Surviving Endless Disasters
Section 237
After receiving the memory, Wen Zheng immediately thought about the current situation.
The most important thing in the desert is to identify the direction of survival. The original owner was dizzy by the sandstorm at that time. Although he survived by chance, he didn't know where he was.
However, even if there is a sandstorm, it will not be too far away from the original place.
According to the topographic map in the original body's memory, going north can reach the plain with a watershed.
The original oasis where they were stationed is unknown in which direction, and it may even be destroyed by the sandstorm.
Although the northern plain is a long way away, it is completely out of danger when you get there.
Wen Zheng determined the direction of survival, to the north! Then Wen Zheng began to check the original body's belongings. He was wearing long sleeves and long pants, covering all parts of his body. Now they were covered with gravel. This kind of clothes can fully dissipate heat from the body and prevent the body from being sunburned.
Wen Zheng reached out and touched it. There was a thick headscarf wrapped around his head, leaving only gaps for his eyes, nose, and mouth.
Even though he couldn't see himself, Wen Zheng could imagine that he looked very much like an Arab or a mummy.
The original body had a thick coat, but he didn't have time to put it on when the sandstorm came, and now it's gone.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, and the temperature can even reach four or five degrees during the day, but the temperature at night will drop below zero. The current clothes are enough to block the sun during the day, but there is no way to keep warm.
The clothes on my body are enough to cope with high temperatures, and I may feel a little cold at night.
I wear thick long socks and shoes suitable for walking in the desert. These are necessary equipment for walking in the desert, which allows Wen Zheng to avoid many possible troubles, such as sand entering the shoes.
The original body also has a backpack that was not lost because it was tied tightly around the waist, and there is a water bottle tied next to it, but the water bottle is empty, not even a drop of water. The backpack was taken down by the original body and placed on the ground, and the things inside were messy.
There were some things in the backpack, a very useful field dagger, a flashlight that could be used to start a fire at certain times, and a booklet that recorded common animals and plants in the desert, with photos of his family.
According to the original body's memory, his parents were still waiting for him at home.
Thinking of Grandpa Wen who was waiting for him in the real world, Wen Zheng had to try to leave the desert and go back just to avoid making the two old men who loved their children sad.
The original body fell to the ground due to dehydration at the hottest time of the day, quietly waiting for life to gradually pass away.
When Wen Zheng arrived, it was the afternoon when the sun was setting. Based on the bright sun hanging in the sky, Wen Zheng successfully identified the direction.
Carry the backpack on your back, tie it tightly to your belt, adjust the direction of the flashlight and pin it outside, so that the outer shell of the flashlight can reflect the sunlight to the distance.
People trapped in the desert will use this method to attract rescue. Wen Zheng did not hold the hope that rescue would come, after all, there was a survival time stipulated by the system, but he still remembered the scientific research team that was separated from the original body.
Maybe there are other people who survived. The light reflected by the flashlight can attract other people. At least in the original body's memory, several experts in the scientific research team are worthy of respect.
The current temperature is still bearable for the time being. Relying on the potion to restore his physical strength, Wen Zheng stood up from the ground and walked towards the north with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
In the desert, the high temperature consumes physical strength and water in the body every moment. Of course, the physical strength restored by the potion should be maximized.
There is a clear difference between walking in the desert and walking normally. The sand is soft. If you are in the park or at the beach, stepping on the beach is an extremely comfortable enjoyment.
But in the desert where you want to survive, the soft and undulating sand is the culprit that consumes your energy the most besides the high temperature.
There is no end in the yellow sand all over the sky. This is an extremely desperate thing, but Wen Zheng, who has experienced three worlds, is firm enough.
Wen Zheng was now surrounded by sand dunes of different heights. Some of the dunes were so high that people had to look up, and some of the dunes seemed only half a meter high. Even so, Wen Zheng did not waste any effort to climb up.
After walking for an unknown period of time, Wen Zheng's pace slowed down slightly, and his eyes and ears were always watching the situation on the ground.
He was very hungry now. In the absence of any plants, he hoped that some animals would appear in front of him and become his food.
But the yellow sand did not move at all, and there was no color on the ground that was not related to the sand.
Wen Zheng was a little disappointed. The physical strength restored by the potion had been consumed after such a long time of walking. If it was not necessary, he did not want to rely on points to overcome these difficulties.
Just as Wen Zheng was ready to continue walking forward, the sand on the sand that was originally smooth and flat had a small rise and fall, as if something was moving under the sand.
Wen Zheng did not dare to make any moves. He carefully took out the dagger from the side pocket of the backpack and observed the movement trajectory of the unknown creature with bated breath.
It moved a little too fast, but fortunately it moved to the side of Wen Zheng's position and was still within Wen Zheng's sight.
Wen Zheng narrowed his eyes. Fortunately, his original body was not nearsighted. Although the strength of this body was not very strong, Wen Zheng's skills made up for this shortcoming.
The reflective field dagger broke through the air, drew a perfect arc, and pierced the moving creature through the sand.
Wen Zheng perfectly predicted the movement trajectory of the creature and won a portion of food for himself.
When he walked to the sand, Wen Zheng held the dagger and gently lifted it. The yellow sand splashed around. A creature with yellow-brown stripes on its back, yellow limbs, and a white belly appeared in front of Wen Zheng.
Wen Zheng, who had made sufficient preparations before coming to this world, recognized this animal.
This is a sand fish, and its scientific name is sand fish lizard.
Sand fish lizard is not a fish, but because it moves in the sand like swimming, it has a name called sand fish. It is actually a kind of lizard and is often kept as a pet.
This creature is diurnal and likes to dig tunnels in the sand dunes during the day. It is very timid and non-aggressive. Although it moves very fast in the desert, it is not difficult for Wen Zheng to catch it.
In the information found in the real world, Wen Zheng saw that there were descriptions of this creature in many documentaries related to the desert.
This animal is best eaten roasted when used as food. Of course, if there is really no other way, it can be eaten raw.
Wen Zheng pinched the tail of the sand fish with his hand and finally smiled.
The first sand fish lizard was in hand, will the second one be far behind? Chapter 124 Reluctantly eating a few raw sand fish lizards that were gutted, the blood in these lizards barely replenished some water and salt for Wen Zheng, allowing him to hold on for a while.
When it was dusk, the temperature of the desert began to drop rapidly, and the slightly cool temperature finally made Wen Zheng feel comfortable.
There was no vegetation in this desert, only sand with extremely low specific heat capacity, which could not absorb and store heat.
It was this characteristic of sand that caused the phenomenon of extremely high temperature during the day and rapid temperature drop at night.
Taking advantage of the low temperature, Wen Zheng continued to speed up his pace and walked northward, and the cultivation method was constantly running in his body.
The cultivation method that had obvious effects in all three worlds had helped Wen Zheng a lot before. However, in this desert, Wen Zheng could only obtain minimal results when he put the cultivation method into practice.
