Feng Chan had too many questions in her mind, but no one could answer them for her.

She just sat there in the cave until half an hour later, when a wooden box appeared again not far away.

Her eyes lit up, and she still had a chance to survive. She bent down and walked out of the cave. In addition to taking the stones and the rope, she also took the wooden box.

Following a safe route to three meters away, Feng Chan tied the empty wooden box firmly with a noose, and then threw it one meter away.

The yellow sand did not move, so she would only go after she was sure it was safe. If it was not safe, she could recycle the wooden box in time and take another route. She also did not have to worry about the stones being lost after they were used up.

In this way, it took her less than two minutes to successfully reach the second wooden box. She shook it twice but there was no sound. The weight was the same as the previous one. She did not open it immediately, but returned to the cave first.

The wooden box is not big, with a length, width and height of approximately 20cmx20cmx20cm, but its shape is that of an old European wooden box, like a Krusty Krab restaurant.

Feng Chan was not in a hurry to open it. Since she got the wooden box, she learned to think without her mobile phone.

Since the mysterious person behind the scenes gave him supplies, he definitely didn't want him to die, at least he didn't want to die so soon.

But it is impossible for the other party to be so simple, going to great lengths to get himself to the desert, and then giving himself supplies when he is about to die.

Could this material also be dangerous? Feng Chan thought so, picked up the empty wooden box with her right hand, and used one corner of it to open the second wooden box.

There lay quietly inside a palm-sized breakfast sandwich, nothing else.

It's safe. Feng Chan took out the bread and placed two wooden boxes at the entrance of the cave.

Now all she had were half a bottle of water, a piece of fruit candy, a breakfast bread and two-thirds of chewing gum.

She was still hungry, so she chose the remaining chewing gum over the three foods. Not knowing if there would be another box next, she decided not to touch the breakfast bread until she got the next box.

Two hours later, Feng Chan, who had slept for ten minutes and was woken up by the heat, finally saw new boxes appear, and not just one but two!

Her pounding heart betrayed her apparent calmness. She took a rope, a stone and an empty wooden box and set off again.

With two experiences, it only took her less than five minutes to go back and forth.

She still used an empty box to open it. When she opened the first box, she found a fresh green fabric with small white flowers printed on it. She took it out and shook it open. It was a summer quilt, which was packed tightly.

Although it was not edible, Feng Chan still cherished it and placed it in the stone cave. She had cleaned it simply when she was bored. Although there was still dust, it was much better than before.

She opened the second box in the same way and heard a sound of a small object hitting the box.

Soon she saw what it was, a yellow-brown scorpion, its tail raised high, and it landed on the ground as if it was about to attack.

Despite the scorching heat, Feng Chan's heart cooled down. She suddenly picked up the wooden box in her hand and smashed it down with all her might. One hit was not enough, so she smashed it six times in a row. Only after she was sure that it was truly dead did Feng Chan breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she acted quickly and prevented the scorpion from burrowing into the sand, otherwise she would not have been able to sleep well at night.

Before throwing the scorpion into the quicksand, she hit it twice more to make sure it had rotted into a pool of flesh and there was no chance of it being revived.

The scorpion was very light and did not cause the quicksand to flow and swallow it, but this was a good way to point out the location to Feng Chan, so she didn't have to worry about going the wrong way.

When they returned to the entrance of the cave, there was nothing in the scorpion's box. Feng Chan felt lost for a moment and put the four wooden boxes outside.

She kept staring outside. It seemed that the location and time of the wooden boxes were random. Until the sun set, no new boxes appeared.

It seems unlikely that there will be any more boxes today.

The temperature dropped rapidly at this time. Feng Chan wiped the sweat off her forehead and couldn't help but drink a sip of water.

She had already drunk one-third of her water today. It wasn't that she didn't want to save water, but the desert was too dry and she was sweating all the time. Even if she tried to reduce her activities to lower her consumption, she still had to replenish the necessary water.

With an empty stomach, Feng Chan ate the piece of fruit candy the size of her little fingernail and fell into a deep sleep.

Hopefully, there will be food available tomorrow...

In the middle of the night, Feng Chan was awakened by the cold. The temperature difference in the desert was frighteningly large. It was around 40 degrees Celsius during the day, but only around 10 degrees Celsius at night.

Wearing a fur coat in the morning and a gauze dress in the afternoon, and eating watermelon by the fire at night, the saying really did not deceive her.

The summer quilt that seemed useless during the day was of great use at this time. After checking that there were no boxes outside, Feng Chan wrapped herself tightly, endured the cold and fell asleep again.

The next morning, the temperature gradually rose. Feng Chan, who had been half asleep and half awake all night, finally slept for two hours at a temperature that was just right.

There was fog in the morning, but it was soon driven away by the sun.

It was around eight o'clock in the morning. The temperature was getting hotter and hotter, so Feng Chan got up.

As soon as she opened her mouth after picking up the water, she felt pain. In just one day, her mouth cracked and white skin appeared.

He sighed helplessly and took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat which was about to crack. A little water on his lips was better than nothing.

There was no box outside yet, so she opened the bread and took a big bite, savoring it in her mouth, reluctant to swallow it.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long for the new day's box.

After picking up the three things, she carefully tried the route she had taken yesterday. It was still safe today.

After making sure that the road under her feet would not change, Feng Chan avoided the location of the scorpion's corpse and followed the same pattern to successfully get the first box of the day.

After opening it, there was a regular square gray stone the size of a fist inside.

Feng Chan was speechless. Could he put stones in there? Even a piece of clothing would be fine.

Unfortunately, no one here would listen to her complaints. Without food, she didn't dare to eat anything. She folded the opening of the plastic bread bag and pressed it with a newly opened stone to prevent insects from eating it.

However, since the bread has been opened, it cannot be kept for too long. She must finish it by tomorrow at the latest.

I don't know how long it took, but the second box finally appeared. Feng Chan took it out and opened a silver metal block the same size as the stone. It might be iron.

Although it was lost, in the desert, everything except sand is rare and precious, so she did not throw it away but kept it well.

There is always a way out. In the afternoon, two boxes were found. One contained an apple and the other contained 500ml of water.

Before going to bed, Feng Chan finally dared to finish the bread and took a big sip of water from the small bottle.

Now she has about 550ml of water, an apple, a stone, and an iron.

The night was still cold. She was cold and hungry. She looked at the stars outside the cave but had no intention of counting them. Instead, she was recalling her past misfortunes and mistakes.

What heinous crime had I committed to be brought here to live like a savage?

A tear fell from the corner of her eye, and the second drop was slow to fall. Water was too precious, she couldn't waste it on this.
