Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

When Li Zhi and his group appeared in the desert again, Li Zhi was still a little confused.

He had already made up his mind to engage in a bloody battle with that monster.

However, who could have expected that the strange-behaving monster would actually keep its promise and release them unharmed.

Li Zhi looked around at the people around him calmly, and saw that they looked normal, with nothing unusual.

Obviously, at the oasis, the monster only targeted him, while the others were completely unaware of the danger and crisis behind it.

In this regard, Li Zhi had a deeper understanding of the strength of that demon.

You know, among Li Zhi and his group, there are not only the experts of the Night Patrol Division, but also the experienced and fierce Qiongqi Camp. But none of them noticed the confrontation between Li Zhi and the delusion.

Fortunately, the demon seemed to be too young and really let them all go.

Li Zhi subconsciously turned around and looked at the oasis that was gradually disappearing behind him.

He secretly speculated that this beast was probably restricted in some way and could not leave the oasis. Otherwise, with its skills and strength, it would have few rivals in this vast desert and would have caused a bloody storm long ago.

However, all of this is just Li Zhi's speculation based on the current situation and still needs further confirmation.

His expression was stern, and he swept his eyes over everyone, and ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone, pay attention, get ready immediately! Keep moving forward quickly, and make sure to leave this place as soon as possible!"

Although everyone was confused by Li Zhi's sudden order and didn't know what had happened, they keenly realized the seriousness of the situation from Li Zhi's serious and dignified expression.

Therefore, everyone took action quickly without asking any questions.

The entire team started up like a precision-operated machine and moved forward in an orderly manner towards the distance.

As Li Zhi moved forward with the team, he kept an eye on the movements behind him.

Until they walked quite a distance, Li Zhi did not find any signs of the beast following them.

This discovery finally made Li Zhi feel a little relieved.

It seemed that his guess was correct, and the snake could not leave the oasis. In this way, as long as they could avoid the oasis, or even all the oases in the desert, they would not encounter any danger.

"What happened?" Zhang Wenchu had already noticed something was wrong with Li Zhi. He approached Li Zhi slowly and calmly and asked softly.

Duan Heng and others also followed closely beside Zhang Wenchu. Their faces were also full of confusion, and they were obviously eager to know the reason behind the incident.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi told them in detail what happened to him in the oasis.

After listening to Li Zhi's narration, the expressions of Zhang Wenchu and others instantly became solemn.

They really didn't expect that under the seemingly peaceful and ordinary oasis, there was such a terrifying monster hidden, and they had been there before, but they didn't notice anything unusual.

From this, it can be seen that Zhiwang's profound Taoism and powerful strength are far beyond their imagination.

Duan Heng forced a slightly unnatural smile on his face, and laughed dryly: "Ha, but fortunately that demon doesn't seem to be very smart, and it let us go so easily..."

Li Zhi nodded slightly, and said with lingering fear: "Yes, I was determined to fight it to the death, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to talk to."

Jia Zhen, who was standing by, frowned, his face full of worry, and couldn't help but ask, "But, if we just leave like this, will it really be okay?"

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and sighed, saying helplessly: "What can we do? We can't really catch those people and give them to it. Besides, those people have already run away to who knows where."

Zhang Wenchu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Now it seems that the only thing we can do is to leave this desert as soon as possible. In this way, even if the monkey finds out that Li Zhi is deceiving it, it will be too far away to do anything."

Everyone nodded, expressing their high agreement with Zhang Wenchu's plan to leave the desert as soon as possible.

Li Zhi knew that if the other accompanying personnel knew about the monster in the oasis, it would most likely cause large-scale panic and affect the progress of the entire team.

Therefore, he decided to keep the matter strictly confidential. Apart from a few people in the Night Patrol Division, he only told Captain Yang.

As the leader of the Qiongqi Camp, Captain Yang was fully aware of the seriousness of the situation. He immediately and decisively ordered the entire camp to be on alert.

All of a sudden, the soldiers of the Qiongqi Camp moved quickly. Then, the entire team sped up again and moved forward towards the distance.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, scorching the vast earth without any hindrance.

Under the scorching sun, the scorching sand and gravel seemed to turn into a sea of ​​blazing fire, which seemed to melt the soles of everyone's shoes.

After a long and intense journey, everyone was exhausted. Everyone's faces were filled with fatigue, and sweat kept rolling down their foreheads, but before it hit the ground, it was instantly evaporated by the dry and hot air, leaving only white sweat stains on their cheeks.

Li Zhi looked up at the big sun hanging high in the sky, emitting strong light, and then looked back at the vast desert behind him that seemed to have no end.

His eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and worry, and then he turned to Captain Yang and said, "Captain Yang, we have been walking for such a long time, I think we should be out of danger for the time being. And if we continue to travel at such a high intensity, I am afraid that everyone's body will not be able to bear it. In my opinion, let's take a break first."

Captain Yang's face was tanned and cracked by the sun, but the stern expression on his face did not change at all, and his eyes still showed determination and courage.

Hearing what Li Zhi said, he nodded slightly, turned around and went to convey the order without saying much.

But before Li Zhi could hear the crowd cheering because they no longer had to risk their lives to travel.

He then saw Captain Yang rushing back in a hurry.

Seeing this, Li Zhi secretly thought that something unexpected might have happened. He hurried forward and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Captain Yang frowned so tightly that it looked like he could pinch a fly to death. He said in a solemn voice, "I just heard from the people below that the water supply is being consumed too quickly! Judging from the current consumption rate, the water supply we have stored may not be able to support us to get out of this desert!"

Captain Yang's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking Li Zhi.

In this vast desert, water is the lifeline for everyone and is of utmost importance.

Before they set out, they had made careful preparations and stored enough water to support everyone out of the desert. Moreover, they had specially replenished the water source when they were in the oasis before. But now, it has only been a short time, how could it be consumed so quickly?

Li Zhi was shocked and asked quickly, "Is this matter confirmed? Please don't make a mistake."

Captain Yang looked serious, nodded heavily, and explained: "A soldier in charge of managing the water source noticed this abnormal situation the day before yesterday. In order to confirm, he even made a mark on the bucket. After two days of observation, he found that the daily water consumption was increasing day by day. The situation is very wrong."

Li Zhi knew that in order to ensure that there was enough water to support them through the desert, the average amount of water each of them needed per day, and even the daily evaporation consumption of water had been carefully measured.

In this way, the amount of water consumed every day should not change much.

But now this kind of rapid consumption has occurred, which is definitely not normal.

"Let's go! Go check it out and call Duan Heng and the others along!"

As Li Zhi spoke, he strode towards the water source at the rear.
