The situation was very awkward.
Ye Yixin held the water bottle. She didn't know whether to accept it or not.
Someone was young and impetuous, and he couldn't stand Wu Liang's attitude. This sentence was obviously mocking them, and Professor Chen was an old man.
Chu Jian said," We've asked Old Master An Liman. There will be a place to replenish water ahead. This water is enough to support us to get there. You don't want to drink water yourself. Don't be sarcastic."”
Fatty stood up and said angrily," Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to my brother like that?" Is my brother wrong? We came to the desert to explore, not to travel. Can't you see how much water we've consumed in the past few days?”
"Lord Fatty can't stand you being like this. You don't have the ability, but you're still stubborn.”
"This is only the outer area of the desert. If we can't adapt to the desert now, can we adapt after we enter the Black Desert?”
Old Hu stopped Fatty and said lightly," I didn't want to say it at first, but everyone asked me to be the leader. I hope everyone can change their previous habits.”
"Fatty's words are not pleasant to hear, but it's also the truth. Once there's no water in the desert, it's equivalent to losing your life.”
"We're doing this for everyone's own good. After all, we all have a common goal, which is to successfully complete this expedition.”
Professor Chen saw that something was wrong and hurriedly said,"Comrade Hu is right. Our water supply is indeed depleting too quickly. In the future, we should try to avoid things like washing our hands.”
An Liman took a sip of the horse milk wine and said,"Don't quarrel. We're all friends.”
"Old man, tell me, who's right and who's wrong?" Fatty asked unhappily.”
"It doesn't matter if you go back in a few days," An Liman said helplessly. There was no water supply in the Black Desert, not even Haloxylon Grass. At that time, everyone would die of thirst!”
Wu Liang smiled." Old Hu, Fatty, there's no need to argue. They only have one life, and it's their own." Even if we run out of water, I can bring you back alive.”
Xue Li Yang said," Speak properly. You're clearly being kind, yet you have to be so sarcastic."”
"Wow, you're not bad, little girl. You're pretty good at Chinese. You even know how to use idioms.”
Facing Wu Liang's teasing, Xue Li Yang patted him and handed him a piece of jerky.
"Eat something."
Wu Liang took the jerky and said," Tell Professor Chen and Xiao Ye that they don't need to save their water. If their bodies can't support it, they'll be a burden to the team."”
The gathering ended with Wu Liang finding fault, and everyone went to rest.
Actually, Wu Liang could have spoken nicely, but he did not like the attitude of these people. Did they really think that Old Hu was a nanny?
Of course, it was only right for her to be a nanny. They had already charged her.
Late at night, Xue Li Yang stuck her head out and saw Wu Liang looking up at the starry sky.
"I really like the night sky in the desert. The starry sky here is very beautiful."”
"I also like the starry sky in the desert, because you're under it."”
The sudden words of love made Xue Li Yang smile, as if she was enjoying it.
"Do you often talk to girls like this?" Xue Li Yang asked.”
Wu Liang said," Of course not. Look at how good I am at talking. The night sky is beautiful tonight. Why don't you let me sleep in your tent?"”
"Good night!"
Xue Li Yang retracted her head back into the tent, leaving behind only this sentence and Wu Liang who was still looking up at the starry sky.
"I stopped and walked along the way, following the traces of the youth drifting.”
"The moment before I stepped out of the train station, I hesitated.”
"I can't help but laugh at the fear of being close to home, it's still inevitable"
At this moment, Wu Liang thought of this song and couldn't help but hum it. His singing wasn't as good as a professional singer, but it sounded pretty good. Any layman would say that he sang well…
The melody was very pleasant. Xue Li Yang poked her head out again."What's the name of this song?"
The corner of Wu Liang's mouth twitched, and then he spat out two words,""Get lost!"
Then, Xue Li Yang went back to rest.
Wu Liang cultivated for a long time. He had reached the peak of the second realm, but there was still some distance between them. He only entered the tent to rest when he felt sleepy.
At daybreak, a new day began. Everyone continued to set off.
In the blink of an eye, another two days had passed. Everyone found a place to replenish their water supply and then continued their journey.
Another three days passed, and the journey was peaceful. The climate in the depths of the desert was even worse. Xiao Ye's condition was better than Professor Chen's. The consumption of water reminded everyone of what Wu Liang had said. Water was life in the desert.
It wasn't that they didn't want to bring more water, but each of them had a camel. There were also five camels that were specially used to bring water and dry rations. Other than some essential supplies and tools, they basically brought only water. However, they couldn't hold off the large number of people.
According to the plan, these camels would be able to carry enough supplies. There was no need to get dozens of camels to carry supplies alone.
These few days, Wu Liang rarely spoke. He had been silently cultivating to pass the boring time.
Unless Old Hu and Fatty came to talk to him, or Xue Li Yang took the initiative to talk to him, he basically became a mute.
When An Liman saw Xiao Ye secretly wet the towel with water and handed it to Professor Chen to wipe his face, his gaze stopped on Xue Li Yang, who was taking photos at the side.
"Take as many photos as you can while you're still alive," muttered An Liman.”
Fatty saw it too, but he didn't say anything. Professor Chen was indeed not in a good state.
It was considered special treatment. After all, he was already in his sixties. As long as he did not go overboard, everyone would turn a blind eye.
In the desert, when people were in a desperate situation, it didn't matter what they drank. As long as they could replenish their water, this was the law of survival in the desert.
Shirley Yang continued to take photos. She liked to record these beautiful scenes. This was one of her hobbies.
"The desert is beautiful, isn't it?" Old Hu asked.”
Xue Li Yang said," It's too beautiful. I've seen a lot of it these days, but I still feel that it's very beautiful."”
"Behind the beauty, there are often hidden dangers.”
"Is there a problem?" Xue Li Yang asked.”
"I'm not worried about food, but water is used up very quickly," said Old Hu. Uncle Anman had some horse milk wine. When they were thirsty, they could drink a mouthful. Drinking water was to replenish their body's water, not to drink water recklessly because they were thirsty.”
"I understand. I'll explain it to everyone later."”
"In this environment, even if you keep drinking water at noon, you'll still feel thirsty," said Old Hu. I asked Uncle An Liman, and he said that at this rate, our water source won't last long. Perhaps in a few days, we will have to kill camels and drink their blood before we die in the desert.”
"How long until the next replenishment point?" asked Shirley Yang.”
" According to the current progress, it'll take at least five days," Old Hu said." After all, Professor Chen and Xiao Ye's bodies can't take it anymore. We can't estimate it in detail."”
After dinner, Xue Li Yang explained the situation, while An Liman was still trying to persuade Old Hu to return.
Old Hu was the leader of this team and knew that the road ahead would be even more dangerous. However, An Liman had underestimated the determination of these people.
This team might be lacking in many other aspects, but they didn't lack determination. This was something that was commendable.
Wu Liang admired these people, admired the persistence of these "old and weak soldiers".
In order to conserve energy, everyone rested early and tried to maintain their condition.
The next morning, Wu Liang woke up very early and looked at the distant sky.
Feeling the movement in the tent next door, Xue Li Yang walked out of the tent and saw Wu Liang standing there. She first took a photo of Wu Liang and then went to his side.
Following Wu Liang's gaze, he took another photo.
A fiery red morning glow hung on the horizon like a celestial gate, separating the two worlds of immortals and mortals. It was beautiful and enchanting, and blood dyed the sky like a dream.
"It's so beautiful. I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful scene in the desert.”
Wu Liang said calmly," This isn't a good sign. The setting sun is like blood, and blood stains the sky. A true disaster is coming." You'd better wake everyone up and hurry on your way. Otherwise, we can only wait for death.”
P.S. I'm asking for a collection. I'm asking for everything. Thank you, brothers.
