Surviving Endless Disasters

Professor Huang was still thinking about the other lost members of the expedition team, so he did not take away all the edible cactus parts. He also pointed out the direction they were going to go with stones beside the triangular stones, hoping that others could Found here.

When the coldest part of the night passed, Wen Zheng put out the fire and climbed onto the camel's back.

I finally have a means of transportation and can walk without my feet.

"Wen Zheng, you are so amazing that you can still get here without a camel or a coat.

Huang Li said with admiration.

Wen Zheng smiled and did not answer.

That night they embarked on a long road again. Although they rarely spoke in order to reduce water consumption, when they saw someone next to them while walking, they knew that they were not alone.

The camel bells rang, and the four-headed desert boat walked silently in the desert, carrying the humans lost in the desert to a place where they could survive.

As one of the few species that can walk in the desert for a long time, camels naturally have a sense of direction when walking in the desert, which eliminates the need for Wen Zheng to constantly observe the North Star or the sun to prevent him from walking in the wrong direction.

The cool night passed quickly, the temperature began to gradually rise, and the sun rose from the horizon into the sky.

Huang Li felt that he was in pretty good condition, thinking that the cactus meat was somewhat effective, while looking at the surrounding situation.

Several sand beetles slowly crawled out from the cracks in the rocks on the ground, inserted their heads into the sand, and then raised their bodies high.

This is an insect with a unique method of obtaining water. It often appears after sunrise or sunset. At that time, their body temperature will drop very low, allowing the water mist in the air to contact their bodies to form water droplets, and then Slowly flow into their mouths.

The animals that can live in the desert all have unique functions for water, which makes Huang Li a little envious.

At this moment, a sand lizard suddenly jumped out of the sand and swallowed several sand beetles into its stomach in a few mouthfuls when the sand beetles were unprepared.

After eating the sand beetle, the sand lizard buried its body in the sand and swam contentedly, leaving a mark on the flat sand.

But after it swallowed a few more sand beetles, the snake that had been waiting nearby jumped up and swallowed them.

After watching a scene of a lizard catching insects and a poisonous snake following behind, Huang Li withdrew his gaze.

Walking in the desert is a long and boring journey. Huang Li can only find some fun for himself to divert his attention from drinking water.

But when he saw the fast-moving viper just now, Huang Li realized that he would never be able to avoid it, so when he saw Wen Zheng being able to catch the snake and expose its flesh, he was particularly impressed.

Wen Zheng, who was riding a camel at the front, was thinking about the problem.

The main mission of the system gives them three months to survive in the desert. It should not be easy for them to get out, and it is very likely that they will cause some trouble.

It’s better to be vigilant at all times.

As the time approached noon, the benefits of owning a camel became apparent again.

Riding a camel and walking in the desert is like the difference between a desert and an oasis compared to walking on your own feet.

After Wen Zheng stayed on the camel's back for a few minutes, he couldn't help but mourn for a few minutes for himself in the past few days, and then felt sorry for the points he had used to buy the stamina potion.

Riding a camel not only saves energy, but also makes it much better at noon when the sun is strongest. Lying under the shadow of the camel's body and covering your body with sand, you can take a good nap to refresh yourself.

Water can only be obtained from cactus stored in kettles, so you can only eat as sparingly as possible, but there is not much food to supplement protein and meat.

As long as the animals in the desert are properly treated, they are basically edible. Even if you are afraid that venomous snakes and scorpions will hurt you, there are still small beetles that can be used to satisfy your hunger.

Two more days passed like this, and no matter how hard they saved the kettle, half of the cactus in the kettle was eaten. So when Wen Zheng and the others saw the green cactus not far ahead, they felt uncontrollably excited. Huang Li was even happy. Roar it out.

But after Wen Zheng saw the appearance of those cacti clearly, he shook his head in disappointment and said in a hoarse voice: "Those are plants of the Euphorbiaceae family. They look like cacti, but they are actually poisonous and cannot be eaten.

"Huang Li, who originally wanted to speed up the camel, immediately looked over with disappointment, and said with a little hope: "We are still far away, maybe you can see it.

Professor Huang was more open-minded and thought clearly, and persuaded Huang Li: "Many cacti in the desert are poisonous. We have already encountered edible cacti to save our lives once. Now we should calm down when seeing poisonous and inedible ones." , it is best not to have too much hope in the desert. There are many travelers who get lost in the desert because they committed suicide out of false despair after seeing a mirage. You must learn to calm down.

"Teacher, I understand."

"Huang Li lowered his head and responded.

The camel was still walking at the same speed as before. When he came to the new cactus, Wen Zheng pointed at the plants and said, "To tell whether a cactus is edible, first look at the color. The color of these cacti is a little dark. Look carefully. There is also a layer of white frost.

If you see a prickly pear without thorns, it is not edible. If there is really no way to identify it, you can cut off a piece and try it with your tongue. You can only eat it if you feel no numbness or pain for a few minutes and no physical discomfort.

" Although these cacti cannot be eaten, they are green after all, which can soothe the eyes. Seeing the same scene every day is visually fatigued.

At noon that day, Wen Zheng stopped to rest and avoid the sun as usual. He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a panicked voice.

After waking up, Wen Zheng was startled. When he was sure that it was not the voice he dreamed of, he immediately climbed out of the sand pile and looked around. Professor Huang was still sleeping well, but Huang Li was nowhere to be seen.

Something happened to Huang Li.

After Wen Zheng reacted, he quickly dared to go to the sound. The place where the sound came from was behind the sand dune next to it.

When Wen Zheng ran over in a hurry, he saw Huang Li's legs were stuck in the sand and his body was still sinking.

Wen Zheng's heart sank. Huang Li was trapped in quicksand.

Many desert explorers in history lost their lives because of quicksand, but many modern scientists have studied this special phenomenon. It is not a death trap that cannot be avoided.

Seeing Wen Zheng rushing over, Huang Li made a broken voice: "Wen Zheng, you must not come over, you will be trapped like me.

If I hadn't met you to help, I would have died of excessive dehydration.

I may not survive this time. Please help me take good care of the teacher. If you can get out of this desert, tell my parents..." "Don't worry about leaving your last words. You won't die. Now follow my command and start moving.

"Wen Zheng did not approach the quicksand nor did he panic. His calmness was transmitted to Huang Li, who listened to him and changed his actions.

Chapter 128 Quicksand is sand that can flow like liquid. It is a natural phenomenon that grows in deserts with unstable foundations.

Many films have descriptions of quicksand, but quicksand is not as scary as described in the movies.

The most important thing about falling into quicksand is that you cannot shake your body and struggle. The more you struggle, the faster you will fall. Once you fall into it, you cannot pull it out. Not to mention a strongman, even if you use a crane to pull it, you cannot pull it out, but it will pull it in half.

The correct way is to stop moving when you just fall into the quicksand, and then slowly lie flat on the sand. This way, it is difficult to fall into the quicksand, and finally roll out of this area.
