Chapter 198
"Where are the others! Xiaoxuan, have you seen the others!"
She shook her hair and said in shock: "I didn't see it, it's so big here, we must have gotten separated..."
After several searches, although I don’t want to admit it, what Miss Zhao said is the truth. We are indeed out of touch with the team.
At this time, I couldn't be more chaotic. After forcing myself to calm down, I figured it out. The sandstorm just now should have lasted for more than an hour. I calculated it as 90 minutes based on one and a half hours. If we move one meter in about five seconds, it will be about 10 meters in one minute. Calculated, when we are not sure of the direction, we have deviated from at least half a mile. This is already looking in a good direction, and the actual situation may be more.
There is no one else in sight at the moment, but I know one thing. In this situation, if we can't find anyone else at the first time, there is a high probability that we will go further and further away from each other.
After losing contact with the camel team, Miss Zhao was a little panicked, even a little scared. She grabbed my arm and asked: "What should I do Yunfeng? Our things are all tied up on the camels."
"Don't panic, I'm thinking of a solution."
I frowned and thought of several ways, but in the end I rejected them. Some ways were unconditional, and some might not work at all. For example, I wanted to use a beacon to signal for help, but there was nothing to burn around.
"Let's go," I gritted my teeth and said, "It's a dead horse. It's unrealistic to keep it here waiting for them to find it. Only by moving can you have a greater chance of seeing the camel team. How is your health? Let me see how you look. not too good."
Miss Zhao's lips were chapped at the moment, and she said feebly: "Yunfeng, I feel weak. It would be better if I could drink some water."
"water......"
"Yeah," I licked my lips. I didn't feel wet, just a little painful.
"Give me your hand, we can't just sit there and wait for death. If this continues, we will both become dehydrated, and it will be too late to find her head by then." I pulled her up and walked westward. We're going to find water.
It's not easy to find drinkable water in a place like this. The reason why we decided to go west was because the terrain here is similar, with no ups and downs.
Before we entered Alxa, Lao Zhang spent half a day training us, mainly imparting some of his experience verbally. Among them is the most important one, how to find drinkable water in the desert.
Water is the source of life, and only those who have water can survive. I listened quite seriously at that time and memorized a few methods.
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 out the gray grass and dig down along the roots of the grass. If the more you dig, the wetter it becomes, then the underground There is a good chance of digging for water.
Also, pay attention to the sky in the evening and morning. If you see several birds flying overhead, you can track their movements. If you are lucky, there may be a water source below the flock of birds.
Then look for dry beds. If you find dry beds, you can dig in the dark places at the bends of dry rivers. If you dig out moist sand after digging a few times, there may be a small amount of fresh water underneath.
After deciding on the plan, I took Zhao Xuanxuan and started looking for water.
I stopped wherever I saw the ashweed growing. I had no luck. I tried digging several times but couldn't find anything. At most, there was only a little damp sand under the ashweed, which was not enough for people to drink. of water.
We tried to follow the flock of birds again, but the further we walked, the more disappointed and tired we became. She was a girl after all, and in the end she couldn't walk anymore.
"I...I can't survive. We are probably going to die here."
"Don't say such depressing words, there is another way," I gritted my teeth.
"What can I do? I really can't walk."
I looked around and pointed at myself helplessly.
"We drink our own."
