Volume 2 Stone People in the Western Regions Stone People in the Western Regions Chapter 22: Rescue from the Sky
At this moment, I began to regret a little, regretting that when I watched those wilderness survival columns, I didn't seriously study the survival knowledge in them.
But after looking around the space we were in, my regret was gone.
In this environment, I think that even if Bei Ye comes in person, I am afraid it will not be much better than me and Yiyi.
We were in a space surrounded by nothing but hard walls and stones.
With Bei Ye's attitude that everything can be eaten, if you want to find food here, I'm afraid that in addition to eating me and Yiyi, there will only be those "grassland stone people" hidden in the walls!
As for what kind of creature the "steppe stone man" is, I still can't guess it. But I think there must be other living creatures hidden in these stone sculptures, and I don't know what they are.
Today, all we have left is a few bags of compressed biscuits and half a canned bottle of food that we have eaten.
The cup of the source of life that Yiyi and I made together is now being placed in the middle of the space by Yiyi, in her words, if you put it there to precipitate, it may sink the toxic substance to the bottom of the bottle, so that it will taste better!
Looking back now, those few days were one of the most difficult times I've ever experienced.
But compared to the more dangerous experience in the future, it is still very different to have Yiyi's company and care. Even, when it was all over, I often dreamed back in the middle of the night......
I've heard before how difficult it is for people to reach their limits when they are trapped, have no water, no food, and reach the limits of the human body.
I've also read reports about the Tangshan earthquake decades ago.
However, until I experienced these environments firsthand, I always felt that they were so far away from me.
Now, that feeling is really on me. Those memories hidden in the depths of my mind have resurfaced. And those memories are no longer out of reach, but empathy!
I can't remember how long Yiyi and I have been trapped in this space, and we've digested all the compressed biscuits and half a can.
I am responsible for saying that Yiyi and I did not waste any of this food, and only ate a little when we needed it so badly.
In the end, even the filtered source of life was drunk by Yiyi and me.
Fortunately, after cooling and precipitation for a long time, the smell is not as difficult to enter the nose as it was at the beginning.
Even so, after entering the mouth, the strange and somewhat unbearable disgusting smell was unbearable.
Every sip we take takes a lot of courage.
After all the things that could sustain life were exhausted, Yiyi and I turned off the flashlight. In fact, the flashlight will not last long, and it may even run out of power the next time we press the switch.
We just snuggled up to each other, leaning against the cold wall, all our body functions were declining rapidly.
As for how long Yiyi and I have been trapped, I have no intention of paying attention to it anymore. However, according to our initial expectations, the food that we digest will last for up to three days.
And with the best we can, I think, these only foods should keep us going for more than three days.
I'm better, but I'm feeling a little depressed.
In contrast, Yiyi's condition became a little worse, she began to experience dizziness and headaches, and her mood became a little irritable.
This state of affairs is caused by the absolute darkness of our surroundings on the one hand, and a state of rebellion in the body after the extreme lack of water on the other.
What we're in right now is what we're most worried about.
According to scientific statistics, when the water shortage in the human body accounts for 1% of the body's body weight, it will feel thirsty and affect the body temperature regulation function;
When it accounts for 2%, it will produce a sense of depression and loss of appetite;
When it accounts for more than 3%, it may cause difficulty concentrating, headache, irritability, and even syncope.
More than 9%~12% of body weight: it can be fatal.
According to this data, Yiyi has reached a critical point that is about to endanger life.
At this time, how I wish my urine would come back again!
In the enclosed space around us, the temperature is not low, as if in a Roc greenhouse.
But when Yiyi and I were short of water and food, all the organs of our bodies began to become extremely weak. At this moment, I actually felt a little cold.
Yiyi's performance was more obvious than mine, and I could clearly feel her body trembling while she was clinging to my arms.
After a few days of recovery, my arm was now able to move slightly, and I endured the pain and gently patted her back.
With my comfort, her trembling body slowly calmed down, and she arched towards my neck instead.
A refreshing fragrance penetrated into my nostrils, and this familiar smell made my somewhat irritable heart no longer irritable. And, I felt a trace of warmth, which was Yiyi's body temperature.
In such a situation, Yiyi and I unconsciously became unable to concentrate, and our consciousness began to blur. I don't know if it's if it's a fainting body or a drowsiness caused by a lack of rest.
Soon, I was in a state of unconsciousness.
I can't remember how long this slumber lasted, but in the flickering I dreamed of many strange scenes.
Those scenes seemed to be in the depths of the universe, surrounded by an ethereal and chaotic environment similar to the enclosed space where Yiyi and I were.
I was in the middle of this void and chaos, surrounded by meteors that circled around some celestial bodies and then streaked into the distance.
It's as if these meteors belong to those creatures above the celestial bodies, and after passing away, they take one last look at the place where they once lived, and then leave with endless reluctance!
Suddenly, as far as I could see, I saw a huge meteorite on which stood a group of people I knew well! Meteorites move very slowly, in the same direction as all departing meteorites.
Father, Second Uncle, Aunt Ming, Master Liu, Fat Man's Father, Scorpion, Sister Ning...... There was also a beautiful woman I had never seen before, and she was standing right next to my father.
The moment I saw the woman, I unconsciously began to cry, and my heart ached.
As I used all my strength to prepare to chase after the meteorite full of people I knew well.
The meteorite seemed to have spirituality, and it suddenly accelerated! In addition, the whole body of the meteorite began to glow, and the brightness continued to increase, so strong that my eyes began to ache.
At the same time, I heard someone on top of the meteorite shouting my name:
Su Mo ...... Su Mo, wake up! ”
It was Sister Ning's voice, and I wanted to answer, but I found that my voice couldn't make a sound at all.
After hearing Sister Ning call me, my taste buds seemed to be crossed by a long-lost sweetness, which was the taste of water.
I struggled to open my eyes, and found that I was surrounded by beams of seven or eight flashlights.
These lights intertwined, making the whole room instantly brighten.
In front of me, a flaming red-lipped beauty with capable short hair appeared, who was Sister Ning who called me by my name in my dream.
At this moment, she was in a half-kneeling posture of the Qing Dynasty salute, gently patting my forehead and squeezing liquid into my mouth.
After feeling the sweetness of the water that I had not seen for a long time, I didn't care whether Sister Ning would mind in front of me, so I directly pressed her hand and began to squeeze it, so that the water in the bottle could enter my throat faster.
However, my movements didn't make me drink more water. Due to the previous hunger and lack of water, my body became extremely weak and I could not use my strength at all.
The moment I pressed the back of Sister Ning's hand, she easily bounced it away, and when I held her hand again and wanted to do the same action, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't let her squeeze the bottle.
She kept getting a small amount of water into my mouth, not letting me succeed in my purpose.
While I stared greedily at the water bottle in her hand, I heard her say to me in an unquestioning tone:
"You just woke up, you can't drink too quickly!"
In the face of her tough attitude, I had no choice but to give up.
In Sister Ning's compulsory service, my bodily functions gradually began to recover.
My voice can make a sound.
After I came to my senses, I remembered the state of attachment and began to worry.
asked Sister Ning, who was still recovering for me, "Sister Ning, what about Yiyi?" ”
My voice was so unpleasant that I couldn't believe it was coming to my ears.
Sister Ning didn't say anything, just dodged away and pointed behind her.
Near the middle, I saw Yiyi lying there quietly, next to a skinny woman with glasses tapping her lips with a cotton swab dipped in water.
Although Yiyi didn't wake up, her lips were the same as when I first woke up, and she kept sipping the water on her lips.
Seeing her in this state, I was relieved.
Instead, in a voice that even I didn't want to hear, I asked Sister Ning, "Sister Ning, aren't you in Lop Nur?" How did it end up here? ”
"Su Mo, you just woke up and need to rest. I'll explain it to you when you recover! ”
Her tone was still unmistakable.
After saying that, she made a gesture to the man who was guarding beside her, and the man took out a bag of compressed biscuits from his backpack and threw it over.
The moment I saw the compressed biscuits, my stomach began to grumble uncontrollably, and even my body began to tremble!
In my current state of hunger, I could swallow even a whole cow in front of my eyes, let alone this little compressed biscuit!
The ghost blows the lamp
