Chapter 311

Because of the fast heat storage and heat dissipation of sand and stone, the temperature difference between day and night in desert is very large, and the temperature difference between noon and early morning can reach more than 30 degrees.

Not long ago, Mingming was still exposed to the sun. At night, he began to feel cold again.

In order to avoid snakes and insects in the desert as much as possible, Zhang Heng chose a relatively high terrain to make a fire. In addition, the fire light can also prevent some predators near the top of the food chain from approaching.

But the danger does not always come from the outside.

Zhang Heng, Jia Lai and Bruno are all sitting in front of the campfire now. Originally, night should be the best time to make up for the loss of physical strength during the day, but at this time, none of them dare to close their eyes.

Because it's also the best chance to do it.

It's hard to make too many moves when NASA people stare at them several kilometers away during the day. At night, they don't say whether NASA people also need to sleep, and the visibility of the chief mate is reduced. Even if the observer is still dedicated, it's difficult to grasp all the conditions in the distance.

The fire beat in the night, the wood crackled in the light, and there was no other movement around. It was only a long time later that a voice began to whisper.

"Don't walk meekly into that good night,

old age should burn and roar at dusk;

rebuke, rebuke the disappearance of light.

Although wise people know the truth of darkness when they die,

because their words don't burst out of lightning,

they don't meekly walk into that good night.... "

"Dylan Thomas, this is a poem he wrote to his dying father." Zhang Hengdao.

"I always thought this poem came from the movie called star trek." Bruno yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes. During the day, he consumed a lot of physical strength, especially after dinner. But he did not dare to close his eyes.

"I like that movie very much, and I like this poem very much. It's very close to our present situation, isn't it," said Jalai. "We have to face the risk of being eliminated when we participate in every round of the game. We don't have to say more about the result of losing the game. We all know that, so we can't give up until the last moment, regardless of the good times or the bad times. After all, we all have to face the risk of being eliminated I don't want to be forgotten by the whole world. "

"Well, to be honest, I don't care who remembers me," Bruno shrugged. "I just think that I won't be able to have a party in my Australian mansion in the future, I won't be able to drive my Porsche 911 to date beautiful girls in college, and my part of my property will be inherited by my brother. Of course, I don't want to lose After all, I may not have such good luck in my next incarnation. "

"So what are you, supporting you through round after round of the game?" Jia Lai will look to the side of Zhang Heng, "since we are not going to rest, it is better to chat together, after all, we will not have too much time."

"I don't know. For the moment, I just want to figure out what's behind this." Zhang Heng adjusted the bonfire in front of him with a tree fork, light way.

"Yes, we all want to know who organized the game, what the purpose is, when it will stop and how to win the final victory, but sometimes we don't always get the answer to the question, do we?" Jalai's eyes flickered in the night, and no one knew what he was thinking.

For a moment, Zhang Heng even thought that the other side was going to be ready to move.

But the next moment came Bruno's nervous voice, "Hey, what's that?"

He just got up and wanted to go to the nearby bush for convenience. However, as soon as he took off his trousers, he saw something flash by in the dark in the distance.

It's not surprising that Bruno is so scared. It's a time of life and death. After feeling the movement, he doesn't care to empty the inventory in his stomach. He runs back with his pants.

Zhang Heng and Jia Lai stood up for the first time and looked at each other. They were surprised in each other's eyes. In other words, the sudden situation had nothing to do with the three of them.

Zhang Heng picked up a lighted wooden stick from the campfire on the ground and ran towards Bruno. Sure enough, he saw some sneaky shadows on the sand dune not far away.

"What is that?" The fat man squinted.

"It looks like a coyote." Zhang Heng observed carefully for a while and said that in the novice copy, he learned a lot of methods to identify animals from bell. At this time, it just came in handy. Information about mountain coyotes flashed through Zhang Heng's mind.

Mountain coyotes are one of the subspecies of coyotes, and they are also the protozoan species of the North American continent. They are widely distributed in the United States, from Washington state, the Cascade Mountains in the eastern Oregon, southward across the Great Basin, the highlands of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and all the way to northern Mexico.

However, most of the time, these coyotes live in forests, swamps and grasslands, where food and water are abundant. It's rare for them to run into the desert like this. Moreover, they seem to be extremely hungry, and they haven't harvested for several days in succession. Otherwise, they won't focus on the three people who are still by the fire.Zhang Heng doesn't know if the NASA observers have noticed their situation, but even if they come, it will take some time, and the mountain coyotes have already charged here.

This kind of creature is not afraid of human beings. Coyotes often appear in the suburbs of the United States, but they are more used to hunting alone.

Even Zhang Heng doesn't want to deal with four or five coyotes alone. Of course, he can turn around and run away. Although he can't run the two coyotes at his speed, it's no problem to run past Jalai and Bruno. However, Zhang Heng seems to think of something later. Instead of leaving the campfire, he kicks two burning sticks with small arms to Jalai and Bruno.

The fat man hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the wood on the ground. Bruno turned around and wanted to run, but because he was too worried, he tripped and ate a mouthful of sand. When he raised his head again, a coyote had rushed at him.

Bruno's heart was broken, but he knew that no one could count on him at this time. It was good for Zhang Heng and Jia Lai not to be black handed. Fortunately, Bruno was also an old player who had experienced several rounds of games. Although there were no props on him now, his skill was still there. At the critical moment, he put his elbow against the Coyote's neck, making it impossible for the latter to bite his mouth He turned over and put the coyote under his back.

The fat man on the other side was more calm in the face of the attack. He stood in the same place and looked on coldly, until the coyote rushed over, pushed his hind legs on the ground and lifted himself into the air. Jalai took the hand and grabbed the Coyote's neck with lightning speed.
