Chapter 1 Traveler in the Desert ()

Maybe you don't understand why you are alive, but you will definitely struggle desperately when you are about to die - Mu Yuchen

Mu Yuchen felt that she was floating in an unknown space. She could feel and think but could not move at all. There was chaos around her, and suddenly Mu Yuchen lost consciousness.

The desert is called the forbidden zone of life. Although many lives still exist in the desert. However, for humans, the desert is not an ideal place to go. The whistling wind blows, causing the sand to move, and the sand dunes rise and fall slowly like waves in the sea. In this place where there is nothing but yellow sand, a figure falls here as if he has died.

Mu Yuchen felt very hot, just like the sun in the July Demon City was grinding his skin. No, after all, the Demon City was in the sea, and the air was relatively moist. Although it felt stuffy, it was still tolerant. Now, Mu Yuchen could hear the humming of his body, as if the blood was boiled, and the water was constantly leaving his body.

Mu Yuchen forced himself to wake up, opened his eyes, and felt a dazzling sunshine flashing. There was a white patch in front of him. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and lowered his head. There were grains of sand in front of him. His hands clearly felt the rough texture. All this told Mu Yuchen that this was not an illusion or a dream. "Damn it! You won't be here even if you travel through time!" Mu Yuchen complained, and he supported his body and looked around. In addition to sand dunes, sand and sand, he knelt on the ground, his heart full of despair.

"It's over, my life? Isn't it going to die here? No, absolutely not, so don't die like this inexplicable! At least, there is one thing to be clear..." Mu Yuchen shouted in his heart, and he stood up. He found that he was not wearing clothes before he was unconscious. He clearly remembered that he was wearing shorts and not even wearing T-shirts, but now he was wearing a white robe that seemed to be a residents of Arabia on TV. Mu Yuchen could not understand this situation. He patted his cheek and walked towards the back of the dune.

Sitting in the shadow of the sand dunes, Mu Yuchen felt much better, and then he began to recall how he came here. "That book!" Mu Yuchen thought about it. All the strange things seemed to start from that book. He had considered whether this was a prank by some people. But he seemed to have no value and was worthy of others teasing him like this. Time passed quickly, and the setting sun dyed the desert with a red color. Maybe because he had been sitting for too long, Mu Yuchen felt his legs numb. He stood up in a daze, chose a direction, and walked forward...

Although I have seen descriptions of desert nights in some books on survival in the wild, I still cannot experience the desert at night without personally experiencing it. The night without any warmth. Mu Yuchen could only feel that his body seemed to start to stiffen and his pace became slower and slower. For a customer service staff sitting in the office, it would be good not to get sick without sitting. His athletic ability and physical fitness naturally declined sharply with his years of work. Mu Yuchen felt that he could not walk anymore. He found a sand dune, stopped on the leeward side, curled up his body, and prayed to all the gods he knew that the night would pass faster. The half-otaku finally did not resist the sleepiness, so he fell asleep.

Mu Yuchen felt that he was sinking, and the experience of struggling in the desert was leaving him. Everything seemed to be over. A dark golden light illuminated the dark world. "Diet like this? Do you have no other meaning of survival? Get up, get up, wake up!" The voice said a lot. Mu Yuchen struggled. He woke up. He staggered and wanted to stand up, but found that he was surrounded by something. A warm current suddenly burst out from his body, and he crawled out. After waking up, he felt scared. It turned out that he had been buried under the sand. If he hadn't been lucky and had been buried quite shallowly, he would have died.

A escaping from death made Mu Yuchen seem much stronger. The sun in the sky was very poisonous, and the time should be noon. Mu Yuchen stood on the dark side of the sand dunes, panting, hoping to recover more strength. He wanted to survive, and he wanted to survive. Mu Yuchen couldn't remember what day it was. He seemed to have found several cactus trees in the middle, but he didn't find water. He could only use cactus as food when he was hungry and thirsty. If it weren't for this, he would have died long ago. Mu Yuchen felt that he was getting weaker and weaker. Although he could always wake up after falling asleep, Mu Yuchen found that he woke up late and later. He didn't know how long he could last, and he no longer dared to sleep.

The vicious sun was baking the earth, and Mu Yuchen walked numbly on the empty desert. He realized that he had reached the end. At the end of his life, he could only take mechanical steps and kept telling himself that he could not stop, he could not stop. He could no longer see the object clearly. Everything was hazy. He slowly moved forward and forward with his feelings. Walking past one sand dune, another sand dune, there seemed to be a hint of green in front of him. "An illusion, another mirage." Mu Yuchen thought.

This has happened several times in the past few days. Every time this desert wonder appears again, Mu Yuchen rushed to the green place with hope, but he always finds nothing. Finally, he fainted in the desert and almost woke up. Mu Yuchen was desperate. Suddenly, he seemed to smell the smell of water, "It's over!" Mu Yuchen thought helplessly, the phantom was getting closer and clearer, and Mu Yuchen decided something was wrong, "It's true, it's a real oasis." A voice in his heart told Mu Yuchen that at that moment, Mu Yuchen thought he was saved, but unfortunately, he fell down and no longer had the strength to get up. "It's really over! I'm not willing to give up!" He thought this way, and then fell into a darkness.

The desert trade route between Xinguo and Armestoris is 20 kilometers away from the last oasis supply land that returns to Xinguo. A group of camels slowly moved towards the oasis. The sound of camels was clattering in the empty space to all sides. The merchants wrapped themselves tightly to avoid the sun in the sky. The camels were hunched on their backs and left footprints on the sand. The guide at the forefront of the team slowly moved forward while distinguishing the direction. The oasis slowly appeared in front of them. A low cheer broke out from the camels, and people couldn't help but relax, and there was water.

The caravan guide found a human-shaped object lying in front of the team. Several people were separated from the caravan and ran forward, "Are you still alive?" One person asked, and the other person lifted the fallen man's upper body and put his hands under the man's nose. "Is he still angry!" the man exclaimed. "Take him with him! The rest depends on himself." said the oldest among the people.

In a trance, Mu Yuchen felt a clear spring flowing into his body. It was so sweet. Immersed in that feeling, making people feel that life is perfect only at this moment. Every cell in Mu Yuchen's body was moistened. They were cheering, cheering for the glory of life. Mu Yuchen heard something in his ears vaguely. He tried hard to hear something clearly, but he was too tired. After a brief thought, Mu Yuchen fell into a deep sleep. In the tent next to the oasis, Dad Lai Fu, the caravan's guide, fed some water to the traveler he picked up on the road and kept encouraging him to survive. After that, the traveler, Mu Yuchen, fell asleep again.

Listening to the sound of the young man's gradually powerful breathing, Dad Lai Fu felt relieved. After traveling through this desert trade road for nearly 30 years, Dad Lai Fu himself couldn't remember how many lives he had seen. During these years, he grew older, perhaps he became softer and softer as he got older, or perhaps he survived after his death and could give himself some encouragement. Seeing the deceased life come back again, the old man felt very happy, "Maybe it's time to retire." Dad Lai Fu made a fuss and slowly withdrew from the tent. The caravan was going to rest in this oasis for a few days and replenish some fresh water. He would return to the new country in half a month's journey.

The sun rises and the moon sets, Mu Yuchen slept for almost 2 days. He woke up at a dusk. He opened his eyes blankly, as if he couldn't believe he was still alive. He supported his body and sat up. His body felt bad, his limbs were weak, but his spirit was very good. At this time, a cold and almost numb voice sounded, "The alternative survival test survives, survives, and has not awakened, and has obtained 200 points of the source crystal."

The sudden sound made Mu Yuchen's nerves tense up. He shouted without hesitation: "Who are you? You got me here!" Apart from Mu Yuchen's hoarse voice, there was no answer in the tent, "Answer me." Mu Yuchen roared, and Mu Yuchen coughed, probably because he was shouting too quickly.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the tent. A hole was opened. The light of the bonfire shone in. Standing there was a strong old man. He looked almost 60 years old. His face was covered with wrinkles like gullies. He was only 1.6 meters tall. His waist was a little hunched, but he gave people a very powerful feeling. His hair was wrapped. However, he could see the old man's black eyes and yellow skin. The old man's voice came: "You woke up and felt fine. You felt good.

"Yes, this old man is Dad Lai Fu, the guide of the caravan, probably because of the same appearance, gave Mu Yuchen the strength. He asked anxiously: "Where is this place??" The old man smiled understandingly and replied: "This is an oasis in the desert. We found you not far away. By the way, this place is only 15 days away from Xinguo. You can see that you are also a Xinguo. How could you get here!"

Mu Yuchen did not answer Lai Fu's question, but kept murmuring: "New Country, New Country..." He had realized that he seemed to have reached another world.
