Quicksand is sand that can flow like a liquid, a natural phenomenon that occurs in deserts with unstable foundations.

There are descriptions of quicksand in many movies, but quicksand is not as scary as the movie describes.

The most important point of falling into the quicksand is not to shake your body hard to struggle, the more you struggle, the faster you will fall into it. Once you fall into the quicksand, you cannot pull it out, let alone a strongman, even if you use a crane to pull it, you will not be able to get out. You can't pull people out, but pull them in half.

The correct approach should be to stop when you first fall into the quicksand, then slowly lie flat on the sand surface, so that it is difficult to fall into the quicksand, and finally roll away from this area.

However, Huang Li has fallen into the quicksand now, and it seems that he doesn't know enough about quicksand, Wen Zheng opened his mouth to point out from a distance: "Keep calm, don't get excited, try to lean your body back, gently turn your feet back and forth, increase the speed of the sand surface contact area."

Huang Li listened carefully to Wen Zheng's words. Professor Huang, who was sleeping, also heard the sound and came to cheer. Slowly, Huang Li's body began to float out of the sand.

Wen Zheng quickly reminded again: "Don't stand up after surfacing, slowly crawl or roll away from there, and be sure to keep the contact area with the sand."

Finally got out of the quicksand to a safe place.

Wen Zheng and Professor Huang stretched out their hands to pull up Huang Li, who was covered in sand, and gently patted the sand off his body.

Huang Li, who was able to suppress his fear just now when he was trapped in the yellow sand, and pretended to be calm to confess his last words, suddenly lost control of his emotions after escaping from death. Tears emerged from his dry eyes. Huang Li, who had just stood up, suddenly squatted down and cried loudly.

The cries are filled with the pain of these days and the despair for the uncertain future.

Professor Huang heard the sad cry, and mist also appeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to pat Huang Li's shoulder with his hand to comfort him, he heard Wen Zheng's voice.

"Don't cry, don't you think there is not enough water in your body?"

The crying stopped abruptly.

Huang Li squatted on the spot in a daze, with a wry smile on his face, he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't even speak, he didn't even have the right to cry now.

Wen Zheng helped Professor Huang walk to the place where the camel stayed expressionlessly, and only said: "Tears are the most useless in disasters, and they will also affect the emotions of other companions."

Urine can also be recycled and reused, and tears can be evaporated by high temperature as soon as they leave the eye sockets.

No, it was absorbed by the turban wrapped around the face before it evaporated.

Huang Li tightly wrapped his loose turban tightly to protect his face flushed from the sun, and quickened his pace to follow.

After tossing and turning in the quicksand for a while, it was almost dusk, and the camel stayed where it was obediently.

People trapped in quicksand may still be able to control their emotions and escape, but animals do not have this ability.Animals such as camels trapped in quicksand will not understand people's comfort, and will only struggle desperately because their bodies are trapped, causing them to sink deeper and deeper, and even bring people in.

So in order to avoid the hard-to-find means of transportation from falling into the quicksand, Wen Zheng and the others hurriedly led the baby camel away from the quicksand.

When the sun was about to dip below the horizon, they stopped for a short rest.

Professor Huang stayed by the camel and made some marks with stones on the ground, hoping that the rest of the expedition team would follow the marks and find them.

Wen Zheng left first with a dagger, and Huang Li quickly followed.

Wen Zheng turned around in a bit of depression and wondered, "Why are you following me?" It all hindered him from catching food.

Huang Li, who followed closely behind Wen Zheng, was taken aback by Wen Zheng's sudden question, scratched his hair and said to Wen Zheng in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't cry suddenly today."

Just because of this?

Wen Zheng didn't take it seriously at first, that is, he spoke a little harshly at the time, which was a habit brought about by being a teacher in his previous life, so he waved his hand and said, "It's normal to have a sudden emotional breakdown in the desert. It’s pretty good, but my tone of voice in the afternoon was also a bit off.”

Huang Li heard that Zheng didn't blame him, and finally stopped being sullen, and then showed a flattering smile, and said to Wen Zheng: "Brother Wen, can you teach me how to use this dagger, let alone a snake, I can't even touch a scorpion!" Can't catch it."

If you look carefully, Huang Li is a few months older than Wen Zheng, but Huang Li himself thinks that age is nothing, the most important ability.

Wen Zheng is so capable, he should be called brother.

"Want to learn?" When Wen Zheng spoke, the dagger in his hand accurately pierced a snake that had just emerged.

Huang Li's eyes were almost shining, and the field dagger could only function as a kitchen knife in his hand.

This field dagger was equipped when they came to the desert. It was also worried that the members of the expedition team would be injured by animals, and it would also be used by the biology team to cut plants and take specimens.

Wen Zheng has been a teacher for decades in the last world, and now it is no problem to accept another student. When he is caught in quicksand, he can remind others not to approach him. There is absolutely no problem with his character.

"Melee combat is different from long-distance throwing. These snakes are not suitable for close-range attacks, so you must first learn to find the seven inches of the snake, and then make sure that the dagger can hit accurately. The first is the posture of holding the dagger. ..." Wen Zheng directly explained the main points of using the dagger.

With decades of teaching experience, Wen Zheng is now able to teach Huang Li with ease, using various skills at his fingertips, and demonstrates while speaking.

When the dry food for the three of them had been settled for two days, Huang Li finally succeeded once.Although there is a certain chance, it is finally enlightened.

In fact, there is no need to eat too much food in the desert. In the case of camels, as long as the basic consumption of the body can be maintained, eating too much will increase the body's demand for water.

The sky gradually brightened, the warm yellow sun slowly climbed up from the horizon, and the sky was dyed with a touch of color.

Such a beautiful scenery, but no one has the heart to appreciate it. For them, the early morning represents a new day, and a strong time will make them lose a lot of water.

Although Wen Zheng quietly added a few sips of stamina recovery medicine to the water bottle of the three of them, and although they reduced the water as much as possible, the cactus juice in the water bottle was still about to be used up.

Wen Zheng sat on a tall camel, looking down from the heights, he still saw the long stretch of yellow sand, with no trace of water at all.

It is estimated that the camel will slow down and fall behind. Wen Zheng looked at Huang Li and Professor Huang who were lying on the camel, and exchanged a new stamina potion from the system, quietly poured it into the kettle, and mixed it with a little cactus juice inside. together.

Focusing on the extra camel, Wen Zheng made up his mind that if he still couldn't find the water source tomorrow morning, he would kill the camel to get water.

Just as Wen Zheng was thinking, Huang Li, who was lying on the camel, suddenly straightened up, pointed his finger forward and called weakly: "Brother Wen...Professor...Look, there is a forest in front of you."

Both Wen Zheng and Professor Huang were startled, and hurriedly looked into the distance.

"I'm too excited again, this is a mirage." After shouting excitedly, Huang Licai clearly saw that something was wrong, and showed a wry smile.

There is a green forest in the distance. At first glance, one can think that there must be a sweet water source under the forest. But if you look closely, you can see the tall buildings in the forest. It is a Typical European-style buildings, the tall spiers are particularly eye-catching.

There is still some possibility of an oasis in the desert, but such a European-style building is impossible, and no one will spend a lot of time to build a house here.

It could only be a mirage.

Mirage is a natural phenomenon that often occurs in deserts. It is formed due to the refraction and total reflection of light.

In fact, mirages are very common. Sometimes driving on the asphalt road in summer, because the dark asphalt road has a better ability to absorb light, you can see mirages. The most common thing is to see water on the ground from a distance, but when you approach it It's very dry inside.

Due to the scorching sun in the desert, the air has a different refractive index, reflecting distant light into it.

"It seems that we are lucky." Professor Huang said, staring at the mirage in the distance.

"What's wrong?" Huang Li complained in a hoarse voice, "Even a mirage can't show us an oasis and make us happy."

Professor Huang shook his head: "If we see a false oasis, even if we recognize it as a mirage, we can't help but go to check the situation, and in the end it's just a waste of effort."

After hearing these words, Huang Li became depressed again, he was still not as good as the professor and Brother Wen.

Touching the kettle hanging on the camel, Huang Li opened it carefully, pointed it at his mouth and started pouring it with his head up.

After a while, a few small drops of water entered his mouth, and the last bit of cactus scum was chewed by Huang Li as if he was eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Professor, Huang Li, I still have some water in this kettle, let me pour some for you." Wen Zheng said.

"That's not acceptable." Professor Huang waved his hands hastily in surprise, but Huang Li also quickly refused.

Until Wen Zheng pointed to the spare camel that no one was riding, and said: "If you still haven't found a new water source by tomorrow morning, kill it."

In this way, Professor Huang and Huang Li accepted the water poured by Wen Zheng, and only took a sip when they couldn't bear the hunger and thirst.

With this little water, the three of them persisted for a day and a night again.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky and the earth gradually brightened. The camel was completely unaware of the imminent danger, and was still shaking the copper bell tied around its neck, walking forward unhurriedly.

Wen Zheng originally planned to deal with the camel before the temperature rose, but he heard the murmur of Huang Li, who was already unconscious. "There's a mirage again, this time it's an oasis, but I won't be fooled."

After the double blow of poisonous cactus and mirage, Huang Li has now learned to be as steady as his teacher and Brother Wen.

The oasis appeared in front of you, it must be a mirage, you can't waste your energy running over there!

But Wen Zheng, who heard these words, raised a little expectation.

One of the conditions for the formation of mirages is high temperature, which often appears at the hottest time of noon. Now it is the early morning when the sun has not fully risen, how can mirages appear?

Wen Zheng raised his head and looked forward, his heart beating violently.

"That could be a real oasis!"
