Li Changsi narrowed his slender eyes and glanced at his hand coldly.
Bai Zhuo released her boneless wrist, his eyes dimming slightly: "It's dangerous over there!"
Those six people didn't dare to enter the oasis even though they had the parchment book. Can Li Changsi go?
Li Changsi raised the satellite phone in his hand: "Just a call."
Everyone was confused. Aren't satellite phones incapable of contacting the outside world? Could it be possible to make calls here?
Bai Zhuo: "I'll go with you."
The desert night was completely silent. A night breeze whipped through the moonlight, stirring up fine sand. Li Changsi walked ahead. Looking at Bai Zhuo, who insisted on following, he lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Follow me. Don't wander off."
The male protagonist has the aura of the protagonist and cannot die, so Li Changsi lets him follow.
Bai Zhuo nodded, watching the night wind blow her sandproof scarf up, revealing a patch of snow-white skin on her chin. Her gaze darkened, "Li Changsi, what do you want?"
Didn't she want him before? Now, what did she want?
"There are no idiots in the world, right?" Li Changsi said perfunctorily. It would be best if the idiot male protagonist stayed away from her and didn't get involved in any master-servant relationship. Then she could still talk to him properly.
Bai Zhuo was stunned, then chuckled softly. She was truly no ordinary woman, still able to joke at this moment. Was Li Changsi truly not worried, or was she confident she could escape?
Bai Zhuo wanted to say something, but he felt yellow sand rising up in front of him. It was as if a thousand layers of huge waves were rising on the originally calm desert, blowing so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. His face suddenly changed.
Looking back, Song Xingyue and others were still standing there, and the six-member team was doing their own things indifferently. It seemed that no one noticed the strange wind and sand.
Bai Zhuo wanted to call Li Changsi, but she looked solemnly at the starry night sky, as if she was thinking about something. After a long time, she threw out a series of small stones. The white stones fell neatly on the yellow sand. The moonlight fell down, like a winding stone road leading to an oasis.
Strangely, the wind and waves just now disappeared. Bai Zhuo shook his swollen head, thinking it was probably an illusion caused by physical exhaustion.
"What are you doing?"
"Throw a wishing stone and your wish will come true." Li Changsi lied and stood on the edge of the desert and oasis. He stepped one foot into the barrier and saw that the mobile phone that had been silent just now started to beep non-stop.
The GPS locator on my body also lit up a red dot.
Bai Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at his watch. The hands began to move, and the magnetic field that had troubled them for two days disappeared!
Before Li Changsi had time to check his phone, a call came in.
"Li Changsi?" Lu Qi's calm voice came from the phone.
Li Changsi smiled slightly: "It's me, Mr. Lu, who made you worry."
There seemed to be a commotion on the line, and clear commands came one after another.
"GPS location has been determined."
"The signal is normal."
"Sending target location to rescue forces."
The noise soon died down, and Lu Qi's deep voice came: "You have been out of contact for a day and a night. Rescue personnel will go directly to the GPS location."
Li Changsi said succinctly: "We are in a chaotic magnetic field area. Helicopters cannot enter."
"I know the rescue team will arrive on foot. We've invited historians and archaeologists who have studied Gaochang's history for many years. They have the coordinates of the location where you lost contact a day ago. It's like having a beacon. If you hold on for a day, you'll be rescued."
The program crew suddenly lost contact during a live broadcast in the desert, and tens of millions of fans prayed online. This incident also alarmed the higher-ups. Lu Qi was the first person to send a rescue team into the desert, and he is now in the highest-level command center, providing satellite technical support.
After Li Changsi's satellite phone was detected, a small red dot immediately lit up in the deserted desert.
"Mr. Lu, please tell me if all the guests are okay? Are there any casualties?"
Li Changsi: "No casualties, but it's hard to say what will happen after daybreak. We're most likely at an ancient site from the Gaochang Kingdom. There are giant Buddha statues and ancient grottoes on the oasis, but we can't enter it right now. The six spies will probably use the crew to explore the way after daybreak. You better move quickly."
In the command center, everyone listened to Li Changsi's clear and crisp voice. They could understand every word, but they couldn't understand what he said together.
Ruins of the ancient Gaochang Kingdom? Colossal Buddha statues? Grottoes? Can't access the oasis? Explore the area?
sky! ! !
There are ancient ruins in the desert. No wonder Mr. Lu invited archaeologists and historians into the desert. But what does it mean to be unable to enter the oasis? What path are they exploring? Are their comprehension abilities really that poor?
Lu Qi understood in a second: "The satellite phone was left where it was."
Li Changsi curled her red lips. It was easy to talk to smart people. She could indeed enter the oasis by herself, but she couldn't save so many guests, nor could she anger the six spies. The purpose of her trip was to throw the satellite phone into the oasis, keep in touch with the outside world, and wait for rescue.
She came to participate in the variety show, not to fight with criminals.
"Li Changsi, be careful."
Li Changsi said nonchalantly, "I see. You're so nagging."
Just like her master! She was always worried that she would be bullied. Who in this world could bully her? She had never been a kind person.
There was a gasp from the command center. She actually disliked Mr. Lu's nagging. Mr. Lu was notoriously difficult to invite. These people must have been very lucky to be able to invite this big Buddha.
Lu Qi raised his thin lips slightly and hung up the phone.
Li Changsi buried her phone in the sand at the edge of the oasis. Turning around, she saw Bai Zhuo looking at her with a complicated expression. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "Let's go back."
Bai Zhuo grabbed her wrist and asked gloomily, "Who did you call just now?"
Is Mr. Lu the owner of the Bishuijiangting Mountaintop Manor? Bai Zhuo subconsciously objected. Impossible. His brother had said that Mr. Lu was in poor health, averse to women, and spent years recuperating on the mountaintop. Few outsiders saw him. How could he be related to Li Changsi? They must share the same surname.
Li Changsi's eyes turned cold.
Bai Zhuo's eyes blurred, and he saw her breaking free like a loach and walking towards the tent.
Bai Zhuo was stunned and caught up with her. Under the night sky, the white pebbles were covered by yellow sand, the moonlight faded, the invisible stone road disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
As soon as Li Changsi and Bai Zhuo came back, everyone gathered around them.
Tian Ye: "Changsi, did you get through?"
Li Changsi nodded at everyone: "We've made contact. Help will arrive in another day."
Everyone cheered in low voices.
Xuan Yiyi asked delicately, "Brother Zhuo, are you from the Bai family?"
Bai Zhuo's expression was gloomy. His attention was focused on Li Changsi just now. He actually forgot to call home. What a mistake!
Now that the satellite phone has been left in the oasis by Li Changsi, we can only rely on Li Changsi's rescue call.
"We've been out of contact for a day and a night, and it's definitely trending now. It doesn't matter whose family it is, what matters is that our rescue team is arriving." Tian Ye laughed excitedly, saying, "After escaping death this time, I'm going to go back and eat a lot for three days and three nights. Roast duck, steak, foie gras, braised pork..."
"Can you please stop naming the dishes? I'm getting hungrier the more I say..."
Tian Ye was beaten up by Lin Lushen and Meng Xun, and lay in the sand pretending to be dead.
Rong Shu handed Li Changsi a bottle of water and asked in a low voice: "Are you tired? I have a bag of beef here. You haven't eaten anything all day."
Li Changsi shook his head, took a sip of water, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Everyone, let's get some rest. Regain your energy."
There will be another fierce battle tomorrow. I just hope that the yellow sand will roll back as late as possible, otherwise these people will lose their usefulness and will have no way out but death.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the rescue team was on the way. After enduring a whole day and night, they were all a little exhausted and crawled into the tents to rest.
Li Changsi deduced the astrolabe and threw stones to ask for directions at night. He was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he entered the tent.
The yellow sand beneath her body had turned from being hot and scorching during the day to being cold and hard. Her dreams were filled with bizarre scenes. She groped for the scented tablets from her backpack in a daze, pressed them under her pillow, and smelled the fresh scent of the first snow after the sandalwood dissipated. Only then did she sleep more peacefully in the second half of the night.
The next morning, the six-member team sent Zhao Ming to knock on the tent and wake everyone up.
Zhao Ming shrank his neck and said, "Those bastards let us into the oasis."
The six-member team was reluctant to enter the oasis, so they urged the program crew to go in early this morning. In addition, with Li Changsi's alarmist remarks yesterday, who would dare to go in now?
They really wanted to get rich overnight, but if they lost their lives, all that money would be useless. The production crew all retreated to the back, and Zhao Ming came to question the guests.
Sure enough, what is meant to come will come.
Tian Ye cursed, "Damn, there really is something wrong with that oasis. Luckily we didn't go in yesterday."
Meng Xun: "Isn't it obvious that they're letting us explore the way while they hide behind and reap the benefits?"
Song Xingyue: "What should we do now?"
Everyone looked at each other. They could act, they could play the piano, they could spend money, but they couldn't go on an adventure to find treasure. What was going on?
Li Changsi glanced at Zhao Ming and said, "Go tell them we can enter, but we have to broadcast it live so the world can see this ancient ruins. Otherwise, they will kill us all. No one can enter the oasis."
Zhao Ming shrank his neck: "Then I'll go negotiate?"
"Don't come back if you can't reach an agreement."
Zhao Ming ran away.
Bai Zhuo narrowed his eyes: "Are you trying to stall for time?"
Li Changsi nodded. "These people have limited patience. They know we were live streaming before, and now that we've lost contact, someone will definitely come to rescue us. They'll make a quick decision. I'll go in first, and you guys just wait outside. If something goes wrong, run away. Their target is the treasure, so they won't chase us. You'll be safe once the rescue team arrives."
Rong Shu: "Let me accompany you. We fought side by side in the southwest village."
Lin Lushen: "Brother Rong, I'll go with my sister. My sister and I are old partners and we work well together."
Lin Lushen smiled at Li Changsi with a pair of small fangs and held her hand tightly. She only trusted her sister. If something happened to Li Changsi, she might not be able to get out of the desert. It would be better for her to go with Li Changsi.
Rong Shu is the only son in the family and a talented pianist of classical music, so it’s better not to go.
Li Changsi glanced at the others and saw that no one spoke. A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his lips. "Xiaolu, we'll go first. I'll explore the way and you can broadcast live."
Lin Lushen's teeth chattered as he nodded vigorously: "Okay."
For the first time, Bai Zhuo felt a surge of frustration, his handsome face gloomy. "No need to say anything, I'll go with Changsi. Xiaolu, you stay."
Xuan Yiyi didn't want him to go and muttered, "Why should we go? Zhao Ming should go. He's the director and the entire production team listens to him. If he doesn't go at this crucial moment, who will? Brother Zhuo, don't go."
Song Xingyue hesitated and said, "I'll go with Brother Zhuo."
She didn't want Bai Zhuo to go either, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. After all, someone had to go, and Li Changsi was the one who had to shoulder the responsibility. But along the way, she wasn't stupid. Bai Zhuo's feelings towards Li Changsi were gradually changing, and he even had a liking for her and appreciated her. This time, they were going through thick and thin together again, and then there would be nothing for her to do.
Bai Zhuo: "Stop talking. I'm a man. I can't let two girls go. You stay where you are. Rongshu, take good care of them. If anything happens, just do as Changsi said. Take food and water and run. The rescue team should be nearby. We'll definitely be found after hiding for two or three days."
He went there for selfish reasons. Li Changsi had always been prejudiced against him. It was a big gamble, a bet that he would be lucky and that they would not die.
That’s settled.
Zhao Ming came back soon: "They agreed, and only gave us a live broadcast device. They let you enter the Oasis now."
Zhao Ming gave the live broadcast phone and camera to Li Changsi.
The magnetic field here is chaotic, and there is no way to broadcast live!
Li Changsi gave the live broadcast equipment to Lin Lushen. The three of them filled their backpacks with water and food and prepared to enter the oasis.
The leading man, woman and guide came over with wooden warehouses. They were too lazy to even pretend and forced everyone into the oasis.
When the foreign man saw that it was Li Changsi who went, he felt a little regretful. It was a pity to see such a beautiful oriental woman die. However, they did not have time to wait for the yellow sand to roll back. They had to use these people to fill the road. None of the remaining people could escape and would all die.
"You guys, hurry up." The leading woman scolded, "Don't try any tricks. Otherwise, I'll destroy you."
Li Changsi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "You will move the same way I move later. Be careful not to move more than three steps away from me."
Lin Lushen nodded.
Bai Zhuo looked deep in his eyes and said nothing.
The three of them walked towards the border between the desert and the oasis. The guide followed behind them and began to take notes.
When Li Changsi and others were broadcasting live in the desert, the screen of the live broadcast room went black and then they lost contact for a day and a night, causing an uproar in the outside world.
#The entire crew of Wilderness Survival has lost contact#, #Li Changsi is missing#, #Bai Zhuo is missing#, #Have the Wilderness Survival guests been found today#
The topic was discussed on Weibo with over 1 billion views, shocking everyone.
Fans of each show were waiting in the live broadcast room as if it was the end of the world, praying that the room would return to normal in the next second and the guests would reappear in the room.
However, a day and a night passed, the rescue team became a hot topic, and began to report on their progress and comfort tens of millions of fans, but the guests still did not move.
Early in the morning, fans from all over flocked to the super topic to check the latest developments.
——Sisters, no news is the best news. Good people will be rewarded, and the girl will be fine.
——The rescue team has already gone deep into the desert. The guests all brought GPS locators, so they will be fine. Maybe it’s just that the communication equipment is broken and they can’t be contacted for the time being.
——Woo woo woo, pray.
——Oh my god, sisters, there seemed to be a picture in my live broadcast room, but it flashed for a moment and then the screen went black again.
——My live broadcast room also flashed for a moment just now, and I thought I was dazzled.
——Whose live broadcast room is this? Is it the live broadcast room of the female goose?
——There’s a picture, oh my god! ! ! !
The super topic exploded, and then fans rushed into Li Changsi's live broadcast room, only to see the screen in the live broadcast room constantly flashing, it was really flashing, and after flashing for a minute, the picture finally appeared.
Lin Lushen's cute little face appeared in the live broadcast room. He smiled at his fans and waved, "Hello everyone, I'm Lin Lushen. I've been out of touch for a day and a night. I'm sorry to have made you worry. The person in front of me is Sister Si, and the one behind me is Brother Zhuo. Everyone is doing well."
Lin Lushen pointed the camera at Li Changsi's profile, and then at Bai Zhuo behind him.
The comments in the live broadcast room went crazy, and at the same time, the trending searches also exploded. #李长思的直播室# rushed to the top of the trending searches.
Lin Lu took a deep breath, then turned the camera to other guests not far away, the program staff, including the six spies.
The fans were still immersed in the joy of the guests' safety, and then some sharp-eyed people noticed something was wrong.
What the hell is this production crew doing? Where are the people? Why are the guests doing the livestream themselves, without a single PD following them?
——What are the people from the program crew doing so far away? What are the girls going to do?
Why do I feel like everyone's expressions are so solemn? Xiaolu's face is pale, and Zhuo Ge's expression is also not right.
——Fuck, what’s going on? The camera just flashed by. Was I dazzled? Why does the person behind me have a wooden barrel in his hand?
——I saw it too, it was those six hikers, damn, they really had weapons in their hands!
——So it was these bastards who kidnapped the guests and forced them to go to some dangerous place?
——No wonder Xiaolu’s voice was shaking. What a stupid production crew! There were so many men in the crew, but except Bai Zhuo, no one stood up and let the female guest die? !!!
——I’m so mad!!!
The barrage of comments exploded again, and netizens who were quick took screenshots and posted them directly online.
#Li Changsi and three others were held hostage#, #How cowardly and outrageous is the stupid program crew#, #Hikers kidnapped the entire program crew#…
The related topic became a hot search again, immediately attracting attention from all walks of life, including the command center responsible for the rescue.
The person in charge of the command center was ecstatic. They had been up for a whole day and night and had not dared to close their eyes. The guests of this wilderness survival variety show collectively lost contact in the desert, which attracted attention from all walks of life. They were directly ordered from above to be responsible for this rescue and were given the highest authority to mobilize personnel and resources from all over the place.
The eight missing guests all have extraordinary identities. Even Mr. Lu was alarmed. Who would dare to be careless?
The rescue operation was originally at a standstill, but the guest who disappeared last night took the initiative to appear in a non-magnetic field area and contacted them. He even started a live broadcast early this morning, exposing the six spies to the sun.
The person in charge cried bitterly with gratitude, this year's guests were really outstanding.
"Quick, immediately limit the platform's traffic to ensure the live broadcast room does not freeze and the picture is cut to the big screen."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Lu took a deep breath in the live broadcast room, steadied the camera, and continued, "Sister Si said she wanted the world to see the ancient ruins buried in the yellow sand, so we started a live broadcast to take everyone to see it."
The fans in the live broadcast room exclaimed "What the hell!" and saw that the camera had already turned to an oasis not far away. The oasis was lush with water and grass, and the poplar forest was golden and brilliant. A giant Buddha statue that had stood for thousands of years appeared in the center of the oasis. The screen was full of the towering stone statue, and the broken ancient ruins under the stone statue that had been eroded by wind and sand over the years.
The fans were breathtaking. It was so beautiful and so stunning.
"This should be an ancient relic left behind by the King of Gaochang. It should contain the civilization of the Gaochang era." Lin Lushen paused, swallowed nervously, and tilted his head to say to Li Changsi, "Sister, do you have anything to say?"
They were about to enter the oasis, and they didn't know what they would encounter. It felt like they were saying their last words.
Li Changsi glanced at the camera, his ebony eyes narrow and deep like the ocean, his voice slightly hoarse: "Don't worry."
It seemed like he was talking to fans, but also like he was talking to Lin Lushen and others. These three simple words were full of power.
--precious! ! ! !
——Sister, you must come back safely, woooo, we don’t have to see the ancient ruins, as long as you are safe.
—Kidnapped, still dreaming of showing the ancient ruins to the world at the entrance of a wooden warehouse, Li Changsi! You deserve all the good things!
——I really cried my heart out.
The fans in the live broadcast room cried out "Wow" and the entire barrage of comments were filled with prayers.
"No dawdling, hurry into the oasis!" shouted the leader, who was wearing a sand-proof scarf.
"Let's go." Li Changsi's eyes were slightly cold as he looked towards the border line where he stepped out of the desert and into the oasis.
Li Changsi walked very slowly, stopping every three steps and waiting for the guide behind her to record her position before she changed her position. The short distance of less than 50 meters from the deserted island to the oasis took her nearly 10 minutes to walk.
Lin Lushen and Bai Zhuo followed closely behind her, following in her footsteps, not daring to breathe, feeling that every step was a brush with death. By the time they got to the back, they were already numb and instinctively believed in Li Changsi.
The fans in the live broadcast room also held their breath, completely unaware of what was happening, but the guests were approaching the oasis and the ancient ruins.
Seeing that Li Changsi and the other two walked as if they were in an empty place, stopping and starting along the way, and had walked most of the way unimpeded, and were about to enter the oasis, the six-member team were all shocked.
The parchment book clearly states that one can only enter the oasis when the yellow sand rolls back. That group of tourists died on the outskirts of the oasis. Only the camel herders, who could not bear the blowing of the yellow sand, accidentally entered the oasis.
How on earth did they get in there?
The six people's faces were gloomy. Could it be that after so many years, the terrain here has changed again?
At this moment, a sandstorm suddenly rolled up in the sky, and countless yellow sands rushed back. From a distance, it looked like yellow sands were rolling back!
"The sand is rolling back! The sand is rolling back!" the guide cried out with a frantic joy. "It's time! It's time!"
No wonder those three people were able to walk in unimpeded.
Li Changsi looked at the sandstorm that suddenly arose in the desert, and sensed the drastic change in the surrounding aura environment, and his face changed suddenly.
