I walked on the yellow sand step by step. The sun was so scorching that it seemed to burn me to a crisp. My cheeks were red and my eyes were bloodshot.

"Fatty! Xiao Ding!" I shouted to Fatty and Xiao Ding as I walked, hoping that if they were also teleported here, they would hear my voice and come to find me.

After walking in the desert for about a quarter of an hour, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me. When I got closer, I realized that it was the person I least wanted to see.

Jack!

He happened to look up when I walked over. I thought he would feel a little guilty when he saw me, but I was wrong again.

Far from feeling a trace of guilt, he looked at me expressionlessly and said as usual: "You are here, come with me!"

I almost laughed out of anger. Who does he think he is? If he tells me to go with him, I will go with him. But he abandons me?

Teammates like this are simply disgusting!

My eyes darted, and I rushed to him in an instant, punching him in the face. He instantly fell to the ground. Still feeling unsatisfied, I squatted down, grabbed his collar, and angrily asked, "Why?"

Why did you abandon your teammates, why did you abandon me?

Could it be that all the time we spent together on the deserted island, the life and death experiences we went through side by side, were all fake?

"I didn't abandon you!" Jack turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, ignoring the hand pulling on his collar, and answered calmly.

"You're talking nonsense!" You're still quibbling when the time comes. Do you think he's blind?

I pulled harder and harder on his collar, until his cheeks turned red from suffocation, but I still didn't let go.

Jack looked at me forbearingly, then waved my hand away, unable to bear it any longer. He rolled over and pinned me to the ground, explaining in a cold voice, "I didn't lie to you, nor did I abandon you. Letting go was the only option under those circumstances. Only in this way could we have a glimmer of hope. Do you understand?"

"You're fucking bullshit! You abandoned your teammates and escaped alone, and you still think you're right?" I sneered and cursed harshly.

"Whether you believe it or not, the fact that you are still alive is the best evidence!" Jack frowned and snorted coldly, then let go of me and stood up.

I was stunned, lying on the ground looking up at him, frowning: "What do you mean?"

"Why do you think we are here?" Jack asked as he straightened his clothes that were messed up by me.

Hearing this, my brows furrowed even tighter. I stared at Jack and expressed my inner speculation: "Could it be that the distortion of time and space accidentally sent us here?"

Although it's a bit unbelievable, I can't find a more reasonable explanation than this.

What's more, aren't there enough incredible things happening in this damn place?

Unexpectedly, Jack sneered coldly when he heard this, as if laughing at my naiveté: "Do you think there would be such a coincidence in the world?"

My face darkened at his smile, and I asked with some dissatisfaction: "Then why do you say that?"

"We were sent here by that water ghost. There seems to be some magic at the bottom of the river that teleported us here." The smile on Jack's face disappeared in an instant, and he looked so serious that it was frightening.

Method?

I widened my eyes in surprise, unable to believe that the water ghost could be so kind.

Does that mean that Fatty and Xiao Ding are fine and we have escaped?

As if he saw through my thoughts, Jack sneered again, breaking my fantasy: "Don't dream! That water ghost sent us here for a purpose. It also proves that this place is countless times more dangerous than the riverbed."

"Why?" I asked hesitantly.

"Because the water ghost didn't follow in."

Isn’t it a good thing that the water ghost didn’t follow in?

I looked up at him in confusion, hoping he could give me an explanation.

Jack sighed softly, as if he was somewhat helpless about my low IQ, and began to explain, "The water ghost didn't come in not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't. When you and I fell in together, we saw the water ghost screaming in terror at this place, and then it disappeared in an instant."

Um?

etc!

Fall with me?

I suddenly grabbed his collar and asked anxiously, "Did you really swim back to save me? Did no one escape?"

"Didn't you see everything?" Jack glanced at me unhappily and pried open my fingers that were pulling at his collar.

I was stunned for a moment, then a surge of ecstasy surged in my heart. I couldn't help but curl my lips and punched him in the chest: "This guy looks like my brother!"

The result was just a roll of the eyes from Jack.

"Then you asked me to let go of Fatty because you knew he wouldn't die?" Thinking of him prying my hand that was holding Fatty in the water, I couldn't help but ask again.

Jack was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head: "No, I was just guessing at the time."

My face darkened instantly and I gritted my teeth again.

Jack avoided my gaze awkwardly and changed the subject: "Fatty and Xiao Ding must be in this desert too. We might run into them if we keep going forward."

I sighed helplessly, stopped caring about it, and followed him forward.

The sun was scorching, and after walking for about an hour, we both sat on the ground panting and gasping for breath, feeling as if we were about to be roasted.

"It's too hot. If we continue like this, we'll die of dehydration before we find Fatty and Xiao Ding." I sat on the yellow sand, looking at the sun above my head, and couldn't help but turn my head to say to Jack.

Jack frowned, seemingly in a bad mood due to the heat, his face darkening. "Nothing we can do. We can only hope we'll find an oasis or something like that up ahead."

So, even he can't do anything about it.

I lowered my head. My skin, which was red from the sun, hurt when touched. I pursed my lips tightly and sighed helplessly.

Just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, this deserted island is simply weird.

After resting for a while, the two continued to move forward. Their steps were a little unsteady and they felt a little drowsy.

After walking for half a day, we finally saw an oasis in the distance. No, it’s a bit strange to call it an oasis, because there was no green plant on the land that was not covered by yellow sand, and the land was dark red, which looked a bit weird.

However, after a day of running around in the desert, I no longer cared about these things. With green light in my eyes, I ran towards a water source in the oasis, my throat was so thirsty that it was smoking.

I lay down beside the water, reached out to scoop up a handful of water and was about to drink it.

Unfortunately, before my mouth could touch the water, Jack's face changed. He suddenly raised his hand and knocked over the water in my hand, his face looking terribly gloomy.

I instantly got angry and yelled at him, "What are you doing?"

"This water is not drinkable." Jack didn't look at me, but turned to look at the lake in front of us, his tone so cold that it was almost freezing.
