After resting there for a night, they set out at dawn to leave the desert along the same route.
Fu Yueli couldn't understand why Xu Ziling and Shi Mingyue were talking about people who weren't from this time and space. In his opinion, Shi Mingyue was the same Shi Mingyue he knew. Why did she say that there was another Shi Mingyue in Xinzhou? He slowed down his pace, keeping the same pace as Shi Mingyue.
Shi Mingyue realized that he must be saying something to her as soon as he slowed down his pace.
"I still don't understand what you said yesterday. You said you were Shi Mingyue, but at the same time there was another Shi Mingyue in Xinzhou. What does that mean?" he couldn't help but ask.
Shi Mingyue hesitated for a long while before sighing and saying, "Besides the time and space we are in now, there are many other time and space. In those time and space, there is the same you and the same me. The only difference is time. In this time and space, you have grown up, but in another time and space, you may still be just a child. So, I am a person from another time and space. When we first met, you asked me why I knew you. That's because in my time and space, Fu Yueli was my husband."
Fu Yueli stopped in his tracks. He was completely shocked by Shi Mingyue's words. In that time and space, was he her husband?
Lu Lingyan also stopped. He was no less shocked than Fu Yueli.
"This is a parallel universe, but it's not exactly the same," Xu Ziling explained.
Continuing their journey, night fell again, and the weather became unusual. The desert temperature plummeted, and a fierce wind whipped up sand, howling outside the tent. Shi Mingyue and Xu Ziling huddled together in a tent, which was tossed about by the wind, as if it were about to be uprooted. She felt a little frightened, but Xu Ziling, on the other hand, remained calm, lying there peacefully with his eyes closed.
The sound of the wind outside was like the howling of ghosts and wolves. I didn't know how long it would take for it to stop. It was so noisy that I couldn't sleep.
The tent moved more and more violently, blowing wind and sand into the side. Shi Mingyue suddenly sat up alert. Xu Ziling opened his eyes at her movement and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"The wind is blowing into the tent, and I'm afraid it will damage it." Shi Mingyue's brows were full of worry.
Xu Ziling said indifferently, "It's broken if it's broken."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire tent was blown by the wind, all the fixed positions loosened, and more and more wind and sand poured in from the gaps.
Xu Ziling pulled Shi Mingyue and said, "Lie down."
As soon as she lay down, the tent was completely blown away by the wind.
The sand was flying straight towards her face, and Shi Mingyue couldn't even open her eyes. But at this moment, she felt someone grabbing her wrist, "Follow me!" The voice was not drowned out by the violent wind, but was extremely clear.
It was him! She couldn't open her eyes and could only follow the other person's movements. It wasn't until she entered a place that was isolated from the wind and sand that she could open her eyes. Although it was pitch black, she knew that it was Fu Yueli who brought her to their tent.
"Go in!" Lu Lingyan's urging voice came from the side.
Probably because Xu Ziling came in, Lu Lingyan came in afterwards and sealed the door of the tent, so that no wind or sand could enter the tent anymore.
"I hope our tent won't be damaged by the wind." Lu Lingyan found a spot in the corner and lay down, still a little worried.
Fu Yueli said in a bad tone: "You were the one who pitched their tent this afternoon, right?"
Lu Lingyan could tell he was blaming himself, but it was true. Fu Yueli's tent was fine, but his had been blown away by the wind. He gave a dry laugh and said, "Haha, really? Now let's not dwell on it. Let's go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow." And he wasn't completely ruining the situation. Shi Mingyue wasn't in the tent right now, so his cousin could just cultivate a relationship with her.
Fu Yueli was too lazy to argue with him anymore and said to Shi Mingyue apologetically, "I'm sorry for scaring you."
Shi Mingyue shook her head: "It's okay, I just didn't expect the desert wind to be so strong."
"Well, let's take a rest." Fu Yueli consciously placed a helmet between the two of them.
Although the wind was blowing hard outside that night, it was very quiet inside the tent.
Daybreak arrived and the wind died down, but when the four of them stepped out of the tent, they were completely stunned.
The camels and their loads were all gone. It must have been the sandstorm last night, and the camels had gone looking for shelter.
It would take almost a day to get out of the desert from here. If we had food and camels, it wouldn't be difficult. But now we have nothing. It would be difficult to leave the desert on foot, enduring hunger and thirst.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's go." Lu Lingyan took a few steps and turned back to say to the three people.
Xu Ziling touched the box he was carrying and walked forward. Shi Mingyue and Fu Yueli also walked forward.
Without food, it was bearable. But without water, the dryness and thirst were truly unbearable. Shi Mingyue's physical strength was not good to begin with, and after walking for a whole morning, her legs were sore and painful, not to mention the unbearable thirst.
The other three kept walking forward without stopping. She couldn't say she was tired and wanted to rest, and if she stopped, it would be even harder to get up again.
In the afternoon, at its peak, the sun scorched the desert, bringing the temperature to a feverish climax. Unable to bear the heat, Lu Lingyan asked Xu Ziling, "Hey, is your core still radiating to us?"
"No, it has been placed in a special box that can shield radiation." Xu Ziling explained.
Lu Lingyan quickly took off his silver clothes, and the others also took off their clothes. Lu Lingyan held the clothes in his hands and said disdainfully: "Can this be thrown away?"
"It's up to you. Clothes made of metal fiber are quite expensive. One piece is worth a thousand gold coins." Xu Ziling folded the clothes and tied them around his body with a belt to secure them.
The others did the same and continued on their way.
Shi Mingyue felt stars in her eyes and her lips were completely cracked. Her mouth was not moist but dry because the air was dry and the air she breathed in her nasal cavity was also dry.
She even had hallucinations, as if she saw a clear lake in front of her. She wanted to drink water, but her feet seemed to be unable to move. After stumbling a few steps, she fell down, her consciousness blurred.
She felt as if someone had lifted her up and let her lie in his arms. She really wanted to fall into a deep sleep, but she heard someone calling her name anxiously: "Mingyue! Mingyue! Wake up! You can't sleep!"
It felt like a moist liquid had dripped onto her lips. Was it water? She felt more and more warm liquid pouring into her mouth, and it tasted sweet. At the same time, the voice calling her name became clearer and clearer, "Mingyue, wake up!"
