Chapter 125 rope
“Can you extract water from a living person?” Butcher squeezed his chin and asked when he looked at Zhao Mai who was filling the water bag.
Zhao Mai shook his head, how is this possible? Perhaps an evil necromancer can do such a thing, but he has no such ability. He directs the Force of Nature to collect the surrounding water, and the water in the corpse and the water in the cracks of the rock are no different to the Force. Many animals rarely drink water because they can get enough water from food.
The reason for this misunderstanding is that Zhao Mai’s movements are too fast, and the spider’s body is still shaking, so he has already pumped out the water. Filled with three water sacs, the rest can still be sipped. Then I drank the grain reserves and Xiaohua. The last bit was poured on the headscarves of the two people, and the momentary cool feeling made their minds clear.
“This corpse can’t be wasted, we rely on it for food.”
“Can this food be eaten?” Butcher pulled his beard vigorously, “Are you really sure? I will die if I eat this thing?”
“Actually, I haven’t eaten it either.” Zhao Mai told the truth: “I have to take advantage of the natural force to purify part of the food as much as possible. I can’t guarantee the taste, and the nutrition is not good, but I definitely can’t eat it. Bad guys.”
takes care of the appetite of most readers, I will not describe here how they mutilated their prey, and what part of it is stored. In fact, after a long time, Zhao Mai and Butcher both chose to forget their meal.
I added food and water, and the mental state of the two people improved a lot, but this did not reduce the danger of the desert. The biggest danger is insurmountable, and that is the sun above. As it climbs higher and higher, walking on the sand becomes a very dangerous thing.
The two wanted to stop and rest, but they couldn’t find a place to rest. The entire desert is an oven, and the only place where there is a temperature difference is only under his feet, the small circle of shadows. They couldn’t stabilize the sand, and they couldn’t dig dunes to make caves. Although knowing that going forward will consume too much physical energy, the result of standing still is even more terrifying-it will be cooked alive from the bottom of the foot.
Compared with walking here, the weight-bearing march in the swamp is nothing at all. Even if the frequency of drinking water increased, the two people began to become dehydrated quickly, their eyes started to look a little trance, and their ears buzzed. At this time, he couldn’t be stingy anymore, so Zhao Mai deliberately took a scoop of water and poured it on himself and Butcher’s heads to forcefully cool down.
“I can’t hold on anymore.” Butcher’s voice was hoarse and his eyes were dumb. “I began to have visions, I always felt that there were woods and lakes beside me.”
“Then the two of us must be connected.” Zhao Mai tied the belts of the two people together with a rope and tied a knot with force. “Follow my pace Butcher, you are big and expensive.”
“How long will it take?” Butcher asked.
“Hold on for another two hours, the sun will deviate, and there will be enough shadows in the sand dunes. At that time we stopped to rest and enjoy the cool.” Zhao Mai’s throat was itchy, but he insisted on speaking to comfort him: ” At that time, desert animals will come out for food, maybe we can catch a spider and pour water!”
“I like water, no amount is enough.” Butcher glanced at Zhao Mai and asked, “Why do you always control yourself like this?”
“In this environment, if you don’t control yourself, you will die. I dare not waste even a little effort.” Zhao Mai said: “The surroundings are so hot. I must calm down before I can control myself. My ideal is that even a mountain will follow me. The tip of his nose collapsed in front, and there should be no panic.”
“You can’t do it.”
“Yes, but I’m working hard, just like I’m trying to take my legs at the same time,” Zhao Mai said: “Work hard with me! If you don’t take your legs, I will die too. Come on, follow the rope!”
They can only stay for two minutes to tie the rope or they will lose consciousness on the soles of their feet. In fact, Zhao Mai a little hoped that his feet would be numb, so he wouldn’t have to feel the burning pain again and again. The left, right, and left sides, like drum beats, and death timers, tick tick tick tick. As long as you stop, you will be caught up; as long as you stop, you are dead.
The sun here is red, as red as blood, but there is another possibility. The blood of the people who died in this desert was quickly evaporated, and after rising to the sky, they stained the sky red. He can’t fall into that tragic end, but if he can’t find shelter in the mountains, he will definitely be cooked. Teppanyaki? Korean barbecue or XJ skewers? Maybe the animals here will care, they are not qualified.
lowered his head and moved forward mechanically, working hard. In addition to heat, the terrain here can also kill people. The inclination of the ground and the arc of the sand dunes can easily cause deception and lead to the wrong direction. Zhao Mai kept reminding himself that he must keep his attention and vigilance and not become numb, so he must always find something to do. In addition to checking his mobile phone to determine his walking trajectory, he felt the natural force around him all the time. As a result, he really had some discoveries. This place is not a Jedi, there is still life, just hidden under the thick sand. Some creatures with the ability to dig burrows adapt to the environment under the sand. They are of different sizes. They choose to hide under the dunes during the day and they will come out at night. Although he carefully concealed his existence, there would still be some information brought up by Shahai.
The most important information in the desert is about water, and Zhao Mai also pays particular attention to this aspect. There used to be plants growing here, and Zhao Mai found dead plant remains from the sand more than once. I don’t know if it was the sandstorm or the endless heat that killed these stubborn creatures, but their existence undoubtedly shows that there is still water in this sandy sea.
“Just where is the water source?” Zhao Mai had a guess that the water was hidden under the endless sea of sand, perhaps an underground river, or a buried old lake. In short, a low-lying place must be found to confirm his guess, but the sand is flowing, and the low-lying place may have been buried long ago.
Pulling power from time to time came from the rope, indicating that Butcher was almost unable to hold on. Although his body is stronger , he cannot sense the force of nature and his adaptability is much worse. Looking back, Butcher was staggering, his arms drooped, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were puffy. He has stopped sweating, which is a sign of heat stroke.
He can’t go anymore, otherwise he will definitely become a corpse. Zhao Mai looked at the surrounding environment and immediately changed direction and walked towards a large sand dune. Even if he had to rush down the sandy slope, he would not hesitate to give up the physical strength that was consumed by climbing up.
Zhao Mai is walking down, Butcher is rolling down, he can’t grasp the balance well. Zhao Mai was also dragged, and Gululu rolled down, accompanied by wailing of stored grain.
If it’s not because the sand is too hot, Zhao Mai really doesn’t want to get up. Survival is not just two words, but a full struggle. He not only has to take care of himself, but also drag Butcher to the back of the dune. After that, he dug up the most surface sand with both hands and pushed Butcher in.
The brawny man was already confused, thinking that Zhao Mai was going to bury him alive, so he struggled. However, his eyes were already hazy, and they were all phantoms of Zhao Mai. “Lie in, I’ll give you water.” In a word, Butcher lay down obediently, as if hypnotized.
As long as the sand on the surface can be peeled off, the temperature can be lowered a lot even if it goes down 10 cm. After drinking a little water, Butcher became a little quieter, but his eyes were still blurred. He had to wait for him to recover before he could leave, so Zhao Mai shook off the canvas, made a simple shade, and stopped to rest.
He sets the alarm clock on his phone to avoid forgetting the time. He was even more afraid that he would fall asleep all at once, thus killing his life. In half an hour, he said to himself, in half an hour welcome book friends to come and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at mobile phone users please To read.
