C446 (1/2)
The cold at night is faster than Lin Nan imagined.
He couldn't be sure what time it was, but Deng Qi in front of him began to shiver and warm himself with his arms.
I'm afraid it's close to zero. Northern China will have to wear a big cotton padded jacket.
But Lin Nan and Deng Qi only have a thin prison uniform. They just find one more flint in their backpack.
Fortunately, they were lucky. After walking for a while, they found a few clusters of dry shrubs, which should have been rolled over by the sandstorm. Otherwise, there might be water in the ground.
After lighting it, it got warmer. Deng Qi leaned greedily on it to keep warm. A fire lit up in the desert at night, which made him not so lonely.
Lin Nan raised his head and looked at the sparse night sky. The stars were like the Milky way, which made him feel more peaceful.
”If I go to the military, I won't be free even if I earn 200 war credits. I'll just cross this desert and go somewhere else.” Deng Qi's face is not willing to give up of sipped a small mouthful of mineral water, sighed and said.
Lin Nan was stunned. He once again heard about the merits of the war. It seems that the judge's trial has the same effect. The prisoners sent to the desert all have the standard of ”merits of the war”!
The difference is that ordinary people's Deng Qi only asked for 200 war achievements, but he was 10000!
This number is absolutely many, Lin Nan is deeply aware of.
However, on the contrary, ten thousand war achievements are only 50 times more difficult than ordinary people's Deng Qi. It seems to be quite easy?
In this way, we can't escape. The Chinese military is very strict with deserters. It's better to earn 10000 war credits safely.
”Let's go to the military.” Lin Nan said in a deep voice.
”Why?” Deng Qi looks at him curiously.
There was not much doubt in his tone. In fact, Deng Qi didn't know which way to go. He just needed someone to make a choice for him and tell him the reason.
”It's easy.”
Lin Nan said: ”after entering the Sahara, the helicopter flew straight for nearly 20 minutes. Judging from the speed of the helicopter at that time, we are probably in the middle of this desert.”
”Do you know how big the Sahara is? Covering an area of 9.06 million square kilometers, no matter which direction we go, it is equivalent to walking across half of the American continent. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Nan is still a little selfish. After all, he aimlessly seeks for the Chinese military. One person is too slow, and many Deng Qi can be regarded as helpers, so he tells a lie: ”that's half the American continent! We don't have food and water, this journey is just like a dream! I can't do it, and neither can you
”Therefore, finding the Chinese military's base as soon as possible is the only chance to survive!”
”Besides, if you think about it, we have experienced a plane crash. We have a chance to escape, but we are still ordered to go to the military. Maybe the veterans there will look at us with new eyes. This is also an opportunity to show their loyalty.”
Under Lin Nan's persuasion, Deng Qi was silent.
He has to admit that what Lin Nan said is very reasonable. Some people in the world can do it by walking through half of the Sahara desert, but not including him. Deng Qi has been a soldier for three years at most, and others are no different from normal people.
”OK, I agree with you. Go to the Chinese military!” Deng Qi raised his head with bright eyes.
”But the desert is so big, where do we start looking? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
Lin Nan laughed: ”I know the specific direction.”
Deng Qi looked at him in surprise.
”The helicopter is flying due west, and it's going to take us to the military camp, which means that as long as we go to the west, the general direction is right.”
”Now, the most important thing is to have a full stomach.” Lin Nan took a light look at the sand next to him, took out the steel knife attached to his backpack and poked it out like lightning.
