Chapter 10 – The Disappearing Azar – Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

We slept camels all tied together at night, and as a result, when we got up this morning only the reins were left on the ground.

Bean Sprout Boy was in much better spirits after a night’s rest, and he cursed angrily, “It must be that kid! I’ve seen him sneaking around since the beginning, and after all was said and done, what kind of person can live their life in a hole in the sand, it must be him!”

At this time, Qin Xingping ran over in a panic, his face ugly.

“Took an inventory, less than a tenth of the original total of food and water left, we’re in big trouble!”

Hearing these words, everyone’s face changed drastically.

Now we are close to the depths of the desert, water and food is definitely the most important, no camel, people can walk on foot, if there is no water and food ….. The consequences can be imagined.

Bean Sprout Boy said, “That kid ran away in the latter part of the night, it’s only two or three hours from now, why don’t we send someone after him!”

“No way,” Old Zhang immediately stopped Bean Sprout Boy’s suggestion, he preached: “Alashan is all yellow sand as far as the eye can see, there is no reference, people can survive for up to three days without water, things have already happened, our top priority is to consolidate the team and reasonably distribute the remaining water and food. “

“Besides, no one knows which way the young man went, and if it were windy, the camels would walk by and leave footprints that would be completely covered up in fifteen minutes.”

“Yeah, I agree with what Old Zhang said,” said the head of the handle to me, “Yunfeng, take Xiao Xuan and group the leftover water and food together and see how many days it will be enough.”

Immediately, Miss Zhao and I began to move, I looked for water and she looked for food.

Within half an hour, all the remaining bottled water and anything edible was piled on the floor.

After counting, we now had 9 bottles of pure water, half a bag of naan and a small amount of beef jerky, other than that everything else was taken by Azza.

“The situation is not good ah ….” Old Zhang frowned and said: “Food not to mention, the five of us but only nine bottles of water, according to the normal amount of hair are not enough for a day, the original is prepared for more than ten days of the amount.”

“Each of the five people take a bottle, all save it and drink it, and put the remaining four bottles here with me for safekeeping, for emergency use.” Old Zhang said as he began to hand out water.

“We have to hurry up, the Leeward Slope to the Crescent Oasis is the longest distance, it will take about three and a half days to get there if we walk normally, pack up, take the camel, and leave now.”

The group packed up as quickly as possible under Lao Zhang’s urging.

Lao Zhang was at the front of the line to identify the direction, and this time we all mounted camels, which we did to save energy.

There was quite a delay in the morning, and it felt like the camel hadn’t traveled long before noon.

Alxa midday sun is very big, the deeper you go the more so, all the people use a sarong as a hat to cover the head, not let the sun direct sun can try to save the body moisture.

Bean sprout boy hot dry mouth, he could not top, unscrewed the bottle of water a tilt of the neck, gulp and drink half a large bottle.

Xiao Xuan rode the camel closest to the bean sprouts, she kicked the bean sprouts, angry: “Why are you so perseverance, a bottle of water can not small mouth to save a little drink, did not listen to Uncle Zhang said, we still need two days to arrive!”

Bean Sprout Boy snapped his mouth and said contentedly, “What do you care about me, why are you thirsting for yourself if you don’t have water to drink.”

“You!”

Xiao Xuan gasped: “As you wish, Ignore you!”

At this time, the head wiped the sweat and looked at Old Zhang and asked, “The sun is too big, should we find a place to take a rest before we go, I’m afraid that the big guys are dehydrated.”

“I’m afraid it won’t work,” Old Zhang said worriedly, “There’s no shade here, it’s hot to sit around, so take a walk forward.”
