Chapter 31: Field Survey
Zhang Xu didn't have too many mood swings for the foreigner's provocation, although several other people were indignant, Meng Xinke was about to rush up with a wrench, but was also stopped by Zhang Xu.
"Alright, let's get off early, get up at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning, survey the terrain and set up a safe zone. It's cold in the desert at night, everyone should be careful not to catch a cold, food and water are in the green bag of the tent, you all know that you don't need me to repeat it, so you should be busy, pay attention to safety. ”
Zhang Xu walked into the tent, rummaged in it for a while and then came out, carrying a loop of rope on his shoulder, and walked in the direction of the nearest trees, and Lin Ping also followed.
"Well, aren't you going to rest?" Zhang Xushen walked in the sand with one shallow foot, looked at Lin Ping who had caught up and asked.
"I've never been to the desert, so I want to see everywhere." Lin Ping smiled at Zhang Xu and said.
"Desert, you won't want to come again if you come a few more times." Zhang Xu grabbed Lin Ping's arm, and the two of them walked towards the nearby bushes: "Be careful, there may be quicksand." ”
Lin Ping carefully looked at the road under his feet, held a flashlight, and said, "If those foreigners compare with you, what is the difference in strength?" ”
Lin Ping is concerned about tomorrow night's star-chasing trip, if he can't get Yang Tie just to accompany foreigners, this time it will be in vain. Listening to Zhang Xu's description of Black Star, there is a big gap in strength between the two clubs, which is also what Lin Ping is worried about.
"If you really want to talk about the level of professionalism, in fact, everyone is about the same. But, hehe, these people are too despicable. Zhang Xu turned his head and glanced at Black Star's camp: "As long as they don't kill people, they have almost no lower limit." Moreover, there are no laws and regulations to restrict such a thing as chasing stars, and unfortunately being stoned to death by a meteor can only be regarded as an accidental death, and no one will be held accountable. I fought with them a few times, and if it weren't for the fat man, a few of them would have been skilled. Tomorrow night you are behind me, be careful, don't get out of their way. ”
The two went into the desert bushes, looked for some dry branches on the ground, tied them with ropes, and dragged them to the camp.
The temperature difference in the desert varies greatly, and it can be more than 40 degrees Celsius during the day, and the temperature can even drop below zero at night, so you can get sick if you are not careful. At the same time, there are also some reptiles such as snakes, lizards, scorpions, etc., and the fire is also for safety reasons.
After lighting the fire, Zhang Xu arranged a vigil at night, two hours per person, and the big guy was very tired after a day's journey, and soon fell asleep.
Before dawn in the early morning of the next day, the people of the Star Club got up early, and the last vigil was Wang Chengzhi, who fell asleep by the extinguished fire.
After a simple wash, they got into the car in turn according to the order arranged before, and Lin Ping and Zhang Xu got into the off-road vehicle.
"Boom"
Whether it is an off-road vehicle or a motorcycle-colored engine, the engine starts very loudly, and a pile of yellow sand rises behind the car.
At the same time, the people on the Black Star side also acted, four off-road vehicles and two motorcycles, and the motorcycles were one in front of the other, and the whole convoy was lined up, and two groups of people drove in the same direction.
The desert here is relatively flat and the sand is shallow, and the convoy travels quickly.
After driving for about five miles, Zhu Xun, who was driving the road in front, stopped, and Liu Bian, who was sitting behind the motorcycle, took out a tablet, looked at the surrounding terrain and proofread on the tablet.
Everyone gathered around, and Liu Wei said: "The precise time should be around half past eight to nine o'clock in the evening, and the location where the meteor shower landed is near the hill over there, you see." ”
Liu Bian pointed to a towering sand dune to the east, about a kilometer away from here, where the Black Star's convoy was parked, and the people from the Star Club looked this way, and the five Black Star men were pointing at the same time.
"The meteor shower has a landing area of about 10 square kilometers, and the core area is 2 square kilometers, which means that the center of the hill is a danger zone. The terrain here has a reverse slope, which can effectively relieve the impact of the meteor shower's fall, and we can make a hole here as a safe house. Liu Ben walked to the back slope and stepped on the ground with his foot to make a circle: "This is the best place to build a safe house, and it is also the least affected." ”
Zhang Xu took out a folding shovel from the backpack behind him, dug half a meter deep in the place where Liu Yan circled, nodded and said, "There are no stones underneath, so you can build a safe house." Baofeng, Xinke, I'll leave it to you here, out of the safe house, you have to dig an anticline back pit to hide the car. ”
"Okay, I have to work hard, if I go back with a tan, the old man will have to scold me for not doing my job." Qi Baofeng said with a smile and took out a folding shovel and two stacks of thick oilcloth from his backpack, the oilcloth was used to prevent sand and insects inside after it was built.
Meng Xinke glanced at Qi Baofeng, skillfully took out the shovel, and the two of them began to dig and build a safe house on the spot.
In the direction of the hill that Liu pointed to, that is, in the center of the meteor landing, Black Star left an off-road vehicle, and the others had already left, and a spade of yellow sand was thrown into the air, and they were also digging to build a safe house.
"Are these people crazy? Isn't it the heartland? Lin Ping looked at the off-road vehicle with some surprise.
"Hehe, brother, this is called a profession, and making money is a matter of life." The fat man Zhu Xun smiled and patted Lin Ping's shoulder.
"Alright, let's go to the next point." Leave Qi Baofeng and Meng Xinke behind, and beckon the others to get out of the car.
The convoy ran around the meteor landing belt drawn by Liu Bian on the tablet, and Zhang Xu took a walkie-talkie and said from time to time: "Wait here to be emptied, there are too many stones on the ground, and motorcycles are prone to accidents, Liu Bian, you make a mark." There was a bunker twenty meters ahead, marked and filled in when I came back. ”
The convoy drove very slowly, and everyone got out of the car from time to time to observe the terrain, clear the ground and build a safe house for the night star chasing, and all had to allocate manpower, and finally only Lin Ping, Zhang Xu, Liu Bian and Zhu Xun were left, and they went to the last safety point.
Liu Fen surveyed the entire terrain and planned a total of three safe houses, two on the edge and one on the sand and gravel near the central area.
Because there are too many rocks on the gravel floor and the ground is very strong, this safe house needs four people to complete together.
Just as the four of them were digging with shovels, a blue off-road vehicle not far away drove over this way, and stretched out a hand from the window to Zhang Xu and the others with the middle finger.
"The plague god is here, Zhu Xun, I'll leave it to you." Zhang Xu stopped what he was doing, stood up and looked at the blue off-road vehicle and said.
The fat man Zhu Xun excitedly put his index finger on the hat on his head: "Hehe, you guys go build a safe house, I'll play with them." ”
Put away the folding shovel in his hand and put it into the bag on the ground, Zhu Xun walked into the black off-road vehicle parked next to him and started the engine, the rumbling engine sound was deafening, the yellow sand was flying, and the sand under the tires set off deep pits.
"Boom"
The black buggy rushed out like an arrow towards the blue buggy.
Lin Ping looked at the two off-road vehicles, one black and one blue, in surprise: "Are they going to race cars?" ”
Zhang Xu looked at the two cars parked opposite, and said with a smile: "The name on that car is White, it is the second consecutive F1 rally champion, the fat man won the championship that time was snatched from him, and then there was no chance to fight, White has always been unconvinced." After meeting us, every time he surveyed the terrain, he would come to find the fat man racing. ”
"So who won?" Lin Ping asked.
"Each has its own winners and losers, but the fat man rapes, losing will not make White feel better, speaking of which, it should be the fat man who wins more." Zhang Xu simply threw the folding shovel aside, lit a cigarette to watch the two of them racing, and also handed Lin Ping one: "Do you smoke?" ”
Lin Ping took the cigarette and sat with Zhang Xu, and it was rare to see the F1 champion racers facing each other.
