Chapter 199: Extreme Water Shortage
The transport helicopter left.
Chen Tang glanced around, an endless expanse of yellow sand, and the sand dunes obscured his vision.
During the day, the temperature in the desert is very high.
Chen Tang took off his camouflage cotton jacket and walked forward.
After walking for less than five minutes, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
But Chen Tang had no choice, he could only keep moving forward.
He could also dig a pit and lie down in the wet sand to escape the heat, but so what? He was going to survive here for three days, not hours, and that would be no different from waiting to die.
After walking for forty minutes, Chen Tang was very thirsty, but he didn't see any animals, not even a snake.
It made him a little desperate.
Suddenly, Chen Tang looked ahead and didn't move, then his face was happy, and he ran forward.
He ran more than fifty meters, stopped, crouched down and picked up a bottle of mineral water on the ground.
The bottle is very old, and it is not known why it is here, it may have been thrown by a fellow traveler who came here to explore, or it may have been blown by the wind from somewhere else.
But this is no longer important, the important thing is that Chen Tang finally saw a glimmer of hope.
He took a deep breath, unbuckled his belt, and put the urine (urine) in the bottle, a whole bottle.
This is the stock of water he drank in the morning, Chen Tang was reluctant (urine) at first, but now it is different, he has utensils that can be stored.
Don't underestimate this bottle (urine), in these three days, this will be a bottle (urine) that will change your fate.
As long as you know a little bit about survival, you know that in the desert, (urine) can also save people! It's a bit disgusting, but it's better than dead.
Minutes and seconds passed, at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Tang really couldn't walk, and his body was extremely dehydrated.
Squatting in the shadow of the sand dunes, Chen Tang opened the cap of the mineral water bottle containing (urine) and took a few sips.
The moment he swallowed, Chen Tang suddenly felt sick to his stomach, but he couldn't bear not to think about it.
At this time, (urine) is a good thing, to be honest, Chen Tang is reluctant to drink it all, because after drinking it all, he can't even survive today.
Chen Tang was looking forward to the arrival of the night, but the day was too difficult.
Moreover, people are afraid of heat, animals are also afraid of heat, and animals in the desert are generally active at night.
In a normal climate, people can go without drinking water for three days, some even longer, but that's a minority.
But in the desert, the humidity of the air in the desert is almost zero, you are in the desert, you are evaporating your water all the time, and if you don't get water for 24 hours, you basically lose your mobility, (if you are in a state of exercise, it will be consumed faster.) 36-48 hours complete death.
In the desert, if the water source is sufficient, you need 6 to 8 bottles of water a day, take a bottle of Nongfu Spring as an analogy, in a normal climate, when you drink it, one bottle can quench your thirst, or even half a bottle.
But in the desert, you will feel that this bottle of water is about the same amount as a disposable paper cup, and you will be gone when you drink it.
The survival contest began at eight o'clock in the morning, and by eight o'clock in the evening, more than a hundred special forces were eliminated in twelve hours.
Some had no choice but to be unlucky, and some raised their sabers themselves.
Water in the desert is so important, much more important than gold.
Chen Tang was in a state of exercise this day, and the water consumed was terrible.
By the time it got dark, he had all gone, but he didn't have the slightest intention of it.
Say...... Chen Tang is out of stock, he needs to find a water source as soon as possible, he has to find it tonight, otherwise he will ...... tomorrow It was hard for him to get through.
The desert during the day is like a furnace, and the desert at night, that is, after the sun has set, is like an ice cellar.
Chen Tang put on his camouflage cotton jacket, the temperature was about minus 20 degrees, his face was red from the cold, and his lips, which were already dry and chapped due to lack of water, were frozen and cracked a few times.
Chen Tang got up and walked in the night.
Until one o'clock in the morning, Chen Tang was looking for water sources and animal tracks, but he found nothing.
There was no way, Chen Tang knew that he had to rest.
Leaning on the sand dunes, Chen Tang closed his eyes and recuperated, and fell asleep, when the sun came out, it was half past six in the morning, and Chen Tang opened his eyes.
The temperature returned quickly, and Chen Tang took off his camouflage cotton jacket.
"Luck is on my back." Chen Tang muttered to himself, he was very irritable, could it be that he was going to be brushed down in this first round?
Chen Tang glanced around, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes were happy.
The temperature is warming, and a snake is crawling, and it is very fast.
Its head is not triangular, it is not a venomous snake.
Chen Tang didn't know what kind of snake it was, after all, he was not a biologist.
At this time, in Chen Tang's eyes, this snake is no longer a snake, but a good meal!
Quickly pulling out the saber, Chen Tang swore that the speed at which he drew the sword was definitely the fastest so far.
"Whew! ……”
The saber was thrown, stabbing the snake and sticking it in the sand.
Chen Tang ran quickly and lifted the snake up.
The snake tore towards Chen Tang, and with a wave of the saber in Chen Tang's hand, the snake's head was cut off.
Although the head of the snake was cut off, the snake's body was still writhing, Chen Tang lifted the snake's body, opened his mouth, and the snake's blood continued to drip into Chen Tang's mouth.
Although there was not much blood, Chen Tang was also very satisfied.
Tearing off the snake skin with a saber, Chen Tang put the snake meat in his mouth, chewed it raw, and then swallowed it.
Chen Tang sat in the shadow of the sand dunes, he wanted to make his own water, but he didn't have the tools.
"Two days to go." Chen Tang muttered softly to himself.
What's next? The blood of a snake is completely impossible for Chen Tang to survive today.
Even if he can survive today, then Chen Tang definitely doesn't have any ability to act at night! By daylight tomorrow, he'll lose too much water and fall unconscious! After the coma, the people who are staring at Chen Tang will announce that Chen Tang is eliminated, and then the rescue helicopter will come and take Chen Tang away.
This is not the result that Chen Tang wants.
Glancing at the mineral water bottle that he hadn't discarded yet, Chen Tang sighed.
He still didn't have the intention of (urinating).
"You can't give up like this, if you don't take the initiative, then there is no hope at all!" Chen Tang got up, and he decided to take a gamble.
He continued his quest to find an oasis.
It has to be said that he made the right choice, but ...... His luck was really bad.
Until five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Tang couldn't walk anymore, and his lips were chapped and there were more than a dozen blood marks.
Chen Tang crawled to the shadow of the sand dunes and lay there, his consciousness beginning to blur a little.
He knew that this was a sign of an extreme lack of water in his body.
He is no longer capable of action!
