622 Wait Until I Take You Home 7

what to do? Could it be that their scientific research journey is over like this?

Now it's neither advancing nor retreating, there is still a day's footsteps away from the destination, but just like this, how come back?

Some people suggested going back to reorganize first, while others 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.

"Go on, if you want to go to the center of the imperial city, otherwise you will have to wait three months later, and the weather will not be suitable for you to enter the desert."

"But there is no water, how can we come back..."

Cheng Luo stood up and said: "We've come here already, we'll miss a long time if we go back to rectify and come back again, the guide is right, in a few days, there will be a dust storm, we may not be able to come here again, Going back now is not a question of coming back, it is tantamount to giving up this scientific expedition. But without water, we have no way to persevere. However, giving up now is really not reconciled."

Everyone's discussion stopped, either give up or move forward, only these two choices. It's just that both options are difficult.

"Guide, is there any way to get water again?" Professor Wu asked Que Qiu.

Que Qiu nodded and said, "If we make it through 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, he knows so much." Another teacher praised. This money is not wasted!

"Well, everyone, bear with it today. I found a small bottle of water in my backpack. I will share it. Over there, the guide will take us to find water." Professor Wu said decisively.

When everyone heard what Professor Wu said, there was no other objection. Maybe those camels could come back?

Because of the lack of four camels, a few people rode one camel instead of two, the speed of the team slowed down, and everyone no longer had the excitement of arriving in the desert for the first time. Until noon, everyone was ashamed and their lips were chapped. , the sun is very strong, and you can't expose your body, it is easy to get sunburned, so you can only wrap your coat and wear sand-proof glasses, walking around one after another.

"Thirsty... I'm really thirsty." A teacher was lying on the camel's back, weak, and the small half bottle of water was finished in just one sip for each person.

The older Professor Wu in front turned over and fell off the camel's back.

Que Qiu, who was next to him, immediately jumped down to check if Professor Wu was okay.

Professor Wu seems to be suffering from heat stroke, and he urgently needs to replenish water due to the constant sweating of his body due to exposure to the sun. He is older than everyone in the group, and the symptoms of dehydration first appeared from his body.

The scorching sun was in the sky, scorching everyone in this desert, and the sand under his body was as hot as boiling an egg, Cheng Luo quickly took the insulated sleeping mat from the tent and spread it on the ground, and then he and the senior two A small pergola was built with cloth covering materials and parasols to shield Professor Wu from the sun.

"The professor needs to drink water." Cheng Luo said.

But now I can't find a drop of water, what should I do?

Que Qiu pulled out the dagger from the back of his waist and walked towards the camel team, "I have no choice but to drink the camel's blood." He would not do that if he had to. Every camel is a valuable asset, and it is the guarantee for them to get out of the desert. For every camel missing, they were in greater danger.
