After everything was ready, it was already early morning. Jiang Yuyao parked the car in a sparsely populated area and entered the space. Jiang Yuyao looked at Mu Youling who was sleeping soundly in another room, and walked over to sit next to her.

He murmured, "If I had known earlier, I would have only installed it in one room." He bent down and kissed Mu Youling gently on the forehead. Mu Youling, who was sleeping soundly, didn't notice at all.

"Have a good rest." Jiang Yuyao also went to the room opposite to rest. The alarm clock rang on time eight hours later. Jiang Yuyao was only dazed for a moment.

The next second, his eyes were clear. He stood up and saw that Mu Youling was still sleeping, so he left the space first.

It was just getting light outside and the distant skyline was beginning to turn white.

Jiang Yuyao drove the car towards the Qaidam Desert, and checked every few minutes to see if Mu Youling had woken up. Finally, when she checked for the sixth time, she found that Mu Youling had woken up.

He pulled the car over, entered the space and brought her out.

"Are you feeling better?" Jiang Yuyao took out a bottle of water and a tray of steaming dumplings from the space.

The moment he saw the food, Mu Youling's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Sister Yuyao! Then I won't be polite!"

"Eat slowly, it's hot." Jiang Yuyao was very happy, but she didn't show it and continued to start the car and set off.

"Have you eaten?" Mu Youling took the time to ask Jiang Yuyao.

"I've eaten." Jiang Yuyao checked the time. "It will probably take another two hours to get to the Desert Management Center. If you're bored after eating, you can play some games."

"Yeah!" Mu Youling took out his newly bought tablet and watched TV series while eating. For this purpose, Jiang Yuyao generously bought 20 tablets, 10 high-end computers, and dozens of memory graphics cards.

I downloaded all the TV series, animations, documentaries, etc. on the market.

In the car, listening to Mu Youling laughing at the funny parts of the TV series, Jiang Yuyao felt indescribably satisfied. She couldn't help but wonder why she didn't meet her earlier in her previous life.

In this way, we soon arrived at the edge of the Qaidam Desert. There is a small management center here, and most of the people who came here were recommended by nearby residents.

After parking the car on the side of the road, Mu Youling put away the tablet without knowing when, and looked at the dozen people outside, "Sister Yuyao, judging from their attire, are they going to explore the desert?"

Jiang Yuyao was still packing her backpack. When she heard Mu Youling's words, she looked up and then lowered her head back to pack her backpack. "Yeah, it looks like it."

"Here." Jiang Yuyao took the lead in packing a small to medium-sized backpack. "There are many people here, so carrying a backpack won't arouse suspicion."

After listening to Jiang Yuyao's words, he took the bag from her hand, "Ah, Sister Yuyao, you prepared everything for me. I'm so sorry, I forgot about it because I was so asleep!" In fact, it's not Mu Youling's fault that he forgot.

Ever since she met Jiang Yuyao and found Mu Youling, she has been overtly and covertly not letting Mu Youling do anything, and Mu Youling's daily things are all kept in the space. If he wants anything, he can only ask Jiang Yuyao. After a while, she got used to it, and Jiang Yuyao also enjoyed it.

"It's no big deal." Jiang Yuyao pretended to be angry, "If you keep being polite to me, I'll be angry!"

"Okay, Sister Yuyao, meeting you is the blessing I earned in my previous life," Mu Youling said jokingly. She also found that since meeting Jiang Yuyao, she became much more cheerful than before.

I didn't know how to joke before, but now I can joke with Jiang Yuyao. Is this what it feels like to be friends? That's great! Mu Youling thought, I have a good friend too!

"Okay, I'll get off the car and ask." Jiang Yuyao was amused by her. She put on a sand-proof mask and got off the car. She avoided the group of young people and said to a middle-aged man inside, "Hello, do you have a map of the desert?"

The middle-aged man said in a lame voice, "Yes, 200 each." After Jiang Yuyao paid, he gave her the driving route map and said, "Little girl, the desert is very big. Do you want me to help you find a guide?"

Jiang Yuyao declined politely, "No thanks." Then she walked back to the car.

The dozen or so young men noticed Jiang Yuyao when she got off the bus. They thought she was a man because of her height, until she spoke, they realized she was a girl.

Because Jiang Yuyao was wearing a dark field combat uniform and his head was covered tightly with a helmet-style mask to protect against wind and sand, and because he was so tall, people subconsciously thought he was a man.

Among the sixteen people, there are seven girls and nine boys, and they are obviously travelers who love outdoor adventures.

Back in the car, Mu Youling asked curiously, "How was it?"

Jiang Yuyao took off her mask and responded, "We have the route map for vehicles. We will follow the route map to the center first, and then we can hike."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Yuyao, who was about to drive away, saw two men walking towards their car from the opposite direction. At the same time, Mu Youling also noticed it and stopped what he was doing.

One of the men walked up and knocked on the glass of the cab. Jiang Yuyao opened it a crack and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

The man didn't expect Jiang Yuyao's attitude. He glanced through the window and saw no one else in the car except a little girl in the passenger seat. He smiled and said in a friendly manner:

"Girl, I see you are going into the desert too, why don't you find a companion so that you can look after me. My name is Zhuang Yuzhou."

"No need." Jiang Yuyao said, closed the car window, started the car and drove away.

Zhuang Yuzhou didn't expect Jiang Yuyao to be so disrespectful. Before he could say anything else, he was covered in the dust from the rear of the car. His anger gradually increased, and he cursed in his heart, "You stinky woman, I'd better not let me meet you again, or you'll be in trouble."

The man behind Zhuang Yuzhou asked, "Senior Zhuang, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Yuzhou smiled again, "It's okay. Since the girl doesn't want to go with us, let's get ready to go into the desert."

It was not the first time that Mu Youling saw Jiang Yuyao being so cold. "There are so many people here, why do they still come to ask us?" She was a little puzzled.

Jiang Yuyao explained to her slowly, "Looking at their equipment and number of people, they should be planning to cross the desert. One more person means one more insurance.

Although we have an experienced local guide, the desert changes every day and there is no guarantee that there will be no unexpected changes."

"I see." Mu Youling looked like he had learned a lesson, but what Jiang Yuyao didn't say was that once danger occurred, one more person would mean one more trouble.

The two of them drove towards the center of the desert following the approximate route on the map. Not long after they left, Zhuang Yuzhou and his group followed closely behind.

After driving for two hours, Jiang Yuyao frowned as she looked at the dark sky not far away, which was approaching them at a speed visible to the naked eye. She parked the car behind a rock wall that had been weathered beyond recognition.

"Why did we stop? Are we almost there?" Mu Youling looked around the car and saw yellow sand all around.

"Sister Yuyao, why is the wind so strong outside!" The yellow sand kept swirling in the air due to the wind. In just a few breaths, the visibility around was extremely reduced.

"It seems like we came at the wrong time. We were caught in such a big sandstorm." Jiang Yuyao turned off the car nonchalantly.

"Sandstorm!" Mu Youling was shocked. She had seen it on TV. A tornado could lift several-ton trucks into the air. Listening to the sound of the car windows being smashed by the wind and sand, she felt inexplicably scared.

Jiang Yuyao took in her reaction and reached out to hold Mu Youling's hand, "Let's go into the space first." As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them entered the space and even put the car into the storage space.

Jiang Yuyao walked into the small building, "Are you hungry?" Mu Youling was sitting on the sofa like Ge You. She had been eating all the way in the car, so she wasn't very hungry. She replied, "I'm not hungry yet."

Taking out the ingredients, Jiang Yuyao said as she processed them, "I'm a little hungry, eat with me."

Mu Youling then realized that Jiang Yuyao hadn't eaten much along the way. He couldn't help feeling annoyed that Jiang Yuyao hadn't reacted at all. Then he ran to Jiang Yuyao like a dog to help her.

"Hey, Sister Yuyao, let me help you."

Jiang Yuyao's smile never dropped from beginning to end.

While the two were happily eating hotpot, Zhuang Yuzhou and his group who were experiencing a sandstorm outside the space were not so lucky.

They drove five cars in total, and now they all formed a circle and hid behind the rock wall. Zhuang Yuzhou was a little angry and shouted at the guide: "Didn't you say that there would be no extreme weather in the near future? What is this!"

The guide also had an innocent look on his face. He grew up in the desert and knew that extreme sandstorms like this generally had a formation process. They would also judge the approximate weather conditions when sandstorms occurred based on daily observations.

He had no idea that something like this would suddenly appear. He was worried and said in broken Mandarin: "I observed this morning and there is indeed no possibility of a sandstorm."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a girl in the back seat with a sharp voice, "Guide, you said it won't appear, then what is this!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the sandstorm outside the windshield. It was already pitch black outside and nothing could be seen.

The guide was choked by her and was speechless, so he shut his mouth, fearing that anything he said would upset these people.

Seeing that he was silent, the woman held back her anger, took a deep breath, turned to Zhuang Yuzhou in the cab, and said delicately: "Senior Zhuang, what should we do now!"

Zhuang Yuzhou was also angry, but facing the beautiful schoolmate, he had to speak softly: "Schoolmate Chuchu, in this situation we can only wait until the sandstorm is over before we can leave."

This desert crossing activity was organized by Zhuang Yuzhou and his friends in order to make an appointment with these schoolmates, but he did not expect it to turn out like this. He felt a little regretful and hoped that the sandstorm would pass quickly. He could only pray in his heart.

After eating hot pot, Jiang Yuyao and Mu Youling watched a movie together and then took a rest. They stayed in the space for eighteen hours, and three hours passed in the outside world. Jiang Yuyao changed her clothes, put on anti-sand protective gear, and left the space alone.

The situation outside was still unclear, and she didn't dare let Mu Youling come out with her. The tornado had passed, but the remaining wind was still very strong, and the visibility was only within a range of two meters in diameter.

After Jiang Yuyao returned to the space and told Mu Youling about the situation, they stayed in the space for 24 hours before coming out together. The wind and sand were much smaller at this time, but they could only vaguely identify the direction.

Jiang Yuyao moved the car out of the space, and the two of them got into the car to avoid the remaining wind and sand. "This is really! So exciting!" Mu Youling exclaimed. This scene was something she had never thought of before, and the light in her eyes was not concealed at all.

Looking at Mu Youling's glowing eyes, Jiang Yuyao said with a smile: "Sit tight, we're about to set off!" After stepping on the accelerator, Mu Youling excitedly grabbed the handrail on the roof of the car.

The two men marched back to the center of the desert.

After driving for nearly four more hours, Jiang Yuyao looked at the desert area ahead and stopped the car.

"Are we there yet?" Mu Youling asked.

"Well, the sand ahead is difficult to walk on. The car can easily get stuck in it. It's more convenient to walk." Jiang Yuyao took out the two people's backpacks from the space, sorted them out before getting out of the car. At this time, the wind and sand had subsided and the sun was shining on the earth again.

Mu Youling, wearing a navy blue field combat uniform and a sand mask, said, "Sister Yuyao, it's so strange here. The temperature was quite high at the edge of the desert, but why is it not hot at all here? Logically, shouldn't the temperature in the center of the desert be higher?"

Jiang Yuyao nodded, "It's indeed wrong."

After putting the car back into the space, she vaguely felt that there was a fluctuation of crystal source energy here, which was very weak. If it was before, she might not have been able to detect it at all, but Jiang Yuyao's body was now transformed by the green liquid, so it was naturally easy for her to detect this faint existence.

Mu Youling didn’t know about the existence of the crystal source body, so naturally he didn’t know about the energy floating in the air.
