"Oh no, oh no, we've encountered a pack of wolves! My house is now surrounded by wolves!"
"Damn it, haven't we encountered wolves enough already?"
"There are over 100 of them. If they all swarm me, how can I possibly handle them?"
A player's comment on the regional channel caught Jiang An's attention.
The temperature difference between day and night is large in the desert; it is hot during the day but relatively cool at night.
Many animals that live in the desert have developed a nocturnal habit. They sleep in the shade during the day and hunt at night.
Jiang An wasn't worried about safety at night because her residence was underground and protected by a light shield.
But it's a different story on the ground; you might encounter animals, and there might be solar panels on the ground.
If the solar panels are damaged, it will cause a big problem. If they cannot generate electricity, then in this hot weather, the only way to supply the energy needs of the entire dugout is to use resources such as diesel and coal.
That would consume enormous resources, and even someone as wealthy as Jiang An would feel the pinch.
Thinking about this, Jiang An frowned. She began to consider how to deal with the situation. Suddenly, she remembered her little Zhi.
"Xiao Zhi, can you detect that part on the ground?" Jiang An asked.
"Master, no, there's no radar system!" Ash replied.
Hearing this answer, Jiang An was somewhat disappointed. It seems that Xiao Zhi still needs an upgrade to become more feature-rich.
"Did you detect the sabotage attack on the solar panels in time? Does the solar panel cover the area of the photomask?" Jiang An then asked another question she had been overlooking.
After all, this was her first time in the desert, and so much had changed, so she couldn't guarantee it would be the same as before.
[Master, the solar panel is still part of the dugout; it can automatically activate in the event of an attack!]
"That's good!" Hearing Xiao Zhi's reply, Jiang An finally felt relieved.
She then turned her attention back to the regional channel, but by then the channel had exploded with complaints from many players who said they had been attacked by various animals.
"Everyone be careful, it's not safe down there either. I encountered a group of desert lizards that crawled in from underground, and I just drove them away!" a player said in a panic.
"Damn it, why are desert animals stronger than sea animals?!" another player complained.
"I also encountered a gerbil!" the third player chimed in.
However, not everyone was attacked; some lucky individuals reported that they encountered no danger.
However, as more and more people reported being attacked, the entire channel became extremely chaotic and tense.
Just then, Jiang An suddenly felt a strong vibration coming from above, as if countless hooves were trampling the ground.
She immediately realized that a large herd of animals was approaching, and that this night was destined to be anything but peaceful...
The next second, the light shield silently opened, and Jiang An knew they had encountered a solar panel.
Outside the light barrier, a pack of desert wolves surged toward Jiang An's location like a tidal wave, emitting low howls.
Their sharp claws carved deep marks into the hard sandy ground, their eyes revealing an undisguised hunger and murderous intent.
Clearly, these desert wolves are waging a brutal hunt, and their target is a huge elephant not far away.
At that moment, Jiang An was witnessing all of this through the window.
Just now, Xiao Zhi's voice suddenly rang out: "Master, the solar panel has been attacked and the shield has automatically activated. Do you want to open the ground passage to check the situation outside?"
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Anxin was overjoyed, because she had been troubled by how to observe the ground conditions, and she did not expect that Xiao Zhi would take the initiative to offer a solution.
So, without hesitation, she answered, "Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hole large enough for one person to pass through quietly appeared above his head in the corner of the bedroom.
Thanks to the protection of the light shield, Jiang An had no need to worry about being attacked suddenly.
She looked around by the moonlight, but when she saw what was in front of her, she was startled.
Jiang An hadn't expected that while she had dealt with a pack of desert wolves at the oasis during the day, another, larger and more powerful pack of wolves still lingered there.
Jiang An gripped the weapon tightly, his heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of his throat.
