"Xubai, don't be afraid, hold on to my hand."
Ji Heng supported himself on the sand beside him with one hand and held Xu Bai tightly with the other. His eyes were focused, and his gaze was fixed on Xu Bai's figure.
Xu Bai was half buried, and it was about to submerge her chest and neck...
She only felt two forces constantly pulling her, one from Ji Heng and the other from under the sand.
"Xubai, take care."
Ji Heng shouted and suddenly pulled Xu Bai up. Xu Bai felt a spin in front of her eyes and she was thrown to the ground. As soon as she looked up, she saw Ji Heng who was buried, and his hand quickly disappeared in front of her.
"No!"
Without even standing up, Xu Bai hurriedly staggered with his back bent, running towards the direction where Ji Heng disappeared. Touching the hard sand, Xu Bai felt a panic in his heart, accompanied by a faint pain.
"No, no, didn't you say I should hold your hand tightly? I held it tightly, how could you let me go?"
"How can that be?"
When Tong Yangnian returned with his men, he saw Xu Bai frantically slapping the ground in a panic, searching for something.
"Xu Bai, Ji Heng?"
Xu Bai raised his eyes and looked at Tong Yangnian fiercely, "Shut up, he will be fine."
"He's still waiting for me."
Tong Yangnian understood that Ji Heng had also fallen into the desert.
"Xu Bai, stop looking, we need to leave quickly."
Xu Bai stood up, looked at the other people's hopeful eyes, then looked down at the ground - the land where Ji Heng disappeared.
"You guys go first, just go straight, I'll wait for a while, and then I'll leave."
"Go catch up with you."
"thread……"
"He's just like that guy, only a few minutes away. He'll definitely show up again. You guys leave first."
Xu Bai distributed some dry food from the space to Tong Yangnian and asked him to leave first.
Tong Yangnian was worried about Xu Bai being here alone, but at Xu Bai's insistence, he had to leave first.
Xu Bai waited for a long time and patted the ground for a long time, but still couldn't find the hole that would suck people away.
Xu Bai had no choice but to give up and leave and follow Tong Yangnian and others.
Seeing the figures of Tong Yangnian and others, Xu Bai just shouted and started falling down. Tong Yangnian just turned around and saw Xu Bai's disappearing figure.
"Xu Bai!"
…
The whole person seemed to be pulled by a magical force.
But I can't feel the source of this power.
Xu Bai fell heavily to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped the blood, and when she looked up, she saw several people holding iron rakes, looking at her with full vigilance.
"Why are there so many people falling down today? It's so annoying."
"Hey, woman, what's your name and how did you fall?"
The person who spoke was a big, dark-skinned man with a full beard whose features could not be clearly seen.
"You just said a lot of people fell down. Where are they now?"
The big man's face tightened, his expression serious but with a hint of pride in his words, "Of course I'm going to see our Oasis King."
king?
"Then take me with you to see him."
The big man looked at Xu Bai in disbelief. "Take him away. We can't let outsiders invade our home. You, you, you, you, leave some people here to guard. If you find any new outsiders, notify me immediately."
The big man's surname is Zhong, and people call him Brother Zhong.
Brother Zhong wanted to tie Xu Bai up, but was rejected by Xu Bai. He stared at Xu Bai, looked into Xu Bai's eyes, and agreed to Xu Bai's request for some unknown reason.
"Let me warn you first. Don't try to do anything tricky, or you'll die a miserable death."
"Where is this place? How did you end up under the desert?" Xu Bai did not respond, but instead asked Brother Zhong for information.
"Did you come here after the apocalypse?"
Brother Zhong was silent all the way, as if he was thinking about something. Perhaps he had made up his mind. He looked at Xu Bai and asked, "What's the situation outside now?"
"We were building a railway with the workers and encountered danger and fell. I want to ask, among all the people who fell, have you seen a handsome man who is 1.82 meters tall?"
"They're building a railway. Is there no danger outside?"
Xu Bai was silent, took a deep breath, and then explained to him in detail the current situation outside. After listening, Brother Zhong told her about the situation in their oasis.
They were also swept into the desert by the tornado. They searched for a way out for a long time, but were accidentally swept back into the desert.
After coming in, they found a spring of drinkable water. The spring pool was surrounded by green leaves, as if they had suddenly arrived at an oasis. Since they couldn't find a way out, they simply built a base here.
Except for Xu Bai and his group, the rest of the people will suddenly fall down.
"What about your food in the past?"
"We use the spring water to irrigate the crops, so we can grow them. We didn't expect that we couldn't grow anything up there. We went through life starving, and now we're happy to have something to eat."
Brother Zhong appears to be a serious person, but he actually likes to chat.
I wish I could tell Xu Bai about the benefits of their oasis.
"By the way, have you ever had a child?"
Xu Bai was puzzled, but still shook his head.
"It would be great if you had given birth before. Then you would be very popular in our oasis." Seeing that Xu Bai only asked him some basic information about the base and the whereabouts of those who fell down, Brother Zhong had a good impression of Xu Bai and mentioned the matter of the surrogate mother.
Xu Bai: “?”
Xu Bai suddenly remembered a base before the apocalypse that many women raved about. Women were respected in this base. More precisely, mothers who had given birth or were pregnant were respected. The base's resources were prioritized for expectant mothers. After giving birth, they would help them recuperate and then go on to have another child...
When the surrogate mother fails to conceive, she can be promoted to a surrogate mother teacher and pass on her experience to other people who are trying to get pregnant.
In previous lives, many women wanted to go here, where they would have no worries about food and drink, and every day they only needed to think about how to keep their bodies healthy for ten months of pregnancy and give birth to a baby.
But for this base, no one is very clear about the distance and location.
"You can go get a physical checkup later. If you're okay, your future life will be much easier."
Brother Zhong smiled and told Xu Bai about the treatment of a surrogate mother, and his eyes occasionally revealed his envy of the profession of surrogate mother.
Xu Bai was absolutely certain that she had come to the legendary base from her previous life.
When passing by the hospital, Xu Bai looked and saw some disappointed women walking out of the hospital.
"What will happen to those who are found not to be pregnant?"
