Chapter 18: The Sea of the Desert

The rumbling of the star chariot gradually stopped, and the outside world returned to calm. The two of them woke up from fainting. Cha Cha tried to look out as she crossed, but after all, she couldn't withstand the extreme dizziness of her head. When I open my eyes now, I still feel like the world is spinning.

"Go out and have a look?" Cha Cha struggled to get up from the couch and stumbled out. She finally knew the role of the sofa in the living room. These ordinary-looking sofas stabilize their bodies during the crossing and prevent them from accidents during the crossing.

"I'll lie down a little longer." Ah Xue obviously couldn't stand it. Obviously, the last time I crossed, I slept quite soundly. This time, I actually felt seasick, and I couldn't help but want to vomit.

Cha Cha rubbed his ears and opened the door by himself. Can't wait to test my hypothesis.

According to the experience of the previous world, meteors have fallen in the places where the stars landed, and the places where they stayed were also the historical worlds of the earth. So she boldly assumed that plane travel meant going back in time, and through the historical trail of meteorites falling on Earth, they would be able to find all the places they could reach, and then they would have the opportunity to get infinitely closer to the original world.

Outside the door is a desert with two suns hanging in the sky. Obviously, they are no longer on Earth.

Cha Cha's heart welled up with a little loss, but there was also a feeling of expectation. After all, according to Nicholas Zhao Si'er's rhetoric, each plane has its own independent law, and if you just go back to the past, the world is interconnected, how can you talk about independence.

Failure is the mother of success, Cha Cha comforts herself. It's just an assumption, they still have other opportunities. Take a closer look at the sun in the sky, one of them is less bright and emits normal white light. The other is blue, with horns and unstable light.

Could it be a supernova explosion? Hope rose in Cha Cha's heart that they might still be on earth.

When some massive stars are dying, they produce violent explosions, which are extremely bright, bursting with dazzling light that can make the night seem like day, as if there is a "second sun" in the sky. There have been 10 recorded supernova explosions in history, with the earliest recorded one occurring in 185 AD.

"!" Cha Cha scolded uncontrollably, and her mood fell to the bottom. If they were still on Earth, at this point in time, her idol would have been dead for hundreds of years. Yesterday I was still talking to idols and invited him to dinner, but today I turned to ashes when I crossed idols.

"What's wrong with you?" Ah Xue came out of the star and saw Cha Cha crying and mourning at a glance. Careful inquiry is another unintelligible noun. When Cha Cha mentioned her idol, Ah Xue finally understood the idea, but she didn't think so, "Your idol is already dead." When you didn't see him, it was already a thousand years. ”

"Seems to be the truth." Cha Cha was speechless.

If she hadn't traveled to the plane, she wouldn't have had a chance to meet her idols at all. Now it's just a return to normal. Thinking of the pen that took 40,000 password attempts to get, Cha Cha reluctantly suppressed these unhappiness. That was another hypothesis of hers, and she didn't even have a clue how to test it. But at least, she still has hope.

"We've got to find a way to get out of this desert first." It's the world right now that counts.

The desert is as vast as the sea, and the undulating sand dunes are like solidified waves. With a thought in my heart, the world is vast, and the past is like a cloud of smoke. Without food and water, they cannot survive and must find an oasis before their reserves run out.

Ah Xue and Cha Cha returned to Xingcha and changed into the most convenient clothes to walk.

The shoes on the feet transform into long tubes to prevent the ubiquitous sand from getting into the clothes. Four more walking sticks were pulled out of Ah Xue's room. The clothes that go with these canes are all in the English style and look like a medieval earl. The sand dunes are soft and can easily damage your knees if you step on them for a long time. Walking with two canes reduces the strain on your knees and also saves a lot of energy.

Cha Cha put two bottles of water into her satchel and asked Ah Xue to put her phone back in her room. If you drop your phone in the desert and can't make a sound, if you lose it, you can't find it again.

"Ah Xue, you can make a hexagram." Cha Cha said, "There is no reference on the desert, we have to choose a direction." ”

Since the desert has the same sandy slopes on all sides, there is no way to ask for directions by coin. Ayuki uses the position of the sun as a reference point to calculate the location of the raw gate.

After getting ready, Cha Cha put Xingcha into her satchel, held a cane with both hands, and set off in the direction of Shengmen. Since it is uphill, Cha Cha tests the amount of resistance under her feet, changes the shape of the shoe, and makes the toe box sharp and smooth. She walked in front of her by kicking the sand, and Ah Xue stepped on her footprints, trying to save her physical strength.

Inevitably, their feet sank into the sand, and both of them had a hard time.

Ah Xue rarely goes out because of her eyes, and she has never walked in the desert. And Cha Cha, although he has the opportunity to walk in the desert, spends most of his time riding on a camel and listening to the sound of camel bells and enjoying the sunrise and sunset. Fortunately, the bodies of the two have been much stronger after the baptism of plane travel, and after a distance, they gradually got used to it.

Cha Cha took off the scarf covering her face and put it in her pocket, and when something covered her face, she always felt that it was difficult to breathe.

The two suns in the sky scorched the whole earth mercilessly.

The two shadows overlapped, the heat spread from the soles of their feet to the center of their eyebrows, and sweat dripped down their foreheads, and they were immersed in the desert, and they could not hear a sound. Everywhere was a monotonous yellow, the hot wind was blowing in his face, the gaps between his lips were covered with dust, and the strength of his body slowly faded with the evaporation of sweat. The clothes rubbed against the skin dryly, leaving only endless exhaustion.

"Let's go again in the evening." Cha Cha suggested, "If you go on like this, you will only waste water and physical strength." ”

"Hmm. Let's go back to sleep first. ”

The two of them put Xingcha back into the desert and rolled up a circle of dust. The gate of the star chariot is facing the direction of the living gate. When she turned it on again, Cha Cha was holding her finger pen, intending to use it as a flashlight. Looking up at the sky, he put the pointing pen back in his room.

The desert is as white as snow, and the starry sky is vast overhead. The three moons hung in the night sky, casting a pale blue veil over the desert. Two crescent moons are scattered on either side, and the one in the middle is a daytime supernova that glows brightly blue.

Cha Cha stood in the moonlight, the three shadows on the soles of her feet were dimly scattered in the dust, changing with her movements, like a band.

Xue came out of the star, and the desert instantly became lively. Two people, six shadows, roamed happily in the desert.

Because of the supernova, the temperature did not drop much after the heat dissipated during the day, and the temperature in the twenties was the most comfortable temperature. Turning over the sand dunes, the terrain became gentle, and Ah Xue and Cha Cha walked side by side.

"It's worth it to be able to see the blue moon in your lifetime." Ah Xue said happily.

She has had an inexplicable obsession with the moon since she was a child, and her family has bought ball lights for several months. There is one that is 3D printed, but unfortunately the color is yellow, and Ah Xue is not very satisfied. Cha Cha also sent one, the kind of magnetic levitation, the surface is concave and convex, and it rotates on its own with the music. It's just that the music is not Ah Xue's favorite style, and it's a little boring after listening to it for a long time. I have always loved the blue moonstone, but the price of good condition is too expensive, and I have not been willing to buy it after planting grass for a long time.

"yes. The moon has not yet changed its brightness and has remained the same. Cha Cha also said with emotion, "I hope that the world we live in is as magnificent and complete as the moon in the sky." ”

"Hmm!"

The two took a break every hour and stopped to rehydrate and stamina. The time for rest and walking is strictly controlled. And so it walked into the morning, and the first sun rose from the sky. The two walked some distance further, found the flat ground between the sand dunes, opened the Xingcha, and ended the day's journey.

I walked for three days in a row, but I didn't see an oasis of hope.

There was a mirage, with peaks and peaks, like a Penglai fairyland. Cha Cha excitedly opened the Xingcha, grabbed the camera and pressed the shutter wildly, and did not stop until the scenery disappeared. There were no houses or buildings in the mirage, and no figures appeared, so it was impossible to tell where they were and where they were for the time being.

On the fourth day of the desert walk, a dark shadow appeared in the sky, and a young man rode a giant dragon with a bird's beak falling from the sky.
