Chapter 553: Abandoned Camp

Gods are unreliable.

Although Wu Nini prayed to various gods in her heart, she had no intention of counting on them.

You still have to rely on yourself.

She climbed up the pile of rocks and looked into the distance, trying to find something other than the pile of sand.

The best thing, of course, is to be able to see the trees and the lake.

If not, it would be nice to see a cactus.

But all she could see was sand.

and sand.

To be more specific, they are sand dunes with similar shapes one after another.

If you look at it for a long time, your eyes may even turn yellow.

But in the end Wu Nini looked around tiredly and saw something special.

It's also a sand dune, but it looks a little different.

Is that...an anthill?

Considering it's a desert, it's most likely termites.

It was riddled with holes.

Nearby, there are also a large number of irregular circles made of sand.

Just like shallow reservoirs - of course, there is not a drop of water in them.

Wu Nini doesn't know why termites create such circles.

But they reminded her of fairy circles she had seen in the forest before.

That is a circle surrounded by mushrooms.

It looks amazing. Some are naturally occurring, others come from natural magic.

Mushrooms...

...I really want to eat mushrooms.

Juicy mushrooms…

…

So thirsty...

Want to drink water.

I also want to drink milk tea and coffee.

I want to eat fruits and vegetables with lots of water...

Want to eat ice cream to relieve the heat...

Wu Nini decided to visit the anthill.

She doesn’t know if termites can eat them anymore, or if they can be eaten to replenish moisture.

But no matter what, she had no choice.

If you don't want to continue wandering in the seemingly endless sand dunes, you have to go somewhere a little different.

It is indeed termites...

Wu Nini used the compass on her watch to guide her and successfully arrived at the anthill.

There, densely packed termites were busy crawling around.

Don't know why they are so busy.

Wu Nini wants to know, what do ants in the desert eat?

Just when she stopped to rest, Wu Nini's question seemed to be answered.

Because she saw a lizard "swimming" in a strange posture in the distance.

Apparently, it's dead. The ants lying underneath used excellent teamwork to carry them back to the nest.

Was the lizard killed by these termites?

Then will I also be covered in termites...?

Wu Nini thought of this and decided to stay away from them.

Although she was sure that she would not die from the termites, the bites were still very painful.

Formic acid injected into the muscle will cause long-term pain and may also cause redness and swelling.

Huh……?

What's this?

After the termites approached, Wu Nini noticed that the lizard did not die from the termites.

Instead, it died from a stab wound - a piece of rusty iron lodged deep into its belly. There was green blood dripping from the wound.

The iron pieces were inserted from above.

So, how do lizards die?

Did someone poke him with an iron piece, or did he accidentally roll over and land on the iron piece?

Or was he stabbed by an iron piece falling from a height?

Wu Nini felt that it was necessary to investigate the matter. Maybe you can find someone to help. No matter how hard it is, you can still find a machine or a camp. Then there is hope of getting supplies.

So she immediately followed the direction the termites had come from.

Fortunately, the wind is not blowing now.

Otherwise, the ants' fine footprints and a slightly stronger wind can instantly cover them up in the flowing yellow sand.

Wu Nini kept staring at the ant tracks walking on the ground, and her eyes became particularly tired.

But looking at the monotonous yellow sand is better for your eyes than looking at the snow all the time.

The latter will suffer from snow blindness.

Ants...

...It is really powerful to be able to withstand things dozens of times heavier than the body.

Although I was able to do it for a while, I soon ran out of energy.

...When I was a child, I often squatted next to the ant holes and watched them.

Occasionally, Wu Lili would catch ants while I was distracted and secretly stuff them into my collar... It always startled me!

She has always been so naughty...

While Wu Nini missed the naughty sister who caused her trouble all day long, she also began to imagine whether eating a mouthful of termites would relieve her hellish thirst.

Probably not.

They don't look like they have a lot of water in their bodies.

When she was a child, before she became the familiar of Mei Hong, she did eat ants out of hunger - she just grabbed a handful and stuffed them directly into her mouth.

It's very sour and astringent, but it doesn't actually taste disgusting.

The protein content is very sufficient.

However, the feeling of fullness is too bad.

Even children have to eat a lot to feel less hungry.

Probably because of the combined pressure of high temperature and thirst, every step Wu Nini took felt like a whole century had passed.

Fortunately, the distance the ants actually carried the lizard back was not too far. She followed the trail for about a kilometer and saw an abandoned camp in the distance.

It is surrounded by wooden walls, half of which have been crushed by sand. The gate collapsed and was buried deep in the sand. It could only be barely recognized through the corner of it that emerged from the ground.

In the wall, there are bonfires, two cars, two tents and a stone house. There are some items scattered around that have been abandoned for an unknown period of time.

Originally, there was an awning above.

But it collapsed long ago and was mostly covered in sand and dust.

Wu Nini saw at a glance that there was a square pool in the doorless stone house, as well as wooden ladles and iron buckets containing water.

This made her suddenly feel excited from DNA.

water!

There is water to drink!

Great...I didn't expect to find water so quickly!

Yi Xing, wait for me! I will bring a lot of water back right away - no, no, there are two cars here. Maybe not only will there be spare fuel, but I can also drive one of them back to find him!

Then, bring him here and rest for a few days!

We can still take a shower!

Wu Nini hoped that he would be conscious enough to take a bath by himself in the past few days.

After all, although basically no one can be sure, Yoshiyuki seems to be a man - when Erina excitedly announced that she planned to marry him and have three children some time ago, she looked confident. You must be confident enough to succeed.

... It’s possible to say that Xing is a boy and a girl at the same time.

Or maybe they used the magic potion that makes lilies grow. Eunice can make this kind of thing... Xu Yezhou's elixir is the same, it has all kinds of strange medicinal effects.

Imamura's succubus friends will print special magic tattoos on their bellies. This can also be done.

Wu Lili also wanted to ask her to get a tattoo with different effects, but Wu Nini stopped her and severely criticized her.

After all, she might tire her master to death by doing this. This is irresponsible and cat-girl behavior.
