"Linghui, Linghui..." Huo Qiyin was devastated, watching his student collapse, he truly regretted not listening to Su Xuan at the ti. Su Xuan had told him before, unless one is trained, girls should not enter such places. It’s not about looking down on won, but the risk factor is too high.
"Save her quickly, think of a way, she’s still such a young life!"
Tears stread down Huo Qiyin’s face as he looked at Linghui.
"Old man, stop crying, right now tears are more valuable than anything, we can’t afford the loss. Didn’t you see many skeletons along the way?"
Although Su Xuan also didn’t want to see these people die, so things are unavoidable. Since they chose to enter this desert, they must be prepared to face death at any mont. Linghui’s body constitution was inherently weak; with severe dehydration, she could not hold on since yesterday. It’s already remarkable she lasted until now, Su Xuan knew she was probably beyond saving.
"Teacher, don’t be sad for . I really can’t hold on, Big Brother Su, thank you!"
Linghui looked at Su Xuan, speaking weakly. She thanked Su Xuan because yesterday he gave his water to Linghui, but unfortunately, it still couldn’t save her young life.
Su Xuan sighed in helplessness. In such places, who would die next, he didn’t know. They seed to be trapped in a part of the desert where there were many bleached bones, indicating that this area might be the so-called death zone in the desert, and entering such areas ant it’s hard to get out.
With a rumble, another cal fell, foaming at the mouth. Watching this, Su Xuan felt helpless, even the cals could die from exhaustion; this ti it truly is tragic.
After hurriedly burying Linghui’s body and the cal, they set off again. In this environnt, there’s not much ti to grieve because the next one to die might be oneself.
"Young brother, I might really disappoint you this ti!"
Bu Daming looked at Su Xuan, his lips blistering, probably coughing a lot.
"Haha, Brother Bu, have we entered the death zone?"
Su Xuan asked curiously.
"Uh, truly the heavens don’t favor us, we might have entered a small area here. In this area, a vortex can form, changing the surroundings constantly. I suspect we’ve been circling in one area these past two days!"
Bu Daming said helplessly. Over the past two days, Bu Daming tried many different thods, using all his years of experience, but still couldn’t leave this area. He felt deeply helpless; encountering such a death zone mostly brings helplessness.
"You an we’re trapped in a kind of loop?"
Su Xuan furrowed his brow. Actually, he realized over these days that they seed to be trapped in a maze, unable to find a way out. Su Xuan read in a book about this unique climate formation which could be a few kiloters or a few hundred ters around. If it’s a small range, breaking free isn’t difficult, but if it’s a large range, several kiloters or even tens of thousands of ters, this death zone becos very frightening, with basically no chance to escape once entered.
"Yes, that’s what I an. Such a death loop usually doesn’t scare , I can easily lead you out. But now it’s the windy season; changes occur too fast, making it impossible to find a way out!"
Bu Daming said helplessly. When he finished speaking, Su Xuan furrowed his brow knowing Bu Daming made sense. In such situations, even with abundant experience, it’s extrely dangerous and troubleso.
"Is there really no way?"
This ti, Su Xuan walked ahead with the cal and Bu Daming, feeling the cal beneath him was about to give out soon. If no water source was found, everyone might actually die in this desert!
"Everyone dismount from the cals, throw away useless things, lighten the cal’s load. If the cals die, then we’re dood!"
Su Xuan knew that without cals in the desert, it’s practically suicide. Luck had saved him last ti he escaped.
Hearing Su Xuan’s words, everyone quickly climbed down from the cals. At this mont, they absolutely trusted Su Xuan because in the past two days during their entrapnt, they knew if not for Su Xuan’s help, they might have died long ago.
Everyone dismounted, feeling weary and lost, not knowing where to go. Struggling to climb a small hill, as the sun set, forming a parallel line with the horizon, Su Xuan said helplessly.
"Let’s all stop and rest!"
Observing the Sun, Moon, and Star city could help in navigation, but it’s not precise, as the compass direction was unreliable. In the desert, true reliance is on experience.
Everyone lay directly on the ground, opening their water bags, trying to squeeze out a few drops of water.
"Big brother, are we going to die here?"
Brother ng looked at Su Xuan, asking softly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, yes. Kid, do you regret not going to your wife?"
Su Xuan said humorously. When Su Xuan finished, Brother ng was instantly speechless, thinking to himself how this boss could be so carefree at this mont, still having space to say these things, deeply feeling his boss was crazy.
Luo Tianyi sat down beside Su Xuan, stabbing a military knife into the sand, speaking weakly.
"We’re out of water. In this situation, if it’s dayti, we can’t last three hours. Now, at most until midday tomorrow, if we don’t find water, we’ll all die here!"
"Brother ng, give the binoculars!"
Su Xuan said, standing up, licking his parched lips, looking into the distance, hoping to find a way out.
"It’s useless. Young brother, we’re likely trapped in a large area of the death zone. Unless soone outside signals us, we have no chance to escape."
