A large amount of clear water gushed out of the diamond, gushing out more and more clear water, and at the same time, the water gushing out faster and faster, and this clear water instantly gathered into a small stream, flowing forward.

At this time, Chen Ziyang didn't care where the water flowed, nor did he care if the water was a hint given by diamonds, whether it was a guide to the location of the ancient country, and there was only one thing in his eyes now, that is, water that could save lives in the desert. This is the instinctive reaction of a person who has experienced hunger and thirst and despair in the desert.

In addition to a small stream flowing forward, the clear water also formed a small pool around the diamond, but because the water in the pool around the diamond was so small, the water rolled up the sand on the surface of the desert, causing the water to be very turbid.

But no matter how turbid the water is, it can save people's lives, and no matter how turbid the water is, it can quench your thirst, and now Chen Ziyang can't care so much, after seeing the clear water, he mustered up all his strength, and used his right hand to support his body and crawl forward with difficulty. Then, Chen Ziyang, who came to the edge of the quagmire, plunged his head into the quagmire all of a sudden.

A large amount of muddy water mixed with fine sand was sucked into his mouth by Chen Ziyang one by one. Even because of the too much sediment he inhaled in the first few sips, and because he hadn't drunk water for a long time, Chen Ziyang spit out all the water he had drunk, but he still sucked the water gushing out of the diamond violently.

"There's water! There's water! A hoarse voice whispered, not because the man who saw the water didn't want to shout loudly, but because he was too thirsty to shout out loud.

The colorful brilliance that emanated from the diamonds before attracted the attention of many people, and the burst of light was so bright, especially in the dark night, that the entire convoy was illuminated. So all the people outside the vehicle saw the bright light, and the people who were attracted by the bright light also noticed the water gushing out of the diamonds.

People who were dying of thirst slowly moved in the direction of the diamond from all directions, these people either crawled or barely stood and walked, although all of them wanted to rush to the diamond as soon as possible, but after all, all the people who had survived until now were physically exhausted.

However, attracted by the water source, these people still came to the edge of the quagmire one by one, and poured mouthfuls of muddy muddy water into their stomachs like Chen Ziyang.

After drinking a lot of muddy water, Chen Ziyang felt that he had regained a lot of strength, so he continued to crawl in the direction of the diamond, that is, the center of the quagmire.

In the whole quagmire, the closer to the diamond, the more clear water, and now the amount of water gushing out of the diamond is very much, except for a part of the flow, all the other water is gathered here, even if most of the water has seeped into the yellow sand, the depth of the center of the waterhole is already a few centimeters, and even Chen Ziyang saw that the diamond was about to be submerged by the water, only one tip of the diamond was still exposed outside the water.

Climbing to the center of the quagmire, Chen Ziyang finally drank a few sips of clear water containing a small amount of sediment, which was much more thirst-quenching than the muddy mud just now. After drinking a full amount of water, Chen Ziyang saw that other people had noticed the quagmire, and there were already many people around the quagmire, so he didn't care about others, but hurriedly walked back to his carriage, picked up the kettle that Instructor Liu gave him, and returned to the quagmire.

When he returned to the quagmire again, Chen Ziyang saw that the diamond had been completely submerged by the water in the quagmire, but the splash from the middle of the quagmire could still tell Chen Ziyang the location of the diamond. Coming to the vicinity of the diamond, Chen Ziyang poured the freshest water gushing out of the diamond into the kettle, and then he took the kettle back to the carriage.

"Leizi, drink water." Chen Ziyang couldn't hold back his tears and said in a choked voice. After helping Yang Lei up, he fed the water in the kettle into Yang Lei's mouth one by one, until Yang Lei drank all the water in the kettle, Chen Ziyang threw down the empty kettle, lay down beside Yang Lei and cried.

The reason why Chen Ziyang cried bitterly was not because he was alive again, nor because of how many hardships he had gone through and how much pain he had suffered, but that what he promised Yang Lei had finally been done, and he did not let this brother who could spare his life for himself die, and he finally saved the lives of two people.

After crying a lot, the water he drank before had completely made up for the lack of water in his body, Chen Ziyang actually felt that he was a little hungry, so he grabbed a bag of compressed biscuits next to him that he couldn't swallow because his mouth was too dry to swallow and ate it in a big gulp.

Because he ate too violently, Chen Ziyang choked on the **** hard biscuits, coughed a few times, and spit out the biscuits in his mouth, and then Chen Ziyang suddenly remembered something.

This time, the amount of water gushing out of the diamond was very large, which was unexpected, but the diamond stopped gushing out the water after the water was released and played a proper role in indicating it. In other words, the water gushing out of the diamonds is not endless, and although he and Yang Lei have drunk it now, there are still days to live.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang threw down the biscuits in his hand, found them in the carriage, gathered all the things that could hold water, and then carried them on his right shoulder, turned around and walked out of the carriage again.

At this time, the edge of the quagmire was already full of people, these people were either lying there gulping the muddy water in the puddle, or lying there motionless after drinking enough water, and even Chen Ziyang saw that two people had drunk too much water, which caused their bellies to bulge high, and it seemed that if they drank more water, their bellies would be burst.

There were also some people around the waterhole, and these people were helping others towards the waterhole. It is estimated that these people have already drunk enough water, and then help other people who have no strength to come to the waterhole to drink.

Seeing that the crisis of the entire convoy was temporarily lifted, Chen Ziyang had a sense of pride from the heart, after all, it was his own efforts that saved the lives of these people. With the water in hand, Chen Ziyang walked to the center of the waterhole and filled the kettles he brought one by one.

When pouring water, Chen Ziyang saw that Instructor Liu was sitting on the edge of the waterhole, looking at him with a smile, and there was a trace of appreciation and admiration in his eyes. After giving Instructor Liu a smile, Chen Ziyang continued his work.

With Chen Ziyang's reminder, other people also thought of storing water, so some people who had drunk water and regained their strength followed Chen Ziyang's example and hurriedly stored the water.

Instructor Liu ordered people to collect all the utensils that could hold water in the entire convoy, loaded them into a car, drove the car to the edge of the waterhole, and then he instructed his men to fill these utensils with clear water gushing out of diamonds. Thanks to the efforts of the entire convoy, in one night, everything in the convoy that could be filled with water was filled.

At dawn, when the last glimmer of starlight was also obscured by the daylight, the blood-colored diamond finally stopped gushing out of the water. After touching the blood-colored diamond in a waist-deep pool, Chen Ziyang carefully put the diamond away.

It was then that he saw that the water gushing out of the diamond not only formed a pool around the diamond, but also that the stream formed by the water that had previously flowed out of the diamond had also washed a drainage ditch in the desert.

The gutter flowed straight into the distance, reaching a depression. But the depression was a little far away, and it was impossible to see what had become of the water when it had flowed there.

Instructor Liu did not rush to follow this ditch to find clues to the treasure, after all, now is not the time, even if the treasure is found, there is no way to open the treasure in the current state of the people in the team. So he focused all his energy on rebuilding the fleet.

After eating a hot meal that he hadn't seen for a long time, Instructor Liu arranged for the short woman who had treated Chen Ziyang before to take care of Yang Lei. In the carriage, this woman who had never spoken to Chen Ziyang opened her mouth for the first time.

"I'm really embarrassed, the glucose and saline brought have been drunk, and there is no way to treat him with infusion now, but fortunately, his condition is not too serious, and the fever has subsided, I gave him some medicine, it shouldn't take long for him to wake up."

After thanking this woman for his kindness, Chen Ziyang felt quite emotional, it seems that his actions have won the hearts of the people for himself, and even this little nurse like a cold beauty has changed his attitude towards himself.

"The people under your hands can really drink, even the glucose and salt water have been drunk." Chen Ziyang said jokingly to Instructor Liu. Through the events of the previous few days, Chen Ziyang felt that Instructor Liu was not too bad, and the relationship between him and Instructor Liu was like the relationship between him and Xiao Na at the beginning, and after this incident, it slowly changed.

"What are glucose and salt water, these are drinkable things, you know, a lot of glass water and antifreeze in the car have been pumped out and drunk by these kids. Several people have died by drinking, two more are now suffering from pulmonary edema, and one is already blind. ”

Chen Ziyang heard Instructor Liu's tone with a hint of sadness, it seems that the loss of the team this time is very large, through the previous attitude of Instructor Liu towards these people, Chen Ziyang can see that Instructor Liu is sincere to treat these people as brothers, it seems that this incident is a very big blow to Instructor Liu.

"The situation of the convoy...... Okay? ”

"Now there are still alive, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and there are only twenty-three people left." After a deep sigh, Instructor Liu said.

Hearing this number, even Chen Ziyang, who had no feelings for these people, was shocked, twenty-three people, and the rest were less than a quarter of the total number of people in the previous convoy!

Previously, Yoshioka left the convoy with three water storage trucks and two other vehicles, and their total number was less than twenty people, plus the remaining twenty-three people, which means that more than sixty people left their lives in this desert because of this water release incident.

Some of these people died of thirst, some went out in search of water and never returned, some were poisoned by drinking too much glass of water and antifreeze, and some were killed by other people and drank all their blood.

Although Chen Ziyang didn't ask, he knew that after he solved the crisis of the convoy, Instructor Liu also shot two people with his own hands, and it is estimated that these two people were the ones who killed others before and survived by drinking blood.

"What's your next step, continue to search for your ancient treasures?" Chen Ziyang asked.

"I have a reason to continue, although after this incident, the attrition of the team is very serious, but this is the ultimate purpose of our here, as long as there is one person alive, I will continue this mission. But we can't rush now, it will take a few days for the team to recover, and I want to wait for the end of the storm to see if Yoshioka's team can come back. ”

Yang Lei woke up the next day, and after hearing about the whole thing, Yang Lei said to Chen Ziyang: "Er Yang, I have decided, after I go back, I will change my screen name to the water bag in the desert, what do you think?" ”

"A water bladder in the desert? What does this phrase mean? Do you want to remember this time forever? ”

"No, it's better to forget such a painful experience, what's the use of a water bag in the desert? It can quench your hunger and thirst, what do you think of this stalk? In the future, when I talk to beautiful women, if they ask me what my screen name means, I will answer them like this. ”

Hearing that Yang Lei's mouth began to become poor again, Chen Ziyang knew that this kid was fine. In the next two days, Chen Ziyang has been carefully watching Yang Lei, and the entire team is slowly recovering its vitality, but there has been no news from Yoshioka's team.

Although Instructor Liu said that he was not in a hurry about the treasure, several times, Chen Ziyang saw Instructor Liu standing alone in the yellow sand, looking towards the end of the drainage ditch that had been washed out by the current. But neither Instructor Liu himself nor his subordinates walked along this drainage ditch.

On the third day after the crisis was resolved, Instructor Liu learned from the satellite cloud images transmitted that the sandstorm had passed, but after another day of waiting, Ji Gangxiong's convoy still did not return.

On the evening of this day, Instructor Liu ordered all the people to hold a dinner near the picnic car, at the dinner meeting, Instructor Liu held a glass of water, and said to everyone: "Let's use water as wine today, pay tribute to our dead brothers, respect our benefactors, it is Mr. Chen's sleepless efforts in the past few days that have allowed us to survive the life and death crisis, and we drank this glass of water with him together."

Tomorrow the whole team will go out and continue our mission. ”
