Xia Siyu happened to be sitting side by side with him on a camel and leaned over to take a look: "Your phone isn't working."
She took out her own phone. It was the one Qin Baizhou had given her after Bo Yan had thrown her old one into a hotpot. Bo Yan had bought her a similar model in a different color. She had been using it for over a year, but since she didn't play games often, she hadn't replaced it.
She opened the built-in compass app on her phone, but the needle was wobbling, clearly malfunctioning too.
Xia Siyu immediately spat: "What a crappy phone, I'll replace you tomorrow."
Bo Yan's expression was serious: "It's the magnetic field. There must be a strong magnetic field around here, maybe a magnetic mountain. That's why the phones are affected."
No wonder; generally, desert highways are built close to water sources. Unlike in ancient times, water sources are now used not just for survival but for irrigating anti-desertification plants nearby.
