Chapter 1294: Looking for Water Sources

When Zhang Zian started to apply cold oil, the elves would rather get under the car to enjoy the coolness than stay in the car to enjoy this pungent smell, because he didn't apply it casually, but on the middle of the face, on the forehead , temples, some suspicious acupuncture points on the neck, etc., all of which were covered, and the face was almost covered with cold oil.

Needless to say, after applying this cooling oil, I immediately felt a trace of coolness seep into the body through the pores of the skin, and the strong mint smell went straight to the brain along the nasal cavity. But that's all.

In addition, he has also increased the amount of water he drinks. Even when he does not drink water, he will still have a sip of water in his mouth. This is a trick learned from Nabari, which can relieve the thirst of the mouth and throat.

At this time, he should calm down and recuperate, but he really can't calm down. He always counts the consumption of drinking water unconsciously, and then becomes anxious.

Since he decided to stay here to recuperate, he began to collect his own urine and filter it. It is possible to save a little water—especially his own, because cat urine is already concentrated enough, even if it is filtered, it cannot be filtered out. How many.

As Xiao Tianyu complained, the filtered water does have a strange smell, but so far there is nothing to complain about.

In this way, he stayed here for another day. When the sun rose again the next morning, his heat stroke symptoms had been greatly relieved. It was hard to say whether it was the miraculous effect of the cold oil or his previous physical exercise. Well done, maybe a bit of both.

Nevertheless, a very serious problem was before him-there was not enough water.

After careful calculation, the amount of existing water is so small that even if the minimum standard of living is used to limit drinking water, it may not be possible to get out of the desert, not to mention that in order to prevent heat stroke again, the body still needs water urgently.

The scientific expedition team had definitely left the scheduled rendezvous point, and they took it for granted that he was dead, and there was no need to wait any longer.

The scientific expedition team has a satellite phone, but he doesn't have one, and he can't get in touch if he wants to.

If you want to leave the desert alive, you can only rely on yourself.

When he was resting yesterday, his mind was not idle, and he kept thinking about various ways to find water in the desert.

Digging down in the desert with moss and Achnatherum splendens, there is a certain chance to dig wet sand, but there are no green plants nearby. If you dig in a random place, it will be useless except to waste energy and drinking water.

People trapped in the desert sometimes dig a sand pit and spread a layer of plastic sheeting on the sand pit so that the water vapor evaporated in the sand at night can condense on the plastic sheet instead of escaping into the air. In the early morning, some dew may collect on the underside of the plastic sheeting. But the premise of this method is that the sand should not be too dry, otherwise it is really a drop in the bucket.

Zhang Zian decided that when night came again, he would use the latter method to try to collect dew, no matter how little it was, it would be useful.

Although the elves saw that his face was better, but he was always frowning, guessing that he was worried about drinking water.

They all know that water is the source of life, especially the series of events that happened after entering the desert, which made them realize this deeply, but there is no good way.

"Quack! My uncle suggested, use your drone to search in the sky, maybe you can find an oasis or something, or you can meet Li Pitt and the others, maybe they are also nearby, borrow some water from them." Richard Said.

Zhang Zian shook his head, "Li Pete and the others can't count on them. There are six of them and two cars. They don't even have enough supplies for themselves. The situation may not be much better than mine. If you really want to meet them, you have to be careful about us. The water was taken away... But, you said drones, it reminds me of something."

He remembered that when the pyramids fell, the black dot soaring over the Sea of ​​Devils might be a falcon or a vulture. Unfortunately, it was caught in the downdraft, and probably died long ago.

The point is, where did that falcon or vulture come from?

Birds of prey are different from creatures such as sand cats and fennec foxes. Birds basically have rectums.

Urine will be excreted, it will not be concentrated and concentrated again, so birds of prey cannot live in extremely dry deserts, they need branches and leaves to build nests, and they cannot be dead trees that have dried up for an unknown number of years in the sea of ​​​​devils. This means that where raptors can be seen, there may often be oases within their flight range.

This also has corresponding problems. Large raptors like vultures can sometimes fly hundreds of kilometers a day. Falcons have a shorter flight distance, but tens of kilometers are no problem. This range is too large. I want to find their oasis based on this difficult.

Anyway, it was a clue after all.

He told everyone his thoughts and asked everyone to pay attention to the sky when driving. If you see small black spots again, you must remind him.

"Quack! If it weren't for my uncle, you idiot would never have thought of this possibility!" Richard unceremoniously took the credit for himself.

If the oasis can be found, all problems will be solved.

This place is out of the magnetic interference range of the Sea of ​​Devils. He raised the drone into the sky, let the camera look at the surroundings 360 degrees, and then asked the elves to pay attention to the images on the remote control screen. Once any suspicious objects are found in the sky, they will Remind him immediately.

He continued to drive on the road, heading north-east along the line between this place and the Siwa Oasis.

Around noon, he stopped to rest, used yesterday's old method to pile sand on the car body to insulate it, took back the drone to charge the battery, and then continued to set off at three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Look! Is that a black spot?"

While driving, Vladimir suddenly pointed to the screen and said.

Staring at the remote control screen all the time is also tiring, so the elves take turns, and now it happens to be Vladimir's turn.

The rest of the elves, who were resting, became refreshed after hearing the words, and they gathered in front of the screen one after another.

In order to save fuel, Zhang Zian did not slam on the brakes, but let the car slide slowly and stop automatically.

He picked up the remote control, saw the black dot that Vladimir said, and then manipulated the drone to point the lens in that direction and adjust the focus to the maximum.

What is certain is that it is indeed a bird, but the characteristics such as size and species cannot be seen clearly because it is too far away.

"Can you catch up?" Old Cha asked worriedly, "Will it be too far?"

Birds can fly freely in the air, but they often need to bypass obstacles when driving in the desert. This bird is so far away from them, it is likely to be lost halfway, and it has no meaning other than wasting fuel.

"Always try!"

Zhang Zian looked at the sky, roughly estimated the position of the sun, decisively started the car again, and chased after the black spot.
