Chapter 739: Cold Winter at Night

Because sand does not store water, let alone temperature, the temperature of the desert varies greatly.

During the daytime, the temperature of the desert can reach forty or fifty degrees, and the surface temperature can reach more than sixty degrees.

But at night, the temperature plummets, and the cold of minus 20 degrees Celsius contrasts strongly with the daytime.

The trek was arduous step by step, and every time I pulled my foot out of the sand, it was physically exhausting.

Carrying Tang Luotong on his back, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and walked forward, but it was unlikely that he would go out with courage alone.

Walking on sand is different from flat ground because when walking on flat ground, the ground is hard and the reaction of force will give a certain rebound.

But the sand is soft, and if you step on it, you will fall into it, which is why jumping high on flat ground is higher than on sand.

Marching in the desert, walking five kilometers consumes more physical energy than twenty kilometers on flat land, plus Tang Luotong, who is carrying a hundred pounds on his back.

At this time, the sun gradually sank in the west, and after the hot air began to disappear quickly, a cool breeze hit, making Ye Chen, who was sweating profusely, shiver.

Tang Luotong's hands also hugged tighter, and she could feel that the cold wind just now made her body tremble.

The yellow sand is long, and there is no shelter from the wind and rain, but the leaf dust cannot be stopped.

There was not even dead grass in the vast desert, and Ye Chen, who had gone deep into the depths, had nothing to do now, but the map had been completely imprinted in his mind.

But it's not a way to go on like this, after all, under the cold, Tang Luotong may not be able to stand it anymore.

Most of the clothes sank into the quicksand along with the car, Ye Chen was wearing a pair of shorts now, and Tang Luotong was even more thin, and the cold would be the biggest problem they faced tonight.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, the temperature was getting colder and colder, and there was the sound of Tang Luotong's teeth colliding in her ears, but she still didn't say a word.

Ye Chen knew that Tang Luotong was enduring it, and his heart hurt, but he had no choice but to warm each other with their body temperatures.

Without saying a word, only a long trail of footprints was left in the vast desert.

"Something seems to be there!"

After walking for a while, the temperature was getting colder and colder, but Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although it was not a full moon tonight, the moonlight also illuminated the ground in front of him, and among the stars in the sky, Ye Chen seemed to see a dark shadow on the opposite hillside.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Tang Luotong also hurriedly raised her head and followed his line of sight, but the distance was a little far, and she couldn't see it clearly.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look!"

Ye Chen put down Tang Luotong on her back, and she sat on the sand with her legs a little numb.

Because of the sudden departure, she instinctively hugged her chest, and Ye Chen ran quickly towards the black shadow in front of her.

"Be careful!"

In the vast desert, Tang Luotong didn't know what that black thing was, and she instinctively shouted at Ye Chen, staring nervously.

Ye Chen agreed, walked forward, and soon he came to the black object, and at this time, he finally saw clearly what the thing in front of him was.

"Luck, there's a place to sleep tonight, come over quickly!"

Turning around excitedly, Ye Chen waved his hand to Tang Luotong in the distance, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pulled out the dagger hidden in his military boots.

The rest of the weapons and ammunition had all sunk into the quicksand with the car, and now he had only the sharp dagger on him.

Squatting down, he immediately started working, and when Tang Luotong approached, he found that it was a camel in front of him.

To be precise, there was a dead camel in front of him, and it was called the Ship of the Desert because of its large physique, but it died here after all.

Ye Chen was squatting on the ground, cutting the camel's corpse with a dagger, which made Tang Luotong puzzled.

"Do you want to eat camel meat? But we don't have fire, do we? ”

Tang Luotong, who was hugging her shoulders to resist the cold, was also hungry and cold, and the last half of the pot of water was still consumed by her.

And looking at Ye Chen's movements, does he want to eat camel meat raw, there are no materials to support combustion in this kind of place, and eating raw makes her a little scared.

"I don't know how it died, but if it's an infectious disease, we'll probably be in trouble if we eat its meat, so let's be patient for the time being, but at least there is a place to sleep tonight."

Ye Chen didn't dare to eat it casually, although he might not be afraid of poison, but Tang Luotong couldn't.

In addition, eating raw meat may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and it is very scary to fall ill here.

Especially the parasites in raw meat, it is better not to eat them if they are not cooked at high temperatures, but what Ye Chen has to do now is not to eat, but to sleep.

It can be seen that the camel did not die for more than two days, so its carcass has not completely decomposed.

With the knife began to slash between its skin and flesh, Ye Chen's technique made Tang Luotong squat aside in confusion.

She couldn't help, she could only watch what Ye Chen was going to do, and after about an hour of work, Ye Chen actually took off the camel skin.

"Come on, I'll have to sleep here tonight!"

Dragging a huge camel skin, Ye Chen said to Tang Luotong.

Looking at the camel skin still hanging with blood, Tang Luotong couldn't help but retch.

But the cold was now deadly, and she gritted her teeth and eventually got into the blood-soaked camel skin.

The smell of blood was pungent, and after Tang Luotong, who was cold, hid in, he felt much better.

After all, the cold wind is like a steel knife, burrowing into it, although the blood is particularly pungent, at least it will not be so cold.

After seeing Tang Luotong get in, Ye Chen turned his back to Tang Luotong and also got into it.

Although the skin of the camel is not small, due to the cutting of limbs, there is only room for two people.

"I'm cold!"

In the dark, Tang Luotong said timidly, although there is no cold wind, it does not mean that she is not cold.

"Hold it tight and it won't be cold!"

In the endless darkness, Ye Chen turned around, and after the friction of these days, the two of them were not so embarrassed.

Stretched out his hand, hugged Ye Chen's waist tightly, and buried his head in the crook of his arm, Ye Chen was not wearing a shirt, and Tang Luotong was also thinly dressed.

This kind of embracing gives people infinite reverie, but when the weather is cold, the two of them will not have other thoughts.

Ye Chen also hugged Tang Luotong, warming each other with their body temperatures, in the vast Gobi Desert, this feeling of relying on each other can only be understood by two people.

Hungry and cold, with serious physical attrition, Tang Luotong closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

Ye Chen can't think nonsense, he has to recover his physical strength as soon as possible in order to deal with the next more troublesome situation.

In this way, the two people who relied on each other in the yellow sand fell asleep deeply, and in the howling cold wind outside, the pursuers were also desperately chasing. [End of Chapter]
