Sa... the Sahara Desert?

When Chen Xu saw the mission map, he couldn't help but froze.

In an instant, those experiences in the previous life were like old wine with the lid lifted, and all of them rushed out in an instant.

That was the original world, on June 2016, 6, Chen Xu remembered it very clearly.

At that time, he had already become a relatively well-known figure in the Chinese outdoor adventure circle after experiencing such feats as trekking through XJ no-man's land, Israel National Trail, Iceland Volcano Adventure, and climbing Mount Everest.

Therefore, when deciding on the next outdoor dangerous place to explore, he and a few people in the outdoor adventure group came up with the idea of ​​hiking through the Sahara Desert, the world's largest desert known as the "Land of Death"!

Before that, in the whole world, there was only Lin Yijie, a famous marathon runner in Huaxia Bay. In 06, he crossed the 111-kilometer Sahara Desert in 7500 days, becoming the world's first human being to cross the Sahara on foot.

At that time, there were 9 people in the group including Chen Xu, who participated in this activity, and he was also the youngest in the team.

Compared to Lin Yijie's trekking with supplies, a few people plan it, it is better to make it more difficult, to go on a desert trek to survive, only bring initial resources and equipment, and find food and water sources by yourself later.

All nine of them belonged to the top outdoor adventure experts in China at that time. They had conquered many wildernesses and had rich experience in the wild. Of course, they all agreed.

Afterwards, a few people brought a small amount of water, compressed biscuits, and necessary desert expedition equipment to Morocco, Africa, starting from the capital Rabat and crossing the Sahara.

At first, because the surrounding environment of the desert was not very harsh, the few people walked very calmly.

However, after walking for more than 50 days, everyone gradually entered the depths of the Sahara Desert, and the power of the "land of death" was finally manifested.

First came the lack of food, then the lack of water.

At that time, Lao Wu, who was the captain of the hiking survival crossing activity, began to ask whether the activity should be terminated, because he was afraid of accidents, and he had a GPS emergency rescue device in his hand, as long as he pressed it, he could connect to the satellite signal. SOS.

Some of these people couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to give up, but some were unwilling and wanted to keep going.

Chen Xu was naturally not reconciled.

In this way, everyone fell into a stalemate. Old Wu proposed, saying that he would give everyone a night to think about it, and then vote on it tomorrow morning.

But just after such a hesitation, late at night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, a huge black wind and sandstorm suddenly broke out.

Old Wu pressed the emergency call without hesitation, but it was too late at that time, and, as the depths of the Sahara, even if the search and rescue team arrived here from the nearest city, it would take at least an hour.

Chen Xu still clearly remembers how terrifying the sandstorm was at that time.

No matter how good the outdoor tent is, it can't stop the overwhelming yellow sand and the knife-like wind.

Everyone fled desperately, trying to find boulders or hide in low-lying places.

Finally, when everyone escaped from death, they finally found a dry riverbed, which could be pasted on the riverbed wall to avoid sand and dust.

But at this time, a terrible scene appeared. Counting Chen Xu himself, only 5 people ran here, and Lao Wu was not included among them!

In other words, everyone ran away!

Panic slowly spread among the remaining team members.

On the second day, several people tried to find other teammates, but found nothing. Moreover, there was no sound of search and rescue helicopter nearby.

The worst thing was that a few people escaped in a hurry, and many packages were too late to carry.

Without professional outdoor equipment, it is difficult for everyone to continue.

In this way, in the process of survival, the remaining 5 people died of thirst one by one.

Chen Xu couldn't imagine that every morning, when he opened his eyes, a teammate died beside you. That feeling was like being held back by the scythe of death, but it didn't kill you, but Make you scared to death.

5 days.

Five people survived for only five days, and all died in the Sahara Desert.

Chen Xu was the last one to survive. It is ridiculous to say that he was not the most capable of survival in the team at that time, but because he was young, those brothers and uncles took good care of him and gave him priority in sharing the food they found. most.

The lack of water and the high temperature have ruined him into an "old man in his dying years".

In the end, Chen Xu accidentally walked into a huge quicksand and was swallowed alive.

The feeling that the more you struggle, the more powerless you become. In the end, you can only watch the yellow sand pouring into your ears, nostrils, and eyes from all directions.

As long as you breathe, the sand will flow down your mouth and into your esophagus.

He was suffocated to death just like that.

Thinking of the feeling at the last moment, Chen Xu now feels a little shuddering.

There was a lot of sweat on the forehead again.

I don't know if it's from the exercise, or the cold sweat from those memories.

He wiped it off with a towel and sighed.

The Devil City desert before was considered a desert, but at most it consisted of rocky desert soil, boulders, wild grass, and many more, and there were mountains that could provide shade, so the difficulty was much lower than that of the desert.

But this time the Sahara Desert is extremely difficult.

Most importantly, this is arguably one of his inner demons.

When he closes his eyes now, he is like Huang Sha, and when he closes his eyes, he can't help but think of the last life, those teammates and friends died of thirst one by one in front of him!

Subconsciously, Chen Xu turned his head sideways and saw himself in the mirror in the gym.

Compared to when he first came to the parallel world, his body has changed drastically.

"Chen Xu, you are no longer the brat who was only afraid and needed someone to take care of you."

Chen Xu looked in the mirror and said something silently in his heart.

Then he flicked the towel and walked out of the gym.

Chapter 366 Fully Prepared!

After returning to the hotel, Chen Xu began to use the computer to search for detailed information on various aspects of the Sahara Desert throughout the afternoon.

The system gives him a lot of enhancements, but he is not a god.

If you don't eat or drink water, you will die; if you are poisoned and injured, you will die.

Therefore, before setting off, he must make complete preparations.

In the last life, they underestimated the horror of the Sahara Desert precisely because they conquered too many outdoor dangerous places.

After reading for three hours, he finally mastered all the information.

Then, he communicated with the system with his mind.

Now, Chen Xu still has 36 gold coins and a platinum milestone left, if used well, it will be of great help.

He did not choose to draw the lottery because the uncertainty was too great.

Coincidentally, in the black market, a rare purple skill appeared: All Terrain Combat LV1.

This skill, which he has seen before, is to help the host adapt to grassland, snow, desert and other terrains faster, and quickly analyze and make correct judgments.

Chen Xu bought it for 35 gold coins without hesitation.

With all-terrain combat, coupled with the cross-country load crossing of the special forces lv5, it will be much easier for him to walk in the complex and changeable desert terrain than ordinary people.

However, even so, it is still difficult to walk 50 kilometers a day in the soft and hot desert.

For this reason, Chen Xu took out two more system item qualification coupons to add new outdoor equipment.

First, the shoes.

All along, the shoes Chen Xu wore were hiking boots drawn out by the system.

Such shoes are suitable for mountainous terrains such as forests and rainforests, but not suitable for desert terrains, because their heat insulation performance is poor, and the waist of the shoes is too short, which can easily enter sand and cause foot grinding.

And his backpack, which has been used almost from the beginning to the end, is very dilapidated, and its function is average, so it must be replaced.

Therefore, Chen Xu directly contacted Weiss.

Weiss is not only one of the chief directors of the Discovery Channel, but also has a wide network in the United States. He is also a retired paratrooper from the Marine Corps and has connections in the military, so he can naturally get good products.

Therefore, he directly asked for the best of the two, namely the fourth-generation desert combat boots of the US military and the desert combat backpack of the British army.

When Weiss heard it, he was naturally happy to help.

Whether it is because of Chen Xu's character or his talent, for Weiss, this is a friend that must be grasped.

However, returning from mail order in the United States still needs to go through customs inspection, and it will take four to five days at the fastest.

There was no way, Chen Xu used another mission time extension coupon to extend the mission period by five days.

Of course, he will not waste these five days in vain. In addition to applying for a passport to Morocco, the rest is to find a training room in his own club, put a bunch of electric heaters, and start training on high temperature tolerance .

During the period, he also told Wu Tong of Panda TV about the live broadcast information.

It is worth mentioning that since the last cooperation with the world platform, the top management of Panda TV has also officially launched the international version during this period.

In other words, his future live broadcasts will become synchronized globally.

But it is a pity that because the video payment habit developed abroad is subscription payment, so Panda TV adopts the same payment model as YouTube this time, which is doomed, and foreign gift income must be very small.

As soon as Wu Tong received the notification from Chen Xu, he immediately contacted the operation department, mobilized the public relations team, and began to actively promote him.

Five days later, the two items finally arrived in Chen Xu's hands.

The fourth-generation desert combat boots of the U.S. military were the military equipment that first appeared in the middle of the Gulf War and became famous. After more than ten years of development, the fourth generation has been developed. The whole boots are made of special materials, with better heat dissipation and breathability Well, insulated and much lighter than jungle boots.

Compared with the ordinary civilian version, it also specially added a honeycomb-shaped aluminum protective layer on the sole, which not only stabilizes the shoe body, but also has a very strong anti-damage ability, and even has a certain lightning protection ability.

As for the desert backpack, Weiss really took a lot of effort, because this is a 45L backpack in the British desert camouflage pattern. It was distributed in the army for a short time and was quickly replaced by the same model in MTP color. , so the quantity is not much, very rare, generally difficult to get.

However, compared with the MTP model, the material of this bag is much more refined, not only light, but also more wear-resistant. It is designed by the famous British outdoor karrimor company and manufactured by the military.

As the first country in the world to create special forces, the UK has also invested a lot in military outdoor equipment, so this backpack is much better than the outdoor backpack that was presented at the beginning of the system!

For the two items, Chen Xu used qualification coupons for them.

After packing his things, he headed to Kyoto International Airport early the next morning, preparing to take a direct flight to Morocco.

Before boarding the plane, thinking of this death trip to the Sahara, he sent a text message to each of his friends:

"I'm leaving, this time I'm going to the Sahara to broadcast live."

In the next second, Liang Heng, Hou Zi, Zai Yun, and Sister Meng all sent him text messages one by one, expressing concern.

On the other side of Kyoto, Huaxia National Geographic Magazine.

Lu Yao was sitting in front of the computer revising the article when a "ding dong" notification sound came from the phone.

When I opened it, it was a text message from Chen Xu.

Since Chen Xu took root in Kyoto, he would politely inform him every time he went out to broadcast live and after he came back.

Lu Yao smiled slightly, just about to type, but found something was wrong.

So, she immediately slid her finger down the top.

Sure enough, in the past when Chen Xu sent out live broadcast text messages, he would add a sentence at the end, come back in a few days, so as not to worry everyone.

But this time, he didn't add it.

Maybe it's because of writing all the year round, Lu Yao's thoughts are very delicate and sensitive.
