The rapid barking of a dog rang in her ears, and Sang Ning slowly opened her heavy eyelids.
After struggling to open my eyes, I saw a pair of dog paws, frantically clawing at the sand.
When she finally opened her eyes, the dog's paws were scratching and kicking up a lot of dust into her eyes.
Sang Ning was so stimulated by the dust that she burst into tears and was forced to close her eyes.
Relying only on physical sensation, Sang Ning could feel that the dog had been digging away at the yellow sand piled on her body, and the suffocation in her chest was slowly dissipating.
After a few minutes, the dog finally stopped digging in the sand.
The discomfort in Sang Ning's eyes also eased, and then she slowly opened her eyes again.
"Ah!!!!"
But after seeing the scene in front of her clearly, Sang Ning couldn't help but scream in horror.
The dog in front of me is not a dog, to be precise, it is a monster with a human face and a dog body.
The dog was facing her face to face with its eyes wide open. Seeing that San Ning was awake, he opened his eyes and looked at her curiously.
There is a name tag hanging around the dog's neck, dangling slightly in the air.
Sang Ning felt her scalp tingling. She suppressed the fear in her heart and squinted her eyes hard to read the handwriting on the name tag.
——Search and rescue dog Song Shiye.
Sang Ning's heart slowly dropped. It turned out to be a dog from the federal police.
She has lived in the Federation for twenty years, and this is the first time she has seen a humanoid dog.
"Woof woof ~ woof woof ~"
Song Shi also barked at Sang Ning a few more times, then bit the rope around her body and dragged her forward.
Her skin rubbed against the yellow sand through the thin cloth, and a strong burning sensation seemed to burn her.
Song Shi also ran very fast, which aggravated the burning sensation on his skin, but Sang Ning couldn't resist.
She was originally a waste with no mental strength, and she had already lost all strength after hiking in the desert for so long.
After gritting her teeth and barely taking a breath, Sang Ning raised her hand to her waist and found that her satchel was still there.
He reached into his bag, casually touched a tube of nutrient solution he picked up in the desert, picked it up, poured it into his stomach, and threw the bottle into the yellow sand.
The whole movement was done in one go, and even the search and rescue dog dragging her running didn't notice it.
It was indeed a high-end nutrient solution. Not long after drinking it, Sang Ning felt that her limbs had finally regained their strength.
But she still couldn't break away from the search and rescue dog named Song Shiye. She simply gritted her teeth and endured the pain, closed her eyes, and let Song Shiye drag her around in the desert.
After being dragged for more than ten minutes, Sang Ning was already numb from the pain.
Just when she didn't even have the strength to hum, Song Shi finally stopped.
The sky has become blue and clear, not as dark and cloudy as before. Sang Ning knows that she has finally escaped from the black desert.
Then, her body vacated, and she was moved to a stretcher and carried into the ambulance.
Didi Didi——
The ambulance made a sharp and piercing sound, and Sang Ning woke up immediately.
Ignoring the pain on my back, I sat up in a snap like a corpse.
Flustered and nervous, he said: "I'm not going to the hospital!"
In front of her was a middle-aged woman wearing a white coat, with a certificate pinned to her chest—Federal Doctor Chu Yun.
"You have been in the black desert for two hours, and the condition of your body is unknown. It is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination." Chu Yun had a gentle smile on her face.
Sang Ning was embarrassed to tell Chuyun that she had no money on her body and could not afford to see a doctor.
He muttered with his lips: "Thank you doctor, but I am in good condition. I can run, jump, sing and make trouble, so I won't waste federal medical resources."
There was clearly a layer of cold sweat on her forehead, but in order to prove to Chuyun that she was fine, Sang Ning stood up and jumped out of the ambulance.
She tried her best to create a "I'mfine, I'm fine" look, but the moment she landed, she still fell down on her face in a very embarrassing position.
"Be careful!" Chu Yun covered her eyes without daring to look.
Sang Ning rolled over and sat up, pretending to be relaxed and making an OK gesture: "Doctor, look, I'm fine, I can still control my landing posture."
Chuyun: "..."
You don’t have to work so hard.
Sang Ning put her hands on the ground for strength, stood up from the ground unsteadily, and bowed politely to Chuyun: "Then I'll leave first, the doctor has gone to pay a visit."
After bowing, he raised his head and saw that Chu Yun was gone. What was in front of him was a serious and murderous face.
Sang Ning's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously took a step back.
The man showed his ID and said with a cold expression: "Federal Police Department Shen Yi."
"Hello, Officer Shen." Sang Ning greeted her politely, but there was an imperceptible panic in her eyes.
"Woof woof~ woof woof~" The search and rescue dog named Song Shiye ran over again from nowhere, sticking out his tongue and circling around Shen Yi.
Shen Yi's eyebrows finally softened a bit, he raised his hand and touched its head, and said dotingly: "Well done, good dog."
Song Shi also received praise from his master, and his tail wagged even more cheerfully. He stuck out his tongue and licked Shen Yi's hand, and then he lay down at Shen Yi's feet obediently.
No matter how strange this scene looked, Sang Ning felt a chill all over her body. Although there was a smile on her face, her facial features were twisted together unconsciously.
"Did you just see a crashed spaceship in the desert?" Shen Yi's eyes fell back on Sang Ning, and his expression returned to its original coldness.
Sang Ning did not answer immediately, but was lost in thought for a moment.
Two hours ago, she was looking for expired nutrient solution in the garbage dump when suddenly there was a roar above her head.
As soon as I looked up, I saw the cargo spacecraft with the characters "Borun Group" written on it rolled disorderly in the air a few times, and then fell straight down like a bird with broken wings.
Without thinking, Sang Ning ran towards the place where the spacecraft fell.
She has been in the garbage dump for a day and hasn't even fished out half a tube of nutrient solution.
There must be a lot of nutrient solution in the crashed spaceship. Sang Ning is not greedy, thinking that picking up a few tubes will solve their family's food and clothing problem for the next month.
Who would have thought that this run would lead to the black desert, the harshest environment in the Federation. I picked up seven or eight tubes of nutrient solution and almost lost my life there.
"Madam, did you see a crashed spaceship in the desert just now?" Shen Yi spoke again, his voice even colder.
Sang Ning finally came back from her dissociated state, and faced Shen Yi's sharp and scrutinizing gaze, feeling extremely guilty.
But he pretended to be calm and composed on his face, not shying away from Shen Yi's gaze, saying word by word: "Go back to the police officer, I didn't see it."
If she hadn't drank the tube of nutrient solution just now, she might still be able to tell the truth.
Let me tell you now, if Borun traces the missing nutrient solution, they will not be able to pay for this tube of nutrient solution even if they sell their entire family.
"Really?" Shen Yi frowned slightly, obviously doubting.
But after looking at Sang Ning for a long time without finding any flaws on her face, Shen Yi simply gave up.
Before leading Song Shiye away, he did not forget to warn Sang Ning: "A civilian with no mental strength like you had better not underestimate your own capabilities and just run into the dangerous areas of the Federation."
