The next day
The golden sun drenched the entire desert.
"Oh my god! How did we even make it through yesterday?" Duan Yuxin stared at the endless expanse of dunes.
"We just muddled through somehow. Anyway, slept through it without really knowing what happened." Lv Fangxin said, her legs aching terribly.
"Come on, let's keep going. Today, we'll reach our destination—the Mars Rock!" Yuwei encouraged the group.
By now, everyone was becoming increasingly hot and thirsty, their vision blurred, and their limbs weak.
They couldn't imagine how people who lived here year-round managed to survive.
The wind rose, filling the sky with whirling sand.
Already tortured by the oppressive heat, the group now struggled to breathe and seemed on the verge of being buried under the sand.
"My foot is stuck!"
Li Zimeng screamed in panic, but the sandstorm was so fierce that no one could hear her clearly.
"I'm going to be blown away!"
