It has been three days since I left the supply station. At first, Wan Yi really thought that Lin Jianxue was deliberately trying torture himself and threw away most of the outdoor supplies he had carefully prepared. Except for some small pieces, such as flashlights, water cups, compass, socks, etc., the others were replaced with silly and thick, which looked like they were the same as migrant workers' equipment. Even his shoes were not left behind. The lightweight sand shoes turned into thick and heavy leather boots in a blink of an eye, which made him feel uncomfortable when walking.

But as time went by, Wan Yi gradually realized that Lin Jianxue did this not to punish him, but to his good. Don’t look at Wan Yi’s famous brand goods, but in fact, although it is good as famous outdoor products, these things are almost flashy in exploration teams like them.

Let’s talk about his Archaeopteryx backpack and jacket. This brand is very good among outdoor products. However, although these clothes and backpacks, which are known as nanotechnology, are light and light, they do not have the inconspicuous work clothes in the wild with difficult conditions. To give the simplest example, they walked through a poplar forest yesterday, and stayed in the poplar forest and took samples for inspection. If he was wearing the original jacket at that time, he would have been torn after finishing these tasks. However, the thick work clothes were drilled in and out of the woods, leaving a few shallow scratches, and there were no damage at all.

There are also thick leather boots on his feet. Team member Wang Xiaoshan told him that when working in the wild, he often encounters various complex terrain, and there are also many poisonous insects in the desert. If you don’t wear these steel-clad boots, if you are ordinary shoes, let alone go such a long way, once you get poisonous into the shoes or bite through the soles of the shoes, the result can be imagined.

More importantly, wild animals often appear in the grasslands and deserts. For example, the outdoor equipment before Wan Yi was too bright in color, which easily attracted the attention of animals, because this was in the northwest where conditions were difficult, not in the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River. Such bright outfits were very unsafe to be active in the wild, but those inconspicuous outfits were more suitable.

The ancients said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. Wan Yi finally understood the truth of this sentence at this moment. In just three days, he even felt that he had learned more than he had in his three years in college. Not only did he learn valuable knowledge of survival in the wild from Lin Jianxue and other exploration team members, but he also learned the hardships of geological exploration in practice.

At the beginning, Zhang Liyun felt that Wan Yi would definitely not be able to hold on, but unexpectedly, Wan Yi completed the role adjustment in just three days. Although he was far inferior to ordinary exploration team members in terms of experience and ability, his spirit of not being afraid of hardship made Zhang Liyun, who looked down on Wan Yi at first, look at him with some admiration.

Today, the exploration team completed the work of the designated area. In the evening, they set up camp in the selected area. Camping in the wild is very particular. On the first day, Wan Yi made a joke. According to his experience outdoors, he found it strange because the place where the exploration team camped is far away from a river, and he did not choose an upwind, but was in a place 2 miles away from the river at the lower wind.

He raised questions at that time. According to his experience in outdoor activities, the best camping place should be close to water sources, leewards, far cliffs, near villages, shady backs, and lightning protection. However, in addition to being close to villages, the exploration team does not have the need for far cliffs. Instead, it is chosen to be in the sunny place, let alone lightning protection, and they did not consider this at all when choosing a site.

Wan Yi raised his question, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter. After Wang Xiaoshan, who had been responsible for taking care of him, and Wang Xiaoshan, who had a good relationship, explained to him in a low voice, Wan Yi's face turned red. It turned out that camping around the desert and grasslands not only had to consider the requirements of ordinary camping, but also other factors, such as near the water source. This place is a place where animals often go in and out. Whether it is herbivores or carnivores, they cannot do without water sources. Once camping directly is too close to the water source, it is easy to cause danger.

As for the downwind position, it is also to avoid the animal's sense of smell to ensure safety. The shady and shady are also changed with different terrain and environment. The heat in the desert is high, and some poisonous insects living underground often hide in the shady place. At this time, camping should take this into consideration. If the temperature is not a huge difference, try to choose the shady place, which is safer than the shady direction.

After camping, the sun began to set. The work of the field exploration team was hard and boring. After a busy day, only a few hours before going to bed were leisure time every day. The dried meat was cooked in the pot, the steamed buns that could be preserved for a long time in my hand, and the canned vegetables and the cooked milk tea. This was a very hearty dinner.

After dinner, several people sat around the campfire. The temperature difference between day and night in the northwest was extremely large. It was nearly 30 degrees at noon and even 40 degrees may reach 40 degrees. At night, the temperature will be as low as a few degrees, so the insulation at night must be done to avoid getting sick.

"Give it, let's drink another cup of milk tea to warm up your body." Wang Xiaoshan handed a pot to Wan Yi. Wan Yi said thank you, poured a cup of milk tea into the cup and held it in his hand and drank it in a small sip. Due to the limited conditions, this milk tea is only cooked with the most ordinary brick tea, but the milk tastes mellow, and the fatigue of drinking a day seems to be dispelled.

"I said, great scholar, it's not bad! It's like our brothers in a few days." Wu Jun, who was sitting on Wan Yi's right, smiled and joked with him. In addition to his skin not as dark and rough as those of them, Wan Yi's whole dress is no different from that of ordinary exploration team members. Even his originally neat hair is messed up due to wind and sand. In the wild, even if you wash your hair every day, it's useless to wash your hair when you just washed your hair. When the hair is blown by the wind and sand, they will gradually go deeper into the desert. Water sources in the desert are very important, and every drop of water cannot be wasted.

Wan Yi smiled. He felt that this was his recognition and appreciation for himself, and these days he could clearly feel that the team members who were originally cold to him gradually became a little closer to him.

After saying a few polite words, Wan Yi humbly asked the team members for the next precautions. Because they were just around the desert before, they were going to enter the desert next, and the desert was called the Sea of ​​Death. After all, Wan Yi was unwilling to feel a little nervous when he stepped into this Sea of ​​Death for the first time.

"Actually, the desert is not as terrible as you think. It is safe as long as you are ready." Wang Xiaoshan comforted.

Wu Jun also patted his shoulder and said, "Yes, we have to travel back and forth in the desert for several months every year. Isn't it okay? Besides, our Team Lin is an old expert. He can tell this area well, so don't worry, kid."

After hearing this, Wan Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but who would have thought that Qin Shouyi suddenly interrupted: "Don't listen to these two boys' nonsense, how can the desert be without danger? Xiao Wan, when you enter the desert, you must remember that you must follow our footprints. If you accidentally fall into the quicksand river, don't panic, and don't struggle blindly, because the more you struggle, the faster you sink."

"Liusha River?" Wan Yi was stunned. Why did the name sound so familiar? Then he thought about it and remembered it. Isn't this the river that monk Sha stayed in "Journey to the West"? I remember the book describes Liusha River like this: Eight hundred Liusha Realms, three thousand weak waters. Goose feathers cannot rise, and reed flowers sink to the bottom. (To be continued...)
