Chapter Twenty-Three: An Oasis in the Black Desert
"Boom ......"
The motor roars.
Eighteen sand-effect motorcycles soar into the depths of the black desert.
Behind him, sand and dust dozens of meters high were rolled up.
There is a headset hanging in the ear, and within 2 kilometers, they can talk to each other.
In an hour, the convoy had penetrated a hundred kilometers.
"Boss, there are sand dunes more than ten kilometers ahead." Lu Tao grabbed the handlebar with one hand and raised the binoculars with the other to watch.
"Can you get through?"
"It's hard to say, the dunes look very steep."
"Then get around."
"Boss, you can't see the head on either side, at least hundreds of kilometers."
"Damn, it's so wide, then find a gap to go through."
"Okay, all the brothers, listen up, the boss has an order, go through the sand dunes ahead."
What they can know is that the sand dunes are all distributed in a line, with length but not width, width and not length.
It is hundreds of kilometers long and generally only more than ten miles wide, or even only a few miles.
Between the sand dunes and the dunes, there are hundreds, thousands of meters of gaps.
There is a certain slope, and the motorcycle flying car can easily pass through.
More than a dozen people approached, only to find that the sand dunes were beyond their imagination.
The black sand dunes stand tall and continuous, with no end in sight.
Eighteen flying cars of sand-effect motorcycles plunged headlong.
Right, left, climb, go straight.
Lu Tao was at the front, and he kept giving orders.
"Rumble ......"
A dull roar reached everyone's ears.
"Shaming!"
Wu Fanyang was taken aback.
A geologist once explained to them the knowledge of desert geology, and the sound of sand means that there is quicksand nearby.
The loud sound of sand means that the quicksand area is large and dangerous.
"Voices coming from over there?" He asked hurriedly.
"It's hard to judge."
The sound of sand is coming from the ground, and it is possible from all directions.
"Look, there's dust coming up in front of you." Chen Junwen shouted.
"Boom ......"
As soon as the words fell, in the distance in front of the left, a sand dune tens of meters high suddenly collapsed.
Sand and dust poured in the direction of the convoy.
"To the right, to the right, to the right." Lu Tao roared.
"Boom ......"
With another loud bang, another sand dune collapsed, sending a huge cloud of smoke and dust.
"Damn, quick, quick, quick, I'm going to be buried." Someone yelled.
"Woo...... Boom ......"
More than a dozen people pulled up the throttle and raced to the right front.
The rumbling of the sand is getting louder and louder, and the sound of the dunes collapsing is getting closer and closer.
Eighteen motorcycles are racing through the sand dunes.
All the people did not dare to be careless, and the speed of the car was all broken by one hundred and fifty yards.
"Quick, accelerate, accelerate, accelerate." Wu Fanyang followed last, and he already felt a strong vibration on the ground.
Collapsed sand dunes, just a stone's throw away.
The sky was full of sand and dust, and visibility was extremely low, and it could only be followed by the flashing lights of the vehicles in front.
The headlights are specially designed by Chief Engineer Lv's team for the desert environment, with light, blue and super penetration.
"Out of the sand dunes, no, don't slow down, don't slow down, it's quicksand, it's quicksand." Lu Tao's voice was full of fear.
The last sand dune, left behind.
Ahead, there was a large area of extremely flat sand, undulating with the terrain, but there was not a single bulge towards a huge black blanket.
Typical quicksand sea.
The surface is calm, and underneath, the sand grains are moving, rotating.
Stepping into it is like stepping into a swamp, and there is no way to escape.
"Bang!"
Lu Tao's motorcycle rushed in first, and he had to sink down.
"Boom ......"
"Come up!" He yelled.
The front of the car pulled up sharply, and the whole body slanted to the right.
Speed determines life and death, and once you fall in, there is no way to escape.
One after another, the motorcycles rushed up to the quicksand.
Pull the front of the car, reverse the direction, and pull the throttle.
More than a dozen people acted in one go.
This sea of sand is about ten miles wide.
The sand effect motorcycle is speedy, and the efficiency is maximized.
"Hahaha, Boss, we're here." Lu Tao's speed was adjusted to cruise.
The car still doesn't stop, speeding at high speed.
And the sun came above the heads of all.
"Lu Tao, the color of the sand in front is wrong, take a look."
Wu Fanyang found that a lonely sand dune in the distance was not black.
Lu Tao picked up the binoculars and stared at it for a while.
"It's amazing, there seem to be big trees growing on the dunes."
"Big tree? Brother Tao, you won't be dazzled. Chen Junwen asked in surprise.
"My eyes are good, I can be sure that it is a green space, hehe, the place is not small." Lu Tao put down the binoculars.
……
……
Oasis.
A large oasis.
At least one city is the size of a city.
In the middle, there is a hill with a radius of dozens of acres, and the mountain is covered with tall trees.
More than a dozen cars were parked at the edge of the oasis.
It's winter, but this oasis is teeming with life.
"Don't be careless." Wu Fanyang unfastened the automatic rifle he was carrying and opened the safe.
The oasis is the size of thousands of acres, and when you step inside, you obviously feel that the temperature is much higher than that on the sand.
"Boss, it's a bit like a greenhouse." One said.
His family is in the countryside, and his parents built two greenhouses.
In winter, no matter how low the outside temperature is, the greenhouse can always maintain a certain temperature.
"Probably geothermal." Xu Fei spent time in the Geological Exploration Brigade.
He crouched down, pulled the grass open, and touched the ground.
The ground layer has a warm feeling.
"Come and see, there's a spring coming out of here." Chen Junwen stepped on the puddle.
Xu Fei squatted down again and touched it.
"Hot springs, sure enough, there's geothermal heat down there." He said.
"Can you drink this water?" Lu Tao asked hurriedly.
"Of course, the vegetation is lush, which means that the water quality is good. If it were in our hometown, it might be a high-quality mineral water. Xu Fei sighed.
"Xu Fei, you violated the rules." Lu Tao glared at him fiercely.
Jinshan residents, not allowed to talk about their hometown, not allowed to talk about the earth, is the rule.
Otherwise, there are severe penalties.
At the beginning, Wu Fanyang and the others wondered how those people in the city didn't know where they came from, and how they could completely forget their own history.
When it comes to himself, he realizes that only by forgetting the past can he live here.
"Smack!" Xu Fei slapped himself hard.
"Boss, Xu Fei will be punished." He whispered.
"Brother, this place has just over a dozen of our closest people. This time, I will take you on an adventure to Sun Moon City, and I also have selfish intentions. Wu Fanyang closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Boss, you are the boss, and you are still in danger, how can you be selfish?"
"I suspect that Sun Moon City leads to another world, and maybe even to that side. If that's the case, get out of here and try to get out of here. ”
Over there, it refers to the side of the house.
More than a dozen people fell silent for a moment.
If you can really go home there, don't hesitate.
Here, all of them have prominent identities and hold the power of life and death.
There, Wu Fanyang and Lu Tao, one is a takeaway, and the other is a small shop owner.
Chen Junwen, at best, just graduated from college.
Xu Fei, the leader of the geological team.
"Haha, boss, hot springs, take a bath, relax." Lu Tao's loud voice startled him.
Wu Fanyang's words made him flustered and distraught.
Ji Yue had occupied his heart, and it was difficult for him to make up his mind to leave.
In front of them, there was a pool, the water was not deep, and the temperature was just right.
"No, the pool is not natural." Xu Fei stared at it for a moment, then suddenly shouted.
