Chapter 31 - Storm 1
Mai Dongzi climbed up to the top of the volcanic rock again and looked in the direction of the sandstorm.
In just half an hour, the east had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the sky there had become dark. Even with the naked eye, Mai Dongzi could see the surging storm body, which was carrying a lot of sand and soil and was approaching the oasis.
At this time, the sky in the west above the oasis was still bright, but the sky in the east was full of rolling dark clouds, and the strong wind in the oasis was getting stronger and stronger. The wind force was at least level 11, and it made a whistling sound when it blew past.
Every time the strong wind blew, Mai Dongzi, who was standing on the high ground, was a little unstable.
The plants in the oasis that were broken by the wind were picked up by the wind, spun, and hit Mai Dongzi. Although she dodged sideways, it also meant that it was not safe to stand outside.
Therefore, Mai Dongzi jumped off the volcanic rock and entered the volcanic rock cave.
In addition to practicing these days, Mai Dongzi did not forget to expand the rock cave in depth. However, because the sandstorm was estimated to arrive in about ten days, she was not in a hurry to finish it but planned to dig slowly.
In Mai Dongzi’s previous life’s knowledge, and the relevant information given by the Shuilanxing garrison in this life, although a sandstorm in the Heart Desert lasts for about three hours.
So she stayed in this rock cave for only a few hours, and there was no need to make it too delicate.
Until yesterday, she had just dug out a cave less than two meters high and about four square meters. And because it was just rough digging, not to mention the uneven walls of the cave, even the ground was bumpy.
Such a cave is not suitable for resting; even sitting down is uncomfortable.
In the volcanic rock cave, Mai Dongzi could hear the wind outside getting stronger and stronger, and the whistling of the wind was getting louder and louder. It is definitely safer to hide in here than to go out. Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Mai Dongzi used a dagger to scrape the rock ground against the wall flat.
Then she took out the parachute and spread it on the ground to make a bed, which was enough for her.
Mai Dongzi sat cross-legged in meditation, but she was not planning to practice but to use her mental power to “observe” the situation outside so as not to be unaware of any danger.
After all, this is a desert. Although there is no rain in a sandstorm, there is more terrible sand than in a rainstorm.
Mai Dongzi first “scanned” the entire rock cave and found that the micro-live ball had followed her into the rock cave. Her mental power condensed into a small hand, and she quietly pushed the micro-live ball out of the rock cave.
In the survival game program group, the monitoring staff shouted: “Director, the live ball of adventurer No. 01 seems to be out of control and has moved its position by itself. What should we do?”
Although the video of Mai Dongzi playing music with leaves has been deleted at the signal of Adjutant Chen, the things leaked in this music video were still known to people.
After the director informed the top management of the Huangguo live broadcast platform about his contact with Adjutant Chen, the top management quickly concluded that Prince Arthur intended to take care of Lucy Xi and naturally did not dare to neglect her affairs.
So they also fed back all the information about Lucy Xi to the director, and the director also knew that Lucy Xi might be a psychic.
Therefore, when the director heard that the live broadcast ball lost control for a while, flew out of the volcanic cave where Lucy Xi was, and then returned to normal, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Then he instructed the staff to pay attention to personal privacy and not let the live broadcast ball fly into the volcanic cave again.
In the Blue Water Star garrison base, Prince Arthur was fighting with Zhang Shenshang in the training room.
Although Zhang Shenshang was only a mid-level sixth-level warrior, Prince Arthur’s mental strength was damaged. Before he recovered, he could only stretch his muscles and bones and could not exert his full strength, so he tied with Zhang Shenshang.
Adjutant Chen, who was practicing in another practice room, received information about the sandstorm in Oasis No. 1.
After thinking about it, he felt that the situation at Miss Lucy’s place was not critical, and there were guards around to protect her, so he did not interrupt Prince Arthur’s practice immediately.
Although he did not report it to Prince Arthur immediately, Adjutant Chen did not dare to ignore the matter. He silently paid attention and collected various pieces of information about the sandstorm.
As soon as Prince Arthur came out of the training room, Adjutant Chen immediately reported to him: “Your Highness, a sandstorm has occurred in Oasis No. 1 in the desert of Blue Water Star.”
Prince Arthur paused while wiping his sweat, then frowned slightly: “According to previous rules, the next sandstorm should be about ten days away.”
“According to the latest statistics, the average temperature of the ocean at Blue Water Star this year is a little higher than last year, which may cause changes in the desert climate and lead to the early occurrence of sandstorms. I have asked relevant meteorological experts, and after analyzing all the data from this sandstorm, they came to a very bad conclusion.” Adjutant Chen said.
After hearing what Adjutant Chen said, Prince Arthur looked at him, waiting for his next words.
“The level of this sandstorm will be stronger than all previous sandstorms.” Adjutant Chen said.
After hearing this, Prince Arthur’s face sank, and he immediately opened Mai Dongzi’s live broadcast room.
It was only one o’clock in the afternoon. In the past, this time period was the brightest and hottest time in the desert. The audience in the live broadcast room could see through the camera that the heat evaporated under the sunlight, causing the light to bend.
But today, the entire Oasis No. 1 has fallen into the darkness of the night. Prince Arthur saw that in the violent sandstorm, the plants in the oasis were either stripped of their branches and leaves or uprooted and rolled into the air.
“The wind force of this sandstorm may have reached the highest level.” Prince Arthur frowned again.
“Your Highness, do we need to bring Miss Lucy out?” Adjutant Chen was also a little worried.
With the equipment and capabilities of the rescue team of the survival game program group, they could not rescue people from such a big storm.
But for their Blue Water Star garrison, this is not a difficult task. Although the sandstorm is fierce, it has little effect on the level 7 mecha.
They can send a level 7 warrior to drive the level 7 mecha into the desert oasis to bring Miss Lucy out.
However, Adjutant Chen was a little hesitant, because after watching Lucy Xi’s performance in the past few days, his impression of this girl changed from the daughter of Prince Arthur’s benefactor at the beginning to a self-reliant, intelligent, and talented girl now.
So Adjutant Chen also hoped that Lucy Xi could survive to the end of the survival game and obtain a huge amount of credit with her own ability.
In this way, she will not only be able to live a rich life in the future, but she will also be able to straighten her back and not be bound by the Xi family.
Prince Arthur pondered for a while before saying: “Let No. 01 be ready and keep an eye on her condition at all times. If there is any danger, whether she asks for help or not, bring her out immediately.”
“Yes!” Adjutant Chen immediately took the order to contact No. 01.
