Card Room

Chapter 553, the first day of survival in the desert

The speed of the sandstorm in the desert was beyond their imagination. As soon as Lu Jiuchuan's voice fell, the sandstorm tens of meters high had already arrived in front of him. Along with the sandstorm, there was also a gust of wind that almost destroyed everything.

The entire desert was trapped in this gust of wind, and human beings suddenly became extremely small in front of the terrifying nature.

Countless grit swooped fiercely on the face, and everyone became difficult to speak, and they covered their mouth and nose with their sleeves. Before covering his mouth, Xiao Lou shouted loudly, "Get around me!" As soon as he finished shouting, he was filled with sand. Xiao Lou hurriedly lowered his head to spit out the sand, and then took out the compass card.

After hearing Xiao Lou's voice, his teammates ran around him one after another.

The sandstorm tens of meters high is like the top of Mount Tai. Everyone looked at the sand wall in front of them in shock. They were about to be swallowed by the sandstorm. Just at this moment, the huge circle Xiaolou drew was like a transparent cover. Covering a radius of 10 square meters!

The rolling yellow sand immediately flooded everyone, but the invisible barrier formed by the circle of compasses was like propping up a huge umbrella above everyone's head. Countless fine gravels flowed around along the barrier, but couldn't get close to them.

The people staying in the circle looked at each other at the spectacular sight of the sky above their heads being quickly covered by sand.

Fortunately, Professor Xiao's invincible barrier opened in time, otherwise, they would have been buried alive by the sandstorm at this time. You know, being buried alive by tens of meters high in sand is almost a dead end, because humans cannot crawl out of the sand at all. Every time you move your hands or feet, the surrounding sand will immediately pour in and surround you seamlessly. ...

Sandstorms as high as tens of meters quickly piled up into mountains on the top of the barrier. The sun's rays were completely blocked, and the circle of invincibility became pitch black. Xiao Lou hurriedly used a night pearl card to illuminate the surroundings.

The new rule for this challenge level is "All cards will be invalidated after they are used." With the light of Ye Mingzhu, the compass card and Ye Mingzhu card in Xiao Lou's hand had become a pile of card fragments and could no longer be used.

But to help everyone through the crisis of this sandstorm, two cards are worth using.

Xiao Lou looked around and asked in a low voice, "Is everyone all right?"

The expressions on the faces of the teammates were either nervous or shocked. Fortunately, the invincible barrier stopped the sandstorm, and the people standing in the circle were not injured. However, the teammates soon discovered that Liu Qiao, Lao Mo, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue were all gone!

There are only eight people in the compass circle, which is four behind.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Where are Lao Mo, Xiao Liu, Long Sen and Teacher Qu?"

The compass circle only has a range of 10 square meters. It is clear who is missing in the circle. Xiao Lou was also a little nervous. "They stood far away from me. Was it because the wind was so strong that they didn't hear my voice and didn't have time to come over?"

Ye Qi said with a pale face, "Should you not be swept away by the sandstorm, right?"

Lu Jiuchuan looked at Tang Ci seriously, and asked, "If you are buried by the sandstorm, what is your hope of survival?"

Tang Ci's expression is heavy. "Ordinary humans will die within one minute if they can't breathe. After being buried by a sandstorm, they will not be able to climb out within one minute... It is best not to have this result, otherwise it will be very difficult. Save them."

Xiao Lou hurriedly took out the team contract and checked the names on it-on the contract, the signatures of 12 people were neatly arranged page by page, and the names of Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, and Long Qu were not erased.

He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "At least for now, they are still alive, which means that they are not buried by the sand, maybe they just separated?"

The sandstorm is not over yet. Xiao Lou clearly noticed that the wind in the sky above his head was sweeping the dust faster and faster, and it seemed that a tornado had formed. Once Liu Qiao and the four were swept away by the tornado, it would be difficult to find them. Up.

The desert is beyond their imagination.

Maybe when the wind stops, Liu Qiao and the four will be swept away hundreds of kilometers away.

Yu Hanjiang frowned, "When they are really swept away, it will be difficult for them to reunite. You have to find them as soon as possible."

Shao Qingge took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile, "Let me find it."

Ye Qi nervously pulled the corner of his clothes, "You go alone, it's too dangerous..."

Shao Qingge couldn't help but stretched out his hand to Ye Qi’s worried eyes, gently rubbed Ye Qi’s head, and said, “Don’t worry, I’m in the state of the insect king now, and my transformation can last about 20 hours. A little bit of sand can’t hurt me at all, it’s safest to let me go.”

Ye Qi seriously said, "You go alone, are you sure you won't get lost and lost yourself too?"

Shao Qingge "…………"

Can you stop dismantling my station!

But Ye Qi's words also make sense. Shao Qingge's sense of direction is indeed not good. The possibility of getting lost in the desert is as high as 99.

Xiao Lou agreed with the authentic saying, "Shao always can't find people. If you don't find them, you will be lost. Wouldn't it be more troublesome."

Shao Qingge shrugged helplessly, "Well, what do you guys say?"

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and said, "I have an idea, just send the teleportation to bring the four of them back. We have two Tao Yuanming and two Li Qingzhao, and Li Qingzhao's mark can be modified 5 times. It should be enough."

Between Taohuayuan transfer and mark transfer, Xiao Lou decided to choose the latter.

Although Taohuayuan is safer and can last for 3 hours, the disadvantage of Taohuayuan is that the entrance and exit are in the same place. The compass circle is now safe. Unfortunately, they only have a validity period of 10 minutes. They will leave Taohuayuan in 3 hours and then walk there. In this place, there is a risk of being "buried alive by a lot of sand and dust."

It is very difficult for a person to climb out from under tens of meters of sand and dust. It is estimated that half of the climb will suffocate.

On the contrary, Li Qingzhao's mark can be modified. Before the compass ends, Mr. Shao, who is not afraid of suffocation, can go out alone, find a safe place, and pull everyone back to the ground after modifying the mark.

With this in mind, Xiao Lou took out a piece of Li Qingzhao, put the mark inside the compass circle, and said, "No matter where they are blown away, as long as they are in the same secret room, the mark can draw people over."

Everyone agrees with Professor Xiao's idea-sending someone to find it is definitely not as safe and fast as pulling someone back.

After 5 minutes, Xiao Lou opened the team marker point teleportation.

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue soon appeared in front of the crowd, their faces in shock.

Qu Wanyue's long hair was covered with sand and looked very embarrassed. She straightened her hair and said, "Professor Xiao just yelled something, but I didn't hear it clearly, but it was blown out by the wind."

Long Sen said with a pale face, "I was scared to death! We were rolled up more than fifty meters high by the sandstorm. Fortunately, we reacted fast enough and we directly opened the chameleon card and merged with the sand before slowly falling back to the ground. "

Xiao Loudao "It's okay to be fine."

He looked around and found that Liu Qiao and Lao Mo still did not appear. Xiao Lou couldn't help but his expression changed and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Qu, have you seen Liu Qiao and Lao Mo?"

Qu Wanyue shook her head, "I didn't see it. The sand was too windy just now, and the visibility was less than 5 meters. I couldn't see anything outside. A teleportation reminder popped up in the floating box and I came back here."

Long Sen scratched the back of his head and suddenly said, "I seem to hear Xiao Liu's voice. She is shouting, Uncle Mo be careful."

Just now, Long Sen was standing closer to Liu Qiao and Lao Mo. At the moment when the wind blew, he vaguely heard Liu Qiao's yelling. As for the specific content, he did not hear it too clearly.

Long Sen apologized, "The tornado was coming too fast, and I turned my head and found that everyone was gone."

Qu Wanyue looked around and soon realized that something might have happened to Xiao Liu and Lao Mo.

She looked at Xiao Lou worriedly, "Professor Xiao, Xiao Qiao and Lao Mo, shouldn't they be swept away by the tornado?"

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.

At present, it seems that Liu Qiao and Lao Mo are more fortunate.

Although their names are still on the contract, proving that they are still alive, Xiao Lou's teleportation call did not respond to them.

The card summoning will directly pop up a window in the floating box. As long as Liu Qiao and Lao Mo are sober, they can instantly come to Xiao Lou by pressing "Agree to Teleport". Under such a dangerous situation, they have no reason not to accept it. Teleport call.

Unless it is, they lose consciousness.

It is still unknown whether they can wake up in such a terrible dust storm.

What if it is buried hundreds of kilometers away by a strong wind? That's really not seeing people or dead bodies!

Xiao Lou clenched his fists lightly.

Yu Hanjiang held his shoulders and whispered comfortingly, "Don’t worry, Liu Qiao is so smart, and Lao Mo has a strong sense of direction. Although they lose consciousness, they may wake up soon... as long as they wake up, they Can survive."

Xiao Lou nodded, "I know, I hope they are all right."

Although everyone is very worried, but now, the sandstorm has not passed, and they are not rushing to leave the compass barrier. Xiao Lou took a deep breath and calmed down quickly, and handed Li Qingzhao's card to Shao Qingge, saying, "Mr. Shao, the mark can be modified 4 times. Only you will not suffocate. Please go out and find a safe place to send everyone there. Right."

Shao Qingge nodded, "Understand, wait for me to pull you."

He gave everyone a "reassured" look, his legs kicked slightly on the sand, the Zerg's jumping ability reached its peak at this moment, and Shao Qingge jumped more than ten meters high like an arrow from the string, leaving the compass knot. Jie, like a fish going into the deep sea, stretched out his hands flexibly and plunged into the sand.

The others were waiting where they were. As Liu Qiao and Lao Mo were still missing, the faces of everyone were not pretty.

Xiao Lou forced his emotions and sent the team voice headset to everyone.

Although the card becomes invalid after the card is used, the voice headset can maintain communication as long as it stays in everyone's ears. Of course, the communication range is still 10 kilometers.

Xiao Lou held down the earphones and said, "The sandstorm is just a meeting gift from the two kings. There may be even greater dangers in the back. Everyone keeps up and don't get separated."

Seeing that Compass's invincibility time is getting shorter and shorter, if Shao Qingge doesn't teleport, once Compass's invincibility is over for 10 minutes, the sand piled up above the barrier will instantly collapse, burying them alive.

Although Xiao Lou is impatient, he can only trust Mr. Shao.

Shao Qingge not only used the Zerg's climbing and jumping abilities to crawl in the sand, he crawled for 1 minute, and as soon as he jumped out of the ground, he began to use the teleport card to quickly teleport in the opposite direction from the sandstorm.

It teleported 50 meters in one second. This speed was not inferior to the sandstorm. Only 3 minutes later, Shao Qingge got rid of the impact of the sandstorm and came to a vast open space.

He raised his eyes and looked far away.

The weather here is excellent, and there is no trace of sandstorms. There is no cloud in the blue sky, and in the distance, a clear lake, like a bright mirror cast by God in the desert, reflects the surrounding green plants.

By the lake, some beautiful young girls in ethnic costumes of the Western Regions were gathering together to dance. There were also some shirtless young men walking around on camels, carrying some weird goods on them.

There is such an oasis in a very lively town and the vast desert?

Shao Qingge didn't hesitate anymore, modified Li Qingzhao's mark and pulled his teammates over.

After receiving the transmission, the seven Xiaolou immediately pressed consent and instantly appeared next to Shao Qingge.

Ye Qi looked at the scene in front of him and said excitedly, "Great, there are oasis in the desert. We don't need to worry about lack of water and food anymore, we might as well live in this small town for three days!"

Xiao Lou nodded and said, "Okay. Although there may be hunters in ambush in the small town, it is better than aimlessly in the vast desert and lack of water and food."

They don't want to experience the scorching sun again, and the sandstorms that may appear at any time also shock everyone.

The oasis in the desert is so beautiful. The clear water of the lake made everyone thirsty. It would be great if they could get clean water here...

Everyone glanced at each other and walked side by side in the direction of the oasis.

After walking for about 5 minutes, Ye Qi couldn't help but wonder, "Why haven't we arrived yet?"

Long Sen also scratched his head in confusion. "Looking very close, just a few hundred meters ahead, but we have been walking for almost 5 minutes. How do you feel that this oasis... is still a few hundred meters ahead? "

Qu Wanyue looked serious, "Yes, when we take a few steps, the town will take a few steps back, as if it's been moving."

Yu Hanjiang suddenly stopped, and sternly said, "Get out!"

Xiao Lou also reacted, he said with a calm face, "There is no small town in front of me, this is a mirage."

A mirage, a strange landscape in the desert.

You can clearly see some beautiful landscapes not far ahead, but you can't get to them.

Because this is a kind of phantom cast by light.

It's like a rainbow in the sky, visible but not touchable.

It is said that people who encounter a mirage will never get out of this desert.
