The hydrogen gas exploded in mid-air with a bang when it came into contact with the tinderbox.
The blast injured the maned wolf that was trying to bite the white tiger, and the maned wolf was slammed against the stone wall by the impact of the fire.
Even Zhu Yanyan fell into a coma due to the fire, her body flying a few times before crashing into the stone wall.
After seeing that the maned wolf was seriously injured, Old Lady Zhu stepped on the sand and came to the white tiger's side.
The white tiger was severely injured and on the verge of death. It opened its eyes to look at Old Lady Zhu, then closed them again.
Then a white light appeared, and the huge white tiger, surrounded by the white light, instantly shrank into an injured little white cat.
Grandma Zhu turned around in surprise to look at her son and daughter-in-law behind her, bewildered and not knowing what to do.
[Great, the White Tiger is alright, although it has reverted to its initial form.]
Fortunately, it survived, and Xixi now has a pet to play with on the way.
When Xixi saw that Baihu was alright, she grinned happily, her eyes crinkling, not even noticing the tears welling up in her eyes, waving her little hands and babbling.
After hearing her granddaughter's suggestion, Grandma Zhu finally felt relieved and picked up the white tiger from the ground.
Zhu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment before jogging forward and taking the white tiger from Old Lady Zhu's hands.
At this moment, Chen Xiang and Wang Haocheng also arrived with their men. The situation had been too chaotic, and everyone had scattered.
When everyone gathered, they realized that the Zhu family and Pei Sining hadn't followed, so they went back to look for them.
"Grandma Zhu, are you alright?"
Wang Haocheng jogged over with his guards, and frowned curiously when he saw the white cat in Zhu Chenfeng's hand.
"Brother Zhu, where did this white cat come from?"
"Enough talk. Hurry up and meet up with the camels and the wagon before the maned wolf wakes up."
Chen Xiang noticed the maned wolf was making a move and waved his hand fearfully, urging everyone to leave.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhu quickly took her daughter-in-law and son's hands and followed Chen Xiang and Wang Haocheng toward the carriage.
Led by Wang Haocheng, the group found the lost carriage.
Zhu Chenfeng looked excitedly at the intact carriage and camel, then looked at Wang Haocheng in surprise.
"Manager Wang, where did these come from?"
"It's probably the storm that swept things here. Fortunately, the storm didn't carry any lightning, and it wasn't very powerful."
"Neither the camels nor the carriages were seriously damaged."
Wang Haocheng never expected to see his camels again, although there were no goods, but fortunately there were still means of transport.
Thinking about how the weather was getting hotter, he waved to the crowd and said, "Let's get moving and try to reach Hengyang Town by tonight."
Still in high spirits, everyone was urged by Wang Haocheng to carry their luggage onto the car and camels.
Fortunately, there were enough camels and carriages to carry people. After adding thick cushions under the hooves of the camels and horses, the caravan set off again.
No sooner had the Zhu family's procession left than an elderly couple leading camels appeared around the unconscious Zhu Yanyan.
The two saw that Zhu Yanyan was unconscious and injured, with a small maned wolf lying next to her.
After a heated discussion, the elderly couple decided to put Zhu Yanyan and the maned wolf on the camel.
Then, leading the camels, they set off towards the dock in Hengyang Town.
*
Despite the hot weather, everyone had a means of transportation and managed to enter Hengyang Town before dark.
Wang Haocheng excitedly pointed to the city gate covered in yellow sand and said loudly.
"Grandma Zhu, Lord Chen, Hengyang Town is just ahead."
[No way! The plot hasn't changed, so how did Hengyang Town become a zombie abode?]
This is troublesome; the zombies are tough to deal with! To escape the volcanic eruption by boat, we need to cross the town.
The soft, childlike voice entered Wang Haocheng's ears like a ghost, and his excitement one second turned into a frozen smile on his face the next.
What happened? How could he hear a child's voice?
He looked around blankly, trying to find the source of the sound, only to meet Xixi's gossipy little eyes.
Caught red-handed again, Xixi awkwardly turned her head slowly, clapping her hands and calling out "Aba aba".
What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such an adorable little mermaid?
This time, Wang Haocheng was completely convinced that he could hear a baby's voice, and it was Zhu Xixi's voice.
She just mentioned that there are zombies in Hengyang Town. What are zombies?
Chen Xiang noticed Wang Haocheng standing there in a daze and called out to him curiously, "Manager Wang, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just too excited. It feels like I've been through a lifetime."
Wang Haocheng dared not reveal that he could hear Zhu Xixi's voice. He smiled awkwardly and turned to look at Hengyang Town, whose city gates were tightly closed.
"Strange, why are the city gates closed in broad daylight? And we haven't seen any people leaving or entering the city."
Hearing Wang Haocheng's mutterings, Chen Xiang also looked curiously towards the city gate of Hengyang Town. Thinking of the various strange things he had encountered on the way, he immediately became vigilant.
"Manager Wang, why don't we send someone to check it out first? There must be something strange about keeping the city gates closed in broad daylight."
What's so interesting about it? It's just a bunch of rotting corpses biting people everywhere.
Be careful not to get bitten, or you'll end up like them.
Xi Xi trembled involuntarily as she thought of what those zombies looked like, and pursed her lips.
This time, everyone heard Xixi's ramblings, and they were originally relieved to be leaving the desert.
Now that they knew there were monsters ahead, they all swallowed hard in fear and looked towards Hengyang Town with trembling bodies.
Even Chen Xiang, who had planned to send someone to investigate, changed his mind and scratched his head with a half-smile.
"Manager Wang, why don't we find a place to rest first?"
Having also heard the talk about zombies, Wang Haocheng nodded repeatedly in agreement with Chen Xiang's suggestion and turned to look at the abandoned house not far away.
"There seems to be a dilapidated house up ahead. Why don't we go there and fix it up tonight?"
"Okay, let's go."
Chen Xiang didn't want to linger any longer, so he drove the carriage toward the abandoned house.
Seeing this, Wang Haocheng quickly urged his camel to follow closely behind, giving instructions to everyone as they went.
"Hurry up and keep up, don't fall behind."
When the group arrived at the abandoned house, it was already completely dark, and the weather was showing signs of turning cool.
Everyone quickly unloaded supplies from the carriages and camels, and in the midst of their busy work...
Grandma Zhu, carrying Xixi, entered the courtyard of the abandoned house first and came to the well to check the water source.
But when she looked down into the well, she found that it had already dried up.
Xixi noticed this too, and she grinned, waving her little hand as she threw water into the well.
Moments later, the previously dry well suddenly gushed water back up.
Seeing her mother-in-law standing in front of the well sighing, Liu went up to her curiously and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"This well is dry. We've already drunk all the water we brought from the ancient city. What should we do next?"
Grandma Zhu felt a headache coming on at the thought of not having water. Without water, she couldn't cook, let alone make rice porridge for Xixi.
Hearing this, Liu looked curiously at the well. After seeing the water in the well, she muttered in confusion, "Mother, there's water!"
