There was a row of very strange footprints coming towards this side, and the footprints were still clearly left on the sand dunes.

Where is this?

I looked around, and there was only this lonely wall.

It looked like a city tower, but the walls on both sides had collapsed, and only this platform was intact, three stories high, with a crescent-shaped space on the top, full of stones.

In the middle was the resting place, and below was a spiral stone staircase.

"I'm so hungry!"

I felt my stomach growling.

I reluctantly ate a few bites of the dry food they left behind, and then went to the water source below to find water.

Walking under the city wall, there was an oasis that looked like a hole cut by nature in the desert, full of cool spring water, clear to the bottom, and even a lot of fish.

Both sides were covered with green grass.

In an instant, I felt like I had returned to the origin of life. I held the water, drank a few gulps, and then lay on the grass, basking in the sun.

It would be a good thing if I could stay here forever.

I kept thinking so in the first few days.

But later, I found that a person can't last long in a civilization far away from humans. Without companions and without any communication, he will become a useless person.

At night, besides me, I found other living things here.

Of course, I should have thought of it long ago. This is the only water source around the desert. They are likely to come here. So, what I can do is to try not to let those living things know where I am hiding.

So, I found some tools around and made some simple traps around the city wall. For example, the simplest one is to dig a hole from the flat ground, then cover it with some simple lids and fill it with sand.

It works every time!

Maybe I can catch some small animals. At first, I could catch some carnivorous animals that appear in the desert at night. Those are small in size, and some of them can't even be named. They are not much bigger than rabbits.

However, there are always some big roars at night, which keep me awake all night.

Ordinary traps can't deal with those guys.

But what I can guarantee is that as long as I don't leave this city wall, there will be no danger to my life. Because I spent several days blocking the entrance of the city wall with boulders, which was considered a door.

And I also set up a lot of traps around the stone steps.

For example, I buried rusty blades and chains around the stone steps, or used some nut shells, so that I could hear any sound of walking clearly.

In this way, I slept a little more peacefully.

I even tried to fish in the water source.

But I found that it was a very strenuous thing. And what I got in the end might be just a pool of turbid spring water.

Just when I arranged everything on the city wall, this place could completely become my castle. Obviously, those people never thought that they could not trap a person who survives in the wild.

Unknowingly, I have been here for more than half a month.

I even began to wonder, if Mo Lan and Da Kui didn't find me, where would they go?

After all, Peng Jiamu went to the northwest to investigate and went out to find a water source and disappeared. In the next few decades, no matter how big the battle was, his body was not found, so you can imagine how difficult this was.

So, the best way is to give up.

Now, it suddenly occurred to me that I was like Robinson Crusoe who was lost on a desert island.

But I don't think I have as good conditions as him. At least he can find a companion, the gorilla named Friday. He can also grow wheat for a living.

And I always expect that one day someone will pass by here, find me, and take me out.

It's so unlikely.

But one night, when I was about to fall asleep as usual, suddenly, there was movement under the city wall. Then there was a noisy sound, as if it disturbed some animals, and they fled everywhere.

"Did another animal fall into the trap?"

I suddenly lost all my sleepiness and became a little excited. However, I was a little worried, praying that it would not be the black-fur animal again. I was about to vomit after eating the sour meat.

When I opened the stone door and walked out carefully with a torch, something fell into the trap.

"Wait!"

I immediately became sober.

There seemed to be a row of traces of something in the back. It couldn't be... snakes! For some reason, I have a natural fear of this kind of creature. No matter whether it is a big snake or a small snake, poisonous or non-poisonous, I have a shadow.

"Help!"

When I looked down, there was no snake below.

It was an off-road vehicle with four people in it.

The four people were a little shocked when they saw me. Obviously, they could not imagine that someone would come to check with a torch, and they thought they saw a ghost.

"You... are you a human or a ghost!"

Someone asked me before I even opened my mouth.

After I pulled them up, they noticed me. These four people were all sturdy men, capable, and about thirty years old.

"What do you do?"

I asked.

Those people seemed a little anxious, staring at the sunken off-road vehicle for a while, and then looking at me.
