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

It cooks much faster than normal food. It should be the army's internal technology, used to save cooking time in special situations.

Captain Sun quickly invited Xia Liuying to have dinner together. Xia Liuying did not refuse. She had already finished her food and would have to go back to Xiaodai to get her backpack back, which would take another half a day.

Of course it is better not to go hungry if you can avoid it.

The taste of the food is not that great. After all, reducing the cooking time means that the ingredients have been processed more in the early stages. It has a sticky texture like paste, and will become harder after a while, like biscuits. It will become soft again after soaking in water.

As for the taste, the taste of the food itself is very obvious. If you are a person who likes to eat staple foods, such as the wheat aroma of cakes and the rice aroma of rice, you should like it.

There must have been special ingredients added to it. Xia Liuying only ate half of the usual amount of food and felt full.

——You can carry half the weight of food.

After dinner, Xia Liuying wouldn't be needed to clean up, so naturally someone would put all these things away again.

Captain Sun sat outside with Xia Liuying for another hour, mainly acting as a guard. He drove everyone else in the team into the tent to sleep and rest, and he was the only one who stayed outside.

Chatting with Xia Liuying about random things.

After all, this time, their mission has been completed, and there is no rush to leave. They can rest on the spot and go back slowly after everyone has rested. The three leaders of the smuggling gang who have not been caught are under the charge of Mo Shengyang Xingxia and a special pursuit team, and their mission is to bring back the people in need.

Then a young soldier climbed out of the tent, took over Captain Sun's position, and continued to guard outside.

Listening to the snoring sounds that quickly came from the tent, Xia Liuying knew that they had been traveling all night without a moment's rest for the past two days.

It was not until after 5 a.m., almost 6 a.m., that Du Beixing woke up first. After all, he was a supernatural being, and his physical condition was much better than Fu Nanfei's.

Du Beixing got up in a daze, and struggled to free himself from Fu Nanfei's "strangulation". Then he remembered where he was and subconsciously looked for Xia Liuying.

After not seeing the pretty little black cat, Du Beixing suddenly became panicked and quickly slapped Fu Nanfei twice to wake him up, "Wake up! Wake up! Sister Liuying is missing!"

"Ah? Ah? Ah!" Fu Nanfei was woken up in a daze. He didn't react at first, but after receiving the content of Du Bei's jargon, he jumped up and hit his head on the metal support frame on the top of the tent.

The two of them quickly opened the tent and walked out to look for Xia Liuying. When they looked up, a dozen young men and women in military uniforms looked up at them tacitly.

The two people who were not fully awake yet paused and were about to turn back - they must have not woken up yet and were hallucinating.

It was not until they saw Xia Liuying, who stood out among a group of people in military uniforms, that they stopped and reacted.

Captain Sun called Fu Nanfei and Du Beixing over, learned about the situation, and took out the breakfast left for them and let them eat.

Xia Liuying went over and folded up her tent again. She had nothing to do from then on and now that she had handed over everything, she could leave.

Fu Nanfei and Du Beixing said goodbye to Xia Liuying reluctantly. If they could put down the food bowls in their hands before waving goodbye, Xia Liuying would be more touched.

But it also indirectly proves that they really haven't eaten anything good during this period of time, and that the snake meat they ate last night tasted really bad.

Before leaving, Captain Sun brought some food for Xia Liuying to take with her in case there were any accidents on the road that would delay them and leave Xia Liuying with nothing to eat.

Always be prepared for unexpected events in the desert.

Xia Liuying did not refuse, but it was of no use. She just spent longer time than the time she came here and returned to the rift valley. As expected, Xiaodai was still there and had hardly left.

The evidence is that the plants in the circle where Xia Liuying put her backpack have been eaten bare, and Xiaodai is eating the plants radiating outwards, with the backpack as the origin.

I feel so touched that I can't express it in words.

After a short rest, I drank some more water from the stream and had a "lunch" - it was just after three in the afternoon.

Xia Liuying did not stay any longer, but took advantage of the long afternoon time and continued on her journey with Xiaodai.

Oh, another two days wasted.

After adjusting the direction, Xia Liuying continued to walk towards the third desert lizard release point.

I don’t know if it was to compensate for the time Xia Liuying wasted before, but at around eleven o’clock in the evening, Xia Liuying arrived at the third desert oasis.

The temperature was too low at night, and the group of desert lizards were kept in a low-temperature insulated box. Xia Liuying was worried that their body temperature would not be able to adjust at night, so she did not rush to release them. She let them rest for a night and would release them the same tomorrow morning.

Leading Xiaodai, Xia Liuying walked towards the oasis. The moon was very bright tonight, illuminating the oasis particularly clearly, otherwise Xia Liuying would not have chosen to continue on the journey after dark.

The spring in this oasis is crescent-shaped, half surrounding the oasis. The water surface is shimmering in the moonlight. Xia Liuying was about to approach when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

In the several oases she had visited before, even though they were almost drying up, there were still many animals surrounding them. In fact, because of Xia Liuying's special ability to be friendly with animals, they would not even go too far away when she got close. But in this long and narrow Crescent Lake, there was not a single animal staying around it.

Not right.

The alarm in Xia Liuying's mind was buzzing, and her eyes quickly looked around the lake. In the bright moonlight, several carelessly discarded large animal bones caught Xia Liuying's attention.

Such clean and neat traces could never have been made by animals... Is there someone here already?

Xia Liuying was about to stop and step back when a chilling feeling of being targeted suddenly appeared behind her - she had been discovered!

That was definitely not a kind look, Xia Liuying was sure, it was dangerous, very dangerous, the owner of that look was quite dangerous, her intuition told her so.

So I turned around and left immediately... No, I didn't know who he was or what the situation was. It would be more dangerous to turn my back to him.

After a moment of vigilance, Xia Liuying relaxed her whole body, as if she hadn't noticed anything, and continued to walk towards the lake with Xiaodai.

As they walked, Xia Liuying made an innocent and surprised sound like a young girl, "Xiao Dai! We found an oasis! There's a lake! Great! We will definitely be able to find our way back!"
