4: Chapter 4, Little Brother!

"Sandstorm!! There really is a sandstorm!! What the hell is going on!!"

Tu Shu completely disregarded his identity as the Director of the Meteorology Department and roared hysterically.

At the same time, he quickly began notifying everyone on-site to rapidly monitor and aggregate data to calculate the specific details of the sandstorm.

Just as he was about to issue the next command,

Suddenly!

One thing leaped into his mind.

"The Feng Shui Master!!"

He held his breath and immediately found the staff member who had reported earlier to ask about the situation.

"Quick! Sync the content of what that Feng Shui Master said to me!!

I want to see his judgment!"

"Ah??"

The staff member was a bit stunned; there was no alarm in her office.

So she didn't quite know what was happening.

However, Tu Shu's extremely tense expression gradually made her realize something was wrong, and she immediately recounted the relevant information.

At the end, she still asked in confusion,

"But he's only 23. Didn't you say a Feng Shui Master of that age must be a fake?"

"..."

Tu Shu's silence was deafening. The staff member immediately realized she had said the wrong thing and covered her mouth as she hurried away.

As for Tu Shu, he quickly took the materials back to the Meteorology Department's data room to cross-reference all the data. Finally, he looked at the documents in his hand in shock.

"Where on earth did this god-like person come from!! Everything matches up!!"

...

Meanwhile, in the Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team's livestream room,

Bai Yao was enthusiastically explaining various precautions for the Taklamakan Desert.

"Currently, our expedition team has discovered many small kingdoms that once existed here thousands of years ago.

Their histories go back a long way. According to our team leader, there might have been over thirty small kingdoms in this desert,

But there are no records of the exact number..."

As Bai Yao was speaking, a gentle breeze suddenly blew by.

In the next second, the red alarm light on the drone livestream ball floating in mid-air lit up, and a mechanized voice spoke,

"Warning! Warning!! A sandstorm is about to arrive! All expedition teams, please find shelter as soon as possible.

Please take cover immediately!"

"According to the Meteorology Department's calculations, the scale of this sandstorm will be the largest in history!

It will reach the level of a Black Sandstorm!

All expedition teams, please find shelter and leave as soon as possible!!"

The mechanized prompts rang out repeatedly.

The members of the Archaeological Team on-site all turned pale.

"How can this be? How is there suddenly a Black Sandstorm?? There wasn't a single omen!"

"Didn't the Meteorology Department say today's weather would be the best in history? And then this happens??"

"It's over, it's all over! The most terrifying thing in the desert is this kind of sandstorm!!"

Everyone on-site spoke excitedly, but Bai Yao's delicate body trembled.

In her mind, she immediately recalled what that mysterious little brother had said yesterday.

"What he said was actually true!! There really is a sandstorm!"

At the same time, Fei Erfeng, the leader of the Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team who was directing everyone to find shelter, heard her words.

"Miss Bai, what are you saying?"

"Professor! Professor Fei!!"

Bai Yao shouted excitedly and quickly gave a brief account of what had happened yesterday.

Hearing this, Fei Erfeng also felt a sense of regret.

"The world is full of people with extraordinary skills. It seems we must never judge someone's words as wrong just because of their age!"

"Yes!"

Bai Yao nodded heavily. If she had believed him yesterday, they might not be facing such a crisis today!

But regret was clearly useless now.

The livestream's bullet chat exploded instantly.

[Holy crap? For real? That little scammer actually wasn't a scammer? I didn't expect him to be right!]

[My god!! Is there really such a young Feng Shui Master in the world? Why do I feel like it's so unbelievable?]

[Damn it! This is crazy!! We actually doubted him. That's terrible. If we had believed him at the time, maybe Bai Yao wouldn't be in this predicament now!]

Related topics surged onto the trending searches like crazy.

Meanwhile, in the hotel, Song Yiqing was boredly scrolling through the news.

After a quick glance, he closed it.

In fact, similar misjudgments and omissions weren't happening for the first time.

At most, the level of this sandstorm was just a bit beyond imagination.

The Black Sandstorm, like a curtain across the sky, advanced slowly from afar, gradually submerging the entire Taklamakan.

Even staying inside the hotel, Song Yiqing could hear the howling gale outside.

The sandstorm came and went quickly. When Song Yiqing opened the curtains, the whole town looked like it was covered by a blanket of sand.

According to the official notice from the Forbidden Zone, it would take about a day to clear the sand, and exploration could resume at the earliest on the second day.

Song Yiqing wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly.

Until the next morning, he woke up early. After checking the sky and confirming there were no issues today, he set off for the edge of the Forbidden Zone entrance with his pre-prepared equipment backpack.

As soon as he arrived, he ran into an acquaintance, Yan Zhanru.

"Tsk, kid, I didn't expect you not to go in yesterday."

"Hmm?"

Song Yiqing looked at him and then smiled.

"Didn't your Yan Family Gang also not go?"

"Hahahaha,"

Yan Zhanru laughed and pointed at a young man among them who wore a hood and had an Ancient Saber slung across his back.

"As luck would have it, this newcomer I just recruited said the climate was wrong, so we didn't go.

Fortunately, we spent another day drinking and just happened to avoid the fiercest Black Sandstorm!

Don't you think this is the heavens protecting my Yan Family Gang?"

"Heh,"

Song Yiqing's gaze lingered on that young man for a while longer.

That familiar posture immediately brought a name to mind—Little Brother Zhang Qilin!!

But whether it was really him couldn't be directly confirmed yet.

However, if it truly was Zhang Qilin, being able to team up with him would significantly increase the probability of survival!

Just as he was thinking, Yan Kuanru mentioned again,

"Young man, it's too dangerous to go deep into the Forbidden Zone alone. Why not join us?"

"Okay,"

Song Yiqing suddenly agreed exceptionally readily, which made Yan Kuanru feel a bit strange internally.

"Then... welcome,"

He said, though he felt something was odd but couldn't put his finger on it, so he finally let it go.

As the massive gate slowly opened, a loud prompt rang out,

"All explorers, please be extra careful! Please remember that life always comes first!"
