Gao Xiao Leng

Chapter 527 Desert Night
"Brother Gao, we've been walking for a long time, can we rest for a while?" Chen Xiang said weakly.

"Let's hold on for a while. It's neither hot nor cold, and we can tell the direction. When it's completely dark, we can rest for a long time." Gao Xiaoleng replied extremely calmly.

It takes more than an hour from dusk to night. This is the time when the temperature in the desert is the most stable, and it is also the best opportunity to travel. Gao Xiaoleng and others rushed for more than a hundred miles during this hour. They all used worldly lightness skills to hurry, and when it was completely dark, everyone was panting and sweating profusely.

Gao Xiaoleng asked everyone to rest next to a pile of sand. The sore back was very comfortable leaning on the pile of sand, like having a massage. Then everyone drank a few sips of water and ate some dry food. That's it. The most beautiful moment of the day.

The night in the desert is very cold, the dry cold is really terrible, and the wind in the desert at night is also very strong. Everyone is leaning against the huge sand pile in the direction of shelter from the wind, but the temperature of the sand pile is also rapidly increasing. It is estimated that in the middle of the night, people will freeze to death here.

I didn't expect that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert would be so large. Fortunately, the moon was rising. Gao Xiaoleng asked everyone to rest as soon as possible, because they had to go on the road in the middle of the night, otherwise if they really fell asleep, I'm afraid they wouldn't sleep tomorrow. Want to wake up again.

After all, Gao Xiaoleng and the others were too sleepy, they might really fall asleep, even if they were frozen to death, they would not be able to wake up.

Everyone also started to take deep breaths as much as possible, and silently operated the beating exercises in the body, so as to resist a certain amount of cold.

Everyone rested while cultivating like this, and it was midnight. The night in the desert was really cold, and what was even more frightening was that the cold air was still dry. It could be seen that it hadn't rained for a long time.

Those who were not determined quietly opened the bamboo tube and took a few sips, but those people were surprised to find that there was much less water in the bamboo tube.

Zhang Xiaoqian was among those who secretly drank water, and she immediately reported the discovery.

"Report to Boss Gao, the water in my bamboo tube has decreased a lot. I want to know the condition of the water in your bamboo tube." Zhang Xiaoqian asked seriously.

Gao Xiaoleng opened his bamboo tube, and found that the water in the bamboo tube was only half a bucket short. It seemed that they just couldn't drink it, and the water would evaporate automatically before noon tomorrow at the most.

"We don't have a skin bag for fresh water, so let's drink up the water before dawn, and then throw away all the unused supplies as soon as possible, pack lightly, and go through this terrifying desert of death as soon as possible." Gao Xiaoleng was the first to take a gulp of fresh water.

In fact, everyone is thirsty and their throats are smoking. Originally, everyone wanted to save a little precious fresh water as a life-saving drink, but looking at the evaporation rate of the bamboo tube in front of them, it is useless not to drink it, so it is better to drink it happily Woolen cloth.

Everyone ate dry food and drank fresh water, and there was not much left in their respective half buckets of fresh water after everyone ate and drank. Moreover, with just a little fresh water, I am afraid that they will find it when they open the bamboo tube next time. There was not a drop of water left, so everyone simply drank all the fresh water and threw away the clumsy bamboo tube.

After eating and drinking enough, the moonlight was strong, Gao Xiaoleng led everyone to continue on their way, this way they could resist the cold in the middle of the night, and secondly, everyone was looking for a comfort, after all, the moment everyone drank all the fresh water and threw away the bamboo tubes, they all died. They have lost their boats and they have no way out.

Go through the desert or die.

In the middle of the night, Gao Xiaoleng and the others did not speak a word in the desert march. They were moving very fast, and soon their bodies were steaming with heat. At least they would not freeze to death in such a cold night.

They went like this until dawn. The desert in the early morning has a dreamy beauty, but it is a murderous beauty, because as everyone sweats a lot, the weather suddenly heats up again at this time, and everyone will soon be overwhelmed by Suffering from lack of water.

Gao Xiaoleng led everyone forward with difficulty, and the sunlight above his head became more and more intense. The daytime temperature today seems to be higher than yesterday, maybe it has entered the hinterland of the desert.

"Brother Gao, my throat is about to burn, should we take a break?" Chen Xiang said with difficulty.

"No, you can't rest during the day in the desert. Once we sit down, we can't get up again. At least we can only rest at night." Gao Xiaoleng slowed down, maybe walking slower is considered a rest.

Gao Xiaoleng led everyone to walk in the desert of death for another whole day, and they didn't start to rest until it was dark.

Tonight's rest was rather dull, no one spoke, the feeling of pain in the bones of the whole body made everyone not want to talk, in fact, at this time, it is not only the bones that are sore, it can be said that every meridian is in pain, this Not just because of fatigue, but also lack of water.

The lack of food in the desert can last for seven days, but without water for up to three days, everyone will become a mummified corpse, without exception.

Gao Xiaoleng and the others have persisted for a day without water. If they continue to have no fresh water, at the latest the day after tomorrow, they will all turn into human beings. This is the law in the desert, and no one should think about it. exception.

And the edge of this vast desert can't be seen, Gao Xiaoleng didn't speak, neither did everyone, but everyone knew very well in their hearts that opening their mouths to speak was of no use at all, and it would make themselves thirstier.

Gao Xiaoleng was lying on the sand dune, looking at a few small stars in the sky, Gao Xiaoleng comfortably rubbed his back against the sand, feeling the temperature of the warm sand.

Gao Xiaoleng knew that not only must they continue on their way tonight, but they must also search for fresh water as much as possible, otherwise they will be in great pain tomorrow. And if they still can't find fresh water by tomorrow night, then they will stop looking for it, dead people. What are you looking for fresh water for?

"Everyone have a good rest for a while, everyone has a good rest for about a stick of incense, and then we will be on our way again. If we still can't find fresh water, then we will be in trouble." Gao Xiaoleng said truthfully.

It may be that the next journey is too painful, so everyone is resting in the most comfortable position. Anyway, whether everyone is lying or lying on their stomachs, it is to make themselves more comfortable.

It was still dark before midnight, so Gao Xiaoleng told everyone to get up and hurry, and pay attention to the humidity of the desert under their feet. Once they encountered some wet sand, they might dig out fresh water.
