Under the green cactus, Wen Zheng sat in the shadow, looking up at the sunset in the sky.

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the Yellow River.

After entering this world, Wen Zheng was in the mood to watch such a spectacular sight for the first time.Instead of trying to dry out like the midday sun, the setting sun softened and slowly approached the horizon.The orange-red light shrouded the yellow sand, and even the cacti were dyed a layer of red.

Although the desert is barren, one can clearly feel the unique beauty of the desert when one comes out of it, which is a magnificence that cannot be described by words or pictures.

Of course, the premise of appreciation is that you will not be troubled by how to live.

In the stone stove built with stones not far away, the collected dead wood is slowly burning, and the burning flame is licking the cactus placed on it.

The cactus is the only plant eaten by camels in the desert. In order to adapt to the arid environment and reduce water evaporation, the cactus has needle-shaped leaves, and the plump stem contains sufficient water.

Some cacti in the desert have toxins and are not suitable for consumption. Wen Zheng is lucky, the cactus he met this time is suitable for consumption.You only need to remove the thorns on the surface, and you can chew it directly in your mouth. If possible, it will taste better when it is roasted on the fire.

After Wen Zheng came near the camel, the first thing he did was to check on the two people on the camel's back.

The two of them didn't make any movement on the hunchback, and they didn't even come down when they saw the cactus, so Wen Zheng was already at the worst psychological preparation.But fortunately, although the two people were in an extremely dehydrated state, they still had a breath. They were much luckier than the original body who had no camels and could only walk by himself, fainting to death in the desert.

Snatched a few pieces of cactus from the camel's mouth, chopped them up, put them into an empty kettle and mashed them with a dagger, Wen Zheng poured the mashed juice into the two mouths.After all, it is two lives. In the memory of the original body, these two are good people. One of them is a professor who is over [-] years old. If he only feeds cactus juice, it may be difficult to survive. Wen Zheng feeds each of them. The two of them swallowed the stamina recovery potion.

On the undulating horizon, the figure of the setting sun gradually disappeared, leaving only a touch of blood red.

"Cough... water..." A weak and almost inaudible voice came from beside him. Wen Zheng turned his head and looked over. The young man Huang Li, who was about the same age as the original body, woke up, his dry lips moved slowly, and he let out the most urgent voice of his body. demand, "Water..."

Wen Zheng walked up to him with the water bottle, and carefully poured the cactus juice into Huang Li's mouth. Afraid that Huang Li would choke and the precious water resources would be spilled on the ground, Wen Zheng tilted slightly, Only a few drops are poured into Huang Li's mouth at a time.

However, Huang Li, who is not yet conscious, couldn't wait for the water to enter his mouth a few drops. He sat up with the strength he had just recovered in his body, snatched the kettle from Wen Zheng's hand, and immediately poured the water into it. mouth.

The kettle in his hand was clenched tightly, and Huang Li tried his best to move the kettle, but he could only hear someone saying: "Huang Li, don't waste the water you have found so hard. "

Huang Li was woken up from his drowsy state by Wen Zheng, his eyes gradually became clear.

Wen Zheng saw Huang Li's transformation, so he let go of his hand and stuffed the water bottle into Huang Li's hand. Seeing him take a couple of sips cautiously, he reluctantly returned the water bottle to Wen Zheng, trying his best to smile, He thanked Wen Zheng: "Brother, thanks to you for waking me up, I was in a daze just now, if I knock over the kettle, I will regret it to the extreme."

"By the way, this isn't my dream, is it? Wen Zheng, how did you find us, and who else is with you?" After talking about this series, Huang Li thought of an important question, and looked around while asking Look for: "Where is the teacher?"

"Professor Huang is right next to you. He is weaker than you. It will take some time before he wakes up." Wen Zheng comforted him. Seeing Huang Li's anxious look, he helped him to Professor Huang's side. After checking Professor Huang's situation, he sat down with peace of mind, and couldn't help feeling a little more fond of this young man who respects his teacher.

Although both of them are surnamed Huang, Huang Li and Professor Huang are not related. They are Professor Huang's student and assistant for this investigation, and they respect Professor Huang very much on weekdays.The two of them are studying archaeology, and this time they are here to investigate the cultural relics near the oasis.

The original body is different from these two, mainly studying the ecological environment, this time following the teacher to study the desert vegetation and desert animals near the oasis.It’s just that the expedition team was all scattered. Yuan was alone and did not find the teacher Professor Wang, and there was not much water in the kettle he was carrying. After trekking in the desert for a period of time, he fell down in the desert in despair and was replaced by Wen Zheng. Come into this world.

In fact, Wen Zheng knew in the original body's memory that the original body came here with Professor Wang, but there were no other people around the place where the original body fainted, and there was no way to find it. Wen Zheng could only give up the idea of ​​looking for someone. I just hope to meet you on the road in the future.

After confirming Professor Huang's situation, Huang Li leaned on the rock that Wen Zheng brought over with peace of mind, gorging on the juicy cactus in his hand, not paying attention to his image at all, and he didn't look like an expedition team at all.In fact, in the desert, image is really the least important thing.

"Huchihuchi..." Professor Huang also woke up and let out a heavy breathing sound, which alarmed Wen Zheng and Huang Li.Huang Li ran over in a hurry, forgetting to put down the cactus in his hand.

Huang Li and Wen Zheng helped Professor Huang up to sit by the fire, and handed over the jug containing cactus juice.

Without drinking water immediately, Professor Huang sat by the fire, carefully observed the surrounding situation, and found the answers to the questions circling in his head one by one.

I remembered that before I lost consciousness, I had already drank from the water bottle I was carrying. Huang Li gave the last drop of water to this old guy, and fainted on the back of the camel one step earlier than him.Even though the camels carried them to the cactus, the camels would not give water to people. Apparently Wen Zheng met them and took pains to pull them back from hell.

Professor Huang tried to stand up with the help of the stone next to him, but his weak body was swaying. Huang Li, who was sitting next to him, immediately stood up and supported him.

Wen Zheng wanted to help, but Professor Huang slowly moved away.

Standing opposite Wen Zheng, Professor Huang bowed down deeply to thank Wen Zheng with great respect: "Wen Zheng, thank you for saving our lives, I will always remember your kindness in my heart."

Only then did Huang Li realize that he hadn't even thought of this, and he quickly thanked him with the same sincerity: "Wen Zheng, not much else to say, my life was saved by you, and it will be yours from now on. "

"No need, I don't want it, and it's useless." Wen Zheng said pretending to be disgusted.

"Why is it useless? Brother Li is amazing. When I recover tomorrow, I'll catch some snakes for you to eat." Huang Li said heartily, with a look of pride on his face, "I didn't blow it, When I went up to inspect the ancient tombs in the mountains, I caught one thicker than two fingers in the grass..."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Li saw Wen Zheng pull his backpack and dump it on the stone slab. Immediately, entwined snakes and scorpions appeared on the slate. Snake dried.

Looking at those white and tender snake meat, Huang Li swallowed in shock, why didn't he see before that Wen Zheng is so powerful.

But after all, they are not in the same major, because they are not familiar with each other when they are gathered together for this inspection, and it is normal for them not to understand.

Wen Zheng distributed the snake meat and scorpions to Huang Li and Professor Huang, and cactus alone is not enough. These meats can provide a lot of protein and replenish energy in the body.

"I don't know what's going on with the others." After taking a rest for a while, Professor Huang couldn't help sighing, and looked at Wen Zheng and asked with concern, "Wen Zheng, why are you alone, without even a camel?"

The entire expedition team consisted of 15 people and shared [-] camels, five of which were used to carry supplies, but Wen Zheng didn't even have a single camel.

Wen Zheng pulled out a difficult smile, with a little confusion in his eyes, he slightly modified his experience and said, "The sandstorm came too suddenly, and then the camel ran too fast, and I passed out after falling from it. After waking up, I was alone and walked for a few days relying on the little water left in the kettle, but luckily I found this place before the water ran out."

Speaking of sandstorms, Huang Li opened his mouth with some doubts: "How can we be so unlucky that we will encounter sandstorms in this season."

Now that they have decided to come to the desert for inspection, the expedition team will of course take safety into consideration.

Based on previous experience, the expedition team avoided the late spring and early summer when sandstorms are prone to occur, and the winter when the nights are extremely cold, and chose a more suitable autumn to enter the desert.

However, a sandstorm that rarely occurs in autumn appeared, and it was extremely fierce. It not only flooded the rare oasis, but also blew the expedition team to pieces.

Wen Zheng did not participate in this topic, but silently tasted the cactus meat.Although the cactus eaten by them is not poisonous, the taste is not very good. When bitten raw, there is a lot of water but it is a bit bitter.But in this case, some food is good enough, and I am not qualified to be picky.

"Professor Huang, what do you think we should do next?" Wen Zheng asked, if he was the only one, he would continue to leave after resting here for a while, but there are two more people in the team, so we still have to ask others people's opinions.

After thinking for a moment, Professor Huang expressed his thoughts: "Wait. The expedition team lost contact with the sandstorm, and the country will definitely send a rescue team. We just need to wait here for the rescue to arrive."
