Perhaps there was always a way out.
On the day before their supplies ran out, the crimson sandstorm that engulfed the world finally showed signs of weakening.
Hearing the rustling sound from outside that was gradually weakening, Ray Mingkai could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Even if the supplies were only enough for the two of them, as long as the sandstorm that trapped them in the cave weakened or even disappeared, there would always be a way out.
"The sandstorm has finally stopped!"
Lacus, who walked out of the cave, looked at the gradually clearing sky and patted her chest with lingering fear.
During this period of time, Lacus had been under a lot of pressure as she watched the supplies dwindle every day without being able to plan carefully.
Although Ray Mingkai did not have any complaints, Lacus knew that during this period of time, Ray Mingkai would intentionally or unintentionally leave most of the supplies for Lacus to use. As for himself, he would leave the minimum amount of food and drinking water.
"Mm. It's a pity that [Free] Gao Da can't use it yet. I don't know when State Zero will wake up. "
State Zero, who had eaten too much, fell into a deep sleep after escaping from that space. Even [Free] Gao Da could not be activated. This left Lei Mingkai with no choice but to use the "No. 11 Bus" to search the surrounding area with the cave as the center point.
"Do I need to stay here?"
Lacus was silent for a while before asking this question.
This was a question that they had to face.
The two of them did not have much supplies left, so they naturally had to give most of the supplies to Ray Mingkai who was going out to explore. Therefore, the remaining supplies would be used by Lacus who stayed here.
"No. Let's go together! "
To Lacus' surprise, Ray Mingkai immediately rejected Lacus' question.
"Go together? But we don't have enough supplies. "
Lacus was a little surprised, but for some reason, she felt a little touched.
"If we don't have enough supplies, we can go look for more. However, this place shouldn't be safe now. "
Ray Mingkai's expression gradually became serious.
There was no other reason.
He remembered that when he entered this world, he saw a lot of unknown objects enter this world together with the Tusked Lion Zero who escaped from the strange space.
Assuming that this world that had just been swept by the crimson sandstorm had life, or even a certain degree of civilization, they would definitely be interested in the fragments that fell into this world, or even the Long-Fanged Lion, and would send people to search this area.
When that happened, the cave where Ray Mingkai and Lux were hiding would most likely be exposed.
With that as the premise, Ray Mingkai had no idea what kind of attitude the nearby races and civilizations would have toward them.
Friendly?
Or was it malicious?
Everything was unknown.
For safety's sake, even if he ran out of resources, Ray Mingkai had to ensure that Lacus stayed by his side to deal with any possible situations.
Otherwise, it would be more dangerous for Lacus to stay here alone than for her to accompany him out.
As for State Zero?
Ray Mingkai didn't need to worry about this sleeping lion.
Even if the two of them were in danger, nothing would happen to this guy.
Half an hour later, the two of them who had packed up their things stepped on the soft sand that dyed the outside of the cave red and gradually walked away.
"Shashasha …"
The sound of shovels cutting into the sand rang out one after another, and shovels of red sand were lifted up by the shovels and shoveled onto the wheelbarrow beside them.
As the breeze blew, it was not only the red sand that was lifted, but also the beads of sweat that slid down their cheeks and wet the sand under their feet.
"Pa!"
The sound of a whip breaking through the air exploded in the wind, and a thin figure was hit to the ground, splashing up a burst of red sand.
"Work harder! You bunch of trash that can't even compare to sand! If it weren't for the delay in saving you guys, we wouldn't have been caught up by that damn sandstorm! We wouldn't have let those damn Chamber of Commerce get ahead of us! We wouldn't have to come here to dig sand!! "
The fierce-looking middle-aged man waved the whip in his hand fiercely and scolded continuously.
Beside him, Sambus also had his hands on his waist and was pointing at two slightly older guys who were much thinner than Sambus. His temper flared up, and he even lifted his leg to kick the guy in front of him, but he didn't expect that he couldn't kick the guy at all. Instead, he was pushed back by the guy and bumped into the middle-aged man holding the whip.
"Ah!! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!! Boss! I … I just … "
The fierce-looking middle-aged man turned his gaze and glared at Sambus fiercely. He raised his hand and whipped Sambus.
"Pa!"
Sambus fell to the ground.
"Get up! I asked you to look after this group of trash, not to show off! It was your idea to come here to dig sand! If you don't find anything valuable, you … "
The middle-aged man flicked his whip, then pointed at the group of people who were digging the sand. He looked at Sambus and said,
"When the time comes, you'll have to undergo alaya surgery like them!!"
As soon as he heard the term "alaya surgery", Sambus trembled all over, and his face was filled with fear.
The so-called alaya surgery was to implant an artificially manufactured high-precision organ that could strengthen the ability to sense space into the human spine. From there, one could sense space, strengthen the flexibility of space, and deal with complex data from machines. However, this type of surgery was extremely risky. Perhaps only two or three out of ten people could successfully transplant this type of organ, or perhaps not even one person could do it.
Moreover, only human children who were in the growing stage were eligible to undergo such a surgery.
For a middle-aged human like Sambus, undergoing this surgery was undoubtedly courting death!
Therefore, under the threat of death, the wound that was ruthlessly whipped by the middle-aged man no longer hurt. On the contrary, it constantly stimulated him to urge those people who were called trash by the man to dig out the layer of sand in front of them and dig out the mysterious object buried deep below.
Time passed by little by little.
When all that was left of the sandstorm was a smear of crimson on the horizon, the scorching sun in the sky gradually reached the point where it was a headache. The teenagers who were digging without any cover felt that it was unbearable, but they did not dare to stop at all. They did not even dare to ask for a sip of water.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man sat steadily under the parasol, watching Sambus stomping his feet and scolding those teenagers.
However, the peaceful wait was constantly exhausting his patience. Just as the middle-aged man's patience was about to run out, a tall man quickly ran up from the bottom of the sand dune next to him, attracting the middle-aged man's attention from the sand that he had gained nothing from.
"Hmm? There's such a thing? "
Listening to the subordinate's report, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly revealed a glimmer of light.
Pure white lions?!
This was a rare thing that had never appeared on Mars at all.
In the entire solar system, except for some rare lions on the prairie of Earth, other than some rare lions, the other places could only be seen in textbooks.
"Have you confirmed it?"
In surprise, the middle-aged man confirmed with his subordinate again.
"Yes! When we first found it, we didn't know what the beast was, and there seemed to be traces of human activity around the beast. I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns. "
The subordinate's actions were calm and rational, which made the middle-aged man very satisfied.
"Hmm. Call Sambus and let him bring these dregs. There's no point in digging this sand. "
If the pure white lion mentioned by his subordinate really existed, then as long as they captured it, they would definitely be able to sell it for a very satisfactory price in the outer circle world.
Not long after, in the dust kicked up by the tires, the motorcade carrying the group of exhausted youths set off again.
But this time, they were heading towards the cave where the so-called pure white lion was found.
Behind the hill not far away, a man and woman were slowly putting down the binoculars in their hands.
"Kai. The way they left is our cave. "
Lacus looked in the direction that the convoy had left in and exclaimed in surprise.
"Did they already discover our existence?"
"No. Maybe they discovered State Zero. "
Compared to this discovery, Ray Mingkai had an even more shocking discovery.
In the dark observation just now, Ray Mingkai found that the teenagers who were forced to dig the sand had something that caught his attention.
The vertical objects that were implanted from the back of the teenagers' necks and buried deep in their spines, which would be overlooked if one was not paying attention, made Ray Mingkai extremely concerned.
The sky was filled with red sand.
The skinny teenagers who were implanted with unknown objects that Ray Mingkai suspected to be familiar with.
These were all telling Ray Mingkai that this world was most likely a world that Ray Mingkai remembered.
"Kai, Kai, what are you thinking about? Those people have gone far away. "
Lacus, who did not get a response from Ray Mingkai for a long time, shook Ray Mingkai and tried to get Ray Mingkai's attention back.
"Ah! Oh. I'm thinking about something. "
After a pause, Ray Mingkai subconsciously rubbed his chin and said,
"Just now, I discovered something from those people that is worth paying attention to. Maybe, this can let me confirm which world we have landed in. "
Lacus showed a hint of surprise.
"Really?"
"Maybe! Let's talk as we walk! "
Judging from the direction, those people's target was most likely State Zero's existence.
No matter which world it was, the existence of a pure white lion was an eye-catching existence.
As long as one was a hunter, one would not let go of such a rare existence.
Even if this "hunter" was not a hunter who hunted ferocious beasts.
"Kai. What did you discover just now? "
Lacus laid on Ray Mingkai's back and asked softly in his ear.
In order to rush back to the cave as soon as possible, Ray Mingkai made the decision to let Lacus lie on his back and carry her all the way back.
Although the journey seemed a little far, Ray Mingkai, who was gradually developing towards the Inhuman stage, did not mind at all.
Even with Lacus, Ray Mingkai was still as fast as flying.
"I don't know if you discovered it. Some devices were implanted at the back of those young people's necks. That device is called the Alaya Device. It is an artificial organ that can enhance a human's ability to sense space. However, this kind of surgery is extremely dangerous. Out of ten people who underwent the surgery, perhaps two or three of them would succeed, but it is also possible that all of them would fail. Those who succeeded would naturally obtain a powerful ability to enhance their spatial perception, but those who failed would die on the spot. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would only live in a vegetative state. "
"How can it be? Then … how can there be such a terrifying surgery? "
In an instant, a memory quietly appeared in Lacus's mind like a phantom.
In this memory, Lacus remembered that she had come into contact with someone who had also been implanted with the same system.
That person was none other than Carrie Yura Ashar.
No.
The Carrie in her memory was not the Carrie who had fought side by side with Yakin Duwei not long ago.
Instead, it was the Carrie Yura Ashar who was much further away.
Affected by this, Lacus, whose memory was in a mess, shook her head lightly, causing Ray Mingkai to involuntarily stop in his tracks.
"What's wrong? Lacus, are you not feeling well? "
"No."
Lacus slightly retracted her hands that were wrapped around Ray Mingkai's neck and replied softly.
"I just remembered some things. I'm fine. Now, let's hurry back as soon as possible! "
Ray Mingkai, who did not suspect anything, once again took a step forward.
However, when the two of them were less than a kilometer away from the cave, a thunderous roar suddenly exploded in the desert.
"Not good! It's State Zero! "
The sound of the explosion shocked Ray Mingkai and he hurriedly increased his speed.
He was not worried that State Zero would be in danger.
On the contrary, he was worried that the group of people who gave him a sense of familiarity would be silenced by the sleeping State Zero.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the White Cat State Zero was usually carefree. If it was woken up in its sleep, it would definitely throw a tantrum.
It was easy to deal with a White Cat's tantrum when it was woken up.
As long as its fur was smoothed out, this fellow would definitely fall asleep again.
But now, State Zero was sleeping in the form of a pure white lion.
In addition, the gamma-ray burst from the Genesis had already filled it up …
"Boom!"
Another deafening explosion rang out.
As a column of smoke rose into the sky, a black shadow streaked across the sky and landed heavily not far in front of Ray Mingkai and Lacus.
In the midst of the flying sand and dust, Ray Mingkai's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly stopped in his tracks and quickly retreated a large distance.
"Kai! What did you discover? "
Lacus did not understand, but she felt that the surrounding atmosphere was not right, as if something ominous was spreading from the front.
"Gamma-Ray burst."
Ray Mingkai slowly said a term that made Lacus's expression change.
"Just now, it should be State Zero that released the gamma-ray stored in its body."
Without a doubt, under the terrifying power of the gamma-ray, Ray Mingkai's plan to let State Zero leave a few people alive was naturally dashed.
Fortunately, in the area filled with gamma-ray, a pure white figure was slowly walking towards Ray Mingkai and Lacus.
"Oh … I finally managed to sleep, but I was woken up again. Kai, where did we fall this time? "
