1489 Supply
The stone camel looks desperate and sober.
"We have no water. Even if we don't lose our way, usually people will be exhausted after just one day of traveling."
Shituo said soberly, "The desert is different from other places. On ordinary land, it is possible to walk fifty miles a day, but in the desert, due to various factors such as sand dunes blocking the road, sand, weather, wind, rain, and sun exposure, , it’s hard for you to walk ten miles, and that’s if you have supplies.”
Looking at the people around him, Shituo said desperately, "I know there are some masters among you, but ordinary people lack supplies. Basically, after a day, they will no longer have the strength to move..."
When he spoke, he was looking at Zhao Ji and the others.
Although Zhao Ji and others had suffered a lot of humiliation and hardship after coming out of Bianjing, looking at Zhao Ji and Li Bin, they still had tender skin and tender flesh. Shi Tuo knew that these were by no means hard-working people.
"Even if it's you..."
Shi Tuo looked at Shen Yue and said, "Abandoning all the burdens, the possibility of reaching Peacock Island is slim."
Everyone was heartbroken, wondering if everyone was going to die here?
Shen Yue was actually very calm, "You also said that it will be difficult to move without supplies. But what if we can find supplies?"
Shituo was stunned, "Where are the supplies?"
Shen Yue looked at Wang Shuangquan, "Didn't you say that your caravan camped at a secret water source and was blown here by the wind?"
Everyone cheered up, they had indeed heard what Wang Shuangquan said, but only Shen Yue kept this in mind.
Shi Tuo looked stunned.
"When was that?" Shen Yue asked.
Wang Shuangquan nodded timidly, "It was at midnight. But I was blown into the air by the wind, and I became dizzy. I don't know how far I was blown. I'm afraid I can't find the source of water."
Shituo frowned and said, "I don't know what this guy is talking about. As far as I know, there is no water source nearby, nor any hidden water source."
Everyone was slightly surprised.
Shen Yue said thoughtfully, "Aren't you together?"
Shi Tuo shook his head and said, "He and I are not in the same caravan, but after the storm..." Seemingly hesitant, Shi Tuo paused and said: "After we met, we didn't say a few words before we saw your direction. There was something strange, so I came to check it out.”
"What's strange?" Wanyanlie asked.
Shi Tuo hesitated, "The storm had passed by then, but there was a strange vortex in the sky where you were, which connected to the desert."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They had gone from Shangjing to the desert. They didn't know what was going on. But when Shi Tuo said this, some people couldn't help but wonder - did we appear from the whirlpool to the desert?
Shen Yue raised his head and glanced at the sky, and muttered: "So... you don't know each other." He also hesitated.
Shituo shook his head.
Wang Shuangquan said, "You don't know me, but I know you. You are the most famous guide walking this route. I have met you." Wang Shuangquan scratched his head and said with a guilty conscience: "I have always been an inconspicuous person. Guide.”
Li Bin smiled and said, "You kid, haven't you managed to show off over the years?"
Wang Shuangquan nodded in shame.
Shen Yue frowned, "So, Shi Tuo, you don't know the secret water source that Wang Shuangquan talked about?"
Shituo shook his head affirmatively, "There is no secret water source in the three-day journey."
Wang Shuangquan wanted to defend himself, but seemed a little afraid - superstitious authority seemed to be the case.
At this time, the sun rose early and shone on everyone, driving away the chill, but making everyone feel even more uneasy, because everyone knew that when the sun rose, it would probably be the beginning of hardship for them.
Shen Yue thought: "Wang Shuangquan said that he was swept up by a tornado. Is it possible that the wind carried him farther?"
Wang Shuangquan nodded repeatedly, "That should be the case."
Shi Tuo was silent for a moment and finally said, "It is possible. We may have encountered different storms."
Shen Yue said slowly, "Wang Shuangquan is confused, but you have rich experience in the Shituo Desert, so you naturally know how far you were swept away?"
Shi Tuo nodded again, "I stayed awake when I was swept away. According to my estimation, I should have been swept away for a distance of five miles."
Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "Then do you know which direction you were swept away from?"
Shituo lowered his head for a moment and pointed to the northwest, "There. The wind blew from northwest to southeast. I remember clearly."
When everyone heard this, they secretly thought that this man was worthy of being a camel in the desert, and he was as safe as a camel.
Shen Yue nodded slightly, "Are you following the caravan?" This seemed to be nonsense, but Shen Yue immediately said, "Of course your caravan is bringing supplies?"
Wanyan Xiyin suddenly realized, "As long as we follow the direction and find the supplies for the caravan, we can survive?"
Zhao Ji and Li Bin both looked excited.
Shi Tuo then poured a basin of cold water over, "I'm afraid this man has never experienced a desert storm."
Wanyan Xiyin realized that there might be something wrong with what he said, and humbly said: "That's true. I don't know what Bucai said, what's the problem?"
Shituo said slowly: "The storm is unpredictable, and the desert is vast. I was blown here, and I couldn't even see my companions. This shows the power of the storm. The goods were naturally blown to pieces, and they would definitely be covered by the sand. .This is a desert. The goods are buried under the sand. You may not find them even if you step on them. You have to dig to find out."
Wanyan Xiyin's eyelids twitched slightly.
Shi Tuo said one word at a time, "Looking for supplies in the vast desert is actually the same as gambling on your life." After a moment of silence, Shi Tuo sobered up and said: "At this time, do you choose to dig in the sand or move forward?"
Wanyan Xiyin looked at the undulating desert in the distance and sighed, "That's not the right thing to do."
The excitement on Zhao Ji and Li Bin's faces froze.
Shen Yue said, "As long as you choose the right direction, I can come to look for supplies, and... I'm very sure to find them!"
Everyone was stunned.
Wanyan Lie also couldn't understand how Shen Yue could do this. He was also a realistic person and knew that what Shi Tuo said was correct.
Shituo was startled for a moment, looking very suspicious, but seeing Shen Yue's firm expression, he finally said: "Although I don't think we people can walk out of the desert alive, but since this man said so, you saved him again." What's the harm in giving my life back to you?"
He stood up and said, "Let's go."
The stone camel walks like a camel. It seems slow, but it moves at an even speed. This is the most energy-saving method.
Shen Yue followed him, took out his mobile phone, and turned to the wave measurement panel.
Wanyan Lie and Yang Yao were behind Shen Yue again. Wanyan Lie suddenly said, "Zhai Leader Yang, among the people here, you can be considered a figure."
Yang Yao was slightly surprised, because he knew that Wanyan Lie had a very high self-esteem, and such a person would not praise others easily. He knew that there would be some test in such praise, so Yang Yao replied: "I don't dare to accept it."
Wanyan Lie said as expected, "Do you see what Shen Yue is doing? If it were you, how would you find the supplies left by the desert caravan?"
