In the gap between two sand beams, after a lot of work, Felix finally dug out two oil drums and two kettles tied together with paracord from the depths of the yellow sand, plus A few cans.
"What day is this?" Morris asked, taking the half-small glass of water handed by the former.
"It's the fifth day, the dusk of the fifth day."
Felix shook the light oil drum and poured the last sip of water into his cup , "We only have the last bucket of water and six cans left."
"That is to say, we still have five or six days" Morris asked with a frown.
"After a week at most, our water and food will be exhausted. After that, we can persist for up to two to three days before we die of thirst." Felix finished, Pour the only sip of water into your mouth and lick up the last drop of water that doesn't want to fall.
"It will take us seven days to cover 200 kilometers," Morris told the even more cruel truth.
"Maybe we can find water along the way. Before that, we can only save some water."
Felix was more optimistic and tied the empty oil drum to After getting on the chair, he stacked the last oil drum filled with water on top and carefully wrapped it with parachute cloth.
Finally, he wrapped the few remaining cans in blankets and placed them on top. Then he helped Morris sit up, then picked up the parachute rope and walked along the ravine between the two sand beams. Detour west.
On the sand beam behind the two of them, Wei Ran drank a glass of beer and ate half a Snickers bar without haste. This combination was definitely not delicious, but it was better than Felic. The two of them are much stronger, and his reserves are enough to last longer without any problem.
In the past five days, he drank almost half of the beer stored in the oil barrel and nearly a quarter of the water. Instead, he drank various energy bars and compressed water in the food box. There is enough biscuits and chocolates for him to eat for half a month.
But just like Felix and others, at this time he had to start thinking about saving consumption for a rainy day.
Waiting patiently for the distance between the two parties to be less than one kilometer, Wei Ran slowly wrapped up the silk scarf made of parachute cloth, put on his flight hat and goggles, He followed slowly with a shotgun on his back.
After the strong wind, the terrain of the desert has changed dramatically compared to before, and it has also become more and more difficult to walk. From time to time, you have to climb over high sand ridges, otherwise you can only go around two times. Double or even triple the distance.
Although this is equivalent to more physical exertion for Felix, as long as Morris is pulled up to the sand beam, the two of them can at least ride the upside-down chair and slide all the way down. So in general, the speed didn't change much, it was just a few more falls on the soft sand.
Of course, for Weiran, this way of traveling isBut it caused a lot of trouble. In the past few days, he had been using the time on his watch and the number of steps taken along the way to calculate the changes in Felix's footsteps, and then calculate his physical condition. But now, he could only focus on his journey.
For the next three days, the three people in two groups repeated the boring schedule of resting during the day and driving at night.
Fortunately, since the ground became flat again two days ago, he could finally recalculate Felix's distance.
Compared to when Leon was alive, Felix's speed has dropped by nearly half.
According to Wei Ran's own physical estimation, he can only drag Morris a distance of less than ten kilometers every day at most.
Although the speed has slowed down a lot, over the past few days, Morris seems to have completely trusted Felix, and now the direction he is heading every day is completely fixed at 29 degrees north by west.
"Felix, let's lighten the load some more."
On the eighth day after the emergency landing, the sandstorm
At dusk on the third day after the end, Morris said while Felix was opening the can.
"We have nothing to throw away." As Felix spoke, he had already opened the fourth can from the bottom.
"Blanket, submachine gun, submachine gun magazine, even my shoes, and other things on my body that are of no use at all." Morris said, even pulling out the gun that originally belonged to Fei Leakes' 38 pistol, along with the things he just mentioned, were thrown aside from the chair.
Looking at Morris who was struggling to take off his boots, Felix kicked away the pistol and submachine gun that the former had just thrown aside without leaving a trace, picked up the open can again and poured it into the cup. He handed some to Morris, and then asked while helping him take off his boots, "Morris, according to your estimate, how far are we from the airport?"
"At least 150 kilometers to 180 kilometers The straight-line distance"
Morris glanced at the compass on his wrist and continued almost desperately while holding the cup with food, "At our current speed, it will take at least 10 days or even half a month. It takes more time to get back."
"I really need to lighten my load."
Felix sighed, threw aside the boots he had just taken off, and then bent over. The waist picked up the pistol and submachine gun that Morris had discarded, "But we have nothing to throw away."
"The iron bucket with no water left." Morris didn't finish his words, but Already stiff, "Felix, you"
"The airport is at 29 degrees west of north, with a straight-line distance of 150 to 180 kilometers, right?"
Felix spoke At the same time, he reached into his pocket and took out a shiny silver pocket watch, opened it, hooked his fingers on the chain on the pocket watch and shook it gently.
Morris glanced at the pocket watch reflecting the dusk light. It was full of wind and sand.His face was full of despair. It was not a pocket watch, but a pocket watch-style compass
r "So everything you told before was a lie" Morris asked desperately.
"What a lie?" Felix let go of the pocket watch compass in his hand and let it fall on the yellow sand at his feet.
"Your family, and your mission." Morris asked almost muttering to himself, "It's all false"
"Of course it's all true"< /p>
Felix took two steps back, sat on the warm sand and explained slowly, "But my parents have passed away long ago, and my wife was also given away by me because of her bloodline. Concentration camp, it is precisely because of my loyalty that I had the opportunity to be sent here."
Morris was silent for a moment, took a sip of the canned soup from the cup he had been holding, and squeezed some juice from it. He picked up a piece of soft pork and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it.
After eating all the food in the cup, Morris asked, "Can you get me another glass of water?"
"Of course"
Felix put down the weapon in his hand, stood up and generously poured Morris a full glass of water.
Taking the water glass, Morris took a sip of water, then put it aside, took off the standard-issued compass from his wrist, and threw it away together with the watch that Felix had given him. passed.
While Felix was putting the compass and watch on his wrist, Morris spoke again, "Where are the two camps, how about you take me out of this desert?"
"That's unnecessary."
Felix blew the sand on the dial vigorously and said in a calm tone, "The 450 kilograms of gold on the plane have already made me happy." Satisfied, as long as I leave the desert alive and hide until the war is over, the gold will be enough for me to start a new life."
"This is your loyalty," Morris mocked.
"Mr. Morris, this is called cleverness."
While Felix was speaking, he had already taken out a photo and a book from his pocket
Then he took out a lighter and slowly burned the upper right corner of the photo with a flame. After burning the upper bodies of several people, he used sand to cover the flames on the photo.
"In the future, I will start a new life as the Belgian prospector Lausberger." Felix shook the certificate in his hand, "As for you, Maurice, just take that with you. Just keep the secrets of the two camps here forever."
Before he finished speaking, Felix had already picked up the 38 pistol and slowly checked the bullets inside and asked, "Here. You have two choices, either I'll give you a shot, or I'll leave you here to die of thirst."
"Help me, I've actually expected this day for a long time."< /p>
Morris drank the remaining water in the cup with a sad smile on his face, "I thought you would run out of food and water."Then he abandoned me in the desert. "
"Sorry, I have to survive. ”
As he spoke, Felix came close to Morris and pressed the sand-stained muzzle against the latter’s chin, “Is there anything else you want to say?”
"You will also die in this desert." Morris was unusually calm at this time, and there was no longer fear in his eyes, only full of ridicule.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Before Felix finished speaking, he had already pulled the trigger.
After the crisp gunshot of "Bang", Morris fell onto the warm yellow On the sand.
At the same time, this shot also alerted Wei Ran, who was putting on a one-piece flight suit behind another sand dune a hundred meters away.
"Bad. "
With a sinking heart, Wei Ran kicked off the flight suit he had just put on his feet, climbed up the sand dune as fast as possible with bare feet and raised the telescope.
In Under his gaze, Felix put the pistol in Morris' hand, then sat next to him, slowly finishing the remaining can and throwing it away. can, Felix untied the parachute cloth on the chair, tore off a piece of it and carefully wrapped Morris's body. He even put his own soldier tag and pistol on Morris' chest and wrapped them together. Get up
After finishing all this, he picked up the rope tied to the chair, his pocket watch compass and the submachine gun, and used the paracord to carry a small half bucket of water and the few remaining items on his back. The can is moving towards the direction of 29 degrees north by west. Please remember: Free and fastest update. No anti-theft. No anti-theft.
