Chapter 104: Lost
There is yellow sand everywhere, and the sky is full of clouds!
At this moment when the direction, distance, and time were all blurred, Ma Shuo suddenly felt a little at a loss!
What about the wind? Not even a trace of the wind?
If you can't make out the direction at all, it's fine to take the right path, but if you go wrong! Not only is it a matter of getting farther and farther away from the town, Ma Shuo is very likely to die of thirst!
The desert without the sound of the wind was not very cold, but the sudden departure from the tundra made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave!
The junction where I rested at night was not far from the desert, but if I walked on two legs, it would take at least a whole day to see the desert!
He couldn't see anything else from his current position, he must have been a long way into the desert!
But why don't you feel tired at all? It's as if you've been walking in the greens!
This phenomenon, which completely violates all past cognitions, and the terrifying result of the possible chaotic blending between dreams and reality, made Ma Shuo's brain completely lose the ability to think for a while!
Self-affirmation and self-denial are constantly changing roles, what should we believe in the green realm and what we have experienced now?
Which is true and which is false?
Suddenly, I remembered the inexplicable voice at the beginning again - keep moving forward!
Although there is still a huge sense of contradiction and helplessness in his heart about this matter, Ma Shuo can only choose to continue at this time!
As for the direction?
If you are going to die here, you might as well take the initiative to find a way out!
In the quiet and dead endless sea of sand, Ma Shuoshen's gray-brown figure with one shallow foot and one shallow foot is moving forward with slow but firm steps!
Bread in his left hand, water bag in his right hand, food and water are always indispensable sources of life! But there is a constant sense of urgency in his heart, but he does not dare to stop even a minute of rest!
Before seeing the green vegetation or the town, "staying alive" and "seizing the time" are his most powerful obsessions and motivations!
The desert, which is so soft that it has no sense of strength, brings him a physical exertion rate that is significantly more than three or four times faster than that of a smooth road!
After walking for less than two hours, Ma Shuo felt more tired than in the past half a day, and he couldn't wait to sit down and take a good rest!
At this moment, fine snowflakes slowly drifted in the sky, and there was a tendency to fall bigger and bigger!
Half an hour later, when the hooded cloak made of animal skins was gradually covered with a thick layer of pure white, Ma Shuo suddenly stopped!
Raised his hand to catch a few goose feather snowflakes, but his exhausted eyes were full of doubts!
No, how can it snowed heavily in the desperate desert that Murphy said would not rain for a hundred years?
The reason why Frost Snow City is called Frost Snow City is precisely because it is a dividing line between water and no water in nature in the northern territory and even in the history of North Sanke!
In other words, it is very likely that this is not a desperate desert! So, did you run to the Northwest Desert Corridor?
This is very likely, after all, when Murphy and the others chatted, he had warned himself about the safety of the northern border! In addition to not mentioning that he was not allowed to go out at night, the dangerous characteristics of the tundra, corridors, and deserts were all given the most simple and clear hints!
Now that you have determined that you are eighty percent likely to run into the corridor, as long as you are not unlucky enough to go north into the desert, you will definitely be able to get out in other directions in two days at most!
The difference is that you can either go back to the vicinity of the Frost Snow City tundra, or cross the corridor to reach the seaside or the border of the North Continent!
With his position in the tundra, even if he entered the corridor, he wouldn't be too far away! According to the map in his mind, as long as he could save as much food and fresh water as possible, he would be able to see the others alive even if he walked back and forth through the corridor!
This relatively optimistic way of thinking brought a strong impetus to Ma Shuo for a while! At the same time, the pace was much lighter, and the fire of hope in his heart was also brighter!
The snow never stopped for a moment, not even abated in the slightest! The cold in the north was indeed much worse than in the Jinwu country, and even though the snow had covered more than three inches of the desert surface, there was not a trace of melting!
Perhaps only when the snow is clear, it will sublimate a little bit after the sun shines and return to the air.
The dryness and cruelty of the northern desert is not only due to the lack of precipitation!
But even in this harsh winter season when the water is dripping into ice, God has generously gifted such a heavy snowfall! But this cold and hard land has always been so stubborn that it simply ignores it!
Let all the species that live here die, dissipate, and turn into dust little by little, until they become new accomplices and assistants in a desperate situation!
The days are very short in the winter in the North, and it's only early winter, but there are less than seven hours of light, and everything else is the time to dance in the dark!
After a long day of arduous trekking, the snow was already up to his knees!
The sky was still gray, but the ground was so white that his shadow could almost be printed!
Stuffing the last piece of bread in his hand as the last piece of dinner into his mouth, he didn't bother to take out the water bag that had already been frozen into ice cubes on his waist, and directly stopped and tilted his head and opened his mouth!
The snowflakes that continued to fall from the sky slowly drifted to the mouth. It melts into droplets of water with the heat of the ha, and falls on the broken bread in the mouth, on the cheeks, and on the forehead!
When the brain is slightly awakened by the cold stimulation, immediately lower your head and shake off the ice and water stains on your face!
In the rock-solid tired eyes, a trace of trance occasionally flashed, but it only instantly regained clarity again!
Let's rest in five hundred steps! I've walked far enough today! I gritted my teeth and walked out of the knee-deep snow pit again!
"One step, two steps!" silently recited the number in his heart, and as the last step was taken, Ma Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief!
His legs were already unconscious, and he barely bent down to dig a snow pit with his hands!
The two packages sat one by one, hugged the other, shrunk their whole bodies into the animal skin cloak as much as possible to keep warm, and slowly closed their eyes!
Under normal circumstances, if you sleep in the same way as Ma Shuo, you will probably freeze to death in the snow!
But after he had just fallen asleep and his consciousness had entered the green realm, his body lit up slightly green again! Only this time he didn't sleepwalk, this membrane was just protecting him from freezing to death by the cold!
There was no word all night, and when the sky lit up again, the snow finally became a little lighter! Ma Shuo, who had been buried in the snow, jumped up suddenly!
grabbed a handful of waist-deep snow and stuffed it into his mouth, the coldness in his mouth made Ma Shuo unconsciously stir, and thought as he shaved the snow forward: "Was it just an accident to sleepwalk in the desert last night?"
Although I don't know what time it is, when my stomach feels hungry again, I finally see a strange dark green at the end of my white vision!
