The next day,
As dawn broke, Ye Feng woke up and skillfully opened the [Shop].
[Soft Care Sanitary Napkins x2, Survival Coins 60]
[Milk x4, Survival Coins 90]
[Braised Chicken Drumstick x3, Survival Coins 180]
[Mung Beans x1, Survival Coins 50]
"Oh, there are mung beans!"
Ye Feng was quite pleased to see this.
Because after entering the extremely hot and dry sand dunes, Ye Feng had been suffering from internal heat, and his throat was inflamed. These mung beans were perfect for reducing internal heat.
[Mineral Water x5, Survival Coins 250]
[Cola x4, Survival Coins 200]
[Ice Cream x2, Survival Coins 180]
[Solar Air Conditioner x1, Survival Coins 500]
"Phew, it finally refreshed!"
Seeing the last item, joy surged through Ye Feng, and his mood became uplifted.
He had been looking forward to air conditioning for some time. Although the Hummer had air conditioning, it was not enough in the sand dunes and consumed a lot of fuel, leaving Ye Feng with only a few barrels of gasoline...
Furthermore, although Ye Feng insisted on training his body under harsh conditions, he did not want to be in a harsh environment 24 hours a day...
To increase the probability of refreshing other supplies, Ye Feng had even turned off the refreshing of hot food!
Afterwards, Ye Feng made a rough calculation and bought all the supplies, costing a total of 1510 Survival Coins, with a Luck value of 35/400.
After breakfast, the two continued their journey.
...
At noon,
"Big brother, at our current speed, we should reach Ocean Paradise on the map by dusk," Xiao Xiao said to Ye Feng as she looked at the map.
"Faster than I expected," Ye Feng nodded, then handed her the specially cooled mung bean porridge, hot chicken drumsticks, braised eggs, and other meats, "Eat up, this mung bean porridge is very refreshing!"
"Okay~"
...
At dusk, as the sun set,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao finally arrived near the area marked as Ocean Paradise on the map.
"Holy cow..."
As the Hummer turned a large sand dune, Ye Feng was astonished by the sight behind him.
What appeared before Ye Feng was a place that looked like a fortress, with high walls all around, complete with watchtowers. People on the walls held guns and telescopes, observing their surroundings.
From the large iron gate at the entrance, inside the high walls, were modern reinforced concrete buildings!
...
After paying the entry fee of two small bread rolls, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao successfully passed through the large iron gate.
Then, guided by a man with a gun, Ye Feng parked the car under a metal-framed shed.
Many off-road vehicles of various styles were parked there; it seemed to be Ocean Paradise's unified parking lot.
"Hmm?"
Glancing at the dozens of off-road vehicles in the parking lot, Ye Feng frowned slightly.
Among them, several off-road vehicles had been modified with a lot of sharp metal, almost becoming iron hedgehogs. He had encountered this type of vehicle near the big rocks; they belonged to the desert bandits...
Moreover, several vehicles in the parking lot of unknown brands had a skull logo spray-painted on them...
And a few Toyota Land Cruisers had a large rat spray-painted on them...
"If you are staying overnight at Ocean Paradise, you can park here for free. Otherwise, there is a parking fee!"
At this moment, the man with the gun spoke.
"Ocean Paradise?"
Ye Feng looked at him with some confusion.
The man with the gun pointed to a tall building next to the main road just inside the iron gate and then left.
"Two explorers who have traveled from afar, let me show you around!"
As Ye Feng was staring at the tall building, with the words "Ocean Paradise" written on its outer wall, a man's voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Feng turned to look and saw the middle-aged man who had been standing by the iron gate earlier, wearing a sun hat.
He remembered this man. The other party had been looking around by the iron gate, occasionally talking to some people.
And when Ye Feng's Hummer passed through the iron gate, this guy followed.
"Young and handsome explorer, my name is Qi Qu Dan. I'm the famous know-it-all of Ocean Paradise. You can ask me anything!"
"Oh, you can call me Dan Dan!"
Seeing Ye Feng looking at him, the middle-aged man immediately introduced himself.
After speaking, he took off his hat and bowed slightly to Ye Feng.
"Qi Qu Dan... Dan Dan..."
The middle-aged man's name left Ye Feng speechless.
Although Qi Qu Dan was very polite to Ye Feng and offered to show him and Xiao Xiao around, Ye Feng ignored him.
Ye Feng was no longer the person he was when he first arrived in this world. If he guessed correctly, Qi Qu Dan would definitely charge for the tour, and it might be outrageously expensive.
Without further thought, Ye Feng looked at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, let's go, we'll just wander around nearby!"
There was still some time before they could completely descend the mountain, so Ye Feng decided to take Xiao Xiao for a walk. Firstly, it would allow them to get familiar with the surroundings, and secondly, it would satisfy Xiao Xiao's curiosity.
After all, Xiao Xiao had lived in a confined space her entire life and was very interested in places she hadn't been to and things she hadn't seen...
"Okay!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Xiao Xiao was clearly very happy. She immediately took Ye Feng's hand and walked forward.
Seeing this, Qi Qu Dan was not discouraged and did not leave. He simply followed the two from a distance.
As Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao wandered, they soon came to a place with a long queue of vehicles.
These vehicles were not off-road vehicles or motorcycles, but the kind of water tank trucks that Ye Feng had seen before.
"These vehicles belong to the various factions in the desert. They are queuing up in advance to get water as early as possible tomorrow!"
"In front of these water tank trucks is Ocean Paradise, which is also the only well in the entire desert!"
Just as Ye Feng was wondering, Qi Qu Dan walked up and explained.
As he spoke, he walked a few steps to the side, stepped onto a large rock, and pointed the direction of the well to Ye Feng.
"Beep beep~"
Suddenly, a water tank truck honked its horn, and then Ye Feng saw a water tank truck, under the command of two men with guns, driving over.
This water tank truck did not queue but drove directly through a side channel to the front and stopped at the head of the line.
"This vehicle belongs to Ocean Paradise. It's not here to fetch water, but to refill the well. This way, the many water tank trucks waiting to fetch water tomorrow will have something to fetch!"
Qi Qu Dan's voice sounded again.
As soon as he finished speaking, people at the water truck that had just reached the well began to set up a tank and started injecting water into the well.
"What the heck is this? Drawing water from the well and filling it at the same time?"
"Not to mention the potential seepage and waste... With so many water tank trucks waiting to draw water, and only one vehicle filling it?"
Looking around, Ye Feng was puzzled.
"Explorer, this well in Ocean Paradise is very special. Once a truckload of external water is injected, the well will have a steady supply of water tomorrow!"
As if sensing Ye Feng's confusion, Qi Qu Dan spoke again.
