In the next few minutes, Zhou Chen was not found by the two foreigners behind, but encountered a storm in the desert: a sandstorm.
In other words, all six survivors encountered a sudden sandstorm.
The wind of the sandstorm was not very strong, but the visibility was obviously reduced. I could only see more than 200 meters. Walking in the wind and sand, my face was quickly covered with fine sand, and the eyes, mouth and nose were also very difficult to see. Easy to get into the sand.
Because Zhou Chen was wearing a mask that covered his mouth and nose, his situation was better than the others.
He quickly took off his underwear again and put it over his head, allowing his eyes to observe the outside through the slits in the light-colored underwear for protection.
In fact, the more professional approach at this time is to find a shelter to lie down and hide his face, but Zhou Chen doesn't know when the wind and sand will stop. If circumstances permit, he still has to move on.
"This bit of wind and sand is probably just an appetizer... It feels like some things in this desert are going to leak out..."
Wearing a mask around his head, walking in the sandy desert with some difficulty, Zhou Chen knew in his heart that the difficult time of survival had just begun, and he would encounter even more uncomfortable things later.
"This wind blows away the footprints left by the people in front of you..."
Soon, he discovered the first not-so-good change, and the footprints of the forerunner he had walked behind and begged were gone.
Upon seeing this, he took out the iron rod from the backpack space and began to use it as a pathfinder to test the way forward.
His operation is to prevent some special terrain in the desert, such as quicksand.
In some of the movies Zhou Chen had watched in his previous life, the quicksand was extremely terrifying, and could swallow a person who was trapped in it from head to toe in the blink of an eye.
But Zhou Chen, who has watched popular science programs, knows that due to its density, real quicksand will actually only sink to the waist, making it difficult for you to move, and will not wipe you out.
However, the things in this survival are not good. Zhou Chen felt that if quicksand appeared here, it might be unscientific, so be careful.
Walking along the road signs of the bones in the sand and dust like this, Zhou Chen felt that his whole body was hot and his strength was rapidly draining, and even his head became a little groggy.
There seemed to be no other survivors around him for a while, I don't know if they were too far away, covered by the dust in the air, or hiding somewhere.
He walked with the iron rod like this for a while, and he heard a rustling sound that was very different from the sandstorm, which made him immediately alert.
"There should be a monster coming... I really picked a good time..."
Upon seeing this, Zhou Chen slowed down and began to pay more attention to the surrounding situation.
Then, after about five seconds, he found out:
In the desert about thirty meters away from him on the side, there were several long ridges approaching him, and it seemed that something was wandering towards him from the sand.
Seeing that there was not only one opponent, Zhou Chen quickly squeezed his physical strength and ran forward, because he didn't want to be caught up with all the monsters and fell into a siege.
The underground monsters chasing him seemed to have some special sense organs. They soon discovered his escape and accelerated their speed through the sand. Some of them no longer even wandered in the shallower sand. Going directly to the depths of the desert, Zhou Chen couldn't perceive their movements.
Zhou Chen was overtaken by a monster after running for about ten seconds.
The monster suddenly rushed out of the sand under Zhou Chen's back, and the two long teeth like sharp knives twisted towards Zhou Chen's neck like scissors.
Zhou Chen has been in a state of high alert at this time, and his perception ability is also operating at full capacity. Naturally, he will not be attacked so easily by that monster.
I saw him bending down agilely and rolling to the side neatly, perfectly avoiding the monster's attack.
After he rolled, he stood up again, and the iron rod in his hand hit the side of the monster's skull with all his strength.
Bang! ~
The dull voice sounded instantly, and with the splash of some unknown liquid and carapace fragments, the extremely ferocious monster fell directly into the desert.
Zhou Chen only saw the appearance of this monster at this time. It was more than two meters long. It was as thin as a human waist, but it was flatter. The whole body was covered with some kind of carapace, and there were many belts on the abdomen. The short feet with sharp blades look like a stubby large centipede.
The carapace of its head is actually quite strong. If it weren't for Zhou Chen's current strength, it would be difficult for him to explode its head with a single blow even if he used an iron rod.
[Passive Predator Trigger: You have looted the desert knife insect's passive skill "Hanging I". Do you want to merge it? 】
"Fusion!"
Zhou Chen immediately chose to fuse the passive skills of the monster, and then ran towards the direction of the bone signpost.
He just ran less than five meters, he stopped abruptly and jumped. When a ball of gravel burst up on the ground in front of him, the iron rod swept directly into the gravel and hit the contents to ten. More than a few meters away, like dried noodles that fell on the ground, they broke on the sand and gravel on the ground.
As soon as he died of this monster, Zhou Chen rolled on the spot again, avoiding another desert knife insect that penetrated from under his feet. He rolled to one side before he stood up, and the iron rod in his hand pierced like a spear. He came out and pierced the skull of the monster that had just drilled out of the ground.
At this moment, another desert knife worm came out two meters away from him. The desert knife worm saw him lying on the ground. The short legs in his abdomen immediately swayed and rushed towards him. The two sharp-edged fangs at the mouth of the head directly clamped to his head.
Between these electric flints, it was too late for Zhou Chen to pull out the iron rod inserted in the monster's body. A round shield appeared on his right hand instantly, facing the monster's long teeth, and the huge explosive force directly The monster stood up and flew out.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Chen quickly got up, pulled out the iron rod on the skull of the dead monster in front of him, and then rushed to the centipede monster that had just turned over after being hit by the iron rod and the round shield.
The centipede monster was very cunning. Seeing that Zhou Chen took the initiative to attack, the two canines on his head quickly opened and closed, and the large number of short feet in the abdomen swayed at a high speed. In the blink of an eye, a piece of sand and gravel drilled in and disappeared.
Zhou Chen didn't panic at the sight, stood still, and then suddenly backed away at a certain moment. The buckler in his hand hit the ground like a sledgehammer, splashing a circle of sand and dust, and then the iron rod slanted from the side. Inserting into the depths of the gravel, brought a piercing whine.
[You kill the desert knives and get a reward: 1 bottle of purified water (Bronze Beginner). 】
Following the death of this last monster, Zhou Chen burst out an item reward.
