Chapter 1291: Escape
In fact, it wasn't that Zhang Zian and the others were particularly unlucky. They had just escaped the catastrophe and encountered a black storm. The black storm was originally caused by the violent disturbance of the air. The water vapor and cool air that had accumulated in the underground cavity for many years gushed out in large quantities, fighting with the devil. The hot air over the sea is mixed together, and the violent convection of cold and hot air is the fuse that forms the storm.
So the arrival of the black storm is not accidental, but inevitable.
The wild animals who originally escaped with the off-road vehicle, no matter how cute or ugly they are, after all, they have friendship through thick and thin. Zhang Zian has already developed a good impression of them, and plans to give them some after escaping from the sea of devils. Water and food, everyone get together and get together.
As a result, as soon as the harbinger of the black storm appeared, these wild animals immediately abandoned their off-road vehicles and fled in all directions, or dug holes in the sand to take refuge.
Zhang Zian recalled what Nabari said. When a storm comes, the usual way is to stop on the spot, wrap yourself tightly with a robe or a blanket, and not hide on the leeward side of the sand dunes, because there is a danger of being buried in the sand. It’s better to be close to the camels, because camels have an instinct to deal with storms, and they will shake their bodies from time to time to prevent the sand from accumulating on their bodies.
But this approach is not feasible in the face of a black storm that can change the landscape. If you stop still, even if you don’t stop on the leeward side of the sand dunes, you will still be buried, and even the sand dunes will be blown away as a whole.
The only way is to bite the bullet and drive forward, which is likely to get lost, but this is not too bad a choice for people with modern technology.
The black storm came faster than expected. Less than five minutes after the sky darkened, a black wall appeared in the northern sky, a wall formed by the storm.
got windy.
Zhang Zian raised the window glass, and the faces of the elves pressed against the glass, staring at the incoming storm in fear.
"Quack! I told you, it's going to rain! It should be cooler when it rains, right?"
Before the light completely dimmed, Richard saw occasional silver dragon-like lightning lingering in the storm.
"It's raining on your sister!" Zhang Zian said.
"It's not rain, how could there be lightning?" Richard was unconvinced.
"Lightning is a discharge phenomenon formed by electric charges. Clouds carrying a large amount of charge may discharge, and sand grains that rub violently may also discharge." Zhang Zian glanced through the rearview mirror, "If normal lightning is wet lightning, then this The kind of lightning formed by the friction of a sand storm is dry lightning, and it won't rain even a drop—but if you are sacrificed to the sky, maybe a few drops of rain will fall..."
"Gah? Has your conscience been fed to the devil in the desert?" cried Richard.
Talking nonsense with Richard, Zhang Zian was very nervous. If he was struck by lightning and hit the off-road vehicle, it would be a disaster for eight lifetimes.
The black storm came in the blink of an eye, and the wind with a lot of sand was crackling and knocking on the car windows, making people worry that the car windows might break at any time.
Zhang Zian was wrong. It was indeed raining. After all, a lot of water vapor rose into the air, but the raindrops did not reach the ground at all, and would be evaporated by the hot updraft.
There are few obstacles in the desert, and the wind speed of the strong wind can reach unimaginable levels. The sand particles blown by the strong wind can hit the human skin, which can cut the skin and see blood. If the wind rolls stones, it will be even worse. In the case of a person, a bone fracture can cause death, and a car window can directly shatter the glass of the car.
Visibility was extremely poor, the windshield wipers swayed in vain, and the speed of clearing the sand could not keep up with the speed of falling sand. Zhang Zian's eyes were almost pressed to the windshield, and the headlights were turned on, but he could only see the dust flying in the sky . Only when there is a silver light flashing in the sky, and the lightning across the sky illuminates the earth pale, can we see a little farther.
The off-road vehicle completely lost its direction. In order to prevent it from being buried in the yellow sand, it could only slow down and drive forward, but no one was sure whether it would go around in circles without knowing the direction.
The gust of wind is like a gust of wind,
The off-road vehicle suddenly lightened, as if someone had lifted the rear wheel, then trembled heavily, and fell back to the ground. Everyone was thrown backwards and forwards. The sound of sand hitting the roof was different than before, because the wind carried things like tents, moisture pads and blankets away from the roof.
The most terrifying thing is not these, but the sand and dust that is swept up into the air with the updraft encounters the downdraft and suddenly falls, a large amount of sand and dust is enough to bury a camel caravan in an instant, and it is no problem to bury an off-road vehicle .
"Careful! There's something ahead!" Phemas yelled.
Zhang Zian also saw it. A flash of lightning illuminated the pitch-black sky. Several rows of brick and stone houses suddenly appeared in front of them. Judging from the style of the houses, they should be ancient products, and they had all collapsed. The open space can accommodate off-road vehicles to hide.
He estimated that this was a post station built by the way when the pyramid was built in ancient times, because a lot of building materials and tools needed to be transported from the city, and it might also be a place for slaves and workers to rest. Building the pyramid required a lot of manpower.
No matter what it used to be here, it was originally buried by the desert, but it was blown out by the strong wind.
There are also some wild animals taking refuge among the ruins, even if the off-road vehicles approach them, they will not leave.
Driving like this is not an option, maybe the car will be hit by a rock like a cannonball at any time, so we have to stop here temporarily at the risk of being buried.
He stopped the car, turned off the engine, then pulled his clothes up over his nose and mouth, and put his hat on.
There was a strong wind blowing outside and a light wind blowing in the car. Countless fine sand and dust came in from the gaps in the vehicle. His mouth was full of sand, and even his nostrils were black.
I can't do anything now, the storm covers all voices, I can only eat something to fill my stomach, and wait quietly for the storm to pass.
I don't know how long it took, but the wind gradually weakened.
After a day and night of high tension, Zhang Zian and the elves fell asleep unconsciously.
"Quack! Wake up! The wind has stopped! The sun is out!"
Richard's noise woke everyone up.
The windows on all sides were covered with sand, and only the reading lights were on in the car, but a ray of warm and soft sunlight penetrated through the gap in one of the windows.
Zhang Zian had a splitting headache, his mouth was so dry, and the elves were not much better, all of them were ashamed and disfigured beyond recognition.
He tried to open the car door, but the door was only opened a little and it didn't move. It seemed to be blocked by the sand outside, and so did the other doors. In the end, he could only carefully roll down a car window, and climbed out of the car window like Professor Wei Kang did.
As the sun set, the storm did stop, but the off-road vehicle was half buried.
They seem to have reached the edge of the Devil's Sea.
