About an hour later, the big man suddenly stopped, wiped the sweat from his face and cursed, "Damn it, I'm going to die from the sun. Why is it so hot? It's almost like the Flame Mountain."
"Yeah, it feels hotter and hotter, almost like a stove." Shunzi's face turned red, his eyes changed color, and he was a little dizzy from the sun.
I supported him and asked, "Would you like some water?"
Shunzi shook her head with blank eyes, and said feebly, "My whole body is hot, and drinking water is useless. I don't have much water anymore, so I can't waste it."
Jenny and Li Xin were also a little sluggish. They almost dragged their feet forward, as if they were chained under their feet. Their pace was much slower than before, and every step seemed very heavy.
And the few people under Martin's command were all gone. They were almost tired and fell down. They were staggering when walking and could fall to the ground anytime and anywhere. Only Shaoyu was still strong and kept gritting his teeth.
Hold on.
"Captain, Captain, I can't stand it anymore. I feel like I'm going to die from the sun." A Malaysian sailor collapsed on the yellow sand, but only for a few seconds, he yelled and got up again.
"Oh my God, it's burning me to death. This sand can burn someone to death. Captain, what should I do?"
"Yes, Captain, we really... really can't survive. This is worse than death." Another sailor shouted, and then he also fell on the desert, but because the yellow sand was too hot, he was burned
He was rolling back and forth, as if there were needles pricking him down there.
Martin hurriedly ran over, pulled him up and shouted, "Get up, this will burn you to death. Hold on, you must hold on."
The Filipino looked a little dazed, "Captain... I can't stand it anymore. I can't hold on any longer. I don't have any strength left in my body. I feel like I'm going to die."
Martin shouted forward anxiously, "Mr. Mai, they are all gone? What should we do?"
Jiao Ba gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let everyone hold on a little longer. This is the most painful journey. By the time we reach the palace, it won't be so hot."
"I know what you said, but what should I do now? They can't even walk." Martin was a little dumbfounded. All his men, except for Shao Shao, slumped down. On our side, Li Xinhe
Jenny, Shunzi and Big Man are also dying. This kind of high temperature is simply not something people can bear.
Mr. Mai ran over in a few steps and said, "Hurry up and give them some water. Li Xin give me the medicine box."
A few of us fed them some water, but the effect was not obvious. They were somewhat dehydrated, their faces were red, their bodies were hot, they were unconscious, and they were in a semi-conscious state.
After Mai Lao opened the medicine box, he took out an ointment from inside and said, "Apply this ointment on their foreheads and it will have some effect."
It's a round box with the words "What is this?" written all over it in English.
"It's something similar to cooling oil, but more effective than cooling oil. It's specially designed to relieve heat. Apply it to them quickly." Mr. Mai explained casually.
We quickly applied this white ointment on each of their faces. This thing was really magical. In a few seconds, they all woke up a lot. When we saw how effective this thing was, we all hurried to it.
Apply a little on your own head, and apply a little on everyone to avoid passing out in the sun later.
"Damn, I finally feel a little cooler. Mr. Mai, why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a thing? We almost died from the sun." I said with a bit of complaint. This thing is really better than the cooling oil tube. Apply it on your head.
After that, I obviously felt much more comfortable with the cool breeze blowing from the inside out.
"This kind of thing has great side effects. Although it is very effective, it is harmful to the human body. It is best to use it as little as possible, otherwise it will easily have side effects." Mai Lao casually put the ointment into the medicine box again.
"How many side effects can there be? We don't use it every day." I said angrily.
Li Xin looked at me and said, "This is a chemical that reacts chemically with sunlight, so it is very cool. But while it is cool, it is actually freezing your skin. That is to say, the hotter it is, the more it reacts."
The bigger it is, the harder it freezes, which can damage your muscle tissue and even be fatal."
I was stunned. I didn’t expect the consequences to be so serious. Mr. Mai stood up and said, “Okay, if you can leave, leave as soon as possible. Don’t waste a single second.”
Martin and his men drank a lot of water after they sobered up. Now the water in each of our kettles has almost been drunk, and at most there is still a little half left. Of course, except for the steamed buns, although he doesn't use it
Even though he drank water, he didn't feel tired, but his skin was severely dry and cracked, like a cracked rock. It was scary, especially the skin on his face, which started to fall off.
We supported our tired bodies and headed towards the palace. I could already see the shadow of the palace with my naked eyes, but I knew very well that even if I could see it, it was still a long way from us. This distance
, will be the most difficult thing for us to endure, it can be called the devil's road.
Now all of us are taking care of ourselves because we no longer have the ability to care about others. Li Xin and Jenny are strong enough. They have never fallen behind until now. I have asked them many times whether they can still
Can't hold on? They all told me tenaciously that it was okay.
At the same time, the two of them have the most food and water resources among all of us. It shows how much they can save. Even I can't compare. I really admire them. If it were an ordinary little girl, they would have saved a lot.
I cried to heaven and earth.
As we were walking hard, Steamed Bun kept complaining, "What's wrong with me? Why is my skin starting to crack? Oh my god, look at it, I can almost see my bones."
Jiao Ba pretended to smile and said, "That's your hallucination. How can it be so evil? Our skin is also dry and cracked, isn't it?"
"Hallucination? It's impossible. I can't feel any heat at all, and I don't know how tired I am. This is wrong, this is very wrong, Jiao Ba, you have to explain it clearly to me." As Steamed Bun spoke, he ran to Jiao Ba from behind.
In front of him, he stopped him directly.
Jiao Ba glanced at him, patted his arm and said, "You are really fine. You are worrying too much. This proves that you are in good shape. I don't know how good it is to be tired. We are almost exhausted. Just concentrate on your journey." He went around.
Pass the steamed buns and continue walking forward.
But how could Mantou give up? He caught up again and asked, "No, you have to tell me clearly, what's wrong with me? This is simply not an ability that normal people can have. I even... don't even feel it."
To my own breathing, I beg you to tell me."
Jiao Ba was speechless for a moment. He hesitated and said, "I...what am I telling you? I really don't know. Don't ask me. If you want to ask, ask Brother Changshan."
"I'm just asking you, you answer me." Steamed Bun stepped forward and grabbed Jiao Ba's neck collar, yelling at him with his eyes wide open.
I hurried over from behind and said, "Steamed bun, can you please calm down? Now is not the time to talk about this. Our lives are at risk. It's so hot here. How can you still have the heart to ask these questions?"
"Zhongyi, I just want an answer. Is this wrong?" Mantou let go of Jiao Ba, looking aggrieved. He must be very sad because his body has undergone such a big change. Who would it be?
Can't accept it.
Jiao Ba and I looked at each other and asked each other to speak, but neither of us knew how to speak. There was no way to talk about it. Isn't it too ridiculous to just tell him that you are dead? Even if
We both told him, but he couldn't believe it either.
Just when the situation was very embarrassing, Chang Shan came back from the front and said, "Sandou, I will tell you the truth when we get to the palace. Now we have to hurry up and get on our way without any further delay."
"Hurry up, don't wait any longer." Mr. Mai was at the front, turning around and shouting to us.
Mantou nodded and said, "Okay, then when we get to the palace, you must tell me the truth."
Finally, his mood was stabilized. We lowered our heads and hurried forward under the scorching sun. We all changed out of two pairs of shoes during the process. The soles of the previous two pairs of shoes had been damaged by the hot desert.
It was burnt. The heat in this desert is unimaginable. Fortunately, we carried relatively complete equipment. If we only had a pair of shoes, we would not have been able to walk this far.
The desert areas all over the world are probably not as hot as here. This ghost place seems like even the air can burn. The whole island is like a fire. It is like we have fallen into a sea of fire, and there is not even a place to hide. If
If you can't survive it, you can only wait to be roasted.
But just when we were about to arrive at the palace, not far in front of us, I actually saw a patch of green. It seemed to be a big tree, and it looked like a small oasis. At first, I thought I was hallucinating because I was confused by the sun.
Well, I shook my head vigorously, and the green scene still existed.
I said to myself at the time, "It's over, I'm starting to have hallucinations, I guess I can't hold on any longer." In this damn place, let alone green plants, I can't even see any dry plants now.
, there is nothing on the entire island except yellow sand.
But I soon realized that this was not my hallucination, because everyone else had also seen it. Even if it was a hallucination, it would not be possible for everyone to have hallucinations, right? Even if everyone had hallucinations, this hallucination would not be the same.
Maybe it's the same.
"Brother Yi, I...I saw a plant in front of me, a green plant." Shunzi said a little excitedly.
"Yes, brother Yi, I saw it too, could it be that I was dazzled?" Jiao Ba asked, squinting his eyes in disbelief.
"I don't know, but I also saw it. I thought I was hallucinating at first, but it's impossible for us to all have hallucinations, right?" I said in a daze. To be honest, my mind was not very clear, and I was sweating profusely.
, I felt like I was almost dehydrated. It was so hot that it could roast someone to death.
"It's not an illusion, I saw it too, it might be an oasis." Li Xin said in front of me.
