The light faded away, and the scorching wind swept up fine sand, covering Li Zheng's head and face.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
Caught off guard, Li Zheng ended up with a mouthful of sand, spitting it out repeatedly.
"Bzz, bzz, bzz!"
Little Sakura lay at the edge of the pocket, chirping and spitting out the sand.
Li Zheng took him out and placed him inside his chest pocket, soothing him, "Stay in the pocket for now, I'll let you out in the next room."
"Bzz."
Little Sakura obediently snuggled into the small pocket lining, not daring to move.
After settling Little Sakura, Li Zheng looked up at the room, holding the Desert Eagle he drew upon entering.
After two days of exploration, Li Zheng was no longer the novice he once was, knowing the importance of always having a weapon ready.
Even if retrieving an item from the capsule residence takes just a moment.
"Another non-metal room, is this... a desert?"
