Chapter 102: The Hurricane Rages

While the four action teams were busy surveying the route. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

More than 200 kilometers away from the crater, a crisis struck without warning.

Martian Hurricane Dust Storm !!

Hurricanes and dust storms on the surface of Mars are a unique phenomenon in the Martian atmosphere, and the entire Martian season is shrouded in wild sand for 1/4 of the year.

Due to the high iron content of Martian soil, the Martian dust storm is dyed with orange color, and the air is full of red dust, which looks like an orange cloud from the cosmic space.

Martian dust storms generally occur around the perihelion of Mars. Because at this time, the sun has a relatively large heating effect on the surface of Mars, the hot air rises, the dust is raised, and dust storms begin to form and slowly expand.

Soon, a sudden hurricane dust storm began to spread in the direction of the crater where the Mars exploration team was located, and there was a great tendency to envelop the whole of Mars in the dust storm.

Not only did the dust storm come without warning, but the wind speed reached 160 meters per second (32.6 meters per second for a Category 12 typhoon on Earth).

Indeed, the wind speed of 160 meters per second sounds particularly terrifying.

You can imagine what it would be like to open the sunroof, stand up, and show your head when your car is speeding at a terrifying 580 kilometers per hour (in the fifties of the twenty-first century, the speed limit on highways was 220 kilometers per hour).

Virtually all the superhurricanes on Earth have ever exceeded or even approached this speed.

If a hurricane of 160 meters per second (580 km/h) appears on the Earth's land, the result will be devastating!

Luckily, this is Mars.

A hurricane of this magnitude on Mars is actually far less terrifying than on Earth.

We are on Earth, when the wind blows on the skin, the cause of discomfort is not only the wind speed, but also the density of the wind.

On Mars, the air concentration is only one hundredth of that of Earth, which means that the wind exerts much less pressure on you.

In other words, the Martian hurricane that Yuan Haochen encountered was actually not so terrifying, it was indeed dangerous, but it was not devastating.

"Attention everyone, attention everyone! Please return to camp promptly, please return to camp promptly. ”

As soon as the hurricane dust storm occurred, it was discovered by Jenson, who was staying on the starship spaceship.

"200 kilometers southeast of the crater, a sudden hurricane and dust storm are rapidly approaching you!!"

Jenson couldn't care much more, and turned on the emergency call channel, his anxious voice ringing through everyone's communication devices at the same time.

"The hurricane is expected to reach the front of the crater in 15 minutes." Jenson made an infinitely frightening judgment.

"God, the three of us will be the first to get up close and personal with the hurricane!" When Durunik heard the news, he immediately became nervous.

"Action Team 1, please act now, your situation is very dangerous!"

Due to the distance from space, Hara's spacesuit voice device could only receive radio signals from the Starship spacecraft, but could not respond.

"Hurry down the mountain!!" Yuan Haochen said categorically, and before he finished speaking, he had already pushed Durunik down the mountain.

Bruno is worthy of being a member of the action team, his reaction is extremely fast, and he has jumped four or five meters away with a single step.

"But~ but, but 15 minutes, also, it's not enough, we go down the mountain the fastest, and it will take half an hour at the earliest......" Durunik soon ran out of breath.

"Don't talk nonsense, conserve your strength, run !!" Yuan Haochen roared.

Soon, the hurricane mixed with the dust storm rolled in, and Yuan Haochen could clearly see the orange and red in the sky not far away.

As time passed, the whole sky began to get darker and darker, and a deep sense of fear began to oppress everyone's nerves!

The three of Yuan Haochen were already at full power, and they rushed down the mountain.

Driven by the survival instinct, the functions that used to run relatively slowly have begun to speed up under the stimulation of hormones. Along the way, they had completely ignored the potential dangers, and the stones that they had to dare to step on after carefully confirming their safety were now completely ignored!

"Damn, I didn't expect to encounter this !! again" Yuan Haochen's mind flashed very strangely the scene of the sandstorm in Xinjiang that year.

It's just that this time is no longer the same as it used to be, and he is now on Mars, where the environment is extremely harsh.

Yuan Haochen's pupils constricted, and he quickly eliminated the superfluous thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, he can't afford to be distracted, it's a race against life and time!

Bruno opened the way at the front, Durunik, who was a little less in good health, followed as hard as he could, and Hara ran behind the last hall.

After 10 minutes, Yuan Haochen could clearly feel that Durunik's physical strength had been seriously overdrawn, and even close to the point of collapse.

It can be said that Durnik is moving forward mechanically with the last of his perseverance and instinct.

Although Yuan Haochen was also very anxious in his heart, he had no other way but to push and support him from time to time.

Another five minutes passed, and they were nearly a fifth of the way to the foot of the mountain.

"It's over!"

Looking at the hurricane dust storm that was already close at hand, Durunik couldn't help but spit out these three words of despair.

The hurricane quickly swept over their bodies, and Yuan Haochen suddenly felt that his eyes had become hazy, and he could no longer see anything except orange and red as far as he could see.

The sound of hurricanes or dust rubbing against spacesuits at high speed is heard.

"What should I do?" Durunik's voice had begun to tremble.

However, no one answered him.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the three people standing in the wind began to be blown around.

"Squat, let's crawl down the mountain, don't give up!" Bruno roars in the midst of a hurricane!

There's no way around it!

No matter how difficult it is, they must find a way to get down the hill and find their way back to camp, because no one knows when the hurricane will end.

If you stagnate at this time, you are simply sitting still!

Even if they don't get involved in a hurricane, they are likely to die here because they run out of supplies and oxygen.

The three of them naturally understood the danger they were facing, so they all tried their best to lower their bodies, tried their best to suppress the surging fear in their hearts, and moved down the mountain with difficulty by touching the stones under their feet.

Soon, they found that in this duststorm that covered the sky and the sun, it was simply wishful thinking to discern the way forward!

"Can't give up !!" Bruno's tearing cry rang out again!

What an iron-clad man!

Yuan Haochen put his hand on Durunik's shoulder, and Durunik's shoulder looked so weak. Yuan Haochen grabbed hard, he hoped that the almost desperate Durunik could rekindle his fighting spirit!

There is no greater fear in the human heart than the loss of direction in life, which is a feeling of powerlessness that borders on despair.

If someone can show them a clear direction at this time, even if they use the strength to feed, they will desperately crawl forward driven by the survival instinct.

But there was no one to tell them where to go.

They want to live, but they don't know how to fight for this slim opportunity.

"Ah~"

Under tremendous pressure and fear, Durunik's feet finally fell.

One was not paying attention, taking half a step into the air, and saw that his body was about to twist and roll towards the rocks below the mountain.

"Be careful!!"

Almost at the same time, both Hara and Bruno spread out their hands and forcefully supported Durunike's fallen body.

"Boom~" The stone under Yuan Haochen's feet finally collapsed instantly under excessive pressure.

At this time of crisis, this sudden situation is nothing less than a worse situation.

Yuan Haochen's body also began to slide downward uncontrollably.

"Ah~"

As if with all his strength, Bruno pushed Durunik to the relative safety of the stone pile.

Then he pounced at the speed of lightning and flint in the direction where Yuan Haochen had slipped down.

At the last moment, Bruno grabbed Yuan Haochen's arm.

"Hold on!" Bruno's voice rang out again!

"Boom~" Another whole piece of stone collapsed and slid down.

The relentless hurricane roared and swept Bruno and Hara down the rocky mountain walls......
