The elves do not agree with Zhang Zi'an's idea of ​​taking everything alone, because the bird is too far away and there is little chance of catching up. Instead of wasting fuel and doing useless work, it is better to wait patiently for the next bird to appear.

But he still decided to chase him because he didn't know whether the next bird would appear.

Lao Cha carefully proposed another possibility, "Zi'an, how do you know that the bird is returning to the nest? If it leaves the nest for food, wouldn't it go in the opposite direction?"

Other elves were also awakened. They wanted to track the bird to find the oasis, but if the bird was flying away from the oasis to go to other places for food, the more they chased, the further they were, the further they were from the oasis.

Zhang Zian didn't just rush his bets all over his bets when he was so angry. He had a reason to do so.

He motioned for them to look outside.

It is now afternoon, and the sun is obviously slanting to the west, and the light is much weaker than noon. According to experience, there are only about two to three hours left before the sun sets.

He explained with Richard as an example: "Most birds have night blindness, that is, whether the bird leaves or returns to the nest, it will eventually return to the nest within three hours. Otherwise, it will only land in the desert at night when things are invisible, which is very dangerous for it."

He was quite sure that the bird was returning to his nest.

The elves suddenly realized that due to their good night vision ability, they often ignore the night blindness characteristics of birds.

Except for long-distance migratory birds, most birds will definitely return to their nests at night. Now it is midsummer, and I have never heard of any migratory birds migrating in midsummer.

As long as they didn't lose the bird within two or three hours, they would likely follow the clues to find its place of habitat, and hope that it would be an oasis. Even if there were no oasis, at least a few full cactus trees would have to be cut into a small hole to flow out the cool juice.

The elves and Zhang Zi'an were staring at the bird with all concentration. The drone tracked its flight path in the air, followed it off its original route and turned east.

As time passes, the sun gradually sets in the west, but it keeps soaring, with no sign of landing, which also shakes Zhang Zian's judgment of himself.

This style is wrong. That guy...is it also a drone?

Or a mirage?

There were several times in the middle that they had already let it go from sight because they wanted to surround the dune. If the drone had not had the farther view, they might have really lost it.

And as the light dimmed, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the naked eye to capture that black spot.

Just as the sun was approaching the horizon and Zhang Zi'an began to doubt his life, the black spot suddenly began to fall and the angle of the drop was relatively smooth, and the light was not good, so he didn't notice it at the beginning.

"Look over there! There is reflection!"

Vladimir jumped to the roof of the car, his vision farther than him, and his eyes were shaken by a shiny reflection on the horizon.

The reflections in the distant desert are generally either rocks, Gobi, or... lakes.

Zhang Zian and the elves were all excited.

If there is really a lake, even if it is just a small spring, it can completely solve the problem of drinking water.

This area is blank on the map and does not show the existence of an oasis. Nabari did not mention it. Perhaps it was an oasis formed by the newly gushing springs on the ground.

The drone's battery was almost out of power, but in the last glance before landing, a large number of dark shadows suspected to be woods and sparkling flashes in the sunset appeared in the image.

Zhang Zi'an stopped the car, took the drone back into the car, and then discussed with the elves: "Since we have found the oasis, we might as well camp here and wait until dawn tomorrow before passing."

He was now confident, but he was not anxious. He was more worried about whether there would be any danger near the oasis, because if the desert oasis had not become a gathering place for humans, it would become a gathering place for animals, such as the bird that was suspected to be a raptor just now, and maybe there would be snakes and other dangerous animals.

It would be no problem to hold the remaining water in the car for two or three days. There is no need to arrive at the oasis tonight.

The elves were all skilled and brave, so they didn't agree with this, but decided to rest for a night here.

The so-called camping is like camping, even the tent and inflatable moisture-proof mat are gone, and there is nothing to tie. I casually moved my body, which was stiff due to sitting for a long time, watched the pre-save movies on my phone for a while, and then slept in the driver's seat with my clothes in my clothes.

At least tonight, the water is free to drink, but no container of water can be thrown away.

I slept early and woke up early the next day.

As soon as the sky was dawn, he and the elves woke up.

After running out of power from the drone, he simply stood on the roof of the car, raised his telescope and looked up at the sun.

In fact, last night, he woke up from a nightmare. He dreamed that this oasis was actually a mirage, without even a drop of water. The despair from the heart made him wake up in cold sweat.

He was worried that the nightmare would come true.

Fortunately, the clearly visible scene shows that it is just a dream.

An oasis with not a large area, but full of vitality appears in the field of view of the telescope.

The tall palm trees, low bushes, the occasionally startled birds, and the blue lake are all the most longing for people in the desert to see, as beautiful as a dream.

But this is by no means a dream, and no mirage can last all night.

"Gaga! I don't know if there are any fresh fruits in this oasis. I haven't eaten fresh vegetables and fruits for several days, and even my gums are swollen and painful!" Richard shouted pretending.

"First of all, you have to have teeth to have gums, and you'd better be careful not to be eaten by raptors as fresh birds."

Zhang Zian was in a good mood today and made some jokes with him.

When Richard was really scared when he thought of the raptors like vultures and falcons, he hurriedly hid back into the car and said, "Gaga! Of course, I can't be arrogant and picking fruits by myself, otherwise what's the use of asking you, an idiot?"

After a brief tidy up, he drove towards the oasis after breakfast.

Considering that there may be mosquitoes in the oasis, he also prepared the anti-mosquito water, although it felt that it was not as useful as cool oil.

Before they walked for too long, they came to the edge of the oasis, and even the air here was wetter than elsewhere.

Before the car could stop completely, he and the elves couldn't wait to jump out of the car, ran to the lake, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, on his head, and on his body.

I haven't enjoyed such pleasure for a long time.

He knew that this behavior was rash, but he really didn't care about it. Only those who had experienced thirst in the desert could feel his mood at this moment.

Well... there should be no crocodile in this kind of small lake, right?

He suddenly felt itchy all over and wanted to take a shower.
