Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Hard Life in the Desert
While muttering and complaining about the harsh environment in the desert, he took off the white robe and turban wrapped outside, the moon had just risen, the sun had set the horizon, and the terrifying sunlight finally stopped tormenting the earth that was about to melt, now was the best time to temporarily get rid of the shackles of robes and turbans, and enjoy the temperature suitable for normal creatures for only a few dozen minutes a day in the desert.

Pannis, moving his sore shoulders, lay on the sand, groped for a while in the sand pit that had just crawled out like his own grave, and pulled out his usual backpack with all his might. Open the backpack, carefully take out the small package covered by layers of leather from the backpack, and gently uncover it layer by layer, revealing the cowhide hydration bag at the core of the package. Shaking the water bag, although he found that there was still half of the water in the water bag, Pannis still sighed regretfully, as if he was very dissatisfied with the water reserves, but he still unscrewed the lid of the water bag very carefully.
In fact, even with the strength of Pannis, in the case of going deep into the Sighing Desert, if you lose your drinking water, you will fall into an extremely dangerous situation, and it is not absolutely impossible to survive, although there is no water source on the ground and underground in the Sighing Desert, but he is proficient in the wilderness and still has the means to get a small amount of water every night, but the quantity is too small, and it is difficult to obtain enough water to support life, so Pannis attaches so much importance to his water reserves and tries to use it sparingly. It's been four days in the Sigh Desert, and two ten-liter water bags have consumed a quarter, which is already a very economical result.
And according to the direction calculation, he can arrive at the camp at the forefront of the coalition army today, where there is enough food and water for him to replenish, so even if he consumes all the water now, there will be no danger, but no wild survival expert will do such a stupid thing, these experts know very well that in the desert, any situation can happen, if you want to come out safely every time, you must prepare for the worst, and use this as the goal to allocate resources, people who can't do this are not qualified to be called desert survival experts at all, let alone survive successfully in the sighing desert。
There is no doubt that Pannis's desert survival skills can be regarded as an expert, in addition to the two ten-liter water bags, there are two smaller ones, only one or two liters of water bags are hidden in the hidden position in the package, with the current water reserves, even if he fails to find the front-line camp of the expeditionary force as planned, it is enough for him to safely evacuate the Sighing Desert, resupply and re-enter, and even have extra resources on the way, he can save one or two lost people along the way, of course, provided that he can meet them.
Opening the water bag with a reluctant expression, Pannis did not drink it directly, but only poured a few drops of water and held it in his mouth, the water spread rapidly, moistening every centimeter of dry skin in his mouth, and then stretched out his tongue and slowly licked it on his lips, moisturizing the chapped lips with the remaining dampness, so that the lips regained their ruddy luster. After doing all this, Pannis immediately re-covered the water bag, took out a large piece of dry and hard jerky and took a bite, frowning as if he was a little dissatisfied, and sprinkled a layer of salt on the remaining jerky, there was already salt on the jerky, and after sprinkling salt, it would only be more salty, but he didn't care at all, and swallowed the whole piece of jerky in a big gulp, before he spat with a bitter face: "Damn, there is too much salt, it's so salty." ”
However, this was just a self-tease in the midst of bitterness, and after replenishing the necessary food and salt, Pannis reopened the water bag and poured a lot of water into a big gulp, and the water was quickly absorbed by the body and flowed down the blood to every corner of the body.
"Phew, if you don't walk around the desert, you'll never know how happy it is to drink as much water as you want, and if you still have the chance, you must soak in the bath for three days. Pannis muttered to himself, cautiously wrapped the precious water bag in leather, and pressed his hand to the ground, sensing the temperature slightly.
The sun had set, the temperature was gradually decreasing, but the cold had not completely controlled the desert, and it was the coolest hours. If it is a little later, once it is past 9 p.m., the temperature will drop below freezing, and it will continue to drop until it reaches its lowest point at 11 a.m., and then slowly rise. Therefore, most travelers in the desert will choose to start their activities at 6 o'clock in the evening, continue until 10 o'clock, and then find a leeward place to rest for a few hours to warm up, and wait until 2 o'clock in the morning to get back on the road, until the sun rises at 5 o'clock in the morning. If you are really in a hurry and your physique is strong enough, you can also wrap yourself in a thick fur coat to fight the cold without resting, but most people will not choose to do this, after all, the temperature at midnight is too low.
"Okay, ready to go. After exploring a few times, Pannis smiled bitterly and sighed, his hands slammed into the fine sand in front of him, and a large object tightly wrapped in leather was dragged up from under the sand.
Sigh the situation in the desert is so helpless, the omnipresent wind, so that the yellow sand keeps moving all year round, as long as you stay in one place for a little longer, it will be buried by layers of yellow sand, whether it is footprints, luggage, or sleeping people, or even magic cars, if you are unlucky, it only takes a day, you will lose your trace under the cover of fine sand, fortunately, Pannis's skills in judging the location in the desert have not been forgotten, so that after waking up, you will find that your means of transportation are inexplicably missing.
After folding the leather used to wrap the locomotive, starting the magic car to make sure that there was no fault, and then readjusting the order of the items in the backpack, the coat and thick leather boots were placed on the top layer for timely access, and the complicated and tedious preparations were finally successfully completed. Compared with other environments, whether it is setting off or camping in the desert, it is a very tiresome thing, but if you want to live safely, you have to be patient with every step, and even a step can not be neglected, once any step is neglected, maybe at some point in the future, you will have to pay it back with your life.
"Boom", the magic engine started again, and Pannis finally gestured to the moon with a few fingers of both hands, adjusted the angle of his progress, and roared towards the deeper part of the desert.
