Lao Zhang had a wooden stick tied to the camel. The stick was used to poke the sand before leaving. You can know if you can step on that place.

He got off the camel and took off the stick, and asked everyone to walk carefully.

Desert marching ants are social animals. Like the red fire ants, the ant nest will form a large bag on the ground. The attack of the marching ants is not as aggressive as the red fire ants, but the harm and rare nature are higher than that of the red fire ants, because

Marching ants are only found in the desert.

"Stop!" Lao Zhang suddenly waved his hand.

He pointed the stick forward and let us see.

I saw a large bag bulging on the sand less than three meters away from the camel caravan in front, and occasionally a few black ants were drilling in and out around the bulging sandbags.

Lao Zhang pointed at the stick and said, "Look, it's the old nest of marching ants. There are not many now, but the space below is very large. If a person accidentally stepped on it, how many tens of thousands of ants would pull people in minutes.

Bite to death.”

Douyazi swallowed and said, "Damn, this ant nest is even more powerful than a hornet nest, so we have to be careful."

Qin Xingping echoed: "Everyone is careful, take the camel and walk away, don't step on it."

We led the camel and carefully walked around the marching ant nest. We raised our heads and looked ahead and said, "Why do I feel the wind is getting stronger and stronger?"

Lao Zhang reached out and felt the intensity of the wind, and suddenly his face changed: "The wind level is close to level 7, and there are three conditions for sandstorms to form, strong wind, sand, and no wind barrier. Once the wind level rises to level 9, it will be dangerous.

.”

．

The group accelerated a little more.

While paying attention to the ant nests that may appear at any time, we had to speed up. Yesterday, we finished drinking water. Everyone was dry and panting. Although they were wearing veils, I always felt like my throat was in my throat.

The sand is very uncomfortable.

"No more! There is not enough time! I can't get out!" Lao Zhang suddenly shouted.

There are unexpected storms in the sky, so we rushed forward but still didn't. At this moment, the strong wind mixed with the yellow sand blowing in the sky made people unable to move.

"Everyone stays in place and doesn't move! The sandstorm is coming!"

He quickly took out a small whistle and blew it. When the camel heard the whistle, he crawled down and knelt down.

Lao Zhang shouted anxiously: "Low your head! Grab the camel! Hold on!"

"Ya Zai! Yunfeng! Where are you?" I heard the shouting of my head but couldn't see others because I couldn't open my eyes anymore. If I didn't catch the camel, I felt that everyone would be blown away!

"No! The wind is too strong! I can't catch it anymore!" I suddenly heard Zhao Xuanxuan's cry for help coming from behind me.

With a little sound, I crawled over and grabbed her arm.

"Stand it! I've caught you!"

I couldn't see Zhao Xuanxuan at all, so I could only pull her to crawl on the ground and move forward constantly. As long as we stopped, the strong wind and sand completely covered up the person in a few minutes!

It feels like after a long time, the wind is getting smaller and smaller.

I shook my body hard and got up from the ground with difficulty. I looked around and saw that the yellow sand was everywhere, my head was gone, and Lao Zhang Douya and the others could not see it, which made me even more scared. I didn't see mine.

camel!

My throat was so dry that it was smoking. I suppressed the discomfort and shouted loudly.

"Yun Peak." Less than five meters behind me, I heard Miss Zhao's echo.

Her lower legs were buried in the sand, and I ran over and pulled him out with difficulty.

"Where are other people! Xiaoxuan, have you seen other people?"

She shook her hair and said in a panic: "I didn't see it. It's so big here, we must be separated."

After searching for several times, although I didn't want to admit it, Miss Zhao was talking about the facts, and we were indeed out of touch with the team.

The more you are at this time, the more you cannot be confused. After forcibly calming yourself down, I calculated. The sandstorm just now should have lasted for more than an hour, and I calculated it for an hour and a half to 90 minutes. If you move one meter in about five seconds, one minute will be

About 10 meters, we have deviated at least half a mile away from the uncertain direction. This is already in the good direction, and there may be more actual situations.

There is no other person at the moment. I know one thing. If you can’t find other people at the first time in this situation, you will likely go further and further away from each other.

Miss Zhao was a little panicked and even said she was a little scared. She grabbed my arm and asked, "What should I do? Yunfeng, we are all tied to the camel."

"Don't panic, am I trying to figure out a solution?"

I frowned and thought of a few ways, but in the end I rejected it. Some methods were not qualified, while others might not work at all. For example, I wanted to use a beacon tower to send a signal to ask for help, but nothing can burn around me.

thing.

"Let's go," I gritted my teeth and said, "It's not realistic to stay here for them to find them. Only when you move can you have a greater chance of seeing the camel caravan. How are you doing? I see your complexion.

Not very good.”

Miss Zhao's lips were chapped at this moment and she said weakly: "Yunfeng, I don't feel strong enough. It would be great if I could drink a sip of water."

"water"

"Yes," I licked my lips, not feeling wet, just a little pain.

"Give me your hand, you can't just sit there and wait for death. If this continues, we will have to be dehydrated. It will be too late to find us at that time," I pulled her up and walked westward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. We are going to find water.

It is not easy to find water that people can drink in such a place. The reason why I decided to go west was confused. The terrain here is similar, without any ups and downs.

Before we entered Alxa, Lao Zhang spent half a day to help us with training, mainly by telling us verbally to teach some of his experiences. The most important one is how to find water that can be drunk in the desert.

Water is the fate of life, and only those with water can survive. At that time, I listened seriously and remembered several ways.

Lao Zhang said that if you see gray grass (a kind of gray grass) and moss in the desert, it means that the place is relatively humid. Pull the gray grass and dig down the grass roots. If the dig becomes wet the more wet it, then underground

It is very likely that the water will be dug.

Also pay attention to the sky in the evening and in the morning. If you see several birds flying by, you can track their tracks. If you are lucky, there may be a source of water below the bird flock.

Then find a dry bed. If you find a dry bed, you can dig in the darkness of the bend of the dry river. If you dig a few times, you will find wet sand, and there may be a small amount of fresh water below.

After confirming the plan, I took Zhao Xuanxuan and started looking for water.

I stopped when I saw a gray grass growing. I was not lucky. I tried to dig several times in a row, but I didn't find anything. There was only a little wet sand under the gray grass, and no one could drink it at all.

water.

We tried to follow the birds again, but the more we walked, we became more and more disappointed and tired. After all, she was a girl and could no longer walk.

"I can't do it anymore, we're probably going to die here."

"Don't say something discouraged, there is another way," I gritted my teeth.

"What's the solution? I really can't walk."

I looked around and pointed at myself helplessly.
Chapter completed!
