Chapter 294: Survival in the Desert
All the way, I wondered why so many strange things happened in this desert, not to mention Jin Buliu's incredible superpowers, just in that scorpion hole I saw a photo of myself, and it was a naked photo, it made me think that I couldn't think of a reason why I had never been to this desert before, and I had never taken a photo like that!
There is also the weird mirage I encountered later, since it is a mirage, why can the girl walk in? I could clearly see her beckoning to us inside, and then disappearing with the mirage, where the hell did she go?
And the noodle shop we met last night, that row of lifeless houses, why did it disappear without a trace overnight?
There must be something hidden in this desert, and we have to bring enough equipment to come in again after going out this time.
Thinking about their thoughts along the way, Ye Guangci and Wei Shengjin didn't say a word, and they were probably thinking about these strange things that we had experienced.
However, although thinking about problems can distract us, we still have to eat in the end. When the sky was bright, the temperature on the ground gradually rose, and the Gobi Desert was still endless all around, and we were already too thirsty to support it.
Wei Shengjin sat on the ground and said weakly:
"It's really not going to work! I'll have to find a way to get something to drink, or I won't be able to walk."
Ye Guangci turned his head to look at Wei Shengjin, but suddenly pulled out a flying knife and shouted at him: "Don't move!" Don't move! ”
I looked closely, and it turned out that a snake with the thickness of a child's arm was coiled not far behind him, and the gray triangular head was slowly rising, and the sharp mouth was spitting letters from time to time, as if it was about to attack.
"What is it? My little heart can't stand such a toss! Wei Shengjin stood up and ran as he spoke, and the snake immediately bit him like an arrow from Xuan.
At this moment, a blue light flashed, and the snake fell from the air in an instant, and I walked in to take a look, and the place under the snake's head was cut by a flying knife, broken in half, and it was still writhing on the ground.
"It's good to shoot, I'm dizzy, if you don't shoot, you'll be finished, it's a rattlesnake! Didn't you stop moving! Ye Guangci withdrew the flying knife, walked over and cut off the snake's head with a single knife.
Wei Shengjin turned around and kicked the snake's head away:
"Hey! It turned out to be a little snake! What did I think! I'm scared of this desert."
I thought to myself, now we have something to eat.
At that moment I peeled off the snake skin, removed the internal organs, and collected some sun-dried shrubs around, and roasted the snake meat on it, and after a while, the meat was fragrant, and the three of us ate it, although the high protein of the snake meat is a good thing to replenish physical strength and energy, but the human body needs the most water to digest protein, after eating these snake meat, we are thirsty and drink the last bit of water left, looking at the plastic bottle A drop of water can not be poured down, I panicked, If you can't get out today, it's really over.
After eating the snake meat, while the ground temperature was not very high, we set off again.
When Wei Shengjin saw me putting the peeled snake skin around my neck, he couldn't help but ask me: "What are you going to do with this snake skin, it's disgusting to look at."
I sighed and said helplessly:
"Maybe it works! Bring it with you, and it won't get in the way! ”
The Gobi Desert is different from the desert because the surface of the Gobi is composed of loess and slightly larger sand and gravel. There is also more or less vegetation distributed on the Gobi Desert. When the wind blows, most of the dust blows, and when the wind is strong, there will be a landscape of sand and rocks, but the landform of the Gobi will not change. Unlike in the desert, even if you are not buried alive by a sandstorm, the surrounding terrain will completely change after the sandstorm, so you can't tell the difference between east and west.
However, the desert and the Gobi Desert are both dry and water-scarce, so water is more important than food in the Gobi Desert.
After walking for more than three hours, the scorching sun was in the sky, the temperature on the surface had completely risen, and there was no place to rest on the vast Gobi Desert.
I saw a boulder in front of me and said, "That's not the way to go!" We won't last long! Let's go and rest under the rocks in front of you."
Wei Shengjin and Ye Guangci both nodded, they didn't even bother to say anything now.
We came to the boulder group, only to see that there are large and small stones everywhere, strange shapes, but they are all round and smooth without edges and corners, it should be caused by the wind and sand for thousands of years, Wei Shengjin and Ye Guangci each found a shady place under the boulder and sat down, I climbed the highest boulder, want to see the situation in the distance.
As far as the eye can see, you can see the heat of the ground steaming upwards, and some low shrubs scattered around seem to be able to light a fire under the scorching sun, and the terrain is open and flat in all directions, but there is no sign of human activity as far as the eye can see, lifeless and lifeless. I looked up at the sky, and it was as blue as a wash, without a single cloud.
I had no choice but to jump off the boulder, and I couldn't get out of this situation today! Food comes second, and water must be found today!
I walked towards Wei Shengjin and Ye Guangci worriedly, and from a distance, I saw Ye Guangci holding a big stone with his hands and feet and licking it constantly, like taking an aphrodisiac.
I'm dumbfounded, what's going on? Could it be that dehydration has caused hallucinations, and he sees the stone as a beauty! If you want to say that Wei Shengjin is so obscene, I believe it, even if he Ye Guangci is dehydrated and hallucinates, he will not be like this!
"Brother Ye, what are you doing here! Now is not the time to go into heat! I shouted and walked over to him.
Ye Guangci ignored me when he heard my shouting, raised his head and said to himself: "Ah! Cool! But it seems to be a bit sassy! ”
When I walked up to him, it turned out that there was a thin layer of water running down the surface of the stone, no wonder this guy was licking and sucking the stone!
How can water be left on the stones under the scorching sun? I'm confused! Look up! Oops, I'll go! Wei Shengjin is standing on the rock, the big tool is exposed, it seems that he has just finished peeing! But he still swings his hands on his hips from side to side, as if he is showing off his great weapon to us under the stones!
I patted Ye Guangci, he turned his head to look at me, and that look seemed to say let me drink a little more!
I pointed to it.
He looked up, and then pointed at Wei Shengjin above and scolded: "You are sick, you pee and run to the stones to sprinkle, you mountains and rivers!" Bah! Phew! ”
I also shouted at Wei Shengjin:
"Come down! If you don't come down again, you're going to get heat stroke! ”
But Wei Shengjin still stood on it with his big weapon exposed, shaking constantly, like a coquettish child, and his mouth kept singing: There is one parked on the tree, and what kind of bird is screaming.
I suddenly realized that something was wrong, and said to Ye Guangci: "It's broken! Seeing him like this, he must be dehydrated and unconscious, so I have to quickly help him down and feed him some water to drink."
So the two of us hurriedly helped Wei Shengjin down from the boulder, and saw that he didn't say a word, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes seemed to be unable to sleep.
We helped him to lie down in the shade of the rocks and unbuttoned his clothes.
"What now! Seeing that he can't support it for long like this," Ye Guangci was also so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
I'm trying to calm myself down, the most important thing now is to find water, if it's in the desert we're going to die, but in this Gobi desert, we might still have a chance to live. This rocky area, in particular, is low, with many boulders, and occasionally one or two shrubs between the stones, suggesting that there may be water beneath the ground, and the only way now is to find a place with the lowest ground and dig down, because the rainwater is most likely to collect there and deposit into the ground.
As for whether I can dig water, and how deep I have to dig to get water, I don't know anything, so I can only leave it to fate.
I then said to Ye Guangci: "You give me the knife, you look at him, and I will go to find water."
