Chapter 122: Return to the Oasis and Escaping the Quicksand
Nanxing returned to the oil field town with the scraps collected from the player camp. On his way back, he seemed to hear some zombie sounds.
It came from the direction of the gold rush town.
Thinking about what Henry had said before, she had a bad feeling. After returning to the camp, Nanxing immediately gathered people and prepared to drive the RV and water truck to the desert oasis.
Before that, she had to get some gasoline.
Nanxing collected a total of thirty-one space props from the player camp, and hid in the RV to complete the transaction for the vending machine.
This transaction was relatively easy. Nanxing curled his lips as he looked at the new endless water bottle in his hand.
The two kettles looked exactly the same and were the same size. Nanxing marked them with a pen, one for water and the other for oil.
Then use space accessories to expand the capacity of the water kettle to 50 cubic meters and the oil kettle to 20 cubic meters.
Excluding the 10 cubic meters of space for the trading kettle, she kept the remaining 6 cubic meters of space for the time being, as it might be useful someday.
This time in the desert she got nearly 100 cubic meters of space, which was a very good profit.
There are more than just these for desert players, but the desert is too big and the players' landing points are different. It's quite amazing that the players can find so many space props in the camp.
Nanxing's demand for space is not that strong now. The space plus the endless water bottle is already more than 200 cubic meters, which is more than enough to store survival supplies.
Because most of the people in the camp went to the oil field town to clean up the zombies, the rest were resting, which made it convenient for Nanxing to commit the crime.
Nanxing looked around and checked with the surveillance cameras. After confirming that there was no one around, he sneaked up to the vicinity of the twenty or so tanker trucks.
There was no one watching over the tanker truck. With such a large oil field, the thing the camp had the most was gasoline.
There are so many tanker trucks with hundreds of thousands of liters of gasoline. It wouldn't be noticeable if she took 20,000 liters. She could just steal a little from each tanker truck.
Adding the gasoline she already had in her space, Nanxing quickly filled the gasoline can.
He also filled up the gasoline in the surveillance camera.
After getting the space and gasoline, Nanxing gathered all the people she had selected and officially set off for the desert.
This time they were going to the largest oasis deeper in the desert. The journey was quite long, and it would probably take three days for them to return.
Nanxing drove his RV to the tanker truck to fill up the gas, and then set off for the oasis with a dozen water trucks.
Before leaving, Nanxing looked back in the direction of the gold mining town, and then left without looking back.
I heard from the people in the town of Death Bell that there are a lot of water sources and edible plants in that large oasis, and there are also many animals living around it.
The people of Deathbell Town planted a lot of plants there.
However, when we say planting, we actually just sow the seeds. If you check on them regularly, you can give them a surprise every time.
Nanxing is quite looking forward to it.
Although the supplies in her space were enough for her to live comfortably for half a year, Nanxing still felt that it was not enough and she needed to collect more and more comprehensive supplies.
It is unknown how long a drought will last, and there are often many natural disasters accompanying the drought.
High temperatures, fires, insect pests, plagues, ...
What Nanxing is most worried about is the high temperature. Everything else is fine. Although there is air conditioning in the RV, when the temperature reaches a certain level, the RV itself will have problems.
With these worries, the RV began to drive into the depths of the desert. The long-distance driving process was very boring.
In addition, the terrain of a place like the desert is complex and unpredictable. Even a veteran like Britta who has been dealing with the desert for a long time and making a living from the desert will fall.
So, she didn't feel strange at all when some unlucky guy accidentally drove his car into quicksand.
Anyway, she was not the unlucky one, and the car that got stuck was not a water truck, so Nanxing didn't care.
"Hurry, grab the rope and climb out!" Nanxing stood some distance away from the quicksand with a worried look on his face and shouted anxiously.
Britta had seen this happen many times and handled it methodically and calmly.
The survivors whose car got stuck were terrified. They lay on the roof, shouting and scrambling for the rope thrown over, fearing that they would fall behind and be abandoned.
Because of their movements, the car sank faster, and a survivor who was holding the rope almost fell down.
A hint of impatience flashed in Nanxing's eyes. This was the kind of person she hated the most. It would be better if they calmed down, but they insisted on putting themselves in the worst possible situation.
Britta was trying to calm them down, but one of the survivors still fell into the quicksand.
He cried even louder and sank into the quicksand even faster, with half of his body swallowed by it.
Britta couldn't help but show a hint of impatience on her face. She kept crying and it was so annoying.
"I told you to stay calm and don't move, didn't you understand?" Britta yelled. "If you want to die faster, keep moving!"
Britta's roar finally calmed the survivor down a little. He cried and looked at them pitifully.
"Don't be afraid, we won't give up on you. Listen to Miss Britta. She has experience. It's not difficult to escape from quicksand. There are so many of us still here." Nanxing squatted down with a gentle look, and patiently comforted the survivor.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Lily. Please don't ignore me." The survivor finally listened and responded miserably.
"Listen to me, now relax, stretch your arms out, and then press your back and head back against the quicksand."
"Or you can lean forward and place your abdomen and chest against the quicksand. In any case, you need to increase the contact area between your body and the quicksand."
The survivor immediately followed Britta's instructions, increasing the contact area between his body and the quicksand.
"Very good, now grab this rope, yes, that's right." Britta threw out the rope and guided the survivor little by little.
"Next, gently move your feet back and forth to allow the water in the quicksand to seep in and reduce the stickiness of the surrounding sand. Don't rush, take your time."
"Try to pull one of your feet out of the quicksand first, and then slowly crawl towards the non-quicksand area, which is in our direction, in a swimming posture."
Following Britta's instructions, the survivor quickly pulled one of his legs out of the quicksand and half-lay on it.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing they would be out of trouble soon.
Just when the survivor was about to pull out his other leg, Nanxing suddenly noticed some black spots appearing right in front of them.
Like a human.
The man who appeared in the desert...
Nan Xing's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't alarm anyone else.
It’s finally my turn to write about Kodeng literature!!! Hahahahaha I’ve been wanting to write about Kodeng for a long time!
