Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

After the debt incident, everyone spent a peaceful night at Lan Tianhui's place. The next day, under their witness, Lan Tianhui and Scott signed a cooperation agreement, and then embarked on their journey again.

The car was moving forward against a backdrop of yellow sand. There were no obstacles on the road ahead. Under the guidance of Tianlang, everyone quickly crossed the sea of ​​sand and came to the area described by Tianlang... This was how things should have developed, but halfway through the journey, Karin's car suddenly stalled for some unknown reason.

"Karin, are you not feeling well yet?" Zixuan urged.

Across the endless sea of ​​sand, everyone waited impatiently in the scorching heat. The dry atmosphere and rising temperatures made everyone increasingly anxious, and the most serious problem was the water supply.

At this moment, Karen was lying under the car, tinkering with it carefully. When she came out from under the car, her whole body was soaked with sweat.

"Oh, no, the car broke down because of the sand, and the tire is blown." She wiped the sweat off her forehead, shook her head, and then walked to the front of the car.

She carefully opened the hood. It was fine until she opened it, but once she did...

"Ugh, cough cough cough!"

A cloud of black smoke came out, choking Karen and making her cough.

"Um, are you okay?" Mo Yan asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm used to it." Kailin covered her mouth and nose with one hand and waved it away with the other. She then began to check the engine again. Her brows were furrowed, and she said helplessly, "I was wondering why it suddenly stalled. It turns out sand got into the engine too. Let me take a look at this part... Uh, okay, it's completely burned out."

Mo Yan stood aside, watching everything in front of him, and a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.

"In reality, are there really little girls who do such hard work?"

Zi Xuan shook her head and said, "There's nothing I can do. After all, there are family factors involved."

"Well, can it be repaired?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Yes, yes, but it will take some time."

With that, Kailin came to the rear of the SUV again and knocked.

bang bang bang

"Ah, I can't be so unlucky! Not only the water tank, but even the gas tank is empty!"

After hearing what Kailin said, everyone's faces became even uglier.

"So, can this car still be used?" Tianlang asked.

"It's usable, but it'll probably take hours to fix," Karen said, her hands on her hips.

If it was just gasoline, tires, engine parts and other parts, I would have plenty of spares in my backpack, but the water tank was out of water, which became the biggest problem.

In reality, anyone who has learned to drive knows that a completely empty radiator is extremely dangerous. The water in the radiator plays a crucial role in cooling the engine during operation. Without water, the heat generated by the engine's continuous operation cannot be effectively dissipated, much like a person working continuously in a high-temperature environment without being able to dissipate heat. Problems will soon arise.

Everyone gathered together, their eyes full of anxiety.

"This is a problem. The water resources we brought with us are no longer enough. If this continues, we will probably die of heat before we reach Shaling." Zhao Heng said with a serious expression.

Mo Yan sighed, "It's my fault too. I've been at the institute for so long, yet I forgot such a simple question."

"No one blames you. Now you should think of a way to leave here." Zixuan said.

"Why don't we use Yue Sheng's power to go back first, and then come back after being prepared?" Mo Yan said.

But Kailin waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, look at this place, it's deserted and there's no one here. Who knows where it is exactly? Besides, this thing is too difficult to control. The atmosphere right now is completely uninspiring."

After saying that, she fanned the sweat off her body.

"But this is not a solution." Zixuan said.

"Yeah, we can't wait for you to repair the car before we leave," said Zhao Heng.

At this moment, Mo Yan shook his head, then looked at Tianlang and asked, "Tianlang, how far are we from Shaling now?"

Tianlang lowered his head and thought before answering, "Well, I don't know either. After all, you know that when I came here before, I always used..."

"I know, I know. Then you're going to say that your contract power is unstable and hasn't recovered, right?" Karen said impatiently.

"That's right..." Tianlang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, I knew it..." Kailin sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Mo Yan shook his head again and said, "Forget it. I think we should keep moving forward. We can't just sit here and be dried like human flesh."

Tianlang nodded: "That's true. I remember there is an oasis in the desert. Maybe we can try our luck."

"Well, I hope it's not a mirage." Karen said, and then put the broken off-road vehicle back into the ring.

And so, led by Tianlang, they continued on their way. The sand beneath their feet seemed endless, raising a small cloud of dust with every step. The sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth mercilessly, and everyone's throats were so dry that they felt like smoking.

After walking about 5 kilometers, suddenly, there was a vague green area in the distance, which looked like a forest.

"Look, it's an oasis!" Zixuan said excitedly.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go there!" Karen said excitedly.

Everyone quickened their pace and ran towards the green, but as the distance got closer, the green gradually disappeared.

"Damn it! Why is it a mirage again!" Karen stomped her feet angrily, but this action only made matters worse, making her even more hungry and thirsty.

At this time, everyone's physical strength had been almost exhausted, and there was little water left.

Kailin plopped down on the sand, devastated, "Oh my god, can we still have fun? How can we survive in this heat?"

Zhao Heng sighed and said, "Forget it. If you have the energy, you might as well keep moving forward."

At this moment, Mo Yan also shook his head, then held his water cup in front of Kailin and said, "I still have a little here, if you don't mind..."

Before she finished speaking, Kailin snatched the water cup from Mo Yan's hand. Her action was so fast that even Mo Yan was not prepared.

"Thank you!" She opened the lid of the cup and started drinking it down.

"Hey, why don't you leave some for me!" Mo Yan said helplessly, slapping his head.

After Kailin drank more than half of the water, she handed the cup to Mo Yan and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm really thirsty. I'm sorry."

Mo Yan shrugged helplessly and took a sip of the remaining water carefully.

The crowd continued to trudge forward in the desert. Just when everyone felt they were about to lose hope due to the scorching heat and thirst, suddenly, a patch of green rose before their eyes again. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a melon field, and there seemed to be a pergola in the middle?

Seeing this, Kailin was slightly stunned: "Uh, this...isn't it another mirage?"
