Chapter 34: Meteor Shower

Liu Yan sent the observation results in real time, and everyone was very nervous.

Zhang Xu repeatedly emphasized safety matters on the walkie-talkie, and told every detail of the action again, although he has countless star chasing experiences, he still can't avoid the awe and fear of this kind of interplanetary wonder.

Zhang Xu said so much, and one of the very important things was mentioned: for a period of time after the meteorite landed, there may be a failure of communication equipment.

This is caused by the disturbance of the magnetic field, Lin Ping had found Qiu Fenghui because of the Yin Stone before, and he also said this knowledge when explaining the Yin Stone and Yang Iron, before coming to the Gobi Desert, Lin Ping had been consulting information at Xu Jie's house, and he also saw this part, which is a normal phenomenon.

The time is getting closer and closer, and Liu Yan's voice on the walkie-talkie is getting more and more urgent: "Here, the nearest meteor is still three thousand meters or one thousand meters above the ground, get ready." ”

Everyone's hearts are in their throats, the more nervous they are at this time, the sound of Liu Jiebao is getting smaller and smaller, and there is a little noise on the walkie-talkie, it seems that because of the meteor fall, it has affected the radio waves and magnetic field in this area.

Lin Ping didn't dare to go out to see, in case he was hit by a meteor, he couldn't even leave the whole corpse.

Through the slit in the middle of the anti-sand cloth covered by the safe house, you can see that the yellow sand in the distance reflects a bright red and yellow light, gradually increasing from a light spot, and a huge fireball falling from the sky.

"Boom"

It was the first sound, and the ground shook violently, as if it were an earthquake. The sand dunes above his head also suffered a huge momentum, and countless sand and gravels were pressed down from above, and the safe house, which was originally nearly one and a half meters high, was suddenly deflated, leaving only half a meter high, Zhang Xu pressed Lin Ping's head down, and the two of them crawled on the anti-sand cloth at the same time.

Zhang Xu scolded: "What kind of safe house these foreigners built, they are not afraid of crushing themselves to death." ”

In fact, this is really not to blame the safe house built by Black Star for not being strong enough, after all, this is the core area of the meteorite, and the impact is the most violent, and the relative impact is also the greatest. It was covered with a layer of yellow sand and a layer of solid alloy plates, and in the safe house was supported by a layer of anti-sand cloth, even so, the strong impact force almost collapsed this safe house, if it were not for the special layer of alloy plates that weakened most of the impact force, I am afraid that this safe house would have been crushed.

Lin Ping was even more shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the situation faced by the star chaser to be so dangerous and bad, and he lowered his head and looked out from the small hole.

A huge fireball fell from the sky and exploded not far from the safe house, countless small pieces of debris burning and flying in all directions, extremely fast. Closer to that side is the Black Star's safe house, from here you can see the side of their entrance, a small meteorite just flew towards that side, only two meters away from the entrance and shot into the sand dunes next to it, as soon as it pierced through the bottom instantly, the quicksand above flowed down and buried the deep pit.

Luckily, it's a bit far from the entrance, and if that gravel goes straight into the safe house, I'm afraid the Black Star people will die here.

Immediately after the "boom" sound continued, from the small hole to see a red scene, countless meteor meteorites fell from the sky, fire and rain raging, sand and stones like a sky full of rain stirred up a wave of sand, one after another to the surrounding waves dispersed, the entrance of several nearby safe houses was almost buried under the yellow sand, and there were fewer and fewer places to see.

"Five pieces, there should be more." When the meteor landed, Zhang Xu kept counting the number of times the impact sound of the landing in his heart, took the walkie-talkie, and asked, "Liu Yan, how is the situation now?" ”

The noise on the walkie-talkie was very heavy, and Liu Yan's voice was also intermittently not very clear: "This wave of five fell is not very big, and there are a few more in the back that are coming this way, I am calculating the position." ”

After waiting for a few minutes, the walkie-talkie sounded again: "Brother Xu, be careful, there is a broken star about three meters near you, if the wind speed is too strong, it is very likely to fall on your heads, you quickly dig down and put on a helmet and protective clothing." ”

Liu Yan's voice was whispering, and he could also hear a general meaning.

Zhang Xu immediately took the backpack at his feet and took out a set of green and thickened clothes from it, which looked somewhat similar to a space suit, but not so bulky and thick, and a dark black helmet covered with a layer of metal.

"Lin Ping, put on protective clothing and helmets, we are going to dig a pit to avoid the flowstone."

Lin Ping's equipment Zhang Xu had already prepared for him, and when he entered the safe house, two large bags were full of equipment for this operation.

After putting on protective clothing and helmets, the two immediately took out a folding shovel, lifted the anti-sand cloth under them and began to dig a hole.

"Dig diagonally, so you can have an extra layer of buffer." Zhang Xu reminded.

"Boss, be careful." The intercom heard the concerned voices of the rest of the Star Club.

"When Liu Bian reports, if there are many meteors here, I may lose contact, Liu Bian judged that the meteor shower fell intermittently, and arranged for them to act." Zhang Xu arranged actions for the team members while digging a pit.

"Knock"

There was another loud bang, a meteor fell nearby again, the entire safe house was trembling, and the sand dunes above sank a few more points, Zhang Xu and Lin Ping's bodies shook at the same time, and quickly piled the dug yellow sand on top of the anti-sand cloth, so as to counteract the powerful impact of the meteorite that might fall on their heads in the future.

Time passed minute by minute, Zhang Xu and Lin Ping were covered in sweat, their bodies were covered with sweaty yellow sand, the movements on their hands did not stop, and they continued to dig deeper, no one knew how big the impact of this meteor could be. If they don't dig deep enough, even if they are not killed by meteors, the powerful impact will squeeze them to death through the yellow sand, or drown them and suffocate them.

After twenty minutes, half of the calculated and approved meteor shower fall time had passed, and it would not be long before the people of the Peripheral Star Club could act, but the meteor that Liu Yan had said before that was very likely to land on their heads did not fall for a long time, and the walkie-talkie became a waste at this time, and no sound could be heard at all.

Lin Ping and Zhang Xu wore protective clothing and helmets, hunched their waists and lay in the inclined pit, put a thick anti-sand cloth on their bodies, and folded the surroundings to prevent the two of them from suffocating due to the collapse of the sand dunes and the influx of quicksand.

Waiting is the most painful thing, especially at times like these. Small spaces can always be unsettling, especially when you know that a meteor is about to fall overhead, which is as uncomfortable as waiting for death.
