(Two in one) “Is the person you’re looking for over there?”
…
However, Lu Liran looked at Ke Ji, nodded slightly and said to Ke Ji: “This tree is called Buddha Belly Oil Artemisia, and this kind of gum grows when it meets water. Since there is a thick layer of glue near the root, That means there must be water near here! You’re right!”
The people in the merchant fleet were stunned when they heard his words, but felt that this sounded unreliable: “How come this kind of gum grows when it meets water. If there is water down here, the hole you just dug there should have water.”
“Stop talking, save some saliva and energy, there is still a way to go…” The other person tugged at the speaker’s arm listlessly. Just as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, staring straight at Lu Liran.
He saw that Lu Liran started digging directly after he finished speaking. He didn’t really pay any attention to the nonsense that the two merchant crew members said.
His action of digging the sand pit was already very proficient, and a small hole seven or eight centimeters deep was dug out in just a few strokes.
Lu Liran stabbed down hard with the dagger, and saw a jet of water burst out suddenly, and the water continued to flow upwards.
The clear, impurities-free water quickly moistened the surrounding sandy soil.
“Water…it’s water!!!”
The merchant fleet exclaimed hoarsely.
Immediately, the dozen or so members of the Merchant Fleet surrounded him with force, jealously staring at the small hole in front of Lu Liran that was about to fill up.
They hadn’t had access to water for almost a full day, and the strings of their sanity almost snapped at the sight of a pit of water.
Water, the gold of the desert, the source of life!
A team member eagerly took out all his belongings—— A fully functional outdoor watch, an animal fur blanket, and some dry food—— he handed them to Lu Liran, and asked earnestly: “Can I have a drink? Just once!”
Lu Liran didn’t take those things. Even if these things are not as precious as water in the desert, they can still save lives.
He faintly nudged towards the tree around: “Dig it yourself, I’m not the only one who can dig it out.”
The team member was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, he staggered and rushed to the side and began to dig.
In just one day, the dryness of the desert and the eager desire for water were almost engraved into their subconscious minds, so that the first moment they saw the water, everyone thought that it was the only one, and they only had the idea of wanting to own it, but they didn’t think about anything more.
Xian Dan also reacted at this time, he thanked Lu Liran in a hurry, and immediately organized the rest of the team to dig sand and find water in an orderly manner.
“There’s water…there’s water!”
“We’re saved, that’s great. I thought I couldn’t make it through today, but it’s okay…”
They were lying at the edge of the sandpit, looking reverently at the clear, pure water slowly filling the sandpit, while looking from time to time in the direction of Lu Liran and Ke Ji.
In the eyes of the merchant fleet, these two people are undoubtedly like the savior who suddenly appeared in front of them, bringing a miraculous source of water.
[Brother Lu is awesome!! Ke Meiren also knows a lot!! They found water!!]
[Ei, Brother Lu, why didn’t you accept that person’s things? It was originally discovered by Brother Lu and Ke Meiren, so they should be rewarded]
[Agreed, Brother Lu said that the water in the desert is the most precious thing, more expensive than gold! Do these people really not mean to give something??]

“Congratulations to the live broadcast room ‘Survival in the Wilderness: Giants Under the Black Wind and Sand’ for becoming the number one live broadcast room in the ring this week.”
“Congratulations to anchor Lu Liran for becoming the host of this week’s ring, and the platform will reward you with a three-day opening screen recommendation.”
Lu Liran was stunned.
The audience in the live broadcast room also saw it, and they all congratulated and cheered——
[My treasure anchor is about to stand up!! ——VANGUARD gifted the anchor 3x Sukiyaki pot]
[Fuck, protect my Brother Lu!]
[Come on!! Give Brother Lu the best pomp! —— TheLanguageofWinterWorms gifted the anchor 1x top-quality Wagyu Beef]
Xian Yu blinked, he didn’t expect this to happen at first, he just wanted to express his gratitude and excitement, so he smashed a bunch of Buddha jumping over the wall without thinking, but he didn’t expect it—— That’s it? That’s all it took to get into the ring?
Alright, Brother Lu will be the host of the live broadcast in the future!
Lu Liran then heard his own system beeping——
“The host received more than 500,000 rewards from the live broadcast room, and was awarded the title [ Dan Stone Reserve ], reward the host body repair progress +1%, the current host body repair progress: 95% (the frequency of attacks seems to be getting lower and lower)”
Lu Liran breathed out: “Thank you SaltedFish YuYu for the 700 Buddha jumping over the wall, and thank you for the sukiyaki pot, and wagyu beef from other audiences. After I finished speaking, I felt even hungrier.”
[Hahahahaha, Brother Lu, Brother Lu look for something to eat from the merchant fleet!]
[Brother Lu is not easy, there’s this feeling of like being promoted to the principal of a kindergarten]
[Speaking like this, I suddenly have a good visualization…]
Lu Liran drank the water slowly with the ready-made straws that he had made before. The water was filtered by charcoal and grass balls, so it was cleaner and clearer than the water coming out of the sandpit, so it can be said it’s exquisite drinking water
He invited Ke Ji to come over to drink too, never thinking of folding this “straw” in half to make two.
The two drank slowly, lest they will not be able to adapt after being thirsty for a long time.
After drinking water, Lu Liran filled his and Ke Ji’s canteen again, and then lay down in the sand pit under the shade of the tree to enjoy the cool, and rest.
But he didn’t rest well, his ears were full of chatter from the merchant fleet——
“We stayed under this tree for almost two hours, and we didn’t realize that there would be water under it…”
“Who is that man? Captain Xian seems to respect him a lot?”
“He must be very powerful, otherwise how could he find out that there is water here! Much better than our guide!”
“Bullshit guide, shit!”
“Drink the water well, it’s so delicious…”
There were whispers from the merchant fleet members around, and one after another, they had no intention of stopping their discussion at all.
The corner of Lu Liran’s mouth twitched, and he heard the sound of “gulp, gulp, gulp” from the other side drinking water, which showed that these people were really thirsty and drank very fast.
[They drank too much, they must be thirsty]
[Eh, Brother Lu said before that you can’t drink too fast or you’ll throw up?]
[Ah yes, oh. If you didn’t mentioned it, I’ll just forgot about it]
“Ou——” A member of the merchant fleet vomited. There wasn’t much in his stomach, and all he spit out was the clear water he drank just now.
This retching sound seemed to be contagious, and one after another, the people around vomited as well.
“What happened?!”
“Could it be that the water is poisonous! The water is not clean!?”
The corners of Lu Liran’s mouth twitched, he rolled his eyes, and then closed them to rest.
Xian Yu hated the iron for not becoming steel, they drank water so urgently, now they wonder if the water in the house is not clean.
“Drink slowly, it’s no wonder, you’re so anxious.” Xian Dan said to the team members, he frowned and then greeted the others, “Go and see if there is anything in the supplies on the camel horse that can be taken out to hold water, fill it with water and go.”
“Yes!”
Xian Dan took a look at Lu Liran, and saw that Lu Liran’s eyes were closed, he paused slightly as he was about to walk over, and immediately was keenly aware of a warning gaze falling on him.
He subconsciously raised his eyes to look over, and saw the beautiful Omega who had been by Lu Liran’s side looking over faintly. His gaze was dispensable and nothing threatening, as if the pressure before was an illusion of his own.
Xian Dan looked at the handsome man suspiciously, then at Lu Liran, in the end he didn’t bother the other party’s nap.
Lu Liran just closed his eyes and considered how to go next.
This was the second day of him coming to the desert. The original plan was to notify the airship after finding the sand cocoon, and order them to leave at any time, but judging from what Xian Dan said just now, the communications were also down.
He tried his own optical brain communication in private, but there was also no movement.
In this way, he will definitely have to stay in the desert for five days—— The original plan was that no matter what, he would definitely leave the desert on the fifth day at the latest. There was no need for him to communicate with the airship, the airship will wait for him to appear at the waiting point all day on the fifth day—— since the communication function is down, if he doesn’t show up at the original location on time, the pilot may think that he died in the desert, and there is no contractual obligation to wait for him within the exceeded time.
In other words, if he didn’t arrive at the appointed place before the end of the fifth day, he might never be able to wait for the support from the airship, and he had to get out of Salba by himself.
If so, it’s a nightmare come true.
His eyeballs under his shallow eyelids rolled restlessly from side to side twice, then they opened suddenly.
Lu Liran saw Ke Ji sitting on the side, as if looking at himself.
“Having a nightmare?” Ke Ji asked.
“Hey, I didn’t sleep.” Lu Liran said, looking at the sand dunes rising and falling in the distance, “I’m thinking about what to do if the communications are down.”
[Ah, the communication is down? No wonder the team didn’t call the search and rescue team]
[Brother Lu’s live video camera still works??]
[Brother Lu’s equipment is really awesome! In the last live broadcast, I remember that a big guy said that Brother Lu’s camera ball is very powerful, the kind that is the treasure of the shop]
[Hahahaha, Brother Lu’s equipment is a little short]
Ke Ji squinted his eyes slightly when he heard his words, and suddenly looked at the drone: “Is your live broadcast room still working normally?”
Lu Liran was taken aback, then nodded: “Normal.”
Ke Ji couldn’t help looking at the camera ball, which was also a communication device. How could this drone camera ball ignore the negative effects of this weird desert?
“If necessary, you can ask the audience in the live broadcast room to help you get in touch.” Ke Ji said.
Lu Liran’s eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: “It makes sense.”
[Can!! I can!!]
[+1 Many people are powerful! It’s always helpful!]
[Brother Lu, you’re welcome!!]
Seeing that Lu Liran woke up, Xian Dan walked over quickly. He smiled at Lu Liran embarrassedly, and said: “Well, I want to ask if you can ask the fans in your live broadcast room to call the rescue team?”
Lu Liran nodded, but soon realized that the merchant fleet had a flaw, he frowned and said: “It’s no problem to call the rescue team, but the optical brain can’t be used, so you can’t accurately locate your position. Even if the rescue team comes, they still have to look for a needle in a haystack.”
Xian Dan was taken aback when he heard his words, he didn’t expect this.
Their reliance on optical brains and terminals is too deep, which is a common problem of almost all modern interstellar people, and it is also because these two are too powerful and omnipotent, and there has never been a situation like this at all.
Xian Dan’s expression turned ugly. With an inexperienced team like them, after a day and night full of death traps, they had completely given up the idea of leaving Salba by themselves.
Their only hope is to wait until rescue.
But now, Xian Dan is not sure whether they can wait for rescue without the precise positioning of the optical brain.
After personally experiencing the power of Salba, he even wondered whether the rescue team would encounter misfortune on the way to find them.
Because here, all the high technology they rely on for their livelihood has become waste, and without these things, their ability to survive is almost zero.
Sunnyshies: There, there, I got impatient, the author brush past Brother Lu’s camera ball. Hahaha.
Ohhh 95% recovery!! 96% now!! Hopefully our poor MC recovers well ❤️❤️
Thanks for the update!!
Going from saving 1 person to many
Gracias por la actualización no la esperaba pero la obtuve😁😁gran trabajo
So is the whole troop going to follow him to get the cocoons then to the extraction point? Or can he leave them all at the oasis and then gather them up later? Hahahaha! Crazy trekking if everyone goes!!! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️
Thanks for the chapter! Smoke signals? Giant SOS on the ground?
Why does that merchant group seem so incompetent like some newbies without any experience?
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
Can’t the use other means of positioning?
Glad the live camera was hand-waved, lol.
Since electronics don’t work, it can be assumed the desert has some kind of electromagnetic interference that blocks them. Probably an ore or mineral underground, if I had to guess since airships can still fly. Theoretically, an electronic device with enough shielding would still work in this environment – which would hand-wave explain the golden-treasure camera.
fuck that system is gold, system is all mighty, system can revive/heal people, system can spawn item, system can create missions, system can poke a threat, what can’t system do? tsk, tsk, tsk electromagnetic interference? No problem at all, a wave of the hand and system will block that for you (advertisement for systems, to inquire for more information click on the REPLY button and dial 911)
