[Extra 24. Hidden Sand Castle]
In the silent wilderness, beams of light pierced the darkness, and the low roar of the engine was accompanied by the terrifying and painful howls of the mutated monsters. This is absolutely the worst nightmare anyone has ever experienced.
Moreover, this nightmare lasted all night!
Under the cover of night, the cold sweat on Joyner’s forehead had long since dried, but her eyes still showed the same coldness and perseverance as before. She held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and stepped on the accelerator mechanically.
That night, Joyner led a group of refugees and ran for 70 to 80 kilometers.
But it should be safe now. The monsters are far behind and no scary sounds can be heard at all.
Joyner’s face was gloomy – she was completely speechless about such a terrible world and such an era.
The prisoners in the truck also had no sleep, and everyone was crowded together in panic. After escaping from death, huge emotions poured out of everyone’s chest uncontrollably, and some people couldn’t help but cover their faces and cry. The incredible fact is that they survived, but huge questions appeared in everyone’s mind at the same time.
Those unbearable memories kept repeating…shock, fear, doubt and joy all at the same time.
She was able to escape from the demons. Is this woman human or inhuman?
The east is gradually turning white, and the gray skyline spreads straight out on both sides of the hills, forming a faint thin line.
Joyner slowed down and drove carefully, and the roar of the engine turned into a calm and regular vibration.
She knew that this violent road was finally coming to an end, and the world had ushered in the peace that should have belonged to it.
This is a place on the edge of the wilderness. The sun is getting higher, yellow-green short plants appear in front of us, and sporadic vitality appears on the sand. In the distance is a row of undulating mountains with clear outlines, and in front of them are several small valleys. The warm and moist air blowing in the face swirls between the valleys, bringing an ecological environment different from the wilderness.
She hadn’t closed her eyes for several nights, and it was only now that Joyner took a breather from the exhaustion of running for her life.
The battle that had passed left her with lingering fears, but even now, she still couldn’t tell whether what she experienced was reality or a dream.
Her memories were supposed to be filled with smiling faces and cheers, but she couldn’t make out any specific faces. At this time, the nascent sunshine was too bright and the noise was too strong, roaring in her mind for a long time.
What a terrible world!
She kept cursing, looking around, and quickly parked the truck on a flat ground, and an unpleasant smell wafted up.
Joyner jumped out of the car and saw that the front of the car was stained with blood, and the dirt was covered with spikes. She could already tell its original appearance. She frowned and opened the machine cover, and a puff of white steam began to steam up. The fuel was almost exhausted.
She remembered the smell of smoke and fire, the smell of freedom.
After filling the tank, she began to carefully examine her injuries. Fortunately, the wounds left by the fight with the terrifying beast had completely healed. Even the skin corroded by saliva showed no traces and was still smooth and elastic.
She moved her limbs and felt sleepy but energetic, without any hindrance to her movements.
Some of the prisoners behind the car opened their sleepy eyes, and some were still sleeping soundly.
Joyner just looked at them and walked away indifferently. Anyway, she had nothing in common with these people, and communicating with them was even more of a luxury. Now she just wants to quickly find the legendary human settlement – Hidden Sand Castle, because only in this way can she survive.
She took out a sack of grain from the back of the carriage alone, and then took out a large iron bucket. She found a sheltered place and lit a fire. The smell of cooking food soon wafted into the air.
It was still the dark brown sticky substance that tasted like chewing wax. Joyner felt very hungry, so she filled a large bowl of food for herself and ate it all immediately. Then she carried the remaining food to the back of the car and threw it to the prisoners like pigs.
With a “hoo la” sound, the conscious prisoners quickly gathered around and started gobbling up the food.
Joyner noticed that several people were shivering and still huddled in the corner. She frowned, turned around and left without saying anything.

Just as she was walking back, her steps suddenly slowed down and then stopped.
She saw the little boy standing in front of her looking at her, his extremely clear eyes seemed to be shining with light, and he came specifically to see her.
“What? Do you want to go over and eat with them?” Joyner said coldly with a serious face.
In fact, she was still grateful to this child. After all, it was his wit that saved her. As for the fact that she actually saved everyone in the car, she didn’t think too much about it, because her essence was just to protect herself.
The little boy shook his head, his expression indescribably uncomfortable, which made people feel pity.
“Well…then what do you want to do? Want to drink water?” Joyner had to put away her cold face, put her hands on her hips, and slowed down her speech before asking again.
“Sister…”
“Sister needs medicinal herbs… She is dying and needs treatment…”
The little boy spoke this time, tilted his head, pointed innocently at the disheveled woman leaning on the iron fence, and whispered. .
“Sister…? Herb?”
Joyner looked in the direction of his finger and understood instantly.
The woman’s eyes were dull, her dry hands were weakly grasping the iron mesh, and the veins on her skin were bulging out, so eye-catching. Her body was as weak as a withered straw, as if the fire of life was about to burn out for her.
She didn’t even touch the boiled food that exuded an alluring smell. She just trembled all over, scratching her skinny arms with hunger, and made a painful sound like a beast in her mouth, as if she was praying for something. .
I’m afraid I thought wrong before – that woman is not the little boy’s mother. Although he called her sister, she was probably not his biological sister. She probably got to know her after being captured by the bandits.
How foolish!
“Sinful giant hemp grass!” Joyner cursed in a low voice.
The sound of “ho ho” came from the woman’s mouth. After Joyna heard it, she just curled her lips in disgust and didn’t take it seriously at all.
“No, no.”
Joyner shook her head indifferently to the little boy and said, “That is an addictive drug that can make people depressed, and it is by no means a medicinal herb. I don’t have those things here.” “
But you “You can save her, right?”
“Humph – as long as she eats, she will get better soon…” Joyner was not sure how to treat drug addiction, but considering her age, From the perspective of “profound” knowledge, addiction can be completely eliminated.
“But…she is really going to die. She can’t eat now…”
The little boy’s face was very sad, his expression unobstructed. Since he could come to beg Joyner to find a solution, it meant that he was no longer afraid of this “fierce” woman.
“No! You’re too young to understand this,” Joyner replied firmly, exhaled, and patiently explained.
“That’s what the bandits forced you to eat in order to control you. That stuff is poisonous, do you understand? Only by eliminating the drug addiction can she slowly get better and her spirit will recover.”
The little boy didn’t seem to believe her words and lowered his voice. The head remained silent.
