I'm trapped in a cube

A few days later, Li Luo finally brought the cube to the edge of the oasis city mentioned on the map.

From the very beginning, Li Luo had been staring straight ahead, as if she had seen something that shocked her.

Mo Ling didn't know why she was surprised until she got closer.

It was a lake, a deep and blue lake that appeared very suddenly among the sand dunes.

This was not a small beach. Mo Ling's field of vision extended downward, and he could not even reach the bottom of the lake.

The lake water seeps into the surrounding sand dunes, nourishing the soil and turning the surrounding sand into moist silt.

There are even some tough weeds growing in patches on the shore, with their roots deeply embedded in the sand. These intertwined root systems play a great role in fixing the sand.

Where did this lake come from?

Li Luo stepped forward, observed the lake surface, carefully came to the shore, and picked up a handful of lake water.

"This is a saltwater lake." She frowned and said.

saltwater lake?

There are two main reasons for the formation of saltwater lakes.

One is a remnant of an ancient ocean.

The other is the end point of an inland river. Due to relatively large evaporation, the minerals brought by the river are concentrated and turn into a saltwater lake.

Mo Ling didn't know the origin of this lake. He only knew that the lake appeared very abruptly and was incompatible with the disorderly sand dunes.

Li Luo walked along the shore for some distance and finally found the road.

A man-made metal bridge stretched into the distance.

The bridge is very majestic, spacious and neat, with lanes and sidewalks readily available. It doesn't look like a temporary facility.

As soon as he arrived at the bridge, Li Luo was stopped by a machine sentry.

"Please show me your nameplate." A mechanical voice came from the sentry.

Li Luo took out the nameplate. The camera above the sentry's head was aimed at the nameplate and then at Li Luo. It quickly passed the review.

"Welcome to the Oasis."

It opens the gate and makes a welcoming gesture, which is very humane.

Although he knew that this was all set by the program, this also shocked Mo Ling. The degree of modernization of Oasis City seemed to be very high.

Li Luo stepped onto the bridge. Some cleaning machines were cleaning the bridge in cycles. They would greet Li Luo "warmly" after seeing him.

But the whole bridge was empty, and there was no one in sight.

Except for machines, they are machines. It is obviously a very modern bridge, but no one is passing it.

I finally saw some transport trucks and other vehicles, but they were all self-driving and no one was around.

The length of the bridge was not long. It was not until he reached the end that Moling realized that the lake he had just passed was just a circular body of water similar to a river, surrounding an entire oasis.

Above the oasis, a straight avenue leads forward, surrounded by lush plants. It is completely different from the previous sand dunes, as if you have entered a dense forest.

Li Luo found the specific map of the oasis on the electronic screen.

Oasis City is just a small area in the oasis, located in the center of the oasis.

The entire oasis is a huge forest surrounded by a ring of water, extending in all directions.

The previous bridges were all built by humans in Oasis City for convenience, and the same goes for the avenue leading straight to the center. As long as you keep walking along this road, you can reach Oasis City.

How convenient.

Mo Ling felt like she was back in modern society again.

But where have everyone gone?

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was a girl with a low ponytail. There were many wooden sticks stuck behind her like a dramatic actor. These sticks were also wrapped with silk threads of different colors. The clothes she wore also looked like a random mix of threads of various colors. Very trendy.

She was standing on the side of the road with confusion on her face.

"What is she doing?"

The girl looked around, as if she was looking for something. When she saw Li Luo, her face was full of surprise, and she rushed to Li Luo in one stride, almost bumping into Li Luo.

"What's the matter?" Li Luo asked blankly.

Because she ran too fast, the girl's nameplate was thrown outside and was shining brightly.

"Level 2 hunter, Weaver Girl Li Xiangyi."

She grabbed it for a long time before putting her nameplate back inside her clothes.

"It's nothing important, I just wanted to ask, are you going to Oasis City?" She looked a little embarrassed.

"Yes." Li Luo replied.

Hearing this, the girl said excitedly: "Can I follow you? I'm lost."

"Lost?" Li Luo looked at the straight road behind her, confused.

"Yes." The girl named Li Xiangyi became even more embarrassed, scratching her head and smiling bitterly: "Because of the price of my relic, I will lose my sense of direction."

In order to dispel Li Luo's suspicion, she also took out her electronic screen, which contained the information about her relics:

[Relic: Rainbow Shuttle]

[Cost: The user permanently loses his or her sense of direction]

[Ability: Able to manufacture and control special threads of different colors and functions]

[Discovered: Level 1 of the Abyss]

[Discovered by: Li Xiangyi]

…

So it turned out that Li Luo also searched for it himself and got the same result.

"Then you follow me." Li Luo said helplessly.

"Thank you so much." Li Xiangyi bowed and kept thanking him, making Li Luo very embarrassed.

Along the way, Li Xiangyi kept talking to himself.

This girl talks a lot. From the dangers she encounters in the abyss to all kinds of wonderful creatures, it seems that she will never finish talking.

"Since I came to the second level of the abyss, I have never met a human being. You are the first one I met."

"Because I couldn't find the monitoring station, I had to keep walking around in the disorderly sand dunes. The second floor is really too dangerous..."

When Li Luo heard this, he asked curiously: "How did you find Oasis City?"

Li Xiangyi smiled helplessly: "If you wander around randomly, there are so many monitoring stations, so you will always find them. Isn't it just that I have found them now?"

Hearing Li Xiangyi's answer, Li Luo was stunned and asked, "Can't you even understand a map after losing your sense of direction?"

"certainly."

Li Xiangyi's face was full of frustration: "If I had known that the cost was so high, I would not have used this relic."

"I originally thought that the sense of direction means not being able to tell the road, but in fact the sense of direction includes more than just the sense of east, west, north, south, front, back, left, right, up and down, etc."

"You know what? I don't know the direction of gravity now. Sometimes I even wonder why I'm standing on the ground instead of flying to the sky."

"When I'm attacked, I can't tell the direction of the attacker. I can clearly sense the attack, but I don't know where it's coming from, so I can only defend in all directions."

"The same goes for maps. I can understand them, but they don't correspond to reality. I can't even tell what 'before' is..."

The more Li Xiangyi talked, the more frustrated he became, and he even began to doubt whether he was still qualified to be a hunter.
