This was Scarlet's situation. She might be a little intelligent, but to be honest, she couldn't be compared to the people present. Her fear of heights was something that Laura and the others didn't expect.
This was just the beginning. Not only were her limbs and bodily functions frozen, even her consciousness seemed to be spinning slower and slower. The power of absolute zero was infinite. It captured and froze all matter that passed through this harsh cold. Nothing could escape.
This included even souls and thoughts.
Perhaps this was death. She had tried her best to get closer to Wang Zhong. In fact, Scarlet also knew that Wang Zhong definitely had a future that was different from ordinary people, one that she was completely unable to reach. This had nothing to do with emotions. Ever since humans discovered the Dimensional World, experts were unable to stop studying the mysteries of dimensions. One's innate talent determined one's life. However, she just wanted to watch as long as possible. She wanted to see how far Wang Zhong could go, and where he could go.
However, this was an extravagant hope.
Scarlet had no choice. The people around her disappeared one after another. Everyone was very satisfied, and soon, she was the only one left. What awaited her was not evolution, but death.
This kind of situation had happened in the Dimensional World before. The reason why it wasn't used on Wang Zhong was that the Federation knew that if Wang Zhong came here, he would definitely be the first to have an epiphany and definitely not the one who would collapse.
In the golden desert, it would be very cool to watch a movie and eat smoothies, but for people who were almost dried up, this was a nightmare.
The yellow sand surged, and a palm-sized mutated lizard popped its head out of a sand hole. It smelled a meaty aroma. Although it was very light, for a species living in the desert, any edible food would never be wasted. Its two green eyes rolled and looked around vigilantly.
Everything was calm. It saw a palm-sized sand scorpion that had been dead for an unknown period of time. Under the sun and the dry temperature of the desert, even its shell had curled up.
The small mutated lizard seemed to dislike it a little. Sand scorpions were definitely the most unpopular creatures in the desert. Although they weren't very powerful, mutated sand scorpions usually carried terrifying venom. Moreover, there was not much meat on the body, and the shell was extremely hard. The meat also had an extremely sour and rotten taste, and contained a certain degree of poison. It was obvious that the cost was not proportional to the reward, so other species were usually not willing to provoke them. For a corpse like this that had been dead for god knows how long, it was likely that even the meat in the shell was long gone.
After eliminating the danger, the little mutant lizard still wanted to come out and take a look. What if there were still leftovers in the corpse? It could be considered a snack.
However, just as it crawled out of the cave, a sense of danger descended upon it. A pair of large human hands descended from the sky and directly pounced on it.
Swish swish swish swish!
The little mutated lizard screamed in fear. Although it was too young and had never seen a creature like a human before, it would never believe that the other party had come with good intentions.
Boom boom boom boom!
Accompanied by the crazed cries of the little mutant lizard, the sand layer under the ground suddenly shook.
"Be careful, the big one is coming!" Sister Hong leaned on a sand dune dozens of meters away. Her Soul Sea had collapsed, so she definitely couldn't participate in the battle and hunt for food. Fortunately, she hid far away to avoid causing trouble for everyone.
In an instant, the yellow sand tumbled, and a two-meter-long giant lizard roared and rushed out of the cave. Its body was huge, like a crocodile, and it had a thick cuticle. Its eyes were dark green, and there was a yellow mutated crystal on its forehead. Its green eyes were reflected in the light, making it look extremely terrifying.
Wang Zhong, Gong Yi, and Reynolds were all lying in ambush in the surroundings and had been waiting for a long time.
At this moment, a huge runic knife slashed out. Reynolds was the first to attack. The mutated lizard sensed danger and raised its head, but the sharp blade had already cut into its neck. However, it was blocked by the thick cuticle and was unexpectedly unable to cut it in half. Reynolds, who had used up almost all of his strength, had also used up all of his strength.
Fortunately, Wang Zhong had already rushed out and used brute force to strangle the lizard's neck. At the same time, Gong Yi's knife stabbed into the eyes of the mutated lizard. The mutated sand lizard let out a blood-curdling scream. Its vigorous vitality made it struggle wildly on the ground, and even Wang Zhong, who was strangling it, was sent tumbling a dozen meters away. Reynolds and Gong Yi pounced on it, and the three of them and one monster were entangled.
Following the laws of nature was only for survival.
In the end, the mutated sand lizard twitched and breathed its last breath. Looking at the results of the battle in front of them, there was only a yellow mutated crystal on its forehead. It was just a rank 2 mutated beast. Normally, it wouldn't even be enough for Wang Zhong and the others to flick their fingers, but at this time, the three of them were already exhausted.
However, they didn't feel depressed. This was already a gift from God. With food, they could also replenish some water. The only water source was for Sister Hong, whose injuries were the most serious. Gong Yi and Reynolds directly cut the mutated sand lizard with their knives. Everyone sat around and started eating, their mouths full of blood.
It was fate that a group of people could gather together normally, but to be able to stay together in a desperate situation was a sign of character.
This was already the tenth day in the desert. They had been moving in the north direction since the beginning, but they hadn't encountered any oases, cities, or even people.
The huge geomagnetic changes had made it difficult to distinguish things near the equator. Then, they discovered that even the sun in the desert couldn't be used as a reference for direction. After all, it was separated by strong radiation, and sunlight often refracted here. Perhaps even the sun was similar to a mirage. A few days ago, they discovered that the sun had risen from the west. There was even a day at noon when the sun was still directly above their heads, but a few minutes later, it had deviated from the west. It was impossible to use common sense to judge.
Wang Zhong and Gong Yi felt that it was very likely that they had walked in vain for the past few days. Before understanding all this, they had always judged the position of the north according to the direction in which the sun rose in the morning. Since the position of the sun was constantly changing, it was very likely that everyone had been walking in circles.
Losing one's sense of direction in the desert was quite a scary thing. They could only rely on their perception to identify a direction and walk in it. They didn't know whether it was east or south, west or north, but that was no longer important.
Even if they were unlucky, it was better to walk all the way to the south of Tutankhamun than to die in the desert. Anyway, no matter which direction they went, as long as they didn't go in circles, there would eventually be an end.
