Chapter 28 Chapter 27 The Edge of Life and Death

Li Cu was woken up by the cold water, the water choked into his nostrils, he shrank his body convulsively, and then felt the heat around him.He wanted to open his eyes, but the strong light made him cover his closed eyes with his hands, and his eyes were brilliant red. It took more than a quarter of an hour before he opened his eyes and found that the surroundings were all white sand and endless sand dunes.He touched his face, there was no water on his face, only sand, his lips could feel a little wet, the water should have evaporated in an instant. He stood up and looked around suspiciously, the heat wave hit.This heat is very familiar, but it is far worse than the temperature of Huoshaofeng.Turning around, he didn't see anyone, but the white sand dunes around him let him know where he was.

This is Gutongjing, he came back, and he returned to the desert where Wu Xie brought him. How is this going?He tried hard to recall, and thought of the black guide Che Galiba, and the hidden reef in the ghost river.He passed out in the water, why is he here now?Something is missing in the middle. After taking a step, his legs and feet felt weak, and he found the backpack half buried in the sand by his feet.After he snatched the backpack back, he fastened it to his belt, probably because it saved his life. He patted his backpack and found that there was no one around, nor any footprints.Then he shook his head, retreated to the shadow of the sand dune where he was lying just now, touched his lips, and then touched himself, and found that the clothes were still a little damp.He leaned over and touched the sand, which was half dry.The whole sand, a large area is like this, especially the shadow part.

"The water is gone." He said to himself, it seems that he was still soaked in the water before, and the water here has seeped into the ground again. All inland rivers are born in the desert and disappear in the desert. Judging by the dryness of the clothes, the ghost river has sunk under the sand for a while. What about the others? He climbed to the sand dunes, and there was no end to the surroundings, all the same sand dunes, except for white sand, there was nothing.He yelled a few times, but no one answered.When I opened my backpack, water, food, and money were gone, but everything else was there.

He took out his compass, looked at the direction, what should he do next? He looked around, trying to find the huge rock in Wu Xie's photo, but he couldn't see it, and it was surrounded by rolling white sand dunes. Go find those trucks.This is his second thought.However, there would be danger in the White Desert, so he stopped after walking a few steps. He looked around again, and the change in angle really allowed him to see something protruding from the sand dunes on one side.It was part of a truck, and he ran to it and realized it was the same truck he had seen.He looked around and realized what had happened—the sand had buried the trucks again, and he was in the sea surrounded by the trucks.

The cars were not buried very deep and the sand was loose.He climbed onto the top of the truck and shook it so hard that the sand began to shake off all around him, and a line of three vehicles emerged from the collapse of the dune. At this time, he heard several gunshots.Li Cu looked up and saw on the opposite sand dune, a man was holding a submachine gun in one hand and shooting towards the sky, and he was greeting him with the other hand. It's Yang Hao. Li Cu was overjoyed and waved to Yang Hao.It's not that he's alone, life isn't that hard.He jumped off the front of the car, walked towards Yang Hao, and walked into the wet sand, which was the bottom of Haizi before.

About one-third of the way, he found that something was wrong, the sand was getting softer and softer, he sank into the sand, the sand had reached his knees, and he sank deeper and deeper. He immediately raised his legs and backed away. After only a dozen steps, his feet loosened, and the sand reached his neck in an instant. "Quicksand!" He yelled, and when he saw Yang Hao rushing to save him, he sank into it too. "Don't, don't move." Li Cuo remembered what was said in the movie, and immediately stopped still, but still sank.He and Yang Hao looked at each other, watching each other gradually being swallowed up by the sand.

All this happened so fast, before Li Cu could figure out what happened, he faced the end of his life. This is too dramatic, Li Cuoxin said, when the sand was in his mouth, he was still in a trance, not really aware of the situation he was in.The conditioned reflex made him raise his head and turn his face up so that his nose would be submerged as far as possible until the end.At the same time, his hands struggled to open in the wet sand. It was impossible to fully open, but he still propped up his elbows like a hen dancing, increasing the force-bearing area.Finally, when his face was almost level with the sand, the sinking stopped.

His face was facing the sun, and it was very difficult to breathe. On the one hand, it was because of the huge pressure from the sand, and on the other hand, he was afraid that any vibration would break the support balance between him and the sand—if he sank another three centimeters, he would be covered by a thin A layer of sand kills. The strong sunlight made him unable to open his eyes, his eyes were covered with a vast expanse of whiteness, and the temperature on his face rose instantly. How long can he last?In a trance, he finally began to think about this serious question. Under such circumstances, how long can he last?

The area on the face is not large, the sand is still very wet, and the moisture invades the body, and the probability of heatstroke and shock is high.If he could hold out, then at night, when the water evaporated and the surface of the sand was lighter and drier, he might be able to find his way out.And when the temperature gets colder, he can also recover his strength. Only one face should be exposed to the sun, and he should not be exposed to death tonight.However, even if his face is not sunburned, when he comes out, he will become Li Kui in Peking Opera. In addition, there is another possibility of being rescued, that is, Yang Hao broke out with superpowers and crawled out of the sand to save him.

However, the possibility of such a mutation in Yang Hao's IQ is too low.Li Cu was thinking, when suddenly the glare of the sun was blocked, he opened his eyes and saw Su Wan standing in front of him, and said, "Oh, what a good place to pee." Li Cu couldn't speak. When he opened his mouth, sand would be poured into his mouth.Su Wan looked funny, reached into the sand, grabbed his collar and pulled it up.At the same time, Li Cu thumped vigorously, and was pulled up in a few strokes. He saw that Su Wan was wearing a pair of strange big shoes, the soles of which looked like two tennis rackets, and asked strangely, "Where did you get the sand equipment?"

"This is the fan my young master bought for you. Aren't you afraid of the heat?" Su Wan said, "You too, haven't you been here before, why don't you be as cautious as a novice like me?" After asking, he found out that he woke up with Yang Hao, but Yang Hao ran too fast, when Li Cu saw Yang Hao, Su Wan was still climbing the sand dunes behind. Their previous experience was similar. Yang Hao persisted until the end before passing out. They were all knocked out. Yang Hao said that one of the ribs might be broken, so they couldn't press it, and they would pass out from pain. Yang Hao was also brought up, but Liang Wan was nowhere to be seen.Su Wan handed Li Cu a cigarette, and said, "Have we traveled through time? Why did we get here so quickly?" Su Wan's cigarettes were all wrapped in plastic wrap, so they didn't get wet when they touched the water all the way.Li Cu suddenly felt something. He couldn't tell what it was like. Su Wan was indeed an extremely careful person. He used to think that he was very hypocritical, and Beijing dialect was just a thing.Now this cigarette makes Li Cu feel awesome. "How long have we been in a coma?" Li Cu asked, taking a puff of cigarette. Su Wan raised his watch: "It has been seven hours since we were thrown into the water." Li Cu grabbed Su Wan's hand to look at the watch, and it was as he said. Li Cu was surprised and said, "Is it only seven hours?" Counting the journey, this is about the same.But in seven hours, the sky should be dark, why is the sun so big.Li Cu looked at the shadow, the shadow was very long, the sun had already set, but it was far from dark. Su Wan supported Li Cu and moved slowly towards the shore, and said, "It's absolutely true." "Are you sure your watch isn't broken, or hasn't been adjusted?" "This watch costs 6888 yuan. It's called Songtuo. It's a GPS watch, and the time can be corrected through satellites. Of course, I can't find satellite signals here, otherwise I can know the latitude and longitude. And I have set a password for this watch. It's impossible to crack my password in a short time. What's more, I updated the password last night." Su Wan said. Li Cu recalled for a while, he was in a daze, and his memory of being in the water was completely gone. He touched his abdomen, and his internal organs must have been injured during that impact. Pressing his liver was very painful, and other parts of his body felt pain. It must have been knocked in the water a lot. "I have another piece of evidence to prove that we were in a coma for at most seven hours." Su Wan said, he took out a box from his bag, it was an insulated box, and it contained leftover sashimi. "There are three slices left, one for each person." Su Wan took out and handed it to Li Cu and Yang Hao, and the three of them raised their heads together in the desert and swallowed the cold raw fish. The fish was very fresh, Li Cu let out a sigh of relief, seeing that the box was an insulated box, he understood what Su Wan meant.If it is not seven hours, then there must be such a big sun, it must go through one night, and the heat preservation box cannot keep heat for such a long time. This is strange, what is going on with the sun, is the time in this desert different from the outside? Su Wan said: "Don't worry about it, maybe we didn't notice it when we got up too early, hurry up and walk around to see if there are any clues, and find your girl by the way, don't let anything happen, I think this girl is pretty OK, for you."
