Zhou Daqian leaned on a plant to rest after his wife and daughter fell asleep. All of sudden, he heard some noises coming from outside the oasis. He hurriedly got up with Chen Maocai and walked carefully along the edge of the sand dune. After climbing up to the top and looking forward, his face instantly turned pale in shock.
In the vast desert under the moonlight, he discovered that Chu Yunsheng and the little boy were being chased by a dense group of monsters. It was too dark, he couldn’t see what they were, but judging from the chaotic scene and the intensity of the chasing, those monsters were definitely not inferior to those pig-headed monsters that they had encountered before.
The perilous new world had long obliterated the fantasy they had before entering the new world. The snowy areas in the extreme north were slightly better, and they did not encounter any scary things, but after they were inexplicably sent to the desert and saw the bloody scene of pig-headed monsters roasting humans, people no longer felt hopeful about their future.
The little boy and Chu Yunsheng were the people who were saved by Zhou Daqian from the snow, and Zhou Daqian had also seen that they were judged to be dead by the medical team. After both of them came back from the dead, he knew better than anyone else that the little boy and Chu Yunsheng were not ordinary people. If there was still a trace of doubt and uncertainty in his mind before, then what they did to the pig-headed monster and what happened right before his eyes at the moment completely dispelled his doubts and uncertainty.
They were like martial arts masters, no, it should be said that they were like humans with superpowers!
He looked at Chen Maocai and signaled him to get down from the sand dune. After coming down, he said in a low voice, “Maocai, we need to wake everyone up, and get ready to escape!”
Chen Maocai was also terrified by those fierce monsters. He asked with a pale face, “Escape? Brother Zhou, where are we going to escape to?”
Yes, where could they escape to? The No. 187 camp should be still in the northern snowy area now. They were now in a completely different area. If there was no accident, in this strange and dangerous world, being alone meant death.
Zhou Daqian swallowed and stopped thinking about those frustrating thoughts. Although Chu Yunsheng and the little boy indeed have superpowers, he didn’t know if they were able to defeat those monsters. What if they were eaten by those monsters? The rest of them did not have any ability to resist those monsters at all.
Looking at the unfamiliar starry sky above his head, The astronomical knowledge he received in the previous training was completely useless at this moment. He lowered his head feebly, bit his lip, and suppressed the panic in his heart. Clenching a handful of sand tightly, he hated himself for being so weak and powerless.
The noises on the other side of the sand dune were getting further and further away. Chen Maocai climbed up to the sand dune and took a very careful look again, “Brother Zhou, they seem to be leading those strange monsters away.”
Zhou Daqian took a breath and expelled the feeling of despair from his mind again. He knew that he should not give up. Although he was weak in front of the strange monsters in the new world, he must show his wife and daughter that they could still rely on him. If he gave up now, what would happen to his weak daughter and wife?
Zhou Daqian gratefully looked at the shadows of the two people on the other side of the sand dune, and immediately sent Chen Maocai back to wake everyone up. Although the strange monsters had been drawn away, no one knew when they would return.
He felt very anxious. He had a strange feeling that Chu Yunsheng and the little boy would not be able to survive this.
Soon after Chen Maocai woke everyone up, he ran back with a few more young and strong men.
The chase outside did not last long. Zhou Daqian rubbed his eyes and looked at the place where Chu Yunsheng and the little boy were again. He saw a strange rune appearing in the center of the group of strange monsters. The rune was gleaming with mysterious black light, like the hieroglyphs on the wall of a historical site.
Then a cloud of black mist continuously emerged from the rune, shrouding the dense monsters that were still fighting below. Under the moonlight, the black mist distorted like a devil from hell, swallowing all living creatures in one bite…
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
The noisy desert suddenly became extremely silent.
After the black mist disappeared, all the monsters also disappeared without a trace, leaving only the little boy and Chu Yunsheng lying on the ground motionless.
Hesitating for a moment, Zhou Daqian gritted his teeth and said, “Maocai, let’s climb over and take a closer look!”
Chen Maocai nodded and slowly crawled toward the place where Chu Yunsheng and the little boy were with Zhou Daqian.
After a while, Chen Maocai made a gesture behind him, signaling the rest of the men to come over. They then quickly moved Chu Yunsheng and the little boy back to the oasis.
“Are they still alive?”
“I don’t know!”
“They don’t have any pulse. I think they are dead.”
“Lao Jiang, what do you think? Do you think they can still be saved?”
“No, their bodies are already starting to get cold.”
“Daddy, what happened to Elder Brother Little Eight and Uncle Chu?”
