Chapter 390 - Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Uninhabited Area (2/2)

“These guys obviously have never been to the desert before. They’re packing so much stuff that they’re definitely going to sink when they cross that sand sea,” she scoffed.

Chen Yu didn’t say anything, but just smiled, resting his chin in his hand as he looked out the window at the scenery.

Two hundred miles to the west from here lay the legendary uninhabited area.

This place is a holy site in the hearts of many explorers, who spend their whole lives dreaming of crossing it alone with just a pack.

Though their aspirations were grand, reality was harsh; to date, very few had managed to successfully traverse it.

A major feature of the uninhabited area was its unpredictable terrain.

Quicksand was one of the most significant geographical obstacles.

Along the way, the vehicle carrying Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu seemed quite steady, and it wasn’t long before they entered the uninhabited zone.

But as soon as they arrived, they saw a mass of vehicles stuck in a very narrow area.

Many people were seated around the vehicles, watching their slowly sinking cars with nothing they could do.

As Chen Yu’s vehicle passed by, a few people tried to stop them, seemingly warning that there was quicksand ahead and it was impassable.

Jin Lingsu simply ignored them, pressing the gas pedal and charging ahead.

Their vehicle wasn’t heavily loaded, which made it particularly light and unaffected by the quicksand.

Chen Yu finally understood Jin Lingsu’s reasoning.

Who knows how much time passed before the two reached a hill and decided to stop there—it also seemed safe.

They parked their vehicle to the side, and then began to build a simple campsite on its foundation.

Just as the two had started a fire and were preparing to roast some meat, several other vehicles arrived, moving sporadically to the same location.

They had clearly come under attack on the way, with the windows of their cars covered in wolf claw prints.

“Oh my God, this no-man’s-land is too terrifying. We actually encountered a pack of wolves on the way. If our family hadn’t accessorized our car with bulletproof glass, I’m afraid we would have been done for,” they complained as they walked over.

“Bro, can we join you and build a campsite together?”

Chen Yu and his companion had already started a good fire, and many of the basic campsite conditions were in place.

These people wanted to mooch off of their efforts.

Chen Yu looked at them warily and scanned their brain information through the system, wanting to ensure they had no ill intentions before he was prepared to agree.

But Jin Lingsu didn’t care; she simply tossed a piece of charcoal with flames to one side.

“Use this to start your fire, but don’t get too close to us,” she said.

The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward, and the people didn’t say much more, just picking up the charcoal and moving to an open area a bit away.

Chen Yu took out a map and studied it carefully; according to their current pace, it would take at least one more day to reach Dongming Canyon.

The supplies they had in the car would only last them half a day.

That meant they couldn’t afford any accidents along the way.

As Chen Yu was studying the map, a man in his twenties came over, looking a bit embarrassed.

“Big brother, big sister, we’re running low on supplies. Could we possibly borrow some from you?” he asked.
