Chapter 29: Zhou Du, are you free next week?
The heavens and the earth are yellow.
The front line of the oncoming "sand wall" is lined up, like thousands of horses galloping forward, vigorously.
The sand covered the sky, and everything as far as the eye could see was gray and yellow.
The originally bright sky turned gray and darkened at a rate visible to the naked eye.
There seems to be a hundred ghosts hidden in the "sand wall", pushing sideways.
Zhou Du clenched the steering wheel in his hand and plunged headlong into the gray "sand wall".
The entire body suddenly encountered great resistance, the front of the car seemed to hit a real wall, and the car that had been driving at top speed suddenly slowed down.
The glass windows were hit by countless sands, and the high-decibel noise made Zhou Du almost unable to hear the voice of the candle dragon behind him.
The chassis was unstable, and the front of the car almost floated.
Zhou Du gritted his teeth and quickly turned the steering wheel with his previous impression of the landscape ahead before the darkness.
The buggy soon came to the back of a giant sand dune, and although it had to be detoured, it was the safest way to do it right now.
Roar β
The car body was constantly shaking, and the wind was like an invisible condensed hand, constantly trying to overturn them.
The candle dragon in the back seat was thrown all over the head by a series of snakeskin moves.
"Can you drive a little more steadily?"
The candle dragon has been in the sky and into the sea for 10,000 years, flipping freely in the clouds, but for the first time I felt what it was like to be dizzy and want to vomit.
Zhou Du tensed his body and held on for a long time, but I don't know how long it took, the sandstorm was gone, and the whole gloomy world slowly returned to light.
The glass windows were covered in scratches.
The candle dragon reached out from the back seat and slapped a paw on Zhou Du's shoulder.
"Stop, open the door."
As soon as the door was opened, the candle dragon jumped out and vomited profusely.
Zhou Du, who got out of the car, only glanced at it, then turned around and walked around to the back of the car.
Weak.
The body of the candle dragon is too weak.
Waiting for the candle dragon to spit out, Zhou Du tried to judge how far away he was from that seal.
If he's not mistaken, he'll be at his destination tomorrow at the latest.
Zhou Du took out spare gasoline from the trunk and refilled the car. I checked it all and determined that there was no problem other than numerous scratches.
It's just that the engine needs a period of cooling.
Thanks to this sandstorm, it comes and goes quickly.
Otherwise, Zhoudu's limited geomorphological memory will not be enough.
The desert looks like nothing more than undulating sand dunes, but in fact the terrain is very complex. Big pits, cliffs, and all kinds of imaginable off-road terrain are available.
Before coming, the person from City A who rented a car kindly reminded him that if he went into the desert, he must first observe the terrain at a low speed, especially the shape of the sand dunes. They are not all round, and if you are not careful, the injury is small, and the delay is big.
When the candle dragon came back after vomiting, Zhou Du had already set up his tent and took out food bags and sleeping bags.
As the sun set, the sand dunes they were on had nothing but small lizards and spiders.
Zhou Du took out the self-heating hot pot, opened the box, and fifteen minutes later, the hot pot with hot air and aroma appeared in front of him.
He took a can of Coke out of the cat's cage, sat down on a folding chair, and began to enjoy dinner.
"I've heard that a lot of people come to this kind of place with only dry food. Biscuits, bread or something. That's boring. β
Zhou Du took a sip of soup and let out a long sigh.
Candle Dragon also wanted to eat it, but was rejected by Zhou Du.
"Your body can't stand this high-salt food. Eat your cat canned food honestly. β
"Even if my candle dragon starves to death today and is swept away by a sandstorm, I won't eat this kind of canned food for cats!"
Zhou Du ignored its sudden agitation, took out a cat can, opened it, and pushed it in front of it.
"Love to eat or not."
The candle dragon made a vomiting motion, raised his chin with a backbone, and disdained the cat cans in front of him.
Just kidding, it's a shame that it has been reduced to the point where it can't even eat human food, and can only eat canned cat food!
Zhou Dusan finished the hot pot in two bites.
Packing up the garbage, he lay on his back on the sand and looked at the red sky.
"It's still Zhao Sheng's food delicious."
He took out his mobile phone and was surprised to find that many people were looking for him.
Meng Nu, Old Man, Zhao Sheng, Sui Han, Envy......
One by one, he clicked on them and replied to the past.
Meng Nu learned about the loosening of the seal from the old man, and like the old man, she also came to see if he was dead.
Zhou Du chuckled.
[Victory is ahead, and it is safe for the time being. γ
The news that Zhao Sheng's father had a new business and needed an Arabic translator next week, and he came to ask what he was doing recently and whether he had time to take the order.
Zhou Du didn't know if he could solve it within a week.
[In the past two days, something has not been in H City. You tell your uncle to let me think about it for two days. If I solve it successfully, I will definitely rush back to take the order. γ
Zhao's father was generous, and Zhou Du had no reason to give up the money to others.
Zhao Sheng quickly sent another voice message. Since he started vocal cord recovery training, he can speak without typing.
Pressing the hands-free play, Zhao Sheng's voice came out.
[Okay.] You, if you go out alone, when you're away, everything, be careful. γ
Open Sui Han's message.
[I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you doing? γ
Zhou Du looked at the psychedelic sky, took a photo and sent it over.
[Where is this?] γ
Sui Han quickly replied to the message.
[City A in Province N, I just survived a sandstorm and spent the night in the desert tonight. I have to say, the sky in this desert is really beautiful when it is dark. You can bring your family to visit here in the future. γ
Sui Han: [Don't tease. Why did you have nothing to do with running into the desert, treasure hunting? γ
[You found out, in fact, I am a master of tomb robbers, and the treasures buried under the desert will belong to me. γ
Zhou Du replied nonsensically, clicking on the envious news.
When will you come back? I'm still a little scared by myself. γ
Zhou Du held his mobile phone and didn't know how to reply for a while.
Sui Han replied to the message again.
[I'm not poor with you, that's the case, a senior in the translation industry approached me, hoping to invite you to a party. It's full of translation bigwigs. γ
γWhen?γ γ
γNext weekend.γ γ
It's next week again.
To be honest, Zhou Du doesn't even know if he will be alive tomorrow now.
[You help me drag him for two days, and then I will give you a definite answer.] γ
[OK.] γ
Sui Han made Zhou Du very relieved in this regard.
Even though he knew and guessed a lot, he never asked more.
Zhou Du switched the page back to the envy interface, thought about it, and pressed the video call.
Soon, envious faces appeared on the phone screen.
"Wow, Zhou Du, are you in the desert now? It's a beautiful day, isn't it? β
Zhou Du was just about to speak, and when he saw Envy behind him, his eyes shrank fiercely.
