With that, he jumped down from the sand dune and started walking towards the opposite side at a brisk pace. Li Cu felt it was a little strange, and also looked up at the sky. He saw that a large dark cloud had gathered in the sky just now, but the wind started to blow and tear it apart, revealing the sky. Yang Hao said, "Why do I think this whole thing is so ridiculous? Pear, let's go home."

Li Cu looked at the sky, and then at the surrounding desert. He didn't know why, but he began to shake all over.

He realized the meaning behind Wu Xie's words, and shuddered. There was something wrong with Wu Xie, but Li Cu didn't know what he had gone through before. What he had said was an understatement, and in the end, it must be quite terrible and serious.

"Live through the next three days." Su Wan looked at his backpack and snapped his fingers. "It's very simple."

Li Cu suddenly rushed down half of the sand dune and shouted at Wu Xie, "Where is this place?"

Wu Xie didn't look back, but said, "You're inside a gate. Don't try to get out. No one can get out without me. "

The three men watched Wu Xie disappear into the darkness and looked at each other, "When will the next three days start? It's almost twelve o'clock." Yang Hao asked.

"I think it starts right now." Su Wan raised his hand. A small red light on his watch lit up and began to beep.

"What kind of function is that?"

"The weather disaster alarm starts automatically when there's a large change in humidity and pressure. Generally, the red light comes on when there's a thunderstorm." Su Wan said, "Ah, I only brought an umbrella. What should I do?"

Li Cu looked at the sky and saw that the dark clouds appeared to be very thick. They couldn't feel the wind, but it must have been blowing as if a dragon was rolling in the clouds. The clouds were getting lower and lower, and looked like they would crash into the desert.

"Will it thunder?" Li Cu muttered to himself.

Su Wan nodded.

"I wish the lightning would strike you to death." Yang Hao said as he watched Su Wan take out a flowery umbrella the size of a small hat. "That's a child's umbrella. Why did you bring an umbrella? What are you going to do with it traveling in the desert?"

Su Wan pointed to the sky and looked innocent. Then, a flash of lightning lit up the whole desert and rain started pouring down.

"Behind the gate?" Li Cu asked, wondering why he was given a riddle. Behind what gate? The gates of hell?

He felt a burning sensation on his face, and when he touched it, he found that the places on his skin that had been hit with the water had begun to blister and peel.

"Fuck!" Yang Hao shouted, "Acid Rain!"

It was actually only corrosive rain, but the ensuing pain had them scurrying around looking for shelter.

They rushed to the exposed truck and tried to open the door first, but found that it was sealed and couldn't be shaken open.

They rushed back again, and all packed into Liang Wan's tent in a panic.

Liang Wan had been woken by the thunder, and as soon as she sat up, she saw three boys rushing in with blisters all over their faces. She exclaimed in horror.

Fearing that the water would touch Liang Wan's skin, the three men immediately stuck to the sides after they came in, but the tent was very small. Even if they stuck as close to the tent's edge as possible, the four people were almost clinging to each other.

"Get out." Liang Wan said, "Otherwise, I won't be so nice."

"If we go out, we'll die. This rain can melt people." Yang Hao said, "You can't be so cruel."

Liang Wan looked at their hands and frowned: "The three of you, take off your clothes!"

Li Cu was stunned. "You don't have to be that kind. We're not in the mood now."

"Cut the crap." Liang Wan said: "The water will make your clothes wet and corrode your muscles. Take off your clothes and wash yourself with clean water."

"Our clean water is in the bag outside." Su Wan replied.

Yang Hao said: "With sand! You can also use sand to take a bath."

"Washing your body with sulfuric acid and rubbing it with sandpaper was one of the top ten torture methods of the Qing Dynasty." Su Wan said, "Can we use saliva? Let's spit it out and collect some."

As he said that, he spit, and Li Cu rolled his eyes. Su Wan was certainly unreliable, but his statement wasn't necessarily useless.

"Pee! Sister, do you have a bottle?"

The three men peed into Liang Wan's canteen in the small tent, and then carefully wiped their bodies. After Yang Hao finished the last bit, Su Wan looked at Liang Wan: "Sister also needs to show a little support." Liang Wan slapped his big mouth, which meant that she also had to wash her hands with pee.

The whole tent was filled with the overpowering stench of urine, and Liang Wan was about to collapse. She asked, "Why is your urine so smelly?!" Su Wan proudly answered, "Virgin. I'm hot-blooded and proud."

Halfway through the wash, Li Cu suddenly felt something dripping on his head and scolded, "Who the hell peed up here?" He suddenly realized that that couldn't be right, and looked up, seeing that a hole had actually been melted in the top of the tent.

He put Liang Wan's flashlight near the top of the tent and saw that it had been corroded so thin that it could be breached at any time.

Instead of living for three days, it's more a question of whether we can live for another three hours. Fucking Wu Xie, why didn't you think to warn me?! Yes, you may have a purpose for doing everything, but why did you have me face such a difficult situation alone? Aren't you afraid I can't make it?

While Li Cu was thinking, there were several more thunderclaps outside, and the rain got heavier. His ears were filled with the sound of it, as if ten thousand machine guns were firing.

He suddenly realized what Wu Xie's purpose was and said to Liang Wan, "Put on your shoes and wrap up all the exposed parts of your body."

"What do you mean to do?"

"We're going down. Underground."

"Those vines..."

"Those vines can't hear us. They can't hear anything now. Wu Xie knew that if he wanted me to go down just now, I'd definitely rather die than follow, so he let me choose. I'm going down there to beat him for all of this shit."

Black Glasses was there, so he'd probably be the one getting a beating, but it didn't matter. He had to show what he thought of all of this.

The four of them lifted up the tent, cut off the bottom, then groped for their bags. They collected all of their luggage, and began to stumble down the sand dune like COSPLAY turtles, heading in the direction Wu Xie had taken. When they got lost, the three men held up the tent while Liang Wan looked around.

As they walked all the way to the dune where Wu Xie had appeared, a dozen tiny holes had appeared in the tent. They were circling around, when Su Wan asked, "Where's the entrance?"

Li Cu squatted down and glanced around. A bolt of lightning flashed, and he saw the Parting in Sorrow marker four steps away from them: "There!"

The marker that was left by Wu Xie.

They all walked over, came to the front of it, and covered the marker with the tent. Li Cu went to pull it out, and had to tug a few times before it became loose. The sand under them suddenly collapsed, and the four of them fell down, along with the sand, water, and tent.
