Chapter 198: Snakes in the Desert (Subscription Request)
The lizard is very small, probably less than 20 grams.

The lizards in the desert are not big, after all, their small size means they need less water.

If you want to cut open its belly, you have to use a dagger. The engineer shovel is simply not capable of making such fine cuts. I'll try using a machete later.

Meng Chao's backpack is woven very tightly, so you don't have to worry about losing the little lizard when you put it in.
After putting the lizard away, he chased in the direction the snake had gone, activating the communication function of his watch as he did so.

"Maybe you can hear me? I saw a snake over here. I'm going to chase it and kill it. You stay where you are and don't move."

After he finished speaking, Meng Chao soon heard An Yifei's voice.

"I heard it very clearly."

"Oppa, be careful and stay safe." Lee Ji-eun also expressed concern.

She also knew that there were many poisonous snakes in the desert and was worried that Meng Chao had encountered a poisonous snake.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention and be back soon." As he said that, Meng Chao quickened his pace.

This night vision device is thermal imaging, which is stronger than infrared and low-light ones.

Adjust it to the incandescent color band, which is very convenient to use at night.

Meng Chao chased after the snake at the fastest speed. It obviously sensed him and sped up.

Meng Chao's body is very heavy and it is easy for him to sink, so his speed is more easily affected.

Chasing after it at the fastest speed, Meng Chao chopped at the snake's head.

After the venomous snake's head was cut off, it still sprayed venom.

Using a shovel to scoop the venomous snake's head off, Meng Chao picked up the snake's body on the ground and pulled hard to dislocate its bones so that it would not twist.

After bleeding all the way, Meng Chao returned to the crowd.

"Done. Caught a small lizard and a snake weighing more than a pound. Pretty lucky."

Everyone was happy to hear about Meng Chao's achievements.

In addition to water being hard to find in the desert, food is also extremely hard to find.

No one expected that in just half an hour, Meng Chao had harvested a lizard and a snake.

After putting the snake in the backpack, Meng Chao led the way. There was still one kilometer left, and he had to complete the task early.

When there was still a little time left, Meng Chao and the others heard the prompt.

"Congratulations to Group 2 for being the first to complete the challenge. The rewards will be delivered later."

Two minutes later, Meng Chao and his team also completed the task and walked three kilometers.

Eight minutes later, one group also completed it successfully.

However, when one group was completed, Meng Chao and his team, who had rested for eight minutes, had already received their rewards.

Everyone wrapped a headscarf on their heads, which is a must in the desert.

After everyone drank some water, they continued on their way.

No one drinks much and is worried about not having enough water.

Every drop of water in the desert is precious and cannot be wasted.

In the desert challenges that Meng Chao had watched before, the big guys would collect their urine.

Initially, the water content in urine is as high as 95%, but as a person becomes dehydrated, the water content will continue to decrease.

Therefore, only urine collected before dehydration can be drunk.

But it is obviously unnecessary now. The program team has provided them with a large bucket of water and will definitely not let them fall into such a situation.

You may be dehydrated, but it won't be serious enough to harm your body.

If a person is severely dehydrated, it will cause damage to the liver and kidneys.

We continued to head towards the oasis, but we were not walking very fast along the way.

It can be said that it gets slower as time goes on.

However, Meng Chao had no intention of stopping, because their current situation was not suitable for stopping and they had to keep moving forward.

Because the temperature was low, there was no firewood to burn if we stopped, so there was no way to spend the night. If we kept on walking, our body temperature could be maintained and we would not be frozen.

After walking for an hour, Meng Chao asked everyone to stop and rest for a while.

"I'm so tired. Walking in the desert is too tiring. Every step I take sinks into the sand." Liu Yan hammered her calves with her hands, causing a ripple.

"Yeah, it feels more tiring than climbing a mountain, as if someone is pulling you every step of the way." Lee Ji-eun also complained.

However, her physical fitness has improved significantly in the past ten days, but she is still a little uncomfortable walking in the desert.

Everyone else was in good shape, especially Zhang Jin, who looked relaxed.

"I seem to hear a sound, Meng Chao, did you hear it?"

Just as he was about to set off, Zhang Jin looked not far away.

"That shouldn't be the sound of a sandstorm, right?" Zhang Jin looked at Meng Chao with concern.

You can't see anything in this dark night, which makes people feel very insecure.

In the desert, the most terrifying thing is the sandstorm.

Once encountered, it will be a test of life and death.

Meng Chao walked to Zhang Jin's position, looked in the direction, and then smiled happily.

"It's not a sandstorm, it's a gerbil, and there's some plants over there."

"I'll go over and see if I can catch the gerbil."

After saying that, Meng Chao walked towards that direction.

However, the gerbil has very good hearing. After hearing the sound of Meng Chao walking, it disappeared all of a sudden.

Meng Chao did not stop and continued to walk quickly towards that direction.

He also wanted to see if there were any other plants in this area.

Plants like cactus are also edible, so you must not let them go if you come across them.

After quickly approaching, Meng Chao found several camel grasses.

Camel grass is a relatively common plant in the desert, and there must be some moisture where they grow.

This is a low-lying area, so if it rains, some rainwater will accumulate.

But there were only seven or eight camel grass plants, and no water could be found when digging.

Meng Chao looked around, trying to find where the gerbil was hiding.

He really couldn't imagine that there were gerbils living in such a place.

Can these few camel grasses feed gerbils?

Soon, Meng Chao found a small hole.

There is no doubt that this small hole is the gerbil's nest.

I have an engineer shovel in my hand, how can I still spoil it?
"I found the gerbil, but it hid in a hole. We need to dig and see if we can dig it out." Meng Chao informed others through his watch.

It is very convenient to have this function on the watch.

"Got it. We will wait for you here. Come back early." An Yifei replied.

After all, there are snakes in the desert, and she is still very afraid of snakes.

In such a dark environment, it is impossible to detect a snake approaching.

This kind of fear can only be felt when you are in it.

Fortunately, there were three other people around her.

If she were alone, she would definitely ask Meng Chao to come back immediately instead of letting him continue digging for gerbils.

"Everyone, pay attention. If you hear any noise, call Meng Chao back." Zhang Jin quickly reminded.

Because he was also worried that poisonous snakes or scorpions would approach them or even attack them.
