Desert Survival, when I entered a month in advance

hot……

So hot……

Feng Chan was awakened by the heat. Before waking up, she had finally graduated from college, got rid of her gambling father, found a good job in a city far away from home, and started a new life.

When I opened my eyes again, I was surrounded by endless yellow sand with occasional sand dunes.

The sun was high in the sky and it seemed that noon was not far away. The air around was as if someone had sprinkled a handful of desiccant on it, and the moisture was very low. Feng Chan swallowed her saliva to barely make her throat feel a little better.

She was still wearing her own clothes and her body was still her own. She looked around and saw that besides a hemp rope about 10 meters long with a diameter of to centimeters, there were only three irregularly shaped gray stones. They were not big and she could just hold them in one hand.

Not far away there is a stone cave where sand falls from time to time.

No matter what happened, Feng Chan first took the two things in her hands, supported herself to stand up and looked into the distance. There was no one around.

To be honest, her first suspicion was that it was the Black-Hearted Father who did it, otherwise how could she appear quietly in a desert? But then she thought that the Black-Hearted Father would definitely not be willing to spend so much money to deal with her.

She would occasionally read novels and wonder if she had traveled through time, but she had never seen a plot where the protagonist traveled to the desert and had no supplies and could say goodbye to the world in less than three days.

Feng Chan was lost in thought but still couldn't give an accurate definition of the current situation. Perhaps she hadn't read enough novels, so she had no choice but to explore the surrounding situation first.

But looking at the identical yellow sand under her feet and the tools in her hands, she hesitated for a moment. There were no cameras around, and it was impossible to be invisible with the technology of Blue Star in 2030. So what was the meaning of the other party bringing herself here and deliberately leaving these two props behind?

The stone cave was very low, one meter high and wide, and less than three meters long. It looked like a coffin box, three meters away from Feng Chan.

The weather is too hot now, and there is nothing in the desert to provide shade. In order to live longer, she must go into the cave.

The second before she took a step, she threw a stone in her path. There was quicksand in the desert and there were no animals around. She really couldn't think of any other use for the stone.

The stone fell to the ground, splashing some sand, but the next second the yellow sand with a diameter of one meter around the stone began to flow, and the stone was quickly swallowed up and disappeared without a trace.

In just one minute, the surface of the desert returned to calm, with no trace of the bottomless pit swallowing it up.

Feng Chan reached out and wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve, not sure if it was from the heat or the shock. Fortunately, she had explored the way ahead, and there was no place to gain leverage around, otherwise she would have been the one in trouble.

She only had three chances to try and fail. After thinking for a moment, she chose to throw another stone to the right. She was calm and safe.

Feng Chansong took a deep breath and threw the last stone in a farther direction along the same route, only half a meter away from the cave.

The desert is too dangerous. The traps hidden underground cannot be seen from the surface.

She had to be more careful. It would be best if the last stone was fine. She could pick it up anyway, and it would help her avoid danger.

Fortunately, the result was good. Feng Chan walked over carefully, picked up two stones and successfully entered the cave.

The cave was not high enough, so she could only bend over or squat inside. The stones inside had been weathered for a long time and would fall apart at the touch. It did not look safe, but this was the only place she could hide around.

Fearing that the cave would collapse, Feng Chan sat at the entrance so that she could run out immediately if anything happened.

Avoiding the direct sunlight, her panic felt much better. She rolled up her sleeves and looked around carefully, trying to judge where she was and how likely she was to return alive.

After looking for a long time, she couldn't get any useful information except estimating that it was around 11 o'clock in the morning based on the position of the sun.

There are many deserts on Blue Star. Even if it is a medium-sized desert, it is impossible for her to get out safely without any supplies.

This place is desolate and flat. The farthest place can be seen at a glance. It would take her at least half a month to walk here on foot. Without water and food, she would surely starve to death on the road.

This is the case if there is food or a city farther away. If not, the desert is so vast that even a cat with nine lives would not be able to survive.

Feng Chan was sitting on the ground in the cave. She was thirsty and hungry. If she had paper and pen, she would have started writing her suicide note. This cave would just serve as her coffin, but unfortunately there was nothing... nothing?

Feng Chan wiped her face in disbelief. A simple wooden box appeared out of thin air ten meters away from the cave. She thought her eyes were blurred by sweat, but after wiping them, the box was still there.

She stood up in a hurry, but her head hit the stone cave hard.

He came out with his head in his hands and a bent back, rubbed his head briefly, and followed a safe route to where he had just been lying.

She was not sure about the safety of her surroundings and did not dare to act impulsively. She wanted to throw stones to explore the way as before, but she only had two stones left. There was sand all around her. Apart from some small stones that could barely be pulled out of the stone cave, she could not find anything heavy enough.

After some hesitation, she picked up the rope of the loop.

This place is about 7 meters away from the box, and it is very difficult to hit it.

She shook the noose vigorously, just like in the movies.

"Horse lassoing man, you are mighty and majestic..."

Although it was inappropriate, this song did pop into Feng Chan's head.

After charging her energy, she threw it out with all her might.

Snapped!

With the sound of the rope hitting the sand, Feng Chan failed in her first attempt to put the box on. She retracted the rope and continued to throw. If she missed once, she would throw it 10 times, and if she still failed, she would keep throwing!

The rope was difficult to control, and she threw it 23 times before she succeeded.

I dragged the box back, but halfway through, the yellow sand where the box passed by began to flow.

Feng Chan, who had been exposed to the sun for ten minutes, was very anxious. She pulled the rope suddenly, and fortunately she pulled it in time and the box landed safely at her feet.

Feng Chan picked up the box and returned to the cave along the original route. After wiping the sweat off her face, she nervously opened the box.

A 200ml bottle of unlabeled mineral water and a red fruit candy wrapped in transparent plastic paper.

There were too few things, Feng Chan felt disappointed and relieved at the same time. With this bottle of water, she could get through today and tomorrow.

She unscrewed the bottle cap, took a small sip carefully, and swallowed it reluctantly after carefully moistening her mouth. Then she covered the bottle and placed it together with the fruit candy a little further inside the cave where it would be cooler.

After searching through all her pockets, Feng Chan found a piece of chewing gum. She didn't know how long she had been lying in the desert and was now a little exhausted. To be on the safe side, she ate one-third of the chewing gum to replenish a small amount of energy.

She placed the wooden box at the entrance of the cave. It had weight and could be used to explore the way, and if there was a kindling tool, it could also be used to make a fire at night.

After receiving a wooden box that suddenly appeared, she had a guess about the current situation. The rope was used to tie the box, and the stone was used to explore the way. The only two supplies given had their own uses.

So her current situation was carefully planned, but the wooden box that appeared out of thin air was beyond the level of technology that Blue Star could achieve. So who was the other party? What was their purpose in doing this, and why did they choose her?
