1838 Chapter 45 – Rescued

The sun! The intensity of the sun felt as if he were in a volcanic hell. Li Cu was gasping for breath as he walked under the sun, each step he took was particularly slow, almost as if he wasn’t moving at all. Behind him, a trail of footprints was left on the sand dunes; sometimes sparse, sometimes dense, along with many strange little sand pits, clearly left by someone who had fallen and then gotten back up.

The white desert was long gone from his sight, as was the strange lake and the wreckage of the car. The desert had reverted to its usual yellow. Li Cu couldn’t remember when this change had occurred; he was merely driven by instinct, continuing to walk forward according to the GPS direction.

How long had he been walking? Ten hours? He didn’t know. He only remembered it had gotten dark once, during which he still had the energy to eat some dry rations and find a relatively safe, shaded side of a sand dune to rest and sleep.

He couldn’t recall exactly how long he had walked. The thirty kilometers mentioned by the black bear seemed to stretch out to three thousand kilometers. However, a small fragment of rationality left in his heart told him that it was just that he was walking too slowly.

Walking on the sand was extremely difficult; dehydration and high temperatures made every step a struggle. The fact that he had survived this long was already quite remarkable, and he felt it was nothing short of a miracle that he was still moving forward.

“Don’t die, for heaven’s sake!” He often thought of this phrase. In his hallucinations, if that guy were still in front of him before he set off, he would definitely throw this line back at him.

Damn it, come and try it!

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a long strip of strange color appear in the desert.

What the hell, hallucinations, real hallucinations have appeared. Damn it, why isn’t it water or a beautiful woman? What is this thing? It looks even drier than the desert.

Li Cu cursed inwardly and walked towards it. As he got closer, he suddenly realized that it was an old road. He froze for a moment, his legs nearly giving out beneath him. It seemed that the black bear hadn’t tricked him; he had felt several times on the road that he was being played. Despite being a pervert, this black bear was still quite reliable.

He nearly crawled onto the road. Oh no! This road was definitely not the end; he still had a long way to go. He calculated and decided to drink the remaining half of his water bottle to hasten his conclusion. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of scalding hot water, but in reality, this half bottle only contained half a cup.

He continued to walk forward. With a solid road underfoot, it became much easier to walk, and he suddenly realized a problem: how did that black bear know so many details about this place? But he didn’t want to think about it anymore; he needed to focus all his energy on walking.

Four hours later, a modern Jeep crossed the middle of the Jilin Desert and spotted Li Cu. At that time, he was lying in the middle of the road, camouflaged in the dazzling glare of the sunlight, nearly crushed by the Jeep.

The people in the car were locals; they had rescue experience and immediately provided Li Cu with saline and took him to the hospital.

Li Cu was severely dehydrated and fell into a coma. When he woke up, it had been eleven days since he collapsed on the road. His memory began to gradually return on the fifteenth day. When he saw the hospital ceiling, his father’s face, and Liang Wan’s familiar expression, he immediately relaxed. He thought to himself, “I’m finally back; everything is over.”
