At night, we slept with camels tied up together, but only the reins were left on the ground when we woke up this morning.

Douyazai's spirits improved a lot after resting for a night. He scolded angrily: "It must be that boy! From the beginning, I saw him sneaking and talking about what kind of person can live in a sand hole.

It's him!"

At this time, Qin Xingping ran over in a panic, his face looking very ugly.

"After counting, the leftover food and water are less than one-tenth of the original total amount. We are in trouble now!"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Now we are close to the depths of the desert, water and food are definitely the top priority. Without camels, people can walk and hike. If there is no water and food, you can imagine the consequences.

Douyazai said: "That kid ran away in the middle of the night, only two or three hours away from now. Why don't we send someone to chase him!"

"No," Lao Zhang immediately stopped Douyazai's suggestion. He said: "Alaxan is endless and full of yellow sand, without reference objects. People survive for up to three days without drinking water. Things have already happened. We

The most urgent task is to integrate the team and reasonably distribute the remaining water and food."

"Besides, no one knows where the young man is going. If it is a windy place, the camel will leave footprints after passing by for fifteen minutes and will be completely covered up."

"Yes, I agree with what Lao Zhang said," he said to me, "Yunfeng, take Xiaoxuan to gather the remaining water and food, and see how many days it will take."

I immediately started to act, and I looked for water and she looked for food.

In less than half an hour, all the remaining bottled water and food were piled on the ground.

After counting, we now have 9 bottles of pure water, half a bag of baked naan and a small part of jerky, and all other things except these were taken away by Aza.

"The situation is not good," Lao Zhang frowned and said, "Let's not talk about what to eat, but the five of us only have 9 bottles of water. The normal amount is not enough for a day. It was originally prepared for more than ten days."

"Each of the five people takes one bottle, so they save some drinks. Put the remaining 4 bottles here to keep for emergency purposes." Lao Zhang began to release water as he said.

"We have to hurry up. The journey from the leeward slope to the crescent oasis is the longest. If you walk normally, you will take about three and a half days to get there. Get clean, take the camels and set off now."

At Lao Zhang's urging, the next group packed up their things as soon as possible.

Lao Zhang walked in front to identify the direction. This time we all rode a camel, and we did this to save energy.

I delayed a lot in the morning, and I felt that the camel caravan had not left for long before it was noon.

The sun is very high at noon in Alaxan, and the deeper you go, the more you go. Everyone uses a gauze scarf as a hat to cover their heads, so that they can keep the moisture in their bodies as much as possible without letting the sun be directly exposed.

Douyazai was so hot that his mouth was dry and he couldn't hold it anymore. He unscrewed the bottle of water and tilted his neck, and drank half a large bottle.

Xiaoxuan rode a camel closest to Douyazai. She kicked Douyazai and said angrily: "Why are you so unwilling to do it? You can't save some drinks with a bottle of water? Didn't you hear Uncle Zhang say that, we still want two more

God can arrive!"

Douyazai slapped his mouth and said with satisfaction: "Do you care about me? If you don't drink water, why are you thirsty for yourself?"

"you!"

Xiaoxuan said angrily: "You can do whatever you want, ignore you!"

At this time, wiped my head and wiped my sweat. I looked at Lao Zhang and asked, "The sun is too big. Why don't we find a place to rest and leave? I'm afraid everyone will be dehydrated."

"I think it won't work," Lao Zhang said worriedly: "There is no shade here, and it's hot to sit. Walk forward and look."

We were also unlucky and walked for several hours in a row. Until the sun set, we couldn't find the so-called shade, so everyone had to camp on the spot.

I endured it all the way, and only then did I dare to take out the water and drink it. I let him finish the bottle that Douyazai had distributed in the afternoon. I don’t know how he will spend the next two days.

Then Douyazi might have realized the seriousness of the matter, so he shamelessly asked Lao Zhang for help.

I didn't want to give it to him, but Lao Zhang saw that he had an injury on his head and was a patient. He made an exception and gave him a second bottle of water. At the same time, he told Douya that the bottle would be gone after drinking it, so he could save some drinking.

Douyazai knew the seriousness of the matter and held back this time.

No words all night.

The next day, after leaving for a day, except for Lao Zhang, there was a bottle of half a bottle of water in his bag, everyone else drank all the water.

Once a person is thirsty, he doesn’t want to eat. The baked naan is so dry and he can’t swallow it, so he doesn’t want to eat it anymore. Therefore, we eat very little on this day and a half.

Continue on the third day.

It was windy that day, and yellow sand was flying all over the sky. Our camel caravan walked into a straight line under the leadership of Lao Zhang, so that everyone could see their companions in front of them to prevent them from getting lost.

"Wait." Suddenly, Lao Zhang, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped leaving.

"What's wrong with Uncle Zhang?" The wind blew hard, and I asked loudly, covering my veil.

He turned his head left and right and looked for a long time, then suddenly stomped his feet, and said with an ugly expression: "The wind is too strong, I remember the terrain wrongly, we went off the wrong way! This is not the road to the Crescent Oasis, we reached the Ant Groove!"

"Ant Grooves!" Dou Yazai stared and said, "What's this place? How come this one is not very good."

After listening to Lao Zhang's next explanation, everyone looked at each other and looked ugly.

The reason why it is called ant groove is because there are often marching ants nearby. Marching ants are desert black ants. This ant has longer legs than the body and has a special protein in its belly. Because there is this protein in the body, marching ants can be

The body temperature is as high as 50 degrees Celsius and can still remain energetic.

Similarly, because the sand is sunburned at a high temperature, the marching ants crawl very quickly, just like marching quickly, because running quickly can reduce the time each foot touches the ground, which is the result of evolution.

Uncle Zhang said to us with a serious expression: "We have no water anymore. I originally expected to be able to go to the Crescent Oasis tomorrow. Now that we have arrived here, we can only pass through the ant groove now."

Douyazai shivered and said, "I heard that the ants in the desert can eat people. They are as big as small chicks. We will not be eaten by big ants."

"Okay, Yazai, close your crow's mouth and listen attentively to what Uncle Zhang said." I cursed him speechlessly.

"Not that exaggerated," Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "Marching ants are only a little bigger than ordinary white ants, but they hurt when they bite people's wounds. It's like a needle. This thing is poisonous."

"Grass! Still a poisonous ants! That's not even more than done!" Douyazai shouted.

"Yes, it's indeed dangerous, but it's fine if you don't touch them." Lao Zhang pointed to the sand in the distance and said: "Although the marching ants are resistant to high temperatures, they have time limits to resist high temperatures. Also, they are the most

Afraid of sandstorms and strong winds. As long as the wind and sand are together, their caves will be covered soon. In this way, the marching ants who return to the door can only work hard to open the hole. Often, this is fatal, and they will

I was sunburned to death because I stayed outside for more than time.”

"Now there is wind and sand, and the marching ants are busy clearing the entrance of their homes. At this time, they cannot gather. To be simple, use their habits. As long as we pass through the ant groove before the wind stops, there will be no

Danger."

Douyazi left and shouted, "What are you waiting for! Go away quickly!"
