Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 295 Chapter 295 Extreme Cold, Tas Desert 5
Ye Fu jumped onto the plank without hesitation. She believed in Jiang Rong. At this time, she had to keep calm and cooperate with Jiang Rong to lead the whole team out of this quicksand area.

"be careful."

Jiang Rong nodded, and then walked forward alone.

The originally stiff yellow sand layer has been covered by quicksand, and the quicksand is not mixed with any frost. When you step on it, you can even feel the softness of the sand layer.

Jiang Rong took a wooden stick and used the method of clearing landmines to check the quicksand for the team behind. Fortunately, he walked out of the entire area and never encountered a quicksand pit again.

When Jiang Rong returned to the carriage, Ye Fu hugged him tightly.

"Don't worry, I'm safe."

Ye Fu hugged him, and finally let go of the heart that had been holding him all the time.

The team will continue to move forward. After walking out of the quicksand area, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but today was too much time. The sun went down at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, so the team could only rest in place. The magnetic field of the compass had not yet recovered, and everyone Don't dare to drive in the dark, for fear of being caught blind and walking into the quicksand pit.

There is some snow and bushes around the camp where we are stationed tonight. Dozens of argali have already rushed over to eat up the bushes. Ye Fu opened the jar to check the poisonous scorpions inside, but found that the poisonous scorpions were talking to each other. massacre.

Scorpions are carnivorous animals. They usually hunt mosquitoes, rats and ants for a living. Many times, they will also eat weak and sickly ones. Although Ye Fu provided them with minced meat, this does not change their nature of cannibalism.

After picking out the dead poisonous scorpion, Ye Fu threw another piece of fresh meat into it.

After the feeding was over, Ye Fu opened the door of the carriage and walked out. She found Jiang Rong who was comforting the mammoth. The two left the camp and went to the sand pile not far away.

Ye Fu took out the binoculars to check the situation in the distance. Two kilometers away, there was an unknown animal digging a hole, and above it, a snow eagle was staring at it. Suddenly, the snow eagle swooped down and grabbed the animal with its sharp claws The only unknown creature, the snow eagle, let out a triumphant cry when it took off.

Ye Fu took out two lollipops, peeled off the wrappers, and handed the strawberry flavored one to Jiang Rong's mouth.

Neither of them spoke, but enjoyed a rare quiet time.

There was a burst of fragrance from the camp, Ye Fu took out the compass and found that the magnetic field became more stable, but as soon as she moved her body, it became disordered again.

"It seems that there are indeed ores nearby."

Ye Fu picked up the binoculars and continued to look at the surrounding situation. On the endless desert, apart from a few isolated bushes, he could occasionally see a few snow eagles circling in the air.

"Let me see."

Jiang Rong took over the binoculars. With both hands in his coat pockets and candy in his mouth, he focused on observing the situation in the distance with the binoculars.

"There is a bush five kilometers away. You can go there tomorrow morning and cut some bushes. There is a row of earthen walls beside it."

"Why did I not see it?"

Jiang Rong hooked the corners of his lips, then picked up Ye Fu and handed her the telescope.

"If you look again now, you should be able to see it."

Ye Fu didn't believe in evil, took the binoculars, and this time she really saw the bushes five kilometers away, but now the sky is darker, and the distance is too late, so she can't see very clearly.

Is this the higher you stand, the farther you can see?

"Ye Fu, Jiang Rong, it's time to eat."

"Okay, got it."

In the camp, Fang Wei was calling for the two of them, Jiang Rong put Ye Fu down and looked at her funny.

"See clearly?"

"It's good to be tall, to be able to see scenery that we can't see."

Jiang Rong couldn't help laughing, "If you want to see the scenery, you are welcome to sit on my shoulder."

For some reason, Ye Fu couldn't help laughing when he thought of this scene. Seeing that she was in a good mood, Jiang Rong's brows and eyes softened a bit.

Back at the camp, the two of them told everyone about the bushes, and Ye Fu had already measured the direction of the journey tomorrow.

"The quicksand is really scary today, as if there is suction below, so the big two mammoths sank, if people fell, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Yeah, fortunately the quicksand flow is not serious."

Everyone has lingering fears about the sinking quicksand, and it will take several days to get out of the desert, and they don't know whether they will encounter this kind of danger again in the future.

"We'll have to walk another [-] kilometers tomorrow, otherwise we won't be able to get out of the desert within the planned time." Wan Tao held a half-end of a pencil, took out a notebook from his pocket, and began to record the route and the weather.

"There are still more than a hundred kilometers left, and we will arrive at Yuquan County. I remember that the industrial pillar of Yuquan County is Yuquan Wine, which is a kind of fruit wine. There used to be deserts here. Ten years ago, the desert near Yuquan County was gradually realized. When the soil was transformed, some fruits were planted, because the temperature difference between day and night was large, and the fruits were very sweet. In order to increase income, a winery was set up locally.”

Hearing what Liu Zhang said, everyone became interested.

"Then there should be a lot of fruit trees. Maybe there are still many people living in Yuquan County. After all, there has never been an earthquake here."

Ye Fu shook his head, "I remember Brother Long from Beiguang Base said that Mongolia Province has experienced a month of acid rain, and the county must have suffered a lot."

"Indeed, many people must have died in the county seat, but as long as the houses don't collapse, there should be many escaped people living there."

Yin Dongnan sat by the fire in silence, probably because he was timid due to being close to his hometown, and he was not in a good mood these two days.

"In fact, Yuquan County is still the hometown of copper mines. When I was very young, my father went to work in the mine for a year. After the copper mines were mined, the fruit was planted."

Yin Dongnan is quite familiar with Yuquan County, but after many years, he doesn't know what Yuquan County has become now.

"Apple, red bayberry, and hawthorn are the most grown in Yuquan County. The county is small, with a permanent population of only [-] to [-]. However, there are many wineries in the county. Every household here depends on fruit for their livelihood."

Fang Wei's eyes lit up when he heard that there were so many fruits.

"It would be great if I could dig a few fruit trees and leave. I don't know if there are any. Apples, red bayberry and hawthorn are all relatively cold-resistant fruit trees."

"Bringing a few fruit trees, wouldn't that add to the burden?" Fang Ming felt that Fang Wei was messing around.

"How can it add to the burden? So many livestock have to eat food and grass. If you take a few fruit trees away, you may be able to plant an orchard. The leaves can feed argali, moose, and fruits. We can exchange food with others. .”

Qi Yuan clapped his hands and applauded, "I agree, what Fang Wei said is great."

Wan Tao smiled, "Okay, when we get to Yuquan County, let's take a good rest, if there are fruit trees, we can dig a few and take them with us, we will be leaving Mongolia soon, we are actually very close to northern Xinjiang. "
