The Red Sand Plain was much larger than they had imagined, except for the jungle and the endless sand.

After walking under the scorching sun for six hours, they still could not see a single person except for some birds.

What was worse, because of their lack of military experience, their three water bottles had been emptied as they did not control the amount of water they drank.

Looking at the endless sand dunes, everyone became flustered.

Davis shook the empty water bottle and asked, “Powell, aren’t you a little too good at drinking water?”

Powell wiped his sweat and said angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? I only drank a little of this water. The rest has been drunk by you and the female captive!”

Regarding this matter, Rayen could testify. He had seen this fatty take Powell’s water bottle more than once, and half of his water bottle was also drunk by this fatty, he turned his face and scolded, “You damn fatty, there’s no water now. We must find a water source, or we’ll all be finished!”

This was not him scaring everyone, because according to the map in his hand, what they were going to cross next was a small desert. That damn place could not possibly have a water source.

Hearing the three of them, the woman stomped her feet and said, “Hmph! You guys are obviously new recruits! You don’t even know how to control your water! What do you guys think we should do now? I’m already thirsty! Other than sleeping, I’ve never not drunk water for more than three hours. This is too harmful to my skin!” The woman did not say anything along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, she began to act coquettishly as if she was commanding.

Her attitude was more or less like that of a spoiled princess.

Rayen turned to look at the beautiful woman. “Shut up! Be careful or I’ll drink your blood!” Of course, he was trying to scare her. He just wanted to make the woman behave herself.

However, the woman refused to let him go. She continued to criticize, “You people really have no gentlemanly manners! You actually threatened a weak woman! And three new recruits? What a shame!” She pouted. Her appearance was extremely cute.

Rayen also began to size up this woman again. He had to say that she was really too beautiful.

Moreover, she did not wear makeup at all. However, with this level of accomplishment, Rayen also dared to bet that no female star in his country could compare to her beauty. Especially that sexy figure coupled with the tight-fitting pink armor made people fantasize.

However, now was obviously not the time to observe the beauty. Right now, they had to solve the problem of the water source. Otherwise, no one would be able to find the team alive. However, Rayen did not want to return to that forest.

After thinking for a while, he walked to the woman and asked, “How did you find us before? from which direction?” The meaning of his question was clear. He wanted to know about the situation in the other areas.

The woman tied her hair to the side and looked at Rayen with disdain, she replied, “Humph, you don’t even know this?

“You guys started a bonfire to cook soup at night. I only approached you because I saw the fire and smelled the smell of tomatoes.” Then she sneered, “Hmph… You soldiers don’t even have this bit of military literacy. You exposed your position so easily. You guys are going to lose this battle for sure!”

Davis was now enraged. He pulled out the longsword from his waist and stepped forward and said fiercely, “I advise you to answer the question properly! Otherwise, I’ll cut you!”

Seeing the fat man’s fierce look, the woman took a step back in fear. Her beautiful eyes blinked in fear. After two seconds, she stammered, “I…I came alone from the mountain range in the east. There…is water…”

This answer made Rayen very satisfied. According to the map, the mountain range in the east was connected to a plain in the south. They could completely bypass it.

However, he was also worried that this was a trap set by the woman, so, he warned, “Madam, I hope you don’t take any chances. If we find out that your troops are stationed in the mountains in the east, I will be the first to shoot you to death. After all, you don’t have a helmet to protect your head now…”

The woman’s eyes revealed an uneasiness, but she still stubbornly said, “You…what nonsense are you talking about? As the noble Princess of the Atlanteans, I won’t lie! I just crossed the mountains alone. There’s nothing to eat in that damn place! I’m starving to death!”

Although she looked very serious, Rayen was still skeptical, but they did not have a better choice now.

Because they could not go back the way they came, right?

Thinking of his great contribution, he put the map away and said, “Let’s rest for a while and then go east! We’ll reach the mountain range after twenty kilometers! Then we’ll go south!” Rayen squatted down and fixed the shoelaces on his military boots again.

Davis and Powell did not even know how to read the map. In addition to their trust in Rayen, they naturally did not object.

The four of them came to a small sand dune and began to eat lunch.

It was said to be lunch, but in fact, it was still those tasteless beef jerky. There was no water at the moment, so everyone ate very uncomfortably.

At once, the woman got angry. “Seriously! The military rations of your army are too terrible! Can’t they even provide bread? Is your national strength so weak?”

Davis looked at her from the corner of his eyes and teased, “Yo! Who ate more than half of the bag this morning? Why didn’t you say anything at that time?”

As soon as he said that, the woman’s face turned red. “I…I’m too hungry! That’s not something I can control! But now there’s not even water! I….I won’t eat it! I’d rather starve to death than eat this hard and disgusting thing!”
