Chapter 1046: Waiting for the Sandstorm
The Rubik's Cube is very embarrassed. The destruction of so many worlds is indeed caused by civil wars among robots, or the mechanical army deliberately avoids living planets as battlefields. Otherwise, this planet would have been destroyed by super weapons and turned into cosmic dust. Even if the war is just Even if it only touches the edge, it is not something ordinary creatures can bear.
"Do you know the shortcomings of desert bugs? You will always have to escape from them in the future."
"Insects are afraid of fresh water, which is why the oasis has been preserved. It's a pity that they are not afraid of blood, just fresh water."
"Oh, that's very bad. I think we don't have enough fresh water to create a big river for us to swim out. The nearest camp has just been destroyed by savages. I think it's better for you not to go. You can only wander in other directions." The Rubik's Cube is looking for it. There is no way to leave the oasis, staying here is a waste of time.
"We won't survive long if we only drink water..."
The boy was a little afraid of death. He only drank water and did not eat. He managed to survive in a short period of time, but it was still impossible to survive.
"You can also eat meat. For example, you can eat the meat of that dirty old man. It may be a little dirty. At least, the meat can strengthen the person and help him live a few more days." Rubik's Cube joked.
"Soldier, I can hear you talking bad about me behind my back."
The old man lay under the tree and said without turning his head. The Rubik's Cube shrugged, indicating that the old man did not dare to really fall asleep.
"We are really going to die here. It is better to die in the oasis than to die in the desert and be dried into specimens and have the bones chewed by wolf cubs. Maybe it won't be long before we all die. It doesn't matter. We are all going to die sooner or later anyway." The woman is trying hard to find reasons that sound like she is not afraid of death. She has to have some excuse, right?
Rubik's Cube thought for a while, and suddenly thought that under an environmental condition, it seemed that insects could not exert their combat effectiveness.
"By the way, do you know whether bugs are still full of vitality during sandstorms? I think we can start evacuating when the sandstorm comes. In the sandstorm, whether the traces, vibrations or smells are completely covered up, bugs will not have the guts to wander around in the sandstorm. Trying to escape is the same as seeking death."
The four people looked at each other and finally looked at the Rubik's Cube together.
"Sandstorm? Are you crazy! When a sandstorm comes, what we have to do is to hide in a safe place and wait for the sandstorm to end instead of rushing into the sandstorm. We will get lost or be buried by the sandstorm!" The boy shouted while looking at the Rubik's Cube.
"So, none of you have tried it. If you want to survive, this is the only way. Unless you plan to guard the pond here until you starve to death, you are not strengthened people, and you can't live as long as that old man."
"Young man, I just said I wasn't asleep!" The old man finally couldn't help turning over and complaining.
Rubik's Cube shrugged. He was going to commit suicide here anyway, so why not let others laugh at him.
The four of them thought for a while, and finally the oldest female representative nodded in agreement. If you stay here, you will die. Maybe there will be a way to survive if you rush into the sandstorm. A gamble is much better than not even daring to gamble. Even if you are not afraid of death, you will still be afraid of sandstorms. Only the old man under the tree thought that these five people were all crazy. They really thought that the sandstorm was a sandstorm when they were running around in the sandstorm.
"Well, prepare the scarf, and then use the scarf to wrap the engine equipment. Prepare the rope in advance to tie the two of you together and tie it to the motorcycle. Do not leave the motorcycle, otherwise you will not be able to survive even if you leave the insect area. What to do next ... Wait patiently for the sandstorm to come." Rubik's Cube continued to repair the car after that, and the four people were talking about various matters.
Sometimes life is so nonsense. I used to be scared to death when I saw a sandstorm and prayed every day not to come. Now, I have to pray that the sandstorm will come soon. Otherwise, even if it comes after half a month, the four of them may not be able to walk.
Rubik's Cube inspected and repaired the two motorcycles, wrapped the engine with a scarf, checked the headlights to make sure they could emit light as a sign in the sandstorm, and then checked his own suspended motorcycle.
The old man lay there and refused to leave. Rubik's Cube asked if he wanted to leave together. The old man said that he would rather die here drinking water and eating birds than being turned into a specimen and drying in the desert. Rubik's Cube didn't care if he lived or died. Maybe he didn't want to accept the destruction of the year. It doesn't matter if you are dead or helping the enemies who killed your loved ones in your homeland, at least there is still some green and fresh water here, which can be called wind and water.
Sandstorms don't come just when you want. On the second day, the third day... On the fifth day, the horizon is still scorching with the sun every day, and the horizon is distorted and blurry. The Rubik's Cube found food for the five humans, a non-toxic insect, a bit like the sole of a straw shoe, and the smell is still good. It was good, at least he could eat it. Eating some bugs after being trapped by bugs was considered as revenge. The old man ate with great enthusiasm. Rubik's Cube lamented that he could finally leave not many birds in the desert.
On the eighth day, in the middle of the morning, the Rubik's Cube felt the wind blowing...
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the yellow sand is whimpering like a ghost crying and a wolf is howling. Rubik's Cube uses a rope to connect himself to the suspended motorcycle. The four people also get on the vehicle and fix it. They put on thick scarves and goggles, and Rubik's Cube opens his helmet. Put down the glass cover, and the dust disappeared and the screen turned into a clear scanning screen. Various data, such as air pressure, temperature, etc., kept flashing on the glass cover.
"That's almost it! Let's go!"
Rubik's Cube shouted at the top of his lungs and waved to indicate departure. The two motorcycle drivers nodded and started their motorcycles to drive away. Rubik's Cube was at the end. Before leaving, he looked at the old man lying under the tree.
"Be careful of sandstorms! Remember to erect a monument for yourself before you die!" Rubik's Cube shouted.
"go to hell!"
The old man waved his hands and cursed, Rubik's Cube chuckled and started the hover motorcycle to catch up with the two motorcycles that had already set off. The figure of the old man in the sandstorm behind him became increasingly blurry...
The wind was very strong and the wind direction was chaotic. If it weren't for the Rubik's Cube Road, the two motorcycles might have been spinning in circles. Occasionally, there would be some messy mechanical army debris mixed in the wind and sand, hitting the motorcycles and making clanging sounds. The Rubik's Cube had strong defense, so the four people could only pray that a piece of steel plate would not fly over and cut their necks or smash the motorcycles. Fortunately, maybe the sandstorm was not big or it was not the center of the sandstorm. There were no steel plates flying except for small pieces of metal.
The Rubik's Cube calculated the center of the sandstorm based on data such as wind speed, wind direction, and air pressure, and then chose the best route to avoid stronger sandstorms based on the movement of the sandstorm. Under the guidance of dim lights, they barely drove safely to a distance. Some people may say that lights can't shine far in a sandstorm, but in this situation, the dazzling light is the only sign that looks obvious and easy to find and follow.
When passing by a sand dune, Mofang saw a huge sandworm curled up in the sand. In order to obtain the sandworm's movement data in the sandstorm, he took out his pistol and shot it without saying a word...
"Squeak!!"
After a scream, the sandworm jumped around and attacked like a blindfolded animal, waving tiredly to repel the enemy. After learning that the sandworm could not be searched in the sandstorm, Mofang was satisfied and continued to drive forward with two motorcycles...
