"One more week to ......"

After checking the mandatory return time displayed on the martial arts passenger, even Xu Yichao, who has always been optimistic, couldn't help but feel a trace of despair in his heart.

He is well aware of his current physical condition, and if he can't find something like "twice the protein is twice as big as beef" and "chicken is crunchy and can be eaten after removing the head", then he will definitely not be able to make a forced return.

Two lives, this is the closest Xu Yichao is to death, and it is also the most likely to die completely.

Only at this time did Xu Yichao realize that his spirit was far less powerful than he imagined.

When it comes to facing death, he can't be so calm.

"A fallen genius, a house slave who was kicked out of the house, and a young master next door who suddenly woke up from a vegetative state...... I thought they were the biggest threat to my life, but I didn't expect to die here before I even saw them......

Xu Yichao smiled bitterly again, thinking that these three ruthless characters who he regarded as the enemies of life and death were going to die in this boundless desert before they had ever seen each other, his heart couldn't help but rise a little unwillingly.

This kind of death is a bit too wretched, isn't it?

This shouldn't be the treatment that the protagonist has, right?

If you're really lucky, it's time for something to happen, right?

Xu Yichao squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, under the dual influence of wind and sand and lack of sleep, coupled with the fact that his mental state had become a little trance, the scenery in his vision became blurred at this moment, as if separated by a layer of fog.

In this hazy room, Xu Yichao seemed to see a row of low farmhouse huts, and there were many people working hard in front of the houses......

His body shook and suddenly came to his senses:

"It's dangerous!"

Xu Yichao woke up from the trance just now, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He was actually very dangerous just now, after thinking about it for a while, the whole person's mental state became a little abnormal, if it weren't for the sudden wake-up of seeing this row of huts, I'm afraid I would really have to explain here today.

However, after seeing this row of farmhouse huts clearly, Xu Yichao was not excited, on the contrary, he frowned:

"Mirage?"

In any case, it is also a modern person with higher education, and Xu Yichao first thought of it when he saw this scene.

After all, he has heard too many stories in the desert because he mistook the mirage for reality, and finally died with regret and incomprehension, and the mirage can be one of the culprits of death alongside natural conditions such as hunger and thirst, scorching sun, and storms.

Therefore, the first time he saw this row of farmhouses, Xu Yichao subconsciously thought of this aspect.

But – what if it's true?

It's not impossible!

Thinking of this, Xu Yichao couldn't help but secrete adrenaline and his heart beat faster.

However, after thinking about it, he still forced his mood to calm down.

If he had seen this scene when he had just been brought here by Wulin Tongjian, he would definitely rush in this direction without hesitation, anyway, he didn't know where he was in the desert or in which direction he went, and maybe the probability of surviving in this direction was even greater.

But now he has been in the desert for a whole week, and his physical and mental consumption is close to the limit, but this direction is not the same as the direction he has taken all the way.

At this point, if he changes direction halfway, then the action he spent a lot of energy on correcting his trajectory becomes meaningless.

After some careful consideration, Xu Yichao made a decision.

"You can't rush, just wait. ”

Mirages usually don't last very long – as little as a few minutes, as much as one to two hours.

Because its essence is an optical phenomenon, it is a virtual image formed by the refraction of the light reflected by the object, and with the change of time and weather, the light will naturally change accordingly, so if it is really a mirage, it will naturally change or even disappear after a while.

Xu Yichao tried to calm down his eagerness to try, and waited patiently.

You must know that the ups and downs of emotions are also an important factor affecting people's mental state, whether the row of farmhouses he sees is a mirage or not, he must keep a calm mind as much as possible, otherwise whether this is a mirage or not, this matter will bring him a huge consumption.

If these huts weren't mirages, he wouldn't be in a state of overjoyed hope to keep him going.

If it was certain that it was just a mirage, the up-and-down change of mindset would be extremely detrimental to his survival in the wilderness for the next week.

Close your eyes and breathe deeply.

After about an hour, Xu Yichao opened his eyes again and found that the row of farmhouses had not disappeared!

Calm down, you must be calm, Xu Yichao secretly warned himself in his heart, and he just suppressed the urge to run wildly.

Waiting for another hour, if it didn't disappear by then, it would not be too late to go, Xu Yichao persuaded himself to close his eyes and enter a state of calm as water.

Another hour.

When Xu Yichao opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find that the row of farmhouses was still in his sight!

Finally saved!

At this moment, Xu Yichao burst into tears.

First firmly told himself not to be too excited, and then cautiously confirmed the direction, he resolutely walked towards this row of farmhouses.

Although Xu Yichao's mental state is not good, his eyesight is still excellent, and the row of farmhouse huts does not seem to be far away, but in fact it is not close.

However, he resisted his temperament, forced down the mood of wanting to run wildly, and walked step by step, finally narrowing the distance between him and them, and finally came to the front.

"So I've been walking along the desert border all along?"

Turning around and looking at the vegetation at the junction with the desert, Xu Yichao didn't know what to say, if he had walked in this direction from the beginning, he would have been able to come out a long time ago!

But after thinking about it again, fortunately I didn't go in the opposite direction at the beginning, and if I did, I am afraid that I would not even have the last chance to live.

Xu Yichao's luck is still good, although he failed to find the shortest shortcut, but he didn't go on the wrong path, and judging from the results, this kind of ending may be better than going straight to the finish line at the beginning.

"Is anyone home, I'm ......"

It's just that at this moment, Xu Yichao no longer has the extra energy to think about this, he raised his breath, and although he roared, he also exhausted the last bit of strength.

Seeing a person rushing out of the house, Xu Yichao's heart was wide, and he couldn't hold on any longer, so he fell straight down.

As for whether this person is good or bad, and whether he will save himself, he can't care about it at all.
