Chapter 265: The Power of the Desert
"Hurry to find a place to go back to the lee, let the camels form a circle and tie the tents on it, otherwise we will all be buried in the sand."
"Come back quickly, and don't want it if you blow it away."
"Then what we eat in the future will starve to death."
"That's much stronger than being blown away by a sandstorm."
On the fifth day, the group had already entered the heart of the desert. A sudden sandstorm allowed Mu Yang to truly appreciate the true power of the desert. It turned out that the scorching sun and the coldness of the night were just the gentlest caress of the desert, and the sandstorm was the real temper of the desert.
The sand was flying all over the sky, and it hurt so hard that Mu Yang and the others could feel the pain even if they wrapped the scarf on their faces. Moreover, they were choked and couldn't breathe even if they were choked.
Finally, in the chaos, everyone found a large sand dune and pulled the few remaining camels beside them and squatted down. Then several people put up tarpaulins to cover themselves, curled up, and waited for the disaster to pass.
The sand storm was storm and the tent cloth made by the sand storm was slammed. Only by holding it tightly could a few people keep the last cover.
Two hours later, the sandstorm finally passed, and the world became quiet again, dead silent, just like the previous desert, without any sound.
But when you look at it, you will find that many of the original sand dunes have changed, some of which have been cut off by the strong wind, while a new sand dunes have risen on the original flat ground.
Several people pushed away the tent cloth covering their bodies with difficulty and came out from under the pile of sand. Mu Yang shook his body hard and tried his best to let the sand leave his body.
"Oh my God, we are still alive, it's so scary." Hu Tiehua said with lingering fear after she came out from below.
"You are just beginning to see the power of the desert." Ji Bingyan said coldly.
"I just realized that there is anything more dangerous than this? I just felt that if we didn't hide behind the sand dunes, the wind could blow us into the sky." Hu Tiehua said.
"Yes. Just now, let's see how we are now, and we will be even more sad next." Ji Bingyan said.
There were originally a team of fifteen or sixteen livestock, but now there were only four camels and two horses left. These four camels were not the six camels that Mu Yang used taming techniques, because they were not used for the time being. The six camels had just followed the last part of the camel caravan, and in the chaos just now, they were probably blown away. However, the dark horse was following Mu Yang.
Originally, there were six people in the team, Mu Yang, Hu Tiehua, Ji Bingyan, and three servants, but now there are only five people left, and the other servant can never be found.
"No need to look for it anymore. You are buried in the desert. Even if you find it, you won't be able to survive." Ji Bingyan said.
When I packed my luggage, I found that there was only enough food and water for five days left, but there was nothing like tents and other items, leaving only the tent cloth just now. It was already afternoon. Mu Yang proposed to rest here for one night and set off tomorrow.
Mu Yang ran to the top of the largest sand dune nearby and looked into the distance. He hoped to find his camel caravan. If he could find those camels, at least he could get some supplies. Even if he took out some things, there would be an explanation.
With space, he will naturally not let people die of thirst and starvation, but if he acts too weird, there is no explanation. He thinks it is not feasible. At least when he is at the end of his life, Mu Yang doesn't want others to know his extraordinary abilities.
But when searching nearby, the camel team was not found, and Mu Yang returned to the team in disappointment.
"Do you want to find a scattered camel? Don't expect to survive under the sandstorm and give us five days of food rations. I'm already thanking God." Ji Bingyan said. He handed Mu Yang a piece of dry cake, which is the food rations tonight.
Everyone continued to move forward, and the road was dusty. Four days had passed, and there was not much food and water left. Ji Bingyan also found several places where water might exist, but they all returned disappointed. Looking at everyone's disappointed and desperate expressions, and looking at their lips that were somewhat cracked due to thirst, Mu Yang couldn't help but want to take out the water in his space to let everyone drink it.
At night, the team was stationed in front of the sand dunes, which was afraid of being buried by the flowing sand dunes. Three people sat around the camels, using the temperature of the livestock, so that they could be slightly warmer and not so difficult at night.
"It has been very saving. In addition to the daily necessities, the water for livestock has long stopped. If we can't find water tomorrow, we will cut off the water." Ji Bingyan said.
"What should I do?" Hu Tiehua licked her chapped lips.
"Drinking camel urine, I have been collecting it for the past two days, so that we can hold on for a while, and I believe we will always find the water source." Ji Bingyan said.
"Oh my God, no, do you think we all want to drink camel's urine?" Hu Tiehua shouted hoarsely.
"Is there anything wrong with this? If you want to live, you have to drink it, or you will wait for death. There is no third choice." Ji Bingyan said coldly.
"Maybe there will be a miracle." Mu Yang said, in fact, Mu Yang was talking about his own spatial ability.
"I never believe that there are miracles in this world. After I walked this road, the two water sources we looked for on the road were gone, and there was no third water source nearby, so we could only survive by urinating a camel." Ji Bingyan said.
"Why are those water sources no longer there? Could it be that they were destroyed by Chu Liuxiang's enemies?" Hu Tiehua said.
"In the desert, water sources are flowing and may disappear at any time. This is very common and cruel. Sometimes, because of this, many people will die." Ji Bingyan said.
Hu Tiehua hung his head helplessly. He was tired and thirsty, and he was no longer willing to talk more.
Mu Yang looked at everyone and made up his mind that if he didn't find the water source tomorrow, he would take out the water and food in the space. It would be weird, it would be much better than drinking camel urine.
The wind at night was so harsh that a few people curled up together and didn't sleep soundly.
"Did you hear any sound?" Suddenly Mu Yang came out from under the tarp. He saw Ji Bingyan coming out, and asked.
"I heard it too, but I can't tell it. It may be too far away." Ji Bingyan replied.
This guy Hu Tiehua slept the most and did not wake up at all.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, and very regular sounds, the sound of crawling sand, drifting with the wind and getting closer and closer.
