Chapter 2383 Dilemma (two chapters in one)(1/2)
"call……"
The sound of strong wind and thunder in the desert disappeared completely, but the sand and dust affected by the strong wind were still filling the air at this moment, and the sky and earth were still gray, making it impossible to see the situation more than ten meters away.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was collecting wood around him. He didn't dare to run too far, because once he went far, he would not be able to return to the original place.
"Boom..."
There was a terrible thunder, and a thunder flashed in the sky.
Even if there is wind and sand blocking it, you can clearly see the silvery white lightning flashing in the distance.
Thunders appeared one after another, and the heaven and earth shook.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead glanced at the place where the thunder and lightning struck, then bent down and picked up a piece of dry wood on the ground.
He has collected a lot of wood, enough for two or three days.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..."
Rain fell from the sky and fell on the hair of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"Um?"
"Is it raining?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his head, and rain fell on his face. Now he was sure that it was raining.
The clear rainwater became turbid due to the influence of sand and dust.
It landed on the face of the pig-headed captain who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, instantly smearing his face.
"I have to go back quickly, otherwise I will get all muddy."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered to himself, then he quickly picked up the packed wood and ran quickly to the hiding place.
The thunder that rang in the sky continued to explode, and silver-white lightning flashed one after another.
The louder the thunder, the heavier the rain, and the trickling rain turned into a pouring downpour.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, hid in the excavated cave before the rain got heavy.
He placed the wood in his hand on the ground and looked out at the entrance of the cave.
The originally gray sky suddenly became much clearer due to the heavy rain.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, saw his vision gradually recover, and his face showed joy.
But the rain got heavier and heavier, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
"Damn it, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, won't it cause floods?"
Heavy rain in this dry place is not necessarily a good thing.
Because the ground is too dry, the water storage capacity in many places is very poor.
Once the ground is saturated with water, a lot of water will accumulate on the surface, causing floods, which is a very common natural disaster.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Listening to the astonishing sound of rain outside, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt a little heavy.
He looked down at the ground and comforted himself.
"Fortunately, the cave I dug is located at a high place and there are many plants around it. If there is a flood, it will not have much impact on me."
As if to verify the statement of the pig-headed captain who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, after a while, a pond formed in front of him due to the accumulation of a large amount of rainwater.
Due to the terrain, the water in the pond began to flow out and gathered with the accumulated water in other places, forming a terrible flood.
The turbid floodwater rushed towards the low-lying areas, destroying a large number of plants and being carried away from the original area.
"This... I'm really afraid of what will happen."
"Fortunately the floodwaters went in other directions."
"Next, I have to be more vigilant. If there are any signs that the floods will affect me, I have to leave here first, even if it keeps raining outside..."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood at the entrance of the cave, observing the situation outside. Seeing that the rain had calmed down, his nervousness eased a little, and then he went to sit down inside the cave and took some wood to light a bonfire.
.
After it rains, the temperature drops suddenly.
Fortunately, we collected wood in advance and lit the bonfire, otherwise the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead would be frozen at this time.
"call……"
The wind that had subsided began to blow again, and a large amount of rain was blown everywhere by the wind. Some of it even splashed into the cave where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was hiding.
Fortunately, only the entrance of the cave was soaked by the rain, and it had no effect on the pig-headed captain who was hiding inside the cave and had a brown birthmark on his forehead.
…………
It also rained heavily in many places in the endless desert.
Although the desert environment is very harsh and there are no signs of life at all, there are actually many creatures that survive tenaciously in such a terrible environment.
An oasis is located in the center of the desert. Many plants grow vigorously. There is a large lake in the oasis.
This time there is this lake, so this oasis can exist.
At this moment, a small hill in the oasis was artificially transformed, and a cave large enough for three or five people to rest was located on the leeward side.
The tall investigator was lighting a fire, while his companion stood at the entrance of the cave and looked out.
Heavy rain fell from the sky, and the lake in the distance opened its arms to welcome the rain, and the water level rose rapidly.
Many plants were shaken violently by the strong wind, and some were unable to withstand it and were directly broken.
But no matter how fierce the wind and rain are now, for the plants in these oasis, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.
The fact that the lakes in the oasis are replenished by rainwater is the greatest benefit to extending the life of the oasis.
"The fire has been lit. Come over and dry your clothes. It will be terrible if you catch a cold..." the tall investigator called to his companion standing at the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, he had taken off his soaked clothes, tied them with branches and placed them by the fire to dry.
"Hmm." The short investigator responded, came to his companion, took off his clothes, then tied up the wet clothes with branches and placed them by the fire to dry.
"The weather is changing really fast. It would have been terrible if we hadn't found this hillock and dug out this cave." The tall investigator recalled the previous scene with lingering fear.
"Yes! Even if we have spiritual weapons that can withstand wind and rain, the duration is limited.
If you stay in the wind and rain all the time, your body will definitely be unable to bear it," said the short investigator.
Half an hour ago, the two men followed the established route and headed deep into the desert.
As a result, we found that the weather had changed on the way, large dark clouds began to cover the sky, and thunder and lightning flashed in the clouds from time to time.
Seeing this scene, both of them knew that it would rain heavily soon, so they quickly looked for a place to hide from the rain.
Fortunately, they found an oasis. The two of them quickly ran into the oasis, found a small hill, and started digging quickly using tools.
When the heavy rain fell, the clothes of the two men were soaked, and the cave they dug on the leeward side of the hill was finished.
"call……"
The whistling wind continued, which made people feel depressed.
After drying the soaked clothes, the two investigators put them on.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the heaven and earth in the distance, the rain curtain has become the main scenery of this world.
"How long do you think this heavy rain will continue to rain?"
"How do I know this?"
"Just take a guess."
"Wanting the next half day?"
"It will be dark in the second half of the day."
"Then we can't continue our journey until the next day."
The two investigators were chatting. They had been in the desert for several days and had not seen the end of the desert.
At this time, the two of them couldn't help but regret entering the desert.
"I don't know how many days it will take to walk to the end of the desert. If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have walked around the desert."
"Yes! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have entered this desert."
“Hopefully I can cross this desert in the next few days!”
"According to the original plan, we could reach our destination in half a month at most. Now due to the desert, this time will be extended by six or seven days."
The two investigators stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while, then sat down in front of the campfire to warm themselves up.
Although encountering heavy rain in the desert is a very bad thing, such weather is very good for taking a rest.
The two of them took turns lying down to rest and recover their exhausted physical strength and energy.
Outside the cave, there is a lake in the distance. With the replenishment of rainwater falling from the sky, the water level of this lake has increased a lot, and the area of the lake has doubled.
To be continued...
