I've been frozen for 100 years

Chapter 175 Desert
"Zhang Yang! Don't run away..." Liu Kaizhen chased out with a few biochemical warriors. He kept hitting the cave wall and made his head and face covered with stone powder. He didn't look back when he saw me. Flying in mid-air, Liang Xiaolin yelled at a bio-soldier beside her, "Go back and call for someone! Fucking, send out all of us to chase after Zhang Yang..."

The biochemical warrior next to him promised and ran towards the direction of the valley laboratory, while Liu Kaizhen led the rest of the people in pursuit. Just as they ran away from the death cave, there was a loud noise from inside. The loud roar was mixed with the exclamation of Ice King Zi Bing'er.

When I heard Liu Kaizhen's words, my heart sank. If I just flew directly in the direction where Mo Yue and the others were, Liu Kaizhen and the others would definitely chase after me. Didn't I hear that they would all dispatch to kill me? Really poked a hornet's nest!Thinking of this, I turned around and flew southwest on purpose.

Flying forward for a few kilometers, I couldn't see Liu Kaizhen and the others running wildly in pursuit. I was relieved and turned around and flew towards the vast Populus euphratica forest.

"Zhang Yang! What's going on? How did they find you?" Liang Xiaolin asked me worriedly behind my back.

Only then did I tell her about the situation in the cave, and said: "I stabbed a hornet's nest this time, and those biochemical warriors in Liu Kai Town were desperately trying to get some X metal, but I snatched it ……hey-hey!"

"X Metal!" Liang Xiaolin lay on my back, and I clearly felt her body shake violently. I wondered, "Yeah, what's the matter? That thing is like mercury, and it can change its shape automatically. It's really never Haven't seen that thing? How do you know what it is?"

"No... I don't know!" Liang Xiaolin replied absent-mindedly, and it took a while before she said a word, but the wind was too strong in the air and I couldn't hear it clearly. I turned my head and asked loudly: "What did you say?"

Liang Xiaolin pinched me, put it close to my ear and said loudly: "I'm asking you about that X metal?"

"Gone……"

"It's gone? How could it be gone?" Liang Xiaolin screamed, her body trembling again.

"Yeah! It's gone... That thing got into my body for some reason! I'm also feeling uneasy! Have you heard of this thing?" I asked her suspiciously.

"I've never heard of it..." Liang Xiaolin fell silent after she said a word, and I stopped talking when I saw that her interest was fading, and hurried to the destination.

Twenty minutes later, they flew over Populus euphratica forest and joined Mo Yue and the others. As soon as they saw us coming back, the girls surrounded them, all with relieved expressions on their faces. I waved my hand and shouted: "Let's talk on the way, Let's hurry up!" Although I took a detour and gave Liu Kaizhen and the others a wrong direction, it is still not suitable to stay here for a long time to avoid accidents.

"Then what should we do with these things?" Mo Yue frowned while pointing at the things they packed up, and said, "This is the drinking water and food that little sister Xiaolin brought for us! Do you want to throw them away?"

I looked at a few big packages, and felt worried in my heart. I went over and fiddled with them. There were two big leather bags of drinking water, the rest were some rough grains and compressed food, and there was a big tent. I thought about it for a while. Xiang Xiang picked up the two large leather bags containing water, a large package of food, and the bundled tent and said, "You can't carry it, and I can only carry so much. Throw the rest away!"

The girls nodded, and I could tell the urgency of the matter from my dignified expression, where should I escape?I looked at a large Populus euphratica forest in the distance. If I were to go east, it would be hard to say whether I would meet Liu Kaizhen and the others. These bio-soldiers are very strong, and the Blood Orchid Sect has bio-soldiers who are good at flying like me , once they find our whereabouts, we will face a situation of eternal doom.

"Go to the desert!" After weighing it, I finally made a decision. We are now at the edge of the desert. If we walk along the edge, we can go around. In that way, the safety will be greatly improved, and we have enough food And drinking water, even if you cross the desert, there is no problem!Time was running out, so I picked up the big package without saying anything, and took Mo Yue, Xia Yuan, Zhang Xue, Su Mingrui, and Liang Xiaolin towards the desert.

Looking up, there is a lonely strong wind whimpering on the endless yellow sand. The sky is high, and the ground is deep, majestic and quiet.After walking for more than four hours, our group was far away from the Gobi, and we didn't see a single person, not even a zombie creature.I originally planned to walk along the edge of the desert, but the edge is twists and turns, and it is easy to get lost if you walk that way. In the end, we discussed and had to go straight across, which would be faster.As I was walking, I briefly told a few people what happened in the Death Cave. These things were really shocking, and the girls were stunned for a while, before Liang Xiaolin said: "This is the sea of ​​death. In addition to the death cave, another mysterious place that the free people of the Western Regions talk about..."

I nodded when I heard Liang Xiaolin's words, and Su Mingrui took over the words: "Zhang Yang, I suspect this is the Taklama Desert..."

"Is it the Taklama Desert?" I looked at the long yellow sand in front of me and frowned, and said, "That's really too bad. I thought this desert was easy to walk! The Taklama Desert is the largest in the country. And the desert!"

"Yes, and it's the second largest desert in the world, and it's also the most mysterious fluid desert in the world, known as the 'Sea of ​​Death' and 'a place where you can't get in or out'..." Su Mingrui's expression also changed. He became serious, looked at the endless yellow sand in the distance, sighed, and said: "The entire desert is about 400 kilometers long from east to west, more than 33 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers. If we don't get lost, we can walk It will take more than half a month to go out!"

"Is it more than 400 kilometers wide from north to south?" I frowned. We are heading straight north all the way now, but I don't know if it is the shortest crossing road. I murmured: "Could it be that we chose A wrong path..."

Liang Xiaolin sighed, and then said: "That's right! If we don't go this way, the Blood Orchid Sect will definitely catch us. Although the future is difficult, this choice is very correct in comparison!"

Mo Yue and the others nodded and agreed with Liang Xiaolin's statement. Su Mingrui said: "The temperature difference in the desert is very large, and since we have decided to take this road, we cannot turn back or change our direction at will. ! And, our food and water..."

Food and drinking water are exactly what I am worried about. What Su Mingrui said is correct. It is located in the Western Region itself. It is hot during the day and cold at night, and the climate is too extreme. No wonder someone sighed before: People with romantic dreams From the first day you step into the desert, you will find that the desert is a place that has nothing to do with wind and moon. All the impetuous turmoil in the city is purified into the purest belief in front of its wind and sand—to live.What we are thinking about at this time is how to survive in the desert and cross smoothly. If I can say it myself, it’s okay if I’m alone. I can fly over with my back on my back.

It’s okay to save some food and drinking water. What I’m worried about is the coming of night. It’s dusk now, and the setting sun has dyed the desert red with blood. Well, the desert is not as flat as imagined. The temperature at night is too low. After nightfall, I was worried that Mo Yue and the others would not be able to bear it, so I decided to find a suitable place to camp.There are many sand dunes in this desert, which are in the shape of feathers and fish scales. Under the strong wind in the evening, they are unpredictable, like a solid ocean. After walking for more than half an hour, we found a sand dune and pitched in a sheltered place. After getting out of the tent, we all hid inside to keep warm, preparing to spend the first night in the desert.

It is already very cold in the early winter season, and I feel that the temperature in the tent is more than ten degrees below zero. Each of them shared some food and drinking water to fill their stomachs, and they crowded together to rely on each other's body temperature for warmth. They are not cotton clothes, and there are not enough materials in this desert for our living and heating. The most important thing is that the wind and sand are too strong at night, and there is a small wind whistling outside the tent. Xia Yuan is afraid of this sound, so she curls up in my arms , occupying my whole embrace with Mo Yue.The wind outside the tent was so strong that I had to hold onto a corner of the tent with my hands for fear of being overturned by the strong wind.

In such a cold weather, even the two mutated boa constrictors, Daqing and Xiaoqing, were entangled with each other, lazily burying their bodies in the sand, as if it would make them warmer.

"Everyone go to bed! We'll be on our way as soon as the sun breaks tomorrow..." I sighed and looked at the five people in the dark, all of them were frowning, shivering from the cold, Xia Yuan Nose and face were flushed from the cold, and it didn't take long for the few of them to huddle together before snoring slightly.

I didn't close my eyes when all the girls fell asleep, and I didn't feel sleepy at all. I looked at my watch. It was already midnight, and the wind and sand outside were gradually subsiding, but the temperature was even lower. We put it in the tent. Both bags of drinking water froze into ice harder than rocks. Thinking of how many days I would have to live through this, I worried about the health of the girls.

"Shusha..." A strange sound startled me, what kind of sound is this?I was shocked in my heart, and hurriedly opened a corner of the tent to look out. Today's moon is very good, big and round, shining on the vast desert, turning the sand into silvery white. It looks really beautiful. I doubt it. I took a closer look, and it was peaceful outside, could it be that I heard it wrong?

At this moment, a small bag was buried in a small sand dune in the distance, and a half-meter-long sand lizard arched out of the sand. Its whole body and limbs were light brown, with black and white spots scattered around. I was relieved that this little guy turned out to be a desert animal that came out to look for food at night.
