"Man… it hasn't even been 5 minutes, yet I'm already starting to feel worn out…" Ming Hao complained as we dragged our bodies forward in this endless sea of grey and death.
One of us had erected a protective sound barrier around us so that we could hear each other properly without having to scream, which was certainly useful.
"Stop complaining," Si Ye muttered, smacking Ming Hao on the back of his neck.
"O-Ow!"
"Hmph."
"You two… settle do-" Long Lu began, but suddenly stopped as he saw what was coming up ahead.
"Everyone, DODGE!"
"Wha-!"
Immediately, The girls and I leaped to the right, just as a large grey tumbleweed tore through our group at an insane speed.
Others, however, were not so lucky.
Five people — an entire team — ended up being crushed by it, too fast to even react. Their corpses immediately decayed into nothing but bones, then swallowed by the ash-grey land.
