Ye Xuan pointed to the long tire prints on the sand behind him and said, "These four tire prints are the most obvious directional indicators. Of course, if you don't have tire prints on your side, there are other ways to get the bearing. ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward to a low sand dune. After crouching down, he pointed to the gentle windward side of the sand dunes and continued: "These sand dunes in the desert are formed by the slow accumulation of wind and wind for many years. The side with a small angle and a gentle slope is the windward side, which means that the wind is blowing from this direction. The Taklamakan Desert is located in the northwest, so it naturally blows northwest winds. From this it follows that the windward side is northwest, while the leeward side is southeast. As long as you know the two directions, you can then make a survival route. ”

Drawing a cross coordinate on the sand with his finger, Ye Xuan pointed to the south and said, "Shaya Town is located in the north, then the south is deep in the desert, so you can't go there." But if you go back the way you came, you need to walk close to 300 kilometers, which is obviously not very wise. My survival route is to the east, because the Tarim Desert Highway that runs through the entire Taklamakan Desert is there. Once you reach the desert road, you can leave by car and return to civilization. ”

"Audience, are you ready? Let's go!"

Putting on his backpack, Ye Xuan stepped on the soft sand and walked quickly towards the east.

The Taklamakan Desert has a temperate desert climate, and unlike the tropical Sahara Desert, it is divided into winter and summer, and the summer is very scorching, with the highest temperature reaching more than 40 degrees Celsius throughout the year. In some special places, the temperature can even exceed 50 degrees. The winter is unusually cold, with the average temperature generally below zero, and the lowest temperature at night in winter will plummet to more than minus 20 degrees.

It's mid-November, and generally speaking, the cold snap in the northwest has already arrived in late autumn. But this year is particularly unusual, not only did the cold snap not come, but showed signs of warming.

To be honest, it was faster and easier to walk in the desert than in the Pinnacle Ridge rainforest, but he didn't let his guard down. Although there are no poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, the quicksand that can appear at any time in the desert can easily take away people's lives. And quicksand is not like a swamp, once you get stuck in quicksand, you want to get out without the help of others, the success rate is very low and very low.

"To be reasonable, I didn't expect the weather to be so abnormal in the past two years. At this time of the year, the temperature in the desert did not exceed 10 degrees Celsius at most, but now it is as high as more than 20 degrees. ”

Twenty degrees is not too high, but it is the most comfortable and pleasant temperature, but in the desert, the situation is completely different.

There are no green mountains and green waters, no flowers and trees, only boundless yellow sand, and because there is no shelter, the sun can shine on the ground to the maximum. In addition, the specific heat of the sand is low, and it will soon become hot under the sun, and finally these hundreds of thousands of kilometers of sand continue to feed heat into the air. As a result, it is only about 20 degrees, but it makes people feel as hot as more than 30 degrees.

Walking in the vast desert, the unobstructed dazzling sunlight, coupled with the constant reflection of the sand on the ground, made Ye Xuan's eyes begin to sting, which made him have to take out the prepared windproof sunglasses and put them on.

The style of sunglasses is very trendy, and after wearing them, under the reflection of the sun, the audience in the live broadcast room cannot look directly at all.

"Fake, flashed Lao Tzu's 24K titanium alloy dog eyes. ”

"Nima, can the patriarch stop wearing sunglasses, Flash's eyes are spent. “

"Patriarch, if you don't pretend to force us, we're still good brothers. ”

"Meng Xin asked weakly, what kind of stalk is the patriarch?"

"Don't ask, you're not optimistic enough. ”

"Little brother, when you are optimistic enough, you will know. ”

"Hey, I can't stand you illiterates. ”

"Sue hey, Su hey, all shake up... Sorry, I went to the wrong set. ”

watched the barrage in the live broadcast room, and found that the audience thought he was playing handsome, and he couldn't help explaining: "When walking in the desert, because there is no shelter and the reflection of the yellow sand everywhere, the light becomes extraordinarily strong. In this environment, it won't take long for the eyes to tingle and become red, swollen and watery. If it is not treated for a long time, the situation will worsen. And in the wind, there will be a lot of fine sand, so sunglasses are very important. ”

When Ye Xuan entered the desert, it was 12 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the sunlight is just beginning to become stronger. As time passed, the sun in the sky became hotter and hotter, and the temperature in the desert suddenly rose again.

At this moment, he was already sweating profusely, the T-shirt in his jacket was completely wet, and the scorching sun above his head made his head a little dizzy from the sun.

Stopping, Ye Xuan shook his somewhat dizzy head, and after putting down his backpack, he would take off his jacket. Then, under the puzzled gaze of the audience, he took a dagger and cut a long strip of cloth the width of a palm on the T-shirt.

The white strip of cloth was already completely drenched with sweat, and he didn't care at all, and directly wrapped his head and neck firmly with the strip of cloth. After wrapping it, he looked very weird at the moment, like an Arab with sunglasses. Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately laughed.

Putting on the thick jacket again, taking out the kettle and taking a sip, Ye Xuan explained: "Many people have a misconception that in a hot place, it will be cooler to take off their clothes. But in the desert, taking off your clothes will only make you die faster! Don't think I'm joking, you'd better keep that in mind. ”

"The high temperature in the desert, combined with strenuous exercise, will make you sweat a lot in a short period of time. Taking off your clothes does make you feel cooler, but know that everything in the desert is dry and windy. These winds blow on the bare skin and quickly evaporate the sweat, but then the heat and exercise make you sweat again. This cycle can cause you to become dehydrated in a short period of time, leading to electrolyte imbalances and even shock. In the desert, what it means to be dehydrated and shocked, I believe you should all know without me saying. ”

Continuing to hang the kettle on his waist, Ye Xuan put on his backpack and set off again, and continued as he walked: "In the same way, the head also belongs to the exposed skin. So to survive in the desert, it's best to wrap yourself tightly. Although this can make you feel hot, once the clothes are wrapped, the sweat cannot evaporate and can clog in the pores, preventing the body from continuing to sweat and lose moisture. This is why Middle Easterners living in desert environments carry a turban and wrap themselves in robes. ”

A breeze blew, and Ye Xuan didn't feel cool at all, but even hotter. The fine sand on the ground is slowly falling with the breeze, like the next sand rain.
