Everyone gritted their teeth and walked forward according to the direction specified on the compass. Tang San was concerned about Qixie's safety, so he didn't say a few words along the way. As for the talkative Lei Zi, he also kept his mouth shut because he wanted to save saliva. Without talking, there is not much water left in the kettle. Fortunately, we found a Populus euphratica forest. The discovery of a Populus euphratica forest means that there is groundwater eight to ten meters below the ground. A group of people dug down more than eight meters, and there was indeed water. Bubbling out, everyone took two kettles and filled them up. Seeing the kettles being filled up little by little, the confidence to walk out of the desert increased a lot.

Everyone persisted for a full day and night, and the desert still had no end in sight. It was fine during the day, but at night, the temperature dropped sharply, and it was freezing to the bone. The few people had to hug each other and warm each other. After a cold night, everyone I have experienced the horror of the desert night. Seeing that the second night is coming and there is still no way out, everyone is vaguely worried. The water in the two kettles will not last long. After all, there are too many people and less water. After encountering the Populus euphratica forest, I never encountered plants that reminded me of water.

On the second night, at least he made it through. In the morning, Lei Zi couldn't wait to open the kettle, poured it into his mouth, and immediately froze: "Oops, there is no water."

He stuck out his tongue and twirled around the mouth of the bottle, put the remaining two drops into his mouth, and then poured it down weakly: "It's over now, we don't have to be poisoned to death after all, I'm afraid we still have to die In this desert."

"We need to find the water source, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous." Bai Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, but it wasn't too hot. He felt a little nervous. The groundwater he found before was limited, and according to his understanding, the groundwater in the desert It cannot be directly drunk by people, it must be distilled, otherwise it can only be given to camels to drink. Can't find it.

Shi Wenbo said: "Although this is my first visit to the desert, I know some ways to find groundwater. For example, if dense reeds are found in the desert, it means that water can be dug out at a depth of more than one meter underground. ;If you see Achnatherum splendens, you can dig water about two meters underground; if you see red willow and camel thorns, it means that we have underground water when we dig six to eight meters; There is groundwater at ten meters."

Lei Zi spat into the sand: "I can't see anything now, it's all useless."

"Actually, there is another way." Bai Yi said: "If there is wet sand or bitter water in the desert, we may have a chance to get water out."

Tang Sancheng pursed his lips, now that his lips were split, a bloody smell spread on the tip of his tongue after this lick, and this taste penetrated into the whole mouth again, the feeling was very subtle, he took a breath: "I must get out alive, let's go, find a source of water."

If you don’t leave, you can only stay here and wait to die. Everyone dragged their tired bodies and strenuously moved forward, hoping that the end of the desert would appear in front of them. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Tang Sancheng finally couldn’t hold on anymore, and his whole body flopped on the sand. Inside, the body was as heavy as lead, Xiao Shan grabbed Tang Sancheng's hand, not only did not pull Tang Sancheng up, but he also fell into the sand, Bai Yi said in a hoarse voice: "Get up quickly, if you lie down I'm going to lie here forever! Aren't you still going out alive to save Xiao Ning and wait for Qixie?"

Yes, Tang Sancheng also told himself in his heart, stand up!Tang Sancheng, Xiao Ning is waiting for you, and Qixie is waiting for you too!But why is his body so heavy? Tang Sancheng's legs kicked in the sand, but he still drooped powerlessly. His eyes almost couldn't be opened. Bai Yi and Lei Zi looked at each other, and stepped forward to pull Tang Sancheng and Xiao Shan respectively. I got up, just as I lifted the two of them up, Professor Shi over there collapsed as soon as his body went limp...

"What's all this?" Lei Zi didn't notice, his hands were shaking too, he was afraid and struggling.

Shi Wenbo's head was stuck in the sand, Bai Yi was afraid that he would suffocate, so he supported Tang Sancheng with one hand and pulled Shi Wenbo up: "Professor Shi, wake up, or everyone will die here!"

"Bai Yi..." Lei Zi over there suddenly called out weakly: "I'm afraid I can't do it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell down with his head on his back, and his whole body collapsed into the sand. Naturally, the hill he was supporting fell down with him. Lei Zi tried to get up with one hand, but he couldn't use any strength. On the ground, Bai Yi had already struggled to support the two people, perhaps because of the influence of Lei Zi, his legs softened, and the three of them fell to the ground. Tang Sancheng fell the farthest, and his body fell into the sand , suddenly the whole body rolls downwards, bad, there is a slope! !

"Thirty percent!" Bai Yi stretched out his hand towards Tang Sancheng, but it was in vain. He could only watch helplessly as Tang Sancheng fell down. People looked so small in the desert. At this moment, all the sand seemed to be mocking them. Struggling, Bai Yi didn't know where the courage came from, crawled towards Tang Sancheng's direction, threw his body down, and rolled down!

Lei Zi didn't expect Bai Yi, who had always been calm, to lose his mind in this environment, and he took a big breath: "Damn, forget it, we'll die together if we die."

Lei Zi followed Bai Yi's example and rolled down the slope. Xiao Shan and Shi Wenbo looked at each other, and Shi Wenbo smiled wryly, "I've been studying all my life, and at this age, I've been killed by curiosity." , Forget it, I deserve it myself!" The two also rolled down.

Tang Sancheng was the first to roll down, only to feel that his body was no longer his own, the sand splashed and splashed all around, his head seemed to be filled with paste, he couldn't feel anything, his body came back in the end thanks to that moist blessing At this time, Tang Sancheng was lying there with all four limbs facing the sky, and finally... stopped, the coolness coming from under his body cleared his mind, he grabbed the sand next to him, he was startled, this sand— — it's wet! !

Thinking of what Bai Yi said just now, Tang Sancheng was overjoyed. Just when he was about to open his mouth to cheer, a heavy object rushed over and hit Tang Sancheng firmly, causing Tang Sancheng to cry out in pain. The heavy object slid forward for more than two meters before stopping. The impact force was unusual. Tang Sancheng's hand touched the heavy object, only to hear Bai Yi's hoarse voice: "Don't touch it randomly. .”

It was Bai Yi, Tang Sancheng was very excited: "Bai Yi, where just now..."

"I also felt it just now, the sand is moist." Bai Yi's words were full of joy: "Tang Sancheng, you are a lucky star, we can't die now."
