1300 Chen Xiaobeis Discovery (1/2)
The scarlet sun lowered into the mountains of sand and slowly disappeared.
Nightfall was coming.
The group kept close together and slowed down their pace. As of now, preserving their lives was of importance above all else.
”Elder Shixiong, why don't you just send for an aircraft to deliver food and drinks for me? I am parched and famished. I'm exhausted.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
Wang Mengyu pursed her cracked lips. Her mouth was dry as the dust beneath her feet.
”Is the thirst getting to your brain? Why don't you take your phone out and see if there's any signal?” Zhou Xiaokun sounded miffed. ”Do you think we'd want to torture ourselves like this if we knew airdrops was possible from the beginning? We would already have had the planes drop us off at our destination!”
Wang Mengyu took out her phone and exclaimed, ”God, it's true! There's no signal at all! Even the GPS is unresponsive!”
Ding Ding'ao explained, ”The Black Desert contains a special magnetic field that jams all electronic devices. There were people who tried to get there by planes before. The entire crew crashed and not a single soul made it back! They couldn't even locate the black box!”
”My god! They couldn't find the black box?!” Wang Mengyu inhaled sharply.
The black box of an aircraft is designed especially for tracking. In event of an aviation accidents, the black box transmits a strong beacon that is used to find the remains of the aircraft.
If even the signals of these black boxes could be interfered with, the magnetic fields of the Black Desert must be extremely terrifying!
”If we can't use airplanes and we can't get any water, will we die?”
Wang Mengyu looked like she was about to burst into tears.
”Stop saying such pessimistive things!” Zhou Xiaokun scolded. ”Once we arrive in the Black Desert, we'll be able to find an ancient city. If we're lucky, we'll be able to find water by first light!”
”May God protect us. Help us find water… I don't want to die!”
Wang Mengyu clasped her hands in prayer.
Right now, there were only two options: Find water quickly or die of thirst!
There was nothing else Wang Mengyu could do beside praying at this point.
”Look at them!” Ding Ding'ao said begrudgingly. ”Look at those two mother*ckers! Why do they still look perfectly fine? Here we are dying of thirst, but the both of them don't even look thirsty at all! Look at their lips! Plump and moist! There's something fishy going on here!”
Wang Mengyu flinched when Ding Ding'ao used those vulgar terms to speak of Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti. Chen Xiaobei had saved her from death and she was extremely indebted for that.
But Ding Ding'ao lost an arm. Wang Mengyu was in no place to say anything, so she kept her displeasure to herself.
But in the midst of her silence, she overheard a shocking secret!
Zhou Xiaokun muttered under his breath, ”Let's not do anything to provoke the mother*ckers just yet! There might be another Crimson Crowned Snake later tonight! It's not too late to teach them a lesson after we find our water supply!”
”Mm.” Ding Ding'ao nodded and suppressed the rage brewing in his heart.
Wang Mengyu was surprised at the conversation. She thought that Elder Shixiong had already approbated Chen Xiaobei. She did not expect him to be still holding a grudge and plotting revenge against Chen Xiaobei!
She found herself extremely troubled and in a dilemma. Elder Shixiong was someone that she deeply loved and admired on one hand, but on the other was Chen Xiaobei who had delivered her from death!
Should she report this to Chen Xiaobei?
Wang Mengyu found herself in a pickle. She was oblivious of the fact that Chen Xiaobei never once trusted Zhou Xiaokun and keep his caution around that man.
Midnight dawned not long after, and so did a swarm of Crimson Crowned Snakes.
Since everyone was on a hypervigilant mode, they did discover the snakes beforehand.
