Not got much to work with here, but a rock on high ground sounds like a good idea…

Agree

Let’s not get buried. High ground. Maybe we will be blown to civilization?

Things I definitely will forget

These kinds of words/phrases have a hard time sticking in my brain…

なんとか - somehow; barely managed to (with great effort)

ところが -however, but then… (unfavorable or unexpected)

わずがに - barely, by a little, slightly (small amount that makes action fail)

Found interesting

思いきり → cutting off thinking → without thinking → without hesitation → with all your might

I wasn’t sure how quickly these sand storms come up so I had been thinking dune. High ground sounds worse for wind speed. But getting buried is also not fun. Ok, I’ll go for the rock outcropping with you all :woman_running:

Doesn’t look like my vote matters..
But I’m concerned that we’ll get lost trying to find the big rock and be worse off than if we just stay put. As long as we aren’t in the wind I think it will be fine.

Exactly why I was wavering… I’ll switch my vote. It seems I’m a lot less resolute on this adventure (starts running in the other direction)

Welcome to Stage H of :desert::camel: 灼熱の砂漠を脱出せよ - Escape from the Scorching Desert

After yeeting our backpack to “safety” we manage to scramble our way out of the quicksand puddle. Now there’s sand in our socks and pockets :frowning: The wind is trying to steal our scarf, some shelter would be a good idea! We decide to head to the rock instead of the sand dune, hopefully it protects us from getting sand blown into our open eyeballs

Can I again pet that dawg?? So many cute animals who will probably beat me up. I think I will not mess with monkeys, they can be vile

Another creatures to run away from! Maybe we should be brave and take the monkeys on? On the other hand, I don’t like the sound of those 牙 (きば) fangs. :person_running: :monkey_face:

Thanks for pointing that out, lol. Not sure what happened. I added nothing new to the conversation anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m going to go for leaving the monkeys behind, they seem a bit over eager and we’re totally outnumbered. I can imagine a lot of terrible scenarios if we get involved with them, and not really any benefit, lol

:joy: yes, I would also like to find an animal to play with in this book. So far it’s a bit harsh out there

I look this up in every single book… maybe by the final book I’ll recognise it :innocent:

Welcome to Stage I of :desert::camel: 灼熱の砂漠を脱出せよ - Escape from the Scorching Desert

After heading to our rockin’ hiding place, we hear the distant howl of a creature! Peeping out we are completely baboonzled - by monkeys! There looks to be a lot of them and if things go south (or west or south west, whatever our watch skills say), we’re not sure we can take them all… We decide to avoid them!

I have played enough death stranding 2 to know that a flashflood might come fast and furious, so no way I’m walking in a dried up river when it’s rain in sight

Slope seems like a safer option than a riverbed in a rainstorm :ocean:
