Jia Sidao rolled his eyelids and said, "Go forward and go around the mountain in front."
Zhang Ling nodded, put in gear, and speeded up.
Big eyes and puzzled asked: "Before entering Hoh Xil, no one followed us. The Mao family must have followed us after we entered Hoh Xil. How did they find us in such a big place?"
Zhang Ling said: "It may be the GPS global satellite positioning system. The plateau air is thin and the atmosphere has good light permeability. If they can use spy satellites, they can even see the ants on the ground, let alone such a big car. But. , Now that the sky is completely dark, I am afraid it is not so easy to use that thing at night. I think this is one of the reasons why they only show up in the dark."
I hurriedly asked: "Then there are other reasons?"
Zhang Ling said: "After dark, there are chaotic rocks everywhere here. On the Gobi of the pit, no one dares to use the speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour due to the relationship between the visible distance and the braking distance. The speed advantage is completely gone. Even if they can detect our location, they are still a distance away from us."
This explanation made Dayan and I nodded.
Zhang Ling turned his head and asked Jia Si: "Master, how far is the mountain in front of us?"
Jia Sidao said: "It's about two to three hundred kilometers, but the road behind is very difficult to walk. It can't be reached in a few hours. What I am worried about now is if the car stalls or runs out of oil on the way. , Then we have to walk."
Zhang Ling said: "Don't worry, this car has been modified. It has two fuel tanks and spare fuel at the back. The fuel is not a problem." After finishing speaking, she sighed and said, "Originally, it could not be so dangerous at night. I drove somewhere, but I can’t help it now, I just hope I won’t hit a big rock or fall into a crack in the ground.”
Big eyes touched me quietly and said, "Anzi, how do I think your godfather seems to have been here?"
At this time, I also feel this way, because when Zhang Ling asked how far to reach the mountain in front, Jia Sidao gave the answer "two to three hundred" kilometers. Just imagine Zhang Ling explored mysterious events. She didn't even notice the expedition, how would Jia Sidao know if he hadn't been here before
In order to let Zhang Ling take a rest, I replaced Zhang Ling and drove, turning on the lights, I reduced the speed to 50 kilometers per hour, and the powerful headlights shining brightly on the ground, and continued on the road without rush or slowness. Hundreds hereafter
For more than kilometers, Zhang Ling and I took turns driving. Jia Sidao and Dayan sat behind and slept with their overcoats.
The night was getting deeper and the weather was getting colder and colder, so we put on cold-proof clothes.
In the silent night, only the slight sound of the motor was heard, and the wheels ran over the gravel, making small noises from time to time.
In the moonlight and starry sky, I looked at the road conditions in front of the car lights and suddenly wanted to smoke. What happened that day seemed like a nightmare, and the quietness of the empty space made me feel very depressed.
I lighted the cigarette and put down a gap in the window. The cold air blew in, causing people's teeth to tremble, so I squeezed the cigarette out again and closed the window.
Time passed by like silent water, and a roaring cold wind had sounded outside the car windows. Under the bleak star and moon, white snowy peaks could be vaguely seen on the distant mountains.
After checking the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the body was bumpy. Zhang Ling woke up from her sleep. She looked out the window first, and then said, "Let me drive. Now we are in the ice-stained area. Going forward, the lower the temperature, you can see that the section we were driving on was grassy at first, and then turned into Gobi. Now the frozen soil is frozen. This is a veritable ice field. If you don’t pay attention, the car body is easy to slip. I used to When I was a soldier, I had received training as a test driver for ice and snow."
I thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's your turn."
After speaking, I started to step on the brakes to slow down, but without turning the steering wheel, the car suddenly turned towards a half-meter-high rock and rushed straight over.
Zhang Ling grabbed the steering wheel to help turn the steering wheel, but there was no effect at all.
"Hurry up and roll over!"
As soon as Zhang Ling’s voice fell, one side of the off-road vehicle was raised, and then it glided for about ten meters with the two wheels on the left like a stunt car, and then the window on my side landed on the ground, and the car turned sideways. After sliding for another four or five meters, the whole body turned over, the tires were up to the sky, and it slid another ten meters from the roof, hitting another boulder hard, and turning around several times before stopping.
Big Eye was awakened at this time, and asked in a panic: "What's the matter? Are those people catching up again?"
While trying to open the door in the subverted car, I said, "My fault, the car overturned."
As soon as I opened the car door, I dripped a few drops on my hand, twisted it with my hand and sniffed it in front of my nostril. I immediately got goose bumps and said in horror: "The car is leaking oil! Get out!"
呲...
dash board
There was a spark from the wire, which made all of us scalp numb, and then we hurriedly climbed out of the car. When I got out of the car, Zhang Ling and the others had already got out!
call!
The body is on fire!
We immediately hid away more than ten meters away, the steaming flame, rolling in the dark, reflected our face red, the wind and the ice and the snow, headlessly rushing towards our face, and leaping straight into every pore of the body. .
I said guiltily: "It's all my fault."
Zhang Ling smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't matter to you. The fuel tank should have been cracked by gravel when it was hit by a rocket, but there was no oil leakage or only a little leakage.
Looking at the burning car, he said, "What should I do now? There are still our supplies in the car, and now we must find a way to get the things out."
Zhang Ling said: "No, the car will explode at any time."
Looking around the wilderness with big eyes, he said: "Without material, we will all die here."
Jia Sidao looked at the mountains in front of him and said: “There is a saying in Hoh Xil: No one’s legs go as fast as a car. Now we can walk with our feet, which is much faster than a car. Let’s take a break and have enough energy to get on the road. ."
After about half an hour, the flame of the car was much smaller. In this icy wasteland that dominates everything, it seems that the flame can't beat the cold. Before the fire was completely extinguished, I tightened my clothes and walked to the car.
Zhang Ling reminded me, saying: "Beware of car explosions!"
At this time, I can't take care of a lot, because I know in my heart that after such a short period of burning, there must be something left, such as food, tents, or gasoline. No matter what, a little bit must be found.
Under the gaze of the three of them, I pulled out the instant noodles burnt like charcoal from the car, the tent was baked into a piece of plastic, and only half of the notebook was burned. The only surprise was that I found out A good spare barrel of gasoline.
The four of us discussed it again and decided to stay where we were until dawn, because the night was really not suitable for driving. So they found a gully leeward, and the four set a bonfire with gasoline to drive away the cold.
After a night of suffering, we finally waited until dawn. Except for Jia Sidao, all three of us began to have runny noses.
We rummaged in the scrapped car again, found four machetes, a few bottles of mineral water and charred dry food. Because there was no schoolbag, everyone took some with them, and then carried half a barrel of gasoline, and started Keep going.
