In search of water, Cheng Fei embarked on the road to the Peacock River and walked among the sand dunes. The Great Desert of the Western Regions is not all deserts as people imagine, in fact, there are also many mountains, most of which are very different in shape from the peaks and Gobi cliffs that are usually seen.

This kind of terrain is very complicated, and it is often possible to lose your way if you only make a wrong turn. For the average desert traveler, if this happens, it is best to stay where you are and wait for help if someone knows where you are. Also, try to highlight where you are so that it is easier to find.

It's a pity that Cheng Fei is not an ordinary desert traveler, as an adventurer, he is still burdened with tasks, and behind the mission, there are huge benefits lurking, tempting and driving him to move forward regardless of the danger.

Luckily, he had a fairly accurate map on hand, and if he was careful, he wouldn't get lost. And, just in case, he left marks along the way.

When in distress in the wild, leaving a distress mark is an important means of survival, which is conducive to the timely development and rescue of the search and rescue team.

Cheng Fei did not hope that he would be rescued, and his goal now was clear, that is, to go to the Peacock River to obtain the water and food he needed to survive.

However, as the so-called "Wangshan ran and broke his leg", the Peacock River, which does not seem to be far away on the map, is actually one or two hundred miles away, and he walked for more than an hour, not even a tenth of it.

Indeed, his body is strong and far beyond ordinary people, but in such a harsh environment, before the road ahead is unknown, he does not dare to explode with all his strength and excessively consume his physical strength.

However, it seems that because they are getting closer to the water source, there is no longer an endless yellow sand in front of them, and clumps of plants gradually begin to appear in the line of sight.

"It's a camel thorn. ”

Nearly a month of study is not in vain, Cheng Fei recognized these plants at a glance, this is a very drought-tolerant plant, the root system is very developed, can be up to more than 20 meters, can absorb groundwater and nutrients from the desert and the Gobi depths, because this plant stems have very hard small green leaves, so the name camel, is the only grass that camels can eat in the Gobi Desert and the desert to survive, so it is also known as camel grass.

It is still far from the Peacock River, and the water is not sufficient, so the clumps of camel thorns are not luxuriant, and the branches and leaves are withered yellow, and there is no trace of life.

It's getting hotter.

Passing through the Gate of Adventure, Cheng Fei entered the desert between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, and the sunlight at that time was not too strong. However, as time goes on, the sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the temperature in the desert is rising.

At this moment, Cheng Fei felt like he was being locked in an oven, not to mention the scorching sun above his head, even the sand on the ground was constantly exuding heat, and in less than half an hour, Cheng Fei was already sweating profusely.

But even so, Cheng Fei didn't dare to open his clothes.

Many people have a misconception that it is cooler to take off their clothes in a hot place. But this is by no means universal, at least, in the desert, taking off your clothes, there is a good chance that people will die!

During the day, the temperature in the desert is very high, and the scorching heat can make people sweat a lot in a short time. It does cool you when you take off your clothes, the desert wind will quickly evaporate the sweat from you, but then the heat will make you sweat again. In this way, in less than two hours, the person will suffer from electrolyte imbalance due to a large amount of dehydration, and eventually heat stroke and even shock.

In this vast desert, heat stroke and shock are waiting for death to beckon.

So, in the desert, you need to wrap your body as much as possible, although it will make you feel hot, but it can prevent sweat from evaporating and clogging in the pores, thus preventing the body from continuing to sweat and lose moisture, which is why people who live in desert environments will wear a headscarf and wear a robe to wrap themselves up.

Moreover, in addition to making people feel unbearable heat, as the sunlight became more and more intense, coupled with the reflection of the sand, Cheng Fei felt that his eyes were faintly tingling, and he had to take off his inner vest and wrap his face, leaving only a thin slit at his eyes.

In the desert, because of the environmental impact, there is no shelter, so pedestrians will feel that the sun is particularly strong. At the same time, the sand also reflects the sun, and in such a situation, it will not be long before the eyes will feel stinging and tearing. If you don't take action for a long time, it can even cause damage to your eyes.

A gust of wind blew, Cheng Fei didn't feel cool at all, the wind in the desert was mostly dry, blowing on his body, but it was even hotter, and the yellow sand on the ground was raised with the wind, flying wildly.

In such an environment, although Cheng Fei's physique was far beyond ordinary people, his lips began to dry out in a short period of time and began to turn white.

It's almost midday, and the temperature is already at least 40 degrees Celsius, but that's not the limit, and by the afternoon, the temperature will continue to rise. In this environment, even if Cheng Fei seals the pores of his body, it is still difficult to avoid the loss of water in his body, let alone ordinary people.

Therefore, every year, countless people who enter the desert adventure die in the desert, and the vast majority of them die from high temperature and dehydration.

Without the corresponding survival skills, the average person will not survive a day in the desert.

Even a martial artist with good strength like Cheng Fei needs to replenish a certain amount of water every day to maintain his electrolyte balance.

The high temperature at noon made the air distorted, Cheng Fei walked forward with his head bored, and walked for more than half an hour, and the increasing heat made him have to stop.

He could not continue like this, starting at noon and ending at three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time in the desert, and the strenuous exercise was prone to heat stroke.

Therefore, Cheng Fei decided to find a shady place to rest for a while, and by the way........ Avoid the hottest times.

Without the help of the lens of the body camera, Cheng Fei relied on his eyes and quickly found a cool place suitable for rest.

It was a depression between two sand dunes, and there was a small area where the sun could not shine, and although the area was small, it was still a treasure of feng shui.

Sitting in the shade, Cheng Fei let out a long breath, and even his head, which was a little dizzy from the sun, felt much better.

He wanted to lie down and rest, but this shady place was too small, Cheng Fei thought about it for a while, and decided to dig a pit here, and then lie down in it.

The sand that had been exposed to the sun for a morning was very hot, and it was even a little hot to the touch, but fortunately, the sand was very soft and it was not difficult to dig up, so in less than ten minutes, Cheng Fei dug a hole that was enough to accommodate himself.

Compared to the top, the sand on the lower layer is not hot at all, and lying on it even makes people feel a little cool, so that he can't help but moan.

For the next few hours, this was his den, but before that, he needed to collect some fresh water, even if it was just a little.

After all, although he has a clear goal, how far is he from the Peacock River now?

Therefore, he must be prepared.

Even a single drop of water can be the key to saving a life!

Coming out of the sand pit, Cheng Fei used his vest to pocket some sand to act as a simple filter, and then he unbuttoned his pants and drained the urine into the filter.

Yes, the fresh water he wants to collect, is his urine!
