After hovering over the canyon for a few days, the vultures swooped down and pecked at the monitor lizard's flesh with their sharp beaks.The corpses of the dead monitor lizards were placed in place, covered with ants, and before they were completely devoured, they encountered the cold winter air and were covered by swirling snowflakes.

In the early morning, it was another ordinary day living in the canyon. Wen Zheng woke up first, tightened the fur covering his body, and added a piece of camel dung to the fire that was about to go out. Camel dung contains a lot of plant fibers. After drying, it burns for a longer time than dead wood, etc.

The fire that was about to be extinguished became violent again. Wen Zheng lifted the wooden fence standing at the entrance of the cave, and the cold wind blew into the cave. Huang Li and Hou Rui, who had been huddled together unconsciously at night, shrank their bodies, Get closer.

In the next second, Wen Zheng sat at the entrance of the cave to block the cold wind.After one night, the entire canyon was covered with thin snowflakes. The extremely low temperature prevented the snowflakes from melting, forming an extremely rare snow scene in the desert, which shocked the people who saw it.

Populus euphratica trees with strong vitality in the desert have snow-white and crystal-clear snowflakes on the branches, turning into a very beautiful rime scene.Tall cacti, white hats on their heads, and crystal clear ice edges hanging on some protruding rocks, just looking at these scenes doesn't look like being in a desert at all.

Holding the strong nylon rope in his hand, Wen Zheng slid from the cave to the ground.I don’t know how Hou Rui found this cave. It’s big enough for the four of them to squeeze together, but it’s stable enough to be cleaned by Hou Rui. Dead branches and feces are burned every day, and the smell is not bad.

Putting the water bottle and water bag he was carrying on the camel, Wen Zheng led the camel to the direction of the water source.The source of the stream in the canyon is not far from the cave. It is a spring gushing from the ground. The spring water flows down from east to west, gradually forming a thin stream, nourishing the surrounding land and vegetation.

The fennec foxes who had been hopping around in the bushes poked their heads out vigilantly when they heard the noise, and found that it was the terrifying two-legged beast, and immediately hid in the cave quickly.

Since the Twolegs entered the canyon, their large family has lost several members.

The fennec fox will hunt gerbils, insects and other animals in order to survive, and Wen Zheng and the others also want to survive to catch the fennec fox. As for the sand dune cat, because it is a loner, only one of them has been seen so far, but it has escaped. robbery.

The captured fennec foxes became cold-proof clothes for Wen Zheng and others, and the surplus was made into water bags.

The stream in the canyon is running water. Wen Zheng led the camels to a place downstream to drink water, and he himself filled the water-holding tools at the source.The water was filtered through the stones, and it looked relatively clear, but there were many feces left by animals around.

In such a situation where it is difficult to find water sources, Wen Zheng and others certainly don't mind this, but under certain conditions, the retrieved stream water will be simply heated and sterilized before drinking.

"Brother Wen, why didn't you ask me to get up to help you, and left you busy all by yourself." Huang Li stood in the cave, pulling the nylon rope tied with the water bag up.

"You're still being so polite with me." Wen Zheng said with a smile. Having lived and died together for such a long time, the relationship between them has long since ceased to use such polite words.

After Wen Zheng entered the cave, Huang Li rubbed his face that had been frozen by the wind for a while.Professor Huang and Hou Rui are preparing today's breakfast. On the fire is a deformed pot with a military shovel, which is boiling thick broth. I have to say that the military shovel can really be called a universal artifact. Can come in handy many times.

After drinking the broth that didn't taste particularly good but could warm the body and replenish energy, the four people in the cave began to get busy, heating and disinfecting the water brought back by Wen Zheng, and then putting it into a kettle or animal skin water bag inside.

After a busy day, in the early morning of the second day, a group of four people rode camels to leave the canyon still surrounded by snow.

Go up from the canyon until you reach the ground level.Another small snowflake had fallen the night before, and the snow had not yet melted.

Looking around, white snow is piled up on the vast and thick yellow sand, the sky is still so blue, and the sky is dyed a light orange red by the rising sun, and the camels line up slowly in the desert, forming a picture together. A beautiful scroll.

Before the sun rose overhead, the rapidly rising temperature had already melted the snow and ice, turning them into puddles with a very short lifespan on the sand surface, slowly seeping into the sand or being evaporated by the sun.

Wen Zheng and the others could only take off their thick fur coats, facing the sand blown up by the breeze, they dared to go far away.

The most important resource in the desert is drinking water. When Wen Zheng and others have enough drinking water, the road ahead will not be a problem.

Walking in the desert, he couldn't remember the days clearly. Wen Zheng even looked at the system panel, and there were only a few days left in the three months.

The rest of the journey did not encounter the above dangers again. With the last two days left, Wen Zheng and others came to the former semi-desert area. There were dots of green plants on the ground. Compared with the memory of the original body, this The area is even more desolate than it was a few months ago.

When they saw the artificially built buildings, everyone was a little excited and rushed over at a faster speed.

The area where this small town is located was originally far away from the desert. This is due to the increasing desertification of the land and the expansion of the desert.

Wen Zheng and the others came to this small town with dusty faces, but they didn't see any other pedestrians around them, making them look extraordinarily desolate.

[The main task - three months of survival in the desert has been completed, and the reward points are 5000 points. 】

[The player can continue to stay in the current world, do you want to stay? 】

Yes, Wen Zheng silently chose to stay.

"It was quite lively when we entered the desert, why are there no people now?" Huang Li sighed in surprise, sitting on the camel and looking around, trying to find a few figures.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look." Professor Huang said while looking ahead.

The camel's feet finally stepped on the solid concrete floor. There are flower beds with green plants on both sides of the road, but these green plants seem to have not drank water for a long time. They look a little wilted, and the leaves are a little yellow and dry.

There is thick dust on the ground, the doors and windows of the buildings on both sides of the road are closed, and the whole town is dusty.

Walk a few more steps into the town, and you will see pedestrians in turbans or straw hats walking hurriedly, holding water containers in their hands, and rushing in two directions.

Hearing the movement, these people looked towards Wen Zheng's direction. When they saw the camel they were riding, their eyes were full of doubts, and they even started talking in low voices.

"They're all looking at us." Huang Li muttered in a low voice, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Wen Zheng looked at the appearance of these local residents, and decided: "Let's speed up and go to the town government."

There are still many staff members in the town government. Seeing them coming over, they asked a few questions in doubt. When they heard that they were members of the expedition team that disappeared in the desert, and members of the search and rescue team who were looking for the expedition team but encountered a sandstorm, their faces were full of surprises. You didn't hide your astonishment at all, and your eyes showed that you were still alive.

Yes, there was no news for three months, and everyone thought they died in the desert.

The staff who inquired about the news quickly arranged the camels and took Wen Zheng and the others to find the mayor.

The mayor had already received the news, and stood at the door waiting for Professor Huang and the others to arrive.

After some concern, Professor Huang briefly described his experience in the desert. After hearing this, the mayor repeatedly lamented their good luck. When Professor Huang asked why the town was in such decline, the mayor showed a sad face.

"During this period of time, there were two sandstorms, and the groundwater level gradually decreased. Now there is only one well in the center of the town and one on the east side that can pump water out. And the water level of these two wells is also decreasing. It’s just relatively slow, and now we are organizing the evacuation of residents in the town, and each person who has not evacuated can only fetch one bucket of water per day.” The mayor looked out the window, feeling extremely depressed.

This is the hometown where many residents have lived for generations. This is the place where he has worked hard for decades. After so many years of hard work, he still failed to achieve results. Instead, he was completely destroyed by several sandstorms.

The gradual disappearance of the water source means that this place is no longer suitable for human habitation. The residents of the town are being evacuated in batches, and tomorrow is the time for the next batch of residents to evacuate.

Living in a place arranged by the town government, this is the first time after so many days, Wen Zheng and others entered the comfortable modern room again, but because of the lack of water in the town, they still couldn't take a good bath, and only used the water bag With the remaining water, simply scrub the body after dry rubbing.

After running around in the desert for three months, I feel that my whole body has become extraordinarily rough.It was a little uncomfortable to lie on the soft bed for the first time, especially for Huang Li, who turned left and right several times, but after not turning for a long time, he slowly calmed down.

The spirit of being tense for a long time in the desert finally relaxed, and everyone had a rare and peaceful sleep. When they woke up, they could only see the brilliant afterglow covering the distant sky.

"So it wasn't a dream. We finally came out of the desert." Huang Li looked out the window with a slanted face, his eyes were a little dazed.

Hou Rui lay on the bed next to him without speaking. He survived, but his teammates all died in the desert.

Professor Huang was also a little depressed. When he first arrived at the town government, he asked that there was no good news about other expeditions leaving the desert alive, and there were no traces of other people walking on the road. I am afraid that the others are in danger.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the house was getting low, Wen Zheng was the first to stand up from the bed, and said something that would definitely liven up the atmosphere: "I'm hungry, let's go to the cafeteria to see what food is available?"

"Oh, I can finally eat normal food." Huang Li howled like a wolf, jumped off the bed excitedly, and couldn't wait to taste the food in the cafeteria.

Although the water that can be used every day is relatively small, it is still enough for cooking. The main reason is that I finally have the staple food and the dishes made with various seasonings. When Huang Li ate it in his mouth, he was moved to tears. down.

After resting here for one night, Wen Zheng and others followed the evacuated local residents to other cities early the next morning.
