Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 181 Adapting to the Desert Heat

In the red desert under the scorching sun, Zebula and Alu's pace kept accelerating. Their figures shuttled between the sand dunes, but each step seemed unusually heavy.

The red sand under their feet was baked hot by the sun. When Zebula and Alu stepped on it, they felt a burning sensation on the soles of their feet, which made them frown.

As they moved forward, steam rose from the sand, forming a heat wave that enveloped them.

This extreme heat caused the moisture in Zebra and Alu's bodies to evaporate quickly, leaving them feeling dry and thirsty. With every step they took, they could feel the moisture in their bodies evaporating with their sweat, almost completely consuming it.

A Lu's eyes searched around in the red desert, and he keenly noticed an unusual movement coming from the nearby sand dunes. He saw a huge black shadow suddenly jump out from the sand dunes in front of him.

A giant eel emerged from the sand, its body streamlined and its scales shining brightly in the sunlight. The most eye-catching thing was the gorgeous pink flower on its head, which formed a sharp contrast with the red desert.

A Lu showed a look of surprise on his face. He widened his eyes and cheered excitedly: "Great, it's a desert flower fish!"

Hearing this, Zebra turned his head slightly and looked at Alu, who was full of excitement. Although his voice was hoarse, his tone was firm: "Alu, you must catch it!"

A Lu nodded, and the joy on his face instantly turned into concentration: "You don't have to tell me!"

A Lu stared at the huge desert fish with an unprecedented serious expression on his face. He took a deep breath, tensed all the muscles in his body, and concentrated all his strength on his fists.

When A Lu approached the desert flower fish, he swung his fist without hesitation. With a loud bang, the desert flower fish was hit by A Lu's punch. Its huge body rolled several times in the air and finally fell heavily on the sand, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Zebula quickly came to Alu's side, and the two sat side by side on the scorching sand, cutting the desert fish they had just caught into pieces. Although the cut fish meat was still bleeding, the two did not care, as this delicious piece of meat was their hope to survive in this desert.

The temperature in this desert maze is as high as 80 degrees Celsius, as if every inch of air is burning. The red sand reflects the sunlight, making the human body feel a temperature of more than 90 degrees Celsius. In such an environment, every drop of blood is particularly precious.

Alu and Zebula both knew that this blood not only represented food, but also the water they depended on for survival. Therefore, they cherished every drop of blood and drank it up, allowing this precious water to flow into their bodies.

Camels are the kings of the desert, and they can easily cope with the heat and dryness. Not only does the hump on their backs store fat, but there is also a large amount of water circulating in the blood, with a maximum total volume of more than 1000 liters, which is one of the reasons why they can go without water for a long time.

Camels can easily survive the heat and dryness thanks to the humps on their backs, which store a lot of fat and water. However, in most animals, if there is too much water in the blood, the red blood cells will rupture and cause anemia.

Although Alu is not a camel, his body has unique abilities. His gourmet cells have long evolved a special mechanism that can store a large amount of water and transport it to the blood throughout the body.

A'lu's gourmet cells have selected strong red blood cells that can withstand the pressure of a large amount of water without breaking. This ability makes him like a fish in water in the desert, and can better adapt to this extreme environment.

After replenishing the water they needed, Alu and Zebula stood up. They walked side by side and continued to move towards the depths of the red desert.

Alu followed closely behind Zebula, his lips slightly cracked, and his voice a little hoarse: "Are you okay, Zebula?"

Zebra continued to stride forward. He did not turn around, but just responded in confusion: "Ah? What do you mean?"

A Lu raised his eyebrows and asked in an intriguing way: "Have you adapted to this desert?"

Zebula stopped and turned to look at Alu, a smug smile on his face: "Adapt? Don't talk nonsense, I have already experienced similar heat in the "Lava Season" of the Gourmet Prison."

Hearing this, Alu couldn't help but get a little angry. He pointed at Zebra's back and said with a hint of blame: "You...you...did you run away from the prison in the summer? By the way, you didn't mean to escape from prison!"

Zebula turned around and faced Alu. He said in a relaxed tone, "It's just a walk!"

Zebula looked at Alu, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "And don't get it wrong, it's not me who caters to the desert. It's this desert... whether it can adapt to me."

A Lu raised his eyes to look at Zebula, and his tone became more natural: "Is that so!"

Alu's eyes fell on Zebra, and his worries disappeared. He couldn't help but sigh: Zebra has completely adapted to the extreme weather in the desert.

Zebula did not turn back to talk to Alu, but turned around silently. He relied on the echolocation in his mind and walked steadily on the hot red sand dunes.

Alu hurriedly followed Zebula's pace, but he was worried about Xiaosong's safety. He turned his head slightly and whispered to himself: "If it were Xiaosong, it might be hard to endure this heat!"

A Lu's face was full of worry, but then he smiled bitterly: "But... if Xiaosong is still safe now, maybe he will be lucky."

Zebra walked quickly in front, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "That "good luck"... maybe it's the real thing!"

A Lu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zebra's back, his eyes full of surprise: "What?"

Zebra continued to stare into the distance, the smugness on his face becoming more and more obvious. He spoke slowly, his voice revealing an admiration that was difficult to conceal: "That brat... It was as if he was heading there from the beginning. Could it be that he has a talent for getting close to the ingredients? In order not to lose the brat, he chased after him all the way, and ended up getting there."

A'lu was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes revealed shock that was hard to conceal. The real purpose of this desert trip might be closely related to Komatsu.

A strong sense of urgency surged in Alu's heart. He no longer hesitated and began to speed up his pace. The sand flew with his steps. He quickly crossed the sand dunes and caught up with Zebra who was looking into the distance in front of him.
