Chapter 120: More Communication
It was only when they had completely lost sight of the oasis in the darkness that they all felt safe enough to sit down and rest.
"What on earth was that? Can anyone tell me?" No one answered Lu Yi’s question, not even the knowledgeable Professor Luo. After all, each had their own areas of expertise.
Jie chimed in, "This can’t be true. It feels like we’ve been fighting monsters all the way without leveling up. It’s so unfair."
"Unfair, huh? Look over there," Gu Fan pointed to another group, who were also fleeing in a panicked state. "They lost quite a number of members this time, while we didn’t lose a single one."
Everyone fell silent at his words. After the event, Gu Fan and his group were still shaking with the aftermath, but the other group was heard sobbing, it seemed they had lost someone significant.
The following problem was challenging. The desert nights were especially cold, especially for Du Jun and the others, who were shivering after climbing out of the water. They couldn’t go on like this, they had to return to their tents and use their sleeping bags for warmth.
However, the camp was near the lake, making it dangerous to casually return. But they had no better options, so they had to proceed.
"Let’s go." Under Gu Fan’s lead, they advanced slowly on their hands and knees, believing that the monster in the water wouldn’t be able to see people lying on the ground. They were able to approach the lakeside camp smoothly.
Next, it was quite simple to move the tents gradually backwards. As the tents were not heavy, it didn’t require much effort from a few people.
The tent pegs had not yet been spread, so that saved them the trouble of collecting them. The other belongings were not many. The group moved the camp orderly, encouraging the other group to follow their example.
When the camp was moved to a safe location, Du Jun, Lu Yi, Jie, and Xu Haowen didn’t hesitate to crawl in and refused to come out.
