Apocalyptic Forecast

Chapter 447: The essence of travel

Before leaving Darwin, the last thing Huai Shi did was to take out the phone and turn it off.

According to the crow: since the pursuit of excitement, then follow through ... Well, although the original word is not this, it always means the same.

After all, this is the current situation, there is no place where astronomy will not receive the signal.

Do n’t mention emergency rescue with a phone call, even the track strike can prepare you.

If you drove your phone all the way, swiped on Weibo, sang songs, and sent a circle of friends, wouldn't it be a little risky?

Soon afterwards, he found himself blind.

--He is lost.

Australia has more than 16% iron ore in the world.

Well, that is what the high school geography book says, at least in the current situation.

Nai Huai Shi didn't think of this stubbornly until the compass started turning like crazy dogs ... Ghost knows how much magnetite is buried in this broken desert!

When he was about to make a U-turn, he found that he couldn't even find his way back.

What's even worse is that even the position of the stars is constantly changing.

The Big Dipper in this broken place is just like the big carousel of some unscrupulous lottery sites. If you are idle, you will be forced to turn around. Any direction will point, but it will not tell you where the correct direction is.

People are in Australia and the waves are lost.

The entire huge desert looks like an invisible labyrinth. It looks like a piece of wasteland and yellow sand, but in fact it is constantly changing.

Like a senior patient in a lunatic asylum, Huai Shi laughed sharply and laughed whenever he was depressed.

You don't move, I want to move, you move, I move, you move, I move blindly ...

The seemingly monotonous barren world, in fact, seems to be a chaotic field that is not rotating and stirring all the time. Once inside, the whole person will be lost in the endless heat and desolation.

Fortunately, even if it is already so chaotic, the sun still maintains the original law of ascending and descending, which can make Huai Shi reluctantly find a direction during the alternation of morning and night.

There are also few local ‘friends’.

"Excuse me, which side is south."

Huaishi squatted next to a cactus like a neuropathy. He grinned his hands and pressed his thorns, asking tirelessly: "Don't be so fierce, brother, you have a bad temper. Hey ... I'll ask This way, south, where is the south? Where is the sun rising? Brother, you look only four or five years old, how come Parkinson? I ’ll water the head office for you, right? "

Resisting their hard thorns, Huai Shi repeatedly asked the three close cacti, sea buckthorns and shrubs, and finally determined the direction.

Then, while the night was thick, Huai Shi glanced left and right to make sure that there was no one on both sides, then whistled and poured water on the three little brothers.

Everyone takes what they need, and getting along is quite pleasant.

Among all the plant circles that Huai Shi has seen, the plant circle in the desert is arguably the most exclusive and stingy kind.

Being able to survive in such a harsh environment is inherently necessary for all sun, water and even nutrition.

It's like Darwin's blackhearted merchants.

For the foreign mountain ghosts such as Huaishi, they are simply too lazy to take care of it, and some even repel them extremely. At the moment of contact, they directly refused the communication of Huaishi.

Resolutely not distribute a small amount of water and nutrients to foreign vegetatives.

Unless Huaixi also took out the water in exchange.

But after so many days, Huai Shi had some experience and gains anyway-especially when he found out that this group of local brothers did not care what the water you provided ...

In this way, in the two days forward, I found a shade in the daytime to sleep, and rushed at night in the evening.

While looking at the map, Huai Shi looked at the active volcano that spewed lava intermittently in the distance, and finally determined his approximate location.

He has gradually crossed the edge of the desert and is officially entering its official range.

Looking up at the gray sky in the distance and the thunder, Huai Shi reached out and took off the gas mask from the backpack suspension and put it on his face.

Then fasten the zipper and buttons of the clothes.

Before he finished his preparations, the dark clouds in the sky had drifted away, and then, the dust was floating from the sky like a blizzard.

The dust was mixed with fine ice crystals, which crackled on the goggles of the mask.

As the hurricane swept through, Huai Shi could only bend over and carry his backpack hard.

Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be rolled into a gourd by the strong wind, and when climbing some sand dunes, I will even pull out the rope first and fix myself.

Otherwise, it will be easily buried in the dune of the turbulent.

From time to time, pollution clouds from distant industrial cities will drift into the desert, bringing dust and pungent smog and making the desert environment worse.

He finally understood why Lucien's list repeatedly emphasized the need for a gas mask.

After a gray snow, a filter that can work for three days in industrial pollution is completely reimbursed, and the filter reserve of Huai Shi is simply not enough.

He can only use his brain to reform himself.

Today, on both sides of the mask, on the outer side of the filter element are two happy water cans welded by Huai Shi with a forbidden hand. After layering imitating the structure of a hookah, they are poured into the filtrate that is often used in alchemy.

Every time he gasped, he could hear the grunting sound in the jar. The pungent smell could not be completely isolated even from the filter element.

Fortunately, it's just bad smell, and the harm is not great. Even the resilience of mountain ghosts that have been weakened to the limit in the desert can still be dealt with reluctantly.

During the difficult climb, Huai Shi did not step on one foot, staggered, and was immediately knocked down on the ground by the howling wind, rolling in awkwardness, and the moment the mask fell off his face, Huai Shi felt like he was cruel Took a big mouthful of concentrated acid.

Instantly lost the sense of breathing.

I can't feel the presence of my heart.

After he hurriedly clasped the mask for a long time, he finally felt the hot pain from the cramps of the internal organs.

He suspected that his eyes were all reddened by the old haze.

Why is pollution in Australia so strong!

Later, he dared not to move on the ground. He was buried by ashes and dust, and was blown away by the strong wind. Eventually, with the roar of distant volcanoes, the gray dust rain and snow gradually dissipated.

Among the turbid yellow and dusty gray, Huai Shi finally raised his head and got up from the ground, shaking his body hard, throwing away the corrosive chemicals scraped into his sleeves and trouser legs.

In the end, the unkempt man sat on the sand pile, staring dullly at the ray of sunlight that was gradually rising in the sky.

It's dawn.

He was finally relieved, got up, looked around, and found a backlit place, struggling to support his tent.

After getting in, the clothes didn't have time to change, so he lay on the sleeping bag.

I don't want to move.

"It's still too weak ..."

He murmured softly, closing his eyes.

After a while, the snore sounded.

.

.

Before this, Huai Shi never thought of this desert, the most dangerous thing is not the day, but the night.

During the day it is just hot and unbearable, but at night, waiting for people is not to see the end of the torture. Similarly, what is most disturbing is not the yellow sand that has no end in sight, but the ruined towns in the ruins that have long been abandoned ...

Just get close and you will feel the instinctive depression.

Those are the gathering places built by the fugitives, or the temporary towns established in the great gold rush sixty years ago, or the settlements that were gradually abandoned as the water source disappeared ... The vast majority remain Those tattered walls, and the vague corners in the yellow sand.

There are invisible enemies here.

No, it should be said that what you see is just the enemy ...

In this case, the combat power he had gained in the past did not come to any use at all, and after stripping off his omnipotent illusion, the young boy who survived remained indistinguishable from ordinary people in the face of maliciousness from the entire world .

If it were n’t for Crow and Besib, who would occasionally chat with him a few times, he might have tried his best to go home.

Traveling is a particularly difficult thing, and it is often asking for trouble.

Now he finally understands this matter.

I also fully understand my own insignificance.

But it was so ... he felt more and more looking forward to the next journey.

It was like taking advantage of the group owner's inattentiveness to send a yellow figure without being kicked, braving the sky and snow to expose the sharp buds of the buds from the iceberg, and growing his own branches in this barren desert.

It's really fun to die.

Especially in this adversity that has never been experienced.

He felt that he must be sick.

But shouldn't the true essence of travel be like this?

There are always challenges.

After a long sleep, Huai Shi got up again and stretched a lazy waist to the distant sunset. On the small gas stove next to it, the water in the canister was tumbling with the compressed biscuits thrown into it.

You can eat it almost after they cook a porridge.

The taste is very unpleasant, but at least it is full.

While waiting, he took out pen and paper and a map and worked out his next route. I checked the supply and equipment on the other side again, and confirmed that the situation was still within the scope of my own response.

Huaishi rubbed a spoon and began to gobble up his own breakfast.

Take a three-minute break after eating.

Pack your things and get ready to go.

A new day, a new deflation, just started.

In the following suffering times, Huai Shi found out that there are at least a few advantages here.

That is, he can stop thinking.

At the beginning, he would still have a lot of thoughts in his head, including what to eat at night, how about the future, including his future life, employment direction, and even how to find a girlfriend. When you are away, you will idle things.

But as he stepped deeper and deeper, more and more tired and sleepy, those messy thoughts went away as quickly as the sea water at low tide.

In the end, only the simplest instinct remained.

Take the left foot, and then take the right foot again.

He will continue to move forward ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Besides, nothing else is important in this long walking tour.

Above the head is a constantly changing starry sky, in front of which is an endless barren desert.

When the crows stopped talking, the only thing that accompanied Huai Shi was the long silence and the distant wind, as well as the deep rhythm from the heart.

Breathing, breathing, breathing, breathing ...

If it is repeated, then move forward step by step.

His heart was empty.

No longer worry about the problems of the past days, and do not think about those distant futures.

For a moment, there was a deep awakening in Huai Shi's heart.

-He lives in the moment.
