Surviving Endless Disasters

It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Wen Zheng's desert trip finally had a turnaround.

In the barren desert, Wen Zheng walked alone, praying to find water as soon as possible.

Wait.

Wen Zheng seemed to see something.

A black object appeared on the yellow sand in the distance, attracting Wen Zheng's attention.

No matter how excited he was, Wen Zheng still walked to the object at the original speed.

It was not his illusion. The object on the ground was indeed what he thought it was, which was camel feces.

A smile finally appeared on Wen Zheng's tired face.

He could actually see camel feces, so he could follow the feces to find the traces of the camel, and then follow the camel to find water.

In the desert, camels are good at finding water.

There was not much wind and sand on the camel feces, but there was no smell. Wen Zheng carefully turned over the feces with his walking stick, and bent down to smell it without disdain.

The center of the dung was still a little green, which meant that the camel's dung had not dried up completely.

This meant that the camel was not very far from where he was.

Wen Zheng began to search for traces around the dung, hoping to find the camel's footprints.

Not long after, he found the camel's footprints that had not disappeared a few meters away, deeply sunk in the sand, indicating the direction they were moving in.

After careful observation, Wen Zheng determined that there were several camels moving forward together, but the direction the camels were moving in was northwest, which was different from his plan to go straight north.

Wen Zheng chose the latter without hesitation, choosing between following his plan to go north or following the camel's dung.

Walking in the desert was more exhausting than expected, and Wen Zheng walked for several days and nights, consuming a lot of physical recovery potions.

It was difficult to leave the desert by walking in a short period of time. Finding a camel might mean having a mount, which also meant that it was possible to find a water source.

After adjusting the direction of walking, Wen Zheng continued to move forward along the camel dung and the less obvious footprints.

Fearing that the sudden appearance of sand and wind would wipe out these footprints, Wen Zheng walked faster.

However, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen. Wen Zheng originally thought that with his luck, he would not encounter Murphy's theorem. A few minutes later, a gust of wind blew and covered the footprints that were not obvious to begin with.

Wen Zheng sighed. He had come here, and he had to find these camels. Anyway, he still had points in his hand, which could withstand his tossing.

Following the trajectory along the way, Wen Zheng speculated that the road continued to move forward.

Wen Zheng's persistence finally paid off. After walking for a few minutes, he found the footprints of the camel again, and the green that was faintly emerging not far away.

In the following road, in addition to yellow sand, gravel and dead wood, there were a lot of wild grass, and where the eyes could reach, there were green cacti standing upright.

In the barren desert, cactus represents hope, especially there are several animals that eat cactus nearby, which are about two meters tall and three meters long adult camels, a total of four.

The moment he saw the camels, Wen Zheng's heart was filled with unprecedented ecstasy.

Even later, he noticed that there were humans wearing yellow clothes on the backs of two of the camels.

Although the distance was a bit far, based on the original owner's memory, Wen Zheng could basically determine that the people on the camels were members of the expedition team like the original body.

As the distance gradually shortened, Wen Zheng realized that something was wrong. The two people lying on the camels' backs had not made any movement so far.

Chapter 126 Under the green cactus, Wen Zheng sat in the shadow and looked up at the sunset in the sky.

The desert was filled with smoke, and the setting sun was round on the Yellow River.

After entering this world, this was the first time that Wen Zheng was in the mood to watch such a spectacular scene.

Unlike the sun at noon that wanted to roast people, the sunset became softer and slowly approached the horizon.

The orange-red light enveloped the yellow sand, and even the cactus was stained with a layer of red.

Although the desert is barren, you can clearly feel the unique beauty of the desert when you are in it, which is a spectacular sight that cannot be described in words or pictures.

Of course, the premise of appreciation is that you will not be troubled by how to survive.

In the stone stove built with stones not far away, the collected dead wood is slowly burning, and the burning flames are licking the cactus placed on it.

Cactus is the only plant that camels eat in the desert. In order to adapt to the drought environment and reduce the evaporation of water, the cactus has needle-shaped leaves, and the thick stems contain sufficient water.

Some cacti in the desert are toxins and are not suitable for consumption. Wen Zheng is very lucky. The cactus he met this time is suitable for consumption.

You only need to remove the thorns with skin on the surface, and you can put it directly into your mouth to chew. If conditions permit, it will taste better if you roast it on the fire.

After Wen Zheng came near the camel, the first thing he did was to check the two people on the camel's back.

The two people did not move on the camel's back, and they did not get down even when they saw the cactus, so Wen Zheng was already mentally prepared for the worst.

Fortunately, although the two were in a state of extreme dehydration, they were still alive, much luckier than their original bodies who had no camels and had to walk by themselves and fainted in the desert.

He snatched a few pieces of cactus from the camel's mouth, chopped them up, put them into an empty kettle and crushed them with a dagger, and Wen Zheng poured the juice into the two people's mouths.

After all, they are two human lives. In the memory of the original body, these two are good people. One of them is a professor who is over five years old. If he only feeds cactus juice, it may be difficult to survive. Wen Zheng fed each other. They both drank a potion to restore their physical strength.

On the undulating horizon, the silhouette of the setting sun gradually disappeared, leaving only a trace of blood red.

"Cough...water..." A weak and almost inaudible voice came from beside him. Wen Zheng turned his head and looked over. The young man Huang Li, who was about the same age as him, woke up. Wang Xi's lips slowly moved, and he let out the last breath of his body. Urgent need, "Water..." Wen Zheng walked to him with a kettle and carefully poured the cactus juice into Huang Li's mouth. He was afraid that Huang Li would choke and that the precious water resources would spill on the ground. Wen Zheng tilted a small amount, pouring only a few drops into Huang Li's mouth each time.

But Huang Li, who was still unconscious, couldn't wait for a few drops of water to enter his mouth. He used the newly recovered strength in his body to sit up, grabbed the kettle from Wen Zheng's hand, and immediately poured the water into it. In the mouth.

The kettle in his hand was clenched tightly. Huang Li tried his best to move the kettle, but he only heard someone saying: "Huang Li, don't waste the water you finally found."

"Huang Li was woken up from his groggy state by Wen Zheng, and his eyes gradually became clear.

Wen Zheng saw Huang Li's change, and then he let go and put the kettle into Huang Li's hand. When he saw him carefully taking a few sips, he reluctantly returned the kettle to Wen Zheng, trying his best to smile. He thanked Wen Zheng: "Brother, thank you for waking me up. I was completely groggy just now. I would regret it extremely if I knocked over the kettle.

"By the way, this is not my dream, right?" Wen Zheng, how did you find us? Who else is with you? After saying this, Huang Li thought of an important question and looked around while asking: "Where is the teacher?" "Professor Huang is next to you. He is weaker than you. It will probably take some time to wake up."

" Wen Zheng comforted him. Seeing Huang Li's anxious look, he helped him to Professor Huang's side. Seeing Huang Li personally check on Professor Huang's condition, the young man felt more favorably.
