Chapter 213: Mirage

Mirage, also referred to as 'mirage', is a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction and total reflection of light, which is a virtual image formed by the refraction of light reflected by objects through atmospheric refraction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

In places such as calm seas, rivers, lakes, snowfields, deserts, or the Gobi, there are occasionally illusions such as tall buildings, city outlines, and trees in the air or underground, which is called a mirage.

In ancient times, this kind of scene was called a fairyland by people who were ignorant of science, saying that the scene that appeared on the sea and in the sky was the place where the gods lived.

Even, the places where the gods and immortals live in the legendary heaven, heaven and other places may be beautiful stories that the ancients imagined when they saw the mirage and showed the magnificent scene.

Mirages often appear in the sea and desert, many people should be familiar with it, should have heard of it more or less, for example, the hungry traveler in the desert saw from a distance, there is an 'oasis' ahead, just ahead, it feels not too far, but no matter how you run, you can't run, and finally die on the way to the 'oasis'.

That 'oasis' is a mirage, but it's not there at all, the place that people see, it's impossible to reach it until they are exhausted, it's just a projection of a certain place.

In ancient times, people who mixed in the desert, people who did not know about mirages, called mirages the temptation of Anubis, the god of death, and throughout history, there were countless people in the desert who died under this temptation.

To put it bluntly, a mirage is just a refraction of light, refracting a scene from one place to another.

The mirage is just a projection somewhere in the world, and conversely, the scene that emerges from the mirage is real, but it is not here.

In other words, what Caesar saw in the desert, this huge and strange human city surrounded by the sea, is real, somewhere in this magical digital world, in a corner.

Caesar rubbed his temples and let out a long breath, there were so many things he couldn't figure out.

It's a pity that the scene in front of him is just a mirage, this city, not really in front of his eyes, otherwise, Caesar must enter this extremely strange city to find out.

"Mirage, what's that?" When Ares heard Caesar's answer, he asked suspiciously.

At this time, everyone also gathered around, novel and curious, looking at the mirage in the distance, attracted by the magnificence of the city, listening to Ares's words, they all showed the same puzzled expressions.

"Mirage, the word I seem to have seen in a book before..."Aristotle recalled in his mind for a moment, and opened his mouth to explain the imagination of mirage.

Through Aristotle's explanation, although everyone is not quite a mirage, it is enough to know the most important point, that is, the scene of the mirage is fake, but the projection is not real.

And as the hot sun disappeared, the night fell, the temperature plummeted, and the mirage of the strange city in the distance gradually dissipated from everyone's field of vision and disappeared.

"Oh my God!" Seeing the mirage disappear with their own eyes, everyone exclaimed, they had never seen such a magical sight before.

"Okay, don't be surprised, hurry up and pack your things, it's time to go, as long as it's in the desert, a mirage and this kind of thing, you will still see it in the future, it's not a novelty..."

"Oh..."The mirage was gone, there was no excitement to see, and when they heard Caesar's words, everyone answered, packed up, and the convoy slowly moved forward in the desert.

"Caesar, there's not much water left." A few days later, after checking the reserves, Ares found Caesar and said with some concern.

During this time in the desert, everyone quickly adapted to the cruel environment in the desert, and at the same time, they also realized the importance of water, if there was no water, everyone would be sunburned to death in this scorching sun.

The Agumon is very warlike in its bones, and wants to die in battle, not to be burned to death in such a nest.

"How long will the rest of the water last?" Caesar asked.

"If you save a little money, you should be able to survive for a day." Ares thought for a moment and replied.

"One day—" Caesar looked down and looked at the map with a furrowed brow.

Two days ago, Caesar had already taken everyone to the location of the oasis marked on the desert, it was indeed an oasis, and the remains of the oasis could be seen, and the oasis had been buried by the yellow sand, if it weren't for the traces of some oasis remains, Caesar even doubted that they would have been lost in the desert.

This completely disrupted Caesar's arrangement, when Caesar and the others left the forest, they brought very enough water, but in this blazing desert, there was not enough water, not to mention, everyone had hundreds of mouths together, and they needed to eat and drink.

Caesar's original plan was to go to the oasis first to replenish the water, and the water they brought was more than enough to reach the oasis, but what people never expected was that the oasis had disappeared, only the yellow sand in the sky, and there was no water source.

Now, if you want to go back to the forest, it is completely too late, there is not enough water, and everyone will all die of thirst and sunburn in the middle of the way.

Caesar immediately took everyone to the nearest water source on the map, but the water was consumed too quickly, and before the next water source arrived, it was no longer enough.

And along the way, Caesar also tried his best to get water, for example, digging down from a place where there are plants in the desert, and he could indeed find a little water, but that little water was not enough for one person to drink, and these hundreds of people were completely a drop in the bucket.

Caesar looked down at the map, they had already walked most of the distance, and according to the normal journey, it would take two days to reach the next water source, but the water they had left was barely enough for a day.

If there is no water, in this hot and cold desert, it will cause various conditions, such as heat stroke, dehydration, etc., each of which is very deadly.

Everyone follows them without regrets, Caesar must not let them, he will not abandon anyone if they die in the desert so plainly.

"Caesar—" Aristotle came over, also aware of the dire situation at hand.

"Gather everyone together, I have something to say!" Caesar thought for a long time, then suddenly closed the map, raised his head and said.

Soon, everyone was gathered together, and Caesar was standing in the car, without any concealment, and directly told everyone that the water was no longer enough.

Then, Caesar asked everyone to selectively discard the unwanted burdens in the car, leaving only water and food, and some necessary things to lighten the burden...... (To be continued.) )
