Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

Desert? What happened to the desert... Wait!

Xia Liuying reacted belatedly.

Senior Wang Quan looked over with a sympathetic gaze, "Did you notice that there are very few people taking showers?"

The base's bathhouse can only accommodate dozens of people at a time, but the total number of people in the base is no less than the number of students in Sungkyunkwan High School.

Even if the base needs to conserve water resources and employees of different jobs wash separately, the number of people taking a shower at one time is still too small.

The only people waiting in line for showers were first graders.

The reason is that the high temperature and sandstorms in the desert can cause damage to human skin. It may seem like an extra layer of dirt on the body, but in fact it is a protective measure for the skin.

Except for those staff who do not need to go out, most people do not take a bath frequently. They want to keep the protective layer on their bodies to allow themselves to live better in the desert environment.

It can be said that the first-year students had worked hard this afternoon to accumulate a defense +0.1 shield on their bodies, but this bath wiped it all out, or even weakened it a little.

Xia Liuying couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She had also been in the desert before, but because she stayed in the base, she ignored many things.

Although the first-year students will stay in the base for the first few days, they don't need to experience much except the scorching sun that can be shaded at any time, and the hot wind that carries some sand but is particularly gentle.

However, in the next few days, they had to walk several kilometers back and forth in the desert every day, under the scorching sun and in close contact with the violent sandstorms.

In other words, this is time for them to adapt.

Xia Liuying hasn't thought about her last memory for a long time. She seems to have completely accepted and integrated into this world.

Having accepted her current "inhuman physique", she subconsciously felt that the desert environment had little impact on her, so she simply put aside the things she should think about.

Isn't this a kind of arrogance and pride, an expansion brought about by the growth of one's own strength?

After leaving President Lu Yuanjun's dormitory, Xia Liuying walked out of the boys' dormitory and stood outside the building, feeling the temperature which was completely different from that during the day. She felt the wind for several minutes before returning to her dormitory.

Facing the other three people who had been waiting in the dormitory, Xia Liuying told them what happened in President Lu Yuanjun's dormitory. Especially when she mentioned the issue of taking a bath, the girls looked at each other.

"Although I can understand it, I really don't want to accept it." Jin Linglong sighed.

Although the physical fitness of people with special abilities far exceeds that of ordinary people, and their endurance in the face of extreme environments is also higher than that of ordinary people, the impact still exists to a greater or lesser extent.

As long as one does not truly transform into another species, the things that are improved are still within the scope of human beings.

No matter how tough the skin is, isn't it still skin? Does increasing endurance reduce the pain?

Not to mention anything else, looking at the unified practice of the second and third year seniors, you will know that not taking a shower is definitely something that can make the rest of your time much easier.

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to accept the reality and cherish their last fragrant night.

The next day, half of the first-year students went to take a shower. Apart from Xia Liuying who got the hint directly, there were many who figured it out on their own after seeing the reactions of the second and third-year students.

Naturally, there were also some first-year students who, although they had guessed these things, still took a shower on time every day, thinking that they or their special abilities could protect them from being affected.

No one stopped them. After all, no matter how much others said, if you don’t experience it yourself, the feeling won’t be particularly profound.

Facts are the best means of proof.

On the fourth day after arriving at Base No. 12, after breakfast, the first-year students walked out of the base and went to the greening renovation area with the second- and third-year seniors.

As soon as they walked out of the protective shield, the sandstorm suddenly became stronger, blowing into the faces of many unprepared students. All of a sudden, all kinds of "puffing" and "poohing" sounds were heard.

Xia Liuying was well prepared. She asked for some hats from the base staff, took off some clothes, and took simple protective measures.

In fact, students should be provided with enough work clothes to at least provide full body protection - but that would not serve the purpose of training students to endure hardships and endure hardship.

Everything is provided so that students can enjoy the scenery comfortably in the desert. What's the difference between that and traveling to another place?

As long as the students are not injured, a little sand, sun exposure and wind blowing on them won't be a big problem.

Xia Liuying's outfit didn't look good, and it looked like the attire of a rural woman working in the fields. Fortunately, Jin Linglong and the others next to her were dressed similarly.

Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is not just me who is embarrassed, so I can accept it.

What looked a little ridiculous in the base turned into enviable equipment soon after leaving the base.

Hiking a few kilometers is not that troublesome. No matter how difficult the desert terrain is, it is not more difficult than running with a load of thousands of pounds. However, the dust that follows every breath is unavoidable.

The scorching sun above is also constantly raising the body temperature. The hot wind blows across the skin, taking away the moisture on the skin, making the skin dry... and then cracking.

Even when going out, the students still took many protective measures to hydrate themselves, but they finally faced terrible consequences.

The feeling of having water forced to leave the body is not that good. If one is a water-related mutant, one can still rely on this ability to maintain the body, but obviously many people's abilities have nothing to do with water.

As for being endurable, it's not that it's unbearable, just like a mouth ulcer, it's not fatal, nor is it a serious injury or a serious illness, but it's just uncomfortable.

Xia Liuying couldn't stand it anymore and gave these people a simple solution - roll in the sand.

The temperature in the desert in the morning was not too high. After all, the sun had not been up for long and the sand was not scalding.

Many people had trust in Xia Liuying that Xia Liuying herself was not even aware of. After hearing what Xia Liuying said, they decisively abandoned those clean ideas, found a place to the side, and rolled away.

After I stood up with sand all over my body and started walking again, I found that I felt much better. The sand mixed with sweat and stuck to my skin was not comfortable, but it was like a shield that isolated me from the discomfort of wind and sun.

As a result, they looked even more miserable than those classmates who hadn't taken a shower for several days.
