Chapter 148: Exhaustion
The transport truck has been driving for about a day and a night, but the desert is vast, and after leaving the original village, I haven't seen any other villages, from night to day, from day to night, and now Zhang Taiyan's whole body is full of energy, and he looks like he is not vomiting or unhappy, so after taking over Mao Xiyu's steering wheel and driving for a day and a night, he feels tired.

"Take a break, eat some food, and get some sleep."
Hearing Mao Xiyu's words, he stopped the transport vehicle, walked to the trunk, blocked the water storage tank and poured the water inside into the copper tank, and then filled Mao Xiyu's water bladder with water, raised his neck and drank it directly, and then handed Zhang Taiyan another water bladder.
After eating and drinking for a while, Zhong Leyuan was still sullen, and the jerky in his hand was chewing slowly, tasting the same as chewing wax.
Zhang Taiyan looked at his backpack, it seemed that there were still a few carrots, barely able to eat for two days, that is, they had to find a town in at least three days, otherwise they would really run out of food.
After resting for half an hour, I finished eating and drinking. Re-enter the itinerary. Zhang Taiyan looked at the protective plate outside, it was full of holes, and it seemed that it needed to be replaced.
...
Survival in the desert is extremely difficult, but it is also the same for mutant beasts, with no food and no water. Therefore, in their eyes, the three-person car galloping in the desert is fresh and moist food. Especially Mao Xiyu, whose skin is white and tender, is even more moisturized in the eyes of those mutant beasts.
As a result, all kinds of mutant beasts have attacked them along the way, from golden-horned pythons and desert monitor lizards to gerbils and armored spiders, and they have waged at least several fights against mutant beasts along the way.
If Zhang Taiyan hadn't been fully prepared with the battle card in his hand, and Mao Xiyu's combat power was strong, I am afraid that he would have died in the desert long ago, and now the military uniform Zhang Taiyan was wearing had been abandoned in the desert. He was knocked into the shape of a rag because of an encounter with an armored spider.
looked around and said to Mao Xiyu: "I saw that about a mile away from us, there is a cave where you can shelter from the wind and rain. ”
"Okay, the engine is running out, I can feel the temperature in the cabin now, we should take a break."
Ten minutes later, they found a cave that was desolate and unplanted, and looked unfathomable. Zhong Leyuan got out of the car and looked at it and said, "Find a way to make a fire, otherwise it will be fun if there are mutant beasts approaching at night." ”
Zhang Taiyan nodded, and went out to pick up branches or weeds that could be burned, the desert is very dry, and there will be almost no excess water from dead branches, and there will not be a lot of black smoke when burning.
After finding about 20 dead trees, when he returned to the cave, Mao Xiyu was feeding the transport truck with grain and grass, and then said to Zhang Taiyan: "The transport truck has traveled a lot of distances in the past few days, and the engine has been overloaded for a long time, so I estimate that I probably won't be able to go out of the desert." ”
Zhang Taiyan piled up the firewood, then lit it with an ignition card, and said to Mao Xiyu: "I don't have much food in my hands, and there are still some carrots left that can barely top one, but now it seems that at this rate, it will take three days at most, and I think the supplies are about to run out." ”
Mao Xiyu nodded and said, "If we are willing to eat mutant beasts, we can last another half a day." ”
Zhang Taiyan sighed, the western region is the largest region of the empire, but it is also the most barren area of the empire, in addition to coal resources, the most of them here are deserts, and it is also difficult to produce food. Therefore, there are many bandits here, and then there are many mutant beasts in the desert, but the blood in the body of some mutant beasts is the raw material for making high-grade ink, the shell can be made into armor and weapons, and the internal organs can be used for medicine.
However, because the mutant beasts in the desert are extremely powerful because of their survival, even if the alliance sends troops or mercenaries to hunt on a large scale, it will not be able to kill a large number of mutant beasts. These mutant beasts have gradually become overlords in the desert. Legend has it that there is a powerful golden python in the desert, chasing and killing seven teams of soldiers, the alliance was furious, and photographed the mecha column to exchange fire with it, but the golden python with its strong body and geographical advantages, escaped the pursuit for three months, so that the alliance had a headache, so far, the supremacy of the golden python in the desert is undoubted.
After lighting the fire, Zhang Taiyan set up the clay pot, which was found in the abandoned house, and there were also two small bowls, which were washed and put into the trunk after looking clean.
Pour the water from the tank into the clay pot and let it boil, in the desert, when the night is very cold, it is better to warm up with some hot tea.
Zhang Taiyan took out a small bowl and handed it to Mao Xiyu, poured out some hot water, then took out the copper pot and poured some hot water, and drank it slowly.
"How's your vindictiveness now?"
"It's good that it's not as scary as last time." Zhang Taiyan took another sip of water.
Since absorbing the snake blood poured on his body, the fighting energy in Zhang Taiyan's body has strengthened a lot. Mao Xiyu told himself that the golden-horned python was a descendant of the golden python, and it looked like it should be a very powerful existence, and it was completely lucky to be able to escape that day. That kind of snake blood was really overbearing for him, and it was supposed to be taken internally with several herbs, but he didn't expect it to have such a powerful effect when poured on the surface of the body.
Now Zhang Taiyan's condensed Qi is a level stronger than usual. And now it is very likely that he will break through to the second stage, and when the time comes, Zhang Taiyan will be able to release Qi power and turn it into a form as a means of attack.
"When you arrive in the imperial capital, I will go and prepare you with a medicinal bath recipe that can nourish the fighting qi, Qi and the fighting qi have something in common, and with the ability of the medicine, it should be able to improve you."
Zhang Taiyan nodded and said, "Thank you very much." ”
Mao Xiyu drank the tea and was silent, Zhang Taiyan didn't ask much, looked at Zhong Leyuan, and then handed the sausage roasted on the fire to Zhong Leyuan.
"You eat more, your body is important."
Zhong Leyuan looked at the sausage and was silent, Zhang Taiyan looked at her depressedly, and said: "Commander, it's not a way for you to be silent like this, don't give up on yourself, there will be a way after all." ”
Zhong Leyuan was silent for a while, ate some, and then walked to the side and began to sleep, she could only watch the two fight these days, but she couldn't join it, thinking of her physical condition, her heart was depressed.
Mao Xiyu finished drinking the tea and handed the bowl back, and then found a flat place, lay down, and wrapped the cloak tightly.
Zhang Taiyan was helpless, looked at the fire, and began to keep vigil.
The two had been sleeping for three hours, and Zhang Taiyan yawned, obviously sleepy.
"Whoa."
Turning his head to look into the depths of the cave, a huge spider rushed out, his eyes flashing with cold light, and the mouthparts flashing with purple light, looking extremely poisonous.
