Episode 11 recap: The appearance of sand-encrusted individuals.
Ye Liu Xi and the others saw sand-encrusted individuals on their side. These sand-encrusted people are formed after death and no longer have consciousness. Chang Dong believed that they had entered another world, a parallel world. Someone mentioned that the nose of those creatures is very sensitive, and as long as they smell something, they will definitely come. Ye Liu Xi felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this place.
As they entered this side, Ye Liu Xi and the others discovered many strange things that they couldn't identify. Suddenly, a palm print made of mud appeared in front of their car, startling them. They arrived at an open space and noticed that the starry sky here was exceptionally beautiful, unlike what they could see outside the pass. Chang Dong believed they had entered another world, a parallel world.
Kong Yang was still concerned, unsure if the creature from earlier would catch up with them. Ye Liu Xi and the others didn't know either. Chang Dong suggested that they should focus on finding water and a way forward when the time comes. Fei Tang, who had now arrived at this place and couldn't leave for a while, approached Ye Liu Xi, expressing a desire to become stronger and wondering if there was still time for that. Ye Liu Xi explained that if Fei Tang wanted to become stronger, it was simple. First, he needed to exude a strong aura and not show weakness in front of others. Second, regardless of the extent of their abilities, even if it involved grabbing, pinching, or kicking, they must leave a mark on their opponent. Fei Tang found the advice reasonable and started training with Ye Liu Xi.
Chang Dong and the others made a few torches to find their way inside. Kong Yang didn't understand why they needed torches when they had flashlights, but Chang Dong explained that some things fear fire but not light. On their side, Ye Liu Xi and the others came across a house with smoke coming from a pot, indicating that someone lived there. Several people emerged from the house, and Ye Liu Xi and the others quickly approached and caught them. However, Fei Tang failed to catch a single woman, feeling frustrated and determined not to let Chang Dong and the others know.
Ye Liu Xi wanted to ask them about the situation there, but A He and the others refused to tell Ye Liu Xi. A He and the others left first, and Chang Dong did not stop them. Kong Yang asked Chang Dong why he didn't keep them, and Chang Dong explained that they were hiding there, indicating that there were sand-converted people in this area too, and it wouldn't be long before those people returned. Sure enough, A He and the others returned shortly after.
These people were all insiders from the inner region. There was an old man named Lao Qian, a young boy named Shu Tiao, and a young girl named A He. A He and the others took Ye Liu Xi to the cellar where there were bedding. A He mentioned that there were supposed to be other people, but several uncles had gone to the market and hadn't returned for several days.
A He explained that the sand-converted people were formed after death and were caused by the fallen golden ants. They no longer had consciousness. Lao Qian mentioned that those things had a keen sense of smell, and as long as they caught a scent, they would definitely come over. Ye Liu Xi thought that they should do something about the handprint on their car, and Chang Dong said he would take care of it. Chang Dong asked A He if the sand-converted people could be saved, but A He said that they were already dead and couldn't be saved.
Chang Dong came out and sat there, and Ye Liu Xi approached and sat with him. Ye Liu Xi expressed that he was definitely an insider and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this place. Chang Dong mentioned that the sand-converted person they encountered before, Dui Yuan, was a member of the Camellia group. Ye Liu Xi suddenly understood, which means that Kong Yang might have also turned into such a sand-converted person.
Ye Liu Xi asked Chang Dong how he would handle it if they encountered Kong Yang. If Ye Liu Xi encountered Kong Yang outside, should he bring Kong Yang in front of Chang Dong or deal with it himself. Ye Liu Xi said that if he had a boyfriend, he definitely wouldn't want him to see him in a sand-converted state. Chang Dong said he understood.
Ye Liu Xi sprayed some perfume on Chang Dong, and Chang Dong remembered how Kong Yang had sprayed perfume for him to smell before. Ye Liu Xi and the others rested in the cellar, while on the other side of the yardang, some fallen golden ants emerged, each transforming into a human form.
