No one spoke, and no one thought that Deng Meimei was still alive.
Zhang Qi burst into tears, while Chu Yi punched the sand, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.
Song Ran calmed down a little. He stared at the water without moving, trying to see something.
The water surface continued to rise, finally stopping at a height of half a meter above the sand dunes.
The players breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around.
There are several sheds on the top of the dune, which are covered with rags and have a few wooden chairs inside.
It looks like a dilapidated tourist resort where tourists used to rest.
Cheng Miao didn't move, she frowned and looked into the water.
There was no more movement in the water, and Deng Meimei's body did not come out. It must have been eaten by fish.
But what Deng Meimei said before she died made Cheng Miao very concerned.
Something in the water touched her feet.
And it was touched by hand.
Even if Deng Meimei was really frightened at that time, it would be impossible for her not to be able to distinguish between fish and hands.
Could it be...
Are there water ghosts in the water?
Cheng Miao turned on his bUff to the maximum, but couldn't sense anything.
Not only now, even when Deng Meimei said it just now, she didn't feel the presence of ghosts.
Excluding the possibility that Deng Meimei was wrong, there is something else in the water. This thing has hands just like humans.
"Miaomiao?" Qin Musong came over and followed Cheng Miao's gaze, knowing her worries.
Once that thing has hands, it's possible to climb up.
"We take turns to watch the night, and we have to rest after all." Qin Musong comforted Cheng Miao, and Cheng Miao looked at the sweaty people.
In one day, three players died.
This speed is too fast.
"Shua"
Cheng Miao was thinking when suddenly everyone heard the sound of water.
Everyone took out their props and stood ready. Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged and he walked towards the direction where the sound came from with a smile.
The civilization staff in his hand emitted brilliant firelight, illuminating the man who had just climbed up covered in water.
It's Qi Siran.
No one said anything. The water had just flooded several stories high. Qi Siran could still climb out of the water.
And she wasn't hurt at all.
Qi Siran's eyes were red and he couldn't explain clearly.
"Chengyun and I were on the shore. He didn't want to leave, so I ran away first. If there is light here, I will follow you."
"As soon as we reached the bottom of the dune, the waves hit us."
"I have a prop, which is a bubble that allows me to breathe in water and resist damage for three minutes."
Qi Siran lowered his eyebrows, sad and tired.
"I only have one. If I use it this time, I won't have any anymore."
As he spoke, Qi Siran began to sob.
"All our props are on Chengyun, and now he is gone, and the props are gone... wuwuwu... what should I do?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although no one went to comfort her, it was always good to know that it was the player who climbed up and not something else.
Cheng Miao walked over and patted her shoulder, "My condolences, don't be discouraged, you can get out."
"Yeah." Qi Siran replied choked with sobs.
"Did you see anything under the water?" Since the tide came in just now, no one has been in the water. Since Qi Siran came out of the water, she should have seen something under the water.
Qi Siran sobbed and recalled, "I didn't see it. It was too dark in the water and there was no light. If it weren't for the light above you, I might not have been able to get out."
Cheng Miao nodded and said nothing. The water was indeed dark and turbid.
Qi Siran's words are credible.
She walked back, thinking about the feeling of patting Qi Siran's shoulder just now.
It's the warm feeling of human body temperature, so Qi Siran should be fine.
"In order to prevent something from climbing up, we take turns to keep watch. We currently have 16 players. Assuming that the night is 12 hours, four people work in groups, and each group lasts three hours. Everyone's watch time is not long, and safety can be guaranteed. "
Although it is night, the climate is still humid and it does not feel very cold.
Everyone agreed with Cheng Miao's arrangement, and they were not fools. Naturally, they could also think of the idea that the thing had hands and could climb up.
Cheng Miao and others were on the first shift, and Lin Zhu went to rest first.
At night everyone was asleep and it was very quiet except for the sound of the waves.
In order to save electricity, Xiaolin has turned off the light of the hat.
Jiang Chen also went to rest.
For a moment, Cheng Miao felt as if she was the only one in the world.
Fortunately, the shallow breathing and body heat of Qiu Dong, Qi Jiajia and Qin Musong beside them gave up her thoughts.
She looked up at the sky. It was dark with no moon.
Although he knew that the copy would not progress so fast, Cheng Miao still felt a little disappointed.
Time passed slowly, and when Cheng Miao finished the night and slept again, when he woke up, he saw the sky slowly getting brighter.
The night here lasts for exactly 12 hours, just as the last group of people finish their shift, it starts to light up.
Cheng Miao asked those on duty last night and no one saw the moon.
Daybreak came very quickly, and the surrounding scenery finally became visible.
The sea water rises quickly and recedes quickly.
After a while, the seawater that was originally about the same height as the sand dunes receded, revealing the beach and the plants that were originally covered.
It stands to reason that the scene after the tsunami was horrific.
But not here.
The sea water and the things on the ground were at peace with each other. The tables and chairs that had not been closed at the stall and the parasols placed on the shore were all standing there.
It seemed as if everything last night was just the players' imagination.
After confirming again and again that there was no problem, everyone slowly climbed down the sand dune.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the ground again.
"I must buy a pair of shoes today." Pu Fei said with a grimace.
The players all laughed. Except for Cheng Miao and his wife Jiang Shen Baili, no one else was willing to spend money on shoes.
On the beach.
Although the sand is not fine enough, there is no need to wear shoes.
But if they were told that they would run for their lives on this rocky beach.
Then they will definitely buy a pair of shoes.
Everyone's feet are now covered in scars. The girls Feng Shu, Qi Sisi and Zhang Qi have tender skin and are bleeding in some places.
Without saying a word, Feng Shu took out the disinfectant alcohol, medicated himself, and took some antibiotics.
Seeing everyone else looking at her in surprise, she pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly.
"I don't have much traveling currency. Instead of spending money on recovery items, I might as well buy some ordinary wound medicine. These are much cheaper."
Everyone nodded, it would be much more difficult to live alone.
It was already broad daylight, and local people appeared out of nowhere and set up stalls.
Just as everyone was talking and walking towards the stall, Wu Yang suddenly jumped up to his height.
"Hey! Where are my beads! My beads are gone!"
