The sun shone on the desert, and the members of the rescue team survived safely. They looked at the rising sun, feeling both afraid and happy. They were afraid that the sandstorm would come again, but they were happy that they had escaped the sandstorm last night.
âHow are you? Are you cold?â Zhuang Liu touched Tan Ronâs forehead. Seeing that her expression was normal, he heaved a sigh of relief. âFortunately, weâre still alive.â
Tan Ron smiled and held Zhuang Liuâs hand. âDonât worry. Weâll definitely return safely.â
âIs everyone alright?â the guide called out to them.
âWeâre fine,â Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu replied.
The people around them shouted to show that they were still alive.
Tao Zhi and Lu Qing walked over. They were covered in yellow sand and looked very sorry.
âXiao Rou, is there still a signal on your machine?â Tao Zhi asked.
Tan Rou immediately took out the computer from her backpack, then turned on the tablet and began to check the satellite images around her.
âThis sandstorm has already gone far away. The next sandstorm wonât reach us. Letâs head north after breakfast,â Tan Rou said after analyzing the situation. âThere might be traces of Second Brother and the others there.â
Even though they said that, everyone was not confident. The sandstorm was too fierce, and no one knew if Tao Zheng and the others were still alive. Moreover, the sandstorm could easily erase their traces. Even if they left a mark, it would be very difficult to keep it in such weather.
âNo matter what, I must bring Second Brother and Lulu home,â Tan Rou said with a firm gaze.
Zhuang Liu held her hand tightly. âLetâs go together.â
After a simple breakfast, they carried their equipment and headed north.
They were now about seven kilometers away from the original filming base. The sand in the desert was soft, and vehicles could not enter, so they could only walk in the desert on their two legs.
The scorching sun shone on their heads, and the sand on the ground was scalding hot. However, no one said that they wanted to stop. Time passed by. The more they rested, the more danger Liang Lu and the others would be in.
Zhuang Liu was worried that Tan Ronâs body would not be able to take it. Among all the rescue team members, only Tan Rou was a girl.
âXiao Rou, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?â Zhuang Liu asked with concern.
Although Tan Rou was tired, she could still accept this level of training. In the past, she was much more tired than she was now. âNo. Are you tired?â
Zhuang Liu shook his head and said, âIâm not tired. I just donât know if the others are tired.â
Tan Rou looked around and saw a few huge rocks not far away. âLetâs go to the rocks and rest for a while. We can eat something while weâre at it.â
Everyone was tired. As soon as they reached the stone, they unloaded their things. Some ate, some drank, and tried not to talk as much as possible. This way, they could save their strength.
As Tan Rou ate, she operated the flying drone to check the surrounding environment. The drone flew for a long time but did not find any traces of Liang Lu and the others. Just as she was about to turn off the tablet, she suddenly saw a few moving shadows on the sand.
She quickly put down the food in her hand and immediately lowered the height of the drone to look at the shadows.
âFound them! I saw them! Theyâre still alive!â Tan Rou exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone cheered. âThatâs great!â
Tan Rou swallowed the food in a few bites and took two sips of water. âIâll let the drone fly over first and tell them to wait there. Then, weâll go and find them.â
Everyone had no objections. They carried their things and prepared to set off to find the missing people.
On the other side, Liang Lu and an actress were supporting each other as they walked. They had no target and could only determine their direction by the position of the sun. They tried their best to walk east. However, they had been walking for almost two days. They had run out of water and food. If they did not walk out, they might die of exhaustion or starvation.
Tao Zhengâs camera had long been lost. They only brought food and warmth, and the rest were thrown into the vast desert.
Liang Lu was tired of walking. She looked up and suddenly saw something flying over from the sky. It seemed to be an eagle.
