The large two characters on the city gate puzzled Fang Qingdai, but she still managed to connect the text with Jing Yi's team.
Fang Qingdai guessed that Jing Yi's team members might have been here, but also felt it was not suitable, so they went to the second backup location they had chosen instead.
But guessing was useless. Fang Qingdai searched along the base of the broken city wall for a while, but found no other useful information, so she gave up.
Go back and tell Jingyi; he should understand.
Fang Qingdai picked up the dune buggy and started her return journey. On the way, she kept thinking that she needed to go to the base to purchase some fuel for the dune buggy as a backup.
As I was thinking, I suddenly caught a glimpse of green out of the corner of my eye!
Fang Qingdai slammed on the brakes and stopped abruptly, staring blankly at the scene not far away, her face full of shock!
What is that? A mirage? Or an oasis in the desert?
The vast expanse of green stands out against the boundless yellow sea of sand. Due to the high elevation, Fang Qingdai can also see the center point surrounded by greenery, where there is a shimmering pool of water!
How is that possible?! This is a desert region where water is extremely scarce!
The Xuanwu Base spent countless people digging an extremely deep underground water well, but even so, water-type ability users had to work desperately just to barely guarantee the base's water supply!
If that water source wasn't a mirage, why didn't the Xuanwu base send people to occupy it?
Even if there are mutated plants, they can always be cleared out, right?
Out of sheer curiosity, Fang Qingdai decided to go and investigate.
She has a spatial shelter, so she needs to be a bit braver.
Out of caution, Fang Qingdai stopped the car a hundred meters away from the oasis, and then entered the space with the car.
Driven by the space, it slowly drew closer, and the closer it got, the more shocked Fang Qingdai became.
It truly was an oasis! She could even see the water droplets on the green plants and hear the chirping of insects deep in the forest!
Just as they were about to enter the oasis, Fang Qingdai suddenly heard a rustling sound.
She held her position, carefully maneuvering the space around her, and after a long while, she spotted three figures behind the sand dune!
"Are we really going to go in? This is the burial ground of immortals. Even the Xuanwu Base couldn't take it down after sending 80% of its forces. There's no way we'll come out alive!"
A burial ground for immortals?!
Fang Qingdai finally connected the information about this oasis in her mind, and felt a sense of realization!
Xuanwu Base doesn't not want to take this place; it simply lacks the capability!
I've heard that there's an extremely powerful beast in the Immortal Burial Grounds, capable of even swatting down a sand warship sent by the base with a single claw!
That strange beast was impervious to swords and spears and could breathe fire. The Xuanwu Base deployed 80% of its forces and besieged it for a full half month, but failed to advance even a fraction of an inch!
Rumors are just rumors, and Fang Qingdai still had doubts in her heart. She silently noted down the name of the Immortal Burial Oasis, planning to go back and inquire about it, and then come back to explore it again next time.
The truth is, with three more people suddenly appearing, she didn't want to risk staying any longer.
Not long after Jing Yi's incident, Fang Qingdai was genuinely worried that she might have inadvertently revealed something again!
Just as I was about to leave, I heard the three of them arguing again.
Oh no, to be precise, it's two people arguing, and one of them has fallen into a coma.
The tall man looked grim: "What can we do if we don't get in? Old Liu is extremely dehydrated; he'll die if we don't give him some water!"
"We promised the boss that we would take care of each other and reunite with everyone alive. I won't abandon Lao Liu!"
The shorter one also looked pained, but he remained cautious and hesitated before agreeing.
"If all else fails, you stay with Lao Liu while I go to the Xuanwu Base to buy medicine and water. I'll run there and try to get back as soon as possible!" In the end, the shorter man suggested through gritted teeth.
Fang Qingdai found it impossible!
It takes three or four hours to drive a sand vehicle from here to Xuanwu Base. If someone has to make the round trip, they'll be exhausted.
What's more, they can't run slowly; the person is waiting to be saved!
This had nothing to do with Fang Qingdai, and she continued to retreat, but suddenly a thought flashed through her mind!
etc!
These people...could they be Jing Yi's subordinates?
This place is not far from Linguan City, so it seems reasonable for the other party to appear here if they started from Linguan City.
Thinking of this, Fang Qingdai became somewhat excited!
She decided to test the waters; if he really was Jing Yi's man, it would save her a lot of trouble!
Fang Qingdai hurriedly used her spatial ability to pull away from the oasis, traveling more than 500 meters before stopping. Then she took the sand truck out of her spatial ability again.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Qingdai mixed another portion of water, put it in a water bag to carry with her, and also brought the restored Yunnan Baiyao with her.
If the other party really is Jing Yi's subordinate, these things will definitely come in handy!
Fang Qingdai was driving the dune buggy back towards the oasis, still rehearsing her lines, when she suddenly heard a gasp!
"Third Brother!!"
Fang Qingdai was startled and looked up, only to see the tall man rushing into the oasis!
The once peaceful oasis suddenly became lively. The thorns growing on the outermost edge seemed to be injected with life, and in an instant, they bared their fangs and claws, striking at the tall man!
The tall trees that resemble coconut trees also dropped the fruits from their tops, which exploded as soon as they hit the ground!
"boom!"
The huge explosion created a gust of air that sent the tall man, who was already battered and bruised by the thorns, flying through the air!
The tall man fell onto the sand and immediately vomited a mouthful of blood!
As blood splattered onto the sand, the oasis fell silent for a moment, followed by an increasingly unsettling rustling sound that filled the heart with dread!
Fang Qingdai was farther away and had a wider view. She could clearly see that countless insects in the oasis gathered like water and then surged towards the direction where the people were!
"Holy crap!"
Fang Qingdai was so frightened that her scalp tingled!
"Run! The bugs are coming out!"
She shouted a warning, and the two men, who had already noticed something was wrong, quickly ran back to the unconscious man. The shorter man carried his unconscious companion on his back, and the three of them began to run for their lives!
But they can't possibly be as fast as insects!
The insect army surged out of the oasis in dense swarms, looking from a distance like a tsunami of insects!
Seeing that the three were about to be caught up, Fang Qingdai gritted her teeth and took out a cup of spatial water!
As soon as the spatial water left the space, the stream of insects noticeably paused!
Then the swarm of insects suddenly turned around and rushed towards Fang Qingdai!
That speed was many times faster than when they were chasing those three!
Fang Qingdai quickly turned the sand truck around and sped away with the accelerator floored!
The moment Fang Qingdai turned around, a roar like that of a bomber seemed to come from within the oasis.
The overwhelming pressure terrified Fang Qingdai so much that she wished she could carry the sand cart and run for her life!
After luring the insects two or three kilometers away, Fang Qingdai suddenly stored the water cup away in her spatial storage.
Seeing that the insects had lost their target and were standing still somewhat bewildered, Fang Qingdai breathed a slight sigh of relief and drove the sand truck away at high speed.
