Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi were exploring the way ahead. Although there were many revived zombies attacking them along the way, they were just sending themselves to death in the face of the powerful weapons in everyone's hands.
"Gurgle gurgle." After Fatty Wang shot and killed the last zombie in front of him, he couldn't help but lean against the wall, opened the water bag and started drinking.
Hu Bayi, Han Tina, and the other five mercenaries did the same, leaning against the wall and starting to replenish their water.
You have to know that it is noon now, which is the time when the temperature in the desert is the highest. In addition, in recent years, the environment on Yuanxing has changed dramatically, and the temperature in the desert has become even more extreme.
In the past, the highest temperature in the Kyushu Desert exceeded 50°, and now it has exceeded 60°. In such a high temperature environment, the water in people's bodies is lost very quickly. Ordinary people would probably die of thirst in a very short time.
Fortunately, none of the mercenaries on this trip were simple. They were from the Middle East, exposed to high temperatures year-round, and had already developed a good resistance to these.
Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi have special means and can avoid it, but Hantina is in a miserable situation. She is not someone who has lived in the desert all year round, and she does not have any special means. She can only withstand it with the physical fitness of a strong person who has broken through the rank.
Hantina also took out her water bag and drank a few sips to replenish her water.
"Damn it, how come I finished this bag of water so quickly?" Fatty Wang cursed and waved the water bag in his hand a few times. There was not a drop of water left in it.
Fatty Wang tightened the water bag and threw it into the backpack behind him. Although he still felt a little thirsty, he did not take out the water bag from the backpack to continue drinking.
The same goes for other people. Even if the water in their water bags was finished, they did not continue drinking. In the desert, the most precious resource is not treasure, but water, which must be consumed sparingly.
Although the three tomb raiders were all very powerful, they were not from a big family after all. Originally, only Hu Bayi had a ring among the three, and it was given to him by Shirley Yang. He was a down-and-out descendant of a tomb raider, and his family assets did not have anything presentable.
Shirley Yang was not from a powerful family, and the storage ring she owned did not have much space, only about ten square meters.
But before that, when he and Luo Li and others explored Longling and resolved the crisis in Jiuzhou, Jiuzhou was extremely generous and among the supplies they provided were two team captain-level storage rings.
Hu Bayi gave these two rings to Fatty Wang and Shirley Yang, and he still wears the ring given to him by Shirley Yang.
After getting the two rings, the trio directly abandoned their fixed base and put all their supplies in the rings. Shirley Yang's ring contained all the wealth of the three people, and in addition to equipment, Fatty Wang's ring also contained various drawn talismans.
Although the three people had a lot of water resources in their rings, they were backup supplies and were resources to be used in emergencies. Under normal circumstances like now, they still chose to consume temporary water.
"It took us several days to get here. Except for the first day when we encountered an oasis to replenish our supplies, we have been in a state of depletion all the time." Hu Bayi pondered the extent of material consumption.
"I checked yesterday. A quarter of the supplies carried by the group of 24 camels have been consumed, and more than half of the water has been consumed." After hearing Hu Bayi's words, Fatty Wang immediately understood his thoughts and told him the actual situation of the material loss.
"One quarter, this is a normal loss, but the water resources are consumed a bit too fast." Hu Bayi frowned slightly. This was beyond his expectations.
"This is normal. The temperature in the desert is more than ten degrees higher than in previous years." Fatty Wang shook his head, obviously helpless.
"Don't worry." Luo Li, who was following behind, heard the two people's concerns and his voice was full of calmness.
"What do you mean?" Hu Bayi looked at Luo Li.
"Since a country was able to be established here thousands of years ago, it means there must be underground rivers and no shortage of water resources, otherwise it would be impossible." Luo Li reminded.
Luo Li's words made Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi's eyes light up, and they immediately understood.
Sure enough, after Fatty Wang turned a corner again, he saw an ancient well covered with dust.
Fatty Wang walked to the edge of the well and looked down. There was indeed water in the well, more than ten meters away from the wellhead.
"Great, there is water here." Fatty Wang's surprised voice made everyone's eyes light up and they all followed quickly.
Luo Lize was not in a hurry at all. This was something that was expected. He glanced at Hantina next to him, smiled slightly, and reached out to tidy up Hantina's messy hair.
Hantina's face turned slightly red. This was the first time Luo Li had done such an intimate gesture to her. She felt a little sweet in her heart. Although she felt embarrassed, she still did not avoid it.
"Let's go, let's keep moving forward." Luo Li signaled everyone to keep moving forward, follow Fatty Wang's footsteps, and not fall behind.
Shirley Yang, who was watching the camel at the back of the crowd, glanced at Luo Li, who had "come to his senses", a smile flashed across her eyes, and she said nothing, but just pulled the camel's reins.
"Don't rush to drink it. After all, there are zombies here. Check if there is anything unclean in the water." Luo Li reminded Fatty Wang when he saw him drawing water.
He had dealt with Compney a lot, so he was naturally on guard, but Luo Li still felt that the chances of the water in the well being contaminated were small.
According to estimates, there is an underground river deep under this ancient monument, and the water is always flowing. Even if Compney really released the jade agent at the beginning, the underground river would dissipate after flowing for a while.
"Don't worry, we are aware of this." Fatty Wang made a reassuring gesture to Luo Li.
After the first bucket of water was drawn up, Fatty Wang took out some test papers. These were the test papers that the alliance had developed after learning from the painful experience of the contamination of Paris' water source by the emerald agent, which resulted in no one in the entire city being affected. If a substance containing the emerald agent falls on the test paper, the test paper will turn green to alert the user.
After two minutes, there was no change on the test paper, and Fatty Wang's face was full of joy.
"Great, there's no problem with the water. Everyone, take out your water bags and fill them up!" Fatty Wang reminded everyone. He was the first to take out his water bag and fill it up.
"rustle!"
After everyone started to draw three buckets of water, the surrounding sand began to tremble, as if something was coming out of it.
"Be careful, something is coming out from under the sand." Luo Li looked at the shaking sand and reminded everyone.
