—5 Hours later—-
The two units were driving for a while and they seem to be trapped in a loop because of the strong fog of sand in the air. Wuxie and the others couldn't see clearly where they were heading but could only trust their instincts and follow the instructions of the guides that they brought with them.
Wuxie was analyzing the situation and trying to figure out how to get to the devil city with this sand storm. He thought about something for a while and proceeded to take action.
— Wang Meng, what is our status?— Wuxie asked a young man that was coding while trying to find any signs or found where they were. A while ago, he lost some connection and couldn't locate where they were.
—I lost connection, Captain and the system is not functioning well, I can't locate where we are heading or where we are, we can only trust our instincts now.—-
Wuxie thought so.
—where did everyone go?—— the driver said while he scanned the storm and the storm infront of him while driving. He just blinked and the cars disappeared.
The doctor also notices this and starts looking with his sharp eyes in all directions.
Wuxie knew something wasn't right since the sand storm hadn't vanished since they stepped on the living sands. He knew that the others may have taken different directions and got lost on the way. But he also hoped that some of them had found the right direction and were heading to their destination.
He was about to contact the other parties when a sound could be heard.
—-Wu-xie.....W-wu-X-xie...—-
Wuxie was able to recognize the voice that was coming out of the walkie-talkie, it was Pangzi.
—- Pangzi.... What is your status?—
The walkie-talkie was not functioning well and he could barely hear Pangzi on it.
——W-we are t-tr—ap.... T—-he—re is some—thing....with...t—he...the s-st—orm...San——- Before Pangzi could even finish his sentence on the walkie-talkie, a loud sound was heard and Wuxie's companion, Alex, the German shepherd dog, start barking and growling multiple times at the direction of where they were heading. The vehicle that Wuxie was in and his team unit was just hit with something strong, the driver, Jiang Yue Lou, lost control of the car and it flipped on them. The car started rolling on the sands and everyone in it was trying to hold themselves onto something.
The vehicle that they were in fell on a big sand hole. The last thing Wuxie could remember before he lost consciousness was seeing some long roots coming out with the sand storm and later vanishing on the living sands.
—————————————————————
Qiling who had his eyes closed and was lost in his thoughts was interrupted by a sound he heard outside from the vehicle he was in. He knew he was the only one that could hear it since the others didn't seem alert, the driver just kept driving and Pangzi was sleeping.
