Chapter 13 The second ability [Sandification]
The ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue were completely submerged by yellow sand.
If the heat and thirst weren't bothering everyone, everyone would think this was a weird dream.
"Ahem. Old Hu, is there any water?"
Yang An and Hu Bayi worked together to dig out the fat man from the half-buried state.
As soon as the fat man opened his eyes, the first thing he said was to ask if there was water to drink.
Everyone shook their heads.
Except for drinking some water when we escaped yesterday, everyone has not had a drop of water all day and night.
Professor Chen's low-grade fever is more serious, he has begun to talk nonsense, and has symptoms of dehydration.
“It’s gone.”
Hu Bayi looked depressed. He had survived many times from desperate situations, but this time there was really no hope of survival. He could only sit in a daze - waiting to die.
At this time, Uncle An Liman appeared and spoke bitterly to tell even worse news.
The wind and sand were too strong yesterday. When I woke up this morning, several camels had already disappeared without a trace, dragging their luggage and taking away the only precious water source and most of the food. Now they only have Six camels.
An Liman wanted to look for it, but there was no trace in the vast sea of sand, a piece of golden wavy sand.
The fat man was so thirsty that he opened the remaining packages and looked at them without giving up.
Definitely not.
Finally, he gave up and sat down on the sand.
Result
“Fuck! It’s burning the fat man to death. Why is the sun so poisonous? He’s sunburned like this just after coming up.”
The fat man jumped up from the ground. , some mentality explodes.
After all, he escaped from the ghost cave and passed through all kinds of difficulties, but he ended up dying of thirst here.
That would be worse than being bitten to death by a snake in a ghost cave. At least it is cooler and has water to drink.
Hu Bayi sighed.
Reluctantly stood up, walked to the fat man step by step, patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Fat man, just save your energy, you will always find a way. There is no end to the sky. I will watch the sky at night, maybe I can"
other side.
Yang An followed Shirley Yang to check on Professor Chen.
Shirley Yang had a worried look on her face.
"Professor Chen is in very bad condition. I'm worried that he won't be able to persist."
Already now, Shirley Yang is still caring about Professor Chen.
Yang An found a sunhat and put it on his sister, comforting her: "Don't worry, sister, Professor Chen has his own destiny, and he will definitely persevere."
To be honest, it doesn't matter if he can't persevere. There's a solution.
In the original book, until the end, there is not much space left before everyone succeeds in surviving.
But we are really in the depths of this desert, which is so dry that not a single blade of grass grows, and there is no human habitation.
Only you can know how desperate it is.
The hot sun is emitting heat all the time, scorching everyone.
The temperature can quickly rise to over 40 degrees, or even reach the terrifying 50 degrees. In this case, people will soon be sunburned to death if they have no water source to replenish and cannot block the sun.
In the end, the corpses will turn into charcoal and be buried by the wind and sand. No one knows their whereabouts, and they will become the second missing archaeological team.
Hu Bayi came to Yang An to discuss countermeasures while Uncle An Liman was praying unremittingly.
Now if they want to reach safety, it will take at least seven days. Even if they drink their own urine and camel blood along the way, they may not be able to survive.
That's what the words mean.
Can Mr. Yang activate his super power and find the source of water?
To be honest, Hu Bayi himself didn’t have any expectations.
Yang An smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was not a god.
Let him think about how Hu Bayi and the others escaped?
It seems that he met Hu Da's envoy, a rare albino wild camel?
No, it should be said that it was the magical white camel that led everyone to a spring.
But now in the vast sea of sand, there is no sign of a camel.
But telling the truth and attacking Hu Bayi will not work.
At this point, Yang An himself is not willing to give up hope!
So Yang An comforted Lao Hu.
"The prophet and the sages will protect us from leaving here smoothly."
Such empty words made Hu Bayi a little disappointed.
"Well, I hope so."
But then he thought about it, the prophet might have predicted this scene. Since he didn't write it down in the parchment, they must have a hope of survival as long as they escape from Zagrama Mountain.
Otherwise, why would you guide them out?
Thinking of this Hu Ba nodded: "Then let's keep walking?"
"Let's keep going first, we can't sit here and wait to die."
Yang An He clenched his fists and felt the changes brought about by his physical fitness, which was four times higher than that of an ordinary person. He was no longer an ordinary person, but a being beyond ordinary people.
It allows him to withstand intense heat and cold, and the pores all over his body are closed to prevent massive loss of water, which he is still experiencing vigorously.
If there is anyone who hopes to leave, maybe Yang An is the only one, but he doesn't want to do that.
"In this case, I will lead the team. Lao Hu, go and ask Fatty and them to set off. It's not a problem to just sit there."
"Okay."
Wait for Hu Bayi Nod and go back.
Yang An was just about to pull up the camels and set off as soon as possible.
His body suddenly trembled, as if a burst of electricity surged through him and he knelt on the ground.
This scene was not noticed by others. Everyone is now mentally exhausted and has no energy to care about others.
But Yang An felt that his hands were changing to some extent.
Itching and pain
Under Yang An's horrified eyes, his hands holding the ground began to turn into sand quickly.
What is going on?
At first Yang An thought he was cursed and would turn into yellow sand and die here.
But soon, he found something was wrong.
Although the palms of his hands turned into yellow sand, he could still feel the presence of his hands... as if they were one with the sand sea.
[Sandification]
[After experiencing the baptism of a special sandstorm, he evolved the ability to control sand and gravel, and can turn his body into sand]
Thanks to a life and death crisis last night, Yang An didn't know Unconsciously, a second ability evolved.
“Isn’t this the Sand Man?”
Yang An murmured in surprise.
It reminds me of the Sandman in the Marvel Spider-Man movie, who also gained the ability to transform into sand after an accidental experiment.
You can drive the sand as you like.
To be honest, the Sandman's combat effectiveness is not particularly high.
But there are many reasons.
On the one hand, Sandman is afraid of water, and on the other hand, there is not so much sand in New York for Sandman to use all his abilities.
If the battlefield were placed in the desert, the power the Sandman could exert would be unimaginable.
Now Yang An just needs this super power.
He discovered after feeling it carefully.
With his hands turned into sand, he could feel every move within ten kilometers around him.
It was this perception ability that allowed Yang An to 'see' a familiar figure in the distance.
It is the white camel in the original work.
Help! ! !
Yang An thought it was an illusion at first, but when he was sure, he couldn't hide his excitement and jumped up from the ground.
The arm that had turned into sand quickly returned to normal.
Behind them, Hu Bayi and the others still knew nothing about Yang An's changes just now.
"Let's go! Let's go quickly. I've found a way."
Yang An didn't care about exposing his power. He had already been exposed anyway, right?
Needless to say, Shirley Yang will definitely help keep the secret.
Hu Bayi and Fatty are both trustworthy teammates now. We are all like grasshoppers.
Yang An quickly led the camel and shouted to them.
"???"
Hu Bayi was at a loss, carrying luggage with the sad-looking fat man.
Looking back, I saw Yang An with a happy face, looking at the fat man, and realized something.
"Little Yang, have you received the prophet's revelation?"
They didn't notice that one of Yang An's little fingers turned into sand and he was sensing the white camel in the distance.
Seeing that the white camel was about to disappear, Yang An couldn't afford to explain so much.
“Don’t ask, just follow me!”
