Chapter 170: Black Storm
As soon as he finished speaking, several people walked over to a table and took out all the extra food in their backpacks.
Lieutenant Zhao's eyes lit up, and he patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder: "Xiexie, it's a big help!" β
"It's nothing, it's hard for you to stay here for so long. Send these to your brothers, we don't have much, but it's enough for you to eat. β
"Okay, I'll find someone to write down this favor. I'll give it back to you when I have time. After Lieutenant Zhao finished speaking, he summoned two soldiers nearby.
"Platoon commander!" The two soldiers immediately stood in front of Lieutenant Zhao, their faces expressionless, but their eyes glanced at the pile of food from time to time, betraying their inner thoughts.
Lieutenant Zhao smiled: "Okay, I don't know how many ghosts you have in your hearts?" Put them up first, and when the fire weakens, they divide them among the brothers. β
"Yes!"
The two soldiers sneered twice and left Lieutenant Zhao's face. After a few seconds, the two of them returned, finding two large cloth bags out of nowhere, and pulling the food into the cloth bags in a few clicks.
There are a lot of things missing from the body, and everyone's weight is also lightened a lot. At this time, Yang Hao and the others seemed to feel that their bodies had become a little lighter, and they were very relaxed.
Lieutenant Zhao looked at Zhang Tianhai and them: "You guys are tired from rushing over, so let's rest here first." I'll let you know when I'm able to leave. We'll have to go then, so we can cover your walk for a while. β
βhaodeγβ
Zhang Tianhai responded, and Lieutenant Zhao left this floor. After all, at this time, there was still a fierce exchange of fire in the vicinity, and he still needed to command.
Several people unloaded their guns and sat down on chairs or on the floor. At this point, everyone finally has a time to rest completely.
After resting for a few hours, several people clearly felt that the gunfire outside was quiet.
The firefight has weakened. Wei Gong, who was aware of this, immediately walked to the edge of the building, stretched out his head for a quarter and glanced outside.
True, the fire in any direction around was weakened, and the helicopters in the vicinity were missing. But something unusual is that it was almost noon and afternoon, but the sky seemed to be about to enter dusk, and the light was very dim.
Wei Gong looked to the right, and there was no abnormality, so he changed his position and looked to the left.
This time, he understood that Weishenme would be like this.
Wei Gong retracted his head and shouted at everyone: "Find something to cover your mouth and nose, the sandstorm is coming!" β
Several people's eyes widened.
Dust storm?
They didn't have time to understand the geography of the city, but when they first entered the dungeon, there were sandstorms around, and it seemed that the geography here was not as good as they imagined.
Everyone immediately reached out and rummaged through their backpacks.
After encountering a forest fire, the first thing they found when they managed to escape and return to the headquarters was a gas mask. But they didn't find it, but they did find a lot of masks.
Something is better than nothing. With this mentality, all five of them took a mask and put it in their backpacks. It doesn't take up much space when folded, and it doesn't weigh much, but no one expected to use it so soon.
Putting on masks, several people hid in places where the sandstorm would not hang directly, and waited quietly.
Liu Chengwei ran into the room where he had stayed before, and soon he came out with a gas mask on his face. It seems that the friendly equipment here is also very well matched.
Within a minute, the light outside suddenly dimmed. Immediately afterward, the overwhelming yellow sand and dust blew into the building.
The sound of gunfire and explosions had completely disappeared from all around, and all that filled my ears was the sound of the wind whistling through the sandstorm, and the sound of sand and dust hitting the walls, tables and chairs, and so on.
Several people were hiding under the table, and the sand did not fall directly on them. However, the wind carried the sand and dust around the building a few times, and within ten minutes, everyone was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Shake it once or twice, and you can see the dust falling from your body. Needless to say, a few layers of dust had been completely spread on the ground.
Not only the sand and dust, but also the wind in the sandstorm. This building was originally a mobile office building, and at this time, the scattered documents, papers, etc. in the building also flew in the air with the strong wind, and some tables and decorations with special structures were also blown away by the strong wind, and some were even blown apart in the wind and fell from the window.
Fortunately, the table where the few people were hiding was sturdy and not blown by the wind, and this location also belonged to the shelter area. But even so, several people also felt the strong wind in this sandstorm.
If someone stands directly on the street, not to mention being blown away, at least they can't even stand up, right?
The light outside is sometimes bright, sometimes it is dim, giving the impression that a few minutes have passed as if a few days have passed.
Soon, the light suddenly went completely dark. Several people hid here, and the vision in front of them was compressed to the limit, and in serious cases, they couldn't even see the staircase wall ten meters away.
The wind suddenly became stronger, and the tables around me began to feel like they were being shaken.
In order not to let the table leave, several people hiding under the table reached out and grabbed the legs of the table, trying to secure it here. In this way, everyone can feel the strength of the wind from the touch of their fingers.
Zhang Tianhai grabbed the two table legs and shouted, "We have encountered a black storm!" β
Black Storm is the strongest class of sandstorms, with instantaneous winds exceeding 25 meters per second. People in a black storm have a maximum visibility of only 50 meters, and more often than not, as now, visibility is simply zero.
Black storms are very powerful in destroying agriculture, commerce, life, and so on. Such a sandstorm can scrape at least a layer of the farmland away, and if there are still unripe crops in the farmland, then it will be completely destroyed in this sandstorm. Extreme wind can uproot trees, power poles, and more, and sand particles can blow through buildings at breakneck speeds, which can also cause wear and tear on the surface of buildings. Once this wear and tear exceeds the building's capacity, then the building will soon disappear in the black storm.
Moreover, sandstorms can also cause great harm to the human body. If you are in a sandstorm, you will inhale a lot of dust and sand particles through your respiratory system. It also carries a lot of toxic substances that can cause various lung diseases. Moreover, these toxic substances and bacteria can also burrow into the eyes and nose of the human body, and if not treated in time, they can even cause life-threatening.
However, the harm of this has now been minimized, and at this time, nothing is good for a gas mask or face shield.
Now there is no need to look to anything else, just pray that this building will withstand the erosion of the black storm, and that this sandstorm will pass sooner.
"Boom ......"
As I was praying in my heart, I remembered a roar outside. A few people looked around, they were still good, and they didn't lose their foothold, but there was a strong vibration on the ground under their feet.
Several people glanced at each other, and Wei Gong shouted, "A building has collapsed!" β
Yes, less than a hundred meters away from them, a building of more than fifty floors collapsed in a black storm. It is so high that the windward area is much larger than other buildings, and it can withstand several times more wind. Moreover, the building has been subjected to a lot of bullets and shells before, and it has been damaged. At this time, facing such a strong wind, the building could not withstand such a liliang, and the base broke, fell sideways, and smashed on another building that was not very tall across the street, and also brought it into a state of semi-ruins.
No one can know how many people in this building will survive, but the survival rate is definitely not high.
Originally, such a high-rise building had an absolute geographical advantage in the vicinity. But now, it's become a fatal point.
Zhang Tianhai looked at his building, and began to feel a little uneasy.
My own building is not high, but it also has more than 30 floors!
Zhang Tianhai roared: "Come out!" It's all out! Hurry up to the first floor! β
At this time, the first floor is the safest place. Under the influence of the wind, people will not be blown too far away, at least. If you are upstairs, you will be swept out of the building by strong winds, and if you can survive, it can only be said to be a miracle.
And if the building can't bear it, you can escape from the building on the first floor as quickly as possible. Although this will directly expose you to the sandstorm, it is still more likely to survive than being crushed by a collapsed building, right?
Hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, everyone lifted the table and ran away in a half-squat.
Leaving the protection of the table, everyone instantly felt the wind of the sandstorm.
Yang Hao stood up with unsteady footsteps, and was almost blown to the ground by the strong wind. Hold on to the table next to him, so that he didn't lie directly on the ground.
The direction in which several people are headwinding is difficult. But everyone either grabbed the table or moved against the wall, and it took a few minutes to finally make it to the staircase.
The wind here is still strong, but compared to the outside, it seems much weaker, at least it doesn't make everyone feel like they can't move forward anymore.
Coming to the first floor of the stairs, Zhang Tianhai clenched his fists and shouted: "Just hide here!" β
The staircase on the first floor is very spacious, and there is a flight of stairs leading to the basement. It stands to reason that the basement should be the safest, but Zhang Tianhai didn't go there. Because there is no other exit from the basement, if something happens, they will be trapped there, and when the time comes, the situation will be even worse than it is now.
