Survival male god

Chapter 263 Sandstorm strikes
It's more than 300 meters, so it's nearly five miles.

According to Chen Jing's foot strength, if he walked all the way, it might not take him half an hour.

But at the moment, he naturally couldn't rush to look for Nao Shizi to reward him.

Digging for water is really tiring. No matter what, we have to wait until tonight.

Chen Jing really didn't want to move!

"There's a lot of sediment in the water, but I swear, this is the most enjoyable time I've ever had drinking water in my life."

"Maybe only in the desert can you feel the preciousness of water resources. It's not easy!"

Like a dead tree in a dry land, being nourished by the rain, Chen Jing felt as if he had been reborn.

From hell to heaven, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that.

"The groundwater in the desert is pure natural and pollution-free, so you can drink it with confidence."

"But it's better to filter it. There are a lot of impurities in it."

"If there is no charcoal, filtration is also very simple. Throw some stones at the bottom of the pit, then spread fine sand and wait for 10 minutes. After they settle, the water on top will become particularly clear."

"It's better to have charcoal. A layer of charcoal can not only absorb impurities but also eliminate odors."

"Over the past two days, my body has been sweating a lot and stained with wind and dust. It feels like my whole body is wrapped in a mud shell and I can't breathe."

"After the broadcast, I need to clean my body. Let's rest for a while and eat something!"

Of the gerbils I caught before going to bed in the morning, there were still four left to eat, so I could go to bed just in time.

Chen Jing still didn't want to travel at night. Generally speaking, it was better to rest at night than during the day. This was determined by biological habits. If you rest well at night, you will be more energetic during the day.

What's more, digging this well almost exhausted all his remaining strength. If he didn't rest, he would really be unable to hold on.

The four roasted and cold gerbils really didn't taste very good. Chen Jing ate them very reluctantly, but he swallowed them all.

After eating, he looked into the well and saw that the part that had seeped out had become quite clear. Chen Jing went down carefully, drank some more, and couldn't help but smack his lips.

"It's great. The water resources here are very rich, but the groundwater is mobile. It may not be here at all times. It can be dug out now, but it may not be possible in a few months."

"That's why, every once in a while, the indigenous people in the desert have to get on their camels and go out in search of water."

"Cherish this moment!"

"Now go find some firewood to make a fire, and show everyone the power of tinder like carbon cloth."

The surrounding vegetation is mostly shrubs and herbs, and the material is flammable but burns quickly.

Chen Jing came back with a lot, and he estimated that he could burn it for a few hours.

The tool for making fire is still the drill wood from yesterday. This thing can be reused.

Drill one hole to the bottom or change to another hole.

Pulling and pulling, Chen Jing quickly rubbed the wooden pole, and soon, sparks fell on the carbon cloth that had been arranged in advance.

There was no need for Chen Jing to maintain it. Red sparks visible to the naked eye spread on the black carbon cloth.

Chen Jing held the burning charcoal cloth and placed it on the haystack. He blew it gently, and thick smoke instantly rose. Soon, the fire illuminated the surrounding three feet.

"See, this is carbon cloth, one of the best tinders in the world. It only needs a spark, and it can give you light back."

Chen Jing put away the remaining carbon cloth with a rather proud expression.

【"It's really awesome!"

"But if I offer my lighter, how should you respond?"

"Ha ha……"

"You are not having fun upstairs, bringing a lighter is not hardcore at all!"

"You are a hard core, if you have the ability, go to the Sahara Desert now and have fun with the anchor!"

"Death-defying, right?"]

Chen Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a chat, why are we still arguing?"

"There is no need to engage in hard-core survival. Everyone really likes camping adventures, or is willing to develop outdoor live broadcasting as a career. There is no harm in learning these things."

"Some skills have been used for hundreds or thousands of years without any problem, because many of these experiences have been passed down from ancient times."

"For example, drilling wood to make fire. Tens of thousands of years ago, our Homo sapiens ancestors used this method to make fire."

"This world has always existed, nature has always existed, and humankind's exploration of heaven and earth will never stop."

"In other words, even if you can't use these survival skills, it doesn't mean that our descendants won't be able to use them, right?"

"I want to spread this knowledge and skills as much as possible, and eventually make them widely known, so that our descendants can rely on these means of survival to get out of the city's cages and shackles. It is also a very meaningful thing."

"I hope that more and more people can learn about wilderness survival through various channels. We don't have to, but we have to put the pattern on the public screen!"

"But to be honest, I don't have such a big plan. Do you know why I want to be so hard-core?"

"First, I thought about those stupid outdoor anchors who used to sell dog meat like sheep and dog meat, but they were able to attract huge fans. I have to open everyone's eyes. Isn't hardcore survival more interesting than driving express delivery?"

"So if I do it well, I will definitely make money."

"The second reason is not convenient to talk about, so I won't talk about it, ha~"

Chen Jing made a few casual remarks. He definitely couldn't talk about the system.

After chatting for a while, Chen Jing kept the system rewards in mind, so he decided to go to bed early, planning to get up early tomorrow and set out to search immediately.

Turning off the equipment, Chen Jing washed his clothes in the dark at night, including the headscarf that had been wet with urine, and then took a shower.

After doing this, he dug a new layer of soil and poured as much sewage out of the well as possible so that he could drink clean water when he got up early tomorrow morning.

The only pity is that until now, he still does not have a container that can be used to hold water.

He was thinking about burning a clay pot with clay, but he quickly gave up the idea.

The surrounding vegetation and other fuels could not reach the temperature required for firing, and the texture of the sand was not very good either.

But in the end, he thought of a way.

Use the cactus pillar, cut off the sharp thorns, hollow out the stem flesh, and make it into a tube shape so that at least [-] ml of water can be filled inside.

Although the solution in the plant cells will mix with clean water due to osmotic pressure, this also has another benefit.

That is, the alkaloids in the cactus stem meat are diluted by fresh water, but after drinking the water, you can still chew the cactus to get some water again.

The more Chen Jing thought about it, the more he felt that he was a genius.

Thinking about it carefully, even among the serious wilderness survival experts in the previous life, none of them seemed to have used this method before. It was considered the first of its kind.

After letting the fire burn brightly again, Chen Jing huddled next to the well, used his backpack as a pillow, covered it with hay, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Chen Jing woke up.

His sleep quality has always been excellent. Since practicing the ancient method of Baduanjin, five or six hours of deep sleep is equivalent to eight or nine hours of sleep before.

I looked at it and saw that it was only five o'clock, but I still couldn't see my fingers.

When I raised my head, for the first time, I couldn't see the North Star. It was obscured by invisible clouds.

This also means that he is currently unable to determine the direction. "We can only wait until the sky becomes brighter. It's really strange!"

Chen Jing put his hands behind his head and stayed like this for another two hours.

The sky turned white, and he turned on the device and started a new day of live broadcast.

When his figure appeared in front of the audience, people discovered that he was holding a huge fairy pillar in his hand, and he was still using the tip of the stick to pull out the stem meat inside.

["Isn't there water? Why are you eating the cactus pillar again?"

"Has the water dried up?"

"No, maybe you're lonely?"

"I've tried cucumbers before, but this is my first time with fairy pillars..."

"People can't, at least they shouldn't."

"The barrage is so outrageous!"

"Seriously, this looks like a container."

"A bold guess is that it is used to hold water."]

Chen Jing glanced at the barrage and told everything he had thought of yesterday.

"There is no other way. The conditions are difficult, so we can only use our creativity to make this thing. We will set off soon. While the temperature is not high, we must find the next place that can provide shade."

The outer skin of the Immortal Pillar is relatively tough and not easily damaged. As for the seal, just cut off a piece to block it.

In this way, Chen Jing finished the water bottle three times, five times and two times, and cleaned it several times. After it felt almost done, he filled it with water and was ready to get up and leave.

"To be honest, it took more than two hours yesterday to find such a treasure with water."

"If it weren't for the lack of food resources around, I would really want to stay here and never leave."

"It's a pity that it doesn't work. I have to keep moving forward. No one can survive in the desert with just water."

"This water is enough for me to drink for a day, let's go!"

Chen Jing found the right direction and embarked on the journey forward.

Southwest, 350 meters.

This is the system’s standard reward location. Chen Jing doesn’t know what it will be?
Food, tools?
Or a scrapped car or a thatched hut left by herdsmen?

In short, no matter what it is, it will definitely come in handy for him right now.

And what is certain is that it should be something that already exists in the desert. Otherwise, if you find it during the live broadcast, wouldn't you be cheating?

On top of such details, he believed that with the magical power of the system, there would never be any mistakes.

More than 2000 meters, in terrain like the desert, is basically a straight line distance.

Chen Jing had been paying attention. After walking for about half an hour, he began to slow down, and even the system sent a reminder that the reward was nearby.

On the surface, Chen Jing had to pretend as if nothing had happened, but in fact his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.

However, before Chen Jing could find the reward items, a sudden strong wind aroused his alertness.

Looking up, Chen Jing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The audience didn't know why and asked questions one after another.

Chen Jing had a thought in his mind and pointed the camera at the sky.

In the picture, the sky above the desert is covered by clouds, and the sun is looming, making the former appear with golden edges.

The howling wind stirred up a lot of gravel, which hit the lens like filaments.

Chen Jing's face was extremely gloomy.

"It's been dry here for a long time. If I didn't see any clouds last night, I should have realized that the weather had changed."

"Low pressure and desert hot air collide, and the temperature imbalance causes wind flow. Strong winds push the temperature downwards and clouds accumulate, which in turn causes the cold air flow to sink, coupled with a large amount of sand sources on the land."

"These conditions are all key factors in forming extreme weather in desert areas."

"A sandstorm is coming!"

After hearing Chen Jing's last few words, even the audience with the slowest reaction time now understood the seriousness of the matter and why Chen Jing's face looked so ugly.

Because there was almost no cover around him.

"When it comes to sandstorms, everyone should be familiar with it, because cities in northern my country are often plagued by sandstorms."

"It will cause serious harm. In addition to reducing environmental visibility, the germs and particles floating in the air can also damage the human respiratory tract and gastrointestinal mucosa."

"But in a real desert area, the harm of powerful sandstorms is a hundred times greater. Strong winds with speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour can easily roll up the yellow sand in the sky and bury everything on the ground."

"At this time, it's not just respiratory damage. If it's serious, it can cause lung damage, suffocation, blindness, etc..."

"If you are in a strong sandstorm and you have no shelter, lose your direction, and are buried by the sand, the chance of being trapped and losing your life is as high as 50.00%."

"The climate conditions in the Sahara are extreme, and long-term high temperatures will cause unpredictable situations. Sandstorms can come quickly and violently without any warning."

"You don't know when it's going to start and you don't know when it's going to end."

"The point is, I'm at my wits end now, no shelter, no food, just some water stored in the cactus."

"I'm in big trouble. I don't know if I can survive. I hope it's just a false alarm, but..."

Having said this, even Chen Jing himself smiled bitterly and shook his head, because in these short 2 minutes, the wind became stronger and the sky darkened visibly to the naked eye.

The sun was almost completely blocked by clouds and misty yellow sand floating in the sky.

Looking back, I saw on the broad horizon, a huge wave of yellow sand that was hundreds of feet high, covering the sky and covering the sun, rushing towards me at an extremely terrifying speed.

"Damn, what a bad luck!"

Chen Jing cursed in a nondescript manner. This was only his third day in the Sahara. He had just escaped from the drinking water crisis, and this land presented him with a great gift.

He lamented once again whether his high luck value was all in vain.

But think about it, if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
"In this case, no matter the back slope or the front slope, it is useless. The terrifying sandstorm will hit everything here indiscriminately."

"I just hope that the situation is not as bad as I imagined, so I can just stay here and take a gamble!"

The audience could see that Chen Jing was really panicked.

The use of the word gamble shows that everything happening now is beyond this man's control.

However, just when the former was about to lie down on the spot and face the judgment of fate.

Not far ahead, a bright object caught Chen Jing's attention.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Dromedary Wild Camel X1 (died due to exceeding the collection time)]

Chen Jing frowned at first, and then thought of something. As if grasping a life-saving straw, he rushed towards the shining place.

At the same time, he shouted:

"Brothers, there is help!"
