Shao Zheng was considered an experienced explorer, wearing light outdoor gear and carrying a large backpack filled with water and food. He navigates skillfully with a compass and map. The goal is to explore the desert's unique landscapes and wildlife.
Feiyan carries a professional camera and a telephoto lens on her back. Ability to move faster and capture the beauty of the desert. The goal was to photograph the desert's unique dunes and vegetation.
As a researcher, Xu Jingsi carries an instrument bag and a thick notebook on his back. Prepare for field sampling and research. The goal is to collect soil and plant samples from the desert to study the adaptability and biodiversity of desert ecosystems.
Challenges they face include high temperatures, lack of water and difficult navigation, as well as the possibility of encountering wild snakes.
But they believe they can overcome difficulties and successfully complete the task.
They first took an off-road vehicle into the desert. When you reach the designated location, you will switch to walking.
This off-road vehicle is a vehicle specifically designed to travel in desert terrain. It has a powerful power system, equipped with high-performance engines and powerful drive systems, allowing them to travel quickly in the desert and across various terrains.
To cope with the bumps and uneven terrain in the desert, off-road vehicles have high ground clearance. This allows them to easily pass through dunes, sand pits and desert sand without getting stuck or stuck. Equipped with wide, grippy tires to increase traction and stability in the desert. These tires are also resistant to wear and heat.
Since the sand and dust in the desert can cause damage to the vehicle, the vehicle is specially designed to prevent sand and dust from entering the interior of the vehicle. This includes sealed bodywork and air intake systems, as well as shields and fenders, among others.
After walking a long way, I heard a loud hissing sound in the distance.
In the desert, there is a huge python, the Sand City Snake, which usually lives in the depths of the desert. Its body length can reach an astonishing 20 meters, and some are even longer.
The Sand City Snake has a strong body and thick muscles, and its skin shows the color of the desert, helping it better blend into the environment. Its head is like a protruding stone in front of a mountain peak, with sharp teeth and keen eyes, allowing it to accurately capture prey.
Feeding on small mammals and reptiles in the desert, it stalks its prey silently, then quickly seizes and entangles them. Its power is so amazing that once it entangles its prey, there is almost no chance of escape.
It is an apex predator in the desert, but they are not common. They often choose to establish their territories deep in the desert, far away from human activities. Therefore, encounters are very rare.
Suddenly, a louder roar came from the depths of the desert, making their hearts beat faster. They looked back and were surprised to see a wild snake chasing them. The python's body is tens of meters long, with some of its scales flashing green, and its eyes revealing ferocity and hunger.
Xu Jingsi said: "What should we do now? Drive faster."
Shao Zheng said: "It is quite sensitive to sound. This car is quite loud."
Feiyan said: "Then we can't stop here and wait. This is not an option."
Shao Zheng said: "Are there any infrasonic instruments or something like that?"
Feiyan said: "How can we have that thing?"
A man quickly appeared from the left and blocked the off-road vehicle with his body. The wheels were lifted slightly, and the two drive wheels were still on the ground. Shao Zheng turned the steering wheel and drove to the right, and the wheels touched the ground. Shao Zheng walked around behind the sand dune. The wild snake raised its head, stretched out the dune, and looked down.
Shao Zheng turned the steering wheel fiercely and rushed along the gap in the middle of the dune.
Xu Jingsi took out a pack of dried meat and threw it at the wild snake.
Shao Zheng said: "It's so big, it's not big enough to fit between its teeth."
Xu Jingsi said: "It can smell it."
He took out another bag and threw it in one direction.
Shao Zheng said: "Let's go in the other direction."
The wild snake looked at the package of dried meat flying in the air, smelled it, and then looked at the dried meat on the ground on the other side.
The sun shone hotly on their faces. Their off-road vehicles were speeding among the dunes, their tires splashing patches of yellow dust on the sand and gravel.
At this time, the back of a wild snake appeared next to the car.
Shao Zheng said: "Here's another one. There's not that much dried meat now."
The tail of the wild snake stretched out from behind and slapped the rear of the off-road vehicle.
Several people felt pushed a few meters forward. The car was going faster and the snake's tail couldn't be swung.
Shao Zheng held the steering wheel tightly and accelerated without hesitation. Xu Jingsi stood on the roof of the car and took out the airflow gun to prepare for any emergencies. The bullets of the airflow gun are compressed gases that explode when hitting the target. The high-pressure gas can injure the target.
The wild snake approached quickly from the side. Its huge body swam in the desert, making a blood-curdling hissing sound. Shao Zheng skillfully controlled the off-road vehicle and nimbly shuttled between the sand dunes, trying to get rid of this terrifying pursuer.
Feiyan looked at the rearview mirror nervously, her heartbeat seemed to be shaking out of her chest. She shouted: "We can't let it catch up with us, we have to find another way!"
Xu Jingsi stood up from the roof of the car, his eyes locked on the python's head. He aimed a round and prepared to fire. However, the python was too fast, and his gunfire just echoed in the desert and missed its target.
As time passed, they became more and more nervous. However, they did not give up and looked for opportunities to escape.
Suddenly, Shao Zheng discovered a steep sand dune, and he immediately decided to rush up. The off-road vehicle roared and climbed upwards, with the python chasing after it. When they reached the top of the dune, they saw a vast expanse of desert with no cover.
Shao Zheng stepped on the accelerator again, and the off-road vehicle rushed forward. Their target was the mountains in the distance.
The wild snake hit it with its body, and the car flew sideways for a distance. The head of the wild snake was exposed, Xu Jingsi pointed the gun at it and fired, and the bullet exploded. The wild snake was frightened and turned away to avoid it, then turned around and looked at the speeding car.
The Savage Snake began to chase after them again, but their speed became faster and faster, gradually widening the distance from their pursuers.
But a giant rock-like snake head appeared in front of him.
Several people looked at it and thought it was a statue at first.
It opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
Feiyan said: "Go around quickly."
There are mountains and forests ahead. If you want to enter the mountain forest, you can get rid of the wild snake. But this savage snake is blocking the front and cannot be bypassed directly.
Shao Zheng had no choice but to drive aside, and Barbarian Snake began to chase after him.
Shao Zheng couldn't help but go around in small circles, so he went around in big circles.
Xu Jingsi said: "Where are you running to?"
Shao Zheng said: "Run far away first, and then go to the mountains and forests."
Turning left and right, when driving on the sand, the wheels stir up the sand and raise it to form a sand cloud. The cloud of sand obscured the python's view, making it difficult to track the off-road vehicle.
