After walking for a whole day, everyone was very tired. They didn’t arrange for anyone to keep watch at night. They directly lay in their sleeping bags to rest and then lit a large bonfire to protect them from the cold and to prevent wild wolves from approaching.

Before going to bed, Tan Ron turned on her satellite surveillance system. Once an extreme weather disaster was detected, the surveillance system would alert the police. This monitoring was mainly for sandstorms. Sandstorms were too dangerous. If they did not deal with them in advance, they could easily lose their lives in the sandstorm.

Tan Rou was very sleepy. She and Zhuang Liu squeezed into the same sleeping bag. Sleeping together could keep them warm and safe. After all, the bonfire was only so big. If everyone wanted to be close to the bonfire, there was not enough space.

In the middle of the night, Tan Rou suddenly heard a series of rapid beeping sounds. She suddenly woke up from her sleep. She ignored the dew on her face and sat up to check her surveillance system.

“Everyone, get up! The sandstorm is coming!” Tan Rou shouted.

The rest of them heard the alarm system. They quickly packed up their sleeping bags, carried water and compressed biscuits on their backs, tied the ropes on their bodies, and listened to the guide’s instructions.

The guide quickly determined the direction of their escape based on the satellite cloud image on Tan Ron’s tablet. The sandstorm moved very fast. They had to find another safe place before the sandstorm arrived. It would be best if it was a cave or something.

Tan Rou was a little regretful. She should have developed a device that could scan the ground. That way, as long as she put the device on the drone, she could scan the underground situation.

“There should be a stone city two kilometers west. Let’s go there and hide.” said the guide.

It was not easy to tell the direction at night, so they set the drone to fly west. Then, they made the drone fly very low and turned on the red light on the drone. The group followed the red light and headed west.

When the guide saw the drone, he couldn’t help but sigh at the power of technology. If they were to judge, they would have to judge by the stars.

Tan Rou and the others arrived at stone city. This was not a city. Instead, many tall stones formed a stone beach. It looked like a city.

The range of the sandstorm was large. If they walked in the other three directions, they would soon be caught up by the sandstorm. Therefore, they could only walk west. The sandstorm blew from east to west. As long as they could find a tall stone in the stone city to protect themselves, they would be able to escape this sandstorm.

“Hurry up, we’re almost there!” the guide shouted.

Tan Rou and the others sped up and found a suitable hiding spot before the sandstorm. Then, they quietly waited for the sandstorm to arrive. Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu hid in a relatively low-lying place. They wrapped the rope around a protruding rock and hugged each other tightly.

“Are you scared?” Zhuang Liu asked as he hugged Tan Rou in his arms.

Tan Rou replied, “I’m not afraid. In fact, I feel very excited. Let’s just treat it as a trip.”

“We haven’t traveled together for a long time,” Zhuang Liu said.

Tan Rou planned to say, “Let’s go to Antarctica to see penguins this year. From now on, we’ll go overseas every six months and travel in the country every month. No matter how busy we are, we have to find time to travel, okay?”

Zhuang Liu kissed Tan Rou’s forehead and replied, “I’ll listen to you.”

The sandstorm finally arrived, but it did not completely enter stone city. When it approached stone city, due to the influence of the gravitational force, it deviated to the outer edge of stone city, so it did not cause too much of an impact on the interior.

Tan Rou and the others heaved a sigh of relief. This sandstorm was currently the largest sandstorm on the satellite cloud map. As long as they avoided this one, they would be fine.

The sky was about to brighten, and no one was in the mood to find another place to rest, so they slowly fell asleep in their hiding places.

“Rest in my arms for a while.” Zhuang Liu stretched out his arm and pulled Tan Rou over.

Tan Rou closed her eyes. When she was in the laboratory, she had always wanted such a warm embrace, but she had never met one. And now, she had finally found the embrace that belonged to her.
