Chapter 425: A Tornado Strikes
Luo Hao's words were recognized by all the members of Group B around him, and from the attitude of those armed robbers who were chasing after them, he could know that the other party definitely wanted to kill them all, and if they caught up, it would really be over!
Led by the self-proclaimed "Sand Crab" armed robbers, more than a dozen armed robbers left their guns behind them and engaged in an endurance tug-of-war with six members of Tactical Group B in the endless desert.
People on both sides chase after me, and no one dares to relax for half a minute. Anyway, now that the forward coordinates of Group B have been completely messed up, we can only find a way to get rid of the armed robbers who are like kraft candy behind our buttocks, and then find a way to return to the previous route. Although it will take a lot of time, Luo Hao can't manage it so much at this time!
"Go down!" Luo Hao pointed to a few rocks and a piece of dead wood under the sand dune, and shouted loudly at a few people around him.
Several people jumped and slid down the steep sloping dunes.
The sand crabs that chased to the edge of the dunes, looked at the tactical group B that had already slid down the dunes, grabbed the AK-47 automatic rifle behind them, and yelled angrily at a few companions around him: "Kill them!" ”
"Da Da Da ......"
"Puff puff ......"
However, the sand and dust raised by Luo Hao and his people sliding on the sand dunes blocked the sight of the armed robbers, seriously affecting their shooting accuracy, and all the bullets fell into the sand, and the dust was flying.
The members of Tactical Group B took advantage of the cover of the sand behind them to dodge behind rocks and dead tree trunks. Luo Hao leaned against the rocks and gasped, while calming his breathing, his eyes scanned the surrounding desert, looking for a route to escape.
"Stop shooting, check the ammo, surround it!" The sand crab stopped his subordinates who were holding guns and shooting wildly, and gave a series of orders in a cold voice.
"Haozi, they're surrounding!" Xu Xudong, who was leaning on Luo Hao's side, glanced back at the armed robber who was slowly approaching with a gun behind him, and reminded Luo Hao.
Luo Hao took out the Rambo tactical straight knife in the scabbard and held it in his hand, and the cold light that flashed from his eyes was as cold as the blade of the Rambo tactical straight knife in his hand.
He took the knife in his hand and pulled a knife flower, and said in a cold voice: "Since we can't hide, then we will kill!" ”
Hearing Luo Hao's words, the eyes of several other members of Group B invariably flashed with scorching battle intent, and they all took out their fighting sabers and held them in their hands.
The shoes stepped on the desert, making a subtle "rustling" sound, and the distance between the two sides was constantly narrowed. Luo Hao, who was leaning behind the trunk of the dead tree, held the saber, and silently calculated the distance between his people and the armed robbers behind him, fifty meters...... Thirty meters...... Twenty meters ......
"Haozi, look over there!" Xu Xudong pointed to the desert in the direction of two o'clock and exclaimed
Luo Hao looked in the direction of Xu Xudong's finger, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, his face suddenly changed drastically when he saw it. In front of them on the right, over the desert almost two kilometers away from them, the sky had changed color, and the blue sky had become extremely dark, and a large amount of sand and dust was blown up by the wind, like a tsunami, towards their position, and there was an earthy yellow wind scroll mixed with the dust!
Dust storm! A sandstorm caused by a tornado!
In addition to the high temperatures caused by sun exposure, the meagre amount of rainfall, the temperature difference between day and night, and the scarcity of plants, there are three other environmental factors to be aware of: the surface with a high mineral content, sandstorms, and mirages.
In any arid region there will be areas with a very high mineral content on the surface, and the soil on the surface contains very high levels of minerals such as alkali, salt, lime and borax. The water in these areas is too hard to be used as drinking water. And items that come into contact with this type of soil can be easily damaged.
As for mirage, this is a typical optical phenomenon. It arises when hot air rises on the surface of a stony or sandy surface, causing light to refract. Desert areas about 10 kilometers away from the coastline are often the site of mirages, a sight that would lead observers to think that 1. Objects moving 5 km away or more.
Dust storms occur much more frequently than in areas of high minerals and mirages, and occur in most desert areas. The average wind speed of a dust storm is 3. 2~4。 8 km/h, and when the wind speed is the highest, it can even reach 112~128 km/h.
Walking in a sandstorm is a very dangerous time, not only can you get disoriented, but the sand blows into your mouth and nose, causing a severe cough. Moreover, the danger of sandstorms is not only proportional to the strength of the wind, but also to the form of the wind.
If it's just an ordinary sandstorm, as long as you do a good job of self-protection, choose rocks, hide tree trunks, and wait for the storm to stop, but if it's a sandstorm caused by a tornado, then it's a big trouble! Although this probability is very small, but now Luo Hao and they have really encountered it!
The armed robbers who were approaching Tactical Group B also noticed the wind dragon in the desert, and their faces suddenly changed! They are well aware of the destructive nature of this natural phenomenon that changes the color of the heavens and the earth!
These armed robbers didn't care about the tactical group B, which was already less than twenty meters away from them, and turned around and ran towards the sand dunes. They climb over the sand dunes under their feet before the tornado arrives, then hide under the dunes and wait for the tornado to blow through.
Looking at the wind that was getting closer and closer, Luo Hao yelled at a few team members around him: "Run!" ”
The six of them pulled their legs and ran forward. But where to run, they had no direction at all, only to find a place to hide before the tornado completely approached them.
Now the tornado has just formed, and the wind speed has not yet reached the fastest, if they run fast and avoid the eye of the tornado, they can still escape, but if they wait until the tornado's wind speed reaches the highest speed, then they have no chance to run!
Glancing at the tornado behind him that had begun to gradually increase, getting closer and closer to his own tornado, Luo Hao couldn't help but feel anxious, if it continued like this, it was only a matter of time before he and his brothers around him were swept away by the tornado!
"There's an oasis there!" Lin Xiaoyang, who was running, pointed to a touch of green five hundred meters in front of them and shouted excitedly.
"It can't be a mirage, a phantom refracted by it, right?" Zhou Bai couldn't help frowning, and said with some suspicion.
"Whether it's a mirage or not, we'll have to gamble now!" Luo Hao turned his head to look at the tornado behind him, which was less than eight hundred meters away from him, turned his heart sideways, and ran towards the oasis with the team.
