Survival male god

Chapter 262 Is it so fancy?

The chance encounter with Jennifer was just a small episode in the desert journey.

Chen Jing quickly forgot about this matter, because all his energy was spent on finding fresh water.

"If you don't drink water for three days, your life will be in danger. If you are in a hot desert, dehydration will kill you in just one day."

"So how do we get access to precious water when we're stuck in the desert?"

“We mentioned earlier that you can get water from plants, and you can also use condensation to collect night dew, but there are some tricks that are often overlooked.”

"These tips and tricks are very simple, but they can increase your chances of survival in an emergency."

"If you can't find fresh water visible to the naked eye on the surface, the first thing to do is to look for somewhere with life."

"Plants, insects, animals, there may be water sources nearby these creatures."

"The second place to look for is in the low-lying areas of the desert. Water flows to lower areas. This is an iron law that remains unchanged for thousands of years."

"You have to look for canyons, river beds, wet places. If you dig down a few meters in these locations, groundwater may seep out."

"The most risky method is to drink raw animal blood, but most of the time, I don't recommend this. Drinking raw animal blood may lead to infection with bacteria, parasites, etc..."

"These are all the ways to survive in the desert and find water sources. If there is no valley in front of me, I will go there before dark. If it is not a desolate place, I think I will be able to solve the drinking water crisis."

"For thousands of years, the Berbers have relied on these methods to find water sources to survive on this ancient land. They are still active in the Sahara Desert, and I can definitely do the same."

"The continuation of human civilization is also the inheritance of the crystallization of wisdom. Every time we go to a place, in addition to consulting a large amount of information."

“I will also learn survival skills from experienced local elders.”

"A Berber herder told me that across the yellow sand, between the gravel plains and the valleys, you can usually find moist lowlands."

"They don't know why there is water here, but the geological survey results gave an extremely surprising answer."

"There are many fossils of shellfish and ancient marine creatures in the Sahara Desert, which shows that 2 years ago, there was most likely a vast ocean here."

"Ten thousand years ago, due to plate movements, the continent was raised, climate changes and rainfall created many rivers here. The center of the desert was actually a vast impact plain."

"A large amount of groundwater gathers in ancient underground rivers. The rivers have not disappeared. Their veins are buried deep underground, preserving the last vitality of this desert."

"It is precisely because of these precious underground water resources that nearly 1000 million ancient Berbers can survive to this day. They can be found from Morocco to Algeria and even further east in Libya and Egypt."

"There is an old saying in our country, which is to apply what you learn."

"Now, it's time to prove that my previous efforts are by no means in vain."

As Chen Jing walked along, there were many unknown weeds growing on the gravel plain. It couldn't even be called a savanna. Occasionally, feces and animal bones could be seen on the ground.

They were scattered in a mess among the rocks, turning white, with all their fur and flesh falling off. It was unknown how long they had been dead.

"It looks like a camel bone. It's very big. Which part of this half-moon-shaped bone is it? It may be the hip bone of the hind leg."

"It's good for digging, so I decided to take it with me."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting over the mountains, and the temperature between heaven and earth was gradually decreasing. Chen Jing suddenly felt much better. At least the hot feeling that had always permeated his whole body was slowly fading.

But he also felt increasingly thirsty, his throat was tight, his lips were cracked, and the saliva in his mouth was as dry and sticky as glue, and he couldn't spit it out at all.

This is a sign of dehydration. As you walk further back, you will gradually feel dizzy and weak in your limbs.

Chen Jing described to the audience how he felt at the moment, which made many fans start to worry.

Of course, there are some people who feel that he is bringing it upon himself.

It was clear that he had just had the opportunity to get help from Jennifer, but he refused it out of dignity or arrogance. Now he has suffered a bitter pill and does not deserve sympathy at all.

Regarding this, Chen Jing didn't want to explain anything. It didn't matter whether he was arrogant or confident.

He just feels that the bottom line cannot be broken little by little. If he accepts the resources, can he also take a free ride and save thousands of kilometers of travel? In this case, what is the meaning of the challenge?
Crossing the Sahara on foot without resources was a goal he must achieve, and for this he was willing to take any risks.

"There is nothing to discuss about this kind of thing. Don't dominate the anchor, just watch it. Aren't you watching the live broadcast just for fun?"

"Why get so angry? It's not worth it. Besides..."

"When have you ever seen me act stupid?"

"Taking risks is not stupid. At best, it's a game, a game with fate!" "Look, what's in front of you?"

Chen Jing suddenly raised his arm, and the camera focused far away in time.

What was originally a flat gravel plain suddenly appeared several criss-crossing valleys, with large clumps of green plants growing in the low-lying areas.

"Plants with thick leaves or stems are supported by considerable water resources. Obviously, this is a geomantic treasure passed down by the Berber people from generation to generation."

"They ride camels to search for the source of life in the desert, and then use special camel skins or sheepskin bags to bring water back to their habitats, day after day."

"Now, I'm going to find a damp place and prepare to dig a well."

Chen Jing jogged all the way to the low valley area. After careful observation, he chose a location, put his backpack aside, and started digging with the camel bones he had just picked up.

"In fact, the sand is so soft that it can be easily dug out even with water."

“But if you have the tools, you can get twice the result with half the effort!”

"I have just dug a few places shallowly, and this is the wettest of them all. The sand is already caked under one meter, and there is a high probability of water underneath."

"I don't know how deep I have to dig before water seeps out, but I won't give up."

"Give it a try, I don't think it will disappoint me!"

Chen Jing placed all his bets in the sand pit at his feet. He could only succeed and was not allowed to fail.

"Even if it is, I will die here without a chance to try other methods!"

Huchihuchi~
Chen Jing kept digging with his arms, and more and more sand was dug out of the pit.

In less than an hour, he dug out nearly two square meters of sand.

The bottom is also visibly becoming moister, with less and less gravel and stones, until it turns into mud.

At [-]:[-] pm, for two full hours, the depth of the bunker was almost as deep as Chen Jing's.

But in the pit, it was still just relatively sticky mud, with no living water seeping out.

Chen Jing was so tired that he could barely straighten his waist. His muscles were so sore all over his body. Even though he had a strong physique, he still felt pain under such high-intensity work.

But compared with life, these are small things.

The audience, from questioning at the beginning, to ridicule, to silence.

Everyone stopped talking now, because Chen Jing's tenacity impressed everyone in front of the screen.

Looking back now, the man in the camera seems to have remained the same from beginning to end.

He is still the same terrifyingly strong-willed guy.

Is Chen Jing really a fool for being able to achieve this level of anchoring?
Far from it, on the contrary, he was smarter than most.

He also knows better than anyone else what exactly he is doing?
Regardless of success or failure, this quality is worthy of admiration. What he has to do is never challenge for the sake of completing the challenge. He enjoys the process of fighting against the sky, the earth, and people.

Rather than defeating nature, it is better to say that he is defeating himself.

At [-]:[-] pm, as the muddy camel bones fell, a completely different banging sound from before reached my ears.

That was the sound of water splashing. There was water at the bottom of the sand pit!

Chen Jing stuck the camel bone in the mud. The expression on his face was as pious as a pilgrim. He carefully picked up a handful of muddy water and drank it in big gulps.

he made it!

He successfully found fresh water in the desert by relying on his own strength.

At the same time, a crisp system prompt sounded from his mind.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host, you have unlocked the achievement - "Desert Water Seeker" and received instant rewards:? ? ? , this item is located in the southwest, 350 meters, please collect it in time]

Chen Jing's forehead was full of question marks, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Is this dog system so fun to play now?"
