Chapter 1229 Difficulties

Zhang Zian carefully looked at this excel sheet. Apart from the depressing average fuel consumption data, there were also surprising bright spots.

The bright spot is that the No. 1 car that Nabali and Salim’s uncle and nephew took was clearly loaded with two people, but the consumption of fuel and drinking water was much lower than that of other cars. Barry has rich experience in driving in the desert, and the accelerator is just right. Second, Bedouins are used to high temperatures and rarely turn on the air conditioner. They don’t need to replenish water without sweating, which saves fuel and water.

However, the oil and water saved by the uncle and nephew are not enough for others to squander.

Taking a closer look at the data of other people, the fat man Xiao Tianyu is the most afraid of heat, and his drinking water consumption is the largest. According to the data analysis, his drinking water consumption is twice the average daily drinking water consumption of ordinary people, and the fuel consumption is the largest. It's Du Xuetao... The ruthless facts have proved that the statistics of the members of the magic stick team are relatively average, and the members of the scientific expedition team are even more lagging behind.

Zhang Zian looked at Wei Kang and Li Pete. As captains, they had to come up with a solution, and they couldn't let the situation continue to deteriorate.

There is a surplus of oil and water at present, but if the development continues like this, no one can guarantee the future situation, especially after the thrilling scene of the No. 10 car on the sand ridge.

His opinion is very clear. The safety of the team members must be the first priority. If the situation worsens, whether it is the pure energy of the universe or the scientific research target, they must stand back. Never regret it when it's impossible.

They were talking standing next to an off-road vehicle, the laptop on the hood, which was already freezing cold during the day when it was almost melting.

In just half a day, the drastic temperature difference and thermal expansion and contraction have already caused slight cracks in the paint on the car skin.

Lippett tapped the hood with his knuckles and said, "Starting tomorrow, drive early in the morning and late at night, hurry as much as possible, stop and rest from 11:00 noon to 3:00 pm, and avoid the hottest time of the day."

From 11:00 noon, the sun was shining on the desert almost vertically, the temperature reached the highest peak of the day, the car was as hot as a furnace, the car air conditioner could not be stopped at all, the engine was overloaded, the fuel consumption was huge and it was prone to accidents. Faults, strong reflections also affect driving, barely driving at this time is not worth the loss.

Wei Kang nodded, agreed with the plan, and added: "Let me also mention that the scene in car No. When encountering a higher sand dune for the first time, everyone parks the car, climbs up the dune on foot, sees the situation on the backside of the dune with my own eyes, then walks along the sand ridge, looking for a place with a high sand density and a gentle slope to climb over, rather than going far away.”

Before, no matter who was driving over the sand ridge, his heart was in his throat, because he could not see the situation behind the sand dunes, and he was not mentally prepared for the height drop. It's understandable to dare to step on the accelerator-to the extreme, the back of the dunes may even be a cliff.

Wei Kang's proposal is for stability, but there are advantages and disadvantages, and the ensuing problem is that it will greatly slow down the schedule.

After careful consideration, Li Pete agreed to Wei Kang's suggestion. After all, even slowing down the schedule is better than a car that is in danger like the No. 10 car, and may even break down and be reimbursed completely, which will delay time and affect morale.

Zhang Zian didn't interrupt. He also felt that Wei Kang's proposal was a double-edged sword. The consumption rate of diesel and supplies was already not optimistic. Slowing down the schedule would definitely aggravate this worry, but there was no other way, safety first , if the supplies are really unable to last, the bottom line is for all to evacuate the desert safely.

The food consumption is normal, don't worry, the prepared food is a bit redundant, after all, it is so hot during the day, no one has any appetite.

As for the consumption of drinking water, it is acceptable at present. If you avoid driving during the hottest time at noon in the future, the amount of drinking water should decrease. Even if it does not decrease but maintains the current level, it does not matter.

I am sorry to say that to the Egyptians, but discarded materials such as empty mineral water bottles and cans are thrown away casually. In order to reduce the load on the off-road vehicles as much as possible, we cannot become civilized tourists for the time being. Anyway, the yellow sand will soon bury everything. .

In the center of the camp, the team members have lit the camping stove and started cooking dinner. Although they are all instant meals, the aroma still whets the appetites of people who haven't eaten much during the day.

They sat around the camping fire talking and laughing, talking about the experience of the day, talking about what they had seen and heard in the past, and temporarily put the difficulties of the day behind them.

"Don't tell anyone about supplies for the time being, so as not to affect morale." Wei Kang glanced at the fire and warned Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian nodded, "I know."

"Okay, go ahead and settle Fina and Femas properly," Wei Kang said.

Zhang Zian guessed that Wei Kang and Li Pete had other matters to discuss, so he left.

He had just walked a few steps when he heard a girl screaming from somewhere in the camp.

"ah!"

The voice was crisp and sharp, and it was heard far away in the silent and windless desert.

It's He He!

Whether it was Zhang Zian, Wei Kang, Lipett or the team members who were resting, when they heard the screams, they all dropped what they were doing, jumped up like a spring, and ran towards the direction of the screams.

Why scream?

What happened?

Everyone is full of doubts, but saving people is the most important thing, save people first.

"wtf..."

Someone saw a blurry black figure jump out of a tent like lightning, faster than everyone else, but the night was too dark to see what it was, only that it was some kind of animal.

This black shadow was very athletic, and when he encountered a tent on the road, he jumped over it without any detours. The members of Li Pete's team were dumbfounded.

Of course, that's Famous.

Li Pete's team members knew that Zhang Zian brought a cat and a dog into the desert, but the German shepherds were all similar in appearance. They didn't know that this dog was the famous actor of "War Dogs"!

It is very difficult to run at high speed in the desert, and it is especially easy to get stuck in the sand when landing after jumping. The speed of Flymax is not as fast as usual, but it still throws people far away and rushes to the place where the screams come from. The team has specially reserved places for women to use conveniently.

He He's face turned pale, and she was tremblingly held in the arms of the female detective, who kept comforting her and wiping her tears.

A white skull was half buried in the sand, and a desert centipede crawled out of the black eye socket.
