Milkball's little trick really made her proud. These were all trivial matters for her; she was quite capable. However, now was not the time to be complacent, as her father and teacher were both in danger.
However, Li Sheng and Yan Shuangwen remained calm, while Yan Shuangwu struggled desperately as if he were about to die, sinking deeper and deeper. Yan Shuangwen immediately cursed, "Idiot! The more you struggle, the faster you'll die. Don't move!"
Yan Shuangwen's words were like Yan Shuangwu's backbone, and he immediately became obedient: "Okay, I won't move, but then what? What should we do?"
Li Sheng continued Yan Shuangwen's words, explaining: "Don't let movies and TV shows stereotype you about quicksand. Common quicksand usually won't completely swallow a person. The reason I threw the baby out was because she was too small. Adults won't be swallowed, but children might not be."
Then Yan Shuangwen continued, "Stay calm, slowly lean back to increase the area of contact with the sand, and then try to gradually get out of the quicksand."
The key is to go slowly. It would be even better if there was a point of leverage, but the baby is too small. If you tie the rope to her body, it will only pull her down. So in the end, they have to rely on themselves.
Yan Shuangwu quickly calmed down and, imitating Li Sheng, slowly lay back, trying to free himself like a snail.
This was textbook-style teaching. Yan Shuangwen was the first to get out of the situation. She was very calm from the beginning, so she didn't get too deep into the trap; it was only up to her knees.
Li Sheng's body only reached his thighs, and he slowly pulled himself out after Yan Shuangwen. Yan Shuangwen, after a half-dead struggle, was almost submerged up to her chest, but fortunately, she didn't sink any further. This should be the deepest depth she reached.
Li Sheng and Yan Shuangwen each grabbed one of her hands and finally managed to pull her out. After pulling her out, Yan Shuangwen sat down on the ground and said irritably, "I told you to study more, but you didn't listen. Now you're suffering the consequences. In the future, never act rashly in this kind of situation, understand?"
This time, Yan Shuangwu was in the wrong and didn't refute it, but Naituan was quite frightened. Seeing that all three of them were alright, the little guy let out a long sigh.
The four then changed their formation, and it's best to keep about half a meter apart, otherwise it's really easy for them to be wiped out if something happens.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened afterward. The three of them, holding the baby, gritted their teeth and walked from night to day. However, they didn't have much luck this time. They could only dig a hole in the shady side of the sand dune to rest. Li Sheng and Yan Shuangwen were exhausted. They had four bitter melons left, so they took out two, shared them, and ate them before lying down to sleep.
Yan Shuangwu and Naituan were on lookout duty. Midway through, Yan Shuangwen marked their approximate location on a map. Li Sheng asked curiously, "How do you know we're in this location when there aren't any landmarks?"
Yan Shuangwen pointed to his head.
Mr. Li?
"Your brain is that sharp? Did you install a tracking device?"
Yan Shuangwen said, "No, I mean the sixth sense."
Li Sheng had heard that women's sixth sense was very accurate, but was it really that accurate? Terrifyingly so. However, he chose to trust Yan Shuangwen. His male intuition told him that she was a reliable woman.
Yan Shuangwen continued, "We're moving faster than we expected. We might see the oasis by tomorrow morning, provided we travel through the night."
Li Sheng weighed the food and water in their hands and made a decision: "If you're comfortable with that, let Naituan keep watch by herself. The three of us adults can rest. We'll be traveling through the night, and our water and food are almost gone."
After the group agreed on the decision, Li Sheng still trusted his daughter, as he had always known that Naituan's five senses were extraordinary.
Meanwhile, the Wulala team's aid mission brought them 2,000 milliliters of water, but they were now out of it and were desperately thirsty when a watermelon patch suddenly appeared in front of them.
The group immediately became excited: "Whoosh! Watermelon! Watermelon! Watermelon!"
However, one person stopped them: "Isn't it a bit strange to find melons in the desert? Let's not eat them and just keep going. If we can just hold on for one more day, we should be able to reach the oasis."
The bearded man at the head of the group cleaved the melon in two with one hand. Although it wasn't red, the seeds inside were similar to those of a watermelon, and it looked so fresh and tempting that it was hard to resist.
The leader ignored all advice and took a bite. However, the melon was not sweet as expected, but bitter. Nevertheless, it was very juicy and immediately relieved his thirst.
Seeing how fresh and juicy the food was, the other two people, who were already dehydrated, couldn't resist opening one and eating it. One of them immediately vomited because he realized that the bitter taste was off and most bitter foods are poisonous.
"Don't eat it, there's no such thing as a bitter melon."
However, it was too late. The bracelet issued a warning, forcing them to withdraw from the competition. The other two were also stopped and forced to induce vomiting to save themselves while waiting for rescuers to arrive.
The investors on the Woo Lala Cruise ship were utterly exasperated. They were on the verge of reaching the oasis for water and food, but instead, they stumbled at this crucial hurdle. Did they lack even the slightest common sense? Did they lack even the slightest patience? Countless people were forced to withdraw, their glasses shattered. Woo Lala had such a promising future.
However, before anyone arrived, the poison had already taken effect. The person who ate less only felt discomfort in their stomach and had a strong urge to have diarrhea, while the two who ate more were vomiting and having diarrhea uncontrollably. If they did not receive timely treatment, they were likely to die from kidney failure.
But the most important thing right now is to relieve himself. Unable to hold it in any longer, he had no choice but to take off his pants in public and let his urine flow freely, irrigating the desert sands. This spraying scene has become an iconic moment.
The only teams still standing are the Beautiful Team, the Pakistani Team, and the Southern Team.
Pakistan has transformed from the least favored team into a dark horse, vying for dominance. However, they have only come a third of the way, and although it was unexpected, no one still believed they would succeed.
The first team to reach the oasis was the Beautiful Team. After only four days of overcoming numerous obstacles, all four of them had lost a lot of weight. When they arrived at the oasis, passed through a forest, and saw the desert lake, they were very excited, but they overlooked the danger. This oasis was not only for them, but also for other creatures.
