Chapter 812: Only the Sound Is Heard

The sunrise in the Sahara is beautiful.

Choose a place on the highest sand dune to watch the sunrise. The panoramic view allows people to see the rapid changes in the color of the sand dunes, from black to red, and then from yellow to white, like an animation effect rendered frame by frame.

Moreover, this light change has a kind of solemn power. The noisy voices just now were suppressed in an instant, and only a silence remained between heaven and earth.

It felt like coming to an alien planet.

Unlike the rapid sunrise, sunset is a slow process.

Because only when the sun completely falls will the red glow of the sunset be evaporated.

This usually lasts for half an hour before the sky and the earth will completely lose their color.

Bifang lit the bonfire, and it became the only light in the distance, drilling out a stubborn corner in the darkness and dispelling the severe cold.

The flame burned quietly, without the crackling sound of ordinary firewood being burned. It can be seen that what was burning was a completely different kind of fuel. If you get closer, you can find that it is some compressed small cylinders like biomass particle boards.

"Camel feces is the most perfect fuel. Thanks to the special structure of camels, camel feces is almost free of water, and with the characteristics of hay, it becomes an excellent fuel."

Camels are extremely thirst-resistant and can lose 30-40% of their body weight without any harm.

In comparison, if the human body loses 2% of water, the mouth and tongue will become dry; if it loses 5% of water, it will become irritable; if it loses 10% of water, it will have symptoms of dehydration; if it loses 15% of water, it will become comatose, and when it loses 20% of water, it will be life-threatening.

This bug-like ability is very rare in the entire natural world, and its appearance is naturally not out of thin air.

There are many very thin and tortuous ducts in the nose of camels. Usually, the ducts are moistened by liquid. When the body lacks water, the ducts immediately stop secreting liquid and form a layer of hard skin on the surface of the ducts, which absorbs the exhaled water without losing it outside the body; when inhaling, the water in the hard skin can be sent back to the body.

It is not like other animals that will turn water into urine and excrete it soon after drinking it. On the contrary, it will adjust the water absorption speed according to its own situation and control its urination.

Drinking too much water will make you unable to hold back and go to the toilet, but this does not exist in camels.

The urine it excretes is concentrated, but it does not suffer from uremia; the feces are all granular, and they can be burned directly after a little cooling and drying, but they do not cause constipation. Even the resistance of red blood cells to osmotic dissolution is much stronger than that of cattle and horses, so there will not be much biological impact when the plasma is dehydrated due to lack of water.

In addition, there are changes in body temperature, heat insulation, and strong kidney function. Water is repeatedly circulated and utilized in the body, so it can resist thirst.

"In fact, the feces of most herbivorous animals are very good fuel. Even if some are not as dry as camel feces, you can crush them and spread them on stones and wait for them to dry. The whole process will not take long. In about an hour, you can get excellent quality and effective fuel."

"The most important thing is that the feces of many herbivorous animals do not have a bad smell. This is related to their food composition and digestive tract flora in their bodies. With herbivorous and long digestive systems, and a large number of intestinal flora and rich flora, it is not easy to have a bad smell, like cows and elephants."

"It even smells like grass, which may reduce the physiological discomfort for many people."

Any qualified survivor who has received basic training will not have too much rebellious psychology towards feces.

On the contrary, the more proficient in survival, the more joyful you will feel when you encounter these feces.

Because it means that there are animals nearby, you may be able to report a meal tonight, or you can use it as fuel, bait, etc.

In the most extreme environment, you can even try to squeeze out a trace of water from it.

[Good fellow, what kind of devil capitalist is this? He doesn't give food to eat, but he still wants to make it poop! ]

[It only goes out, not in, right? (dog head)]

Bifang roasted the fire, feeling the warmth brought by the flame, relaxing all the fatigue of the day, making people drowsy.

He threw six golden scorpions into the fire, which was the result of his digging for a quarter of an hour.

When the skin was slightly crispy, Bifang picked it out of the fire with a dagger, wiped off the dust and put it in his mouth to chew.

The scorpion that just came out of the fire was extremely hot. Although it was hot, it also dispelled a lot of the coldness of the Sahara night.

"In desert areas, food is also very easy to rot and spoil. If you do not dehydrate any stored food thoroughly, once it is opened, you should eat it all at once, or reseal it and store it in a cool place."

"Although the Sahara itself does not have many microorganisms due to its special environment, the food itself does exist. Moisture and high temperature will make them multiply wildly, and the food will soon spoil."

"In addition, overheating will make people lose their appetite, so there is no need to force them to eat during the day. High-protein foods such as scorpions will increase the body's heat production, accelerate water loss, and the digestion process also requires a lot of water."

"If you are short of water, don't eat these insects. It's best to reduce your intake and eat some water-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables."

The scorpion tastes very good, or rather, most insects have the same taste and taste crispy. Because the scorpion is big enough, Bifang even tastes a hint of meat, adding a hint of oily fragrance.

"Local people believe that fire can dispel evil spirits, but in my opinion, its most practical effect is to prevent animals from approaching rashly."

With some fruits, Bi Fang filled his stomach half full and became more sleepy. After briefly chatting with the audience, he turned off the live broadcast and got into the sand pit.

Bi Fang lay alone on the sand and looked up at the stars, feeling that it was like a blanket inlaid with crystals. Wrapped in it, accompanied by the longing of the fire and the smell of grass in the air, he fell asleep unknowingly.

When Bi Fang woke up again, he was awakened by a sound similar to a girl's cry.

The live broadcast room was opened simultaneously, and many viewers who were time-lagged and still in broad daylight poured in. They were all startled when they heard the strange cry.

[Fuck, what’s that sound? 】

[A woman was killed? 】

[Is it time for the hero Fang Shen to save the beauty again? 】

"No, it's just a wolf howling."

As an experienced survival master, Bifang directly recognized the animal that made the cry without making any comparisons and judgments.

"Desert wolves are small in size and their calls are very different from normal wolves. It sounds like a woman's cry, but different. Night is the peak time for their activity, so we need to be more careful."

Bi Fang climbed out of the sand pit. As soon as he came out, the sand pit collapsed and most of it was submerged.

This is one of the shortcomings of the sand pit. Although it is easy to make, it is also easy to destroy it when entering and exiting.

Looking at the extinguished bonfire, Bi Fang tried to relight it.

"It's getting daylight, so we're rekindling the fire, hoping it will do some good."

As the fire grew stronger, the howling of wolves in the distance subsided, but Bi Fang still did not dare to be careless and waited together with the audience in the live broadcast room.

The night evaporated very slowly in the struggle with the wolves whose faces were only heard but not seen.

It was not until early morning that the movement of the wolves completely disappeared, and the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

Bi Fang was a little tired without a good rest, but if he thought about it carefully, what could be more exciting and fun than a night in the Sahara?

"It's just dawn, let's continue on our way."

Bi Fang stood up, patted the dust on his butt, cleaned up the traces of the place, pulled the reins of the camel beside him, stepped on the stirrups in the morning light, turned over, and left quickly.
