Chapter 14: Sandstorms
"Really? Fool people! I said casually after reading it.
"Really, I tried, that's why you came to see!" Wang Sheng said immediately.
"I don't believe it!" I shook my head in disbelief.
"If you don't believe it, try it!" Wang Sheng pushed me, as if he was upset that I didn't believe me.
I pulled out my phone, my latest new iPhone, and it was full of signal.
I took two steps forward to the sign, which is called no man's land.
As a result, there was really a magical scene, and there was really no signal.
"Shhh Evil Gate, it's full over there, but it's not there in an instant! It's just one step away, is it so obvious? Not even a transition zone? I was amazed and amazed.
In my imagination, even if the signal is absent, it will gradually weaken, not disappear suddenly.
After trying it a few times, I found that this is really the case, as long as you pass the sign, there is no signal, as long as you come back, there is a signal.
"Could it be a problem with this brand, what signal jammer or something is buried under it!" I asked, pointing to the sign.
Wang Sheng looked impatient: "How do I know, you dig it and try it!" ”
"Get out! Why don't you dig! ”
"I didn't say there was a signal jammer!"
When we got into an argument, Victoria came over and told her what we had found, and Victoria took out her phone to test it and found it exactly what I was experiencing.
She was also puzzled, and wondered if there was a signal jammer nearby, so she decided to take a closer look to see if it would still be like this.
So she left a hundred meters in a straight line, and after a little fine-tuning, she found that the instantaneous signal was real.
"Isn't it far enough, why don't we drive farther and take a look?" I wondered.
"Don't do it, it's basically certain that it's true, and it's estimated that it's useless to drive far." Victoria stopped me from thinking.
But I still don't believe it: "I remember, when the mobile phone has no signal, it seems that you can call the emergency number, or let's do it?" ”
"Bullshit, that's a case of arrears, what nonsense when there is no signal!" Wang Sheng corrected my mistakes.
"I don't care about trying, besides, I don't owe anything!" So I crossed the sign and started making calls.
I broadcast all the numbers that can be broadcast, even 999, 911, and I can't even broadcast it.
"Give it a try on a satellite phone!" I still didn't give up, and said to Victoria.
Victoria took out the satellite phone, but it didn't work.
The convoy moved on, and I thought the place was a little weird, so I informed everyone: "
The three of us must be close to each other, no matter what happens, we must not separate, once separated, it may be dangerous. ”
Everyone knew about the signal, and they responded to it.
After that, I kept looking at my phone, always paying attention to it, just to see if there was any signal, but there was no signal.
But what I feared never happened.
What I'm worried about is that when I enter the desert, there will inevitably be sandstorms, which is the routine of all film and television dramas.
I looked at the endless sky, and it didn't look like there would be a sandstorm at all.
At first, I was still happy, thinking that I would not encounter such a bloody thing.
But when the convoy crossed a hill, the sky suddenly changed.
It becomes more open than a summer thundershower.
A gust of wind rose from the distant horizon, bringing up a burst of yellow sand, and then the yellow sand expanded rapidly, instantly sweeping the entire horizon, from a small tornado to a shocking sandstorm, and the sky also changed from a clear sky just now, to a dark night.
"This is terrifying, isn't it?" I looked at the rapidly changing weather and was a little dumbfounded.
"Tell Sam's convoy not to continue!" I looked at Sam's motorcade and didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and immediately became anxious.
"Radio doesn't work either!" Victoria's voice was anxious, and it was clear that he had just discovered that the radio didn't work.
"How do you 。。。。。。 that?" I was going to say, "What then?", but when I remembered that I kept asking this question, it was annoying, so I immediately stopped talking and changed my mind: "They must have seen the sandstorm and rushed inside, either crazy or intentional." ”
"Shall we rush then?" Luna asked.
Because we were the first car, we didn't stop, Wang Sheng and Lao Qi didn't stop either, and they continued to drive, but now that they have driven side by side, they should want to ask what to do, or they are worried that we are blinded by something and don't see the sandstorm, so they specially caught up and reminded us.
"Nope! We don't go in, no matter what's in it, we can't go in, and once we get in, who knows what's going to happen? Run over there, not over there! I pointed in the direction of the sandstorm and told Luna to drive that way.
and reminded Wang Sheng and Lao Qi through gestures to drive over there as well.
This is a life-and-death hour, the range of the sandstorm is limited, and it is coming diagonally, we just need to dodge to the right and avoid the range of the sandstorm, it should not be a big problem.
We were three cars, speeding through the desert, bringing up three clouds of yellow smoke.
On the other hand, there are overwhelming sandstorms.
It was getting darker and darker, and it was already invisible to the naked eye, so the headlights turned on and continued to run wildly.
And yet I
Or trough up the speed of the sandstorm, and the coverage.
Before we could reach safety, we were swallowed up by a sandstorm.
The wind and sand hit the car, making a crackling sound, no less than the sound of a raging storm.
It was dusk ahead, and we couldn't see anything.
"What should I do?" Luna asked.
I understood what Luna meant, she was saying she couldn't see it, whether she was going to keep going, or to stop.
If you continue to drive forward, there is no problem, after all, it is an endless desert, so you don't have to worry about hitting anything.
But I was afraid that if we continued to drive forward, we would eventually lose our way and find no one else.
So I ordered the car to stop, and asked Luna to honk her horn to remind Wang Sheng and Lao Qi to stop as well.
We didn't make an appointment in advance, but everyone would use Morse code to press it out with a loudspeaker and tell everyone not to go.
Soon we also received a response, Wang Sheng and Lao Qi's horns, although very weak, but still a little bit can be heard.
The dust was like a blizzard, and soon it left a thick layer of sand on the windshield.
Outside, the wind and sand were howling, and ghosts were crying and wolves.
Inside, everyone listened safely, and there was no situation where the cars were blown away.
It's not nonsense to blow the car away, a tornado is fine, and the strong winds in Xinjiang are famous, and in the nineties, the trains were blown away for you, not to mention that you have a car.
I, Victoria, and Luna stayed in the car, waiting, hoping that the sandstorm would pass sooner.
Everyone was bored and didn't have the heart to chat, after all, the wind was quite loud outside, and the chat couldn't be heard clearly.
So I closed my eyes and recuperated, and I don't know how long it took for our windshield to be almost completely covered with sand.
I can't see the situation in front of me anymore, and of course, even if I am not covered by a fool, I can't see the situation in front of me clearly, and the sand in the rushing sandstorm is too dense.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! "There was a rhythmic slapping sound, and it sounded like it was slapping our car.
I opened my eyes and looked at Victoria and Luna, and their expressions told me they heard it.
I frowned, I thought I guessed who this was, I began to think that it might be Wang Sheng or Lao Qi, but I know the two of them, they are very stable, it is impossible to get off in this environment.
And even if they get off, they won't be able to get by.
The wind and sand outside are very terrifying, as I said earlier, you can't blow up the car, but it is easy to blow away a person.
But if not them, who would it be?
Just when I was puzzled, the door on Victoria's side was suddenly opened, and the wind and sand poured in in an instant.
