Chapter 517 How did she get here these days?
It's not just a shortage of water, there's also a shortage of food.
There was not much food in reserve originally, and Chen Changan was so excited when Xu Bolu came that he didn't realize the problem at all and took out almost all the food.
Not to mention water, the desert is so dry that you can't live without water for a moment.
In the end, Chen Changan had no choice but to stipulate that each person could only drink one sip of water every night and let Liu Baizhong centrally manage the water source.
Seven days had passed and everyone had chapped lips.
It was time to drink water again today. Chen Changan took his supplies and walked to Tiedan's car.
It’s not that Chen Changan wanted to take the car, but Yue Shan was still in a coma.
"Dr. Tiedan, how is Yue Shan?"
Looking at Yue Shan’s pale cheek, Chen Changan just felt guilty.
Tiedan sighed softly, biting his lip and said, "Now it seems that we can only try reluctantly, but there is a 50% chance that the arrow can be pulled out and Yue Shan can wake up, and the other 50% chance is death. Do you want to try?"
Chen Changan took a deep breath and said, "Let's try. If my brother dies, I won't live either."
Chen Changan gave his water to Yue Shan. Seeing Tiedan staring at the water, he sighed softly and handed it to Tiedan.
"Here, drink it."
"Are you sure you want to give me the water?"
Tiedan looked at Chen Changan: "According to my observation, you haven't had any water for five days, and you gave all the water to Yue Shan. How did you survive?"
"Leave me alone?"
Chen Changan smiled.
"Could it be... Chen Changan, isn't that disgusting?"
Tiedan thought of a disgusting way to get water and immediately shook his head slightly.
"What's so disgusting? The most important thing is to be alive now."
Chen Changan left the water to Tiedan and got off the carriage.
Looking at Chen Changan's leaving back, Tiedan shook his head slightly. This fool was so stupid that people couldn't help but find him cute.
The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, burning the endless desert.
A team of more than 4,000 people moved slowly forward on the hot sand like a long winding dragon.
They had different purposes, but were all attracted by the mysterious desert and headed towards the unknown distance.
Chen Changan frowned and looked around vigilantly.
He was not unfamiliar with this desert in his previous life, but every time he entered it it was like a test of life and death.
"Everyone be careful, something is wrong in this area."
Chen Changan spoke softly, however, most of the people in the team were immersed in fatigue and anticipation for the destination, and did not fully realize that the danger was approaching quietly.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the middle of the team.
"Oh no, someone fell in!"
A young soldier shouted in horror.
Chen Changan's heart tightened and he immediately turned around to look. He saw that a piece of sand in the middle of the team was sinking rapidly and several figures were struggling desperately in the sand.
Before everyone could react, the scope of the quicksand expanded rapidly and more people were drawn into it.
"Don't panic, stay calm!"
Chen Changan shouted loudly, and he quickly organized the soldiers around him and asked them to throw ropes to the people in the quicksand.
But the suction of the quicksand was too strong, and many people were dragged down mercilessly the moment they grabbed the rope.
In the chaos, Lao Ma grabbed a rock beside him tightly, his heart beating rapidly and fear spreading in his heart.
He watched his companions fall into the quicksand one by one, and his heart was filled with despair.
"No, I can't die here!"
Lao Ma swore secretly in his heart.
He tried to calm himself down and began to observe the situation around him.
He knew the horror of quicksand, but he also knew that panicking would only make the situation worse.
He quickly took out a map and compass from his backpack and tried to find a safe evacuation route.
"Everyone listen, we can't struggle blindly, otherwise we will sink faster. We have to move to higher ground!" Lao Ma shouted.
When Chen Changan heard what Lao Ma said, he immediately commanded the team to move in the direction Lao Ma pointed.
But the quicksand didn't seem to let them go easily. It followed the team closely and kept swallowing up the surrounding sand.
During the evacuation, many people fell into quicksand.
"help me!"
Lao Ma looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Polu struggling desperately in the quicksand, with most of his body already submerged in the quicksand.
Lao Ma rushed over without hesitation, threw the rope in his hand to Xu Polu, and shouted loudly: "Catch it!"
Xu Bolu stretched out his hand desperately and grabbed the rope.
Lao Ma pulled the rope hard, but the suction of the quicksand was so strong that Lao Ma felt he was about to be dragged in.
At this moment, several soldiers rushed over. Together with Lao Ma, they finally pulled Xu Polu out of the quicksand.
Xu Polu was rescued, but the situation in the team became increasingly critical.
The quicksand had divided the team into several parts, and many people were trapped in different areas.
Chen Changan looked at the chaotic situation in front of him and saw a sand dune not far away.
"Everyone listen, let's move towards that sand dune! The dune is higher and we can hide from the quicksand there!" Chen Changan shouted loudly.
The team began to move forward towards the dunes with difficulty. As they moved forward, they constantly struggled with quicksand.
Many people fell into quicksand due to exhaustion, but others did not give up. They helped and supported each other and approached the sand dunes step by step.
Finally, part of the team successfully reached the sand dunes.
They pulled ropes on the sand dunes to help other trapped people get out of the quicksand. After some hard work, most people successfully reached the sand dunes.
But some people are still trapped in the quicksand, their life or death uncertain.
Chen Changan knelt on the ground, wanting to cry, but he had no tears.
Everyone looked at the quicksand quietly. They didn't know what to think. They had expected death on the battlefield, but to die in the quicksand...
Well, to be honest, every one of them felt very helpless.
"Chen Changan, do you know why we Xixia people want to attack Da Chu?"
Tiedan jumped out again at some point and said through gritted teeth, "You're so upset after only losing a hundred or two hundred people. What about me?"
"The Death Desert devours many of my people every year. Do I feel bad?"
"You won't feel the pain unless the knife cuts your head!"
Chen Changan turned his head murderously and stared at Tiedaner.
He didn't know how to tell Tiedan, could this be the case?
If I were a Xixia person, sand control would be enough!
I can't do that, but I have a son, and my son has a son, and my descendants are endless. What's wrong with that?
Tiedan also knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only shake his head slightly and pointed to the area with some dry grass nearby: "Tell your sergeant to follow the dry grass. Although there is still a risk of being swallowed, it may be smaller."
"Also, this is for you. I don't want you to die."
Tiedan threw a bulging bag over, and Chen Pingan was stunned!
God!
water!
At this time, she still had a full bag of water!
How did she get through these days?
