National Games: Zhongli at the beginning, the sense of security is full

The desert is full of yellow sand and the wind is blowing fiercely.

The dazzling sun emitted scorching light high in the sky, reflecting three lonely shadows on the sand.

It was Jiang Yuan, Paimon and Thunder Hammer, the three contestants who were teleported here, and their companions.

It is estimated that Paimon and Thunder Hammer were still regarded as Jiang Yuan's summons. They followed Jiang Yuan and were teleported here, but the other contestants were nowhere to be seen.

"This... bah bah bah!"

As soon as Paimon opened his mouth, the wind blew a mouthful of sand into his mouth, and sand almost got into his eyes. He quickly closed his eyes and mouth.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

She headed in the direction of Jiang Yuan, trying to communicate with Jiang Yuan using her toned voice and the tacit understanding between them.

Jiang Yuan looked at the ground. Because he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes effectively blocked the fine sand that was about to rush into his eyes.

He first took out sunglasses from his backpack and put them on, then took out a mask and covered his mouth and nose.

Then he took out sunglasses and masks suitable for Paimon and Thunder Hammer, and handed them to them.

Speaking of which, Thunder Hammer's eyes seem to be just that red light. Will his eyes be blinded by the sand?

With such an idea popping up in his mind, Jiang Yuan placed the item on Thunder Hammer's broad palm.

After watching the two people put on the sand prevention equipment, Jiang Yuan asked: "Paimon, what did you want to say just now?"

"I said, it's too windy here!" Paimon's face was mostly covered by a mask and sunglasses, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but his tone was obviously troubled, "We're not going to play games here, are we?"

"Obviously." Jiang Yuan looked around.

Well, apart from them, there is no living thing to be found, either animal or vegetable.

The previous desert environment on Aquamarine was probably like this, with no plants and no people living, because that place was no longer suitable for human habitation and only left more or less traces of human survival.

Nowadays, most of the deserts have been replaced by oasis-type rewards obtained by the contestants in the game, and the remaining ones have been planted with suitable plants——

Countries at the top of the rankings have received incentives to facilitate plant growth. Before the incentives lost their effectiveness, relevant departments had arranged for people to plant plants in the desert.

Those plants are carefully selected and have a chance of surviving when the bonus time is over.

A few days after returning to Aquamarine Star, Jiang Yuan saw pictures of the desert on his mobile phone.

It can no longer be described by the word desert, but a forest with strong trees.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but compare the pictures in his memory with those in front of him, confirming that the environment here was more dangerous than the desolate desert.

Because Aqua Blue Star didn't have this kind of strong wind that made his body feel a bit stinging.

Physical constitution naturally includes the strength of the skin.

Jiang Yuan looked like a young man, and his face looked very tender. In fact, the toughness of his skin was stronger than the thickness of his face at this time.

If he was "slapped in the face", his face might turn red sometimes.

But if they are really beaten by someone, the current contestants entering the game may not be able to win with physical strength alone.

No, why should I think about this?

Jiang Yuan scratched his head and felt that maybe because he was in a new environment, his thoughts were too easy to stray.

He continued to observe the current scene.

He didn't see any danger. The only danger was that the wind that made his skin sting was blowing from the front, blowing Jiang Yuan's hair flying in the air, almost making it look like a back.

Turning around, he saw Paimeng huddled behind him and let him block the wind.

Thunder Hammer held the hammer and stood firmly on the spot, as if nothing could shake his tall figure.

The area blown by the wind is really quite large.

"Will the intensity of this wind cause harm to you?" Jiang Yuan asked with concern.

"No." Thunder Hammer shook his head.

After a moment of pause, he added: "My current level is level [-]."

Jiang Yuan remembered that in the previous National Games game, the last time he saw the Thunder Hammer's level had not reached [-].

Thinking of the contestants who were all level [-], it was difficult for Jiang Yuan to imagine that this was done by Dark.

Dark who did this didn't do anything to the forces behind the National Games. Not only was he the strongest and no one wanted to be his enemy, but was this nothing to that force?

Thinking of the angry tone of the voice that appeared with the National Games System, Jiang Yuan guessed the former.

Just how powerful is Darhk, and where are the three gods that make him give in?

"Jiang Yuan, where should we go now?"

Jiang Yuan, a weakling at level [-], quickly put his guess behind him, turned his back to the direction of the wind, and replied to Paimon.

"Let's take a walk. Can you choose a direction?"

He tried to summon a map or other panels in the game, and summoned a lonely person.

This meant that all he could do was to confirm the content of the game by referring to the National Games system and the slight information revealed by another voice.

No need to think about maps or anything.

"Let me choose?" Pamon thought carefully, "Then let's go to a place with less wind."

"it is good."

So the group began to move forward, with their backs to the wind and the sun.

This orientation makes progress relatively easy.

The only problem was that Paimon had to grab Jiang Yuan's scarf again, because the wind was too fast and she was about to be blown forward with a whoosh if she relaxed and lost focus.

"Isn't it good to be blown over," Jiang Yuan said puzzled, "This way you can travel less."

"No, I want to move forward with you!"

Paimon was determined.

There was no risk of suffocation as the scarf was tied around the back of his neck, so Jiang Yuan simply let her go.

……

After advancing for an unknown amount of time, the sky remained the same, but the wind speed became stronger and stronger.

Jiang Yuan couldn't see the time here, and there was no barrage reminder of the time. He wanted to take out the high-tech mobile phone provided by the Genshin Impact system to judge, but was reminded that the time on the mobile phone was not the time here, and the two had different flow rates.

He could only estimate, guessing that he had been gone for at least an hour.

You can't eat sand if you turn your back to the wind, but the clothes on your back are covered with sand.

Jiang Yuan felt that the back of his head was a lot heavier. When he raised his hand and touched it, he found that a lot of fine sand had accumulated on his hair. If he pulled it, it would penetrate through the gaps in his clothes and come into close contact with his back, which forced him to stop. .

Twisting the braided hair on the back, there are also grains of sand poking into it, as if trying to make a home in it. The originally smooth hair feels a little stiff to the touch.

Paimon and Thunder Hammer next to him also looked like this.

At the beginning of this new game, their appearance was more embarrassing than at all times in the previous game.

"No, how long have we been moving forward?" As the wind became stronger and stronger, Paimon, who was completely driven forward by the wind, began to cry out that he was tired.
