Chapter 555: Quicksand

Wu Nini decided to investigate this abandoned camp.

She had an ominous premonition.

She was too focused on the stone house with the pool before, so she didn't take a closer look at the illusion around her.

You're so careless, Wu Nini... She muttered reproachfully in her heart, criticizing herself: Next time you encounter this kind of situation, you must be calmer!

In fact, this camp is not very big, so if you investigate it carefully, there is not much to see.

She first checked the two tents and found a little ammunition, high-strength wine, a flashlight, a small medicine box, dried meat, cheese, pickles... and a large round bread that was hard enough to be used as a shield.

She decided to take them with her when she drove back here.

No water?

Not at all?

If you drink alcohol, you will only become more dehydrated...

Wu Nini knelt on the ground and looked expectantly at the small medicine box.

She wishes there was bottled water.

It's no surprise that water appears in a first aid kit; it's helpful for cleaning wounds and administering medications.

Especially those canned water ones.

Whether it is a tin water can or a soft can, it is suitable to be packed in this small box.

But it's a pity. no water. There are no nutritional drinks either.

There are only medicines to treat heat stroke, two antidotes, cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine.

The anti-inflammatory drug is cephalosporin. Only half a board remains.

Wu Nini felt that they probably just drank.

After all, just drinking wine is no fun, having nodules is enough.

Next, Wu Nini went to look at the two cars, looking for any spare gasoline or an oil suction device that could draw gasoline out of the tank.

The structure of that kind of thing is very simple. Just connect one end of the hose to the car's fuel tank, and the other end to your own fuel tank.

Then, squeeze a device like a pneumatic ball to suck out the oil.

Because the pressure is often not enough, it is often necessary to use the mouth to assist in sucking. If you are not careful, you will get a mouthful of oil.

Hmm... nothing noteworthy in the car...

There seems to be no spare oil.

Is it really true? Or am I not looking carefully? There shouldn't be any oil. If this place had been guarded in the past, there should have been backup fuel in case the car was turned into scrap metal.

Wu Nini thought like this and observed her surroundings again.

Her attention kept deflecting, and finally landed on the iron bucket four or five meters away, which was almost completely buried in yellow sand.

That... seems to be a gasoline barrel?

Why is it buried so deep in the ground... The camp doesn't look like it has been abandoned for so long.

Could it be that there is quicksand there?

A lot of quicksand cannot be seen even if you get closer.

Wu Nini felt that what she saw now was one of them. She felt that she must proceed with caution. Take small steps to avoid falling into quicksand pits.

No one can help her now. Once you fall in, you may struggle and sink deeper.

Wu Nini decided to check nearby to see if there was any way to pull the gasoline barrel out.

However, just after she took a few steps closer, a strange noise suddenly came from the ground in front of her.

Wu Nini's animal ears also trembled slightly.

It wasn't that loud. The ground didn't shake either. Without Wu Nini's keen hearing, she might not have been able to discover the attacker's plot.

Wu Nini not only noticed it, but also felt it moving quietly towards her.

...And she also put her hand on the hilt of the sword vigilantly, ready to counterattack at any time.

When danger comes, the body, weakened by lack of water, will still burst out with enough energy to survive this critical moment.

A huge purple sandworm suddenly emerged from under Wu Nini's feet, splashing a large amount of stones and gravel - and Wu Nini jumped away the moment before it emerged, just in time to avoid this fatal attack and did not fall into it. A large mouth with sharp teeth.

While Wu Nini jumped back, she covered her eyes with her left arm to avoid being blinded by the sand.

As for his right arm, he grasped the blade of the sword tightly, listened to the sound, and blindly blocked the sharp iron pieces that flew away when the sandworm landed.

It seems that the lizard was killed by the sandworm that came out of the ground before - it smashed the machinery and spattered fragments.

The unlucky lizard was stabbed like this.

The place where the sandworm lurks is just as Wu Nini guessed, it is a pit of quicksand.

It twisted its body and sprayed acid and several tentacles at Wu Nini. But neither his plan to corrupt her nor to drag her down into the quicksand pit failed.

Both moves were easily broken by Wu Nini by dodging and cutting with her sword.

In her opinion, they were not as troublesome as the trick that the sandworm used next - that is, sucking in a lot of sand into its belly and then spitting it out towards Wu Nini.

This move itself is not lethal. But their impact was too large, like a small dust storm.

Wu Nini was in it, unable to open her eyes or breathe.

The sandworm took advantage of this opportunity, twisted its fat body and jumped up, swung its tail and hit Wu Nini. After it was knocked out, it bit big mouths one after another, bounced and twisted its body, and launched a series of pursuits.

However, Wu Nini closed her eyes and relied on her hearing to dodge perfectly. At the moment when the sandstorm ended, she seized the opportunity to dodge sideways and swung her sword to attack the sandworm, drawing a long line on its body. Kouzi.

But it was too fat and its skin was very tough. This wound seemed serious, but in fact it caused no effective trauma at all. It only made the sandworm become more violent under the stimulation of pain.

Faced with its sudden increase in speed, Wu Nini had to find a safer counterattack gap before attacking due to her weak physical strength. After all, the sandworm's physical strength is not unlimited. Sooner or later, its speed will slow down, or its flaws will be exposed due to long-range attacks.

She was still active in a high temperature environment despite being dehydrated, which directly caused the scene she saw in front of her to become blurry. It even turns black from time to time. It seemed like he would faint from heatstroke at any time.

This directly led to a mistake in her second attack.

Originally, she wanted to use a sword gun to aim at the mouthpart of the sandworm when it opened its mouth to spit out acid, and shoot the bullet into the enemy.

No matter how tough the opponent's external defense is, the inside of the body will be much softer. And when spitting acid, the inside of his throat may be exposed. A single bullet lodged in the mouth could kill this giant insect.

But as she was about to shoot, her vision became blurry. She was so dizzy that she couldn't even accurately shoot at the mouth of the sandworm. She couldn't even tell where the insect in front of her was - its body had a double image, as if it had a phantom clone.

And this has nothing to do with magic. It was just her physical reaction that was causing trouble.

Wu Nini's shot missed and she was almost sprayed with acid and turned into a dead cat lady.

Fortunately, she soon found her next opportunity to take action.

This time, she didn't let go—but not with bullets.
