Chapter 262: The Earth Is Pitch Black [The Fifth Watch Outbreak is Complete]

[The fifth shift in the middle of the night, so tired. I'm about to fall asleep, book friends who read pirated copies, please turn back, come to genuine subscription to support Xiao Thirst, thank you]

Jia Long's mouth opened lightly.

"That's it...... Dust storm! ”

The drone followed behind Jia Long and delivered her words word for word to the live broadcast screens of thousands of households.

"That's right, I've been vaguely suspicious for the past two days, and in the process of surviving this time, we may encounter a sandstorm."

"Sandstorms? Is it the kind of natural disaster that is often shown on TV? ”

"Probably not, there are so many sandstorms."

Jia Long didn't have to look back at the barrage to know what the audience would ask.

She shook her head directly.

"You may think that celestial phenomena such as legendary sandstorms are rare."

"But that's wrong, at least not at all in the Rub al-Khali desert. You can search on the Internet, the Rub al-Khali Desert is the desert with the highest incidence of sandstorms in the world, and it is not one of them, there will be an average of one sandstorm every seven days a year, which is extremely high. ”

"So it's entirely possible that we're going to have a sandstorm."

"As for why I have a hunch, it's because the wind and sand seem to be getting bigger and bigger day by day. Although there is no warning of a sandstorm, it is not a good sign when the wind and sand are getting bigger. ”

Jia Long is right, even if the sandstorms in the desert are not perfectly predictable, the wind and sand in an area continue to grow larger, which is not good information.

Her worries were by no means unfounded.

"Anyway, let's speed up, at least tonight, the goal is to get out of this dune area. Otherwise, when it gets cold at night, there is not even any burning grass and trees, and it is really possible to freeze to death. ”

To speed things up, Jia Long ventured into the dune terrain at night.

Her biggest fear was that when it was extremely cold, she was still spinning in the dunes, which would be a bit dangerous.

How cold it is in the desert at minus 10 degrees, maybe no one has any idea that it is not cold at minus 10 degrees.

Although many people can survive this cold night, there are several differences in Jia Long's body.

The first point is that she doesn't wear many clothes and has few equipment.

The second point is that there are strong winds blowing in the desert at all times, although most of them are not large breezes, but this is enough to reduce the temperature of the human body.

The third point is sand.

The sand at night is the opposite of the day, during the day it absorbs heat, and at its peak, the temperature of the sand and gravel is about 17 to 22 degrees higher than the temperature in the air. But at night, the unique hollow structure of the sand and gravel will cause it to release heat quickly, and people can feel the temperature even one or two times colder than the air temperature when lying on it.

To sum up, to rush for a night road in the desert, either you must be fully equipped and you must have a lot of equipment. Either they have a strong sense of survival knowledge and awareness. At the very least, it is important to realize that under normal circumstances, it is not possible to travel in the dune area, otherwise it will be difficult to overcome the sand night cold.

Of course, the high temperature during the day is similar, so you need to be aware of it a lot.

Jia Long held the trekking pole branches that Jia Long picked up the night before and had helped her save a lot of energy.

She 'swooped', climbed up a sand dune in the last rays of the sunset, and then walked quickly down the shadow side.

"The only good news is that it's not too hot to travel in this environment, and when the sun sets, the temperature will drop even faster."

Don't be too pessimistic.

In addition to thinking about the bad side, think about the good side of it.

Jia Long is like this, thinking that the temperature is not high at this time, her body is comfortable, and correspondingly, her need for water will be less.

Of course, climbing the dunes is completely different from the previous flat or slightly undulating terrain.

Climbing a small sand dune may be equivalent to Jia Long's consumption of walking a distance of one or two kilometers in a flat sandy area.

Soon, she began to gasp for air.

Although the sunset at this time is not scorching, it is still a summer sun. As soon as it hits the body, it makes people sweat down, especially when they are still exercising under heavy loads.

Climbing like this, Jia Long didn't look fast, but he was extremely firm. In an hour, three or four small sand dunes were climbed in a row.

And the sunlight has finally disappeared completely.

The earth went dark.

The moon hangs.

The light of the bright moon only illuminates the side facing it, and the back side is completely unclear.

"Look, there are a lot of sand lizards."

At night, Jia Long discovered that this land of sand dunes was not a complete forbidden area for life.

It should even be said that the sand dunes at night are equally colorful with life.

The palm-length lizards looked like four-legged snakes, but they were a little different, moving quickly in the sand.

They chase spiders, scorpions, and all kinds of insects.

Creatures that hide from the sun during the day start to act at night, and it is very lively.

"Awesome, it turns out that there are so many animals in the dunes, and you can hardly see them during the day."

"Master Long, don't perform eating sand lizards, fans can't bear it."

"Haha, people already have food, where will they eat indiscriminately."

Of course, Jia Long didn't catch sand lizards or something as the audience feared.

Instead, he didn't provoke the little animals, and walked past them quickly.

She had enough jackal meat on her body to eat, and now she had to consider whether she could get out of the dune terrain quickly.

Of course, because the level of activity of nocturnal animals is completely different, Jia Long has a heart.

She used fine sand to cover the wound of the jackal meat on her back.

In this way, the smell of blood is eliminated as much as possible, and the trouble caused by the smell of blood is to avoid the trouble of animals interested in this flesh and blood.

Truth be told, even before she trekked through the dunes at night, she had already anticipated the question of whether she would get lost.

But because of the moon as the direction, she was still full of care.

But when he walked three or five more sand dunes, up and down, Jia Long was dizzy, but suddenly found that he was really lost.

Even if there is a moon, it doesn't matter, because that can only judge the general direction.

And the moon moves.

"I'm in trouble."

Jia Long sighed bitterly, and then didn't fully believe the moon's guidance, and instead looked at the position of the most famous 'North Star' in the starry sky.

Far away in the sky, there are a string of spoon-like stars.

They are the seven stars of the ancient Longxia people who watched the stars at night, summarized the rules, and called them the 'Big Dipper'.

But Jia Long didn't look at them.

Although the Big Dipper also guides the direction, there is still a shift, and the only one that does not shift much is the 'North Star', which is not far away from them and is not weak in brightness.

"The north is over there, then the southeast is this side......"

Jia Long quickly analyzed the direction, then shrunk his shoulders and hurried towards the analyzed south.

The temperature has been decreasing since the sun disappeared. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
