Chapter 1584 Sandstorm

Turn around and return the same way.

After getting off the G22 highway ramp, they changed their route and planned to bypass the G22 highway and head northwest.

On Nanhuan East Road, Zheng Shiwu was driving his car at high speed on the road.

Half an hour later, the originally smooth road was blocked by walls built on both sides, leaving only a road less than five meters wide in the middle.

In addition, railings and barricades were set up in the middle of the road. The wall was about five or six meters high, with armed guards standing on it.

"Damn it, they blocked this road again. I'll find another way." Black Hand couldn't help but curse after seeing this.

Zheng Shiwu turned around skillfully. He didn't want to have a conflict with that group of people. There was no need.

If you can get around them, try to get around them.

With their capabilities, it would be easy to take down the outpost set up in front, but their people would definitely be killed.

Once things get out of hand, it will be troublesome to be chased by this group of people, which will affect their plans.

Because they retreated in time, they drove away quickly before the guards on the wall could react.

Blackhand flipped through the map and said, "Damn it, the two nearest roads are blocked by them. I suspect the road to the north may also be blocked by them."

"Then let's take the small road." Zheng Shiwu replied.

Black Hand said irritably, "I think we should just kill them instead of wasting time here."

"No."

Zheng Shiwu flatly refused, "Don't cause any trouble. Hurry up and find a small path. We have to leave Lan City today and we must find a safe shelter before dark."

"I know." Black Hand said helplessly.

I couldn't beat him, so I had to listen to him.

Who told me to fight with him when we set out? We agreed that whoever wins will have his say.

If you lose, you must accept the defeat.

South Ring East Road is the ring road in the southern part of Lanzhou City. In the end, they chose to go through the city center.

However, when they were crossing the city center, they found halfway through that the road ahead was piled with scrapped vehicles, which were stacked seven or eight meters high, blocking their way.

"Grass!"

Seeing the seven or eight meter high mountain of cars piled up in front of him, Heishou couldn't bear it any longer and cursed.

Zheng Shiwu turned the car around and took a different street, but the same thing happened on another street.

In order to stop the zombies coming from the east, Ma Laoliu tried every possible way to block the road to the northwest.

"What should I do, Lao Zheng? I really don't want to take a detour. Those bastards are so disgusting!" Black Hand threw the map aside, obviously not wanting to find a new route anymore.

Zheng Shiwu's face also looked unhappy. "Take the dirt road in the suburbs."

After saying that, he drove the SUV out of the city.

They had been delayed for nearly three hours and the time was now 2:30 in the afternoon.

Soon they arrived in the suburbs, where the dirt roads were covered with gravel and dust.

They were sitting in a very bumpy car, and after driving for seven or eight kilometers, a barrier appeared in front of them. The structure of the barrier was very simple.

It is a wire mesh placed between two pillars.

After Zheng Shiwu drove in front of the barbed wire, he stopped and inspected the barbed wire.

"No, what are you doing? You don't want to change the route again?" Black Hand said depressedly.

As soon as the words fell, boom, boom!

Zheng Shiwu backed the car up several dozen meters and accelerated.

Boom!

Click!

The barbed wire was directly knocked open by the vehicle.

Seeing this, Black Hand smiled and said, "That's right, it should have been done earlier."

"Look at the road and know which way to go ahead." Zheng Shiwu reminded.

"Ah."

An hour later, they came out of the dirt road and onto an asphalt road. This was already the northwest suburb of Lan City.

"Take G109 in front, then turn to G30, and then follow G30 all the way northwest." After flipping through the map, Black Hand gave a faster route.

Once we got to the highway, the road became much easier to drive on.

However, they still did not relax, as this place still belonged to Ma Laoliu's territory, and there was a high possibility that they would run into their people.

Zheng Shiwu was driving the car while eating dry food.

Driving on the road is extremely boring. Before the end of the world, it is easy to fall asleep while driving for a long time, leading to car accidents.

But you don’t have to worry in the apocalypse, there are only a few cars on the road, so you can drive anywhere.

During the drive, the two of them had little communication.

As time passed, two hours later,
They turned from the G109 to the G30 highway.

A desert.

I don't know where the evil wind came from.
woohoo-

Yellow sand filled the sky, crackling against the car windows.

It hasn't rained here for several months, and the solar radiation is strong. The surface in the northwest is extremely dry and loose, and its resistance to wind erosion is very weak. When strong winds blow, sandstorms will be blown up.

There were many scrapped vehicles on this highway, and there were blood stains on the bodies of these vehicles. The blood stains were covered by dust and were not very clear.

There were also sporadic bullet holes, which looked like a fierce battle had taken place.

This made the two of them feel a little strange.

"Old Zheng, this bullet hole looks like it was made several years ago. Do you think it could be related to the Northwest forces?"

"I don't know. Never mind." Zheng Shiwu shook his head.

"This sandstorm came too suddenly. Close all the windows."

"Oh, okay." Black Hand quickly rolled up the car window.

In just a short while, a thin layer of sand and dust had already covered the interior of the car.

Zheng Shiwu turned on the wipers and tried to scrape the sand off the glass.

But the effect doesn't seem to be very good.

Ping-pong, ping-pong! Some broken sand and gravel hit the windshield, making crisp impact sounds.

The sandstorm came too suddenly. They were now in a place with no village in front and no shop behind, and there was no place to stop and hide.

Wuwuwu——

The wind and sand outside the car window were getting stronger and stronger, like the mournful cries of evil spirits.

The sky suddenly darkened.

The sandstorm raged in the sky like a yellow dragon, and the sky and the earth were dim.

On the highway, the car was bumping along like a lone boat in a sea of ​​sand.

The wind and sand hit the car windows violently, making a "pa pa" sound, as if countless ghost hands were scratching the car body mischievously.

rub!
As a last resort, Zheng Shiwu had to turn on the car lights.

It's just past four in the evening. It usually gets dark a few hours later in the northwest than in cities in the east.

In front of the car lights, there is only dust, dust, and dust, endlessly.

Inside the car, Zheng Shiwu gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the blurry road ahead.

Suddenly, a stronger gust of sandstorm blew, causing the car to shake violently. Zheng Shiwu gripped the steering wheel even tighter with both hands.

"No, we can't go any further. Let's find a place to stop here." Zheng Shiwu vaguely saw several scrapped vehicles parked on the roadside ahead through the windshield, so he drove the car over there.

There is a row of remaining protective forest on the right side, which should be able to play a role.

Heishou turned on the car lights, looked at the map and said, "We are still 30 kilometers away from Guxian, which will take an hour. Why don't we go to Guxian?"

"No, didn't you feel the car body shaking just now? It's too dangerous to drive on." Zheng Shiwu replied.

The wind and sand are getting stronger and stronger at this moment.

Even though the wipers were turning continuously, they still couldn't block the continuous influx of sand and dust.

The Tengger Desert is in the north, not far from here. So once a strong wind blows, the sand and dust from the desert will blow over and seriously affect the vision.

It would be even more troublesome if they drove off the highway because they couldn't see the road clearly.

Crunch!

Zheng Shiwu stopped the car and said to Heishou: "Wait in the car while I go hammer in the nails. I wonder if the sandstorm will get stronger and stronger."

"No, just wait."

The black hand grabbed Zheng Shiwu's arm.
"I have a serious discussion with you. First of all, we don't know when the sandstorm will pass. If we don't leave now, we will have to stay here tonight."

"Although there are fewer zombies in the northwest, there are definitely some. We are not safe enough in the car!"

"Secondly, if the sandstorm continues for a few days, we will be trapped here."

Zheng Shiwu thought about it, stopped, and turned off the wipers.
Pointing to the wind and sand outside, he said:
"You want to open it?"

The wind and sand hit the windshield violently. In just a few seconds, a layer of sand and dust covered the windshield, making it impossible to see what was ahead.

"With the wipers on, we can't see the road clearly, so how can we drive? What if we hit something or stray off the route?"

"I also want to go to Gu County, but there is no way now!"

Heishou looked at the wind and sand outside the windshield, frowning, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

If it is a heavy rain, it is easy to deal with, the rain will flow away, but the wind and sand are...
Blackhand silently crossed over the center armrest box and searched for nails and ropes at the back.

After searching for a while, he finally found four ground nails and the equipment for driving them.

"I'll help you."

The two men took protective measures in the car. Zheng Shiwu took off his baseball cap, put on a tactical helmet, and zipped up his clothes to the highest position.

Gloves and shoes were checked.

After the two of them were fully prepared, they nodded, opened the car door and got out.

However, after the car door was opened, the wind was too strong and the door could not be opened or closed.

What’s even more terrifying is that the two of them couldn’t even stand steadily outside the car.

The two of them could only hold on to the door handle to avoid being blown away by the wind.

Moreover, with the wind and sand blowing outside, it was difficult for them to exert any strength.

Fuck!

Heishou was so blown by the wind that he wanted to curse.

Zheng Shiwu got back into the car, holding the door with one hand and the car frame with the other.

Drive with all your strength and pull it in.

He was struggling against the terrible wind, and the car door was being pulled closer little by little.

Boom!
Finally closed.

"Come up, stop hammering the ground nails, there's no way to do it!"

Zheng Shiwu yelled at the black hand.

The black hand was still standing outside the car, pushing the car door and pushing it inside with all his strength.

The wind suddenly became stronger and his feet slipped, so he quickly grabbed the car door handle.

It was almost blown away by the wind.

If this is blown away by the wind, I won’t be able to crawl back.

Because of the strong wind and sand, they couldn't hear each other clearly.

With no other options, Zheng Shiwu had to move to the passenger seat and gestured back to the black hand.

Heishou saw his gesture, understood what was going on, turned around, and moved slowly into the car.

"How did you close the car door?" asked Black Hand.

Because the car door was open and both people were wearing helmets, they couldn't hear each other talking.

Blackhand then took off his helmet.

He opened his mouth and shouted, "How did you close it?"

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, sand blew into his mouth.

bah bah bah!
His eyes were blinded by the wind and sand.

Zheng Shiwu pulled him and pushed him to the driver's seat, then sat in the passenger seat and used the same method as before to pull him back with force.

Kaka!

The sand got stuck in the gap between the car doors, making it even harder to close than the previous door.

Even most of his body was outside, and he was almost blown away by the wind and sand. Fortunately, he held on to the handrail tightly.

Heishou squinted his eyes and saw him going to close the door, so he quickly hugged his waist to prevent Zheng Shiwu from being blown away by the wind and sand.

Hey! !

Zheng Shiwu's veins were exposed as he drove with the greatest strength of his life.

The car door was closed abruptly.

As the car door closed, the interior of the car suddenly became much quieter.

Although there was still a lot of wind and sand outside the car, it was relatively quiet in the enclosed space.

Heishou rubbed his eyes, and tears couldn't stop flowing because there was sand in his eyes.

"Huh - everything would have been fine if we had gone out to hammer in the ground earlier. Why did you have to tell me so much? The wind and sand outside are getting stronger and stronger, and we missed the best time to hammer in the ground!" Zheng Shiwu took off his helmet and said speechlessly.

In just a few minutes, his entire face was covered in sweat.

Just now, he had consumed too much of his energy.

"Give me water, there's sand in my eyes and mouth." Heishou said while rubbing his eyes.

"You deserve it. Who told you to take off your helmet? Stop rubbing it. The more you rub it, the more uncomfortable it will be."

While complaining, Zheng Shiwu took out a bottle of water from the back seat.

"Please use it sparingly. We only have 10 liters of water."

After Heishou took the kettle, he quickly took a sip, rinsed his mouth and spit it out.

Then he scooped some water into his palm, put his eyes against his palm, and slowly removed the sand.

Ugh.
Looking at him, Zheng Shiwu sighed, and looking at the messy supplies in the car, he felt a headache.

Fortunately, the supplies in the car were packed in heavy packages and were not blown away.

He looked at the dark sand outside and fell into deep thought.

Their off-road vehicle weighs three tons, and with the various supplies and fuel on board, as well as him and Black Hand, the total weight can reach four tons.

4 tons, it should be relatively safe.

It would be too exaggerated if something weighing four tons could be blown up by the wind and sand!
"Fuck, I feel so uncomfortable!" Heishou rinsed his mouth again, but this time he didn't spit out the water, but swallowed it.

His eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just cried a lot.

Zheng Shiwu found a canvas bag, and then scraped off the sand blown in from the front of the car with his hands and put it into the bag.

"Pack up the things in the car. I don't know how long this sandstorm will last."

After Blackhand wiped his face clean, he let out a long sigh and said:

"Isn't it said that the sandstorms in the northwest are in spring and winter? Why is there such a big sandstorm in autumn?!"

Zheng Shiwu glanced at him and said, "Brother, this is the end of the world."

Before the end of the world, before the sandstorm hit, people living here would receive sandstorm warnings several days in advance, make timely preparations, and reduce travel on the day of the sandstorm.

But it is impossible to detect it now. Satellites are useless and there is no report from the Meteorological Bureau.

The sandstorm came suddenly and made people lose their temper.

The two had just set foot in the northwest when they experienced the sandstorm there, which really taught them a lesson.

After more than ten minutes, the two men roughly cleaned up the sand in the car.

But they didn't dare open the windows because sand would come in.

Placing the canvas bag under his feet, Zheng Shiwu moved the seat to the back and lay on it with his hands behind his head.

"Wait until this sandstorm passes."
