Chapter 19: Danger

Macon and the other two children looked at each other and immediately followed Dudian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the other children were also divided into small groups, most of them were like Du Dian and the others, with a few people in their room as a small team, some were medium-sized teams composed of two or three small teams, and the rest of the hesitant people joined the person who first proposed unity, forming a large team of nearly 100 people.

In the desert, more than 300 people gradually dispersed like a swarm of ants.

"Why are you going this way, the sun is so big!" Macon raised his hand to cover his eyes, unable to open his eyes, and had only been here for less than half an hour, and he was already sweating and hot.

"There seems to be the least number of people in the same direction as us." Another brown-haired, thin boy looked around and said, his name was Sham, one of the four in the dormitory, he had a dull personality, but he was very diligent, and he was the only person in the dormitory who could fold the bedding except for Dudian.

"Even if you avoid competition, you don't have to bask in the sun!" Macon smiled wryly.

Dudian said in a low voice: "The climate of the desert has a great contrast between the temperature during the day and at night, although it is now the black death season, the longest duration among the three seasons, and the highest temperature season, but at night, the temperature here will still drop to the temperature when the black snow season has just begun, it is now afternoon, we are walking in the direction of the west, the sun will always bake here, and at night, the sand grains in this direction will be warmer than in other directions." ”

The three of them were a little stunned when they heard Du Di'an's serious explanation. Macon said with a bitter face: "Even if you consider the problem of heat preservation at night, you don't need to bask in the sun now, it is easy to run out of water, and the gains outweigh the losses." Besides, how do you know that the temperature will drop at night in the desert, I feel that my feet are on fire, how can the temperature here be lowered! ”

Sham and another kid named Zachi were also curious, such a hot place, how cold can it be at night?

"You'll find out in the evening." Dudian did not explain the heat-absorbing and heat-dissipating effects of sand, which involved knowledge that was not taught in the course, and it would inevitably arouse suspicion when he said it, and the concept of heat-absorbing and heat dissipation could not be understood by them.

"Water sources can definitely be found, the only thing we have to pay attention to is that we must not get sick!" Dudian solemnly admonished the three Macons.

Hearing his firm words, Macon, Sham, and Zachi were a little surprised, but they had already convinced Dudian and did not question it, but were extremely curious, how could Dudian dare to assert that he would definitely find a water source in this desert full of sand?

It didn't take long for the four of Du Dian to go straight into the desert alone, completely separated from the other teams around them, which made Mei, Sha, and Zha nervous, but the matter had come to this point, they could only continue to believe in Du Dian, after all, Du Dian had never let them down.

"Do you remember what the course taught about finding water in the desert?" Dudian paused and looked around the road.

Mei, Sha, and Zha glanced at each other. "I remember, first look for shady sand, and dig under the sand, and you can usually dig out the water," Macon said. ”

Dudian raised his hand to a place ahead, where there was a raised sand slope, the sides were not exposed to the sun, and because of the angle, even if the sun was in the east in the morning, it could not shine, only for a short time at noon, "Go there and have a look." He stepped on the grains of sand, walked over first, and touched the grains of sand, and it was very cool.

Seeing this, Mei, Sha, and Zha couldn't help but be overjoyed, and squatted down to prepare for planing.

Du Dian waved his hand and said, "Wrap your hands first, don't be scratched by the stones inside." With that, he tore a piece of fabric from the cuffs of his clothes, wrapped them around his hands, squatted down and began to shave the sand.

Macon smiled: "It's still thoughtful." ”

The three of them did the same, tearing off the fabric and wrapping their hands, squatting down to dig sand.

I have to say that three months of endurance training have greatly improved the physical strength of the four children, walking four or five miles under the scorching sun, and still having the strength to cut sand at the moment, but this is also a gamble, if they do not dig out the water source, they will become dangerous, and the remaining physical strength is likely to be unable to support them to find the next place where there may be a water source.

Therefore, even Du Dian couldn't help but feel a little nervous, especially after digging to a depth of more than half a meter, he still didn't touch the soft sand, and the hearts of the four of them sank slightly.

"Let's get it done, change places." Dudian decisively stopped, with such a trend, it is possible to touch the wet sand only if you continue to dig at a depth of at least one meter, and if you want to get a water source, it is at least three meters deep, this is still the most optimistic situation, it can only be said that this place is not good.

"You've already planed so much, and you just gave up?" Macon is incredibly authentic.

Du Dian said with a calm face: "You can't bet your hope on one time, follow me and move on!" After speaking, he stopped being nostalgic, turned around and continued to move forward.

Macon and Zach were a little reluctant, and they were a little unwilling to give up halfway after a long day. Sham stood up and said, "Let's go, Dean is right, you can't bet your hopes on one chance." After speaking, he followed Dudian's footsteps.

Macon and Zach sighed, and could only shake the sand off their knees and follow.

However, when God closes a door for you, He also releases a dog for you. Not long after the four of Dudian left the pit site, Zachi, who was walking at the rear, screamed in vain, jumped half a meter high, his face was discolored, and hurriedly ran towards Dudian.

Dudian, Macon, and Sham glanced back, and couldn't help but scream in fright, only to see that in the sand, there was a snake nearly two meters long, with yellow-brown snake skin all over its body, and its scales reflected a cold luster in the sun.

"Run!" Dudian was the first to come to his senses, yelled, turned and ran.

Mei and Sha reacted and hurriedly shouted to follow.

With a plop, in vain, Macon ran too fast, tripped on both feet, and threw himself on the sand.

Dudian, who was running at the front, heard the movement behind him, and couldn't help but look back, and immediately saw Macon fall to the ground, and ten meters behind him, the yellow-scaled snake writhed and swam towards him, and the situation became precarious, he gritted his teeth sharply, turned and rushed towards Macon.

Sham and Zach were stunned for a moment, and they also noticed the fallen Macon, and their faces couldn't help but change, and then they looked at the writhing yellow-scaled snake, and their faces became extremely ugly, and they hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, Dudian had already rushed in front of Macon, grabbed his arm, and roared, "Stand up! ”

Macon got up with the help of his strength, and when he looked back, the yellow-scaled snake was already two or three meters behind him, and he only needed to jump to pounce, he was so frightened that his soul was rushing back, and hurriedly retreated, but how fast was the yellow-scaled snake?

With a whoosh, the yellow-scaled snake slammed into Macon, its fangs sharp in its cracked mouth.
