Xie Yuchen didn't answer, but only said: "It's almost dark, and you're still wearing sunglasses, can you see?"
Hei Xiazi came close to Jie Yuchen and whispered, "The darker it is... the clearer I can see." Then he handed him the kettle.
"Thank you." Xie Yuchen took the kettle and just took a sip when Hei Xiazi handed him a box of fried rice.
"Would you like some fried rice with green peppers and shredded pork?" asked Hei Xia Zi.
"I don't like green peppers, thank you." Xie Yuchen politely declined.
Hei Xiazi turned around and changed another one. "Compressed biscuits, want some?"
Xie Yuchen pushed Hei Xiazi's hand away in disgust and said, "It's too dry."
"Let me tell you, it's such a luxury to eat compressed biscuits in a desert environment," said Hei Xia Zi.
Xie Yuchen smiled and said, "Based on what you said, this cookie should be very expensive, right?"
As expected, Hei Xiazi pulled out a POS machine and said, "500!"
"miser…"
Xie Yuchen was helpless, then lowered his head and took out a black card, saying: "Even if I give you this card, you can't swipe it because there is no signal here."
Hei Xia Zi shook the POS machine in his hand in disbelief, and finally said, "Then you owe it first."
But Xie Yuchen had already taken out some cash and handed it to Hei Xiazi, "Look, I don't like owing others."
Hei Xia Zi took the cash, counted it carefully and put it in his pocket.
Xie Yuchen casually threw the compressed biscuits beside him and lay down again. Hei Xiazi took a look, quietly reached out to take the biscuits back and put them in his backpack, then lay down next to Xie Yuchen with satisfaction.
He had no idea that his little action was seen clearly by Jie Yuchen.
In the evening, the convoy was ready to set off.
"Hey, everyone who can be found has come over here!" Hei Xia Zi shouted to Aning on the sand slope.
Aning gave a thumbs up from a distance.
"Attention everyone, pack your bags and head to Devil City!"
…
The black off-road vehicle took the lead. There were no accidents along the way, and the convoy quickly arrived at the outskirts of Devil City before dark.
As the cars parked one by one, Ji Huaichuan opened the door and walked away. Enduring the discomfort, he touched a big rock and then lowered his head to vomit. Zhang Qiling patted his back from behind to help him calm down. The car was driving too fast and he was almost injured by the bumps.
"Is Xiaochuan okay?" Wuxie saw that Ji Huaichuan was not feeling well, so he quickly followed and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just felt a little drunk in the car." Ji Huaichuan waved his hand and said.
After recovering from the shock, the group quickly looked for a place to set up camp.
"Hey bro, how's this place?"
Wuxie walked around and found a large open space.
Zhang Qiling nodded, Wuxie took out an ordnance shovel and started digging a hole. While digging, he suddenly saw a hand in the sand in front of him.
Wuxie walked over cautiously, touched the hand lightly, and then held it tightly. The hand still had body temperature, so Wuxie quickly turned around and called for help.
"Someone come quickly!"
Ji Huaichuan turned his head when he heard the voice. Zhang Qiling patted his shoulder to signal him not to move, and then went to poach people.
Ji Huaichuan could only hear noises and couldn't see anything. It was so frustrating. He could clearly see a little bit before, but now he couldn't see at all. Could his eyes ever get better?!
The person was quickly dug out and carried out of the sand pit, and it was discovered that he was one of the four people who had disappeared before.
"It's more than 20 kilometers, and this guy can walk here against the wind. Zhaxi, is there any shortcut here?" asked Hei Xia Zi.
"Impossible." Zhaxi shook his head and said.
While they were talking, the unconscious man woke up. Aning hurriedly asked, "How did you get here?"
The man said, "I was walking to avoid the sandstorm, and I don't know how I ended up here."
"Have you seen Lao Gao and the others?" Aning continued to ask.
"Lao Gao and the others went inside, and no matter how I called them, they wouldn't stop."
Everyone looked at the entrance of Devil City with different thoughts in their minds.
The distance was not very far, and Ji Huaichuan could hear their conversation clearly. Those people who entered the Devil City must have been under an illusion. It might be the work of Sister Shuangcheng, but... Master's illusion skills were also very good, so he hoped it wasn't him.
Aning sighed softly and said, "Carry the person over."
"Wu Laosi, take your men and patrol this area thoroughly. Lao Jia, Zhaxi, Daozi, come with me into Devil City to look for him!"
"I won't go into the Devil City," Zhaxi refused.
At this time, the wind happened to blow, and bursts of wailing sounds came from the Devil City.
"Listen, listen!" Zhaxi said fearfully.
"Don't be afraid, this is a characteristic of the Yardang landform. It is because of weathering that such uneven rock layers are formed, and such sounds are made when the wind blows." Wuxie explained.
"There are many such landforms in Qing City and Jiang City. This is normal." Xie Yuchen also said.
"No, no, no... I won't go. No one can walk out of the Devil City!" Zhaxi didn't listen to these scientific evidences at all and still refused bluntly.
Ji Huaichuan sat bored on a rock, listening to their argument not far away. He felt that if they continued discussing, they might even end up in a fight, a struggle between science and metaphysics.
At this moment, Ji Huaichuan suddenly raised his head and looked around. He just heard a very light voice.
"Xiao Huaichuan, I'm back..."
Just as it brushed past his ears, he was very familiar with the voice. It was that person's! He couldn't be here. Wasn't he sealed? Ji Huaichuan was lost in thought when he suddenly heard someone cue him. It was Aning.
"Ji Huaichuan, you come with me too."
"Ah? Why?" Ji Huaichuan was confused. Why did they drag a little blind man like him into the Devil City? To be a burden?
"Because I can ignore anyone, but I will never ignore you."
Aning was very confident about this. She had already seen that Ji Huaichuan was now more important than Wuxie in Zhang Qiling's eyes.
Then, without waiting for Ji Huaichuan's consent, he went to tell Zhaxi, "Let's just look around the periphery, not inside."
"I'm going with you guys too!" Wuxie couldn't help but join in the fun.
Aning looked him up and down, and said with disdain, "I don't want to bring any burdens along."
"Oh, more people means more protection!" Wuxie said with a smile.
Aning hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "You're right. Follow closely and don't fall behind."
After listening to Aning's words, Zhaxi thought about it and finally compromised. Only Ji Huaichuan was taken away in a daze and entered the Devil City in a daze. Zhang Qiling just took a look and said nothing. He knew that Ji Huaichuan had the ability to protect himself, so he was not very worried.
But he still watched Ji Huaichuan enter the Devil City, and only turned and walked away after he was completely out of sight.
