Chapter 12: The Black Sky
In view of the hopelessness of rushing to the new book list (they can drag it out too much, and I can't wait for a long time to exchange data), I decided to add more if there is a reward or recommendation vote. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
――――――――――――――
Eureka flew to Las Vegas by helicopter, and Fang Hong was still on the way forward.
"These two days have basically been wasted, and our goal now is to move in this direction, from the west side of the Red River across the river and into this highland forest. From the southwest bank of the river to the north, the temperature will drop from 23 degrees during the day to about 5 degrees, and I estimate that it will snow again in Yellowstone. ”
Due to the excessive amount of physical energy wasted, Fang Hong had to walk above the ground, walking on the red field.
It's a journey, like penance.
Except for the crows that hovered from time to time, there was nothing to keep company on the road.
"Brother is such a sturdy man, these crows are actually circling around me, do I look like carrion?"
"Brother Gun, your body can feed a lot of crows. ”
Fang Hong raised his middle finger: "If it weren't for the crow's habit of eating scavengers, my brother would shoot it down and stew it with an arrow." ”
"Brag, this isn't a rabbit flying in the sky. ”
Fang Hong was helpless: "California bans guns, and when I get to Utah, I have to get a license and buy a gun after the green card comes down." ”
"I like the M4, stable, large load, long range, low noise, strong lethality, I used to play with the M4 the most, AK is not so particular about marksmanship, it needs more power, I don't like the pistol very much. I really miss those days, if I hadn't changed computers and stopped playing CF, I would have been quite proficient now, and I still have three M4s in my warehouse. ”
The water friend gave a middle finger to the end.
Fang Hong took it step by step, feeling thirsty, he used the tube to drink the water in the water bag, and when he felt tired, he pretended not to be tired and went all the way.
You need to make up for the divergent journey as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the whole journey.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Hong glanced at the big river valley: "The speed of the water flow below is very fast, see that there is no place to see this, the water flow here has a big turn, the water flow directly washes the rock wall, there is no tidal flat below to walk, we have to go through this section all the time, in order to advance from below, it is estimated that there is no way to go down today." ”
When Fang Hong explained, the live broadcast camera also gave the big river valley below, and the whole shot was horizontal.
Looking at the picture in confusion, he was puzzled: "Hey, Brother Gun, look at the sky behind you, look at the direction of the horizon, it's so dark." ”
"Well, it's a mountain range. ”
"No way, it should be a rain cloud. ”
Fang Hong saw the discussion of the water friends, glanced back, and was stunned on the spot.
The direction behind you, the entire sky from left to right, is all a black band.
It looked like it was just weird, but it made Fang Hong's whole body tremble, and he immediately turned around and ran.
"Black Sky Storm!"
"Black Sky Storm?
"Over the past 100 years, the second highest number of natural disasters on Earth has been the dust storm wave in the western United States. Unlike the rest of the world, in the United States, there are mountains on the east and west coasts, and the plateau and plains in the central part of the country, and any catastrophic weather can sweep across the country in a short time. ”
"In the thirties of the last century, when the first super sandstorm fell, a local survivor described the scene at that time, the dust moved rapidly for a short time, obscuring the sky and the sun, no car's lights could illuminate the black vortex, the whole sky was black, and from then on, the sandstorm in the western United States was called a black sky storm. ”
"Brother Gun, why are you running away in such a hurry, it looks like it's still far away!"
Fang Hong jumped down a low ground crack and ran wildly in the direction of the depths of the ground fissure: "The limit of human strength on flat ground is about sixteen to twenty-two kilometers, because the surface of the earth is convex, so no matter how good a person's eyesight is, they can only see objects on the ground twenty kilometers away, and if they are farther, they can only see the skyline." I just saw the sandbags overflow the Angel's Window!"
If you stand on a mountain, in the world's most open equatorial Kilimanjaro, the limit of people's field of vision of ground objects can reach 340 kilometers, but here, on the endless Great Rift Valley plateau, the limit of people's field of vision is only 20 kilometers.
"If I had looked north two hours earlier, I would have seen the black line of the skyline, but I hadn't paid attention to look back, and now the helicopter that Eureka was on should have just landed in Las Vegas, and that direction should have been ravaged by a sandstorm, and if the plane departed half an hour late, he would have received the news of the sandstorm, and I would have chosen to flee by plane, but now, I had to flee for my life. ”
"Brother Gun, twenty kilometers is also far away, what are you excited about?"
Fang Hong ran quickly: "What are you kidding, there is a flat river here, after the sandstorm reaches this terrain, the speed is at least about 80 kilometers, if it is fast, it may even exceed the speed of 90 kilometers per hour, and after more than ten minutes, this place will be flooded with sand and dust!"
For more than ten minutes, Fang Hong was still looking for a way to move further down from the ground crack like a labyrinth tunnel.
"The more complex the terrain is, the safer it is at the lower elevation, but I still have to find a cave. The sandstorm comes at a speed of eighty kilometers, if it is exposed, it will be swept away directly, even in this kind of tunnel, the front and back are smooth, it will die ugly, and now I need a shelter!"
In other words, Fang Hong now needs a dead end, get into a dead end, and save his life!
"H hoo...... Whew...... Woo!" The sandstorm advanced, and after the speed was fast enough, the voice began to become sharp, and the real ghost cried wolf.
"Grass, I can meet anything, in the last seven years, there has been no sandstorm here!"
In the current situation, Fang Hong didn't dare to pass through the suspended place, because the sandstorm could come at any time, and if it was suspended in the air, he would be thrown to his death here, so Fang Hong kept rushing down on this ground crack.
Finally, a hole appeared, Fang Hong turned his head and entered, and then pulled his legs and ran out again: "It is only two meters deep, leaving a perfect terrain for the formation of the passing wind, don't think about coming out alive if you go in." ”
The wind does not necessarily go in a straight line, for example, sitting at home, if there is an open window on each of the opposite two walls near the left, the wind will not come in through one window, and then go out directly through the other.
Instead, it enters through one window, is squeezed by the indoor air, moves towards the right wall, and then is blocked by the wall, accumulates in front of the other window, and then is squeezed out of the window by the wind blowing in from behind.
Normally, if the wind speed is this way, the wind speed will be linearly superimposed in the wind terrain, and at the same time, the air pressure in the cave will increase sharply.
Another cave!
Fang Hong rushed in, and the flying machine followed.
The cave is about eight meters deep, and it's another corner at the fourth meter after entering!
"This is it!"
Outside the cave, there was a clattering sound.
Rolled up rocks hit the cliff wall above.
"In the sandstorm, the air pressure is extremely high, and the sand and dust will definitely pour in from the cracks in the ground, I need a screen!"
Fang Hong moved the three stones vigorously, took out the safety rappelling rope, tightened the hiking bag, and then tied the rope to the three stones placed in the triangular direction, just blocking the corner.
After doing all this, Fang Hong tightened his jacket, buttoned up the velcro, put on his hat, curled up his legs, and fell down behind the mountaineering bag, shrinking at the corner formed by the mountaineering bag at the base of the wall.
Just after doing all this, the cave roared wildly.
The whole cave went dark, and there was no way for the light to penetrate it.
A black storm is coming!
The wind-swept rocks hit the iron pot of the mountaineering bag.
The sand, layer by layer, is covered up.
The night vision device was activated, and the entire cave was densely covered with sand and dust, which could only be faintly seen, Fang Hong hid under the base of the wall, curled up in a ball.
The natural world is always more terrifying than the limits of human imagination, and the terrifying storm summoned by the high priest Immorton in "The Mummy" is only half the speed of the Black Sky Storm, and the scale is less than one percent.
In the midst of this storm, all creatures that have not found shelter will be torn apart and disappear from this world forever.
