Night swiftly descended, the heavens cloaked in a dark fabric, upon which pearls and diamonds were sewn in abundance, shimmering faintly.
The desert roads were not as safe as regular highways, making nighttime travel inadvisable.
Thus, Daniel pulled over, intending to camp right there.
In such a forsaken place, he assumed it was unlikely anyone else would pass by.
Without seeking a more optimal campsite, he flattened the rear seats, transforming them into a reasonably comfortable makeshift bed with a simple gesture.
Settling in, he pulled out his phone, preparing to indulge in videos from charming female influencers on TikTok.
Suddenly, lights from afar piqued his suspicion.
Who else would venture into the desert at this hour?
He sat up, peering through the window at the approaching convoy.
Three vehicles; the front and rear each held a lone passenger, while two occupied the central car.
