Hao Zhi stood waist deep in the cold water and stared at the ghost in front of him: "one day, I will kill you myself. You'd better kill me now, otherwise you will regret it in the future!"

The ghost smiled: "ask you again, what do you rely on to kill me?"

"You and I have the same ability, and Lin Tao said that I can not only travel through space, but also through time, as long as I exercise strong enough..."

"Then you have to strengthen first!" the ghost looked at him sarcastically. "Don't just talk big. I'll give you the chance to kill me, but you're not worthy to be my opponent now..."

He held out his hand, grabbed Hao Zhi's hair and suddenly pressed it into the water. Hao Zhi couldn't resist his huge strange force. His head was submerged in the water and choked several mouthfuls of cold and piercing water. When he looked up again, he coughed violently.

Like a cat playing with mice, the ghost smiled and pressed Hao Zhi into the water again: "drink more. You'll thank me later!"

Hao Zhi couldn't struggle. He gulped a few mouthfuls of water and struggled violently with his hands. For a long time, he felt the ghost loose his hand, so he suddenly raised his head and gasped. His anger made him tremble.

"Ha ha, is it just like this?" the ghost laughed, then grabbed Haozhi's collar and referred him to shore. With a little effort, the two men disappeared again in the air, falling in the air and dropping a few drops of water on Hao Zhi's body. The air, like the jelly touched by jelly, trembled several times, and the ripples of time and space were restored.

Hao Zhigang came ashore from the cold water. He felt that his bones were cold, but he felt hot again in an instant, like falling into a steamer.

Around, the hot air was rising, drying people's throat and eyes. The dazzling light dazzled his eyes. There were no clouds in the blue sky, the fields were open, and the places where he could see were all golden and bright. Hao Zhi found that this was a desert world when his hands were covered with sand!

All around are sand dunes that can't be seen at a glance. They are tens of meters high and low. They are like a golden sea solidified by time. A hot wind blows, and the sand grains on the surface roll up, roll out a small whirlwind and dissipate in an instant.

In the distance, a peeping lizard came out of the sand and crawled away in surprise. Under the barren sand dunes, there were some Tumbleweed, which curled up into a ball and rolled aimlessly with the hot wind.

"Do you regret drinking less now?" the ghost appeared on the sand dune behind Hao Zhi and looked at him with his arm.

"Where is this?"

"Oh, you've returned home... I sent you back. You should thank me!" the ghost raised his hand to block the sun so as to protect his white skin. "As the saying goes, you have to die in your own country when you die, don't you?"

"Nonsense! What I asked is why this is a desert?" although Hao Zhi talked to the ghost, he was constantly amazed. Across the distance of half the earth, the ghost didn't have a trace of fatigue on his face. His physical strength and consciousness were so strong that he couldn't imagine.

"Oh, don't you want to be stronger? I'm here to help you. This is Taklimakan, desert no man's land, the center, the most famous fire purgatory on earth. You can't get out. It's up to you. I have something else to do. I'll go first. When you practice your transition ability, you're welcome to come to me..."

The ghost looked at him meaningfully, "but if you can't resist and die here, it can only show that you are just an ordinary guy. It's no pity..."

As soon as he turned around, he looked as if he was about to leave, but he turned back and added: "don't say I didn't warn you. The desert covers an area of 330000 square kilometers. If you want to go out on your feet, unless there is a hump! Try your ability again, maybe there is a glimmer of hope!"

With that, he stretched out his arms and fell back. He disappeared in the ripples of time and space, like lying in the river, and disappeared in an instant!

"I'm Cao NIMA. How could I be beaten so badly by you if I could make it out?" Hao Zhi scolded bitterly as he looked at the empty sand dune after the ghost left.

The ghost said that consciousness was the only way for him to leave here. Hao Zhi found a place with the sun on the back of the sand dune and sat down and had a calm rest for a while. Once he was silent, he thought of Wang Yanke, who had suffered misfortune. He bowed his head and cried silently, but he could only comfort himself. Survival is the most important thing. Keep this hatred in mind first!

Jump!

He sat cross legged and tried to feel the consciousness energy hidden in his body. The flow of energy was like blood in his blood vessels, with its own strength and direction. However, after this struggle, Hao Zhi could not feel its existence completely.

His ability was originally overdrawn. Lin Tao used activin to force him to improve his physical fitness before he could use it again. The effect of activin has long passed. Coupled with such a long period of struggle, injury and torture, his body has been overdrawn to the end, and his lower leg will tremble constantly when standing, Want to use the transition ability that needs to consume strong consciousness energy under this condition

It's more impossible than dreaming!

But people always have to live. Hao Zhi can't use his transition ability after fighting everything. He has to measure the desert with his feet. His strong will to survive urges him to trudge constantly.

Three hours later

Hao Zhi bared his teeth and breathed the hot air. Now it is the time when the sun is about to set. The whole desert has been baked in the hot sun all day. The ground is too hot to touch, because the steam and even the air are trembling slightly.

"Shit... What did you say to help me? Didn't it make my death more painful? The ghost of the mud horse, fortunately, the sun sets, or I'll be cooked in another half an hour!" Hao Zhi scolded and leaned on a branch picked up on the way. His lips were white and cracked into blood red, and even his hair was baked up by the hot air.

I'm afraid the most embarrassing time in his life is now. Hao Zhi, like a beggar from ancient times, stood at the top of the sand dune and looked around. The horizon was far away. He couldn't see the end at a glance. There was no road under his feet. He only knew that Taklimakan was in the west of the motherland and Bohai Bay was in the East, so he could walk with his back to the sun

I can't see a little hope. The boundless desert and 330000 square kilometers of desert hinterland will take two or three days to drive across, let alone walk!

Hao Zhi sighed sadly. Standing on the top of the sand dune, he shouted angrily: Ghost, why do you wait for me? I'll throw you into space sooner or later to see how you harm others!

Shouting requires physical strength. Hao Zhi smiled helplessly, and then continued to stare at his shadow. Stepping on the shadow, he hobbled forward all the way. The clothes behind him had already dried like leaves after autumn. He would click as soon as he walked.

After walking for more than half an hour, Hao Zhi completely felt dizzy and weak.

Fortunately, the sun has fallen behind the sand dunes, and the world begins to cool.

As soon as the heat dissipated, great sleepiness hit him. He hasn't closed his eyes day and night. He went to the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum at midnight the day before. He followed Lin Tao all the way to his East China Sea laboratory and jumped to the magnesium country. He spent so much time in high tension, coupled with the endless repetition of sand dunes one after another, Like a hypnotic curve picture, it flows in front of me and repeats boring and boring.

Finally, he felt a little more comfortable. It was not so hot. Hao Zhizhi only felt that his head was as big as a bucket and his eyelids were too heavy to open. So he judged the wind direction, slid down the shady side of a sand dune to the bottom, leaned wearily against the sand and fell asleep.

It's getting dark and the temperature is falling rapidly. There are no conditions to preserve the ground temperature in the desert, so the heat dissipation is also very fast. Soon, he feels cold

The stars all over the sky are lit up. A spectacular Milky way lies across the sky. Meteors flash past. The blue and blue night sky is very beautiful. The desert stretches between heaven and earth like a black ocean. The starry sky is like a huge bowl upside down on the earth. The vast and boundless world is like a great photographic work. It is spacious and pleasant

But Hao Zhi didn't have time to appreciate it. He hugged his arm, shivered and tried his best to get his body into the warm sand.

"Have you got a fever," Hao Zhi asked himself, half asleep and half awake. "How do you feel that your head is so hot? It must have been excited by the ghost in the biting cold stream, and suddenly exposed to the high temperature of dozens of degrees. You're sick! Numb, it's worse..."

With his eyes closed, he murmured and cursed the damn ghost. He kept planing the sand under his body with his hands. There was still some heat at the bottom of the dry sand. He got in, got in, and only half of his body lay on the ground, shivering.

In a trance, he fell asleep again. The world in his dream was hazy and bright, like a school. Many bright flags were inserted on the roadside. Many people were running on the runway. It was a sports meeting. He saw Wang Yanke jumping and laughing in the audience stand, watching herself running wildly in the 3000 meter race. She was cheering for herself

It was just a fragment of his many memories about Wang Yanke. She was wearing a light blue school uniform, her legs were slender and smooth, her face was sweating in the sun, and she shouted her name, come on, come on

Come on?

Hao zhicrazy runs on the runway like a man. It seems that she knows she's dreaming. She's dead. She won't cheer for herself anymore

In a trance, I felt that the picture in my dream was gradually collapsing. Wang Yanke's shadow became fragmented. The whole stand was blurred and deformed. It was kneaded into a waste old photo. The world darkened and turned into an endless desert, cold as an ice cellar.

He trembled and turned over, muttering, Ke Ke, I miss you so much

Wailing, Hao Zhi's body water has evaporated in this extreme environment. He can't even shed a tear when he cries half asleep.

"Hehe, can you cry? Waste!" the ghost's voice seemed to ring in his ear again. Hao Zhi clenched his teeth in a semi coma and smiled, "I don't have tears now. I won't cry for you anymore!"
