When Captain Zhang of the police station saw the wood, his pupils instantly constricted. The wood was piled up like a small mountain on the ground. It was likely that it had been made from chopping down many large trees, immediately making this a crime of heinous nature.
He said angrily, “How dare they be so brazen in broad daylight? I’d like to see who had the nerve to do this! Are there any surveillance cameras nearby? Pull the surveillance footage out first.”
His subordinates immediately retrieved the surveillance.
Everything was normal in the surveillance cameras. There were no abnormalities until this morning. Nor were there any suspicious characters or vehicles.
It would take at least a couple of hours to transport so much wood. Even as it was nearing the reported time of the case, the ground was still empty. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
They were only some 10 odd minutes away from the time of the crime. It was impossible to transport it over in such a short period of time. If the scene was not exactly the same as what they saw, they would have thought that they had taken the wrong surveillance video.
A young policeman couldn’t help himself anymore and said, “What’s going on? Could it be that those people can teleport and transport the wood here out of thin air?”
The moment he finished speaking, the screen flashed. It was as if the signal was disrupted. Then, everyone’s jaw fell so hard that an egg could be stuffed inside.
The wood really appeared out of thin air!
Everyone fell silent.
“Shocking! A paranormal event occurred at a certain location in Country Hua. A large amount of wood appeared out of thin air!”
If this news were to get out, this would probably be the headlines tomorrow.
Despite Captain Zhang’s extensive experience in handling cases, when he saw the scene in front of him, he was still slightly dazed. Not to mention the others.
“Captain Zhang, what’s going on? Could the culprit be…”
“Could he have used some sort of trick to fool our eyes? But though it might work for small things, it’s obviously impossible with so much wood.”
Fortunately, Captain Zhang had been through a lot and quickly snapped out of his daze. He stopped the discussion in a stern voice.
“No one is allowed to spread what you saw just now! If I find out that you spread it, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
With that said, he quickly arranged for people to watch over the scene and prevent anyone from entering or coming into contact with the wood. Cordons were also set up around the area, and people were deployed to patrol the area.
“You must protect it well. Also, don’t let anything go wrong with the wood.”
Looking at Captain Zhang’s serious expression, everyone could sense the importance of this matter.
After arranging everything, Captain Zhang rushed to the Police Chief’s office with the surveillance video and a small piece of wood sample.
This incident quickly spread to the higher-ups.
“Report! The video has been analyzed and there are no signs of synthetic falsification.”
“Report! The wood has been chemically analyzed, and it comes from dragon blood trees. They can only be found in tropical regions or desert regions. Our country has not cultivated or introduced them yet!”
Countless higher-ups watched the video repeatedly and recalled the desert survival game that had suddenly appeared. The game and the dragon blood tree wood in front of them were different tunes rendered with the same skill.
It obviously shouldn’t have appeared in Country Hua, yet it appeared out of thin air. Someone shouted, “Quick, watch the replay of the live stream! When did Shen Fei get the wood!”
Everyone compared the time in the live stream to the time the dragon blood tree wood appeared in the surveillance footage. It was exactly the same!
Everyone was greatly shocked.
The game had initially stated when it began that the game could affect the world. At first, they did not understand and even thought that it untrue. Even though this game was mysterious and appeared out of nowhere, it was just a game. How could it affect reality?
Now, the sudden appearance of this pile of wood proved everything. There couldn’t be such a coincidence in the world, and the surveillance video was also the most convincing evidence.
“Shen Fei is currently ranked first, if he reaches the oasis first, does it mean that our Country Hua will also…”
In the real world, no matter which country it was, water was extremely scarce. If an oasis appeared and the water inside was introduced to the real world, it would undoubtedly be manna from heaven.
At the thought of this, the breathing of the Hua leader picked up in pace.
This was not only happening in Country Hua.
The top brass of the world focused their attention on the game of survival in the desert. Perhaps its appearance was the only hope left for the resource-scarce human society.
…
None of the players in the game knew the impact they had made in reality, nor did they know how much hope the higher-ups had for them.
Shen Fei was still surfing on the sand, but everyone in the broadcast room saw his speed becoming slower and slower.
“It must have slowed down because the wind died down, and the thrusting force stopped.”
Originally, the surrounding yellow sand was blown into the sky. The visibility was extremely low. But now, it gradually became clear. Everyone couldn’t help worrying about Shen Fei’s fate afterwards.
“By the time the wind completely stops, it will be extremely difficult to surf through the sand. I reckon that soon the flying man won’t be able to fly anymore.”
“The restriction of surfing on the sand is still too big. You need the perfect timing, place and person. If Shen Fei slows down, he might be overtaken by others. Whether he can be the first to reach the oasis is still unknown.”
“A opportunist definitely won’t be able to go far. I thought he was very impressive, but now it seems like he’s only so-so.”
“That’s right. It’s just surfing sand. Anyone can do it. Some Hua audience were really overpraising him.”
There was no lack of people expressing their schadenfreude in the live stream.
The Hua audience was somewhat unhappy to hear this.
“You’re talking like you’re so good yourself. If you’re so capable, do it yourself!”
Facing such a situation, Shen Fei seemed to be prepared. Confidently, he took out a rope made of cloth and tied it to the left and right sides of the wooden board.
The climate of the desert was unpredictable. No one could guarantee that there would always be wind. Since there was no wind, he would create it himself!
The little fairies standing on his shoulders flapped their wings at the same time and towed the skateboard. They looked petite, but they were very strong. Although the speed of the surfboard slowed down, it was still somewhat faster than walking.
Everyone was stunned.
What kind of maneuver was this?!
The people in the live stream were all shocked. Looking back at the initial choice at that time, everyone did not think highly of the fairies and thought that they were just purely ornamental. Everyone thought there was nothing good about the fairies aside from their beauty.
But along the way, it seemed that the fairies were really too useful. There seemed to be nothing you couldn’t do, only things you couldn’t think of.
Just as Shen Fei was rapidly advancing, the system notification sounded again.
