Chapter 296 The Water Bag in the Desert
A large amount of clear water gushed out from the diamond, and more and more clear water gushed out, and at the same time, the speed of the water gushing out became faster and faster. The clear water instantly gathered into a stream and flowed forward.

At this time, Chen Ziyang didn't care at all where the water flowed, and he didn't care whether the water was a reminder given by the diamond, or whether it was pointing the way to the location of the ancient country. life-saving water.This is the instinctive reaction of a person who has experienced hunger, thirst and despair in the desert.

The clear water gushes out very fast. In addition to a small stream flowing forward, the clear water also forms a small pool around the diamond, but because the water in the pool around the diamond is too small, the water The sand on the surface of the desert was rolled up, causing the water in this pool to be very turbid.

But no matter how turbid the water is, it can save lives, and it can quench thirst. Now Chen Ziyang can't care so much. After seeing the clear water, he mustered all the strength in his body and held it with his right hand. With his own body, he crawled forward with difficulty for a certain distance.Afterwards, Chen Ziyang, who came to the edge of the quagmire, plunged his head into the quagmire.

A large amount of muddy water mixed with fine sand was sucked into Chen Ziyang's mouth one by one.Chen Ziyang even spat out all the water he drank because he inhaled too much sand and sand in the first few mouthfuls, and he hadn't drank water for a long time, but he still sucked the water gushing out of the diamond vigorously.

"There's water! There's water!" A hoarse voice shouted softly, not because the person who saw the water didn't want to shout loudly, but because he was so thirsty that he couldn't shout loudly.

The colorful brilliance emanating from the diamonds attracted the attention of many people. That burst of light was so bright, especially in the dark night, it even illuminated the entire convoy.So all the people outside the vehicle saw the strong light, and these people who were attracted by the strong light also noticed the water gushing out of the diamond.

People who are dying of thirst are slowly moving towards the diamond from all directions. These people are either crawling, or barely standing and walking. Although everyone wants to rush to the diamond as soon as possible, after all, the people who have lived until now They're all exhausted too.

However, attracted by the water source, these people came to the edge of the quagmire one by one, and poured mouthfuls of muddy muddy water into their stomachs like Chen Ziyang.

After drinking a lot of muddy water, Chen Ziyang felt that he had regained a lot of strength, so he continued to crawl towards the direction of the diamond, which is the center of the quagmire.

In the whole quagmire, the closer the diamond is, the more clear water there is, and now the amount of water gushing out of the diamond is already very large. Except for the part that has flowed away, the other water is all gathered here. Part of the water had seeped into the yellow sand, and the center of the pool was already a few centimeters deep. Even when Chen Ziyang saw the diamond, it was almost submerged by the water surface, and only one tip of the diamond was still exposed on the water surface. outside.

Climbing to the center of the quagmire, Chen Ziyang finally drank a few sips of clear water with a small amount of sediment, which quenched his thirst much better than the muddy mud just now.After drinking enough water, Chen Ziyang saw that other people had noticed the quagmire, and many people had already come around the quagmire, so he didn't care about others, but hurried back In his compartment, he picked up the water bottle given to him by Instructor Liu, and returned to the quagmire.

When he returned to the quagmire again, Chen Ziyang saw that the diamond had been completely submerged by the water in the quagmire, but the water splashing from the middle of the quagmire could still tell Chen Ziyang the location of the diamond.When he came near the diamond, Chen Ziyang poured the freshest water from the diamond into the kettle, and then he returned to the carriage with the kettle.

"Lei Zi, drink some water." Chen Ziyang said in a choked voice, holding back his tears.After helping Yang Lei up, he fed the water in the jug into Yang Lei's mouth in small gulps. It was not until Yang Lei drank all the water in the jug that Chen Ziyang dropped it. The empty kettle lay beside Yang Lei and began to cry loudly.

The reason why Chen Ziyang cried bitterly was not because he came back to life, nor because of how many hardships and pains he had experienced, but because he finally did what he promised Yang Lei. The brother who took his life died, and he finally saved the lives of two people.

After crying for a while, the water he drank before had fully replenished the water his body lacked. Chen Ziyang actually felt a little hungry, so he grabbed a bag next to him because his mouth was too dry to swallow. I ate the compressed biscuits in big mouthfuls.

Because he ate too much, Chen Ziyang choked on the dry and hard biscuit, coughed a few mouthfuls, and after spitting out the biscuit in his mouth, Chen Ziyang suddenly remembered something.

This time, the amount of water gushing out from the diamond was very large, which was beyond my expectation, but Bao Buqi, after the diamond released water and served as a proper indicator, it would stop gushing clear water.That is to say, the water gushing out from the diamonds is not endless. Although he and Yang Lei have drunk their fill, there are still days to come.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang dropped the biscuit in his hand and looked for it in the carriage. He gathered all the things that could hold water together, then carried it on his right shoulder, turned around and walked out of the carriage .

At this time, the edge of the mud pool was already full of people. These people were either lying there drinking the muddy water in the pool, or lying there motionless after drinking enough water. Even Chen Ziyang saw it. Two people's belly swelled up because they drank too much water. It seemed that if they drank another sip of water, the belly of these people would burst.

There are also some people around the water pool, and these people are helping other people to walk towards the water pool.It is estimated that these people have already drank enough water, and then helped some other weak people to come to the pool to drink water.

Seeing that the crisis of the entire convoy was temporarily lifted, Chen Ziyang felt a sense of pride from the heart. After all, it was his own efforts that saved the lives of these people.Holding something to hold the water, Chen Ziyang walked to the center of the pool and filled the kettles he brought one by one.

While pouring water, Chen Ziyang saw Instructor Liu sitting on the edge of the pool, looking at him with a smile on his face. There was a hint of appreciation and admiration in his eyes.After returning a smile to Instructor Liu, Chen Ziyang continued his work.

With Chen Ziyang's reminder, other people also thought of storing water, so some people who had recovered their strength after drinking the water followed Chen Ziyang's example and hurriedly stored the water.

Instructor Liu ordered people to collect all the containers that could hold water in the entire convoy, put them in a car, and drove the car to the edge of the pool, and then he directed his men to fill all the containers from the diamonds. Gushing clear water.With the efforts of the entire team, all the things in the team that could hold water were filled in one night.

At dawn, when the last ray of starlight was covered by sunlight, the bloody diamond finally stopped gushing clear water.After touching the bloody diamond in the waist-deep pool, Chen Ziyang carefully put the diamond away.

Only at this time did he realize that the water gushing out of the diamond not only formed a pool around the diamond, but the stream formed by the water flowing out of the diamond also washed out a drainage ditch on the desert. .

This gutter flows straight to the distance, extending to a sunken place.But the sunken place is a little far away, and it's hard to see what the water looks like after it flows there.

Instructor Liu was not in a hurry to follow this ditch to find clues to the treasure. After all, now is not the time. Even if the treasure is found, there is no way to open the treasure with the current state of the people in the convoy.So he put all his energy on the reorganization of the team.

After eating a long-lost hot meal, Instructor Liu arranged for the short woman who treated Chen Ziyang to take care of Yang Lei.In the carriage, this woman who had never spoken to Chen Ziyang opened her mouth for the first time.

"I'm really sorry. The glucose and salt water I brought have been drunk. There is no way to give him infusion therapy now. Fortunately, his condition is not too serious and his fever has subsided. I will give him After taking some medicine, it shouldn't be long before he wakes up."

After thanking this woman thousands of times, Chen Ziyang was quite moved. It seemed that his actions had already won the hearts of him. Even this little nurse who was like a cold beauty had changed her attitude towards him.

"The people under your command can really drink. They even drank up all the glucose and salt water." Chen Ziyang joked to Instructor Liu.Through what happened in the past few days, Chen Ziyang felt that Instructor Liu was actually not too bad. The relationship between him and Instructor Liu was just like the relationship with Xiao Na back then. Slowly changed.

"What are glucose and salt water? Anyway, these are all drinkable things. Do you know that many of the glass water and antifreeze fluid in the car were taken out and drunk by these boys. Several people were drunk to death, and two Now it's pulmonary edema, and one is blind."

Chen Ziyang heard a tinge of sadness in Instructor Liu's tone. It seems that this time the team lost a lot. From the attitude of Instructor Liu towards these people before, Chen Ziyang can see that Instructor Liu is sincerely treating these people. These people are considered brothers. It seems that this incident has hit Instructor Liu very hard.

"The condition of the convoy...is it alright?"

"Those who are still alive, including the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, there are only 23 people left." After a deep sigh, Instructor Liu said.

Hearing this number, even Chen Ziyang, who had no feelings for these people, was shocked. There were 23 people, and the remaining people were less than a quarter of the total number of the previous team!

Before Yoshioka Yu left the convoy with three water storage vehicles and two other vehicles, their total number was less than 23 people, plus the remaining 60 people now, that is to say, there are more than [-] people because of This time the water release incident left his life in this desert.

Some of these people died of thirst, some went out to find water and never came back, some died of poisoning from drinking too much glass water and antifreeze, and some drank their blood after being killed by other people.

Although Chen Ziyang didn't ask, he knew that after he solved the crisis of the convoy, Instructor Liu shot two people dead with his own hands. It is estimated that these two people were the ones who had killed others before and survived by drinking blood.

"What are your plans for the next step, continue to search for your ancient treasure?" Chen Ziyang asked.

"I have a reason to continue. Although after this incident, the team's staff reduction is very serious, but this is the ultimate goal of our coming here. As long as there is one person alive, I will continue this mission. Go on. But don’t be in a hurry now, it will take a few days for the team to recover, and I also want to wait for the end of the sandstorm to see if Yoshioka Yu’s team can come back.”

Yang Lei woke up the next day. After hearing about the whole incident, Yang Lei said to Chen Ziyang: "Er Yang, I have decided. After I go back, I will change my online name to Desert. What do you think of the water bag in it?"

"A water bag in the desert? What does this sentence mean? Do you want to remember this time forever?"

"No, it's better to forget such a painful experience. What's the use of a water bag in the desert? It can quench your hunger and thirst. What do you think of this meme? When chatting with beauties in the future, if they ask me my online name What do you mean, I will answer them like this."

Hearing that Yang Lei's mouth began to grow weak again, Chen Ziyang knew that this kid was fine.For the next two days, Chen Ziyang has been carefully looking after Yang Lei, and the entire team is slowly recovering, but there has been no news of Yoshioka Yu's team.

Although Instructor Liu said that he was not in a hurry about the treasure, several times, Chen Ziyang saw Instructor Liu standing alone in the yellow sand, looking towards the end of the drainage ditch washed out by the current. .But no matter whether it was Instructor Liu himself or his subordinates, no one walked forward along this gutter.

On the third day after the crisis was resolved, instructor Liu learned from the transmitted satellite cloud image that the sandstorm had passed, but after waiting for another day, Ji Gangxiong's convoy still did not return.

In the evening of this day, Instructor Liu ordered all the people to hold a dinner near the picnic car. At the dinner party, Instructor Liu held a glass of water and said to everyone: "Today we use water as wine, toast to the dead brothers, Our benefactor is Mr. Chen, who worked tirelessly for several days to make us survive the life-and-death crisis. We drank this glass of water with him together.

The whole team will set off tomorrow to continue our mission. "
