Chapter 514 Sand Sea 8
“I didn’t bury the person, it’s okay.” Zhang Chuzhen interrupted her first.
Wang Meng, who dug the hole to bury people: ...So I'm the sucker? ???
He looked up at the person who had taken advantage of him.
"What are you looking at? Keep going." Zhang Chuzhen's aura was very strong, and Wang Meng actually continued burying people.
He worked for a while, then suddenly realized why he had to listen to her.
It must be because her appearance was too frightening, and also because they were kind people; there were only girls here, and they couldn't just let them bury someone.
Wang Meng calmed himself down and continued burying people with a clear conscience.
At that moment, he didn't even consider why it was necessary to bury people.
Zhang Chuzhen, seeing that it was enough, simply left. Whether the people in the sand could survive was up to fate.
Back in the tent, she lay down and went back to sleep.
A moment later, three girls hurried in and walked up to her. Zhang Chuzhen opened her eyes and asked, "Is something the matter?"
"We came to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have been..." Guozi said, her voice choked with emotion.
Fu Mei and Sister Dan followed behind, awkwardly offering their thanks as well.
Zhang Chuzhen: "I wasn't trying to help you guys, they were just making noise."
She clearly saw that they were somewhat afraid of her, and never considered getting along with them or becoming friends with them.
Since Guozi had helped her a bit these past few days, this was her way of repaying the favor.
"No matter what, it's all thanks to you," Egg Sister said.
"I'm going to go to bed."
"Okay, then we won't bother you anymore." Guozi pulled the two of them to rest on the other side.

In the morning, Zhang Chuzhen was sound asleep when she heard a commotion outside. She guessed that the people downstairs had returned, so she simply blocked out the noise and continued sleeping.
Xiao Qi reminded him, "Host, have you forgotten that this entire desert will collapse later? And you're still sleeping so soundly?"
"No rush, we're just running, we won't die." Nothing is more important than her sleeping.
"Okay." Xiao Qi felt speechless and could only remain silent.
Inside Wu Xie's tent, Wang Meng was telling him about what happened last night, vividly describing Zhang Chuzhen's behavior and words.
"Sand therapy? Beauty and skincare? This little girl is quite interesting!" Black Bear walked in, his expression somewhat amused.
Wu Xie saw him and said, "Why are you showing your face in broad daylight?"
"That's not it. I missed such a wonderful scene because I followed you to the palace below. Come and listen to the story."
Wang Meng: "You guys think it's interesting too, but unfortunately I was the only one there at the time."
“I haven’t even said anything to you yet. She told you to do the work, so you did. You got tricked, you know?” Wu Xie said.
"Ah, but she made it clear too."
Wu Xie remained silent: "You're a typical case of being sold out and still paying for it. How come I never noticed before that you were so easily fooled?"
Wang Meng scratched the back of his head. He didn't know either, but he always felt that Zhang Chuzhen's gaze made him unable to muster any resistance.
"Hearing you say that, I'm even more interested in her." Black Glasses was thinking about how to check if she had any tattoos.
"Interested? Blackie, you wouldn't happen to be...?" Wang Meng looked at him with surprise.
Hei Xiazi's expression was a half-smile; he deliberately didn't explain because he wanted to tease him.
"No way? How old is he?!" Wang Meng exclaimed.
Wu Xie knew that Hei Xiazi was sensible and didn't think that his expression of interest had any other meaning.
Hei Xiazi didn't explain: "It's inconvenient for me to show myself, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he went out and left, hiding in the shadows.
"Boss, could he really be...?"
Wu Xie didn't look at him, but said calmly, "You seem to be getting easier to fool now."
Upon hearing this, Wang Meng instantly realized that he had misunderstood. He smiled and looked at the person on the bed to change the subject: "Why hasn't Li Chu woken up yet?"
"It should be soon."
Zhang Chuzhen was unaware of what was happening here; all she knew was that it was annoying to be woken up while she was sleeping.
Guozi, looking flustered, said to her, "Chuzhen, those two, Lao Mai and his companion, didn't die and went back. Will they come looking for trouble?"
"Come on then." She hadn't had enough sleep yet, and her morning grumpiness had nowhere to go, so coming here would be a good opportunity to get into a fight.
She sent the fruit away and lay back down.
Zhang Chuzhen was a little disappointed that no one came to cause trouble when she woke up from her sleep.

The next morning, Zhang Chuzhen was sitting outside in a daze when he suddenly heard a faint noise coming from the desert. He turned around and went back into the tent.
There were several girls inside, and they looked like they wanted to leave.
Zhang Chuzhen didn't have much luggage. She carefully packed the sleeping bag that had been given to her, carried it in her hand, and then stuffed two bottles of water and a few packets of food into her pocket.
"Chuzhen, why are you suddenly packing your things?"
"This place is about to collapse, you all need to pack your things quickly, hurry up!" After saying that, she went out to inform the others.
I'm just letting you know a little bit in advance; whether you believe it or not is their problem.
Although the three of them didn't realize what was going on, they obeyed and, thinking that she wouldn't speak without reason, they all started packing things.
Zhang Chuzhen told Wu Xie, who was leading the way, about the situation. For some reason, Wu Xie didn't ask any more questions and went directly to inform everyone.
She felt that this person must have had some suspicions, and seemed to have anticipated this.
After hearing Wu Xie's words, everyone could only pack their things with skepticism.
But soon, they saw the sand begin to sink, and everyone immediately fled for their lives.
"Run, run!"
"Run for your life!"
Zhang Chuzhen ran out first, and the others followed until they reached a safe place, at which point they stopped.
"Why is this happening?" Su Nan asked Wu Xie, panting.
Wu Xie explained, "It's quicksand. It was caused by the underground palace flipping over yesterday. This area is hollow underneath."
Fortunately, everyone knew in advance this time. Although it was still very dangerous and we didn't get everything we needed, at least everyone managed to get something that was most important to them.
However, food and water are still scarce, and it's unclear how long they can last.
Lulu was even more agitated; all her things were gone, and she had only managed to grab some food outside.
Some people wanted to risk going back to retrieve their belongings, but they were all stopped by the others.
Wu Xie: "We can't go back. It's all empty space down there. If we go, we'll sink right in."
There was nothing they could do. Sure enough, after a short while, they saw that their vehicles and campsite in the distance had all sunk into the sand and were completely buried.
Sister Dan looked worried: "How are we going to get out of here? On foot? We didn't bring any food."
Marila: "There are hardly any places to resupply around here, so everyone should conserve the food they brought."
In the critical situation, not many people's first reaction was to grab food; the film crew, for example, brought what they considered to be the most important footage.
