Desert Survival, when I entered a month in advance

Chapter 4 The Rain Comes with the Cold Wind

Feng Chan wrapped the quilt tightly around her body and exhaled forcefully through her nose, causing sand to enter her nose.

"Why is the wind so strong today?"

As she spoke, she picked up the water next to her and took a small sip. She still had about 800ml of water left.

After drinking, I immediately wrapped myself tightly in the quilt and went out to take a look. There was no box and it was not raining or snowing, just a strong wind.

She returned to the cave and continued to sleep. Her feet were now cold and she was woken up by the cold countless times throughout the night. Her body temperature felt like only a few degrees.

Fortunately, she successfully saw the sun on the fifth day.

He picked up the water bottle next to him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a cut appeared and blood oozed out.

She used to be fair and clean, but now she looks completely different.

In just 4 days, I was exposed to the sun and wind without any water, and I didn't wash my face once. My face was no different from the dry and cracked earth.

Even though she spent most of her time in the cave, her hands were still sunburned after she rolled up her sleeves, forming a sharp boundary between her skin color and that under her clothes, and her originally straight black hair was now messy.

She took three big bites of the baguette and ate them with two sips of water. She was ready to practice ring tossing, but no new wooden boxes had appeared outside yet.

She didn't know how long it took before the first box of the day appeared. Luckily, it appeared on the safe road she had confirmed.

But due to the special situation yesterday, she did not walk directly over, but threw stones along the way, which was safe. But until she was within a one-meter radius of the box, as a stone was thrown, the yellow sand under the box began to flow.

Fortunately, the distance was close enough, and Feng Chan hit the target with just one try. Without the weight, the quicksand returned to normal after swallowing the stone.

She had clearly walked past the box yesterday, so it was safe. To understand the rules, Feng Chan dropped another empty box into the same spot. If this was to become a permanent quicksand area, she would have to be careful to avoid it.

The box fell to the ground, making a dull thud as it hit the desert, but the ground didn't move at all. She dropped another stone, and it was still fine.

She already had a preliminary conclusion in her mind, but it still needed to be verified.

I picked up the empty box and stones, returned to the cave and opened a new box.

Looking at a blue cylindrical plastic tube, Feng Chan was a little confused. Why did this thing look like the outlet of a bottled water?

But this box can't hold bottled water.

Looking at the contents with the naked eye, there is only an outlet and nothing else. Could it be that I have opened up garbage?

No matter what it is, let's take it out first. Thinking of this, Feng Chan reached in with her right hand and found that this thing was ridiculously heavy.

This time she used her left hand as well, exerting force with both hands as the thing was pulled out, revealing its full appearance.

It really is a barrel of water! And it’s 18.9 liters!

Feng Chan was surprised for a moment, but was soon replaced by joy. Although it was unbelievable, her three views had been overturned in these days. Everything here was magical, and it was not impossible for the box to hold things far beyond its size.

The most important thing is that she won't be short of water in the next few days. Although she still has to use it sparingly, she won't have to take only a few sips a day like in the previous few days.

Picking up the 500ml water bottle in the cave, which still had about 100ml in it, Feng Chan rewarded herself by drinking it all in one gulp. The long-lost feeling of drinking freely made her sigh with satisfaction, and her dry flesh seemed to come back to life.

In addition to this large bucket of water, she also has an unopened bottle of 500ml and 200ml water, which can be used for half a month as long as she drinks it regularly.

Putting the bucket of water at the innermost part of the cave, Feng Chan picked up a stone and threw it into the quicksand where she had marked the scorpion corpse.

rustle--

The yellow sand began to flow, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

After practicing the ring-tossing technique for a while, the second box appeared at noon and Feng Chan successfully got it.

There were three in the afternoon, and she won them all without any trouble.

The four boxes contained: a pair of size 40 sandals, two 200g red bean mooncakes, a beige silk scarf, and an iron block.

They were all useful things. Although the slippers were a bit big, they were much better than the smelly sneakers. Feng Chan changed into them immediately.

In the evening, she ate baguette with water, and that was her last meal of the day.

There was only 1/3 of the baguette left, and she had almost finished the 200ml bottle of water, leaving only a little to drink at night.

Each of the five boxes opened today had quicksand underneath. The quicksand underneath one of the boxes was as wide as five or six meters, and there were only seven pebbles left.

The rules have changed from the first day. Wherever the box appears, regardless of whether it was safe before, it will turn into quicksand, but it will return to normal after the box is swallowed or taken away.

The area that was quicksand before has not changed for the time being.

The stars are high in the sky and the temperature is getting lower.

Feng Chan was shivering from the cold. When she was brought here, she was only wearing a blue spring sweatshirt and a pair of black trousers. Even though Xia Liang wrapped herself tightly, the wind still kept blowing through her thin defenses and into her body.

I don’t know how long it took, Feng Chan squatted in the cave, unable to sleep, really unable to sleep, the ground was too cold.

When she looked outside through the gap in the cave, she found that there was not a single star left and it was pitch black outside. A few days ago, she could vaguely see the situation outside with the stars and the moon, but this time it was almost completely dark.

"Is it going to rain?" Feng Chan thought so, and came to the entrance of the cave with a quilt wrapped around her. In order to prevent the wind, she used all the wooden boxes to block the entrance. However, due to their irregular shape, there were gaps everywhere, and sometimes the strong wind would blow the wooden boxes down, scaring her awake from her dream.

She had just taken the two wooden boxes and was about to stick her head out when suddenly there was a loud sound of rain around her. Countless raindrops hit the ground, and a faint earthy smell filled the air.

Feng Chan was stunned for two seconds, then pushed over the wooden boxes at the entrance of the cave, opened them one by one and placed them outside.

Rainwater is a good thing. Although it cannot be drunk directly, it can be used to clean the body. God knows how uncomfortable she feels when her body is covered in sweat every day.

After drinking the last sip of water in the 200ml bottle, Feng Chan took another 200ml and 500ml empty water bottles and placed them between the gaps in the wooden box. Although the bottle mouths were small and might not catch much rainwater, a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

Seeing the water in the box constantly increasing, Feng Chan was so happy that she almost forgot about the cold.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and she shivered. Her joy lasted only three seconds before she was brought back to reality.

The temperature was too low today, so Feng Chan simply decided not to sleep. She did very little exercise during the day, so it was okay to sleep a little less at night.

The rain continued for almost two hours, gradually increasing in intensity. Feng Chan was already dozing off against the wall.

She was awakened by the sun the next day.
