Chapter 313 Showdown in the Sandstorm

On the horizon, a yellow sand wave is sweeping forward at an alarming speed.

Zhang Heng made a rough visual inspection. This sand wave is about seven or eight kilometers wide and at least two or three kilometers high. It is impossible to dodge it with legs, and NASA has the best maneuverability in the face of violent natural disasters. The helicopter couldn't take off at risk, and with the speed of the jeep, there was a high probability that it would be impossible to pick up the three of them before the sandstorm arrived, which is why the captain asked them to stand by on the spot.

But his wish was doomed to fail.

The three of them knew very well that this sandstorm was the horn of the final decisive battle.

The dust all over the sky will reduce everyone's vision to the minimum. Under such visibility, NASA observers will completely lose control of them, and no matter what they do, only they will know.

This also means that none of them need to hide their strength anymore.

Zhang Heng glanced at the fat man in the distance, who happened to be looking at him too, and their eyes met. At this moment, Jia Lai finally couldn't hide the strong killing intent in his eyes.

"Sorry, I will win this round of the game and live. If there is really only one winner in this game, then that person can only be me."

Jia Lai said coldly.

When his words fell, the yellow dragon was less than a few hundred meters away from the three of them.

Zhang Heng took off the innermost vest of the uniform at the fastest speed, tied it to his face, and covered his mouth and nose. The biggest danger brought by the sandstorm is suffocation and blindness. If there are no protective measures, The large amount of yellow sand carried by the strong wind will quickly block your airway in a short time, making it difficult to breathe.

As for the problem of blindness, there is no need to worry too much with the goggles. After Zhang Heng finished all this and took out the steak knife he had hidden on his body during dinner in Area 51 the night before, the sandstorm finally arrived.

Jia Lai guessed correctly, Zhang Heng never planned to advance directly by relying on the advantages of his grades from the very beginning.

Because there is still a week-long quarantine period, Zhang Heng does not want to test whether NASA has done enough to protect the mission team.

What's more, there is a high probability that Jialai and Bruno will become a support team and stay in the space center to work. There may not be no hands-on opportunities, so not only Jialai wants to use the final field survival training to successfully get the last customs clearance quota, but also Zhang Heng. I intend to use this opportunity to resolve all threats before the quarantine period.

However, it must be admitted that the arrival of this sandstorm was indeed beyond Zhang Heng's expectations. However, compared to the waterspout he created on the sea before, Zhang Heng was more inclined that Jia Lai was not the maker of this sandstorm, otherwise he would not It should be delayed until the end of the training, and strictly speaking, this is not the environment where the sandstorm can play its role the most.

Although the terrain they are on is relatively flat, there are still some large rock walls nearby, which can be used as shelters to block sand and dust and reduce wind speed, which is far inferior to the empty plain they passed an hour ago. Zhang Heng speculates that Jialai's He should have props that can accurately predict the weather. He foresaw the arrival of this sandstorm in advance. This is the reason why he gave up the opportunity of last night and put the time of the decisive battle now.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the props for creating sandstorms on him need a long time to prepare, so it has been delayed until the end of the training, but no matter what, since the sandstorm has come, it is time for Zhang Heng to do it up.

Zhang Heng turned his back to the storm while moving, while keeping his body as low as possible.

Bell once told him that the closer the sandstorm is to the upper layer, the finer the sand will be, and the greater the probability of suffocation. It is easy to be sucked into the nostrils or mouth, but also be careful of being hit by some hard debris mixed in the wind and sand.

After encountering a sandstorm, the best way is to find a sufficiently reliable bunker and hide behind until the storm passes, because the visibility in the sandstorm is very low, and you can only see about one meter in front of you, so it is easy to lose direction, but Zhang Heng couldn't be bothered by this question.

Long before the sandstorm arrived, Zhang Heng had already quickly recorded the nearby terrain, the location of Jialai and Bruno. When the wind was not so strong at first, he had already touched the place where Jialai was standing before. As expected, Jia Lai was no longer there.

Zhang Heng sorted out the directions in his mind. There is a stone as high as a person less than thirty steps away from him. It is an excellent place to escape the storm. Jia Lai is likely to move there first. Of course, This also means that there is the greatest chance of traps there.

In addition, about fifty paces away on the right hand side, there is half a wreckage of the hood of a car. If it is used well, it can help him block most of the wind and sand, and it can also be used to block attacks when necessary.

Zhang Heng hesitated for a while and decided to go to the place where the wreckage of the engine cover was buried first, mainly because he was worried that the time would be too long and the thing would be completely submerged under the sand.

Relying on his memory, Zhang Heng began to move to the right side. He silently counted the steps he took in his heart, but after fifty-five steps, he did not find the fragment of the engine cover. There are two possibilities for this situation, one is The hood has already been taken away by someone else, and there is another possibility that his moving direction has shifted.

The latter situation will be more troublesome, because Zhang Heng doesn't know where he is now, and how much he has deviated. If he can't determine his current location, then the azimuth map he wrote down in his mind before can't be used. You need to give up looking for Jialai first, and find a place to hide first.

Because getting lost in a sandstorm is no joke. Even with a vest covering your face, prolonged exposure to sand and dust will still cause suffocation. Fortunately, Zhang Heng tried to turn back a few steps in the southwest direction , finally saw the part of the hood exposed in the sand.

However, at the same time, a black figure also appeared behind him.

The yellow sand all over the sky and the howling wind not only reduced visibility, but also made hearing useless. In order to prevent sand from pouring into his ears, Zhang Heng had to wrap his ears, which further reduced his hearing. In fact, in such a harsh environment, it is almost impossible to hear footsteps behind you.

Zhang Heng half-kneeled on the sand with one leg, ready to dig out the fragment of the engine cover, while the black figure on the other side also raised a big rock in his hand, and was about to smash it on Zhang Heng's head.
