Chapter 391 Illusion

Just as Lin Mo was deep in thought, Jin Feng suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Lin Mo, the sand seems to have stopped moving!"

Lin Mo and Chu Xin were instantly overjoyed, and even Zhang Yuan, who was having difficulty breathing, felt a glimmer of hope.

"Captain, don't move. Chu Xin and I will try to pull together!"

Although Lin Mo didn't know why the quicksand had stopped moving, she knew this was a rare opportunity.

"Push harder!" Lin Mo's voice tore through the scorching air.

Her and Chu Xin's palms were rubbed raw by the ropes, and their sweat evaporated quickly from their protective suits.

Jin Feng saw that the two of them were also very anxious, but he couldn't move; he couldn't cause them any more trouble.

And so, he felt his body being pulled upwards, the sand slowly leaving his body, and gradually he felt relaxed.

Zhang Yuan felt it even more clearly; he felt that the torture was finally coming to an end, and the air that had been squeezed out of his lungs was finally coming back.

He couldn't help but want to take a deep breath, but he was afraid of affecting his teammates and getting stuck in the quicksand again.

He could only greedily take small sips of air.

"Don't stop! Keep pulling!" Lin Mo knelt on the edge of the quicksand area, facing imminent danger.

Even though the muscles in their faces were contorted from exertion, they were filled with joy.

Jin Feng and Zhang Yuan felt themselves being gradually pulled towards safety, and they were overjoyed.

Finally, at the last meter, Lin Mo and Chu Xin pulled with all their might.

Jin Feng and his companion rolled onto the hard sand, getting away from the deadly trap.

Lin Mo and Chu Xin were also exhausted and sat on the ground, panting heavily.

They no longer had the energy to blame Zhang Yuan for his unauthorized actions; now they just felt that staying alive was enough.

"I'm sorry! It's all my fault. I almost harmed the captain!" Zhang Yuan said remorsefully.

Lin Mo looked at the other person's red eyes, but ultimately said nothing.

Jin Feng sat up and coughed twice.

"Don't be so reckless next time!"

He didn't blame Zhang Yuan; instead, Zhang Yuan felt even more upset.

"Captain, your protective suit is torn!" Chu Xin suddenly exclaimed.

Zhang Yuan staggered over, and Lin Mo quickly surrounded him.

Oh no, the captain's protective suit has a hole worn through in the waist area by sand!

At this temperature, if the protective suit tears, it's tantamount to certain death!

Sure enough, the moment Lin Mo looked up, he saw that the captain was already covered in sweat.

After the protective suit was damaged, the cooling system inside failed.

Heat will enter the body, while cold air will block it, causing the captain's body temperature to rise slowly. Eventually, he will die from heatstroke, with his internal body temperature rising.

Zhang Yuan frantically covered the large hole, shouting, "Give my protective suit to the captain! My life originally belonged to the captain!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your life is your own!"

"Captain..." Zhang Yuan cried uncontrollably.

Lin Mo looked up in the direction of the military base—it was still at least two hundred meters away.

“Go there! There’s no time to go back to the dungeon!” she decided. “There might be repair materials there.”

"No need." Jin Feng shook his head, his voice hoarse but calm.

“Take the rest of the people to the base, and leave me here.”

"Captain, you know this is impossible," Lin Xia said sternly. "Zhang Yuan, Chu Xin, let's hurry!"

Jin Feng wanted to refuse, but he suddenly twitched and let out a weak groan.

His face was already showing an abnormal flush, which is an early symptom of heatstroke.

Without a second thought, the group quickly carried Jin Feng and ran towards the base.

In the distorted air of the heatwave, their figures moved swiftly and decisively.

They quickly arrived at the base.

Once inside the base, although it was still wasteland, the temperature was much better than outside.

Jin Feng's vision began to blur, and the high temperature seeped through his damaged protective suit, corroding his body.

In a daze, he was forced to swallow a mouthful of water.

"No, no..."

In this high-temperature world, water is an extremely precious resource, and they only carried two bottles because they were on a mission.

Jin Feng knew how precious this water was and how many points it would cost, so how could he just give it to him so easily?

"Captain, don't talk, you need to drink water now!"

Lin Mo didn't care; water could be exchanged for more, but the captain was more precious than water.

The other two didn't disagree at all. Zhang Yuan even wanted to take off his protective suit and give it to the captain, while Chu Xin felt that the captain had been so good to them in the past, and losing the captain was something no one could accept.

"You, you all..." Jin Feng was deeply moved.

Seeing that Jin Feng felt much better after drinking the water, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but not much.

The most urgent task is to find a way to repair the captain's protective suit.

"Zhang Yuan, you stay here and keep an eye on the captain. Chu Xin and I will go inside and see if there's anything suitable for the captain to use."

"it is good!"

The group split up, and Lin Mo and Chu Xin walked until they came to a fork in the road.

"Lin Mo, let's split up, that way we'll be faster!" Chu Xin was also worried about the captain.

"Okay, be careful!"

After they nodded, they went their separate ways.

Lin Mo searched carefully and suddenly found something that looked like a plastic bag.

She rushed over in a hurry, but the thing shattered the moment she touched it.

Lin Mo was extremely disappointed, even though this was something that often happened in the high-temperature world.

Lin Liuyi arrived at this time, and Lin Mo thought she was hallucinating due to the high temperature.

"Hey, miss, are you alright?"

Lin Liuyi looked at the person opposite her, who was initially delighted but then looked completely bewildered.

"Oh, I'm fine. Who are you?" She became slightly wary.

Lin Liuyi started going through the procedures as usual, and Lin Mo thought he was still hallucinating.

"Are you from another world? Do you have water where you are?"

"Yes, yes, how much do you want?"

"What is the price?" Lin Mo asked directly.

In this wasteland, there is no such thing as free kindness.

"Price? What do you have there? What's with that earthy-colored fruit?" Lin Liuyi asked curiously.

Lin Mo thought she was hallucinating and that the other person was trying to trick her into talking, but there was nothing wrong with saying it.

She then explained the affairs of her world and stared at Lin Liuyi.

"What? A world of extreme heat! Fruits growing on the ground itself? And they're all made of soil?"

Lin Liuyi finally understood why the other person had asked her for water. She was generous and immediately sent her several bottles of water.

Lin Mo touched the cool water and finally realized that this was not an illusion.

At this moment, Jin Feng felt dizzy, and his fingertips began to sting, which was a sign that the high temperature was damaging his nerves.
