Chapter 167

I used to think that in addition to describing the ferocity of the sandstorm, the name "Black Storm" was exaggerated with some religious warnings to warn people to maintain awe of nature.However, when I saw the "Black Storm" coming, I realized that the name was not exaggerated, and it described the color of this ferocious sandstorm—black, as thick as ink!

The scorching sun was still in the sky one second, but it was as dark as the night in the next second, and the speed of darkness was much faster than the thunderstorm in summer.The yellow sand all over the sky completely isolated the sunlight in the blink of an eye, like a sudden tyrant ruling the whole world.They are only yellow when they are near the car. Once they leave a certain distance, they will immediately merge into the violent wind and sand, roaring and evolving into a part of the black barrier, like a mutation full of death.

The unprecedented disaster made me feel a little confused. I recalled the location of Yan Daojie and his car a few seconds ago, and quickly thought about the countermeasures.At this moment, I suddenly heard Ruan Yu's exclamation in my ears.

"How……"

The question I wanted to ask was just beginning, and I suddenly felt my whole body suddenly tilted to the left, followed by a violent tremor and increasing ups and downs. [

Oops, it's going to roll over!

The strong sense of crisis brought my brain back to my senses immediately. The moment I realized that the danger was about to happen, I hurriedly pulled off the seat belts of myself and Ruan Yu as quickly as possible, and then pushed her down without saying a word. He jumped up on the seat to fit her body, and protected her tightly under his body.

The feeling of dizziness came as promised in the next second, and Ruan Yu and I were like ping pong balls thrown in the lottery machine.All actions are useless at this moment, and all feelings are mixed together.We could only hug each other tightly, curl up our bodies with all our strength, and wait for the end of the tumbling.

Fortunately, this suffering did not last long.After a while, the body stopped rolling, and then stopped after a heavy slam.I gritted my teeth and stood up from the sideways carriage, and patted Ruan Yu in my arms vigorously.She opened her eyes and blinked blankly for a long time.Then he came back to his senses and shook his head to me, indicating that he was fine.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I couldn't help calling it a fluke in my heart.If we hadn't reached the edge of the Lop Nur salt crust in the morning, then this time we rolled down instead of falling into the sand, but directly on the hard salt crust, in that case.We now have to have a few extra fractures.

Although the experience just now was thrilling, it was a kind of luck in another direction.After some falls, my mind cleared up a lot, and I suddenly remembered that we were planning to drive down a sand dune just now, and it seemed that we were going to rush to a Yadan rock group not far away.Arslan and Yan Daojie's car was in front of us, and they drove down first. Our car encountered a blown tire when we were driving to the edge of the downhill.Then it was thrown off by the sudden violent wind and sand, and rolled all the way along the slope to the end.In this way, we actually got off the sand dunes one step earlier than Arslan and the others, and we were already on their way.When the tire was blown out just now, I was still worrying about how to meet them in such a brutal wind. I guess if I walked out of the car directly, I would be blown to this side by the violent wind and sand, lost my way, and finally got lost in the dark night. environment.Now this problem is obviously much easier.We'll just have to wait for them to come down.Therefore, disaster is sometimes also an opportunity.

Of course, we can't just do nothing and wait for Arslan and the others.Although the current situation is safer than before, it is only a little bit, and there is no guarantee that we can meet them as expected.First of all, we must find a way to clarify our position so that Arslan and the others can find us in such poor visibility, and secondly, we must find a way to ensure that we will not be swept away by the wind and sand when we get out of the car.Although the wind below the dunes feels a little weaker than above.But the degree of danger is not much less.The half-box truck we drove like a "pickup" is not small in weight, and it is conservatively estimated that it is more than two tons and five tons. In addition, the modification made by Arslan for the convenience of daily use, and our full storage .I estimate that the weight of the whole car should be close to four tons.However, we still felt the body shaking uncontrollably at this time. Although the magnitude was not large, it was enough to prove the strength of the wind and sand outside.

After thinking about it for a while, I asked Ruan Yu to collect as many things as we could in the back seat, especially the rope.And I climbed to the front seat and tried to turn on the lights, creating an obvious target for Arslan and the others.I drilled in the twisted car for a long time, and finally stretched my head and arms to the front of the console, turned the key, and found that the car was out of ignition as I guessed, but the indicator light on the dashboard was still on , it is estimated that the circuit is not damaged too seriously.I stretched my arms and fumbled for the light switch on the car, and when I found it, I hurriedly turned it on.Fortunately!A light suddenly lit up in front of the windshield. Although it was not as bright as usual, it was still very obvious in this night-like environment. As long as Arslan and the others could drive nearby, they should be able to see it.

Ruan Yu shouted something to me at this moment, but the wind outside was so loud that I couldn't hear it clearly.Seeing that I didn't respond, she reached out and patted my leg to signal me to move to the side, and then squeezed up with the rope.

"There seems to be light outside." Ruan Yu shouted in my ear.

I nodded and called out, "I've got the lights on." Then I pointed my chin forward at the windshield, motioning her to look ahead.

She turned her head and took a look, then shook her head, leaned back and shouted in my ear: "It's not over there, it's behind, I saw it from behind the car underneath."

As soon as I heard it, I immediately became happy, thinking that the light must have come from Arslan's car. Since Ruan Yu could see them, they must also be able to see the light on our side. Maybe now It's already approaching us.

Without further ado, I hurriedly asked for the rope in Ruan Yu's hand, first wrapped it around her waist a few times and made a strong knot, then quickly reversed the rope, and tied it around my waist with the other end .After doing this, I yelled to Ruan Yu a few times to tell her to stay in the car, while I went out to have a look, and then carefully opened the door handle above my head.

Slowly opened the car door a gap, a huge force poured into the car door suddenly, almost opened the car door directly.Fortunately, I had anticipated such a situation, and I had already reserved my strength to take precautions when I opened the door, so that the door would not be blown away by the strong wind.Slowly opening the car door, I stepped on the misplaced seat and climbed up.As soon as my head emerged, a fierce wind and sand directly hit my face, and I felt a little suffocated, as if I was suddenly punched in the nose.Fortunately, the goggles on my eyes protected my fragile eyes, allowing me to see around as usual in such a bad environment, otherwise, it would be useless even if I got out of the car.I can't help but secretly admire Arslan's rich experience. If he hadn't made us hang goggles and a mask covering our mouth and nose around our necks at all times, our situation at this moment would obviously be several times more miserable.

I was thinking of this "Cao Cao" in my heart, and my eyes had already caught his figure, and I couldn't help but sigh secretly, the ancients did not deceive me.Apparently Arslan had seen me, and hurriedly honked the car horn. I waved to him to indicate that I had spotted them.Their car wobbled towards us, and I saw a figure moving backwards in the car, presumably Yan Daojie was climbing towards the covered cargo box to meet us.Seeing this, I quickly retreated into the car and told Ruan Yu about the situation, then climbed out of the car door and squatted aside, and after I pulled Ruan Yu out, I jumped to the ground with her.

I don't know if it is because of the cover of the car, but I found that the wind and sand seem to be much smaller at the moment.Things that come from nature are so full of changes. Just now, the wind and sand were so crazy that they could almost overturn the car, but now they can make people walk staggeringly.However, judging from Arslan's seriousness just now, I don't think this kind of "black storm" that can make him decide to run away is only capable of this, so it's better to find a place to hide as soon as possible.

Yan Daojie's car had already parked next to us. In order to prevent our upright car from falling down and causing danger, they parked a little distance away, but it was only a few dozen steps away.However, this distance, which is completely inconspicuous at ordinary times, seems to be as far away as being extended several times at this moment.Ruan Yu and I tugged at each other, bending over like two gorillas, almost using our hands and feet to move forward inch by inch in the strong wind, and occasionally fell to the ground due to the sudden flow of sand under our feet, as if You can never cover this distance.

After finally getting to the side of the car, Yan Daojie, who was waiting anxiously, hastily opened the upper panel of the cargo box, and leaned out to welcome us into the car.I quickly regained my composure, picked up Ruan Yu and lifted her up, while Yan Daojie grabbed her arm and dragged her vigorously, pulling her into the carriage immediately. [

I breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to reach out and clasp the boxboard to climb up, unexpectedly, my feet suddenly softened, and then I suddenly fell into a state that I had never experienced, or even imagined——I, flew up.
