Chapter 1144 The City Where the Sun Never Sets 14
The water disappeared in an instant?
Fu Anan didn't believe it at first. After all, she had just taken a nap. But in the span of noon, the water source disappeared. Not only her, but most people didn't believe the news.
So they went to see it for themselves.
This is the source of water in the Gobi Desert.
The locals who were originally guarding this place are gone, but the entrance to the water source is even more crowded than before.
Fu Anan was skeptical just now, but after seeing the current situation, she was already 90% certain. She still insisted on going inside because she was curious about what it would be like inside.
The road from the cave entrance to the pool was crowded with people.
The corridor was stuffy and hot. The cacophony of voices, echoing off the walls, echoed from the surrounding walls. It felt like being dropped into a chicken coop, thousands of chickens clucking at once.
In the pool
The originally clear water source has now turned into mud.
The outer part of the mud had begun to dry up, but the center was still a thin, mushy mess. It resembled chocolate syrup, and in some places, bubbles were forming. Many people went down barefoot, digging deeper and deeper in an attempt to find water. Some people simply collected the mud and used clothing as a filter, trying to squeeze out the water.
As they worked, finer particles of sand and soil were squeezed out. Some collected the turbid liquid, while others put their mouths directly under the cloth and drank the wrung-out water.
There really is no water!
News travels fast in the Gobi Desert. What's the most important thing in the desert? Water!
The water disappeared so suddenly that people began to panic.
No, not suddenly.
There were signs from the beginning that food and water prices were rising.
The locals manage the water sources and must have been the first to know about the situation, so they stockpiled large quantities of water and food. Players don't have to worry about this, as they stockpiled food even earlier than the natives. The most troublesome are the camel caravans that originally wanted to do business.
The goods were sold, the money was earned, but the supplies were gone. The nearest Gobi Desert was at least six days away by camel.
At this time, the market is crowded with buyers and few with sellers. Yesterday, prices were skyrocketing, and today, water is hard to come by.
On the way back, Fu Anan found that some camel caravans had already led out the camels, with the goods they were transporting placed on them, and were ready to leave.
Fu Anan followed the camel caravan all the way to the exit of the Gobi Desert. She didn't intend to leave with them, but stood on higher ground and looked into the distance.
She was looking at Fu Yizhi.
It was the fifth day of the game, and she didn't know when he would arrive. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the camel brother in the female boss's camel circle.
That cold look and that unruly temperament can be forced to be 70% similar to Fu Yizhi.
Fu Anan returned to the hotel and, for Fu Yizhi's sake, for the first time ever, gave Camel Brother a piece of raw cassava root and a small bowl of water.
She reached out and patted the camel's head, saying hopefully, "Brother Fu, please come earlier."
Camel Brother: ...Baji, baji, baji.
Day 6 of the game
More camel caravans are preparing to leave the Gobi Desert.
The hostess's hotel was almost empty, except for the camel team that brought her supplies.
Because they are in the same group! Scar Camel Team is a real local.
The black-hearted female boss is indeed worthy of her reputation.
