Chapter 398: Sand and Dust Storm, Team Scattered!
Sun Yi and the others didn't figure out the situation, "What do you mean?" What to do with a camel? ”
Leng Yanyun looked into the distance and said in surprise, "The wind is blowing." ”
The desert was originally dry, but suddenly the wind blew.
At the moment, the wind is not very strong.
However, the wind gradually became stronger, and the sand on the ground slowly blew.
Chongning was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that there is a sandstorm?" ”
Ji Shaotao said: "Hurry up, everyone don't move where you are, hold the camel tightly." A sandstorm is coming! ”
As he spoke, he patted the camel beside him.
The camels also seemed to sense the danger, and they all crawled down and crouched on the ground.
Before everyone came, they all went through detailed science popularization.
Encountering a sandstorm in the desert is extremely dangerous.
Chongning and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly grabbed the camel king beside them.
Sun Yi, Leng Yanyun and Duan Jingzhi also approached their camels one after another and hugged them tightly.
"Xuan Zhen and Yang Haoyu are still in the dry forest!"
Chongning looked into the distance, very worried.
Ji Shaotao groaned and said, "It's too late, the sandstorm is coming soon!" You see, the poisonous insects around are gone! ”
Sure enough, the centipedes, red ants and sand snakes that had gathered in front of the fire were nowhere to be found.
The red ants that had penetrated through the sand layer had also disappeared without a trace.
The perception of these poisonous insects far exceeds that of all animals, and they can quickly know the slightest abnormality.
So, the sandstorm just started.
This group of poisonous insects and ants has long since slipped away.
Duan Jingzhi pointed to the distance, her face changed greatly, "Brother Ning, look at the sky!" ”
Chongning looked up at the sky, and was also surprised.
I saw that above the sky, there was a yellow cloud. The whole sky is like yellow sand.
The sand and dust that obscured the sky swept the sky and was rushing towards this side.
The sand on the surrounding ground has begun to loosen.
Endless winds, constantly rising.
The wind grew stronger and more violent.
"Ahh Brother Ning! Duan Jingzhi exclaimed, her arm broke off the camel reins, and her petite body was almost blown away!
The yellow sand swept and the wind was fierce.
The surroundings had become blurry, and it was impossible to see what was going on three feet away.
Chongning followed the voice, moved a few steps forward, and grabbed Duan Jingzhi's arm by feeling.
"Brother Ning, I feel like I'm going to be blown away!"
Duan Jingzhi threw herself into Chongning's arms, and her small body couldn't withstand the wind at all.
Chongning hugged her tightly, and the camel king next to him also leaned over, blocking the two of them with his huge body, like a reliable mountain.
The wind became more and more violent, and Chongning couldn't open his eyes at all, so he could only rely on instinct and lean on the camel king's side.
The sound of the surrounding storm was also a rapid roar.
The entire desert seems to be caught in an endless whirlpool.
Such a large sandstorm is extremely terrifying.
It was dark, as if the world was apocalyptic. In the center of the storm, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
The sandstorm lasted for a long time before the wind gradually became lighter.
Chongning looked at Duan Jingzhi in his arms, shook it, and said, "Jingzhi, are you okay?" ”
The wind was strong just now, and the two of them nestled tightly in the belly of the camel king, but don't use too much force and suffocate it.
Duan Jingzhi shook her head, shook the yellow sand off her head, and said, "I'm fine, what about the others?" ”
Chongning stood up and found that half of his body was buried in the sand.
Fortunately, there is a camel king guarding next to it, so that it will not be all buried.
He shook the yellow sand on his body, his clothes and hair were full of fine grains of sand, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"Huh? What about the others? ”
While Duan Jingzhi was still sorting out her clothes, Chongning looked into the distance and was very surprised.
Ji Shaotao, Sun Yi and Leng Yanyun are gone.
Their camels are gone.
The surrounding area was yellow sand, quiet, as if no one else had ever appeared.
"Sun Yi! Captain Ji! Cold girl! ”
Chongning shouted loudly at the empty sand.
However, there was no response in the desert.
Duan Jingzhi struggled out of the sand layer and looked around, looking nervous, "Brother Ning, are we separated?" ”
The sandstorm just now was too violent and lasted for a long time.
The sand layer will move according to the sandstorm.
Half an hour at a time, the position may be shifted very far.
Moreover, during the sandstorm, everyone's only support is their own camels.
Whether the camel can withstand the sandstorm is also the key to survival.
The weight of the camel king is extremely large, like a needle of the sea god, squatting in place, no matter how big the sandstorm, it is difficult to move.
The rest of the camels, it's hard to say.
Ji Shaotao: They may follow the movement of the camel and constantly correct their positions.
Gradually, it deviated from the original place.
In short, in a word, Chongning and Ji Shaotao were separated.
At this time, the Xixia team was divided and divided into several groups.
At the beginning, Lu Pingliu disappeared for no reason, and it is still doubtful whether he saw the intention of making money.
Xuan Zhen and Yang Haoyu went to the dead forest in order to relieve the poisonous insects.
In the sandstorm, Ji Shaotao, Sun Yi and Leng Yanyun were nowhere to be found.
At this time, only Chongning and Duan Jingzhi remained.
Duan Jingzhi was very flustered, and the guide and captain were nowhere to be found.
The two of them became headless flies in the vast desert.
Now let alone recognize the way, even if it is the direction of east, west, north and south, she can't tell the difference.
In the desert, it can only be a dead end. m.
Duan Jingzhi's dry throat became more and more uncomfortable, and said, "Brother Ning, what should we do?" ”
Chongning's heart was also very flustered.
However, in front of Duan Jingzhi, he could only do his best to calm down.
If he panicked, the two of them would be hopeless.
"It's okay, I'm here, don't worry. We're going to be fine. ”
Chongning looked at the desert and said soothingly.
Duan Jingzhi heard Chongning's assurance, and her heart felt a little better.
After the sandstorm, the whole desert becomes dead quiet again.
Duan Jingzhi said: "I'm thirsty. ”
Only then did Chongning react, did they still have water?
In the desert, there is no water, and it is over.
He turned his head sharply, slightly relieved, for the camel king's tank was still there.
"Come, I'll fetch you water."
As he spoke, he took the water bag and walked to the side of the camel king, ready to fetch water for Duan Jingzhi.
Duan Jingzhi responded, and there was no movement after waiting, feeling wrong, "Brother Ning, what's wrong?" ”
Chongning's face turned pale, and it was obvious that something terrible had happened.
The water tank is leaking!
At this time, the entire tank, there is still a bottom left, and there is only such a shallow layer.
Duan Jingzhi walked over and saw the situation, and her entire body trembled.
"W-what can I do about this?"
Such a little water is simply not enough to last long.
Even if you save it, you only have three days of water.
In the vast desert, there is no water, it is tantamount to waiting for death!
Chongning calmed down, and there was no other way now.
The sandstorm just now was so strong that it destroyed the water tank.
It's still a bit underwater, thank goodness.
In the case of the water tank, there is not a drop left, and they have no choice.
Chongning picked up the water bag and then filled the rest of the water bag.
There are only three and a half water bags in total, one bag a day, and it can only last for three days.
The situation is dire.
Chongning handed the water bag to Duan Jingzhi and said, "You drink it first." ”
Duan Jingzhi also knew the importance of water, so she just added it a few times, moistened her lips and finished counting.
"What do we do next?"
Chongning looked at Duan Jingzhi's eyes and knew that in her heart, she was the pillar.
"The most important thing for us is to find water first!"
Duan Jingzhi frowned slightly, "Looking for water?" Where to look? ”
In the vast desert, finding a water source is easier said than done.
What's more, neither of them had outdoor experience, and both were new to the desert.
All the terrain is almost the same, and it is difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south.
They only talked about some simple water finding common sense during the training.
However, when I really encountered it, I didn't know where to start.
Chongning recalls the training at that time.
Water is the guarantee of life, especially in the depths of the desert.
Lao Liu Tou once said that if you are looking for a water source, you can find a place with green plants in the desert.
If there is green vegetation, there is a high probability that you will be able to find a water source.
Or in the desert, find a turf place.
Where there is turf, there will also be water.
It is possible to dig under the turf, and if it is wet underneath, you can also dig up water.
Chongning looked around, surrounded by yellow sand, there was no trace of green at all, where to find vegetation.
Obviously, this path is not feasible.
In the sky, if there are birds crossing by, follow their tracks and may find a source of water.
Chongning looked at the sky again, it was empty, and there was no shadow of any birds.
These common senses, when encountered by reality, do not work at all.
Duan Jingzhi also dug out the notes at that time, corresponded one by one, and found that none of them could be matched.
"Brother Ning, are we going to die?"
Chongning was speechless and said, "What, dead, alive." There must be a way. ”
Duan Jingzhi threw the notebook on the ground, "I can't use a solution." How do we find water! ”
Just when Chongning was depressed, something came into his eyes.
Camel King!
The camel king next to him, after shaking off the sand grains on his body, stood in place, very leisurely.
Chongning's eyes lit up and said, "We have a camel king, what are you afraid of!" ”
Duan Jingzhi was puzzled and said in surprise, "What do you mean?" ”
Chongning said: "This camel king was born in a wild camel, survives in the wild all year round, and is the leader of the camel herd. ”
"It's in the wild, isn't it easy to find a water source."
Duan Jingzhi's eyes widened, she was extremely happy, and said, "Yes, we have the camel king here, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to find a water source!" ”
With that, the two of them quickly came to the side of the camel king, full of anticipation.
Chongning hugged Duan Jingzhi and came to the camel king. "King Camel, take us to find water!"
As he spoke, he took out some fodder from behind and fed it.
The camel king seemed to understand Chongning's words, looked up to the sky and hissed, and then walked into the distance!
Some people died, but not completely......
