On the other side, Dai Xiaomei and Yao were also forging ahead with difficulty.
Compared to Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian, they had recovered most of their equipment with the help of the observers.
Their progress was relatively faster.
The two observers silently followed them.
"I say, why are you following us! Can't you help find Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian?"
Dai Xiaomei sounded bored as she spoke to the observers.
The single eyes of the observers flashed with red light, showing no reaction at all.
"You're a pig!"
"You're a big stupid donkey."
Dai Xiaomei deliberately cursed the observers, but they still followed them silently.
"They are like me, they can't speak!"
Yao observed the observers. These machines had strong self-awareness and would only act according to abnormal events.
As for what the streamers did to them, the machines would not react.
No matter if you insulted them or begged them, the result was the same.
The only thing that could be determined was that the machines' programming would help those they monitored under certain circumstances.
At this moment, Dai Xiaomei suddenly froze and pointed to the dense forest in the distance.
She saw the same thing as Zhou Niannian: the dense forest in the distance suddenly disappeared and turned into a desert.
There was nothing in the desert, no birds or beasts, no rivers, nothing.
However, there were some white things that looked like the bones of animals that had died of thirst.
Dai Xiaomei was dumbfounded. How could the dense forest suddenly turn into a desert?
Now, Dai Xiaomei stopped and began to worry.
Their original destination was the dense forest because it had abundant water and food, where they could resupply.
As a result, the dense forest suddenly turned into a desert.
There was nothing in the desert, only strong winds and sand, and the risk of getting lost.
Even with Dai Xiaomei's lack of exploration experience, she wouldn't be foolish enough to go into the desert for supplies!
She sat on the ground in despair and said softly.
"Let me think!"
The audience in the live broadcast room began to discuss.
They were all panicked because Dai Xiaomei's decisions were almost never reliable.
"When Dai Xiaomei thinks, even God laughs."
"Stop laughing, didn't you see the forest suddenly turn into a desert? It's so scary."
"This secret realm is indeed a bit terrifying, it can change its form."
"But I think it's even more terrifying to let Dai Xiaomei decide the future direction."
"We should let the wolf child make the decision."
Just as Dai Xiaomei was hesitating, Yao patted her shoulder.
Yao pointed resolutely into the distance.
"Jiang Fan! Zhou Niannian!"
His eyes were firm, believing that Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian would definitely go there.
"That's right, that's right, Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian will definitely go there."
"Even if it's hell, we have to go."
Dai Xiaomei also gained confidence. As long as Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian were there, even if it was Avici Hell, she was sure she could get through it.
Yao and Dai Xiaomei agreed and embarked on their journey again, now equipped with two backpacks.
When the observers had dug up the bodies of a man and a woman earlier, they had also dug out their personal backpacks.
Now Yao and Dai Xiaomei were fully armed, with trekking poles, sweaters, and goggles.
Even though the road was still bumpy, Yao and Dai Xiaomei supported each other and quickly descended the snow mountain.
At the foot of the snow mountain was the desert that was originally a dense forest.
Logically, there should be a transition zone between different terrains.
For example, from a snow mountain to a desert, there should be a stretch of Gobi, a dry land covered with ice and snow.
But here, the snow mountain and the desert were separated by an invisible boundary.
There was no transition zone; the snow mountain and the desert were completely different worlds.
On the snow mountain side, there was no trace of the desert's heat; it was bitterly cold.
"Haha, we've arrived!"
Dai Xiaomei was extremely excited and immediately rushed over.
But once in the desert, Dai Xiaomei, wearing full mountaineering gear, immediately began to sweat from the heat.
She quickly retreated to the snow mountain, intending to take off her clothes before going over.
As a result, on the snow mountain side, after taking off a little clothing, Dai Xiaomei felt like she was about to freeze to death.
Dai Xiaomei was stunned. This was not fair!
The audience in the live broadcast room found it amusing.
"Haha, Dai Xiaomei is such a big idiot!"
"You can't blame Dai Xiaomei for being stupid. If it were you, what would you do?"
"If it were me, I'd take off half my clothes, then stick half my body into the desert, and use the other half to smear snow on myself."
"Brilliant, brilliant, brother, you are truly a genius."
"You flatter me, you flatter me!"
As a result, Dai Xiaomei and Yao actually did just that.
Dai Xiaomei entered the desert first, and Yao threw a large number of snowballs at her to cool her down.
Then Dai Xiaomei took off her clothes to avoid heatstroke and fainting.
Yao was less particular. His body was sturdy, so he changed into summer clothes in the snow mountain and then entered the desert.
As soon as he entered the desert, Yao couldn't help but exclaim and pointed to the sky for Dai Xiaomei.
Dai Xiaomei hadn't paid attention to the sky before. Now, when she looked up, she couldn't help but let out a cry.
"My god!"
Some sights were invisible from the snow mountain side.
The sky in this desert had not one sun, but three.
These three suns seemed to be directly above the desert, spewing red flames.
No wonder the desert was so hot, even the stones on the ground were emitting smoke.
The snowballs Yao threw evaporated in just one second!
Moreover, there were strange smiling faces drawn on the suns.
Dai Xiaomei shivered.
"Why are there faces on the suns? Could they be some kind of monster?"
"Calm down, it's probably a natural phenomenon caused by solar flares."
At this moment, Yao also showed the demeanor of a team leader.
He had learned these things from Jiang Fan.
"You stay here for now, I'll go back to get water."
Dai Xiaomei followed Yao's instructions and packed her things.
Who knew if there would be snow mountains or anything else ahead? These mountaineering tools could not be discarded for the time being.
Yao immediately took his water bottle and returned to the snow mountain area, filling the bottle with ice and snow.
The desert with three suns was three times hotter than a normal desert. If there was no water, people would really die of thirst.
After Dai Xiaomei finished packing everything, she shouted with hope.
"Zhou Niannian, Jiang Fan!"
A strong hot wind blew across the desert, and there was no echo.
Dai Xiaomei was still not giving up and shouted.
"Zhou Niannian, Jiang Fan, we are here."
The surroundings were still silent, only the sound of the wind blowing across the desert seemed to mock Dai Xiaomei.
Dai Xiaomei felt dejected and sat directly on the ground.
