Chapter 35: Aftermath

When the live broadcast ball approached the sand dune, the sharp-eyed audience in the live broadcast room could vaguely see that the person lying on the sand dune was wearing the uniform issued by the survival game program team.

However, because the person was lying on her side, and the sand buried her hands and feet, only her body and head were exposed. Therefore, it was not until the live ball flew over the person that everyone could tell from her slender figure that she was a woman.

The person was lying on her side on the sand dune, wearing a hood on her head and a white mask on her face, making it impossible to see her face clearly, let alone whether she was dead or alive.

"Looking at the figure, it should be a female. Could this be Miss Lucy? But after such a long time, she is still lying there motionless, right... Why didn't the program team send someone to check on her? Even if she didn't ask for help, it would be good to send relevant personnel to confirm her condition." Some netizens said worriedly.

"Have you forgotten? The program team has already turned on the life detector. If the life characteristics of the more than 90 adventurers become unstable, the program team will immediately send out a rescue team to rescue them."

"Within a few hundred kilometers, there is only Miss Lucy. Who else could it be if not her?"

"It was such a big storm that the entire oasis was buried by sand dunes. Miss Lucy managed to escape from the oasis. She is very amazing. I believe she is fine. If she was injured, she would not be lying on the sand dunes, but inside the sand dunes."

"Ms. Lucy is really amazing."

When the audience in the live studio was discussing the matter, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, the people on the sand dunes are moving."

The spectators looked over hurriedly and saw the person on the sand dune moving, first turning over and lying flat.

The person changed from lying on his side to lying flat on his back. Although his face was still covered with a cloth, his forehead and eyes were exposed. This was enough for everyone to identify who that person was. That person was none other than the Miss Lucy that everyone was worried about.

…

After turning over, Mai Dongzi found that she still did not have much strength, so she lay there for a few more minutes before slowly sitting up. If she did not get up again, she suspected that she would die of thirst.

In the last half hour of the sandstorm, Mai Dongzi struggled hard in the storm wrapped in yellow sand, trying hard not to be blown away by the wind and buried by the sand. It was like every second felt like an eternity.

So after the sandstorm finally passed and she was sure there was no danger around, she let herself lie down on the sand dune and rested for more than ten minutes before she had the strength to sit up.

But she was exhausted and not only was she thirsty, but she was also very hungry.

So she had to struggle to sit up, first pulling up her hood, and then shaking her hair with her hands.

Even through the screen, the audience could see with their own eyes that her hair had turned black and yellow, and when she shook her hair, yellow sand would fly in it.

After shaking off most of the sand in her hair, Mai Dongzi took out some cool boiled water from her space bag. She rinsed her mouth first, and then drank it in gulps after spitting out all the sand in her mouth. She was almost dying of thirst.

In the sandstorm, even with a cloth wrapped around his face, Mai Dongzi still had sand constantly filling his mouth.

In this situation, not to mention that Mai Dongzi didn't dare to take out water from the space bag to drink, even if she dared to take it out, she didn't dare to drink it, so she just endured it.

After drinking enough water, Mai Dongzi finally got rid of the unbearable feeling of thirst. She took a deep breath, put away the ceramic water bottle, and then took out a ceramic lunch box from her space backpack.

Having just experienced a big storm, Mai Dongzi had no appetite no matter how strong her heart was. But she was already very hungry, and she didn't have time to rest, so she planned to drink some meat soup to replenish her body.

Mai Dongzi ate the still warm meat soup. The cooked food could be kept warm for two or three days in the space bag, and even longer if placed in the space buckle.

Mai Dongzi looked in the direction of the original oasis, drinking soup and feeling deeply moved.

She never thought that such a large oasis would be swallowed up by a sandstorm.

Fortunately, she had thought about it beforehand and thus prepared a lot of food and drinks that could be eaten immediately.

Otherwise, now that the oasis is gone, she will be thirsty, hungry and tired, and will have to work hard to find food and water.

After eating and drinking enough, Mai Dongzi felt that her strength was recovering rapidly, and she looked at her computer.

It was already past four o'clock, and night in the desert falls around six o'clock, so it would be dark in more than an hour.

She didn't want to sit here any longer. She had to spend the night on the sand dunes. It was not safe, and it was really cold.

So Mai Dongzi stood up and looked around...

The first place she looked at was Oasis No. 1, which was completely buried by sand dunes, without any trace of plants.

However, Mai Dongzi's spiritual power "saw" that at the location of the original oasis lake, water was slowly seeping out from the low-lying area between several sand dunes.

As long as there is always groundwater replenishment, it is estimated that it will not be long before a small lake is formed there, and then new plants will grow around the lake, and then a new oasis will be formed.

An adventurer like Mai Dongzi cannot stay where she is and wait for a new oasis to form. She must find a new place where she can survive safely for more than 30 days.

And considering her current location, it would be better to go to the forest.

In this way, she would not give up the safe oasis with plenty of food and go into the dangerous forest, thus collapsing her original personality and causing suspicion from others.

However, the forest was more than ten kilometers away from here, and she had to cross one layer of sand dunes after another to reach the forest. According to her pace, even if there was nothing blocking her way, it would take her at least three or four hours to get there.

But it was almost dusk, and it would be completely dark in about an hour. The situation in the forest was unclear, so she didn't want to risk going in the dark.

Besides, after experiencing a devastating sandstorm, she also needed to rest. So the most important thing for her at the moment was to quickly find a place sheltered from the wind to spend the night, because the desert at night was very cold.

After Mai Dongzi determined the location of the forest through the coordinates in the optical computer, he walked towards that direction without hesitation.

After the audience in the live broadcast room discovered the direction of Mai Dongzi's movement, they looked at the satellite map of the Blue Water Planet, and many viewers quickly guessed her intentions.

After Oasis No. 1 was buried by sand dunes, the desert was no longer suitable for human survival.

So even if the forest is more dangerous than the oasis, Mai Dongzi has to choose to go to the forest, and the audience also understands.
