Chapter 888: Buried Alive
Sandstorms are a general term for sandstorms and dust storms, and in desert areas, sandstorms generally occur.
Sandstorms are terrible, and the most destructive thing is the sandstorm!
The so-called sand burial is a way for farmland, channels, cottages, railways, grasslands, etc. to be buried by a large amount of quicksand, especially to transportation, and it is also a way for the desert to expand its territory.
One of the reasons why Poplar Forest is known as the protector of the desert is that he can resist sandstorms!
In the desert, there is no farmland, grassland, etc., but it is a great threat to people, fine sand particles will cause physical injury to the body, and the most dangerous sand dune movement may directly bury people alive under the sand dunes that are several meters deep, or even more than ten meters.
Therefore, in the desert, there are no roads at all, and there is no fixed environment, and whenever there is a sandstorm, all the environmental rights change, and it is completely different from before.
Tang Dashao and the others were very dangerous at this time, because there were several sand dunes in the vicinity where they were, and they happened to be on the same side of the sandstorm.
In this way, the sandstorm is very likely to move the sand dunes, and eventually bury Tang Dashao and others alive in the sand.
Those who stay above are dangerous, and those who stay below are not safe, and the caves they have worked so hard to dig will most likely be refilled by sandstorms, and eventually everyone will be buried in the desert......
If you're lucky, they'll be dug up in a few months, and if you're unlucky, they'll be fossilized for hundreds or thousands of years......
Sandstorms are the same as quicksand, they are killers in the desert, Tang Dashao wants to come to the desert, these dangerous things, naturally have some understanding, the best way now is to hide in the back of the truck, waiting for the sandstorm to pass.
However, there are still many people in the dungeon, they still don't know the situation outside, once the sandstorm buries the hole, they are equivalent to being sealed in the dungeon......
"What now?" Under the crisis, Tang Dashao did not make decisions on his own, but sought the opinions of Huhe.
After all, Hohe is a Mongolian, and he used to live in a grassland not very far from the desert, so he must have more ways to deal with sandstorms.
"Tang Shao, there are only two ways now, first, let's hide directly, hide behind the pickup, and wait for the sandstorm to pass. But in this case, the hole we have worked so hard to dig will definitely be sealed. ”
"I don't know how long this sandstorm will blow, I don't know if their oxygen can support our rescue, the most important thing is that there is no water or food below, once the hole is sealed, when the sandstorm passes, we will dig the hole again, and it will be too late." Huhe said.
"What about the second method?" Tang Dashao asked.
"The second way is for us to go down and take food and water, and all the oxygen cylinders, and hide underneath, and when the sandstorm passes, we dig a hole from below to the top."
"There are drawbacks to this method, if we don't find the right way out, or if we can't dig the hole above before the oxygen is exhausted, we all risk suffocating underneath!" Hohe fast track.
There are two ways, one is to save yourself, but these people below may all die.
The other shared their suffering, and everyone went down, but if the hole was not dug before the oxygen was exhausted, none of them would survive!
When it comes to the safety of their own lives, everyone will have doubts, and Tang Dashao is no exception, whether to go down and share the hardships with them, or to avoid the sandstorm in time, this is indeed a difficult choice!
"Tang Shao, there's no time, hurry up and choose." Huhe hurriedly said.
Not only Huhe, but also the rest of the people are looking at Tang Dashao, how to choose!
"Quick, everyone take all the oxygen from the car, bring some food, bring water, and shovels, and boxes for us all to go down and shelter from the storm!" Tang Da Shaodao.
Oxygen is necessary to breathe underneath, food and water to replenish the body, shovels and boxes, which they need to dig holes after the storm has passed!
Tang Dashao finally chose to share the hardships!
There are not only the soldiers who helped them dig their own holes, but also Ye Qun!
Tang Dashao couldn't leave him alone......
Moreover, if they go down together, Tang Da rarely has the ability to find the best path to dig a hole, and it is more likely that they will get out alive together.
"Tang, Tang Shao, you and Ye Shao, don't go down and take risks, let's just go down, you guys get on the pickup and stay in the car, it should be fine." Huhe said.
"Yes, Tang Shao, you two better not go down." Ye Jundao.
"Hehe, don't worry, we'll be fine, besides, the fifth child is still below, if we leave him alone, after we go back, the old man won't have to split us." Ye Hua chuckled.
It's easy to say, in fact, it's really not a decision that anyone can make at the risk of being buried alive and going down again!
After all, there is a pickup truck on it, and it is very easy to stay in the car and withstand this sandstorm, and there will be no danger, and if you go underground, it is very likely that you will never get out again.
"Okay, don't talk about it, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the real sandstorm is probably not far away, hurry up and move things!" Tang Da Shaodao.
"Yes!"
The eyes of all the people looking at Tang Dashao again were already a little different, no matter whether there was Ye Qun's storage zài or not, he was willing to live and die with himself and others, which had already shocked everyone!
After all, if you go to the dungeon together, it is very likely that everyone will die in the dungeon, and it is much better to hide in the pickup truck.
Everyone ran towards the oxygen cylinder first, this is a must for everyone below, Tang Dashao had a lot of strength, directly carried two buckets of water and ran to the entrance of the cave, threw it directly, and then took some food and threw it in.
Seeing Tang Dashao's movements, the others also threw it, of course, the oxygen cylinder can't be still, in case of explosion, it's terrible.
The people in the dungeon were still cutting the stone slabs, and they didn't know what was happening outside, but they heard the sound of clanging and clanging at the entrance of the cave, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The sandstorm came quickly, but in just a few minutes, the black wind in the distance was already visible to the naked eye.
"Quick, everyone go down to the cave immediately, the black wind is coming, hurry up!" Huhe shouted loudly.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly ran towards the cave, which was also dozens of meters deep, but fortunately it was not going straight ahead, but it was sloped downward, so that it was only necessary to run down quickly along the slope.
Everyone entered the cave, and Tang Dashao sorted out the things they had thrown before.
"Tang Shao, I'll build yì to block this cave first, so that since then, the wind can't blow in, and the sand will only block the cave at most, and this section of the underground can still be retained." Huhe said.
"Well, good idea, let's dig the earth from the side, dig out the mound, and plug this cave!" Tang Dashao nodded when he heard this.
At this time, the people inside also came out, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Tang Dashao's movements......
"Little Liuzi, what are you doing? Plugging the hole, how do we get out? Ye Qun said.
"It's dark wind blowing outside right now, and it won't work if it's not blocked. The wind will blow into the ground, carry the sand, and finally bury the entire underground palace," Tang Dashao shook his head and said.
"Black Wind? What's that? Ye Qun was puzzled.
"It's a sandstorm!" Ye Jun explained.
"What, sandstorm? There's a sandstorm up there? Why haven't we heard anything? Ye Qun frowned.
"Maybe no one pays attention to this, anyway, don't talk about it, plug this hole first, and when the sandstorm passes, we will dig it out from here." Tang Da Shaodao.
"Well, why did you two come down and do it again? Isn't there a pickup truck on it, you sit in the car, aren't you fine? Ye Qun frowned.
"Qun Shao, Tang Shao, they don't worry about you!" Ye Jundao.
He is the old man's personal guard, and he is very familiar with Ye Qun, and there are some words that are only appropriate for him to say!
Ye Qun's nose was sour when he heard this, and it was definitely not safe to stay in the car below, after all, once this place is blocked, the oxygen below may not be enough, so if the passage cannot be dug before the oxygen is consumed, it is very likely that something will happen......
"Okay, it's all down, let's go over first, call all the people in the dungeon down, and then block the entrance of the dungeon, so that at the critical moment, the air in this zài passage can still hold up for a while."
"Everyone, there's no need to move around, keep your body up, save oxygen, we don't know how long we're going to stay underground!" Ye Hua Road.
"I'll go up there and call someone." Ye Jundao.
"Well, let's go, everyone turn off the flashlight first, just turn it on for the time being, save some electricity, maybe you will use it." Tang Da Shaodao.
"Hehe, in fact, the most important thing for us is the oxygen problem, this water, and food, should be enough for us to live underground for two or three days, but I don't know when the sandstorm above will pass." Ye Qundao.
"Well, in fact, we don't have to wait for the sandstorm to pass before digging a hole, we can dig in the process, as long as we don't dig thoroughly." Tang Dashao nodded.
After a while, Lin Xuan and the others also came down from above, and everyone was crowded into this passage, many of them were already on the walls of the cave, reducing their activities and saving oxygen consumption.
"Tang Shao, we have come down, and the cave in the dungeon has been blocked." Lin Xuan said.
"Well, okay, let's pay attention to it here, take a rest, and wait for the sandstorm to pass." Tang Da Shaodao.
"Well, there's no other way now, it's really unfortunate that I encountered a sandstorm at this time." Lin Xuan said depressedly.
"Hehe, fortunately, we went up to take a look just now and found the sandstorm in time, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable......" Tang Dashao said with a smile.
There is not enough oxygen, no water, no food, and they will probably not be able to get out alive anyway......
