Chapter two hundred and sixty-two, the blackness of the earth broke out]
[The fifth update that came in the middle of the night, so tired. I was almost asleep. Friends who read the pirated version, please come back and subscribe to support Xiaohou. Thank you]
Jia Long opened his mouth lightly.
"That's... a sandstorm!"
The drone followed Jia Long and passed her words to the live broadcast screen of thousands of households without missing a word.
"Yes, I have a little doubt in the past two days. During this survival process, we may encounter a sandstorm."
"Sandstorm? Is it the kind of natural disaster that is often played on TV?"
"It probably won't be so many sandstorms."
Jia Long didn't have to look back at the barrage, but he knew what the audience would ask.
She shook her head directly.
"People may think that the legendary astronomical phenomena such as sandstorms are rare."
"But this is wrong. At least this is not the case in the Rubhali Desert. You can search online. The Rubhali Desert is the desert with the highest incidence of sandstorms in the world, and it is not one. There will be sandstorms every seven days on average every year, and this frequency is extremely high."
"So it is entirely possible that we encounter a sandstorm."
"As for why I have some premonition, it is because the wind and sand in the past few days seem to be getting bigger and bigger. Although the sandstorm is coming, there is actually no sign of premonition, but the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, so it is not a good sign."
Jia Long is right. Even though the sandstorms in the desert cannot be perfectly predicted, the wind and sand in an area continue to grow, which is not good information.
Her worries are by no means unnecessary.
"Anyway, let's speed up. At least our goal tonight is to get out of this dunes. Otherwise, it will get cold at night and there will be no burning plants, so it will really be possible to freeze people to death."
In order to speed up the progress, Jia Long ventured into the dune terrain at night.
What she was most worried about was that when it was extremely cold, she was still spinning in the sand dunes, which was a bit dangerous.
How cold is the minus ten degrees in the desert? Perhaps no one has any idea, thinking that it is not cold if it is minus ten degrees.
Although many people can survive this cold night, they have to consider the differences in Jia Long.
The first point is that she doesn’t wear much clothes and has less equipment.
The second point is that strong winds are blowing in the desert anytime and anywhere. Although most of them are not a strong breeze, this is more powerful enough to reduce the body's body temperature.
The third point is sand.
The sand at night is the opposite of the daytime. During the day, they absorb heat. In the peak state, the temperature of the sand will be about 17 to 22 degrees higher than the temperature in the air. But at night, the unique hollow structure of the sand will quickly release heat. When people lie on it, the temperature they feel is even one or two times colder than the air temperature.
To sum up, when rushing to the night in the desert, you either have complete equipment or a lot of equipment or have strong knowledge and awareness of survival. At least you must realize that in general, you cannot travel in the dunes, otherwise it will be difficult to overcome the cold night in the sand.
Of course, the high temperatures during the day are similar, so there is also a lot of attention to it.
Jia Long picked up the branches of the trekking pole that had helped her save a lot of effort.
She 'gurgled', climbed up a sand dune in the last sunset in the sky, and then walked down quickly on the shadows.
"The only good news is that it is no longer too hot to travel in this environment. When the sun sets later, the temperature will drop faster."
Nothing can be too pessimistic.
In addition to thinking about the bad side, you also need to think about the good side.
This is how Jia Long thought that the temperature was not high and her body was comfortable, she would have less demand for water.
Of course, climbing sand dunes is completely different from the previously flat or slightly undulating terrain.
Climbing a small sand dune may be equivalent to the consumption of Jia Long walking a distance of one or two kilometers in a flat sand field.
Soon, she began to breathe heavily.
Although the sunset at this time is not very vicious, it is still the bright summer sun. As soon as it shines on your body, it makes people sweat, especially when it is still in heavy loads of exercise.
While climbing like this, Jia Longyi didn't seem to be fast, but he was extremely determined. Within an hour, he climbed over three or four small sand dunes in a row.
And the sunlight finally disappeared completely.
The earth became dark.
The moon hangs.
The bright moon light only illuminates the side facing it, and the back is completely unseen.
"Look at it, there are so many sand lizards."
It was evening, and Jia Long discovered that this dune land was not a complete forbidden area for life.
It should even be said that the sand dunes at night are also rich and colorful.
The little lizards with slaps, which look like four-legged snakes, are a little different, moving quickly in the sand.
The targets they pursue include spiders, scorpions, or various insects.
The creatures hiding the sun during the day start to move at night, which is very lively.
"Awesome, it turns out that there are so many animals in the dunes that you can hardly see during the day."
"Ye Long, please stop eating sand lizards, fans can't stand it."
"Haha, they already have food, so where would they eat randomly?"
Of course, Jia Long did not try catching sand lizards as the audience was worried.
Instead, don't provoke those little animals, walk by them quickly.
The jackal meat on her body is enough to eat. What we need to consider now is whether we can leave the dune terrain as soon as possible.
Of course, because the activity levels of nocturnal animals are completely different, Jia Long became very careful.
She used fine sand to fill the wound of the jackal meat on her back.
This way, the bloody smell should be eliminated as much as possible, and the bloody smell should be avoided to the greatest extent that the troubles of animals interested in the flesh and blood will be avoided.
To be honest, even before she treks through the dunes at night, she had already noticed whether the direction would be lost.
But because of the moon, she was still full of indifferent.
But when he walked three or five more sand dunes, up and down, Jia Long was dizzy and suddenly realized that he had lost his direction.
Even if there is a moon, it will not be a problem, because it can only determine the direction.
And the moon moves.
"It's trouble."
Jia Long sighed bitterly, and then did not dare to fully believe in the moon's guidance, and instead looked at the direction of the most famous "Polaris" in the starry sky.
In the distance of the sky, there are spoon-like stars connected into strings.
They are the ancient Longxia people watching astrological constellations at night, summarizing the rules and calling them the seven stars of the "Big Dipper".
But Jia Long didn't look at them.
Although the Big Dipper can also guide the direction, it still has its offset. The only thing that does not shift is the "North Star" not far away and has a weak brightness.
"The north is there, then the southeast is here..."
Through the North Star, Jia Long quickly analyzed the direction, then shrank his shoulders, and rushed towards the analyzed southeast.
