Yellow sand.
The group of people rode camels and lined up in a long line. Their speed was not fast.
Hu Bayi and Qin Feng walked side by side in front. Looking at the Haloxylon ammosum growing out of the yellow sand, they seemed to have thought of something.
"Old Qin, I've thought of a way to get water in the desert.”
"When I was a soldier in the army, I learned this method of getting water in the desert. I dug down from the roots of this Haloxylon grass. About three to five meters down, I could find wet sand and salt water.”
" Dig a sand pit more than a meter deep and cover it with a layer of plastic cloth. The wet sand below will condense into water droplets when it touches the plastic cloth. After simple sunlight evaporating and filtering, a small amount of fresh water can be obtained.”
"Although it's not much, it can save lives.”
Qin Feng nodded and said,"You didn't become a company commander for nothing."”
After praising him, he poured a bucket of cold water on him."But if we keep going forward, I'm afraid we won't be able to see the Haloxylon Grass for long.”
"Why else do you think it's called the Black Desert? The so-called Black Desert is a land of death, without any life!”
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Hu Ba fell silent.
It seemed that he had thought too simply. It seemed that he had not experienced the true horror of the desert!
They continued to move forward.
Due to the windy season, the group soon encountered a strong wind and had no choice but to stop and rest on the spot.
Although it was not as strong as the black sandstorm from before, this gale made it difficult for people to move. Hu Bayi, Fatty, and the others had no choice but to dig sand and build a sand dune barrier.
"Old Qin, the wind has been blowing for a whole day! When will it stop! Are we going to be buried here?"
Fatty said loudly as he dug the sand.
"That depends on the will of the heavens.”
Qin Feng continued," Moreover, the most terrifying thing in the desert is not the strong wind and black sandstorm, nor is it the army ants from before. What's truly terrifying is dehydration!”
"That's right. Once the lack of water causes dehydration, it's easy to hallucinate. If you encounter a mirage, you might get lost in the desert and die of thirst.”
Xue Li Yang explained.
It was at this moment that Ye Yixin came to her side and patted Xue Li Yang's shoulder. He said shyly,"
"We're going to do something behind the sand dunes over there," said Shirley Yang.
Qin Feng naturally knew what they were going to do. Hu Bayi and Fatty also knew.
Hu Bayi was about to speak, but Qin Feng took the lead and said,"Wait!"
"Take this!"
Two paper figurines appeared in Qin Feng's palm.
Xue Li Yang and Ye Yixin's faces turned slightly red. They did not say anything after receiving the paper figurines and hurriedly ran to the sand dunes.
After the two of them left, Fatty looked at Qin Feng and said,"Old Qin, this paper figurine is a treasure. How can you use it to wipe them?"
"Fatty, your broken mouth!"
Hu Ba glared at Fatty. Old Qin had good intentions, so how could he say this out loud?
Qin Feng could finally tell that they thought that he gave them this paper figurine to wipe after they were done!
Looking at Xue Li Yang and Ye Yixin's expressions, it seemed like they were thinking the same thing.
"I gave it to them to save their lives. Can't you guys be a little purer?”
Qin Feng cursed.
Fatty didn't believe him. He smiled and said," Old Qin, stop pretending. We understand that you care about women. It's just peeing. What danger can there be? You still need a life-saving talisman."”
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"Help, someone come quickly!"
Just as Fatty finished speaking, he heard Xue Li Yang and Ye Yixin's cries for help from behind the sand dune.
Hu Bayi and Fatty looked at each other.
"Not good, something really happened!"
"Even Old Qin's fortune-telling isn't as accurate as yours!”
"What are you waiting for? Go and take a look!”
A group of people hurried over.
He realized that half of Xue Li Yang and Ye Yixin's bodies had sunk into the sand, as if they had encountered a quicksand pit.
"Don't go over, everyone be careful, this is quicksand!”As Hu Ba spoke, he hurriedly stopped Sa Di Peng and Chu Jian, who were about to go over to save them.
Everyone did not dare to get close, afraid that they would accidentally fall into it. They were all extremely anxious.
Both of them were sinking slowly, but not at a fast speed.
"Old Qin, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and save him!”
Fatty shouted at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng only said,"Don't worry, they're fine."”
As Qin Feng's voice faded, the two people who had originally fallen actually began to slowly rise up from the sand dune.
Seeing such a magical scene, everyone was still a little stunned.
Soon, he discovered the mystery.
It turned out that behind the two of them, there was a paper figurine supporting them and lifting them up.
The paper figurine was stronger than he had imagined. It quickly pulled the two of them out of the sandpit.
"This paper figurine is really used to save lives!”
Fatty looked at it and could not help but mutter.
Qin Feng couldn't help but glance at Fatty. Fatty was so frightened that he shivered.
"Qin... Brother Qin, thank…Thank you!"
Ye Yi Xin calmed down and thanked Qin Feng.
However, when she thought about how she had misunderstood Qin Feng's intention of giving the paper figurine to her, she felt very embarrassed when she almost used it to wipe it.
"Thank you. I'll return this to you."
Xue Li Yang said with a slightly red face as she handed the paper figurine back to Qin Feng.
"You guys should settle it first. Just don't use the paper figurines for anything else.”
Qin Feng indifferently said.
The two girls blushed even more and ran to the other side to settle it. Fortunately, nothing happened this time.
After the two of them returned, they handed the paper figurine back to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and called back the two paper humans.
Qin Feng thought to himself that it was fortunate that something had happened beforehand. If something had happened afterwards, these two paper figurines would probably have lost their effectiveness when they came into contact with filth.
"Old Hu, this quicksand is too dangerous. I have to put up a sign there to tell the people who come later that there is quicksand there!”Fatty said seriously.
"Fatty, you're good. You're enlightened!" Hu Ba said.”
"That's not quicksand."
Qin Feng and Xue Li Yang suddenly spoke at the same time.
Everyone looked at the two of them.
Qin Feng indicated to Xue Li Yang.
"When I was halfway down, I stepped on a rock!”
"I-I think I stepped on it too!" Ye Yixin said.
"Are you sure you stepped on a rock?!" Hu Bayi quickly said.”
"That's right." Xue Li Yang nodded and said with certainty," I think that might be the stone tomb buried under the desert!”
"Are you talking about the stone tomb that the expedition team found in the notebook?”Fatty asked excitedly.
Xue Li nodded as she looked at Qin Feng.
Fatty also looked at Qin Feng and asked,"Old Qin, did you already know that there was a stone tomb here? That's why you gave them paper figurines to protect themselves!”
"I was just guessing. Now I'm sure.”
Qin Feng casually said.
Immediately, everyone hurriedly got up and went to the place where the two had fallen to check.
