Chapter 13 Why not say it sooner

White dots of light float around. Song Nian clearly saw that the white light points were all around, forming a semi-arc.

On the other side, there are also some sparse points of light, enclosing another semi-arc.

It's like...... Between two arcs, there is something.

And this thing......

Song Nian picked up the steel shovel and dug on the other side.

She wanted to make sure that the spot was correct.

This one, a female corpse, with gorgeous jewelry, is just ...... The neck was likewise a huge laceration......

Huge lacerations...... That's right......

Song Nian changed directions, walked more than two zhang out, and then dug again.

This time, it was actually a sand scorpion that was dug up, running away from the ground at a rapid pace.

Sand Scorpion...... That's even more true......

Chu He looked at Song Nian who kept digging, tumbling down from the top of the sand dune, and landed beside Song Nian, looking at Song Nian with a sideways face.

"What are you looking at......" Song Nian continued to dig a few shovels.

Underneath the shovel, there was still dry yellow sand.

"I ...... I just think...... At this time, you are still so motivated...... Chu He's face twitched: "At this point, I am not as good as you......"

Song Nian said lightly: "Shut up, don't bother me digging sand." ”

"The mountains and rivers are exhausted...... Really, it makes people a little desperate......" Chu He looked at the vast sea of sand, lay on his back on the sand, looked up at the blue sky, and muttered to himself.

Song Nian didn't take care of the goods and continued to dig.

Chu He's consciousness is a little blurred......

Suddenly, his soul, which seemed to be detached from his body, drifted high into the sky, towards the capital, and towards the cold ancient mansion...... And the gloomy old man......

Suddenly, he felt a shake in front of him, as if he was being dragged by someone.

Then, his eyes went dark, as if he had entered an infernal hell.

It's really this hell, it doesn't seem to be full of karmic fire, as those Buddhist masters say, but ...... It's a bit cool.

"How? Isn't it better? ”:

Song Nian patted Chu He's face.

Chu He licked his lips, just now, he seemed to ...... I felt the cool moisture: "Water? ”

Song Nian casually threw him aside, stretched out his hand and tried it, and there was a slight cold feeling from his fingertips.

It should be moisture.

And with the evidence of Chu He, just now he stuffed his head into this sand pit, and he also felt the moisture.

So, it's not an illusion that I have under extreme thirst.

It's just that there is still too little water vapor in this hole.

Song Nian dropped the Chu River and continued to walk forward.

The light point of the mission radar has not yet dispersed, Song Nian selected the center of the two arcs in the floating light point and began to dig down.

This time, she dug half a foot.

Quicksand, dry sand, began to flow towards the middle of the valley, and it was impossible to dig at all.

Song Nian simply dragged the Chu River over and blocked the sand slope, and it was immediately much easier.

Shovel the dry sand on the surface to the side of the Chu River, and use the body of the Chu River to block the quicksand.

Then, continue down.

Soon, the sand became wet.

Song Nian's confidence became more sufficient.

Three mission locations in a row are all places where a large number of corpses and animals gather.

This is particularly true at this third mission site.

Many of the corpses here have been attacked by wolves.

And the reason why the wolves appear here shows ...... Here, it's the source of water!

And water, the most precious resource in the desert, is also the best place for wolves to hunt.

Song Nian...... Let's talk......" Chu He felt a shovel of sand on his body and muttered to himself.

"Shut up!" Song Nian said indifferently: "Don't worry, you can't die...... It used to be a source of water in the desert, which is why there are so many dead bodies. The same was true for the previous two locations, but we ignored them. ”

"I know...... I knew it from the beginning...... But what's the point? The water source has long dried up...... Chu He's face twitched: "It's just that I don't want you to lose your fighting spirit...... This sea of death has long since dried up completely, and it has never been ...... No one can ......"

"What's that?" Song Nian dropped the steel shovel and grabbed Chu He's neck hatefully: "You didn't say this earlier!" ”

Chu He coughed weakly twice, and said slowly: "It's useless...... I've sent people here before to get them to find the first source of water and come back...... But...... They brought enough water, but none of them came back alive......"

"Silly, they're them, I'm me!" Song Nian's heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses collapsed.

Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier?

Never mind...... It's so tiring to talk to the illiterate......

Song Nian licked her chapped lips: "Do you know why these places are water sources?" ”

Chu He shook his head lightly.

Song Nian sneered: "The reason why it is a water source is because ...... This terrain is naturally suitable for converging water! ”

"Born to gather water ......" Chu He didn't understand.

"If you don't understand, shut up!"

Song Nian didn't bother to talk to him about what aquifers and artesian wells were...... In fact, she didn't understand it very well, but she vaguely remembered that in her previous life, after many lakes in the desert dried up, they appeared for the second time, because this place was naturally suitable for the convergence of water.

The moist sand can stand upright, which makes Song Nian's excavation much easier.

But...... Nearly half a foot down, it is still moist sand.

At most, it is faintly visible, and there are a little droplets of water oozing out on the four walls, but this can't be drunk......

In order to save physical strength, Song Nian dug down the smaller it became.

It can even be said that she is digging deepest now, and not a single hand can reach into it.

…… Could it be that you can't die of thirst like this......

Song Nian stuck the steel shovel on the ground and gasped.

In this sand pit, there was a little moisture, which made her thirsty and hot relieve a little.

However, if this continues, sooner or later it will die......

But...... Song Nian glanced at the steel shovel in his hand......

What do these people do with steel shovels across distant deserts......

Also, the metal strainer...... Brass kettle......

Song Nian suddenly understood something.

She took out the copper wire strainer and bent it into a funnel shape. Tear off the clothes again, tie the brass kettle, put the strainer in the mouth, put a rag on it, and then bury the brass kettle at the bottom of the pit and cover it with moist sand.

Next, it's just a matter of waiting.

Hearing that there was no sound in the sand pit below, Chu He smiled weakly: "Song Nian...... Have you given up too......"

Below, there was silence.

"Song Nian? Song Nian! Chu He wanted to move his body, but the result was ...... The sand blocked by him lay down into the sand pit with a bang.

"Phew!" Song Nian in the sand pit was poured with sand.

She climbed out in annoyance, looked at Chu He at the mouth of the pit, and was looking at her with a concerned face.

"Give me a good place to lie down......" Song Nian was annoyed...... But seeing Chu He's appearance, he really couldn't scold him.
