Chapter 153 Lack of water
When they returned to the shelter, the sky was filled with yellow sand, like a yellow fog.
The wind was blowing hard and yellow sand was hitting the glass windows like rain.
Several people returned to the living room, leaving yellow sand all over the floor.
"According to the nature of the system, doesn't it always notify the content of the next level one day in advance and give a day of buffer time? But now it doesn't even give an extra minute! It's so inhumane!" Su Yang said bitterly.
Ji Yang: "This is the foggy world. It is normal to not play by the rules."
Su Lan was still frightened as she shook the sand. This quicksand was really terrifying. If it weren't for Shi Yiran, she and Yingzi would have suffered a lot.
Fortunately, the yellow sand was not difficult to clean. Su Lan went to the bathroom and cleaned it up quickly.
Yang Meifen just took a nap and when she woke up it was dark.
"Ouch, what is this?" Yang Meifen frowned as she looked at the mess on the ground.
"Mom, be careful, the floor is slippery!" Su Lan quickly took a wet rag and wiped the floor clean.
"Oh my God, the weather has changed again!" Yang Meifen lay on the terrace and looked out. Yellow sand mixed with broken stones were hitting the glass door with a crackling sound, which was quite creepy.
Since they came here, they have experienced three extreme climates, so Yang Meifen doesn't find it strange to see the sudden change in weather.
The most annoying thing about this kind of weather is that you can’t go out. In comparison, she prefers the rainforest where she can breathe fresh air every day.
But these are not things she can decide.
She has always had a good attitude. Her children have grown up and they should eat and drink as they please.
Yang Meifen hummed a little tune and busied herself in the kitchen.
Su Jianguo has had nothing to do recently and seldom goes out. He stays in his small room all day long drawing blueprints.
I don’t know what to research.
During dinner, Su Lan picked up some dishes for Su Jianguo and asked with concern: "Dad, what have you been busy with recently? You should take care of your health and don't stay up late."
Su Jianguo looked mysterious, "It's almost done. You will be able to see the finished product the day after tomorrow at the latest. I really need to take a break after finishing this. I'm getting old!"
"Dad, what kind of picture did you draw this time? It's so mysterious? Even I don't know." Su Yang put his hand on Su Jianguo's shoulder, trying to find out some "military intelligence".
"Oh, you'll know when the time comes." After finishing his meal, Su Jianguo went back to work.
"Mom, you still have to keep an eye on Dad. He's already old, so don't let him get too tired."
Su Lan was still worried. Her father's personality seemed lukewarm, but he was actually very resilient. Once he started something, he would finish it.
I’m afraid he will get too stuck in a rut.
Yang Meifen rolled her eyes: "Hey, how can I control it? Your father is like a cow."
"Mom, do you have any five-nut mooncakes left?"
"Mom, I made an aloe vera mask. Let's apply it together later."
The family chatted casually, and Su Lan suddenly felt very happy.
Experts say that the more nonsense a family talks, the happier they are.
Well, they talk a lot of nonsense.
The first two days after our souls died in the sea of sand were filled with sandstorms, with strong winds carrying yellow sand and gravel, sweeping across the sky.
Fortunately, Su Lan’s level 7 shelter is very sturdy, so there is no need to worry about the roof being blown off.
The new players on the island were not so lucky. The unupgraded thatched houses were everywhere and were soon buried by the yellow sand.
The stone house that was barely upgraded to level 1 is still there, but it is filled with yellow sand. When you open your mouth, it is full of sand, making it impossible to live in.
After Lu Yuan and Xu Weiwei left, their level 3 shelter was left uninhabited and was immediately occupied by the players on the island.
With the help of this shelter, dozens of people were barely saved.
Fortunately, the sandstorm finally stopped on the morning of the third day, the sun slowly rose, and the temperature rose.
Su Lan opened the terrace and saw a desolate scene. The air was dry and hot, with a special smell of sand.
The location of the island has become a huge sand dune, and the previously lush trees are now only left with bare treetops.
What’s even more exaggerated is that the originally deep blue sea has turned into a dead silent desert, a veritable sea of sand.
The foggy world changed drastically overnight.
The shelters on the island have all changed color, as if they were forgotten in the desert.
Su Lan once again marveled at the power of the Mist game and the players' helplessness.
According to the official records, nearly 100 million players were offline in three days, and the sudden sandstorm took away nearly half of the players.
No one wants to go out in a place like this where it's dry and hot during the day and freezing cold at night.
Going out is just asking for trouble.
Only Ji Yang seems to have a special liking for the desert. After all, the desert is the beginning of his foggy world.
He flies around on his hang glider every day and brings back something from time to time.
Sometimes it's a desert antelope, sometimes it's a wild camel, and sometimes it brings back a cactus.
Su Lan planted the cactus outside the yard, and finally there was a hint of green.
In the sand sea environment, besides the environment being unsuitable for human habitation, they face even greater challenges.
That's the drinking water problem.
Su Lan has a retractable water tank with a maximum capacity of 100 cubic meters. During the rainforest period, Su Lan keeps it filled with water every day. If there is no waste, the whole family can use it for most of half a year.
But other neighbors don’t have such good conditions. Except for Wang Tai and Yingzi who have large water storage tanks, the water in other neighbors’ homes is only enough for about a week.
If we don't find a sustainable source of water, we will all die of thirst.
Other players on the island are facing more serious problems and are already running out of water.
In just three days, people came to the house several times to ask for water.
Su Lan and the others disagreed to give it, but Yang Meifen was kind-hearted. Especially since some families had children, she couldn't bear to see the children suffer from thirst.
At the beginning, Yang Meifen was quite polite and would give a small bottle to anyone who came.
People who came to ask for water were also polite and sincere.
Two days later, Yang Meifen found something wrong. There were people surrounding her door all day long, asking for food and drinks, and they treated them as a charity.
"No, if this goes on, no matter how many supplies we have, they won't be enough." Yang Meifen felt sorry for the supplies.
"Mom, I told you not to be soft-hearted. Now, there are so many people surrounding us, which seriously affects our lives." Su Yang complained.
Yang Meifen clapped her hands and said in annoyance, "What should I do now?"
Ji Yang looked at the players gathered downstairs and said with a headache: "The most urgent thing is to find a water source. If we can't find a water source, we can only move."
Su Lan nodded and completely agreed. She would rather find a water source than move.
After all, there are deserts everywhere now, and moving is troublesome.
Just as they were discussing where to find water, rocks fell from the sky and landed on the terrace.
