The food we bring is basically compressed dry food, it's too hot here, if you bring other food, it will spoil in a few hours, this kind of military compressed dry food is the most reliable, whether it is high temperature or frozen, you can eat, in the warehouse on the Martin ship, there are a lot of this biscuit-like compressed food, enough for us to use these days, but the water source is relatively scarce, we can't afford to bring a lot of water, so we have to save water.

The big man kept drinking water, this head was big, and the amount of food and water was relatively much more than that of normal people, and in the blink of an eye, there were two-thirds of the water left in his kettle, which was only two hours, and if he walked for a few more hours, he would have to drink the water in the kettle.

"Big man, drink less water, we still have a long way to go." Junko was by his side and persuaded him.

The big man grinned and said, "I want to drink less, but I'm thirsty, what can I do if I don't drink water?" ”

Mai Lao said with a cold face, "Try to drink as little as possible, just moisten your throat, don't let your throat get angry, the water source is very important here, if you drink it all, it will bring a burden to others." ”

Jenny said kindly, "Let him drink it, I still have it, I can't give him my water." ”

"No, everyone's water is rationed, unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to use other people's water sources, if you want to survive in this environment, you must have the ability to exceed ordinary people." Mai Lao said unceremoniously.

But he is right, the big man has drunk all the water, we can't watch him thirsty, and then we will give him water, so that our water source will be reduced, and people will inevitably suffer, and now this water is barely sustaining us, because we don't know how far we have to go, and it is very likely that the water has been drunk, and we are not halfway there, and then it will be really miserable.

The big man's face was a little ugly, but he still put the kettle away, "Okay, I just drink less, damn it, how far do we have to go?" ”

"Jiao Ba, do you know the specific location?" Mai Lao asked.

Jiao Ba smiled helplessly and said, "How can I know, I haven't been here again, let's take one step at a time, just go all the way, you will always find it." ”

We rested for half an hour, and then began to prepare for the road again, after the tent was put away, the big guys lined up in pairs, one followed the other, Mai Lao and Jiao Ba were in the front, and the rest of us followed.

Soon, another two hours passed, and we were still circling in the desert, and we could not see anything except the yellow sand, but the further we went, the higher the temperature became, and the sand under our feet could already clearly feel the burning of our feet, although not so much that it could be burned, but it was indeed very hot.

When I got here, the wind had already started, and the wind was very strong, but the wind that blew over was hot, like steam, plus the sun's rays, I felt that my body was about to be roasted, it was too tormenting here, the temperature of this island was at least about 50 ° above zero, you can't imagine what kind of scene this was, the cold could be handled, but the heat, there was really no way at all, the horror of the desert was here.

We are just moving forward against the wind, the pace of our walking from the initial fast pace, to now it has become difficult to move forward, the wind makes everyone very tired, the wind lifts the yellow sand, for a time the sand and dust is flying all over the sky, even if we wear windproof sand glasses, but the sand still blows so that we don't even dare to open our eyes, the sand particles hit the glasses is 'popping', as if the glasses can be broken at any time.

The yellow sand hurt in my face, the whole desert seemed to be in flames of war, the sand and dust seemed to cover the whole island, the wind roared like a wild beast, the sound wandered in my ears, stimulating our nerves, if we suddenly killed a creature like a poisonous snake, we really didn't even have a chance to escape.

The strong wind and sand made it difficult for us to even breathe, we covered our mouths with our clothes, lowered our heads, and slowly walked forward step by step, Mai Lao turned around and shouted, "Zhongyi, take out the rope, everyone hold on to the rope, don't fall behind, we must get through." ”

I hurriedly took out the rope in the backpack, each of us has a rope buckle on the waist, buckle the rope with the rope buckle, and then grab the rope with my hands, and walk forward in a line with difficulty, so that at least a certain amount of safety can be guaranteed, even if someone really can't hold the rope, at the critical moment, this rope buckle can also save people's lives.

"Mai Lao, where are we going? I can't see anything anymore? Martin shouted behind me.

The power of the wind and sand has not decreased, we can not see the road clearly, we can only walk with our heads down, and our feet are also deep and shallow, fortunately we are all wearing boots, otherwise the sand would have filled the shoes with them.

That's when I felt that we were going up, because there was a clear inclination, but I didn't know where we were going, it was hell, worse than the ice city, and my skin was almost roasted.

Seeing that Mai Lao didn't answer him, Martin shouted again, "Mai Lao, we have to find a place to hide from these wind and sand." ”

Mai Lao shouted sideways, "There's nowhere to hide, just keep moving forward, everyone pay attention to their feet, be careful of quicksand." ”

But just as Mai Lao finished shouting, I heard someone behind me screaming, "Ah~~~ Help." ”

Immediately after the rope in our hands was tightened, it pulled us back, a very strong force, only to drag us backwards, I hurriedly turned around to take a look, and heard Shaoyu yell, "Captain, someone is stuck in the quicksand." ”

This time it's terrible, I'm really afraid of something, I quickly unbuckled the rope buckle on my waist, turned around and ran backwards, but when I ran over, I was dumbfounded, what kind of quicksand is this, this is almost a desert whirlpool.

This whirlpool is like a huge hourglass, five or six meters wide, and the yellow sand around it keeps flowing into it, and the mouth of the whirlpool is gradually increasing, and Shaoyu and another Malaysian are swallowed by this huge whirlpool on the edge.

The Malaysian's body has entered the whirlpool, and Shaoyu is constantly struggling on it, I ran over and grabbed the rope, and our group pulled out with all our strength, but the quicksand at the mouth of the whirlpool was too fast, and before we could pull them up, the edge of the whirlpool expanded a lot.

"Stand back, get back away." I commanded the others, but Junko was lying on the ground, still stubbornly saving people, I yelled, "Junko, you don't want to die, come back to me quickly." ”

After hearing my shouting, he got up and hid back, Shaoyu shouted in horror, "Captain, Mai Lao, save me, save me" His voice was almost unable to shout, the wind and sand were too big, and one mouth could fill a mouthful of sand.

The group of us pulled the rope back again, but no matter how hard we tried, they couldn't get up, as if there was a strong force pulling us down from below the desert, and we would be brought in by them.

I was at the front of everyone, and I saw with my own eyes that more than half of the Malaysian's body was buried in the whirlpool, and he grabbed the rope and screamed, "Help me." But the voice was getting quieter, and he seemed to have lost the ability to struggle.

I feel that something is wrong, if it is really ordinary quicksand, there will definitely not be such a strong force, there are so many of us, even if we can't pull them up, at least we can control them from sinking.

But this is obviously different, I can fully feel that there is a powerful force pulling us down here, maybe in the depths of this yellow sand, there may be some terrible creature hidden, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I just feel this way, every time I encounter danger, my intuition will be very sensitive, and this time is no exception.

"Brother Yi, what should I do? Can't pull it up. Junko shouted anxiously behind me.

Just when I was at a loss, Mai Lao suddenly rushed over, he grabbed Shaoyu's hand with his left hand, and cut the rope directly with his right hand, at the moment when the rope was broken, the Malaysian was swallowed by the yellow sand in an instant, and the whole person was like falling into the water, and he was directly submerged by the desert, and he didn't even have time to shout.

Mai Laomeng's force, directly pulled less than up, our group quickly climbed up, just after the Malaysians were swallowed by the desert, the huge desert whirlpool also began to slowly smooth, the yellow sand soon covered again, the whirlpool disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.

And just after the whirlpool was smoothed, the wind and sand began to gradually decrease, at least we could see the road ahead, and all of us looked at the whirlpool that disappeared in front of us in horror, even I didn't slow down for a while.

After a while, another of our companions died, and Shaoyu suddenly crouched down and yelled, "God, what did we do wrong?" Why punish us and why? He cried out loudly, and he had long since lost his former calmness.

Jiao Ba hugged his shoulders and said with some regret, "Don't be sad, it's not our fault, it's God's fault." ”

"My God, I'm going crazy." Shaoyu held his head in his hands, and it was obvious that his spirit was stimulated.

Martin walked up to Mai Lao at this time and asked with some reproach, "Mai Lao, why are you doing this?" We can get him up. ”

"Rescued? How to save? If I hadn't been fast enough, we would all have to be brought in by him, and none of us would have survived. Mai Lao looked at him coldly, without the slightest sense of guilt, he was not calm, but indifferent.

"I don't believe it, how can we not save him if there are so many of us, you will undoubtedly kill him by doing this." Martin glared at him and growled at him.
