to taste it with his heart, like Qiao Ling'er, not only did he satisfy his cravings, but even wanted to eat more.

However, the energy is replenished, he must live, and Qiao Linger must also live.

One bite, two bites, Ren Hai chewed and slowly ate a small bowl of mutton with soup, and then put the bowl away.

The originally weak body became full again because of this bowl of mutton.

"Let's keep going." Ren Hai said a word to Qiao Ling'er, and then took the lead in hurrying, this was the most he said during this time, because there was no other way than this.

Qiao Ling'er struggled from the ground for a while, then staggered and followed Ren Hai, and rested late at night as usual.

In the early morning of the next day, Ren Hai was awakened by a stream of that, and then found a place to solve it, and the amount of urine was very small, just a little.

In fact, whether it is Ren Hai or Qiao Ling'er, it has been a long time since there has been a serious trumpet, this morning, maybe because of the small bowl of mutton soup last night, it is good to solve it, and it can be properly detoxified.

If it weren't for the mental obstacles, Ren Hai would have liked to throw a seed down and get a vegetable, hesitated for a long time, thought about it or forget it, walking forward, maybe he could meet some cacti or something.

After Ren Hai finished solving it, as soon as he looked up, he saw a large lake in front of him.

The lake is sunken and surrounded by many trees, and the water of the lake looks very clear, and there are many small animals drinking and birds chirping.

It's not very big, but it's extremely exciting.

"Water, water." At this moment, even Ren Hai's mood was a little excited, which meant that the two of them could live.

Qiao Ling'er was awakened by Ren Hai's shout, and then ran over, looking at everything in front of her, the distance didn't seem to be far, so the two ran wildly, but they couldn't walk in front of them, about ten minutes later, Qiao Ling'er stopped first.

"That's not true." Qiao Ling'er said lightly, with loss in her tone.

Ren Hai's face was full of questions, but he didn't ask them, just looked at Qiao Ling'er.

"Look, it's fading." Qiao Ling'er pointed to the lake that seemed to be in front of her.

Ren Hai looked in the direction Qiao Ling'er pointed, the lake was indeed fading, it was originally quite solid, but this meeting became illusory, and after a while, it disappeared completely.

"It's a mirage." Qiao Ling'er looked at Ren Hai's face full of questions, and took the initiative to explain: "A mirage is usually something from somewhere else, and then because of some miscellaneous reasons, it is finally projected as a phantom. ”

After Qiao Ling'er finished explaining, she sat on the ground, staring blankly ahead.

"That is, what we just saw is real?" Ren Hai directly grasped the point of this sentence.

He didn't know what kind of mirage this was, and he didn't particularly understand Qiao Ling'er's explanation, but he was only interested in the fact that all this was real just now.

Qiao Ling'er glanced at Ren Hai, then nodded affirmatively, and then said: "Generally speaking, mirages are real in reality, and they are basically not far away, of course, this is not far away for us. ”

After Qiao Ling'er finished explaining, she continued to sit on the ground, as if she suddenly thought of something: "Wait, nearby?" Mirage? Xiao Haizi, we're going out, we're going out. Qiao Ling'er shouted excitedly.

Hearing what Qiao Ling'er said, Ren Hai also became in a good mood, the two of them instantly sobered up, and went straight forward, the two of them did not change their direction, they still rushed in the original direction, the appearance of the mirage confirmed that the route of the two was correct, as for when they could go out, it was only a matter of time.

After two days of hurrying, the two of them encountered the first desert with vegetation.

Compared to the overall topography, it is much lower, with a drop of 10 to 15 meters compared to the general plan.

The desert here looks much better than the quicksand he encountered before, and he can still feel some moisture slightly, Ren Hai looked at the sky, it was already noon, and he didn't continue to hurry.

Rest is secondary, and the most important thing is to collect the supplies you need, such as the dead branches here, the vegetation here.

Ren Hai randomly collected some dead branches, and then began to dig with a shovel in the densest vegetation.

He needs to collect water.

This method is also available in the wasteland.

I don't know how long I dug it, but Ren Hai shoveled some sand with moisture at once.

Ren Hai looked slightly excited, and then accelerated his digging, digging until he was deep, a full thirty meters deep, before stopping, because Ren Hai had already seen that some water began to seep outside.

"Xiao Haizi, water, there is water." Qiao Ling'er shouted excitedly, desperately suppressing her idea of rushing up directly to drink saliva.

Looking at the big pit dug by himself, it was enough to have the diameter of a rice cut, and it was in the shape of a gentle slope, and Ren Hai dug a small pit in the deepest part.

This helps in the collection of water.

After a while, the water seeped into the small pit, and Ren Hai took out a five-liter standard bucket and began to fill it inside.

The water is very clear, Ren Hai felt it slightly, and the radiation value was about ten or twenty, which was undrinkable for Qiao Ling'er.

However, this may not be very difficult for Ren Hai, Ren Hai can use the happiness value to remove nuclear radiation until late at night, Ren Hai has not stopped, has been collecting water, although there is water, but the amount is not large, until the five buckets are full, Ren Hai stopped, and sprinkled all kinds of vegetable seeds around, and kept pushing the backpack full, Ren Hai stopped.

After collecting the supplies, Ren Hai was a little reluctant to leave the pit, like a jackal who had been hungry for a long time, even if he was very full of food, he couldn't eat it anymore, and he couldn't finish it, but he was also reluctant to leave the excess prey.

With a heart, Ren Hai left the pit directly, and cleared all the water and vegetables in his backpack with happiness points.

And a small amount of water was taken out, and the two men drank it separately.

"Xiao Haizi, there is so much water, why can't you drink it more happily." Qiao Ling'er didn't bother much, she was able to persist during this time, purely relying on Ren Hai's precise control.

Ren Hai must have his reasons for doing this, but he just needs to ask the reason.

"We are always in a state of water shortage, and if we drink a lot of water at once, our body will not be able to stand it." The specific Ren Hai didn't know why, but he still knew what would happen.

Qiao Ling'er didn't know, maybe it had something to do with the reason why she never lacked water to drink......

Early the next morning, Ren Hai did not leave with Qiao Ling'er, although he guessed that it might not be far from the desert, but it was just a feeling, so he needed to be in good condition here, so that even if he experienced it once, he could hold on.

Make a fire, wear skewers, this time, the main thing to eat is roasted vegetables, and the biggest meat is mutant mutton, and there are very few, a person can only eat one skewer.

After an hour or two passed, Ren Hai and Qiao Ling'er were both half-full, without staple food, and they always felt that something was missing in their stomachs.

It wasn't until the evening that Ren Hai finished replenishing his backpack and set out on the road again.

Due to the good rest during the day, the two of them chose to travel overnight, and the vegetation gradually increased, not only in particularly sunken places, but even on some small slopes, there were shrubs.

It wasn't until I couldn't stand it anymore that I rested for a while, and I got up in the early morning and continued to hurry.

At noon, Ren Hai found a sunken place with vegetation and began to rest with Qiao Ling'er.

In a daze, Ren Hai seemed to hear some movement, and with a drowsy feeling, Ren Hai opened his eyes and removed the twig covering his face to shade the sun.

Roar!

A low roar appeared, and Ren Hai's body immediately bowed up, ready for battle.

In fact, this voice doesn't feel like there are many clones, but after all, it's been so long, and I haven't encountered a clone.

"Wake up." Ren Hai shook Qiao Ling'er, and Qiao Ling'er also woke up, looking at Ren Hai a little confused.

"What's the matter, Xiao Haizi? Are you going to keep going? Let's go. Qiao Ling'er habitually rubbed her eyes, then got up and yawned.

These are all habits that have been developed during this time.

"There are clones!" Ren Hai whispered, but he didn't know whether it was excitement or what he felt in his heart.

I think it's not good, it's not right, after all, even if it's a clone, it's a human being, this is enough proof that I'm going to leave this damn desert, I think it's okay, this special clone, it's going to fight when we meet.

Qiao Ling'er was not as nervous as she was when she first saw the clone, she just kept calm and waited for Ren Hai's news.

"Wait a minute, you hide first, I'll see how it goes." After Ren Hai finished speaking, he walked towards the roar.

There were footprints on the slightly silvery sand, and Ren Hai found a relatively tall sand dune, took Barrett out, and then looked in the direction of the roar.

As soon as he found it, Ren Hai felt a sharp gaze towards him, and then saw some clones running towards him.

All this happened so suddenly that Ren Hai was not prepared at all.

At a glance, the number of clones is not large, but there are quite a few, there are five or six thousand, and that gaze is clearly a smart brain.

It's all K1 here, and there isn't a K2 level, after all, all K2 and above have some IQ and won't wander around at will.

As soon as he looked at it for a while, Ren Hai secretly said that it was not good, because he saw that the first batch of people who rushed over was extremely fast, this was the kind of agile clone he had seen before.

As soon as Ren Hai was about to retreat, he thought of Qiao Ling'er who didn't know where to hide behind him, if he retreated, Qiao Ling'er would be prone to accidents.

Gritting his teeth, Ren Hai rushed forward bravely, after all, it was only five or six thousand, what if it was solved.

took out two Barretts, shot directly, didn't even aim, and hit blindly, after such a long time of strength practice, Ren Hai's strength had already broken through to 33 points, and his physique was 26 points, and the recoil of the two Barretts was completely able to withstand it.

It's just that in an instant, he fired a few shots, roughly aimed at the direction, shot, loaded, shot, if it weren't for the fact that the second form of the hoe was not as powerful as Barrett, and there was only one, Ren Hai would definitely choose the hoe, after all, it would save too much time without loading bullets.

Barrett's impact was very large, and the clones were eliminated and there were hundreds, but this still had no practical effect, but after driving for a while, he stopped, and took advantage of the situation to put Barrett in his backpack, because the clones were already very close.

Putting away Barrett, Ren Hai took out his shovel, switched to the second form, and then began to control the surrounding vegetation to attack the clones frantically, but also blocked the footsteps of some clones.
