With the new compass, they did move a little faster.

After all, the direction is clearer, and everyone is rushing to the same place and working hard.

But the desert environment is far harsher than they imagined.

Barely at night, when they were ready to rest.

Suddenly, it felt like something bit Zhang Chong under his feet.

Zhang Chong shouted: "What is it? Is there anything else besides us in this place?"

"It seemed like something had bitten me just now."

Others gathered around.

"Can't? What animal can survive in this place?"

"Look to see if the wound is serious. Maybe it was scratched by some tree branch."

I shined a flashlight, and sure enough, I saw a row of very small impressions on his ankles.

"what is this?"

"The incision looks pretty neat. Could it be that he was really bitten by something?"

"It feels like the bite is quite deep. Is the wound bleeding?"

Zhang Chong stared and asked, "Will this thing be poisonous?"

The group of people were a little unsure.

He said in an unsteady voice: "I don't know, probably not."

"It's hard enough to stay alive in the desert, how could it be poisonous?"

Jiang Xiaoyu, who had been silent for a while, hesitated and said, "Not necessarily."

Everyone looked at him.

Jiang Xiaoyu said: "Perhaps because the desert environment is not good, some insects and organisms will slowly secrete some toxic substances. This can ensure that their targets will be poisoned and killed within a certain period of time."

"After that, it will smoothly become their food."

After Jiang Xiaoyu said this, their hearts froze.

Zhang Chong's eyes were even bigger than those of an ox.

He said in a panic: "Xiaoyu, don't scare me."

"You know I'm scared. I don't want to die here cowardly."

Jiang Xiaoyu comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, we will take you with you, nothing will happen to you."

He took another look at Zhang Chong's wound.

I felt even more unsure.

He had seen documentaries about deserts before.

It is said that there is a kind of rat in the desert. They will bite people when they are frightened.

They contain poison in their bodies, but only in trace amounts, which can cause body paralysis within a certain period of time.

The more Jiang Xiaoyu looked at this wound, the more it seemed like it.

He said: "Zhang Chong, first check if there are any abnormal reactions in your body."

Zhang Chong stood up from the ground and after moving a few times, he found nothing unusual.

He began to suspect that Jiang Xiaoyu must be overly concerned.

He smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, you must be overthinking. Don't you see that nothing has happened to me?"

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Then you should be on duty first. You will be on duty for an hour tonight and then change people."

Zhang Chong nodded without thinking.

Afterwards, the group fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xiaoyu was suddenly shaken awake.

Zhang Chong's eyes were a little blurry at the moment.

His speech was a little unclear: "Xiaoyu, I'm a little sleepy."

As soon as he said this, he fell asleep.

Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly patted Zhang Chong's face and called his name.

But Zhang Chong didn't react at all, but he woke up the people around him.

Everyone hurriedly came over and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Zhang Chong is... poisoned?"

Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the drone in the distance.He thought to himself, could Jiang Fan really refuse to save him even if he would die?
Or is it that the poison is not serious enough that they need to come and save him?
Jiang Fan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu across the screen.

Then he said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a small chance of being encountered by them."

Long Xiaoyun also kept staring at the screen and now said: "This looks a bit like a scorpion bite. Is it a desert black scorpion?"

Jiang Fan nodded.

"I originally thought of letting them go to the ancient ruins, where there are many black scorpions, but I didn't expect that they could encounter black scorpions so far away from the ancient ruins."

Long Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Should I say they are lucky or bad?"

She said: "This black scorpion is very poisonous. The antidote must be found within 12 hours, otherwise it will be life-threatening."

Jiang Fan glanced at the time.

At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu and others would need at least 12 hours to reach the direction of the monument.

Time is so stuck.

Moreover, the terrain in the desert varies greatly, and there are many disturbing factors that will affect them.

In addition, they still need to rest and it is impossible to arrive at the specified time.

Long Xiaoyun looked at Jiang Fan: "Are you really prepared to not care at all?"

Jiang Fan smiled.

Then, he took out the drone's microphone.

Said: "Zhang Chong was just stung by a desert black scorpion. The desert black scorpion is very poisonous. A special medicine must be found within 12 hours to save him. If it exceeds 12 hours, everything will be difficult to say."

Everyone heard this.

My heart froze once again.

Later, someone asked in a panic: "Where are we going to find the special medicine?"

Jiang Fan said: "At the supply point of the ancient ruins, if you move very fast now, you will reach the ancient ruins in 12 hours."

Everyone's expression is very dignified.

"Time is so tight."

"Let's take Zhang Chong into action quickly, we can't delay any longer."

At this moment, they suddenly realized another problem.

Originally, Zhang Chong weighed more than 150 kilograms.

It would be okay if everyone took turns carrying him.

But they still have nearly 200 kilograms of food supplies.

This time everyone finally realized they regretted it.

"What do you think we are doing with so many things?"

"We have already brought it this far, it would be a pity to throw it away."

"Being greedy is enough to swallow an elephant. This is just right for us now."

"Actually, we can't blame others. We never thought that such a thing could happen before."

Although everyone had various emotions on their lips, the movements of their hands did not stop.

They first drank a bottle of water each, ate some food, and used their bodies to burn some weight.

Although overall, it is not much lighter, but at this time, a little less is a little bit.

Jiang Xiaoyu asked everyone to use food bags to make a temporary stretcher.

The food is distributed evenly into each person's bag.

He grabbed a bottle of water, followed the stretcher, and walked beside Zhang Chong.

Do you want to rub some water on his face?

Keep his lips moist at all times.

He was already poisoned, and if he became dehydrated it would really be worse.

They hurriedly planned a route, and everyone drove quickly towards the ancient ruins.

And other groups at this time.

Things are not getting any better.

After Liu Yatao chose the wrong route, they could only go directly to the second supply point.

But along the way, the team members faced emotional collapse.

"We have been walking for almost three days, and I feel that this route is definitely wrong."
