Zhong Yu stopped to rest for the night.
At night, he was not idle, trying to find underground water under a small patch of desert plants.
Unfortunately, he could not find underground water, but early the next morning, he got a drop of dew.
It turned out that Zhong Yu dug a hole more than one meter under another desert plant.
The bunker is not entirely dry sand, but slightly moist.
He then used a dagger to cut open a water bag that had been drained of water, spread it at the bottom of the pit, and then hung the dagger and some plant leaves above the water bag.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, and the water vapor in the air condenses into dew due to cold late at night. The daggers and plant leaves gather the dew in the air together, and then drips into the water bladder below.
This is one of the ways to get water in the desert, but there are prerequisites.
That is, the air has a certain humidity, which is not feasible in a very dry desert.
Zhong Yu was able to succeed because there are plants growing in the desert here, which means that the air is not so dry that there is no moisture.
After drinking dew, eating dry food, and recovering most of his strength, Zhong Yu continued on his way.
For the rest of the night, Zhong Yu stopped to rest.
He had to stop, his water bladder was low and he had to collect dew to drink in the second half of the night.
He didn't plan to look around for water. He might not find it, which would waste time and energy and make people anxious.
Therefore, it is better to set a goal and keep moving forward firmly.
On the seventh day, around ten o'clock in the morning, Zhong Yu stood on the top of a large sand dune and saw patches of green vegetation in the distance.
We are almost out of the desert!
Zhong Yu was overjoyed, drank the last of the water and dry food, and then moved forward in a straight line.
Two hours later, Zhong Yu was surrounded by three people.
"If you don't want to suffer any physical pain, just send out a signal for help yourself." One of the people said coldly.
The other two people also stared at Zhong Yu with evil eyes.
Zhong Yu immediately understood what was going on. These three people must have landed at a better place. They got here first.
However, they are not in a hurry to reach their destination. Instead, they set up an ambush here and clear out the people behind them to reduce competition.
Zhong Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense and pounced directly on one of them.
Even after seven days of trekking in the desert, Zhong Yu's strength is still far beyond that of a normal person, not to mention that he has ten times the thinking and reflexes.
A minute later, the three people were knocked down by Zhong Yu. Then Zhong Yu ignored their begging and personally sent out a signal for help for them.
Finally, Zhong Yu moved on.
Three hours later, Zhong Yu arrived at his destination and passed the desert survival selection.
Zhang Hongying took a personal look at Zhong Yu and found that Zhong Yu still had plenty of energy, was in good spirits, and had bright eyes. He didn't look like he had walked in the desert for seven days and six nights.
Back in the office, Zhang Hongying took out Zhong Yu's selection score sheet and gave Zhong Yu an extra twenty points.
The desert survival option had a relatively high elimination rate, with only thirty-seven people passing in the end.
After returning to the military camp to rest for three days, the selection continued.
After layers of screening, the selection was finally completed a month later.
With his amazing physical fitness, incomparable tenacity, extraordinary IQ and amazing adaptability, Zhong Yu was awarded the special recruitment of the military region with the first overall score.
You know, his starting score is 50 points or even 60 points lower than others!
Zhang Hongying was completely convinced by Zhong Yu and could only lament that some people are really geniuses, even in different fields.
When writing comments about Zhong Yu's selection, Zhang Hongying was generous with her praise.
After reading Zhong Yu's report on the selection process, a chief called Jiang Shiyu: "Brother Jiang, your nephew was selected through special recruitment. His performance is very good, he is a good prospect!"
On the phone, Jiang Shiyu laughed: "Can my nephew be any worse? He must be excellent, top notch! If not for the purpose of avoiding suspicion, I would not be willing to send him to your Northwest Military Region."
Jiang Shiyu was very happy. Zhong Yu's uprightness and strict special selection made him proud. It was even more rare to be praised by the chief.
The chief smiled and said: "He is your nephew, not your son. Why are you so proud?"
"Can't I raise him as my son?" Jiang Shiyu said, "I don't ask for any extra care. I just hope that Zhong Yu will get the same opportunity."
"Don't worry, I promise to treat Zhong Yu fairly. As long as he is capable, I will give him a chance."
"Haha, thank you. I will give you three large bottles of wine next time we meet!"
