NOVEL NEXT Chapter 30 - Strangeness
Mai Dongzi was looking for an opportunity to leave the desert and go into the forest for training, but she couldn’t think of a good way for two days. She was thinking that if she couldn’t find an opportunity, she would create one herself.
As she was thinking of a way, the opportunity came by itself.
On the eighth and ninth days of the survival game, two adventurers died in succession, which made everyone’s hearts collapse.
Fortunately, no adventurers were in trouble on the tenth day, which made the survival game program team breathe a sigh of relief.
But on the eleventh day, before noon, they had to take a deep breath of relief.
“What is that?” The director pointed to a satellite control screen.
The staff responsible for monitoring this aspect hurried over to take a look and saw a gray-black dot on the screen.
“This is a satellite image of Desert No. 1. This is dark clouds…”
After Mai Dongzi finished lunch, she was thinking about how to perfectly create an opportunity to leave here tomorrow, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the oasis.
She observed and found that there were more dust particles in the air than in the morning. Before she had lunch, the bright and hot sunlight had dimmed a lot.
This unusual change may be a sign of something happening. Mai Dongzi immediately packed up the pan and walked out of the shade of the tree.
She saw that the originally blue sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, no longer as transparent as before, and there were rare white clouds on the horizon.
There was also something wrong with the wind direction in the oasis. It was not like the westerly wind before, but it was uncertain, and it was left, right, forward, and backward.
Mai Dongzi climbed to the top of the volcanic rock, where she dug a rock hole and looked at the sky and the oasis.
Because Mai Dongzi has been very lazy these days, there are only a few viewers in her live broadcast room, and many of them pick their time to watch.
The audience is tired of seeing Mai Dongzi not doing anything for four or five days in a row. Passionate and dull cultivation life, suddenly seeing her do something different, the audience immediately became excited.
Most of the audience first thought that Miss Lucy had found some higher-level mutant beasts and was ready to fight. They had repeatedly watched the video of Miss Lucy killing the third-level mutant wolf, which was very exciting.
Many viewers immediately switched to God’s perspective, but they searched the entire oasis and found that there were no traces of zero-level or first-level mutant beasts, let alone high-level mutant beasts.
So what on earth made Miss Lucy look so solemn?
The audience who switched to God’s perspective found that Miss Lucy kept looking into the distance, so they switched to the adventurer’s perspective.
Looking from this angle, they immediately found that the desert sky today was different from usual.
Usually, when they looked at the desert sky from the adventurer’s perspective, the desert sky was cloudless, and the scorching sunset was off the sky. There was not even a trace of white clouds.
But today, not only was there a thin layer of clouds in the sky but there was also a layer of light gray fog in the desert outside the oasis, making people feel as if time was approaching evening.
The terrain of the oasis was relatively high, and Mai Dongzi could still see far after climbing to the top of the volcanic rock.
However, Mai Dongzi not only looked around with her eyes but also used her mental power to “explore” everywhere.
At first, she didn’t find anything, but her feelings told her that something was happening, so she searched again.
After the second search, Mai Dongzi finally found something strange in the east and stared in that direction.
The audience, from the adventurer’s perspective, soon discovered where Mai Dongzi was looking, so everyone followed her gaze and looked in that direction.
But after staring for a long time, the audience still didn’t notice anything unusual.
It’s just that in the past ten days, everyone who has been paying attention to Mai Dongzi knows that she is not the kind of person who shoots without a purpose. Although they didn’t find anything unusual, the audience was sure that something was wrong, which made Miss Lucy act like this.
Just as the audience in the live broadcast room were curiously asking each other, someone finally noticed that there was something wrong with the direction Mai Dongzi was looking at, and it seemed a little dark there.
When Mai Dongzi used her mental power to “scan” the east for the first time, there was nothing unusual in the sky within the “observation” range of her mental power.
When she “looked” in other directions and “scanned” the east again with her mental power, about two minutes had passed.
This time, in the area where her spiritual power sensed the farthest, the wind force that was not strong originally began to be much stronger than two minutes ago, so strong that it could roll up some fine sand in the desert.
Mai Dongzi looked in other directions again and found that there was no such phenomenon in other directions, so she immediately turned back to the east.
This time, it was only half a minute, and the wind in the east was getting stronger and stronger. The edges of the white clouds in the sky there began to be stained with gray.
Mai Dongzi noticed that the direction of the strong wind there was uncertain, and it kept switching directions. There was more and more sand and dust in the air, giving her a feeling that a storm was about to come.
In Lucy Xi’s memory, she was ignorant of this phenomenon, but Mai Dongzi was not. She knew at a glance that it was severe convective weather.
You have to know that this is a desert, and this kind of severe convective weather is likely to cause catastrophic weather.
Mai Dongzi immediately thought of the most common and most terrible catastrophic weather in the desert…sandstorms.
Although, according to the information provided by the military In the past, the next sandstorm should have come in ten or eight days, but the rules are likely to be broken.
Mai Dongzi “watched” the wind from the east getting stronger and stronger. The fine sand on the sand dunes was blown up to the sky. The sand and dust blocked the sunlight, and the white clouds in the sky had completely turned into dark clouds.
Based on Mai Dongzi’s experience in her previous life, she judged that the sandstorm had not only formed but also looked at the trajectory of the sandstorm. It was most likely heading towards the oasis where she was.
After confirming this fact, Mai Dongzi immediately jumped off the volcanic rock and ran back to the tree house.
She first packed up the things in the wooden house and put them all into the space backpack. Then she used thick vines to wrap the tree house and tie it to the tree.
She hopes that after such reinforcement, her tree house will be strong enough to survive the sandstorm.
It took Mai Dongzi about ten minutes to pack up the tree house. When she left the big tree range of the tree house, the audience who switched to God’s perspective in the live broadcast room could already see that the direction she was looking at, which was originally only a little gray sky, has now expanded to be clearly visible.
The originally light white clouds above the oasis not only thickened but also took on a little gray, blocking the direct sunlight, just like entering dusk.
The wind was also very strong, and the herbaceous plants in the oasis were blown to the east and west.
Across the screen, the audience in the live broadcast room felt a sense of depression, as if a storm was coming.
“Ah, the weather doesn’t look right. Is it going to rain?”
“What’s so scary about rain? The most terrifying thing in the desert is a sandstorm.”
“It is said that rain in the desert may cause serious consequences.”
“Didn’t you read the background information about the Blue Water Planet? The environmental information provided by the Blue Water Planet garrison said that a terrible sandstorm would occur in Desert No. 1 every once in a while.”
