Chapter 269: Blessings and Misfortunes
During the day, the Gobi is very spectacular and vast, surrounded by wind-eroded rocks, rising one by one, some as tall as a hill, and some strange as coral. It's a pity that the same color makes this magnificent scenery a little sad, and if there is any artist who paints these strange forms of rock color, then this must be the most unique garden.
They clearly remembered that when the top cover of the black battleship was removed, they saw the green grassland in the distance, and at this moment they slightly corrected their direction and walked towards the beautiful field.
There may be the possibility of refracting the illusion of the Sea of Death, but the direction of this grassland does not contradict the direction in which they originally went. The only thing that made them depressed was that because of their greed for money, they didn't fill the backpack compartment with water in advance, and when they smashed the jasper skeleton, those heads fell in circles, and I don't know how many fell into the pool, and they didn't dare to drink the water there anymore, so they were a little thirsty now.
They walked straight in one direction, and according to the distance they had seen from the heights at the time, they should be only a few dozen kilometers away from the grassland, and they would be almost there by this time tomorrow at the latest.
The unique shape of the wind-eroded rocks makes it very easy to get lost here, and those rocks have different postures, and if you look at them from a different angle, it is a completely different scene, so they have to keep an eye on the compass at all times, for fear of being led astray by some magnetic field.
After the heavy rain, the Gobi is difficult to have a fresh breath, and God is very face-saving without showing the sun, and the hazy clouds cover the sky, so that these people have the courage to rush in the daytime.
In the first few hours, a few people walked unhurriedly, swaying, and it was really a bit of a tourist. The three girls looked at the strange-shaped rocks, and occasionally took out the bear fat man's European cannon to take a selfie, this broken thing has been charged with the battery of a solar flashlight since leaving the car, and it is always not charged, but it can barely be used.
But soon after, thirst began to torment the three men and three women, not to mention that they drank a belly of water in the black battleship, but in this dry Gobi, that little bit of water can only ensure the life of a few people, but it cannot guarantee that they will not be thirsty for a day, after all, human beings do not have humps.
Yunya Nuan and Bear Fat Man don't have a specific target engraved mark, as long as they encounter the rock in front of them, they have to carve something, it's really not a special fetish, it's completely afraid that when they really turn back, they can find it in time.
The so-called Wangshan runs dead horses, standing on a high place and looking at the mountain, it is estimated that a few horses can run dead.
At the beginning, their optimistic estimate was only a few tens of kilometers, but no one expected that it would be so painful not long after they had walked.
They even wondered if they were lost, and began to wonder in their hearts if the compass had deviated at some point, but they didn't realize it, and as soon as this thought came out, the shadow area in their hearts became larger and larger, and the fatigue and thirst became more and more surging.
Gu Yueming began to propose to look for a water source in the direction of the downhill before continuing to hurry, and was scolded by the fat bear man for cutting his head and covering his face, and walked along the uphill slope for so long, and now he is shouting to go downhill to find a water source, and his brain was kicked by a donkey or he is still raising fish.
Fortunately, the cactus I happened to encounter on the way became a life-saving sweet spring for several people, although this thing has no calories, but it is good to replenish water.
Lucky or unlucky, along the way, they did not touch the marks they carved, and the possibility of a few people going around in a circle is not very large, which makes them feel a little comforted, after all, what they expected at the beginning was more than 20 hours away, but they didn't expect that this Gobi would be so barren along the way.
The sky gradually darkened, there was no light of the stars and moon, and at night, they had to find a place to camp at night in advance, otherwise at night, the weather would be cold, and it would really kill people.
Fortunately, there will never be a shortage of stones in the Gobi, large and small.
They moved the stones neatly, next to a huge rock that poked out their heads, and built a small fence, not to mention that there was no roof, but the wind protection effect was still very good.
The Gobi is very cold at night, and if there is a lot of wind, it will be difficult for them to conserve the heat in their bodies, but with this circle of walls, it is completely different, even if there is no fire, relying on a wolfskin cloak, they can survive this night.
The ground was covered with candle nine yin skins and wolf skin cloaks, and then several people formed a circle, curled up foot to foot, and lay down, covering the wolf skins on the bodies of several people, trying to save the usable area of the wolf skins.
Yun Yanuan was next to Diana, the fat bear was next to Kexin, and Gu Yueming was sandwiched between the two old men. Ke Xin snorted coldly at the bear fat man at first, but at night he realized that he had picked up the treasure, and this fat man was definitely a good equipment for being warm in winter and cool in summer. Especially lying on that wall, it can't breathe the wind at all.
But if you want to say that it is comfortable, it is still Yunya Nuan and Diana, they are two people who have become one person, and they are close together, and they almost crumple each other and swallow them.
Maya, this girl is still shallow, and wants to squeeze in between the two, but she is ignored by the two who pretend to be asleep, and in desperation, she has to grab Yun Yanuan's hand and fall asleep angrily.
The wind blows at night, which is a common thing in the Gobi, and it is strange that there is no wind.
The wind blew through those strange-shaped stones, making different sounds of different lengths and shorts, like crying and complaining, and like a busy city, like a nightmare. The most frightening thing is that these sounds seem to be walking, moving far and near, and sometimes as if they are passing by in the ear.
As soon as the sky was bright, they got up and rested for the night, and their state was okay, but Gu Yueming was not used to the snoring of the fat bear, a little insomnia, and his eyes were blue.
They can't wait, they have to walk more while the morning is cool, in case it's sunny, they may be at ninety o'clock in the morning, they have to stop and rest, otherwise they will have to stop and rest, otherwise they will suffer from heat stroke one hundred percent.
Yun Yanuan was ready to meet the water source, and began to pick up those green plants that he encountered by chance along the way, and no matter how bad the time was, he could also get a distiller and mix some life-saving fresh water.
However, it backfired, the sky was still gloomy, there was no sunlight, there was no way to get a still to filter fresh water, at this moment, not only thirst, hunger also began to sweep the whole body, they also had some air-dried wolf meat, but Yun Yanuan did not let them eat, because digesting food, it takes a lot of water, and their current body cannot afford it.
Originally, it was planned to be a day and a night journey, but they walked for three days and three nights, without eating, drinking, not even a cactus, and the most ruthless thing was that it was always cloudy, and it was impossible to even get some life-saving distilled water.
Ke Xin and Gu Yueming are already a little unconscious, someone must be dragged to walk, otherwise they will fall down directly, even Yun Yanuan's physique feels a little spinning, and the fat bear is not much better if he wants to.
Six people, like walking corpses, kept their heads down, did not speak, and all their strength gave their legs and breath.
Kexin fell down first, even though the bear fat man pulled her, but she had completely lost her consciousness and fainted. The fat bear is still dragging his heavy legs, and he wants to come back to carry Kexin.
But Ke Xin's fall, like dominoes, broke the persistence of several other people, Gu Yueming fell down after him, Diana also knelt on the ground, shook her head hard, and did not speak, but the meaning was obvious, she couldn't walk.
Seeing this situation, the bear fat man smiled bitterly, did not make a sound, like a silent movie, and then sat on the ground with a plop, regardless of the pain of those stones, and then looked at the ground in a daze.
Still insisting on standing, there are also Cloud Cliff Nuan and Maya.
Maya's face was also very bad, but her eyes couldn't see the slightest tiredness, they were still so bright and deep, Yun Yanuan gave her a thumbs up, made a long time, and squeezed out a sentence: "Take care of them, I'll go find water." ”
The little girl nodded, and watched Yun Yanuan walk towards the side with a few green camel thorns on the side, Yun Yanuan hoped to find even a small puddle along the plant, then these people were saved.
However, before he could get to the camel thorn, his eyes were dark, his legs were weak, and although he gritted his teeth and held his waist to prevent himself from falling, his muscles and limbs seemed to belong to him, and he did not obey the call at all, so he fell, and at the same time, a bolt of lightning swept through the sky......
