A half-distorted face full of scars suddenly appeared in front of his eyes
…
The drone camera ball flew directly to a position close to the ground, giving a wide-angle close-up of the worms all over the ground.
The row of worms closest to the camera is so high-definition that even the fine and dense whiskers and feet under the abdomen can be seen clearly, and the shocking feeling cannot be overstated.
The live broadcast room exploded——
[I’m gone]
[Brother Lu is about to lose me as little cutie (not yet) ——Little Cutie gave the anchor 1x top-quality wagyu beef]
Lu Liran’s face was ugly, but it was not because of these unexpected existences on the ground, but because of the traces he was looking for, which were tightly covered because of these things.
Shu Hua was like an ant on a hot pot, moment by moment exchanging two legs standing on the ground. He could hear the constant “creak, creak” sound of worms being trampled under his feet.
As soon as he saw those things, he thought of Qin Qi’s calf, and his whole body was not well.
Lu Liran looked at him, walked over and pressed his shoulder, motioning him not to move.
He pointed to the ground, and the desert locust blood worms on the ground hadn’t even developed those sharp cutting claws, they were just larvae that had just broken their eggs, so they were nothing to be afraid of.
Only then did Xian Dan and Shu Hua pay attention to the details, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Shu Hua felt ashamed of how he jumped, his face was flushed red.
Xian Dan looked directly ahead of them thoughtfully, thinking in his heart—— since these worms in this place can’t threaten them at all, why was Mr. Lu so nervous just now?
At this moment, the shouts of “Brother Shu”, “Brother Shu” sounded again, and this time the voice seemed to be closer to them.
Xian Dan suddenly realized that it was not them who were looking for the voice, but the owner of the voice was looking for them.
In normal times, Xian Dan might not think too much, but combined with the reactions of Lu Liran and Ke Ji, he couldn’t help but think about it carefully, and suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart——
If the owner of this voice really wanted to find them, why did it just keep shouting “Brother Shu?” Why haven’t their calls been answered?
Thinking about it from another angle, Xian Dan suddenly felt that these shouts sounded like a response to catch them, to confirm their position!
The hairs on the back of Xian Dan’s neck stood on end.
His pupils shrank fiercely, he held his breath, and did not respond to the voice.
After the voice did not hear a response, it quickly and tirelessly called again——
“Brother Shu”, “Brother Shu”!
The voice became sharp and rapid.
Xian Dan and Shu Hua listened carefully. Just now because they heard “Brother Shu” out of the blue, they both subconsciously acquiesced that it was calling Shu Hua. Later, because of this layer of subconsciousness, the beautification of that voice continued to deepen, but now, the more they listened the more strange it became.
Not only did that voice not resemble anyone they knew, even the tone of the “Brother Shu” sounded a bit weird.
Both words were shouted in a very rapid and short tone, not like a human voice.
Xian Dan and Shu Hua couldn’t help but look at each other, and they both saw the uneasiness and fear of the unknown in each other’s eyes.
Especially Shu Hua, when he thought of his name being called out by an unknown creature, he felt unspeakable nausea and fear, he rubbed his arms twice and swallowed his saliva.

Lu Liran paused, they all forgot about Qin Qi who was left behind on the camel horse.
Xian Dan said that he and Shu Hua would go and fetch Qin Qi and the camel horse, but before they had time to go a few steps, they suddenly heard Qin Qi’s weak and trembling cry——
“Captain? Brother Shu? Where are you…”
Qin Qi opened his eyes on the back of the camel horse, and what he saw was a thin mist. He immediately thought of what he encountered before he fainted, and his face turned pale.
Before he had time to think about it, he felt a dull pain in his calf. He wanted to get up to check, but found that he was firmly tied to the back of the camel.
Since he was on the back of the camel, it meant that he was found by the merchant fleet, but at this moment, he was left alone on the back of the camel horse, and there was nothing around him except the other two camels.
It seemed like he was the only one left in the world.
Qin Qi was frightened from the bottom of his heart, and couldn’t help but shouted again: “Captain? Brother Shu——”
“Brother Shu!”, “Brother Shu!” A hurried shout sounded quickly, as if responding to Qin Qi.
The voice quickly approached Qin Qi’s direction.
Lu Liran and the others changed their expressions when they heard the sound, and immediately ran towards Qin Qi.
Qin Qi thought it was one of his teammates who had also gotten separated, and hastily returned: “Who is shouting? Is it Brother Old Six? I am Xiao Qi! I’m here!”
The voice was quiet for a second, and then it sounded again—— “Brother Shu!”
Qin Qi shouted: “Xiao Qi! It’s Xiao Qi!”
After a while, another voice sounded, this time it was——“Xiao Qi!”, “Xiao Qi!”
Qin Qi was overjoyed, the voice sounded like the captain, he quickly shouted: “It’s me! Xiao Qi!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his mouth was suddenly covered.
His eyes widened in shock, and he was about to struggle subconsciously, but he saw a half-distorted face covered with scars suddenly appearing in front of him, he gasped in fright, and immediately recognized it.
The fear in Qin Qi’s eyes was immediately replaced by surprise—— Mr. Lu!
Soon, the other three heads also appeared in his field of vision one by one—— Mr. Ke, Captain, Brother Shu, all there!
Qin Qi was relieved, as long as he wasn’t alone.
He blinked hard, not understanding why his mouth was covered.
Lu Liran quietly raised an index finger at him, signaling him to keep quiet.
Qin Qi blinked again, expressing that he understood.
Lu Liran slowly let go of his hand.
Qin Qi clenched his fists uneasily, seeing Mr. Lu’s appearance, he knew something was wrong, it must be something bad.
“Xiao Qi!”, “Xiao Qi!”
The voice couldn’t find Qin Qi, so it shouted unwillingly.
Qin Qi’s eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Xian Dan—— Wasn’t the Captain calling him? But the Captain kept his mouth tightly shut by his side.
Lu Liran shook his head slightly at him, then repeated the warning action of silencing again, and then waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him and move carefully.
[Oh crap…I declare that Brother Lu’s desert dungeon is my lifelong nightmare TAT]
[I don’t want to hear this voice anymore, aaahhh, goosebumps all over the floor!!]
[For the first time, I really hope that Brother Lu has a team and a script TAT]
[??? Isn’t this a script??? Impossible!! This was clearly pretending to be a ghost to scare the audience]
[Hehe, I hope so]
[+1, I hope it’s a script, I don’t even want to fight newcomers. I was so panicked that I didn’t even dare to go to the bathroom]
Qin Qi was still tied to the back of the camel horse, no one thought of untying him, even he himself forgot it.
He straightened his back nervously, lay motionless on the back of the camel horse, and stared wide-eyed in fear—— That’s how he is, the more scared he is, the more he has to open his eyes to see, if he close his eyes, it will only make him more scared instead.
He watched the fog above his head twist slowly, floating like a ribbon, and something suddenly seemed to flash through the thick white fog.
Qin Qi’s pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn’t help puffing up his chest slightly, and stretched out his head to take a closer look.
“Xiao Qi!”, “Xiao Qi!” The voice suddenly exploded, right above Qin Qi’s head!
Qin Qi suddenly covered his mouth, suppressing the sound of almost gasping for breath.
Lu Liran and the others were instinctively ducked, and they all looked up.
There seemed to be something in the fog, but there seemed to be nothing.
A group of people stayed in place cautiously for a few minutes, until there was no movement, and then Lu Liran made a gesture to move on.
They’re still on the dunes, going down.
It’s just that the sand dunes under their feet are as solid as rocky ground, and it’s not like walking on a sandy slope at all.
A group of people walked quietly and cautiously, the voice rang once or twice occasionally, but it was getting farther and farther away from them.
Shu Hua heaved a sigh of relief, which meant that they finally got rid of the tracking range of that unknown thing.
[Ha! Let me just say, the anchor must be in a script, that thing can’t even show up, unless special effects are used, this will cost a lot of money]
[And say, what pure field adventure. Zero team and zero script, then showing me this as soon as I come in? Is this what you call zero script? Do you take the audience for idiots?]
[Then I beg you to leave quickly, don’t come to Brother Lu’s live broadcast room]
[This is the first time I don’t want to slap these brain-palsy bastards in the face, Brother Lu, don’t meet that thing, I don’t want to see what that thing looks like at all!! —— TremblingTremblingTrembling gifted the anchor 1x White Truffle]
[I just hope the next journey goes smoothly and everyone returns safely—— SaltedFish YuYu gifted the anchor 1x Buddha Jumping over the wall]
Lu Liran didn’t care about the live broadcast room. At this moment, he even forgot about the fact that he was still live broadcasting, and just observed the surrounding situation wholeheartedly.
As they went down, the fog became thinner. Through the wispy mist, they could gradually see the outlines of the distant scenery—— The graceful tree shadows form a forest, which is the most unimaginable scenery for desert travelers!
Qin Qi was fixed on the camel’s back and couldn’t move. He could only see the silhouettes of reflections in the fog. He couldn’t figure out what those shadows were for a while, and only saw a group of unidentified creatures approaching them, and his entire face turned pale without a trace of blood.
Xian Dan then whispered excitedly in his ear: “It’s the shadow of the trees! It’s the oasis!”
Qin Qi’s eyes widened suddenly.
Shu Hua was also excited, but now they no longer see the oasis as the treasure in the map or the legends from the nomads, they only wanted water, and a safe haven without fog, where they could camp and rest.
They were lucky, they hadn’t even reached the shadow of the tree, when a pool of clear water appeared in front of their feet, and they could still see small fish swimming in it. It’s running water!
The mist lingered on their feet, and the visibility was still poor without a rough outline to be seen, but Xian Dan and Shu Hua, who were extremely thirsty, couldn’t help lying down on the edge of the pool, and leaned in to drink.
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Ke! This water is clean! You can drink it!” After taking a few sips, Xian Dan felt a sweet aftertaste in his mouth, and immediately turned to call out Lu Liran and Ke Ji.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Hua next to him suddenly turned his head and vomited on the sandy ground with a “wah”.
Xian Dan was so startled that he hurriedly went to see him: “What’s wrong?!”
Shu Hua retched while pointing to the other side of the pool.
Xian Dan looked over, and the vast mist gradually dispersed due to the breeze blowing.
A bit of red blood fell into the pool, and the red blood fainted along the ripples, gradually dissipating in the water.
Xian Dan’s pupils shrank slightly, and looked up along the drop of red blood——
The first thing that caught his eye was a hand that fell by the pool. It was a person lying there, with a face turned sideways, half of the head had been smashed, the left eye had been pecked to pieces, and the mouth was slightly opened, with blood foam kept splattering down from the mouth.
Xian Dan’s eyes turned red all of the sudden: “Old Six!?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a fat flying insect almost 30 centimeters in size covered with sharp barbs. From the back of the man emerged a head, and then behind a pair of thin and large transparent wings vibrated at a very fast frequency.
There was a pair of huge protruding eyes on its head, and the green eyeballs are almost the same color as the carapace on its body.
It puffed out its chest cavity and made a sharp sound of “guji, guji“.
Everyone tensed up in unison.
The few people looked at each other, when suddenly the corpse moved abruptly, as if the person was still breathing. Xian Dan’s eyes widened and he whispered: “Old Six?!”
The bug puffed out its huge round chest again, and this time, a sound came out of its mouth——
“Old Six!”, “Old Six!”
The voice sounded a bit like Xian Dan’s.
The author has something to say:
Xian Dan: My great fucking heart
Sunnyshies: The desert arc ain’t finish yet, but I’m about to go and have an appointment with Mawar this week! Ah, if Mawar enter our country, it’ll be called Betty!
Incoming super typhon guys! Be prepare! Especially to those affected! Nail the roof so it won’t fly! Always see flying roof every time, and the sound of the roof colliding with something is especially scary, makes you think everything will be peeled off, and fly off towards you.
It’s going to flood again! Sigh~
Wow, I’ve heard of birds being master at mimicry but bugs? That was horrifying and real thrillling tho, I’m also surprised that the camel wasn’t scared and ran off somewhere.
Thanks for the chapter~~~ ( ≧∀≦)ノ
well at least its not a walking, talking corpse…? Also the descriptions kinda sounds like a fly, annoying and a pest!
Nooooooo, reanimated dead bodies are my worst nightmare. My fear of dead bodies transcends any other fear tbh. Well at least a fly is tiny, not as scary as a larger reanimated corpse.
haha very true xD yes I cannot read about walking, talking corpses because it just generally give the zombie and apocalypse vibes and I’m really not a fan of the mc always living on the edge of life in a ruined city with no luxury 😔
Quick. Whack it with the machete !
Thank you for nightmare
This damned bug reminds me of a cougar.
They have a tendency to mimic humans screams. So, if you hear such a sound in the mountain but gets no answer, it may be a cougar. So scary!
I hope we’ll have a comforting arc after this one, I need to be soothed. XD
Thanks for the chapter, as always < 3
I didn’t mean to answer you ahah, my bad! ♡
Quick. Whack it with the machete !
Thank you for nightmare installment

Mawar is passing by our place and it’s making the already hot season become even more humid and hot… Dying here😫

Ah im so dead from fear… When Qin qi pulled that thing to himself i almost lost my soul. So scary(༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ) but how can these idiots still run to water like that? After all those things i would even be scared of fish.
Reminds me of Annihilation. Ugh, that bear gives me the creeps.
