Desert Lonely Lamp Chapter 44 Desert Oasis
Several water tanks have different degrees of water leakage, from just now to now has passed most of the day, the water in it has been almost exhausted, Feng Pingping took out a roll of tape from her bag, tore open a few pieces and hurriedly sealed the hole of the water tank, temporarily delaying the leakage of the water tank.

However, this simple method is not a long-term solution, and the remaining water is no longer able to support us to leave the desert, and the top priority is to find a water source in the desert to solve our current water shortage.
"Whitebeard" has been operating in the desert for some years, and if you want to find water, you have to rely on him, and he also knows that the stakes are very important now, so he put away his cigarette gun and stopped smoking: "I remember that when we escaped from the black sandstorm just now, we ran in the direction where we came, and now if we want to find water, we can only return to the direction where the black sandstorm came from, and the back is where we walked, there should be no water, let's go forward and see, find the water source and return immediately!" ā
But just now when the black sand storm struck, it was already dark, and now the direction of judgment is only a general direction, the original route is definitely not found, the black sand storm blew over, and all the footprints were smoothed, but there was no fixed route in the desert, as long as the direction was not too wrong, it should still be able to walk back, the top priority is the problem of water, everything is easy to say when the water source is found, and the rest of the water is fucking bullshit!
We can't afford to ride camels anymore, we can't afford to waste any more time, and to waste one more second is to lose one second of hope for finding water, and now every second counts, and everyone doesn't want to waste it any longer.
Originally, riding a camel was more comfortable, after all, there was nothing else that made me feel uncomfortable except for the hot sun, but now there are camels that can't ride, so they can only be led by a rein, which invisibly takes a lot of physical strength, but it is also helpless.
In the desert, the first terrible is to cut off the water, the second terrible is to get lost, if you remove these two, the most terrible I think should be too much physical consumption, now the three have accounted for the first two, and if it goes on like this, it will not be long before we will encounter the third situation, and at the same time of physical exhaustion, the water in the body will also be lost a lot, resulting in our dry mouth and even dehydration, and then the water in the tank is still pitiful, and now we must plan to use water, If we can't find a water source in half a day, we will continue to fall into a vicious cycle of thirst and lack of water and then have to plan for water until the last drop of water is exhausted, waiting for death.
The most fortunate thing is that the black sandstorm has just passed, and the desert has returned to a rare calm, there is no wind at all, without the wind blowing, the evaporation rate of water in our body should be slowed down, but we can't forget the current crisis because of this little benefit, water, and only water can get us out of death.
I don't know how far I ran when I escaped the black sandstorm just now, I just remember that "Whitebeard" kept shouting the trumpet, and the camel kept running wildly, and it was not clear how long it was, but according to the speed of the camel just now, there must still be two or three kilometers, in other words, even if we can find a water source, at least we have to walk two or three kilometers, of course, this is only theoretical, it is possible that we will not be able to find a water source until we die.
Walking and walking, everyone began to have different degrees of symptoms, and the symptoms are nothing more than related to lack of water, which is no way, it has only been a while since the last time I drank water, if we decide to drink water now, it will reduce our survival time accordingly, so no matter how thirsty we are, we can only endure it.
"Hey, quick...... Look! What is that? Lu Yubo was hoarse, suddenly shouted excitedly, and pointed to the left front of the direction we were heading.
The rest of us were walking with our heads drooping like sick chickens, no one was staring ahead, and now Lu Yubo suddenly shouted in such a voice, but several of us were frightened, and we all raised our heads to stare in the direction he pointed, and when we saw what Lu Yubo was amazed at, we all became excited - not far from our left front, there was a desert oasis!
The distance we have to the oasis in front of us is only three or five miles away, at the current slow speed, we should be able to arrive in less than half an hour, the oasis is not large, but the sparkling lake is particularly attractive with the afternoon sun, and you can vaguely see a few gerbils and wild asses eating the weeds by the lake leisurely.
Mazi's throat moved up and down violently a few times, thinking that he was in a hurry to drink water and couldn't help but start swallowing saliva, too, people with dry mouths encountered such a clear spring, it is inevitable that there will be a reaction, if it weren't for my dry mouth and no saliva, maybe it would be more violent than his reaction!
Everyone, including the fifteen camels, saw the oasis and became excited, although their physical strength was still reduced a little, but with the goal of moving forward, they felt energetic again in a moment, and nothing could stop us from moving forward.
"Oh, I've never thought water was so important, and now when I see this desert oasis, I really want to go down and take a shower to cool off!" Li Yan's voice was also hoarse, he hadn't spoken for a long time, and now he saw a clear spring, and finally he couldn't help but laugh at his hoarse throat excitedly.
"Well, now that we see the oasis, let's hurry up, there seems to be a lot of water there, and if we drink well, we can let the camels drink more, they have also suffered a lot in the past two days!" "Whitebeard" stroked his gray beard, and patted the camel on the side: "Okay, let's have water to drink, don't forget to drink more later!" ā
After seeing the oasis, everyone began to talk more, but only Feng Pingping said a word, just staring at the oasis in a daze, I thought that she should be a girl with no resistance, and she would be like this when she was tired, so she hurriedly asked: "Are you tired when the black sandstorm came just now?" Now that we have all seen the water source, if you really can't hold on, let's drink saliva slowly! ā
Feng Pingping's lips were already chapped and began to burst into skin, but her eyes were still watery, just like the clear spring in front of her, spotless, and would not become filthy because of the filthy black sandstorm.
"Do you think it's really a desert oasis, and it won't be an illusion?" Feng Pingping's chapped lips moved, and she wanted to speak again and again, but in the end, she couldn't help but open her mouth.
Hallucination? As soon as she said this, it obviously had the effect of waking up the person in the dream. Yes, I had been looking around on my camel just before the black sand storm struck, and I didn't find any oases, so why did it suddenly appear at the critical moment when we were thirsty? I have long heard that mirages appear in the desert, and mirages often appear in the most desperate times for those who are lost in the desert, giving them hope, a hope that they will not find until they die! But the sight in front of me was so real that it didn't seem like an illusion.
"Maybe the wind and sand were too big just now, blowing the groundwater out of the ground!" I also muttered in my heart, but I still hurried to comfort her, but after comforting her, my heart became even more nervous, even if it was really groundwater that was blown out of the ground, what were those green weeds? I just don't want to think about it anymore!
