The environment in the deep desert is basically similar, and it is extremely easy to get lost while walking in it. If you are unfortunately lost in it and someone knows your whereabouts, it is actually the best choice to wait for rescue in place.

As a member of the expedition team, Professor Huang believes that there will be rescue and there is nothing wrong with it.

But Wen Zheng is not someone who is willing to sit and wait for death.

After Professor Huang made his decision to stay and wait, he found that the two students had no words, so he asked, "Wen Zheng, Huang Li, what do you two think?"

"Ah?" Huang Li touched his head, which was covered with a lot of yellow sand, and said his true thoughts carelessly, "Teacher, I understand what you mean, but I always feel a little uneasy waiting for rescue here."

Wen Zheng then expressed his thoughts. Although he didn't say it directly, he obviously didn't want to wait where he was.

"Professor, the lack of water a few days ago was too uncomfortable. The sandstorm has passed for several days, and we don't know where we are now. There are not many cacti here. It is best if the rescue can arrive in time, if not in time Find us, when the cacti are gone it's time for us to die."

There was a disagreement among the three, Wen Zheng wanted to leave, Huang Li agreed with Wen Zheng's idea in his heart, but Professor Huang was an elder or a teacher, if he insisted on staying where he was, at least Huang Li would obey.

After thinking about it for a long time, Professor Huang sighed, looked at Wen Zheng and said, "Wen Zheng, you should know that the oasis we stayed at was far from the border of the desert, and we don't have the slightest idea of ​​the situation ahead."

"I don't want to put my life in someone else's hands."

Professor Huang's eyes were a bit complicated, and he looked at Wen Zheng differently: "I didn't realize it before, you still have a stubborn temper."

After a moment of silence, Professor Huang stood up and said with a smile: "Then before we set off, let's collect the cacti and leave a mark for instructions."

What Wen Zheng said was not unreasonable, and the three of them finally reached an agreed goal.

So, taking advantage of the cool weather at night, Wen Zheng cut the cactus with a dagger in his hand, removed the outer skin and thorns, and put it into a water bottle.

And Huang Li and Professor Huang moved the stones on the ground together. The large and small stones spliced ​​together to form a huge triangle. In addition, they used daggers to draw deep ditches on the side.

The triangular stones are inconspicuous from the ground and are designed to attract the attention of aircraft that might be flying in the air, although the probability of success is very small.

Professor Huang was still thinking about the other members of the lost expedition team, so he didn't take away all the edible cactus parts, and used the stone beside the triangular stone to point out the direction they were going to go, hoping that others could find here.

After the coldest part of the night passed, Wen Zheng extinguished the fire and climbed onto the camel's back.

I finally have a means of transportation and can walk without feet.

"Wen Zheng, you can walk here without a camel and a coat. It's simply amazing." Huang Li said admiringly.

Wen Zheng smiled and didn't answer.

That night they embarked on a long road again. Although they seldom talked in order to reduce water consumption, they knew that they were not alone when they saw someone beside them as they walked forward.

The camel bell rang, and the four desert boats walked silently in the desert, carrying the lost humans in the desert to a place where they could survive.

As one of the few species that can walk in the desert for a long time, camels naturally have a sense of direction when walking in the desert, so that Wen Zheng no longer has to observe the North Star or the sun to prevent going in the wrong direction.

The cool night flies by, the temperature starts to rise gradually, and the sun rises from the horizon into the sky.

Huang Li felt that his condition was quite good, thinking that the effect of those cactus meat was a bit good, while looking at the surrounding situation.

A few sand beetles slowly crawled out from the cracks in the stones on the ground, inserted their heads into the sand, and lifted their bodies high.

This is an insect with a unique method of obtaining water. It often appears after sunrise or sunset. At that time, their body temperature will drop to a very low level, allowing the water mist in the air to contact their bodies to form water droplets, and then Slowly flow into their mouths.

Animals that can live in the desert all have a unique function of targeting water, which makes Huang Li a little envious.

At this time, a sand fish lizard suddenly jumped out from the sand, and swallowed the sand beetles in a few mouthfuls while the sand beetles were defenseless.

Satisfied after eating the sand beetle, the sand fish lizard buried its body in the sand and swam, arching a trace on the flat sand.But after it devoured a few sand beetles again, the snake that had been ambushing beside it jumped up and devoured them.

After watching a scene where lizards were catching insects and poisonous snakes were behind, Huang Li looked away.

Walking in the desert is a long and boring journey, Huang Li can only find some fun for himself and divert his attention from drinking water.

But when he saw the fast-moving viper just now, Huang Li realized that he would never be able to hide from it, so he admired Wen Zheng who was able to catch the snake and dried the meat.

But Wen Zheng, who rode a camel at the front, was thinking about the problem.

The main task of the system is to survive in the desert for three months, so it shouldn't be easy for them to go out, and there may be some troubles.

It is better to be vigilant at all times.

As the hour hits noon, the benefits of owning a camel unfold again.

Riding a camel in the desert is the difference between a desert and an oasis compared to walking on your own feet.After staying on the camel's back for a few ten minutes, Wen Zheng couldn't help but mourn for himself for a few minutes a few days ago, and then felt sorry for the points for purchasing physical potions.

Riding a camel not only saves energy, but it is also much better at noon when the sun is strongest. Lying in the shadow of the camel's body and covering the body with sand, you can take a good nap and refresh your spirits.

Moisture can only be obtained from the cactus stored in the kettle, and it can only be eaten sparingly, but there is not much shortage of food to supplement protein and meat.As long as the animals in the desert are treated well, they are basically edible. Even if you are afraid that poisonous snakes and scorpions will hurt you, there are small beetles that can be used to satisfy your hunger.

Two more days passed like this, and half of the cactus in the kettle was eaten no matter how economical they were, so when Wen Zheng and the others saw the green cactus not far in front of them, they were uncontrollably excited, Huang Li even happily said: Roar out.

But after seeing the appearance of those cacti clearly, Wen Zheng shook his head in disappointment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Those are plants of the Euphorbiaceae family. They look like cactus, but they are actually poisonous and cannot be eaten."

Huang Li, who originally wanted to speed up the camel, looked over disappointed, and said with a little hope: "We are still far away, maybe you can see it."

Professor Huang was more open-minded and thoughtful, and persuaded Huang Li: "Many cacti in the desert are poisonous. We have already encountered edible cactus to save lives. Now we should calm down when we see poisonous and inedible ones. It’s best not to have too much hope in the desert. There are many travelers who get lost in the desert because they found out that they committed suicide in false despair after seeing a mirage. You have to learn to calm your mind.”

"Teacher, I understand." Huang Li answered with lowered head.

The camel still walked at the same speed as before, and when it came to this new cactus, Wen Zheng pointed to these plants and said: "To tell whether a cactus is edible, first look at the color, the color of these cacti is a bit dark, look carefully There is still a layer of hoarfrost. If you see a cactus without thorns, it is not edible. If you really can’t identify it, you can cut off a piece and try it with your tongue. There is no numbness and pain in ten minutes. It can be eaten without any discomfort."

Although these cactus cannot be eaten, they are green at any rate, which can relieve the eyes a lot, and the visual fatigue is caused by watching the same scene every day.

At noon that day, he stopped to rest and avoid the sun as usual. Wen Zheng was fast asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a panicked voice.

Wen Zheng was startled after waking up, sure it wasn't the voice he dreamed about, and immediately got up from the sand pile, looking around, Professor Huang was still sleeping soundly, only Huang Li was nowhere to be seen.

Something happened to Huang Li.

After Wen Zheng realized it, he quickly dared to go to the place where the sound came from, which was behind the nearby sand dunes.

After Wen Zheng ran over in a hurry, he saw Huang Li's legs were sinking in the sand, and his body was still sinking.

Wen Zheng's heart sank, Huang Li fell into quicksand.In history, many desert explorers lost their lives because of quicksand, but many modern scientists have studied this special phenomenon, and this is not a death trap that cannot be avoided.

Seeing Wen Zheng rushing over, Huang Li made a broken voice: "Wen Zheng, you must not come over, you will fall in like me. If it weren't for your help, I would have died of dehydration long ago. I may not survive this time, you help me take good care of the teacher, if you can get out of this desert, tell my parents..."

"Don't worry about telling your last words, you won't die, listen to my command and start moving now." Wen Zheng didn't get close to the quicksand and didn't panic, his composure spread to Huang Li, who made Huang Li change his actions according to his words.
