After going up, Chen Xu immediately turned on the walkie-talkie and told Team Li and the others behind him to be careful of this huge ravine in front of him.

That's one of his roles as team leader, keeping abreast of the terrain ahead and giving directions.

The convoy of several people was not rigidly arranged vertically, but arranged in a triangle, and the distance between each car was about ten meters, and Chen Xu walked in the front to lead the way.

In addition to maximizing the scope of the search, increasing the chance of finding the information left by the missing person or even the person, it also maintains a safe distance.

In the event of a sudden accident in front of the vehicle, the distance of more than ten meters can leave enough time for the rear car to react, which is also one of the basic rules for the convoy to explore the uninhabited area.

And in the next journey, there are countless bad roads like the big ravine.

Chen Xu's Pajero is considered to have strong off-road performance, so it is very easy to get out of trouble, while the off-road vehicles of other team members are relatively ordinary, so once they are on it, they will waste a lot of time.

By noon, several hours had passed, and the crowd had walked less than a hundred kilometers.

At noon, the people drove the car into two rows side by side, forming a wall to block the wind, and everyone sat on the leeward side of the car, while eating, while discussing the search route for the afternoon.

It's a pity that Chen Xu and Captain Li don't have any better way.

Because search is not like survival, maybe the latter can adjust the survival route in time according to the wind direction, but the former can't, its route is fixed and dead, and it can't be changed.

Therefore, in the afternoon, a few people could only follow the route to the north.

Along the way, everyone really found a few traces of human activity.

"Although this is a camping place, and there is a stove made of stones, the burn marks on these stones can't even be blown off by a sandstorm, it is obviously a year, it is not left in the past few days, and it has nothing to do with Lu Yao. ”

After finding every trace, the police officers and Chen Xu would get out of the car to check and analyze it.

But unfortunately, these traces have nothing to do with Lu Yao.

"In three hours, it will be dark, but we haven't reached 300 kilometers today, let alone diverted!"

In Chen Xu's car, the search and rescue team member glanced at the time on his watch, shook his head and sighed.

When Chen Xu heard this, he glanced out the window, "Now, the wind outside has been much lighter, we rushed overnight, and we should be able to reach the missing point today." ”

"I'm afraid it's too dangerous to travel at night in Lop Nur, right?"

Yang Xin said with some concern.

"It's okay, as long as you don't encounter a sandstorm and turn on the headlights, you'll be fine!"

Chen Xu said this, but he was actually worried that Lu Yao would not be able to hold on for too long.

It has been four days since she set off, and it has been three days since her mobile phone officially ran out of signal.

If he doesn't hurry up and look for it now, he's afraid that something will really happen at that time!

And just as Chen Xu finished speaking, Yang Xin suddenly pointed out the window of the side car, stared, and said in a panic: "Chen Xu, look at the west, is that a sandstorm?"

it?

Chen Xu's mouth is too godly, right?

Wang Liang also glanced at the west side, only to see that not far away, the yellow sand in the sky was like the smoke of an atomic bomb explosion, rapidly attacking this side.

Chen Xu was obviously stunned when he saw the sandstorm.

At the same time, the warning information of the sandstorm also came from other cars, and at this time, Captain Li also spoke, "Chen Xu, the sandstorm is coming, we can only pause the search first, gather the vehicles together, and then set off after avoiding it." ”

"It's too late for the search and rescue, we don't know how long this sandstorm will last, in case we wait for two or three days, and all the daylilies will be cold. ”

Chen Xu glanced at the time and shook his head.

Captain Li's voice was a little anxious: "But if we don't stop, we can easily get scattered in the sandstorm, such a strong wind, such a dense sandstorm, has a very big impact on the line of sight, on the signal." ”

"I also have to ensure the safety of the team's lives!"

Chen Xu listened, his eyes rolled, and his mind kept thinking about how to ensure the safety of the convoy.

After more than ten seconds, he spoke again: "The direction we are walking is not exactly the same as the impact direction of the sandstorm, the impact is not too great, isn't there a tow rope in the car, we use the tow rope to connect all the cars together, so that everyone will not be separated." ”

Then, everyone turned on the headlights, fog lights, and tail lights to the brightest, and used the compass to follow the direction of the wind to identify the direction, and it was written on the map that 500 kilometers north of Lop Nur Town were plains, and there would be no huge terrain difference. ”

"As long as we drive slowly, there shouldn't be any danger, and even if there is an accident, I will be the first to be injured, and your players will not have any problems. ”

Captain Li thought about it and could only nod in agreement.

He himself knew that if it really dragged on for two or three days, the chances of finding the missing person were very small.

The tow rope is specially used to tow accident vehicles, and the material is made of yellow nylon fiber mixed with steel wire, which is very strong, and can generally bear the weight of two to three tons.

And even full-size hardcore off-road vehicles rarely weigh more than three tons, let alone these compact, mid-sized bikes.

On general off-road vehicles, there are special hooks, which can be easily connected.

It only took about two minutes for the group to connect all the vehicles with trailer ropes.

This method was associated with Chen Xu from mountaineering.

In the past, when I was pedaling Mount Everest, the members of the expedition team had to tie everyone up with climbing ropes.

In this way, everyone will not be separated, and once they encounter an ice hole or a snow pit, even if that person falls, others will pull him up as soon as possible, thus greatly avoiding accidents.

Then, Chen Xu pulled everyone and continued to march towards the north.

After about ten minutes, the sandstorm in the northwest finally hit the convoy.

When the yellow sand and smoke rushed over, Yang Xin only felt like he had returned to the haze weather in Kyoto, the whole line of sight was yellow and blurry, and the large grains of sand hit the glass, making several people afraid that the glass would be broken.

Fortunately, because the convoy was heading north, and the sandstorm was attacking from northwest to southeast, they did not enter the core area of the sandstorm, but only circled around the periphery, and their line of sight was not particularly blocked.

After Chen Xu turned on the headlights, he could barely make out the road conditions ahead.

Of course, his speed is also controlled to less than 30 kilometers per hour, so that he can deal with unexpected accidents that may occur at any time.

And just like that, less than an hour passed.

Thanks to this sandstorm, it was not a big deal, and everyone really escaped safe and sound.

And at this time, Yang Xin suddenly spoke: "Chen Xu, this is the vicinity, we tracked Lu Yao's mobile phone location, and the last place where the signal disappeared was here!"
