I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 946 - 1034: What the Hell Is This Place

"Alright, since we have water now and won’t starve, the survival issue is resolved. We can now freely search for a way out."

Old Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Despite appearing calm just now, he actually had planned how to organize people to dig for groundwater. If it didn’t work, he would use his ability.

To be honest, this time going out, he was so relieved and effortless. With an all-rounder like Jing Shu around, it’s simply worry-free. Who recommended bringing Jing Shu along and gave an S-level rating?

Looking at it now, giving this girl Jing Shu a SSS rating isn’t excessive. With Jing Shu here, nothing unexpected!

Yang Yang was the first to take a sip of ice-cold beer, feeling cool in the hot desert, comforting enough to squint his eyes and say, "This beer sells for 25 Virtual Coins in the Middle East, for us, it’s 3 Contribution Values, not expensive, right?"

The old Taoist filled a big cup using his thermos, smiling with his yellow teeth showing: "Not expensive, not expensive, then I’ll reserve 100 cups. Don’t fight with me; I still have a group of people to support."

The old Taoist’s zombie team didn’t all come, only seven or eight did, and he felt melancholic: "Hopefully, we won’t be trapped for ten days or half a month. Although those villagers have my various fluids, if it’s longer, the stock runs out, and they’ll become zombies."

The old Taoist still has to accumulate more fluid these days; otherwise, when they get out, those zombies will suck him dry.

Jing Shu sighed too; Zhen Nantian’s team is almost here to meet with the nuclear bomb team. She’s not anxious for rewards but is eager for the gift Su Malie is bringing her, mysterious, and now trapped, can’t see it anymore.

Luckily, her supplies are sufficient. Besides the stuff in her space, she carries the Hulk with her, and there are many visible supplies inside it. She can live well even in the desert.

"These spaces generally come with Dark Energy. Finding Dark Energy would be good; its value is greater than mission supplies."

"But who could have thought, going out to get some goods, in just an hour’s journey, you could fall into space? The world’s spatial points are becoming increasingly unstable."

"Perhaps, really need to hurry up and upgrade the Magic Cube to a space above 9-dimensions, then fully integrate with reality. At that time, the space can also house people, not afraid if the world ends completely; at least, I’d have one last refuge."

Jing Shu is quite insecure, thus decided to practice the Magic Cube well tonight, upgrade it, and achieve inhabitable conditions soon.

Everyone in the Huaxia Team drank ice-cold beer to eliminate the heat and ate a can of beef.

Zhang Lang was called over by the logistics to produce some cockroaches, then the kitchen started preparing some cooked food, such as beer-braised cockroaches, red-braised cockroaches, cockroach cakes to ensure everyone’s energy.

And then started making plans.

Yang Yang had already made the plan with his casual notebook and gathered everyone in a shady spot, saying through a megaphone:

"Now, we have contacted the compatriots outside, coming to where we disappeared, looking for the entrance, and currently we first rest here, conserve energy, wait and see what the situation is with the compatriots outside.

If outsiders at the same location still can’t find us, then we’ll find the exit from inside.

I know, people might ask, isn’t it possible to find the exit if we keep walking in one direction as there’s no boundary wall here?

Let me make it clear to everyone, based on my experience entering this five or six times, even if you keep walking in one direction, it’s impossible to find an exit.

We’re likely influenced by various factors spinning in circles on the spot.

The good news now is that we can still communicate with the outside and can ask for external aid, by positioning then calculating the deviation, maybe the exit can be found."

Yang Yang said a bunch; most people didn’t understand, but somehow listening to Yang Yang gave everyone a sense of security.

Now with food, water, and outside contact, everyone’s mood wasn’t so tense anymore.

Yang Yang continued: "Now, what we also need to do is, be careful of the dangers in this space, although currently, it looks like just a desert, according to my extensive victim experience, there’s definitely hidden danger inside.

Just like in Mirror South Sea, once you get close to the central force, the body quickly dries up."

Everyone nodded.

Someone said, "But at least that side has water and plants, that’s why there’s danger. Not to say this desert, apart from sand, really endless without anything, what creatures can live in it?"

Mama Has reminded on the side, "Cough, cough, didn’t we encounter desert fish before?"

"That side was a lake before, those are mutated fish. Here, I haven’t even seen a blade of grass. This suggests, this is a dead zone!"

Hearing this, everyone quickly lit the area, apart from the desert, indeed not even a blade of grass, those cacti and succulents, nothing at all.

Everyone started to fall silent, realizing the problem’s severity.

Jing Shu said, "If a place doesn’t even have an insect or a plant — then this place is dangerous."

Yang Yang said, "Everyone hurry to see if there’s anything alive, whether it’s a bug, an earthworm, or a sand insect."

Everyone quickly began digging sand.

Even dispatched a motor team, searching around.

After searching, everyone’s hearts sank.

"Searched, nothing."

"Dug three feet deep, apart from sand, just rotten roots, probably old plants, all dried up."

"This massive desert, not even a bug’s life, is it too frightening?"

"What ghost place have we actually ended up in?"

"The problem now is, what’s the situation that makes this place unable to sustain even ants? This ghost place doesn’t even have an insect, what kind of danger can extinguish all life?"

Someone said: "This means, life can’t survive here."

"Then why can’t life survive here?"

Everyone looks at each other.

The atmosphere got a bit silent.

The unknown fear is the real fear.

Old Zhou waved his hand, he’s the only one who could stabilize the group’s mind now: "Alright, don’t scare yourself, as long as we can contact the outside, we can survive. Since this place is not suitable for living organisms, we just don’t live here; as long as we find a way out, it’s fine."
