Chapter 7: Desert Ruins

At night, the wind continued to blow.

Whining......

Occasionally, strange sounds rang out, sometimes outside the door, sometimes on the roof, and sometimes under the bed. For the first time, Li Qiang felt particularly uncomfortable sleeping. Not physically, but mentally. Feeling the danger everywhere made him unable to sleep soundly at all.

However, it was pitch black in the house.

But Li Qiang can feel the presence of DanDan and Harry, because their presence is very strong.

"I really want to see the bright stars in the sky!" With a faint sigh, Li Qiang closed his eyes.

The night companion has a strange voice, quietly gone.

……

The next day, early in the morning, there was a rare fog.

It's a lot more comfortable.

Today, Li Qiang is very abruptly going to the desert ruins. Dandan felt incredible and didn't want to go, after all, it was relatively safe in the barrens, and once he went to the desert ruins, then it represented an omnipresent threat. Besides, Cuong can also get supplies here.

Why head to the desert ruins?

If it was Li Qiang yesterday, maybe he wouldn't go, because he was afraid, but after going through this, he could feel that his mentality had begun to change slightly, and last night......

Go to the desert ruins and keep sharpening yourself to grow from it. However, he didn't want to take DanDan with him, because Dandan's entry into the desert ruins would be more intensely corroded, so forget it.

"What? You don't take me with you! Why?" Dan Dan looked at Li Qiang and asked loudly.

Li Qiang took a deep breath, felt the cool air flow down his throat into his viscera, and smiled; "The desert ruins hurt you even more, you might as well stay here with Harry. Just wait for me to come back, are you still afraid that I won't come back!"

"But you are my master, and I should not follow you wherever you go." Dandan was puzzled.

Li Qiang touched the small screen head of the ball; "It's very convenient for me to be alone, but once I bring you, I have to worry a lot. That's good, I promise you, when I come back, how about changing your new equipment! Haven't you coveted the light bulb face for a long time, let's buy that one, and it's the most expensive! Good no good? Promise me to stay here. ”

Harry also persuaded; "Little Dandan, the radiation in the desert ruins is too powerful, if you go, in less than two days, the data will be eliminated, and the mechanical body will also turn into molten metal. Listen to your master and stay here, for your good and for him. Besides, it's boring for me to stay here as a robot, you stay, and we can talk. ”

"This ......" Dandan was at a loss.

Anyway, he's just a robot.

"Obedient, I'll just go and see, and I'll be back in two days at most. I was also very determined to go to the desert ruins this time. Li Qiang comforted.

Indeed, he had left a shadow over the desert ruins since seeing the Gold Digger killed by the giant mutant sandworm, but ......

"Okay, I know I'm useless, and I'll worry you if I go......" Dandan said uncomfortably with his head down.

"But you'll have to be back in two days, do you?"

"Eun."

At this time, Ah Qiang and Sun Hao heard the voice and walked over, but Sun Hao did not approach, but said something to Ah Qiang.

"You're going to the desert ruins?" Ah Qiang walked up to Li Qiang and asked.

"Not bad."

"But it's dangerous!"

"Just go and see, don't go deep, I'll be back in two days."

"Well, that'...... You can defend yourself with this pistol. Ah Qiang said, forcibly shoving the pistol into Li Qiang's hand.

Li Qiang glanced up at Sun Hao, then hesitated, nodded, and put away the pistol.

Everything was ready, Li Qiang took a deep breath and walked towards the desert ruins.

"Stupid, do what you say, you must come back!" Dandan shouted.

Li Qiang didn't look back, just waved his hand.

Last night, he thought carefully for a long time. First of all, the memories fused a little more, and he learned that in the desert ruins, he had a storage place with some supplies in it. According to the original owner, these are all prepared to be taken out on Han Xueyin's birthday and confessed in person. And the most important point, that is, in memory, some knowledge about the desert ruins has also been integrated.

That's why he dared to go out.

Then, after thinking about it for a few more seconds, I decided not to bring the balls.

After all, in the teaching knowledge of the academy, the radiation of desert ruins is twice that of barren land. It was originally a flat land, but because of a nuclear explosion, it became a desert. From this, you can imagine how strong the radiation is.

Fortunately, the storage place is only in the basement of a house on the periphery, so it doesn't need to go very deep.

……

The town is not particularly far from the desert ruins, an hour away, and then, Li Qiang came to the desert ruins.

Standing on the sand slope, as far as the eye can see, there is a vast sea of sand, and there is no edge in sight. Only a few buildings collapsed or rose up.

He even saw an advertising sign.

Snickers, sweep hunger, be yourself!

"If this is a metropolis, then it should be very prosperous and beautiful." Li Qiang said softly.

Whew......

A wind swept up sand and dust and rushed towards Li Qiang, and the gas mask was instantly filled.

He immediately lay down and waited for the wind to pass, and then hurriedly got up. Then, vigorously wipe the sand and dust off the gas mask with your hands.

"Hey, there's a team of gold diggers there, hurry up and keep up." Li Qiang was pleasantly surprised.

In the desert ruins, there is an unwritten rule that a lone gold prospector adventurer can join a group of people with similar identities if they come across them. That's why, even though the desert ruins are dangerous, many people still visit.

Everyone has the mentality that so many people are definitely not my death, and then they are together in groups. If someone else dies, they mourn deeply, and if they die, they mourn deeply.

His addition did not attract much attention.

After all, everyone is like that.

There is nothing particularly to pay attention to.

There is only one person, especially Li Qiang, he is a man, a young man, although he also wears a gas mask, but, for some reason, there is always a layer of fog on the gas mask. This forced him to wipe it with his hands from time to time. And the reason why he noticed Li Qiang is very simple, everyone is capable.

"Huh?" Feeling the gaze, Li Qiang looked up.

The two looked at each other, then continued to lower their heads, one silently at the end of the crane, and the other wiping the gas mask from time to time.

"Listen, everyone, the wind is blowing on all sides again, let's find a slope and dig a hole to take shelter for a while." The leading gold digger's eyes narrowed, feeling the fluttering of his eyelashes, and he immediately sensed the signs of wind on all sides, and hurriedly reminded.

Li Qiang hurriedly dug a diagonal hole in the nearby sand slope, then stuffed his backpack into it first, and then got into it himself.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, a strong wind immediately hung up outside in all directions. And, swept around with sand and dust, it was as if countless salons were on a rampage.

However, Li Qiang knew that the winds from all sides would not last long, they would dissipate in ten minutes at most.

So he silently calculated the time in his heart.

"One minute...... Two minutes...... Five minutes...... Six..."

"Help, help, ah!"

Suddenly, there was a scream outside.

Li Qiang was taken aback, and then listened carefully, and found that there was not only a scream, but also a low roar from the beast.

"It's the Hidden Sandmon!" Li Qiang exclaimed.

The Hidden Sand Beast is the rarest monster in the desert. They only appear when there is a wind on all sides. And no one knows how it came about. Some people say that the Hidden Sand Beasts are actually very small, but they are wrapped in wind and sand, so their size begins to grow huge, and when the wind stops and the sand and dust falls, they will hide in it and run away.

However, there is one thing, the Hidden Sandmon have crystal nuclei and have a high concentration of energy.

Li Qiang was overjoyed, and when it was nine minutes later, Li Qiang crawled out of the sand hole, and then crawled slowly against the sand. If it had been a few minutes ago, he would not have dared to come out, because, first, the Hidden Sand Beast would sneak attack, and second, he would lose himself inside. However, with only a minute, he was not so afraid.

No matter how you walk in a minute, you won't be left anywhere.

The wind and sand are all over the ground, whistling into the ears.

There was no other sound heard inside, and it felt like the whole person was in the center of the storm, but fortunately, the gas masks produced by the military were of excellent quality, and there were no cracks or marks.

Suddenly, in a blur, Li Qiang seemed to see an object, which was walking.

He was overjoyed; "Hidden Sandmon!" With that, he tilted his body and walked towards the figure.

A moment later, it was already close, Li Qiang opened his hands and grabbed towards the figure.

"Hey, Hidden Sandmon, you're mine!"

The figure resembled a humanoid, and after being knocked down by Li Qiang, it began to struggle non-stop, and let out a muffled roar. Li Qiang grinned in his gas mask. How could a little Hidden Sand Beast be an opponent of my power-type ability.

As soon as the wind stopped, everyone came out one after another.

"Haha, look how you run!" Li Qiang rode on the body of the Hidden Sand Beast and shouted.

After the leading man and the others climbed out, they saw Li Qiang riding on a person's body, and their complexion suddenly changed, and then the leader shouted; "Close your eyes and don't look at things you shouldn't see. Really...... Why are two young men so impatient, in order to find excitement, they actually do this kind of thing in the wind and sand. Alas! The world is going down, ......"

"What do you mean?" Li Qiang listened puzzled.

He lowered his head and was suddenly shocked, how could this hidden sand beast be wearing human clothes, and then, he put his hand into the desert and grabbed it hard, and a human wearing a gas mask appeared. Moreover, he could clearly feel the cold eyes of the other party through the gas mask.

"It's... I ......" Li Qiang was speechless, and quickly got up from the man.

"Young man, why are you so impatient, really, although I am not against the same sex...... But you can't do it just for the thrill of it! Alas, the young people of today, the world is declining!" The leader looked at Li Qiang and said.

Li Qiang said embarrassedly; "No, I...... I came out to catch the Hidden Sand Beast, and who knew I had caught a human. You see, he didn't take off his pants, how could we do that kind of thing. And, uncle, what you just said is already the second time......"

"Oh!"

This is what everyone knows.

"I'm finally about to catch the Hidden Sand Beast, and you actually came out to make trouble, damn it, see how I teach you." Who knew that the people on the ground had not yet stood up and said cruel words.
