Chapter 218: Eyes of the Desert
Zheng Guo slid down the sand slope, briefly cleaned up the sand and gravel on his body, and walked briskly in the direction of the oasis.
Looking out from the sand dunes just now, he estimated that the area of the oasis was about twenty square kilometers.
That's a lot of space for an oasis.
The oasis is long and narrow in shape, like an eye in the desert, and the lake in the middle is the pupil of this eye.
"Some people call oases islands in the desert, and I've always found this metaphor graphic. In general, an oasis is a small ecosystem that operates in a unique way and is able to form a stable food network......"
β¦β¦
When we arrived at the oasis, a fresh breath came to my face.
There's nothing in the desert that excites explorers more than discovering an oasis.
An oasis means shelter, food, and most importantly, a source of water.
The diggers seemed even more excited than he was, and couldn't wait to jump into the grass.
Zheng Guo also walked in.
The body is sheltered by the canopy, protected from direct sunlight, and the body temperature is reduced by at least seven or eight degrees.
He looked around as he walked inside.
The plants here grow in layers.
The tallest can reach four or five meters, with stiff trunks and forks, and broad leaves at the top, similar to those found on Earth.
Then there are the relatively low plants, about one meter high, covered with leaves all around, which appear very fluffy. This should be the equivalent of a shrub on earth.
The bottom layer is grass, which is plants that do not have a wooden trunk or branches to support them.
Most of these leaves or weeds are green, but there are also a few other colors such as red and orange.
This distribution is also common on Earth, and this vertical distribution maximizes the use of light resources.
Squeak - squeak -
The constant sound of insects (possibly birds) is heard all around, like a three-dimensional surround music.
In the desert, this kind of audio-visual enjoyment is hard to come by.
When you enter this oasis, you are separated from the harsh desert outside, as if you have suddenly entered another world.
If he hadn't known in advance, I'm afraid no one would have believed that he was in the desert now.
Gogglers lead the way.
It leaped forward in the grass, stopping every now and then to look around, its pointed nose twitching for a moment, and then diving down to continue its leap forward.
"We're almost halfway through the process, and if nothing else, we'll be there soon."
Zheng Guo said as he walked.
"Guoye, your words are very dangerous. (γΌ_γΌ)!!β
"What a flag. β_ββ
"Why is there a sense of high energy ahead? Ξ£(Β°β³Β°|||) οΈ΄β
"Is it almost over? It feels so fast. β
"Where will you go next?"
β¦β¦
Zheng Guo chatted with the sailors for a while, and soon arrived at the lake in the middle of the oasis under the guidance of the waffle.
The lake occupies about half of the oasis.
The water of the lake is calm and shimmers dazzlingly in the sun.
The lake's edge is covered with knee-deep weeds, gently swaying in the breeze.
Occasionally, an aquatic animal stirs up a splash, and then a circle of ripples spreads out in all directions.
A harmonious natural scene.
"This is paradise." Zheng Guo looked at the sparkling lake and sighed.
Baozi is shot behind him, and the lake in front of him is used as the background, and the picture is soft and beautiful.
βThe endγβ
"Since then, Guo Ye and Baozi have lived happily ever after."
"Thank you for watching."
"To be honest, the environment is very good, I'm a little excited."
"Build a log cabin and spend the rest of your life in it with Guo Ye. (β§Οβ¦)/β
"From now on, be a happy person, build a small house, face the lake, and the spring flowers will bloom."
β¦β¦
Zheng Guo glanced at the barrage and said, "This place is so big, it won't take a day to explore it." It's okay to stay for a short time, but if you want to live here for a long time, normal people will go crazy. β
β-_-||β
"The good mood is ruined like this......"
"Lao Tzu finally got a hand in literature and art. β(οΏ£ΠοΏ£)ββ
"Don't brag, give me air conditioning and internet, I can live in it for the rest of my life."
β¦β¦
Zheng Guo took off his backpack and put it under a tree, walked to the lake, and jumped in without taking off his clothes.
There was a pop, and it disappeared in an instant.
Only ripples remain on the surface of the water.
The moment I entered the water, the heat that had been building up for days was washed away.
There is a feeling of rejuvenation.
The water of the lake is very clear, and you can see the bottom at a glance.
The bottom of the water was covered with sand, and there were many flakes of aquatic plants, and many aquatic animals of different shapes walked through it, and Zheng Guo twisted his body to escape as soon as he approached.
This lake is very large, and the biological species in it are relatively rich, and the possibility of large predators cannot be ruled out, so Zheng Guo did not swim too far and only moved near the shore of the lake.
The bun did not go into the water, it remained in place, and the camera was directed at the calm water.
The audience stared at the water for several minutes, but still did not see a figure, and some began to complain.
At this time, there was finally movement on the water.
First the ripples spread out in circles, and then there was a bang, and something was thrown out of the water and fell to the shore.
The camera focuses on the past.
It is a flattened creature with white stripes on a blue background.
After being thrown ashore, its body immediately curled up like a sheepskin roll, forming a "cylinder" more than ten centimeters long.
Immediately after, Zheng Guo also emerged from the water and swam towards the shore.
"It's a freshwater mollusk with a scientific name called 'Tattooed Worm'." Zheng Guo went ashore, wiped his face, took off his shirt and twisted it casually a few times, then put it on again, picked up the tattooed worm on the ground, came to the camera, showed it to the audience for a while, and continued, "I haven't eaten this thing before, but I heard many people say that its meat is very delicious, killing all aquatic life on the earth in seconds." Hehe, this is a blessing. β
