How to do? Could it be that their scientific expedition is over like this
It's not going forward, not going back, and it's still a day's journey from the destination, but it's just like this, how do you get back
Some people suggested to go back and reorganize first, and some people said to wait and see if the camels would come back.
"Guide, what do you think we should do now?" Senior Zhou Qiang asked him.
"Keep walking, if you want to go to the center of the imperial city, otherwise you can only wait three months, and the weather is not suitable for you to enter the desert."
"But there's no water, how do we get back..."
Cheng Luo stood up and said, "We've already come here. If we go back to rectify, we'll miss a long time. The guide is right. In a few days, there will be dust storms, and we may not be able to come here again. Going back now is not a matter of coming again, it means giving up on this scientific expedition. But without water, we can't hold on at all. However, it is really unwilling to give up now."
Everyone's discussion stopped, either giving up or moving forward, only these two options were left. It's just that both options are hard.
"Guide, is there any way to get water again?" Professor Wu asked Que Qiu.
Que Qiu nodded and said: "If you survive today, to the place you mentioned, there is a puddle about two kilometers away, and the water will only come out in the middle of the night, or drink camel blood."
"As expected of the most famous guide, I know a lot." Another teacher praised. This money is not wasted!
"Well, let's be patient today, we have found a small bottle of water in our backpack, divide it up, go over there, and the guide will take us to find water." Professor Wu said firmly.
When everyone heard Professor Wu say this, there was no other objection. Maybe those camels could come back
Because of the lack of four camels, a few people and two people rode a camel instead, and the speed of the team slowed down. Everyone no longer had the excitement of first arriving in the desert. Until noon, everyone was disgraced and their lips were chapped. , The sun is poisonous, and the body cannot be exposed, so it is easy to get sunburned, so I can only wear a coat, wear sand-proof glasses, and walk around.
"Thirsty... I'm really thirsty." A teacher was lying on the camel's back, weak, and the half bottle of water was finished in one sip.
The older Professor Wu tilted his body and fell off the camel's back.
Que Qiu, who was beside him, jumped down immediately and went to see if Professor Wu had any problems.
Professor Wu seems to have some symptoms of heat stroke, and because of the constant sweating of the sun, he urgently needs to replenish water. He is older than the others in the pair, and the symptoms of dehydration first appeared on his body.
The scorching sun was scorching everyone in the desert, and the sand under her body could heat eggs to the same temperature. Cheng Luo hurriedly took the insulated sleeping pad in the tent and spread it on the ground. A small pergola was built with cloth covering materials and parasols to shield Professor Wu from the sun.
"The professor has to drink water," Cheng Luo said.
But now I can't find a drop of water, what should I do
Que Qiu took out the dagger from the back of his waist and walked towards the camel team, "There is no other way but to drink camel blood." If he had to, he wouldn't do it. Every camel is a valuable asset and a guarantee for them to get out of the desert. For every missing camel, they are one more point of danger.
