Chapter 14: Between Life and Death
β...... Ah......h With the burst of power from Fu Hu's fist, Fu Hu clearly felt the feeling of tearing the 'earth' coming from his hand.
The earth-shattering roar of "Roaring ............" quickly drowned out Fu Hu's shout. The five of them only felt a shaking under their feet, and then they and the others were driven by something to flip over, and then fell down.
"It's not the bottom of the sand, it's the sand monster. Dali shouted in surprise. But before he could finish his words, they fell into the sand pit where the monster lived.
The moonless night obscured by the sand, the world so dark that it could no longer be dark, except for Dali, no one else has the ability to see in such extreme conditions. Only vigorously and clearly saw that the body of this sand demonic beast was as high as thirty floors, and even the thickness of the body was at least ten stories high, although the armor on its whole body was strong and heavy, and it looked robust. But in the face of the power of this super sandstorm, its tall body was no different from a grain of sand, and it disappeared in an instant with its roar.
"Fuck, Lao Tzu almost shed tears, this damn beast, I scared me to death for half my life. In an instant, the five of them fell dozens of meters, and the pressure was reduced a lot, but despite this, everyone's hearts were scared to death for half a life, but there was no nonsense at all.
"Let's hurry up and continue diving! Xiao Gang reminded.
"Fu Hu estimates that his strength has been dispersed by him, what about the others?" asked Ouyang Mei.
"Don't worry, I've put him in the pod. "The super hurricane has not weakened, but it has not strengthened again, and we have dived to a depth of 148 meters from the beginning to now, which means that the current super hurricane has blown away the sand 148 meters deep in this sand sea. You can't relax, and it is conservatively estimated that you need to dive another 200 meters. β
Originally, everyone's diving speed was quickly caught up by the speed of the hurricane blowing away the sand grains, but suddenly there was a buffer of dozens of meters, and everyone was a lot more relaxed for a while.
This instantaneous switch between life and death is enough for everyone who has experienced it to remember for a lifetime.
"I was really a little hopeless. Really, I never knew what despair was, but I really felt it at that moment. Fu Hu's cry seemed to be my own shout, and afterwards Fu Hu always asked us if we felt that he was embarrassed at that time, even today, hundreds of thousands of years later, Fu Hu asked me similar words. But really, I didn't feel any shame on him at all, and at that moment I think everyone was in the same mindset, except for that damn liar Dali. Actually, really, thanks to the sand monster whose name I don't know is, if it hadn't been for the dozens of meters of sand bunkers that were left to us after it was blown away by the hurricane, I don't think we would have survived that disaster 100% safely. And I don't know if it was Fu Hu's mistake that day, which made me start to pay attention to his ......" - excerpt from "Records of the Exiled Land", author Wa Zhenlan.
β... In fact, at that time, my tears flowed, and in order to hide my cowardice, I lied and said that Lao Tzu almost shed tears. I thought that no one would see it on a dark night like that. After a long time, I learned Dali's true identity, and I really wanted to dismantle him to keep my secret, well, I admit that I am not his opponent, and there is a presence behind him. I am very grateful for my loyalty, reliability and composure..."βfrom "My Growth in the Penal Land", by Fu Hengxing.
Finally, when everyone was exhausted, the salon in the sky seemed to feel tired, and the earth-shattering roar gradually drifted into the sky.
In the race of life and death, the powerful body overdraft made everyone tired and lying on the ground, and everyone fell asleep without even having time to complain and moan. Only Dali still sorted out the new stronghold as if nothing had happened. He did it very carefully, very seriously, and in his opinion, the current location is very perfect and safe. If there is no super sandstorm here that is stronger than last night, unless there are changes in the vicissitudes of the sea, the current stronghold will still exist in the unimaginable future.
The sun finally shines on the desert again, and this is the fifth sunrise after the sandstorm, but the desert is the first time that the desert has reunited with the sun. In the dead desert, the only sound was the occasional sigh of sand curtaining in the air. In the distance, something has stirred up the sand layer, which is particularly conspicuous on the neat and winding sand line. Suddenly a pillar of sand rushed into the sky, and a figure jumped out under the pillar of sand, and the falling sand curtain reflected the light in the sunlight was colorful, adding a mysterious color to the person who jumped out.
But then the people who appeared on the stage lost this look, and the four people who struggled to climb out of the cave looked at the endless lines that were neatly drawn and meandered into the desert in the distance, each with their own thoughts. Regardless of their hearts at this time, the sandstorm five days ago was an important page in their lives. The four of them were facing the sand on their backs, facing the sun, and looking directly at the stars, all of which showed the strength of their hearts.
"I think we should now find the fruitless oasis that we just arrived at five days ago. Xiao Gang lay on the ground, "Although it is likely that it has changed beyond recognition, I think we are needed there." β
Da Gang looked at Xiao Gang in surprise, how could the plan he had made be known by this guy? Although there was no such possibility, the fact happened in front of him. The best plan that I filtered out after using all the current information and going through countless elimination methods was casually said.
No one objected, but no one immediately agreed, because there was some doubt in the mind: Can you find it?
"I think I can find out where it is. Hearing Ouyang Mei's voice, the emotions that were originally doubtful also expressed acceptance at this time. Dali was even more surprised, isn't this supposed to be the only one I know? It seems that I really underestimate these dolls, maybe they are much stronger than I thought.
Just go.
The four of them stood up, and at this time they were all the same as Dali, and they couldn't see a little tiredness. However, Ouyang Mei took it back the moment she stepped out. Everyone was puzzled, and they were puzzled, and they watched her turn around, face everyone, and say a problem that everyone has never paid attention to: the problem of the team.
"I suddenly felt that there was something missing in our team, such as how to deal with everyone's opinions when we disagreed, and we needed someone to be responsible for synthesizing everyone's ideas and opinions. Whether you want to face this topic or not, we can't afford to delay on this issue. Ouyang Mei's words seemed a bit abrupt, but no one thought it was redundant.
"I agree with her that if we are to become one, someone has to sacrifice themselves to serve everyone, otherwise we will end up flying separately. Vigorously stood up and expressed support for Ouyang Mei's opinion.
"If it were in another starry sky in the universe, I would reject this suggestion. Fu Hu's answer made everyone nod silently in approval.
Then everyone began to choose the person they thought would be suitable. But the end result was a bit embarrassing.
First of all, Ouyang Aiqiu rejected everyone's proposal, and she frankly said that the position of team logistics was more suitable for her. The knowledge she studied was the microscopic science of the human body, and she practiced the Elemental Eternal Exercises. As for the statement that he has contributed the most points to the team in the past few days, it just happens to be his own area of expertise.
Then Da Gang unceremoniously rejected everyone's intentions, and his reason was that people had no way at all, just a dead reason: he didn't have that ability, and his biggest strength was to be a deputy. Everyone said that the coordinator was not the deputy of the team, but he was reprimanded by Dagang, "The deputy of the individual is responsible for the individual, and the deputy of the team is responsible for the team, and the difference is big." "However, although everyone has the idea of voting for him, it is estimated that no one will choose him when the decision is actually made. Because everyone hasn't forgotten that at the beginning, this person let a few people wake up naturally under unknown circumstances.
As for Wa Zhenlan, she didn't mean it herself, and she herself was the pathfinder of the team, and it was impossible for the walker to have the time and energy to serve as the team's coordinator.
Fu Hu, as soon as he said it, he shook his head again and again, saying that he only had brute strength.
In the end, this role can only fall to Xiao Gang. Well, even though he is not the most ideal candidate in everyone's hearts at the moment, Xiao Gang can accept it calmly. Besides, my performance in the past few days is really too ordinary, not to mention any bright spots, and my major itself does not have any specialties and outstanding places, and I graduated from the existence of a universal branch called it. Almighty and all-powerful, it is said to be omnipotent, but in fact, all the builders in the world know so much, and they are half-existences, and they lack any role in actual use.
"It was you who made our first decision in Wuguoxing, have you forgotten?" Ouyang Mei said.
When did he make everyone's first decision in Wuguoxing, Xiao Gang didn't remember such a thing. Da Gang listened to Ouyang Mei's words, but he was silently the leader in his heart. He remembered very well that he thought that everyone was surrounded by people, and the first task was to find out the intentions of the other party. However, Xiao Gang decisively put forward the opposite opinion, suggesting that everyone immediately get out of the state of encirclement. In this sense, at the beginning, everyone acted on Xiao Gang's ideas. In fact, at that time, Dali felt that the Universal Academy was not as simple as everyone imagined.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Xiao Gang for his willingness to make sacrifices for the team with applause. Somehow, he couldn't help but look at Ouyang Mei, and always felt that there seemed to be a hint of a smile in her applause.
