The three cars set off and drove into the canyon at a moderate speed.
Into the eyes is a vast wasteland that is connected to the sky. On both sides of the canyon, there are distant mountains. The mountains are covered with snow for many years. At this time, under the gloomy sky, it seemed unusually cold and rigid.
The snow and sand were still falling, and a layer of white was floating on the withered and yellow pastures. Not far from the driving route of the convoy, the jagged rocky beach lay there quietly with the thin river water, under the cold and gloomy sky. Dead silence.
"Be careful with the following two cars, try to follow my rut and don't deviate from the route," Mu Yiran's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "There may be a lot of rat holes under the ground, and it is easy to cause collapse when the wheels are pressed up. If you see my car stuck, brake in time."
Luo Ye and Shao Ling responded on the walkie-talkie and moved forward with even more concentration.
A gust of wind suddenly swept in from the wilderness in the distance, swept the dead grass, and kicked up a piece of flying sand and rocks. The shrill and sharp roar of the wind.
Everyone was a little frightened, sitting in the car without speaking, just staring at the desolate and gloomy distance outside the car window.
"What is that?!" Wu You suddenly pointed to the place where the wind, snow and sand intersected far away from the window. There were two huge black shadows. They were definitely not people, cars, or rocks, because they were moving!
"Don't be nervous," Yue Cen's gentle voice was very soothing, and he handed Wu You the telescope in his hand, "I think it should be a wild yak, as long as we don't get too close, they won't attack us. "
"Yak?" Wu You hurriedly looked out of the telescope, although the visibility was not high due to the wind and sand, he could still roughly see that the two shadows were indeed two wild yaks, "My God, why are they so big? "
"Some wild yaks can weigh up to half a ton, and the wild yaks that enter the attack state can even overturn a moving jeep." Yue Cen said, "It seems that there are no creatures in Death Valley, which can be regarded as a good phenomenon."
"But I always feel that those two wild yaks look weird..." Wu You stared into the distance from the telescope, "I wonder if it's because their body hair is too long, they look like they don't have feet on them. It's really the same, how can I put it... It feels like two black shadows..."
"With such a strong wind blowing, even a half-ton wild yak might be fluttering." Ke Xun said.
Wu You knew that he was comforting himself, so he didn't say more, holding up the binoculars and looking away. The cold and majestic mountains in the distance are slowly receding, but the vicinity is still desolate. The three cars continue to drive forward cautiously. Fortunately, it is an off-road vehicle. There are potholes and even collapses on the road. They all drove past without a hitch.
In the more than an hour after that, everyone saw some other wild animals one after another, such as antelope, wild ass, fox, and even wolves.
Fortunately, the number of wolves in this group was small, only five or six. After seeing the huge off-road vehicle, they just watched from a distance for a while, and did not line up.
Even though it is a dangerous animal, everyone feels very relieved, as if this dangerous place has animals, there will be life, not so dead, people can't see any hope, like a real hell.
However, as the depth of the canyon gradually deepened, and the time was getting later and later, no animals of any kind could be seen from far and near. It was violent, and more and more gravel was rolled up and smashed on the car.
"It seems that a blizzard is coming." Shao Ling's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"No wonder I'm getting colder and colder." Wu You rubbed his arms. Although the air conditioner in the car was fully on, there were still waves of chills that seemed to penetrate the thick car skin and hit the whole body.
"I'm a little... having trouble breathing..." Hua Jiqiu was a little old after all, and Qin Ci, who was in the same car, hurriedly handed him an oxygen cylinder.
"Should we find a place to escape the limelight first?" Li Xiaochun said.
"The surface here is similar to a plain, with almost no big ups and downs. I'm afraid we have nowhere to hide," Luo Meng said nervously.
"Let's find a place near the water to camp," Mu Yiran said, "Let's go here first today, it's not suitable to drive in a snowstorm."
The river beach in the valley sometimes disappears, and everyone can see the water source as far as the eye can see, so they continue to drive forward to find the water source, but the fierce wind roaring from the top of the snow-capped mountain is more and more violent. It became more and more ferocious, setting off an overwhelming amount of dead grass and sand, and the snow and sand that had fallen on the ground was lifted up into the sky again. Like a meat grinder, the visibility in front of him is only a few meters, and the whole world is shrouded in a huge screen of gloomy gray and pale.
"Oops! I can't see the car in front of me!" Luo Meng turned pale in shock, his face turned pale with fright, "What should I do? What should I do?"
"Don't panic, keep walking in a straight line." Zhu Haowen in the co-pilot said calmly, and then called the car in front of the walkie-talkie, "Yan Ran, can you hear me? Please reply if you hear it, please reply if you hear it. Shao Ling, can you listen. Are you there? Please reply if you hear, reply if you hear."
However, the walkie-talkie only had the noise of whoosh, and no human voice could be heard.
"Brother Wen'er, the navigation has failed!" Luo Meng looked at the display in panic, "Can you try the compass?"
When the other members of the car heard the words, they hurriedly took out their things, some took out the compass, some took out the GPS locator, and some took out the mobile phone. However, whether it was electronic equipment or mechanical equipment, all the navigation tools were useless.
"Old Qin, you continue to try to call the other two cars." Zhu Haowen handed the intercom to Qin Ci, while he took out his pistol, pulled the safety lock, and lowered half of the car windows. Entering the car, Zhu Haowen stretched out his arm with difficulty and fired a shot into the sky.
The sound of the gunfire was quickly engulfed by the howling of the wind. Zhu Haowen retracted his arms, closed the car window, and patted the snow and sand and grass on his hair. "All fasten your seat belts," he said. Come down and keep the lights on."
"Stop like this, will the car behind Xiao Shao and the others hit it?" Hua Jiqiu took a deep breath of oxygen and said.
"We all drive slowly, especially with this visibility, Shao Ling will be more careful," Zhu Haowen knew very well Shao Ling's cautious and suspicious character, "Even if you bump into it, it will not cause any injury, so don't take off your seat belts. I think the car in front of them will stop once they find us behind, and we'll wait here now and they'll come to us."
Everyone fastened their seat belts and continued to stay in the car.
Luo Meng pulled on the handbrake and rubbed his hands. It was very warm in the car, but his hands were already stiff and cold, and even sweating.
"Brother Wen'er, what's the reason for this... Could it be that the painting is behind the scenes?" Luo Meng asked Zhu Haowen with a pale face, "Could it be that we have accidentally entered the painting?"
"I don't know either, but your suspicions are very likely." Zhu Haowen stared at the apocalyptic scene outside the window. There is a glimmer of light.
"Radish, hold your gun." Zhu Haowen said solemnly, "Old Qin, you too."
The three people in the back seat were in a hurry.
Luo Meng lifted the gun tremblingly, and said with a trembling voice, "Brother Wen'er... What are you looking at? Is it a monster or... a ghost?"
"I don't know," Zhu Haowen clenched the gun in his hand. "Listen, don't shoot lightly, so as not to hurt yourself. If you're nervous, don't put your finger on the trigger."
"Knowing about Brother Wen'er... I think I'm playing real CS..." Luo Yao gave himself psychological construction, took a deep breath, and held the gun steadily.
A few minutes later, the shimmering light that had just disappeared came on again. This time, it did not flicker again, but continued to light up, and it became brighter and closer, until it slowly revealed that Knight fifteen. The sturdy and domineering body of the world comes.
"It's my brother and brother-in-law!" Luo Meng cheered, put down the gun in his hand, and only held it for a few minutes, but his arms were stiff, sore and tired.
Zhu Haowen, however, still held the gun, watching the car approaching vigilantly. The car stopped five meters away, the door on the passenger side opened, and a man jumped out. He was tall and had long legs. He was fully armed with a hat, mask, scarf, and hands. Holding a gun inside, he looks like a terrorist, but when he walks steadily towards this side, he can bring people an infinite sense of steadfastness and peace of mind.
The man walked to the side of the car and knocked on the car window on Luo Xue's side. Luo Xiao was about to open the window, but Zhu Haowen held him down: "Let him take off his mask."
Luo Yao reacted, and quickly said "oh oh" that he understood, then turned his head and gestured out the window.
The people outside the window looked at Luo Miao's gestures, and gave him a middle finger in a speechless manner. Then they took off their scarves and masks, revealing a face that said "I'm going to be blown to death by the wind, quickly open the window". .
Luo Yu opened the car window and was choked by the cold wind. He covered his mouth with a cough and choked: "Brother! That's great! We thought we lost you guys, scared me to death..." said I actually cried.
Ke Xun tapped him on the head and said loudly in the gust of wind outside the car: "You guys wait here first, we'll drive to the back to find Shao Ling and the others!"
Zhu Haowen also spoke out loudly: "Be careful not to be separated again!"
"Don't worry, we won't go far. If we still can't find them within a certain range, we'll come back, and we'll wait for them here!" Ke Xun motioned for Luo Yao to close the car window and turned back to the car opposite. The car started and drove slowly in the direction it came from.
Shao Ling really acted cautiously, the car stopped not far from Luo Yu and the others, the three cars reunited, and everyone crowded into Mu Yiran's car for a temporary meeting.
"All the navigation equipment is out of order." Shao Ling's face was blown by the cold wind that was as sharp as a knife, and a high plateau red was painted on both cheekbones, looking very grounded.
"If it's true as we said before, there is super-magnetic basalt underground in the Langele Canyon," Yue Cen handed him a thermos cup filled with hot ginger tea, "then interfered by the magnetic field, electronic instruments It's not surprising that tools like the compass fail."
"I don't think we can go any further," Qin Ci said. "The state of Curator Hua and Qingqing is not very good, and even if we find a suitable campsite, we may not be able to camp in such weather."
"Old Qin is right," Ke Xun said, "We can only make do with one night in the car tonight, everyone will change cars later, and the ladies will be in the car, which is convenient for rest, but there needs to be a male escort in the car. "Brother Qin, I'll bother you, and take care of Qingqing by the way."
"Okay." Qin Ci nodded.
"The rest of the people are in a car, get some food first, and then go to bed early. However, someone needs to be on duty at night. Let's look at the arrangement. Don't be alone for the whole night and change shifts." Ke Xun said.
Everyone responded, and Zhu Haowen said: "The problem now is that the navigation fails, and neither the walkie-talkie nor the mobile phone can contact each other. If this is the case tomorrow, our process may be even more difficult."
"It doesn't matter, I brought the tow rope," Ke Xun said. "If this is the case tomorrow, let's use the tow rope to connect the three cars together."
Zhu Haowen said nothing.
Wei Dong suddenly asked everyone: "Who of you fired the gun at that time? It's enough to shoot a bullet, and you also put a shuttle on it. Are you enjoying it?"
Luo Yu and Zhu Haowen glanced at each other in surprise.
"I only shot a bullet at the sky." Zhu Haowen said.
"Huh?" Wei Dong and Shao Ling also looked at each other in surprise, "What about everyone? Who else let go of the gun?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Shao Ling frowned slightly: "We heard a series of gunshots from behind, and the sounds came from all directions, and they lasted for about ten seconds."
This time, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran looked at each other: "We heard it before, so we realized that there might be a problem behind you, so we turned around and looked for it."
Everyone fell into a stiff silence for a while. After a long time, Li Xiaochun swallowed and said, "Guli... there are other people, or... 'things'?..."
The author has something to say:
Howen: I only fired one bullet.
Shao Ling: But we heard a series of gunshots in the back, from all directions.
Ke Xun: Fortunately, it was just a shot instead of urinating.
Everyone: (Imagine the scene for a moment)... Shut up.
