Chapter 132 Frozen Bone Tree (9)

"Here, set up camp." Kurban panted heavily, and before we could rest for a while, he motioned for everyone to set up camp again.

The tent that had been frozen before had softened, and the surface of the tarpaulin was covered with a layer of hoarfrost. Fortunately, the quality was excellent, so the interior was still relatively dry.

I looked at the watch on my wrist, and the temperature was 38 degrees below zero. The cold sweat on my back soaked the underwear, and the inner shirt became icy cold, like a towel soaked in cold water, which made people feel no heat at all. .

I couldn't help but sneezed.

Kurban glanced at me, frowned and said, "You won't catch a cold." It's not a good thing to catch a cold in this environment.

I said: "No, the cold air is pungent, and the temperature...is absolutely."

Kurban said: "So, the three-liner you proposed during the day may not work." It is close to minus [-] degrees, which is almost an arctic temperature. If our equipment is not strong enough, we will really be frozen to death.

While camping, we raised the fuel to keep warm and prevent the water frog.

The effect of heating is minimal, but better than nothing.

In the past few days, we have not kept watch at night, but not tonight. Except for the two girls, all the men have to take turns to watch the night to prevent the water frog from attacking.

Kurban looked at a cold moon in the sky and said to me: "When it's daytime, we have to find a way to find the water frog, otherwise it will be too laborious and unsafe to keep embanking it all the time. "

I asked, "Will it come out in the middle of the night?"

Kurban said: "It was injured, maybe it will feel fear, or maybe it will feel hatred, it's not sure." Kadir's death made Kurban feel very bad, his voice was heavy, gloomy.

Our words were heard by Jian Weizhong, who said: "In the legend of Datura, water frogs are very vengeful and have the habit of stalking their prey. In winter, they will prey in large quantities to maintain consumption in spring and summer. Its prey, whether it's humans or animals, will be killed to the end. I'm afraid it will be difficult in the second half of the night."

After the camp was set up, we were divided into squads. The three XJ guys were outside, warming up around the fuel and guarding the fire, while the rest of us got into the tent and huddled in our sleeping bags to rest.

It was so cold that even in the winter tent, we still couldn’t get warm. We huddled together in the cold, tossing and turning, making it difficult to sleep deeply. We were always in a state of light sleep, half asleep and half awake.

I don't know how long it took before we were woken up to change shifts.

I looked at the time, it was two o'clock in the morning.

I, Brother Wei and Jian Weizhong took turns to watch, and Kurban and others took the last shift.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Qi got up when he heard the movement, wrapped around his sleeping bag, stretched out his hands, and tremblingly came over to warm himself by the fire.The wind was blowing on her face, like a knife, I asked her to go back to sleep, she said: "It's too cold, I can't sleep, why don't I get up and bake, my hands are numb from the cold."

I said, "Do you regret it? I asked you to watch the store at home, so you have to follow me."

Xiao Qi sneezed, and said: "I don't regret it, the environment is so bad, if I don't protect you, you will stop working. Who will pay me if you stop working?"

While warming up by the fire, we observed the movement around us. Because it was too cold, we didn’t have the mood to chat. After staying outside for a short time, we found it difficult to breathe, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

This night was really miserable. With such a low temperature, if it was as cold as this every night, how could it be unbearable.

Sitting by the fire, the temperature of the flame seemed to disappear, instead it became colder and colder. After about forty minutes, I suddenly found that Jian Weizhong was guarding and fell asleep.

After all, he is a literati, so I planned to let him go back to sleep first, but the next second I felt something was wrong: how could he sleep so soundly in such a cold day?When I touched it again, the boy's body was icy cold, obviously 'frozen'.

The term "frozen" in the north means that people will feel very sleepy in a certain low temperature, and they will freeze to death without waking up.

Jian Weizhong wasn't dead yet, but if he didn't warm him up quickly and wake him up, he would probably die soon.

I immediately asked Brother Wei and Xiao Qi to get people into the tent. At the same time, I looked at the watch on my wrist.

It was incredible to see that the temperature actually reached 47 degrees below zero, which is only about three degrees away from the [-] degrees in the polar region that appeared in modern history.

I gasped, and immediately shouted: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, get up!" This kind of temperature is no longer a normal temperature. In fact, our previous estimate was about minus [-] degrees. .

After all, extremely low temperatures above [-] degrees seldom occur, but I didn't expect that the temperature would drop so sharply in just one hour without knowing it.

There was no movement in the tent at all.

Wouldn't everyone have been frozen in their sleep?
I rushed into the tent, shaking them one by one, blowing the signal whistle, and it took a while to wake everyone up.The people who had been frozen had just woken up, and their bodies had almost no mobility.

Kurban looked confused and looked extremely weak, his hands trembling uncontrollably: "What, what's going on? It's so cold, why can't I feel my body..." While speaking, he lowered his head to look at his hands and feet.

The same is true for the rest of the people, all of whom lost consciousness, as if they felt that they only had one head left.

I said: "You are in a deep sleep from the cold, and your body hasn't recovered yet." While speaking, I showed Kurban the thermometer on my wrist. : "Is your watch broken?"

I just felt that my hands and feet were numb from the cold, and I was wearing professional outdoor anti-cold clothing, as if I hadn't worn them: "No, when I took over the shift just now, the temperature was more than minus 30 degrees, and it dropped by more than ten degrees in an hour. I don't know what's going on, we seem to be a little unlucky, and we have encountered extremely cold weather."

"How could this be..." He frowned and murmured.

Suddenly, Kurban seemed to have thought of something, grabbed my hand, and said quickly: "Go out and see if there are trees around!",

Tree?I was taken aback, and soon understood what he meant, and ran out of the tent immediately.

There are no trees in this dry river, there was only one frozen bone tree at first, but that tree has been burned by us.

Back then, that water frog was actually hiding in a decayed frozen bone tree.

At this moment, there is no way to hide water frogs on the Gobi ground under our feet. When Kurban said this, he was obviously suspecting that the extremely cold weather at the moment had something to do with water frogs.

If the water frog released cold air around us, it must have used something to hide its figure.

Either a dead tree, or something else...
