Even the most resolute faith couldn't endure the physical weakness and exhaustion; suffering from hunger and cold, she once again fainted in the desert night. She didn't know when she had passed out, only that there was a moon tonight. She had watched it move slowly across the sky and had eagerly anticipated its final descent and the first streaks of light to brighten the opposite sky. Her heart relaxed, and she passed out again...
Ning Zhiqian had already been walking in the desert for a day and a night, half a day by car, half a day and a night on a camel.
Following the directions on the map and his own calculations, he had passed the scene of the incident. He even found parts of the crashed vehicle, but there was no sign of Ruan Liuzheng nearby.
