Chapter 79 A few difficult days
The archaeological team is ready to leave Xiye Ancient City.
An Liman pointed to the front and said: "Ahead is the real black desert. It is a place for the devil. Do you really want to go?"
Zhou Suyi said: "Of course, we have come this far, we can't give up halfway!"
Fatty Wang pulled Hu Bayi, "Say, Lao Hu, didn't we agree before that we would take them for a walk in the desert and then go back, but now, why are they going deeper and deeper?"
Hu Bayi glanced at Fatty Wang and said, "I mean, Fatty, Miss Yang has treated us like this all the way. We took their money and deceived them. In your heart, can you live with it?"
Fatty Wang scratched his head, "Don't tell me, if you really go back like this and deceive others, I will feel really sorry. Although Miss Yang is a foreign friend, she is a really nice person and very courageous. She dares to rush into danger." In front of us big men, I, Fatty Wang, have never conquered anyone, but this Miss Yang can be counted as half."
"Come on, why did you let others open it!"
The archaeological team set out on the road, traveling lightly this time and bringing a lot of drinking water.
However, as she walked, Zhou Suyi realized something was wrong.
The desert here is darker and hotter.
After walking for a long time, my mouth felt dry.
However, with the experience of the previous days, everyone saves water.
"Damn, it's too hot during the day!" Zhou Suyi kept wiping the sweat from her forehead.
If you don't replenish water in this situation, people will collapse quickly.
Not even if you want to save water.
【first day】
The game gives fast forward.
Zhou Suyi felt that her condition was worse than yesterday.
But there was still plenty of food and water.
"Hey, I feel so hot when I sit at home and watch games."
"Indeed, watching the game makes me want to drink some ice-cold Sprite to quench my thirst."
"This game is really amazing. It really makes full use of various somatosensory devices. Last time I was thirsty for two days in the desert, and the feeling was really unpleasant."
…
Even if they are just watching the live broadcast, netizens have a feeling of empathy, which is enough to show how real this game is.
【the next day】
Zhou Suyi felt that her condition was getting worse, and the water in the kettle was only half full.
"How many more days will it take?" She swallowed her saliva, but found that her mouth was very dry and there was no saliva at all.
Hu Bayi shook his head, "We can't be sure, we can only determine the approximate location. Miss Yang, if this continues, we can survive for three days at most. If we still can't find it in three days, we may not be able to make it back home!"
"or……"
Hu Bayi didn't say anything further, but the meaning was obvious.
That is to go back home, and the remaining supplies can barely last until the ancient city of Xiye.
If we leave for two more days, we may not be able to go back.
"No, we can't go back. We have gone through so many hardships along the way. If we go back now, wouldn't we give up halfway!" Zhou Suyi was determined.
She didn't realize that after these days of playing games and experiencing nearly three hundred deaths, her mind had become extremely firm.
I will no longer back down because of a small setback.
This is not just in the game, but actually affects her character in a subtle way, making her more confident and powerful.
This is also the magic of this game.
When Hu Ba saw Zhou Suyi was so determined, he stopped trying to persuade her.
【The third day】
Everyone has chapped lips, extremely poor skin, and some lack of energy.
I have consumed more water than in the past few days.
A few days ago, I could occasionally see some small animals in the desert, but now I can't see anything.
Even the camels were listless, their heads drooped, and their walking speed was much slower.
"No, if we keep going like this, we won't be able to hold on for long. It's too hot during the day, which consumes a lot of energy and water!" Zhou Suyi thought in her mind.
Based on her previous experience, she had a hunch that this journey might also take seven days.
However, the desert here is obviously more difficult than the previous one.
Three days can equal the feeling of the previous six days.
If this continues, they will be able to hold on for another day or two at most.
"According to previous experience, the desert dungeon is just too much. It requires endurance and skills. The previous earth tornado should not be repeated a second time. That would be boring. Then this level is probably just walking through the desert. !”
"However, the temperature in this black desert is too high during the day and the consumption is too great. According to theory, it is definitely impossible to survive seven days!"
Zhou Suyi was psychologically analyzing, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Yes, the temperature is high during the day, so you can go at night!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Suyi immediately told everyone her thoughts.
Hu Bayi immediately agreed.
No one else had any objections either.
Zhou Suyi shared the desert survival information she had consulted before.
Immediately, everyone found a place to rest near a sand dune, which could provide some shade from the sun. Then they dug a hole directly and buried themselves in the sand to reduce the evaporation of water.
At the same time, I made a simple stand and put my clothes on it to protect myself from the sun.
I also learned from the bridge section on TV, digging a hole in the ground, covering it with a rainproof cloth, placing a kettle on it to cool down, and using the water vapor emitted from the ground to collect fresh water.
Surprisingly, some water was actually collected through this method.
Although the quantity is pitifully small, it is better than nothing.
Now even a drop of water is extremely precious to them.
"Miss Yang, you are really amazing, you have great skills and know a lot!" Ye Yixin's face was pale and her lips were chapped. She looked at Zhou Suyi with some admiration.
She was secretly upset that she was too disappointing.
She and Professor Chen were in the worst condition.
Zhou Suyi was very happy when she was praised by her.
[Day 4]
When they set out, the sun was about to set and the temperature had dropped.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large.
It is very hot during the day and very cold at night.
People sometimes ride camels and get off the 11th road when they are cold.
This method is indeed useful. The water consumption is not as fast as in the previous few days, but everyone's water has run out.
[Day 5]
Some people's water bottles are no longer full.
Ye Yixin sat on the camel, shaky and had some symptoms of dehydration.
Professor Chen was not in a good condition either, and his expression was a little dazed.
Hu Bayi and his team could only share some of the water with others.
"Anliman, is there no other place to get water nearby?" Zhou Suyi asked!
Anliman said: "Yes, I heard that the water of Zidu Dark River will never dry up. As long as you find Zidu Dark River, you can find water!"
"Then where is Zidu Dark River?" Zhou Suyi asked happily.
But Anliman shook his head, "I don't know. Zidu Dark River changed its course a long time ago. Now we can only find the old river channel!"
"Damn, what the hell are you talking about!" Zhou Suyi resisted the urge to hit someone.
The hope that had just ignited in her heart was shattered in an instant.
