Chapter 79 Desert Search (2) - Discovering "One Million"
Ning Shu also picked all the grapes she could, and even lifted up her pockets and the hem of her shirt to hold them.
Wu Yi suddenly ran back: "Sister Ning, I've filled it all up."
“Good, let’s go, let’s find a place to hide them,” Ning Shu said.
When she was picking grapes, she deliberately buried a bunch of grapes under the sand. When she looked through her glasses, the glasses actually detected it and indicated that there were grapes under the sand.
To confirm, she stared at the sand for a long time, and the indicator on her glasses disappeared after a while.
She looked away for a moment, and when she looked back, her glasses reminded her again that there were grapes under the sand.
This shows that she could bury the fruit anywhere in the sand and then identify it with her glasses.
To avoid being easily found, she and Wu Yi left the oasis some distance away, and then she had Wu Yi keep watch while she started digging a hole.
Normally, her hands wouldn't be able to dig a hole efficiently and quickly, but she activated her innate skill.
Digging sand becomes simple, and the sand that has been dug up is not so easy to gather back together.
To prevent people from easily spotting the fruit, she dug a pit about a meter deep, not very wide.
Wu Yi was stunned: "Sister Ning, your skills are amazing."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and throw all the fruit from your backpack and pockets in. We still need to go back and pack more."
"OK."
To avoid putting all the risks in one basket, Ning Shu dug a total of six holes and hid the fruit in several directions along the oasis.
After the sixth hole was filled in, Wu Yi belatedly asked, "Sister Ning, do you remember where it was buried? Don't forget you can't find it later."
Ning Shu was exhausted and said breathlessly, "Don't worry, I remember. Let's go back and find a place to rest and eat something."
Their water bottles had been filled several times already. It was unclear whether it was because her physical condition had improved or because the hat given by the game was effective.
It's fortunate that she didn't suffer from heatstroke after working under the scorching sun for so long.
They worked together all afternoon, and by then the sun was about to set, and soon they would be able to see nothing at all.
Ning Shu was too tired to walk, so Wu Yi carried her back to the oasis.
The two quickly ate something to replenish their energy. Ning Shu thought the abalone fruit was pretty good, but eating only fruit wouldn't fill them up, so Ning Shu took out some compressed biscuits.
"You can only eat half of the compressed biscuits."
Seeing Wu Yi struggling to finish his work, Ning Shu offered a reminder.
Each person only gets 15 compressed biscuits, and they need to survive for 30 days, so we can't let them be too carefree.
"Oh." Wu Yi was a little disappointed. Now that they had an oasis, they couldn't even show off their food. It was too frustrating.
Seemingly knowing what Wu Yi was thinking, Ning Shu said ruthlessly, "In these 30 days, you need to gradually reduce your appetite, otherwise you won't be able to make it through."
No way? From now on, I can only eat half a biscuit every day? Wu Yi wailed, thank goodness for the fruit, otherwise I would starve to death.
"After you finish eating, stuff your bag full of fruit and water, then rest," Ning Shu instructed.
The two men stuffed their bags full of dates and abalone, while only a small amount of grapes, which couldn't be compressed, were placed in the side pockets. Both their pockets were also full of dates.
After tidying up, Ning Shu and Wu Yi found a shady spot to rest. Ning Shu was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.
Ning Shu was awakened by the urge to urinate, not knowing how long she had slept. She looked around after waking up.
It was completely dark, but fortunately there was moonlight so she could see more than nothing.
She saw that Wu Yi was still fast asleep next to her, so she picked up a flashlight and got up to relieve herself.
To avoid Wu Yi, Ning Shu climbed up a sand dune, using the terrain to block his view.
After she finished relieving herself and was about to return to the oasis, she looked up and saw that the sky in the distance was shining with golden light.
The light was very conspicuous in the darkness. Ning Shu took off her glasses and found that she couldn't see the light without them, so she put her glasses back on.
She stared at it for a while, and then she realized that the light looked familiar. Then she remembered: it was "one million"!
So he was in this instance too.
Ning Shu didn't know Si Zhong's name, only that his most distinctive feature was his seven-digit points, so she jokingly called him "One Million".
She thought about it for a moment. Although the person with one million points was a bit crazy, the fact that he had so many points meant that he was good at clearing the game.
This is a good time to latch onto a powerful figure, otherwise how long would they have to keep searching for clues?
Although the source of the light was quite far away from them, it did not diminish, indicating that the other party must have stopped to rest.
Great opportunity!
Ning Shu dared not shout or yell in this place, so he quickly returned to the place where he had been resting and woke up Wu Yi.
Wu Yi was fast asleep when he was woken up and grumbled somewhat angrily, "What?"
Ning Shu shook him more forcefully: "Get up quickly, we're leaving!"
"Go? Now?" Wu Yi sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the sky, which was still pitch black.
They were exhausted in the afternoon and fell asleep shortly after sunset. When Ning Shu woke up, she checked the time on the game panel and found it was still the first half of the night.
"Yes, we need to get going. Let's fill the water tank quickly and set off immediately."
Ning Shu always reminded everyone to bring water, because in the desert, water is more precious than gold.
They packed the fruit before going to bed, so they only packed water and set off immediately.
The martial artist was still dazed and didn't think deeply about why he should leave now. Anyway, he just followed Ning Shu when she said to leave.
Ning Shu resolutely headed towards the million-dollar goal. For her, a million dollars was enough to get her through the game, but since the person was a bit of a show-off, it was best to keep her distance.
Once you arrive at the mission location, just focus on your own mission.
They continued their trek through the latter half of the night, and Ning Shu felt they were getting closer and closer to the light. However, when dawn broke, Ning Shu discovered that the light was almost invisible.
It's probably because they were a bit far away, and the sunlight was too bright during the day, so they couldn't see the light during the day.
Ning Shu was not giving up. He patted the frame of his glasses and whispered, "Give me a better look. Point me in the direction of one million. If the golden light doesn't work, change it to green."
There was no response. She didn't know if the glasses were malfunctioning or ignoring her, but in any case, she could no longer see the familiar light.
Since she couldn't see it anymore, there was nothing she could do. Ning Shu felt that she was on the right track.
However, Yi Bai might also be traveling during the day, and the direction might change then, so she hesitated about whether to continue following him.
As if sensing her telepathy, Wu Yi asked directly, "Sister Ning, where are we going?"
They've already walked into daylight; it's still early, the sun will be high in the sky soon.
"Stop! Someone's there!"
Ning Shu suddenly called out to Wu Yi in a low voice. They were walking on a sand dune when she suddenly saw several numbers emerging from another sand dune.
