From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 981
Chapter 981 The Might of the Desert
“Please take me to get a room. As long as I can turn on the air conditioner, you can do whatever you want …”
Li Tingyu dragged her heavy body and almost fainted. She was panting heavily. The power of the desert was even more terrifying than they had imagined. The sun was like a huge microwave oven on their heads, constantly squeezing out every drop of oil and water in their bodies.
“NO! I only want Coke. As long as someone can give me a bottle of Ice Coke, it doesn’t matter if it’s male or female …”
Jin Maolin, who hooked her head deeply, was almost exhausted. The white people always loved to bask in the sun. However, she didn’t even want to see the sun at all. She didn’t even care about other people’s eyes anymore. She directly took off her shirt and put it on her head. Even her remaining bra seemed to want to be taken off.
“Stop talking nonsense. The more nonsense you have, the sooner you’ll be thirsty …”
Chen Guangda, who was leading the way, shook his head weakly. If they were slightly prepared, it wouldn’t be too difficult to walk in the desert for a day. However, they had almost streaked in naked. Apart from a bottle of half-water, they only had a few packs of cigarettes and lighters on them. They didn’t even have a small biscuit.
“Sigh ~ When is this going to be the end …”
Jiang Shilin raised her head tearlessly. They had already walked for more than two hours, but there was still a vast desert ahead of them. Moreover, the rising and falling sand dunes always gave people an illusion. It was as if they had always lingered on the same spot and hadn’t advanced. Just by looking at it, they had put a lot of pressure on people’s minds.
“Guangda! Give me another drink of water, I really can’t …”
Li Damei stumbled over like a zombie. It was just past 12 o’clock at noon. When the sun was at its hottest, the sweat had almost evaporated. Li Damei’s entire body was covered in salt, and she felt like she was being squeezed dry from the inside out.
“Everyone, come over and take a sip. Then don’t swallow another mouthful. This way, you can relieve your thirst to the fullest extent possible …”
Chen Quan stopped and opened half of the bottle of water in his hand. He was the only one with experience in desert survival. However, compared to a true expert, he was still far from being able to survive. However, before he could finish speaking, a beautiful figure suddenly fell heavily to the ground. No one expected Xia Fei to be the first to fall.
“Feifei! What’s wrong with you …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly rushed to Xia Fei’s side. When he pulled her out of the sand, he saw that Xia Fei was trembling non-stop. Her face was as ugly as white paper. It was obvious that her body was dehydrated. Chen Guangda hurriedly poured her two large mouthfuls of water, which made her face slightly relieved.
“Feifei’s period just happened to be here these past two days. She is already very weak. If she continues to walk like this, she will definitely be able to achieve great things …”
Yan Qing also anxiously squatted over and kept fanning Xia Fei with her clothes. Unexpectedly, Xia Fei shook her head as soon as she recovered her strength and wanted to stand up. However, Chen Guangda directly carried her and said, “Stop being brave. Even if you can’t hold on, no one will underestimate you. You’ve already done well enough!”
“But I still can’t keep up with your footsteps …”
Xia Fei tilted her body and suddenly laughed miserably. Chen Guangda’s eyes immediately turned red. He knew how strong Xia Fei was. In order to prevent others from saying that she was a useless vase, and even to not be compared to Yan Qing, she was practically using the highest standards to demand herself. It could be said that she was not inferior to any of Chen Guangda’s men.
“You are my woman, not my subordinate warrior. I am very satisfied that you can do this …”
Chen Guangda touched her long hair with great heartache. She stood up and carried her on her back. Yan Qing and the other girls quickly put their jackets on their heads. They each drank a mouthful of water before continuing their journey. However, it didn’t take long for a few women to start experiencing problems one after another. First, Jiang Shilin fell to the ground and was struck by the heat. Soon, even Jin Maolin couldn’t hold on anymore.
“Fifth Brother! Sorry to trouble you …”
Chen Guangda looked helplessly at the tottering Jin Maolin. Without saying a word, Fifth Brother stepped forward to carry her. On Chen Quan’s back, he had already carried the heatstroke Jiang Shilin. Fortunately, the three of them were in good condition. They all knew how to minimize their physical exertion. Otherwise, Jiang Shilin and the others would basically be dead.
“Oasis! There’s an oasis ahead …”
Li Damei suddenly shouted in surprise. Everyone immediately rushed to the top of the dune. Sure enough, they saw a lush desert oasis appearing in the distance. Yan Qing said with tears of joy, “Great! We can be considered saved now!”
“We can’t go over there. It’s a mirage …”
Fifth Brother suddenly shook his head coldly. He took out a small telescope at some unknown time. This kind of thing made of pure plastic and glass was naturally not afraid of strong magnetic fields. As soon as he finished speaking, he handed the telescope to Chen Guangda. When Chen Guang lifted it up, he was shocked and said, “What kind of place is this refraction? Why is there still light rail running?”
“Impossible, even our territory doesn’t have the ability to restart the light rail …”
Yan Qing immediately took the binoculars and looked forward. Who knew that not only did she see the light rail, there was actually a large electronic screen playing cosmetics advertisements. The surroundings were bustling with traffic. Yan Qing immediately said in horror, “Guang … there is a time under the advertisement. It is … May 13, 2016. How is this possible before the end of the day?”
“There has been a lot of controversy about the cause of the mirage. Many people say that it is a projection of another world, and some say it is an image of the past. But now, it seems that it is definitely not just a refraction of light and shadows …”
Li Damei took the binoculars and looked at them. She shook her head in disappointment. Chen Quan then said, “No matter how the mirage formed, many seniors told me not to walk in the direction of the mirage. Otherwise, it will lead you into a death trap!”
“Ai ~ This damn desert …”
Chen Guangda sighed heavily. The desert was definitely a forbidden area for all life. Not only were they humans unable to survive here, even living corpses were unable to contend with this place. They had never even seen a small living corpse along the way. Apart from their pale bones, they were also disgusting dried corpses.
Fortunately, the mirage appeared in two different directions from Ai Ning, and more than an hour had passed since then. Chen Guangda’s watch had been completely magnetized and stopped moving the moment he entered the magnetic field. They could only barely judge the current time by the sun.
“Putong ~”
Another person fell down heavily and rolled down from the sand dune to Li Damei’s side. However, Li Damei walked past her expressionlessly as if she hadn’t seen her. Chen Guangda only looked back at her and said without turning his head, “Li Ru! Remember to be a good person in your next life, if you can reincarnate as a human!”
“Save … save me, please … please …”
Li Ru was lying weakly in the sand, almost unable to lift her head. However, none of them looked at her again. All of them flipped over the dune without turning back and gradually disappeared from Li Ru’s sight. Li Ru’s trembling head could no longer hold on any longer. She immediately fell heavily into the sand and was buried by the yellow sand that had slipped down.
“Look ahead, it looks like an airplane …”
Not long after, Chen Quan suddenly raised his head. Behind a tall sand dune, a huge red long board was standing high in the air. There was also a golden dragon painted on it. It looked like the tail of a wrecked passenger plane. However, when everyone rushed forward, they were instantly stunned.
“My God! Why are there so many …”
Chen Guangda couldn’t believe his eyes as he stood on the sand dune. There were actually five or six disintegrated passenger planes lying in the sand ahead. Some of the planes had been burned into a pile of scrap metal, while others were buried more than half of the time by yellow sand. Deep in the sand dune, there was only a slight clue, but the most exaggerated thing was a huge rocket wreckage.
“This seems to be a rocket launching a satellite. It’s so big …”
Yan Qing stared blankly at the huge rocket that only had half of it left. Before, she had not felt that it was very big on TV. Now, Ken could only describe it as huge. The engine flamethrower at the end of the light tail was as big as a small house. However, it was estimated that this thing, like those passenger planes, was caused by the strong magnetic field here.
However, Chen Guangda was no longer in the mood to care about what it was. These passenger planes carried a lot of luggage and supplies without guessing. Although they didn’t see anything on the surface, they must be hiding in the wreckage and sand. Right now, the most precious things to them were water and food.
“Let’s split up and quickly find the water. Don’t let it go in the sand …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly roared and put down Xia Fei on his back. Jiang Shilin and the other girls, who were originally half-dead, were also instantly refreshed. They all rushed down to the wreckage of the plane like crazy. However, who knew that there was a sudden flash of human figures in front of them. Five or six men and women actually ran out of the wreckage in one breath.
“You …”
Chen Guangda stopped in shock. They looked at each other in shock. However, he soon discovered that these people did not seem to be the adventurers of the Evil Desert. Although they were all wearing professional hiking equipment, there were no traces left on their faces after being exposed to the sun for a long time. Their clothes were all very clean, just like a bunch of travelers who had just entered the desert.
“Jiang Shilin? Why are you here …”
A slender young woman suddenly spoke. She looked at the sorry Jiang Shilin in shock. Jiang Shilin looked at her in shock and stammered, “I… we came to play. Who knew that we met a group of monsters outside. We accidentally lost our way while escaping? What about you guys?”
“I… We are also…”
The other party nodded in panic, but he was clearly lying like Jiang Shilin. The men beside her were even more vigilant as they held a few machetes. Chen Guangda’s brows immediately furrowed. The machetes and daggers in their hands were actually made of brass. They were obviously prepared.
