The thirty-fifth day into the eternal world.

After four days at the Oasis, Wilson and Wendy get to know the desert completely. The vegetation here is sparse, but the transplanted crops are growing very strong; Natural resources are scarce here, and if there is no harvest, the necessary grass and branches have to be obtained in distant forests; Only stone can be extracted from minerals, and gold nuggets and saltpeter are lacking. But the desert has the benefits of the desert, cacti are abundant here, and roasted cactus meat is excellent cooking, and Wilson ate a piece of roasted cactus kept in the refrigerator, and the taste was somewhat light, but it made him feel clear-headed and filled; There are also goats in the desert – Wormwood calls them electric sheep: "Because their horns absorb thunder and lightning, like charging, they are electric sheep." "This goat is a bit like a springbok, bouncing, hiding from humans. Of course, when asked why he moved to the desert, Warmwood replied that the main reason was that there was an oasis with an oasis lake that provided water, fishing, and fireflies.

"So, you still like fireflies?"

"Who told you I like fireflies?" Wormwood shaved the pumpkin flesh, and he had already made four jack-o'-lanterns in the past two days.

"Little Spider, Webber, he's my friend, we live together, he told your story, he said you used to love catching fireflies."

But Wormwood was noncommittal, just muttering "Fireflies, fireflies, spiders, spiders." ”

The natural conditions of the desert are generally the same as those of other terrains, but it is said that they change dramatically in the summer.

"What will it become?"

"It will be full of yellow sand, which is caused by the antlion king." Wendy replied to Wilson, "That's what Worm Jr. said." ”

"The Antlion King? Is it a lion? ”

"Antlion, antlion!" Wormwood corrected, "Not only does it bring wind and sand, but it must also be sacrificed to him, otherwise it can cause earthquakes." It is the king of summer. ”

"The King of Summer? What do you mean by that? There are kings in this world, and there is one for every season? Wilson asked.

"You're pretty smart, aren't you?" Winona, a female worker, makes fun of Wilson.

"Not just the four kings, but the dragonflies and the queen bee." Wormwood catches a firefly from the crate and seals it in a sliced pumpkin, and Wendy takes the jack-o'-lantern with Abigail behind her. "The four kings represent the four seasons: the badger in autumn, the deer-eyed deer in winter, the elk goose in spring, and the antlion in summer. They awaken in the corresponding season to rule the continent. ”

"The antlion's home is the desert, our oasis." Winona went on to say that it seemed that Wormwood had already told them the story.

Wilson went on to ask, "So do they have any effect on us?" It sounds like these four kings are just animals, how do they rule the continent? Can't we beat them? ”

"Haha, defeat the Antlion, you're the king!" Winona then quipped.

"Kings are behemoths!" "Fool, the four kings are as big as a mountain, they can do magic, who can defeat the king!" ”

"By the way, little Walm, didn't you say that the Deerclops would look for a place where there was a fire in the winter and destroy all the buildings there? We are also preparing for its possible arrival, winter is over, and it seems that the giant deer will not come. Winona was right, winter was coming to an end, the snow was melting, the temperature was rising, and they lit a campfire, and they basically didn't feel cold anymore.

"Well, yes, the giant deer didn't come looking for us." Wormwood was also puzzled, "The last time it appeared, it almost destroyed my entire home, the farm, the beehive, the meat grill, the cooking pot, it was a giant, it broke the building with ice, I hope it never came to me." ”

"So, it's almost spring, and a new king is coming to rule the continent?"

"That's right," said Wormwood, who didn't like Wilson, patiently answered, "the elk goose will return to its nest in the pond to protect its goslings." ”

"It sounds like a big goose," Wilson joked, "a big goose that guards her cubs, and there are a lot of mother geese on the farms in the country." ”

Wurmwood shook his head, "You get it when you see it." ”

Winter was coming to an end, and Wilson felt it was time to return to base and his friends. After all, they must have been worried about death after going out for so long and not hearing from them, and there is a robot, it doesn't have a stupid tendon waiting for itself in the grassland. But having spent all these times with Wendy, Winona, and Wurmwood, life in the desert was as pleasant and fun as Wendy's, Wendy was lovely, and occasionally a little sad, in the face of her sister who had lost her life; Winona is cheerful and cheerful, and like Wolfgang, she is a trustworthy person, and she takes on most of the work of "home"; Although little Worm always says that he doesn't like everyone, it can be seen that he is still happy to be with his friends.

It was time to say goodbye to them, and Wilson drank the fish soup—Winona had been fishing for days on end, and Wormwood made fish soup for everyone every day—and it was time for Wilson to go home when spring came.
