"MAY, MAY, LISTEN TO ME!" NIE YUANBIN GRABBED MAY'S ARM, TRYING TO KEEP HER CALM AS MUCH AS SHE COULD.

"I know it's my fault that I'm in the current situation, but now, we have to find a way to get out of here first, and I'll explain it to you slowly when we get back, okay?"

"Leave? I want to leave too, how can I leave? I've never been to the desert, and I don't have the experience and skills to survive in the wilderness, what should we do, what should we do! ”

MAY is only 25 years old after all, and when he encounters such a thing at this age, he does not immediately collapse on the spot, and he is already beyond ordinary people.

"MAY, PLEASE BELIEVE ME, I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET YOU OUT OF THIS GOBI, BELIEVE ME."

MAY RAISED HER HEAD AND LOOKED AT THE MAN IN FRONT OF HER, HER EYES WERE FIRM AND POWERFUL, NO MATTER WHETHER WHAT THIS MAN SAID AT THIS TIME WAS TRUE OR FALSE, SHE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO BELIEVE.

"Perhaps, God doesn't want to take away me, a person who is good for nothing but numbers!" MAY THOUGHT TO HIMSELF.

"How are you going to get me out?" MAY TRY TO CALM HIMSELF. She knew that only by believing in her and following him could she have the possibility of surviving.

"If you get lost in the Gobi, the first thing is to save yourself."

Nie Yuanbin said.

"The first step to self-help is to find direction.

In the Gobi Desert, the surface layer of the road surface is composed of fine sand and gravel particles, and the structure is loose.

Because the cohesion between the sand particles tends to be close to zero, the shear strength is low, and the adhesion coefficient is very small, the car drives on this road surface, and the sand particles constantly squirm backward under the action of the wheel driving force, causing the driving wheel to slip, and the automobile traction force can not be fully utilized, resulting in driving difficulty.

According to the characteristics of driving in the Gobi desert, you can only travel 20 kilometers in an hour.

Dunhuang takes about 6 hours from sunset to sunrise, and if you keep driving in this direction, the maximum distance from where you painted yesterday is 120 kilometers.

The Devil's City is east of Lop Nur, so you have to find out where the east is.

The Earth rotates every 24 hours, 15° in 1 hour, so the hour hand of the watch moves exactly twice as fast as the Sun.

According to this principle, if the sun is in the east at 6 a.m. and the shadow of the object points to the west, the hour hand on the watch points to the sun, and the "12" on the dial points to the west.

If the dial is rotated 90°, that is, half at 6 o'clock, so that the "3" on the dial is facing the sun, then the "12" points to the north; At 12 noon, the sun is located in the south, and the "12" is folded in half, so that the "6" on the dial is facing the sun, and the "12" is still pointing to the north, and the east is the direction of the "3" pair. ”

NIE YUANBIN LOOKED AT HIS WATCH, IT WAS JUST 12 O'CLOCK AT NOON, HE PLACED A DEAD BRANCH FACING EAST ON THE GROUND, PRESSED IT WITH A STONE, AND THEN PULLED MY MAY TO HIDE IN THE SHADOW OF THE CAR.

"If you have a direction, why don't you go?" MAY ASKED

"We walk on the desert Gobi, we will pay more effort than walking on ordinary roads, now the surface temperature is more than 40 degrees, the body water evaporation rate is 2-3 times the usual, we can't walk for a while, we will be roasted, once there is dehydration, it will be over. So now let's rest first, wait for the sun to set, and then we'll go. ”

Throughout the afternoon, they huddled under the shadow of the car, constantly moving in the direction of the sun to minimize exposure and control water evaporation. Finally, when the sun set in the west, the two drove towards the east.

NIE YUANBIN ASKED MAY TO DRINK A SMALL CAP OF WATER EVERY HOUR, TALK LESS, AND TRY NOT TO EXPOSE HIS SKIN DIRECTLY TO THE SUN, WHICH CAN PROLONG THE TIME OF DEHYDRATION. As long as you can live a little longer, you will have more hope and an increased chance of being saved.

The two drove all the way east, without the madness of last night, only silence.

MAY NO LONGER HAVE THE RESENTMENT SHE HAD AT THE BEGINNING, SHE STARED AHEAD, TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE STEAM, BUT THE VASTNESS WAS RECKLESS, NOTHING.

30 km of gasoline, quickly ran out. They took only 2 bottles of water and a small bag of biscuits, as well as a thin rotten blanket in the trunk, and set out on foot.

The temperature difference between day and night in the Gobi is very large, and at night, the cool breeze blows and blows directly from the neck to the feet, plus the thirsty, hungry and tired, MAY is physically exhausted, sits on the ground, and does not want to go again.

NIE YUANBIN ASKED MAY TO EAT A FEW BISCUITS, DRANK HALF A BOTTLE OF WATER, TOOK OFF HIS COAT AND DRAPED IT ON MAY, AND ADDED A BLANKET, "Is it better now?" Nie Yuanbin asked.

"It's better, I was so uncomfortable just now, if I die like this, then I should be the most beautiful corpse here for thousands of years!"

MAY'S MOOD SEEMS TO BE POSITIVELY BURDENED BY THE DISCOMFORT OF THE BODY, AND AT THIS TIME, YOU CAN STILL JOKE.

"Silly girl, don't be cranky, we'll rest here for a while, and then we'll leave when you're recovered." Nie Yuanbin comforted MAY.

"By the way, you are a painter, how do you know so many desert survival skills, you used to be in the field army?"

"I'm from a field army, I'm just a painter, but I've traveled through here before."

"So you like this kind of extreme sports? However, when crossing the Gobi, aren't there all off-road vehicles following? There are tents, sleeping bags, enough water and food in the car, as long as you have enough money, and the whole medical team, you can only walk and pose for pictures. That's a game with X. It's like us now, we're really crossing the Desert of Death now, not to mention the off-road vehicles, there is not even a living thing, it's like after the earth is ravaged by fire, there is no scum left, maybe you are the last person I have ever met. MAY SMILED.

In fact, she wanted to cry to death, but she could only endure it at the moment. She spoke lightly of the current situation, carefully expressing her uneasiness.

Nie Yuanbin looked at the girl who was pretending to be strong, patted her on the shoulder, and said firmly,

"That crossing was just a game, but there was an accident in the game, so we got lost.

But in the end we came out, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me.

The Gobi Desert is not as terrible as you think, so you don't have to worry, I have experience, as long as you listen to me, we will definitely go out. ”

MAY LOOKED AT NIE YUANBIN, FEELING THAT THIS MAN DID NOT ONLY HAVE THE BREATH OF A LITERATI, BUT ALSO A LITTLE HEROIC SPIRIT AND SAVIOR DEMEANOR, MAY SUDDENLY FELT THAT HE WAS NOT SO AFRAID, AND HIS INTUITION TOLD HER THAT THEY WOULD DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO GO OUT.
