ALL NOVEL Chapter 35 - Aftermath
When the live ball approached the sand dune, the sharp-eyed audience in the live broadcast room could vaguely see that the person lying on the sand dune was wearing the uniform issued by the survival game program team.
However, because the person was lying on her side, the sand buried her hands and feet, and only her body and head were exposed. Therefore, until the live ball flew over the person, everyone could tell from her slender figure that it was a woman.
The person was lying on her side on the sand dune, wearing a hood on her head and a white mask on her face, making it impossible to see her face clearly, let alone whether she was dead or alive.
“Looking at this figure, it should be a woman. This can’t be Miss Lucy, but it’s been so long; she’s still lying there motionless, right… Why didn’t the program team send someone to take a look? Even if she didn’t ask for help, it would be good to send relevant personnel to confirm her condition.” Some netizens said so worriedly.
“Have you forgotten that the program team has turned on the life detector? Once the life characteristics of more than 90 adventurers become unstable, the program team will immediately send a rescue team to rescue them.”
“Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, there is only Miss Lucy. Who else could it be but her?”
“In such a big storm, the entire oasis was buried under sand dunes. It was remarkable that Miss Lucy was able to escape from the oasis. I believe she is fine. If something happened, she would not be lying on the sand dunes, but inside the sand dunes.”
“Miss Lucy is really amazing.”
Just as the audience in the live broadcast room was talking about it, someone suddenly shouted, “Look, the person on the sand dune is moving.”
The audience looked over hurriedly, only to see the person on the sand dune move, first turning over and lying flat.
The person turned from lying on his side to lying flat. Although her face was still covered with a cloth, her forehead and eyes were exposed, which was enough for everyone to tell who the person was. That person was Miss Lucy, whom everyone was worried about.
After turning over, Mai Dongzi found that she still didn’t have much strength, so she lay there for a few more minutes before slowly sitting up. If she didn’t get up, she suspected that she would die of thirst.
In the last half an hour of the sandstorm, Mai Dongzi struggled to support herself in the storm wrapped in yellow sand, trying not to be blown away by the wind and buried by the sand. It was like a year passing by.
Therefore, after the sandstorm finally passed, she made sure that there was no danger around and let herself lie down on the sand dunes. It took her more than ten minutes to rest before she had the strength to sit up.
But she was exhausted and not only thirsty but also very hungry.
So she had to struggle to sit up, first pulling down her hood and shaking her hair with her hands.
Even through the screen, the audience could see with their own eyes that her hair had turned black and yellow, and when she shook her hair, yellow sand would fly out of it.
After shaking off most of the sand in her hair, Mai Dongzi took out some cold, boiled water from her space bag, first rinsed her mouth, and only drank it after spitting out all the sand in her mouth. She was almost dying of thirst.
In the storm of yellow sand, even if Mai Dongzi wrapped a cloth strip around her face, she couldn’t avoid the sand constantly pouring into her mouth.
In this situation, not to mention that Mai Dongzi didn’t dare to take out water from the space bag to drink, even if she dared to take it out, she didn’t dare to drink it, so she could only endure it.
After drinking enough water, Mai Dongzi finally got rid of the unbearable feeling of thirst. She took a breath and put away the ceramic kettle, then took out the ceramic lunch box from the space backpack. She had just experienced a big storm, and Mai Dongzi had no appetite, no matter how big her heart was. But her stomach was already very hungry, and she couldn’t rest next, so she planned to drink some broth to replenish her energy.
Mai Dongzi ate the relatively warm broth. The cooked food was placed in the space bag, which could keep warm for two or three days. If it was placed in the space buckle, the time would be even longer.
Mai Dongzi looked in the direction of the original oasis, drinking the soup while sighing.
She really didn’t expect such a large oasis to be swallowed by a sandstorm.
Fortunately, she had thought a lot before, so she prepared a lot of food and drinking water that could be eaten immediately.
Otherwise, now that the oasis has disappeared, she is thirsty, hungry, and tired, and she has to work hard to find food and drinking water.
After eating and drinking enough, Mai Dongzi felt that her physical strength was recovering rapidly, and she looked at the light brain.
It was already past four in the afternoon. Night in the desert falls at around six o’clock, so it will be dark for more than an hour.
She couldn’t sit here any longer. It was really cold to spend the night on the sand dunes.
So Mai Dongzi stood up and looked around…
The first place she looked at was Oasis No. 1, which had been completely buried by sand dunes, without any trace of plants.
However, Mai Dongzi’s mental power “saw” that water was slowly seeping out from the low-lying areas between several sand dunes at the location of the original oasis lake.
As long as there was constant groundwater replenishment, it would not take too long for a small lake to form there, and then new plants would grow around the lake, and then a new oasis would be formed.
An adventurer like Mai Dongzi couldn’t stay in the same place and wait for a new oasis to form. She had to find a new place where she could survive for more than 30 days.
And given her current location, it would be better to go to the forest.
In this way, she would not have to give up the oasis with sufficient food and safety and enter the dangerous forest, thus destroying the original owner’s personality and causing others to suspect her.
However, the forest is more than ten or twenty kilometers away from here. She has to walk through layers of sand dunes to the forest. According to her pace, even if nothing is blocking her on the road, she will need at least three or four hours to get there.
But it was almost dusk at this time, and it would be completely dark in about an hour. The situation in the forest was unclear, and she could not risk entering in the dark.
Besides, after experiencing a shocking sandstorm, she had to rest. So the most important thing for her now was to find a place to spend the night in the shelter from the wind because the desert at night was very cold.
After Mai Dongzi determined the direction of the forest through the coordinates in her optical brain, she walked in that direction without hesitation.
After the audience in the live broadcast room discovered the direction of Mai Dongzi’s movement, they looked at the satellite map of the Blue Water Star, and many viewers quickly guessed her intention.
After Oasis No. 1 was buried by sand dunes, the desert was no longer suitable for human survival.
So even if the forest was much more dangerous than the oasis, Mai Dongzi had to choose to go to the forest, and the audience could understand that.
