Chapter 195
ujing, whether this tree is wild or grafted doesn't matter. What's important is that we hurry and go to the place you want to show us."">"Okay, let's go. Take the left path, and watch out for the gras...Last night, when we went to sleep, all the camels were tied together. This morning, when we woke up, only the ropes were left on the ground.
The sprout had rested for a night and his spirits had improved greatly. He angrily declared, "It must have been that boy! From the very beginning, I saw him acting suspiciously. Besides, what kind of person could live in a sand burrow It must be him!"
At this time, Qin Xingping ran over in a panic, his face pale.
"We've taken inventory, and the remaining food and water are less than one tenth of the original amount. We're in serious trouble now!"
At these words, everyone's face turned pale.
Now that we're deep in the desert, water and food are absolutely crucial. A person can walk on foot if they lose their camel, but without water and supplies... the consequences are self-evident.
The bean sprout said: “That kid ran off in the late half of the night, it’s only been two or three hours, why don't we send someone to chase him!”
“No,” Lao Zhang immediately stopped Douzi's suggestion, saying, “Ala Shan is endless yellow sand with nothing for reference. A person can only survive for a maximum of three days without water. The incident has already happened, our most urgent task is to integrate the team and reasonably distribute the remaining water and food.”
"
"
Besides, no one knows which direction the young man went. If it's a windy place, the camel tracks would be completely covered in fifteen minutes.
"""
""" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Yes, I agree with Lao Zhang," he said to me, "Yunfeng, you take Xiaoxuan and gather up the remaining water and food. See how many days it will last."
”
I and Miss Zhao immediately set out. I looked for water, she looked for food.
In less than half an hour, all the bottled water and edible things were piled on the ground.
After taking inventory, we now have 9 bottles of purified water, half a bag of roasted bread, and a small portion of beef jerky. Besides these, Azha took everything else.
"Things aren't looking good..." Lao Zhang frowned, "Let alone the food, we only have 9 bottles of water for five people. That's not even enough for a day's worth at normal rations. We were supposed to have enough for ten days or so."
">
Five people each take a bottle, we all save some and drink carefully. There are 4 bottles left, I'll keep them here for emergencies.
Lao Zhang started to ramble as he spoke.
"We need to hurry, the journey from the windswept slope to Yueya Oasis is the longest, it would normally take three and a half days. Let's pack up, tether the camels, and set off now."
">
Under Lao Zhang's urging, everyone quickly packed up their things.
Lao Zhang walked in the front, identifying the direction. This time, we all rode camels. We did this to save energy.
Morning time passed by a lot, it felt like the camel caravan didn't travel for long before it was lunchtime.
The sun in Alashan at midday is very strong, and the deeper you go, the stronger it becomes. Everyone uses scarves as hats to cover their heads, preventing direct sunlight and conserving body fluids as much as possible.
The sprouts were so hot that his mouth was dry. He couldn't take it anymore, twisted open the bottle of water and drank half a bottle in one go.
Xiao Xuan rode on the camel closest to Dou Yazi. She kicked Dou Yazi's leg and said angrily, "How can you be so lacking in determination You can't sip your water little by little Didn't you hear Zhang Shu say that we still have two days to go!"
The bean sprout chirped, mouth full, and said with satisfaction: "What do you care If there's water, why would I be thirsty"
"
"You!"
Little Xu angrily said: "Do whatever you want, I don't care about you anymore!"
At this time, wiping the sweat from his brow, he looked at Lao Zhang and asked, "The sun is too strong. Why don't we find a place to rest for a bit before continuing I'm worried everyone will get dehydrated."
"I'm afraid this won't work," Lao Zhang said worriedly, "There's no shade here, it's hot to sit down. Let's keep walking forward."at's right! I'm just a woman! But if I had Grandpa's skills, if I could wield the coal-burner blade..."I will definitely take my sword north, and attack Northeast China! I will attack Changchun and ki...
