Su Han sat down to rest, waiting for it to get dark before continuing on. However, in the evening, many unexpected situations occurred.
First, she felt sudden fatigue and even dizziness.
Secondly, there was a sudden strong wind in the desert, and yellow sand filled the sky, covering up much of the camel caravan's footprints.
Eventually, the gunshot site becomes inflamed, leading to an "infected" condition.
Su Han sighed and dealt with things one by one.
The body sweats a lot and the salt is constantly lost, which leads to physical discomfort. She took out some salt and added a little to the mineral water. The problem can be solved by taking enough light salt water.
The general direction of the camel caravan has been noted. If the footprints in the distance are not covered, they should be found again after walking a distance.
I carry a lot of drugs with me, and I can get rid of the negative state by taking any drug.
Even so, Su Han still felt a sense of self-doubt for no reason. After walking for several days, he was still wandering in the desert. If he had known this would happen, why did he go through all the trouble to get here? Wouldn't it be enough to just stay where he was?
What's worse is that she felt that she was wasting her energy. In common sense of survival, there is a concept called the law of caloric balance. It means that when you are hungry, you should estimate the caloric consumption before starting a certain behavior. If the caloric consumption of a behavior of obtaining food is close to or greater than the caloric consumption of the food obtained, then there is no need to implement this behavior.
Judging from the current situation, she has consumed a lot of physical strength, energy, and supplies, but failed to find the oasis. This means that the consumption is greater than the gain, and her behavior is unnecessary.
Although he knew that if he didn't set out to look for it, he would never encounter the oasis, and that only by trying would there be a chance of finding it, at this moment, Su Han couldn't help but become anxious.
"I didn't expect that staying in the desert for a long time alone would easily lead to self-loathing and self-doubt." Su Han sighed lightly, feeling a little overwhelmed.
But after a moment, she packed her things, calmed down, and continued to move in the direction of the footprints in her memory.
This is what Su Han thought - since she had a lot of supplies, she could just waste a little and just make room.
If you have money, you can be so willful!
On the 7th day, she finally found the camel caravan's footprints again.
On the 8th day, an oasis appeared before her, as if within her reach.
Su Han was filled with joy. Although she thought it might be another mirage, she still went to check it out. Fortunately, this time it was not a mirage, but a real oasis!
At noon on the 8th day, Su Han finally succeeded in finding an oasis.
**
Surrounded by trees, there is a rare bit of green.
Su Han walked in and was hit by a cool breeze.
Looking in the direction of the coolness, she saw a lot of ice cubes on a stall. Then, she spotted a familiar figure.
Su Han was speechless for a moment - his friend was really flirtatious wherever he went, and he couldn't keep a low profile at all. In the vast crowd, he was the most conspicuous one.
A long line had already formed in front of the stall. People came to Zhong Rui with jewelry, gold nuggets, gorgeous clothes, spices and fine salt, asking to exchange them for ice cubes.
After the deal was done, people's faces were filled with unconcealable joy and they left happily with ice cubes in their hands.
Su Han was very puzzled. Why wasn't this guy afraid of being robbed?
After walking around the oasis, Su Han discovered that this ice-selling business was actually the only one. No wonder others begged to exchange with Zhong Rui, it was a monopoly industry!
Then, she calmly watched her friends collect money and stuff handfuls of jewels into the leather bag.
The ice cubes gradually became less and less. When they were sold out, Zhong Rui announced loudly, "Today's ice cubes are sold out, hurry up tomorrow!"
Everyone showed disappointment at the same time, but they could only leave helplessly.
"No one is robbing?" Su Han found it quite strange and came over to talk to his friend.
"I've warned you that I'll leave immediately if someone robs me." Zhong Rui glanced at Su Han and complained, "Why are you here just now? Which game is this?"
Mentioning this matter, Su Han felt inexplicably aggrieved, "Don't mention it, I almost got lost in that sinful desert."
I encountered quicksand, mirages, and strange players. It was a very difficult journey.
Zhong Rui was even more surprised, "I didn't expect that you also have an environment that you are not good at."
"I've never traveled to the desert before." Su Han thought he had a strong ability to adapt. It was his first time in the desert, but he found an oasis on the eighth day. He must be an expert! He has great ability!
"Forget it, come home with me." Zhong Rui shook his head, said nothing more, picked up the leather bag and walked ahead to lead the way.
Su Han had a blank expression on her face. She thought to herself, if it weren't for the fact that they were teammates, she would have sold ice cream to grab the business! Besides, she was also very rich. Not to mention renting a house, she could even buy one!
Although he was complaining in his heart, he quickly followed.
Soon, Zhong Rui stopped in front of a wooden house, "This is it." Then he pushed the door and entered.
He casually threw the leather bag on the table and said, "There are three bedrooms in the house. I live in the one on the far right, so you can choose any of the other two. I've already paid half a month's rent anyway."
"Are you sure you will stay here until you pass the customs?" Su Han was quite curious.
Zhong Rui didn't care. "Just leave if you have any problem. The rent is not much anyway."
Su Han, "..."
How could she forget that this was the rich man who emptied out the drugstore?
After thinking for a while, Su Han asked again, "Why are you selling ice? You shouldn't be short of supplies."
"The spices, gold, and jewelry here are very cheap. I'll exchange more if I have the chance." After a pause, Zhong Rui showed a distressed look, "It's a pity that my portable warehouse is almost full, otherwise I could exchange more."
Su Han immediately reacted. What his friend meant was to use the most scarce resources in the desert to exchange for cheaper goods. When he reached other dungeons, spices, gold, and jewelry would become very valuable, and saltpeter, which could be used to make ice, would become a cheap commodity that could be wholesaled at will. Then he could sell spices, gold, and jewelry and purchase a large amount of saltpeter.
But……
Su Han showed a half-smile, "We have been unable to resupply for four consecutive dungeons. The idea that money is useless should have been deeply rooted in the minds of the players. I met some players on the road, and some of them started to trade their hoarded gold and jewelry in exchange for food and drinking water."
Zhong Rui didn't mind at all and said calmly, "Just because money is useless in four consecutive dungeons doesn't mean it will be useless in the next four dungeons. Who can predict what will happen next? The only thing players can do is to make various preparations."
Su Han thought, what a coincidence, she thought so too. Sure enough, this is the kind of teammate you should look for, someone who shares the same values and is a pleasure to get along with!
Thinking about Wan He whom she met on the road, Su Han found Zhong Rui more pleasing to the eye. She rolled up her sleeves and said excitedly, "I haven't had a normal meal for several days. I'll cook a meal first."
Zhong Rui urged without hesitation, "Do more."
Su Han paused and suddenly remembered that her teammate was a big guy who didn't have the cooking skill.
"Yes." Su Han responded casually, and was about to show her skills. But at this moment, she discovered that there was a serious shortage of raw materials...
She had always stockpiled ready-to-eat foods, the kind that you could eat right out of the bag. She had no cooking ingredients or anything like that.
Su Han thought with a wooden face, this is very embarrassing.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his little friend standing there motionless, Zhong Rui couldn't help but be curious.
Su Han explained, "I have to go out first and bring back some ingredients."
"No need." Zhong Rui stopped the man and started to search his personal storage. "Mutton and mutton bones can be used to make mutton soup. Mung bean soup can clear away heat and detoxify, and it is very good to drink as water. As for bacon, it is very suitable to make lean meat porridge. There is also braised beef brisket noodles, which must be delicious!"
Su Han, "..."
Did this guy wait for the chef for days? How come all the ingredients were ready and the dishes were ordered smoothly?
"Do it." Zhong Rui had an indifferent look on his face, but there was a little excitement in his eyes.
It just so happened that Su Han also wanted to eat some of the dishes ordered, so she didn't refuse and turned around to get busy.
Wash the rice first and soak it in water.
Then put the sheep bones and fresh mutton together to make soup. Soon, the rich aroma of meat spreads. After cooking, take it out, drain it, cut it into thin slices, add mutton soup, and a bowl of fragrant mutton soup is ready.
Su Han made seasoning with chili oil, pepper powder, salt and MSG, which can be dipped in water or not.
The mutton soup was ready and the rice was almost soaked. She washed the lean meat and chopped it into minced meat. Then she put the rice and an appropriate amount of water into the pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat, simmer over low heat, and when the rice blooms, add the minced meat and continue to simmer over low heat until the meat is tender and the porridge is thick.
Mung bean soup is the simplest. Boil water and mung beans together until the beans bloom, and the soup is ready. Before serving the soup, Su Han specially added rock sugar to the soup to ensure that the drink has a better flavor.
On the other side, Zhong Rui was not idle either.
After the saltpeter is used to make ice, it is placed in the middle of the dining table. Then beer, cola, Sprite, Fanta, mineral water are placed on the ice, and then the tableware is placed.
Three dishes were served.
He looked left and right, but couldn't find the beef brisket noodles. He couldn't help but wonder, "Where's the noodles?"
Su Han said casually, "Eat it later. I can't eat it now."
Zhong Rui looked solemn and said seriously, "No problem, I have a good appetite and can eat it."
"After drinking lean meat porridge, mutton soup, and mung bean soup, there is ice cream as dessert. Are you sure you can eat beef brisket noodles?" Su Han asked again to confirm, "There is no refrigerator in the room. The food must be eaten as soon as possible after it is prepared, otherwise it will go bad."
"There's ice cream as dessert after dinner?" Zhong Rui was slightly stunned, thinking, how could he not know this.
"Yes." Su Han sighed, "I stockpiled some before entering the deserted island, and now I can finally eat it."
Survival on a desert island, trapped in a war, and surviving in the desert, these are the past two or three copies! It's not easy to eat ice cream...
Zhong Rui couldn't help but raise his lips, but his tone sounded extremely helpless, "Then there's nothing we can do. We'll have beef brisket noodles another day."
