Yan Zi struggled to get up, but to no avail. She quickly summoned A Jiao and had her dig her out of the ground.

She looked down and saw that her body was covered with sand mites of all sizes!

"Ugh, that's disgusting!"

Yan Zi quickly took off her protective suit and put on a new one, then stomped them all to death!

The horned turtle was a little confused!

Why did you kill these insects?

Yan Zi: "If we don't kill them, why keep them for the New Year?"

Horned turtle: "You humans are so extravagant. These are all edible foods. Don't you know that carnivorous resources are precious in the desert?"

Yan Zi was stunned when she heard this.

She hadn't thought about that.

She asked, "Is this what you usually eat?"

The horned turtle's face instantly stiffened.

Yan Zi looked at its bluish-purple face and felt completely bewildered.

"?"

Horned turtle: "I've seen you humans eat these things because you're starving. I thought you humans loved to eat them. Of course, we don't eat everything. For example, we don't like to eat these things!"

After it finished speaking, it even pouted guiltily, which meant it wasn't telling the truth!

Yan Zi: "Alright, if you want to eat it, I'll save it for you next time!"

Horned turtle: "No, no, no, I don't like to eat it, I was just saying that."

Yan Zi snorted coldly.

She glanced around and noticed something was amiss. She asked softly, "Do you know what happened here? Where's my tent?"

Thorn Gourd: "It seems that the master's tent is also buried in the sand. Although the sandstorm didn't come yesterday, a sand sinkhole appeared!"

Yan Zi: "What's going on?"

Before she could even ask what was going on, the ground beneath her feet suddenly began to shake violently again…

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving day 13! The regional rankings have been refreshed once again. You can check your position and claim the corresponding title and resources: ...]

Yan Zi had only heard half of it when Ci Gua jumped away, making a ruckus.

“Master, leave that place quickly, or you will be buried in the ground again.”

After it finished speaking, it ran away without looking back.

Not to mention how fast the horned turtle is; it had already burrowed underground just moments before the earthquake.

Yan Zi rolled her eyes at the two of them speechlessly, then quickly ran out.

Although her reaction was a bit slower than the other two, she still had speed, so she quickly moved away from the collapsed area.

After escaping the collapse zone, she gasped for breath, her eyes wary.

The spot where she had just been standing has now become a deep pit.

Yan Zi: "How much time has passed between when this happened and when I woke up?"

While the horned turtle was still thinking, the spiny gourd raised its hand to answer: "It happens about every 20 minutes. That thing seems to have an earthquake frequency. Although I can't feel it, it can be clearly affected."

Yan Zi frowned upon hearing this answer.

Because this was at a different time than when she encountered the sand trap again.

The exact time cannot be predicted.

Is this a sign of a minor disaster?

Yan Zi's heart sank; this was not a good sign.

If this happens and no one reacts, it increases the number of unnecessary deaths.

She immediately opened the panel and checked the number of people in each area; sure enough, it was less than 10,000 people.

The regional channel was flashing its lights incessantly.

Yan Zi clicked to view directly!

Official personnel from the Dragon Kingdom took the lead in organizing the evacuation of people, and members of various guilds also joined forces to resist the disaster.

To her surprise, this time they even distributed a series of usable resources.

When I think back to the first minor disaster, everyone panicked and no one was able to gather resources accurately, which ultimately led to a tragedy.

There has been progress so far.

Yan Zi quickly opened it and found a series of usable resources inside.

First and foremost, mountain bikes are the most useful!

In addition, there are blueprints for various battlefield riding equipment that can be directly redeemed by purchasing qualifications.

Yan Zi was somewhat surprised. After scrolling through the comments, she realized that all of these items were taken from the newly opened area treasure chests today.

She suddenly remembered that she had indeed heard electronic mechanical voices while fleeing, but she hadn't paid much attention to them at the time, thinking they were just talking about a minor disaster, and focused on escaping. She never expected there to be a new treasure chest inside.

"This system is really strange. It clearly said there would be no treasure chests, so how come there are suddenly some?"

Yan Zi quickly took out the treasure chest, opened it, and inside was an off-road vehicle!

Yan Zi was so shocked that her mouth dropped open!

"this……"

Yan Zi raised her hand and used a talent skill. With the talent activated, the dice spun and the number stopped at six.

Without hesitation, Yan Zi put the remaining six items into the backpack compartments for storage.

Then he stepped into the car and prepared to start it!

She had just turned the doorknob when the car slammed shut, leaving her puzzled.

Yan Zi immediately checked the car's condition, only to find that it was out of gas!

"Wow, you even need gas to drive a car!"

With a look of utter despair, Yan Zisheng placed the two contracted beasts on the back of the vehicle and sternly instructed, "You two stay on the roof and keep watch. If any signs of danger appear, you must tell me, especially you, Ajiao!"

The horned turtle felt a little embarrassed by the name.

It stubbornly retorted, "I have a name, why are you calling me in such an ambiguous way?"

Yan Zi's lips twitched slightly, then she glanced at it.

"Didn't you say you were a famous elite monster? Just because of your name, you're acting like this?"

Yan Zi's casual question instantly triggered a fragile nerve in its heart.

"I have a name, that's all!"

Yan Zi nodded, not bothering to waste any more words.

"Horned Turtle, you and Spiny Melon cooperate well and successfully defended the position. I need to deal with the oil problem of this vehicle."

The horned turtle seemed a bit sullen, unlike the gourd next to it that was grinning foolishly.

"You think you're so funny? You think you're so good at winning over that human girl's heart!"

The prickly gourd immediately nodded, even happier!

The horned turtle turned its head away sullenly and went off to carry out its mission!

Yan Zi then went into the regional channel to buy diesel fuel!

What bothered her was that these guys had driven the price of diesel so high.

After asking around for a while, she found out that some people had also gotten these battlefield vehicles from their treasure chests, and they needed fuel!

So these ridiculously high prices are simply a way to profit from disasters, directly inflating prices and forcing people to accept these exorbitant costs.

Yan Zi gritted her teeth and decided to go out and try her luck.

She immediately went to the world chat to make the purchase, but to her annoyance, they were also starting to restrict oil supplies...
