South of Storm City, Withered Desert, coordinates (0346, -7178)
The scorching sun shone down with such might that even the most heat-resistant vegetation and creatures in the Withered Desert had involuntarily curled up, trying to keep their precious water supplies from being evaporated by the almost 120 degrees Fahrenheit!
Occasional light winds swept over the terrain, sending tiny sand particles flying into the air!
The desert was a wide swath of yellow-white, except for the side of a huge sand dune, where four big black spots and six small black spots were running.
A small team of players made up of two Warriors, two female Manipulators, a female Doctor, and a Sniper were sweating from head to toe, occasionally turning back to look as they fled up the sand dune!
However, the four large black silhouettes behind them were clearly faster than the Earth and Fire Manipulators and the Doctor, and so the gap between the two parties kept closing up!
