Chapter 2856 Water Crisis

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the vast desert, Lin Rui and others are now dressed up like any ordinary Tuareg people.  They all use a wide turban cloth tied on the top of their heads to block the sun and cover their faces to prevent the wind and sand from pouring into their mouths and noses.

    At this time, although the sun was close to setting, the heat was still evaporating from the desert, and it was still so hot that people wanted to take off all their clothes.

    Many people like the sun, so they are used to calling sunny weather good weather.  Lin Rui was no exception. On St. Keizer Island, as long as there was sunshine, he couldn't help but take off his clothes, bask in the sun, and drink a drink mixed with tropical juice on the beach.  As a mercenary for several years, he has seen all kinds of suns, some as fierce as fire, some as gentle as lamps, some as confused and gray as his grandfather's eyes, and some as colorful as in foreign countries.  A girl's face.

    But he had never seen a sun like this, the sun in the Sahara Desert.

    Although it is the same sun, when it reaches this large desert, it suddenly becomes fierce and poisonous, as if it is going to burn the entire desert.  There was no wind, no wind at all, and no sound at all. Under the scorching sun, all life on the desert had entered a state of fainting.

    Lin Rui felt that the clothes on his body were wet and then dry, and then dry and wet again, as if even the last moisture in his body was being baked out.  After leaving the battlefield at Black Camel Mountain, he fell into an almost semi-conscious state throughout the afternoon.  The scorching heat makes people sleepy.  But the sweat stung his wounds again, and only the severe pain reminded him that he was still alive, living under the scorching sunset of the Sahara Desert.

    But it didn¡¯t take long for the heat to disappear, and what followed was a biting chill, and the wind blew on the face like a knife.  The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is so big that it makes people want to hide behind the hump.  Several people sat on the camels, which felt like they were riding a boat.

    The camels were still walking step by step. It was a desert, a swamp, cold or hotit seemed to have no effect on them. They were already part of the desert.

    They got off the camels and rested together.  The tailor divided the remaining water and food into five equal parts and whispered: "There is only so much water. You can drink it in one go now, or you can keep it. Anyway, this little water can only last for a day or two at most."  . My opinion is to drink water at night, when the sun is shining brightly during the day. Once you drink it, you will start sweating immediately."

    "Even if we don't drink water, we will still sweat. And if we don't drink water during the day, it will directly lead to dehydration. So we still have to drink the water we should drink." Lin Rui took the kettle from his hand and took a sip.  , "Our current position should be safe. Is there any news from the actuary?"

    "The communicator is out of power, and the solar charging panel was lost when we evacuated. We don't know their situation now. The GPS locator still has the last bar of power." Yelena whispered, "We can't keep it on.  It can only be used to a limited extent, and the rest of the time we have to rely on the compass and map to walk. With luck, we can walk another day and reach the border of Burkina Faso, where there should be water."

    Everyone was silent for a while, Yelena said the best outcome, but she didn't say the worst.  But even if she didn't say it, everyone knew it in their hearts.

    The next day, before the sun had fully risen, they hit the road again.  But soon they were under the sweltering sun again.

    "Damn it, in this weather, we must drink a lot of water, otherwise the body will become dehydrated. But we may not be able to hold on to the water we currently have." Scarface said, weighing the kettle in his hand.

    "Maybe our luck is not too bad, look over there." Lin Rui licked his cracked lips and pointed not far away.

    This place seems to be a piece of yellow sand, just like any other place in the desert. The only thing that stands out is a tree.  This unnamed tree grew beside a pile of weathered rocks and had long since withered.

    The tailor looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but ask, "What's there?"

    Lin Rui moved his chapped lips and whispered: "Water!"

    Scarface pulled off the mask on his face and said, "But where is the water, and why can't I see it? Could it be that not only my arms are injured, but my eyes are also damaged?"

    He turned to Elena and said: "Viper, tell the truth, have you seen it?"

    Yelena pondered and said: "I heard from the Tuareg people before that there are many secret water sources in the desert, which are hidden under the surface of the earth."

    Lin Rui nodded and said, "Yes, the Tuareg people once said that there are many underground rivers under this desert, and they can even catch fish in the desert You see?Tree¡­¡±

    He looked at the tailor and wanted to speak, but before he could speak, the tailor could only shrug and said: "Don't look at me. I admit that as a Russian, I don't understand anything about this rotten desert, okay?" He touched his head and smiled.  He said: "I was originally very smart, but when I got here, I turned into a fool who didn't understand anything. It must be the damn African weather that made me faint from the heat."

    Lin Rui couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard my instructor Quentin talk about this kind of tree when I was training before. He said that in the desert, there must be an underground water source near this kind of tree."

    Yelena asked: "Is this what Quentin said?"

    "Of course that's not what he said. What he said was - remember this kind of tree for me. This thing can allow you damn maggots to find water in the sweltering desert and survive." He didn't say anything.  After that, he couldn't help but laugh.  Yelena and several other mercenaries also laughed.

    But they could not laugh for long - they spent more than two hours digging for the underground water source next to the tree, but there was not even a drop of water underground.

    Lin Rui was as stunned as a stone.

    Scarface wiped the sweat from his head and wanted to make a few jokes to make everyone laugh.  But seeing the look on Lin Rui's face, he thought of the upcoming crisis.  How could he tell?  Where can I still laugh?

    Yelena tried her best to soften her voice and said, "If you think about it again, is it possible that you made a mistake?"

    Lin Rui sat up with difficulty and said loudly: "Don't you trust me?"

    Yelena knew that he must be ten times more uncomfortable than anyone else at this moment, and she couldn't bear to say anything more, but Lin Rui suddenly seemed to soften, leaning against the dead tree.

    Scarface whispered, "The water source underground in the desert sometimes dries up suddenly, and sometimes changes its course suddenly. This is God's joke, and no one can do anything about it."

    Yelena nodded and said: "I know."

    Lin Rui looked at Yelena with some difficulty, and finally said in a low voice: "Don't blame me, I just"

    Yelena smiled and hugged his shoulders and said, "I know how you feel, I know" No water was found, and everyone's hearts were as heavy as lead.
