Shi Sheng didn't expect that the celebrity didn't come after her. She wandered around the area for a while but didn't see anyone.
Shi Sheng guessed that the celebrity might be preparing for something big.
"That …" The tanned little boy was standing not far away from Shi Sheng with a few pieces of unknown food. He looked at her timidly, "This is the food that Captain Jian asked me to bring to you."
Food?
He hadn't sent food to I for the past few days. What's wrong with him today? Why did he send food to I?
"No," Shi Sheng refused.
The boy's lips moved as if he wanted to persuade her, but he didn't say anything in the end. He hesitated for a while and approached her carefully. "They said that you're a deity?"
Shi Sheng said with a straight face, "Yes."
The boy took a few steps closer and lowered his voice as if he was afraid of offending her. "Can you prove it?"
Shi Sheng snorted and walked towards a dark passage. "Why should I prove it to you? It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not."
The boy held the black food and paced around for a while before following Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng walked a little fast and the boy couldn't keep up with her. The further they walked, the darker it got. They couldn't see anything. The boy stumbled and bumped into the wall a few times.
This passage led to the entrance of the upper level. A thick layer of sand had accumulated there. Shi Sheng walked out of the entrance. It was afternoon outside and the sun was shining brightly, baking the earth. The heat was like the waves of the sea.
"You … What are you doing up there?" The boy stood at the bottom and asked in a muffled voice.
"Looking at the scenery."
The boy looked like he had been struck by lightning. There was yellow sand everywhere. What scenery was there to look at? Was the thought process of a deity different from that of an ordinary person?
Shi Sheng stood under the yellow sand and pondered about life. The sand hit her face painfully, but she didn't react. Her eyes were searching for something in the yellow sand.
[Host, what are you doing?]
Shi Sheng looked solemn. "Feeling the noise of the wind and sand."
[Speak human language.] [Host, I'm in despair.]
Shi Sheng wiped his face and said, "Something's coming."
Although she didn't know what it was, she sensed danger. Intuition was useful most of the time, so Shi Sheng decided to run away.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that the Shi Sheng was about to leave, the little boy chased after him in a few steps. As soon as he came up, he was filled with a mouthful of sand. "Ahem … Where are you going? Don't wander around … Ahem, it's easy to get lost. "
The little boy's voice was somewhat broken by the wind and sand. Before the end of his voice could be heard, it had already disappeared.
Shi Sheng's figure was blurred by the wind and sand. It was as if he was looking at flowers in the fog. Due to the lack of nutrition all year round, his figure began to sway as if he could be blown away by the wind and sand at any time.
When the boy wanted to turn back, it was already too late. He could not find the way up. The only thing he could see was the blurry figure in front of him. He gritted his teeth and followed the blurry figure.
…
It was still afternoon, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Thunder rumbled, and it looked as if it was going to rain at any time.
Countless yellow sand formed a giant tornado that swept across the sky. The momentum was so majestic that it seemed as if it was going to destroy the world.
The tornado was coming from the direction where Jian Yi's team was at. With such a strong tornado, the subway station that had been in disrepair all year round would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Jian Yi's team had also discovered the tornado. They had been crawling in the yellow sand for so many years, so it was impossible for them not to know how terrifying the tornado was. Therefore, they began to evacuate as soon as they discovered the tornado.
The tornado came too quickly, so they couldn't take everything with them. Everyone went into the battle lightly. They only took the most important food and water with them. The group of people ran in the yellow sand.
Shi Sheng, who had run first, eventually turned back. She discovered that there was also a tornado coming from the other side, and it was even more terrifying than the one from the other side.
The little boy followed her like a roly-poly toy. He could be swept away by the wind at any time.
Both teams met up on a sand dune.
"Xiao Yuan, why are you here?" Jian Yi was furious when she saw the little boy. They had wasted a lot of time looking for him just now.
"I …" The little boy's body swayed, and his face was full of guilt.
"Captain Jian, let's leave this place first," the people behind reminded her. "The tornado is coming soon."
"Hurry up and come back!" Jian Yi's face turned cold, but it wasn't hard to tell that she was worried about the little boy.
The little boy quickly returned to the team. Jian Yi glanced at Shi Sheng. The wind made her clothes flutter, but she wasn't affected by the wind at all. She was as steady as a rock.
"You can't go over there!!" The little boy yelled at the top of his voice.
Jian Yi was stunned at first, but she quickly understood what he meant. "Go that way."
The group of people supported each other to prevent themselves from being blown away by the wind. It was extremely difficult for them to walk.
Shi Sheng casually walked beside them. If it weren't for the sound of her skirt fluttering in the wind, no one would've thought she was walking in the middle of a garden full of blooming flowers.
Some of the people from the previous team were walking beside Shi Sheng. Although the wind was strong, they could still recognize Shi Sheng.
"Why is she still alive?"
"How would I know …"
"Could she be a ghost?" Some of them were fearful. Shi Sheng wasn't walking very fast, but she was still some distance away from them. With the wind and sand blocking her, her figure was blurry. They couldn't see her clearly, like a ghost.
They saw it with their own eyes …
How could she appear here again?
"Impossible. I saw Captain Jian looking at her just now," someone retorted.
Shi Sheng's speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes she walked in front of them, and sometimes she walked behind them. She was no different from a ghost, and the group of people were so scared that they almost peed their pants.
If you didn't do anything wrong, you wouldn't be afraid of ghosts.
"Ah!"
A scream was suddenly heard, and the wind and sand cut it into an even sharper sound. Then, a black figure was swept into the sky and sucked into the tornado. In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.
After the first person was unlucky, the second person was quickly sucked into the tornado in the same way and disappeared in front of everyone.
This happened so quickly that they almost couldn't react.
After the second and third scream, they finally came back to their senses. They held hands and formed a line to prevent themselves from being swept into the sky.
"Aren't you a god?" Jian Yi had appeared beside Shi Sheng. The wind and sand had almost blown her face out of shape.
Shi Sheng looked at her calmly through the wind and sand. "So what if I am?"
"Then you have the ability to stop this wind and sand, right?" Jian Yi asked.
Shi Sheng was speechless. If it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, he might be able to save it. However, if it was a natural disaster, how could he save it?
