Surviving Endless Disasters

The giant lizard, which was in great pain again, struggled hard from side to side, and finally crashed into the rock wall.

There was a rumbling sound, and gravel rolled down from the rock wall that was violently hit. Wen Zheng dodged the stone that fell from the sky at high speed with a single step, and then the huge stone fell on the monitor lizard's head. No matter how hard Wen Zheng tried to avoid it, the clothes on his body were still stained with blood.

Even without its head, the monitor lizard's body continued to squirm a few times on the ground, and then fell silent after a while.

At this time, the three people in the cave were shocked and speechless by the scene they saw.

"The hidden mission - destroy the mutant monitor lizard has been completed, and the reward points are 5,000 points.

"The long-lost hidden mission prompt came. Wen Zheng took back the weapon shovel and dagger stained red by blood, and slowly left the monitor lizard's body covered in the smell of blood.

After the death of the monitor lizard, there was nothing in this canyon that could threaten their safety. It was just that the blood flowing out of the monitor lizard polluted the water source not far away, and Hou Rui's broken leg had not yet healed, so they decided to Stay in the canyon for a few more days.

On the second day after the monitor lizard was eliminated, Wen Zheng and others went to the canyon area where the stream flows after dawn.

There are rugged rocks, gurgling water, and prosperous scenery.

Wen Zheng and his family's life has settled down here, but with the arrival of winter, the temperature at night is getting lower and lower.

Wen Zheng and others had no choice but to pay attention to the animals living in the canyon to prevent colds at night when the temperature was too low.

That night, Wen Zheng and the other four were eating barbecue around the fire. Wen Zheng, who was facing the outside of the cave, accidentally glanced outside, and his eyes froze there.

The others noticed something was wrong with Wen Zheng and quickly looked over. They saw the cold wind blowing from the parallel hole, blowing pieces of white stuff.

Those white things look extremely familiar, but they also make those who recognize them suspicious, and they repeatedly confirm whether it is their imagination.

"Are these snowflakes?" "It actually snowed in the desert!" "Yes, we encountered a rare spectacle.

"Most of the world's deserts are in tropical areas, where precipitation is very low, and rainwater often evaporates before it reaches the ground.

Of course, not all deserts are like this. Some deserts may experience heavy rains during the rainy season, forming lakes of varying sizes in the desert and slowly evolving into short-lived oases.

In some deserts, the temperature reaches sub-zero temperatures in winter. When rare precipitation occurs, the rain will no longer evaporate in mid-air, but will turn into white snowflakes before reaching the ground.

This kind of snowy scene in the desert is extremely rare. The fluttering snowflakes fell on the golden desert and fell into the deep canyon. This was the first time Wen Zheng saw this spectacle.

Chapter 139: After hovering over the canyon for several days, the vulture swooped down and used its sharp beak to eat the flesh of the monitor lizard.

The dead monitor lizard carcass was placed on the same spot, covered with ants. Before it was completely devoured, it encountered the cold air of winter and was covered by falling snowflakes.

In the early morning, it was another ordinary day living in the canyon. Wen Zheng woke up first, tightened the fur covering his body, and added a piece of camel dung to the fire that was about to go out. Camel dung contains a lot of plant fiber. Wang Zao Hou burns longer than dead wood.

The fire that was about to go out became fierce again. Wen Zheng opened the wooden fence at the entrance of the cave. The cold wind blew into the cave. Huang Li and Hou Rui, who had been squeezed together unknowingly at night, shrank. Closer together.

The next second, Wen Zheng sat at the entrance of the cave to block the cold wind.

After one night, the entire canyon was covered with thin snowflakes. The extremely low temperature prevented the snowflakes from melting, forming a snow scene that is extremely rare in the desert, which shocked everyone who saw it.

The poplar trees in the desert have strong vitality, and their branches are covered with layers of snow and ice, turning into an extremely beautiful rime scene.

Tall cacti, with white hats on their heads, and crystal clear ice edges hanging on some protruding rocks, just look at these scenes and they don't look like they are in the desert at all.

Wen Zheng held a strong nylon rope in his hand and slid from the cave to the ground.

I don’t know how Hou Rui found this cave. It was big enough for the four of them to squeeze together, but it was stable enough. It was cleaned by Hou Rui. It burned dead branches and feces every day, and the smell was not unpleasant.

Wen Zheng put the water bottle and water bag he was carrying on the camel, and led the camel towards the water source.

The source of the stream in the canyon is not far from the cave. It is a spring emerging from the ground. The spring water flows down from east to west, gradually forming a thin stream, nourishing the surrounding land and vegetation.

The fennec foxes, which were originally jumping around in the bushes, popped their heads out alertly after hearing the noise. They discovered that it was the terrifying two-legged beast and immediately hid in the cave.

Since the Twolegs entered the canyon, their large family has lost several members.

The fennec fox will hunt gerbils, insects and other animals in order to survive, and Wen Zheng and the others also want to survive to catch the fennec fox. As for the sand dune cat, because it lives alone, only one has been seen so far, but one escaped. Tribulation.

The captured fennec foxes became clothing for Wen Zheng and others to keep out the cold, and the excess was made into water bags.

The stream in the canyon was living water. Wen Zheng led the camel to a place downstream to drink water, and he himself filled all the water containers at the source.

The water is filtered by the stones and looks relatively clear, but there are a lot of animal feces around it.

In such a situation where they have to go through so much trouble to find the water source, Wen Zheng and others will certainly not mind this. However, if conditions permit, the retrieved stream water will be simply heated and sterilized before drinking.

"Brother Wen, why didn't you ask me to get up and help you, and then left you to do all the work alone.

"Huang Li stood in the cave and pulled the nylon rope tied with the water bag up.

"You're so polite to me.

"Wen Zheng said with a smile. After living together for such a long time, the relationship between them no longer needs such polite words.

After Wen Zheng entered the cave, Huang Li rubbed his face, which had become frozen due to the wind.

Professor Huang and Hou Rui are preparing today's breakfast. There is a deformed pot of an ordnance shovel on the fire, and a thick broth is simmering in it. It has to be said that the ordnance shovel can really be called a universal artifact. It can come in handy many times.

After drinking the broth, which didn't taste particularly good but could warm the body and replenish energy, the four people in the cave began to get busy. They briefly heated and sterilized the water that Wen Zheng brought back, and then put it into a kettle or animal skin water bag. inside.

After working hard all day, in the early morning of the next day, a group of four people rode camels and left the canyon, which was still surrounded by snow.

Walk up the canyon until you reach the ground level.

Small snowflakes had fallen again the night before, but the snow had not yet melted.

Looking around, the vast and thick yellow sand is covered with white snow, the sky is still so blue, and the horizon is dyed a light orange-red by the rising sun. Camels are lining up and walking slowly in the desert, forming a picture together. A beautiful picture.

Before the sun reaches the top of the head, the rapidly rising temperature has melted the ice and snow, turning it into short-lived puddles on the sand, slowly seeping into the sand or being evaporated by the sun.

Wen Zheng and the others could only take off their thick fur coats, facing the sand blown by the breeze, and dared to go far away covered with dust.

The most important resource in the desert is drinking water. Once Wen Zheng and others have enough drinking water, the road behind them will not be a problem.
