When he saw that the 32 cubic meters of System Space had become 64 cubic meters, Zhou Xun closed the System Space and went to sleep in satisfaction.
The next morning, everyone started packing after breakfast.
After equipping enough water, they continued to search for the Ancient City of Jingjue.
The yellow sand drifted in the air with the wind, and the sound of camels 'bells echoed in the desert.
"Old man, have you been to this black desert before?”
Old Hu asked as he rode his camel.
"This is the hell of the Black Desert. Very few people have been here. I've only been here once. Ah, it's just this one time!”
An Liman accidentally let it slip and immediately covered it up.
"If it weren't for your old cadre and the white camel that God dotes on, I wouldn't have come!”
After An Liman finished speaking, he carefully glanced at Old Hu. He was only relieved when he saw that Old Hu did not suspect anything.
"When I was a soldier in the army, I learned a way to get water in the desert. It is to dig down from the roots of this desert Haloxylon grass. Three to five meters down, you can dig wet sand and salt water. Then dig a sand pit more than one meter deep and cover it with a plastic sheet. The wet sand below will condense into water droplets when it touches the plastic sheet.”
As he spoke, he looked up at the sun above his head and continued,"After a simple process of evaporating from sunlight and filtering, it won't take long to get a small amount of fresh water. Although it's small, it can save people's lives. I believe you know this method too!”
"Yes!" An Liman did not expect Old Hu to know so much.
"But if we continue forward, there will be no more Haloxylon Grass. There will be nothing!”
An Liman's words made Old Hu and Zhou Xun, who were beside him, understand how dangerous it was in the depths of the desert!
The Black Desert was deserted. Even the plants in the desert could not survive here. It was like a forbidden zone of death!
Everyone continued to move forward against the wind.
The further they went, the more they realized that there was yellow sand everywhere. The plants that they could see before were becoming fewer and fewer.
The people who had consumed a large amount of water in the past few days were also becoming more and more depressed and silent!
After walking for half a day.
The wind was getting stronger.
Zhou Xun could only stop by a sand dune and let everyone rest.
He arranged for the young people to start building a barrier with yellow sand.
"The wind has been blowing for a day. When will it stop?”
Fatty shouted as he dug sand to build a barrier.
"It's the windy season, it's like this."
An Liman said while packing the firewood,"The scary part of the Black Desert is not the quicksand that traps people, nor the ants that gnaw everything, nor the black sandstorm.”
"According to the legends, there is a dreamland in the depths of this desert. When people enter, they will see lakes, rivers, beautiful women, and divine beasts. However, until they die of thirst and exhaustion, they won't be able to reach it because there are traps set up by demons to lure people to die there.”
"He's talking about the mirage in the desert. It's indeed easy for people with dehydration to be confused!”Xue Li Yang explained.
Zhou Xun had brought so much water and wine in the system space, but he had not taken them out along the way. He had prepared them for this moment!
However, they were not prepared to take it out now because it was not the most dangerous time yet. Everyone still had some water.
At this moment, Ye Yixin ran to Xue Li Yang's side and gently tugged at her.
"Let's go behind the sand dunes to do something!”Xue Li Yang said.
"Wait, take this!"
Zhou Xun handed over a whistle used by the team leader.
Shirley Yang took the whistle and walked towards the sand dune in the distance.
After handing over the whistle, Zhou Xun saw Fatty running to An Liman to ask for goat milk wine.
He was instantly speechless. There was almost no water left, and he still expected others to share the goat's milk wine with him…
"Fatty!"
After calling out to Fatty, Zhou Xun threw the wine jug over.
Fatty took the wine jug and drank a mouthful of wine. He immediately felt refreshed and laughed.
"Stop laughing, don't split it up!" Zhou Xun asked.
Fatty took another sip and then took the wine pot and gave a little to everyone.
"Help!"
"Men!"
The few of them had just finished drinking and were savoring the aftertaste.
Suddenly, Xue Li Yang and Ye Yixin's shouts could be heard from afar!
"Hurry up and leave!"
Zhou Xun and his men hurriedly ran over.
"Someone come quickly!"
"Help!"
On the other side, Xue Li Yang, who was holding onto the yellow sand trap tightly, shouted non-stop.
And Ye Yixin had already sunk half of his body into it.
Zhou Xun brought his men over to take a look, and it was obvious that they had fallen into quicksand.
Although Zhou Xun knew that this was not quicksand, he still hurried over to help Xue Li Yang pull Ye Yixin up.
"Alright, don't be afraid. This isn't quicksand!”
Zhou Xun said as he looked at the two people's faces that looked like they had escaped death.
"If this was quicksand, you two would have been swallowed by it by now. There should be something under this yellow sand!”
Zhou Xun explained.
"Indeed, if it was quicksand, Miss Yang alone wouldn't have been able to hold Xiao Ye for so long. Xiao Ye has been stopping there and hasn't continued to sink!”Old Hu thought for a moment and said.
"That's right. If it was really quicksand, you guys wouldn't be able to stay by the side!”An Liman said.
Xue Li Yang thought about it carefully and nodded,"Yes, from what you guys said, it seems like that's true. Just now, when Little Ye was halfway in, she stopped moving!”
Little Ye thought about it and nodded while sobbing, indicating that it was so.
