Chapter 278: Fetch Water
On the second night, he finally managed to hold on, and in the morning Lei Zi couldn't wait to open the kettle, poured it into his mouth, and was immediately stunned: "Oh no, there is no water." ()“
His tongue stretched out and swirled near the mouth of the bottle, adding the remaining two drops into his mouth, and then poured down weakly: "It's over, we don't have to be poisoned, I'm afraid we will still die in this desert." “
"We have to find a source of water, or the consequences will be dire." Bai Yi wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was not hot, he was a little nervous in his heart, the groundwater he found before was limited, and according to his understanding, the groundwater in the desert could not be directly drunk by people, it had to be distilled simply, otherwise it could only be drunk by camels, but at this juncture, where could it be managed so much, so he drank it directly, and now he couldn't even find this untreated groundwater.
"Although it is my first time in the desert, I know some ways to find groundwater, for example, if you find dense reeds in the desert, it means that water can be dug up more than a meter underground; If you see the grass, you can dig up the water about two meters underground; If we see red willows and camel thorns, it means that we dig six to eight meters down and there is groundwater; If poplar forests are found, it means that there is groundwater eight to ten meters underground. (Celestial Immortal)"
Lei Zi spat into the sand: "I can't see anything now, it's all in vain." “
"Actually, there is another way." Bai Yi said: "If there is damp sand or bitter water in the desert, we may have a chance to make water. “
Tang Sancheng pursed his lips, now that his lips have cracked, there is a bloody smell on the tip of his tongue from this lick, and this taste has penetrated into the entire mouth, the feeling is very subtle, he took a breath: "I must get out alive, let's go, find a water source." “
If you don't go, you can only stay here and wait for death, everyone dragged their tired bodies and struggled forward, hoping that there would be the end of the desert in front of them, I don't know how long they walked, Tang Sancheng finally couldn't support it, his whole body fluttered in the sand, his body was as heavy as lead, Xiaoshan went to grab Tang Sancheng's hand, not only did he pull Tang Sancheng up, but he also fluttered into the sand, Bai Yi said in a hoarse voice: "Get up, if you lie down, you will lie here forever!" Don't you still have to go out alive to save Xiao Ning and wait for the Seven Evils? “
Yes, Tang Sancheng also told himself in his heart, stand up! Tang Sancheng, Xiao Ning is waiting for you, and the Seven Evils are also waiting for you! But why is his body so heavy, Tang Sancheng's legs kicked in the sand, but he still hung down weakly, his eyes were about to be unable to open, Bai Yi and Lei Zi glanced at each other, and stepped forward to pull Tang Sancheng and Xiaoshan up respectively, just after the two of them were put up, Professor Shi over there collapsed as soon as his body became weak......
"What's this called? Lei Zi didn't notice, his hands were shaking, he was afraid, holding on.
Shi Wenbo's head plunged into the sand, Bai Yi was afraid that he would suffocate, so he took Tang Sancheng and pulled Shi Wenbo up with one free hand: "Professor Shi, be sober, otherwise everyone will have to die here!" “
"Bai Yi......" Lei Zi over there suddenly called weakly: "I'm afraid I can't do it......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell down with his head on his back, his whole body collapsed in the sand, and the hill he was holding naturally fell down with him, Lei Zi supported one hand and wanted to get up, but he couldn't use any strength, Bai Yi was already very difficult to hold the two people, maybe it was affected by Lei Zi, his legs were weak, and the three of them fell to the ground, Tang Sancheng fell the farthest, as soon as his body fell into the sand, suddenly the whole person rolled down, oh no, there was a slope!
"Sancheng!" Bai Yi stretched out his hand towards Tang Sancheng, but he pounced, and could only watch Tang Sancheng fall, how small people seemed in the desert, at this moment, all the sand seemed to be laughing at their struggle, Bai Yi didn't know where the courage came from, he crawled in the direction of Tang Sancheng, his body fell down, and the whole person rolled down!
Lei Zi didn't expect that Bai Yi, who had always been calm, would also lose his mind in this environment, and he gasped: "Damn, forget it, if you want to die, you have to die together." ()“
Lei Zi also learned from Bai Yi's appearance, and rolled down the slope, Xiaoshan and Shi Wenbo glanced at each other, Shi Wenbo smiled bitterly: "I have been a lifelong scholar, and at this age, I was killed by curiosity, forget it, I deserve it!" The two of them rolled down.
Tang Sancheng was the first to roll down, only to feel that his body was no longer his own, the sand splashed up, splashing in all directions, his head seemed to be filled with paste, he couldn't feel anything, his body finally came back to worship that moist blessing, Tang Sancheng was lying there on all fours at this time, lying there weakly, and finally ...... Stopped, the coolness from under him made his mind clearer, he grabbed the sand next to him, and was shocked, this sand ...... It's wet!
Thinking of what Bai Yi said just now, Tang Sancheng was overjoyed, just when he wanted to open his mouth to cheer, a heavy object suddenly rushed over, and hit Tang Sancheng's body firmly, so painful that Tang Sancheng screamed, Tang Sancheng even slid forward with the heavy object more than two meters away before stopping, this impact force can be seen to be normal, Tang Sancheng's hand touched the heavy object, only to hear Bai Yi's hoarse voice sounded: "Don't touch it." “
It was Bai Yi, Tang Sancheng was excited: "Bai Yi, ...... there just now"
"I felt it just now, and the sand was wet." Bai Yi's words were full of joy: "Tang Sancheng, you are really a lucky star, we can't die now." “
That piece of sand is indeed wet, and it is a big piece, after the thunder and they also rolled down, Bai Yi told them the news, everyone inexplicably recovered a little strength, in the desert, spiritual power can also be transformed into the power to live, seeing that wet sand, the ** of survival is becoming more and more intense, and everyone pays attention to Bai Yi's body.
Bai Yiqiang cheered up and took out the plastic paper wrapped in dry food from his backpack: "Leizi, dig a pit out, the deeper the better." He looked up at the sky, now the sun is strong, Lei Zi took out tools, it took half an hour, to dig a sand pit out, Bai Yi asked everyone to take out the kettle, put it into the sand pit, just enough to fit three, and covered the pit with plastic paper, covering it tightly.
"What's the point?" Lei Zi asked, "Can you really take out the water like this?" “
"I don't know." Bai Yi was tired enough to choke and lay on the ground: "I have only seen it in books before, whether we can collect water or not depends on our luck, conventionally speaking, this can make the air and soil in the pit heat up quickly, produce steam, when the water vapor reaches saturation, it will condense into water droplets on the plastic and drip into the kettle below, but the method of taking water in this way is very slow, and how much can be taken can only depend on our luck." “
Lei Zi and Xiaoshan were lying next to the sand pit, looking at the movement inside without blinking, and sure enough, there was a mist coming up, everyone seemed to see hope, Tang Sancheng suddenly shook his body: "There is water falling, really...... There is really the sound of water dripping! “
Everyone licked their lips in unison, and Bai Yi said: "Tell me when the sound stops, take out the kettle again, now we have to wait first......
Tang Sancheng counted the sound of water dripping down in his heart, his mood became more and more excited, the sense of accomplishment of escaping death was the greatest, the sun was shifting little by little, Bai Yi said: "The temperature has gone down, and it is almost the end." “
