Chapter 14: Sandstorms

Everyone drove in the direction of Liang Miaomiao to the depths of the desert, and after four and a half days of driving, Liang Miaomiao stopped.

The remnant soul circled on her hand, as if disoriented: "Strange, the corpse should be around here, how can it not be sensed?" ”

Brother Guo said: "The sand dunes in the desert are moving, and the corpses you are looking for may be covered by hiding in a certain sand dune."

Liang Miaomiao circled around the neighborhood a few times and planned a range in her heart, and said, "Things may be around here, let's dig them." ”

Everyone took out their tools and dug into the yellow sand. Several animal or human bones were exhumed, but none of them were what they were looking for. Liang Miaomiao was originally a robot that needed a light source, and the sunlight in the desert was simply her welfare, although her movements were very slow, she didn't need to rest at all to work.

For the rest of the people, it was much more painful. They sweat a lot of sweat when they do intense physical labor in the heat, and the strong sun scorches their skin, making them dehydrated. But none of them dared to take an extra sip of water. Because if there is not enough water on the way back, they will most likely become a pile of bones in the desert.

After digging for a week, they didn't finish even the smallest dune. The youngest Ah Fu couldn't hold his breath, he threw the shovel away, and said, "The corpse we want can't be here at all!" When he fled into the desert, he didn't have enough water or food, only a pair of legs! It took us more than four days to drive here, how could he have traveled that far! ”

Pingping said, "We should start along the edge of the desert so that we have a good chance of success." ”

In this difficult environment, after many days of boring and high-consumption work, everyone began to get bored. Tang Hao felt that the work efficiency would be greatly reduced in this case, so he had to say: "I don't see much food and water, let's make plans after returning to the city." ”

"Okay." Liang Miaomiao agreed with Tang Hao's idea and decided to find more people to dig after returning to the city.

After Brother Kang recorded the geographical location they explored on the map, everyone packed their things and got into the car. The two cars were speeding one after the other, and it had only been long before the sky outside had sunk.

"Is it going to rain?" Liang Miaomiao asked.

Everyone's faces were darker than the sky outside: "It's a sandstorm!" ”

Brother Hu drove the car with a solemn face and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, but the speed of the sandstorm was too fast, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.

"Can't escape! It's sheltered from the wind, so let's take shelter here! Hu turned off the engine and waited for the storm to pass.

In the distance, the trembling yellow line rolled over, mixed with a crying whimper. Liang Miaomiao saw the sandstorm for the first time, and felt that this was even more terrifying than the scene seen in the TV series!

The flying sand covered the sky and the earth, and even the sun seemed to be struggling, covering it with sand and dust for a while, and squeezing the sunlight in again, and on the gray sky, there was a bright spot that swirled in and out, making people feel as if the end of the world was coming.

Stones the size of soybeans pounded desperately on the car, and the momentum of great destruction. The stone crackled non-stop, although through the glass window, Liang Miaomiao still had the illusion that she was about to be hit by a stone.

She squeezed into the middle and asked, "What if this window cracks......

Kang Ge said: "This car was given by the government and has been transformed. Not to mention these small stones, even bullets can't get in. As long as our cars are not buried in sand. ”

"It's scary...... After doing this order, I will never take on such a dangerous job again, my life is hard-won......" Liang Miaomiao's trembling voice obviously swore how scared she was.

Tang Hao saw that Liang Miaomiao was really scared, so he put his coat on her head: "Put this on your head, my coat is very hard, in fact, it is made of special materials, even if you wear it, even a sharp knife can't penetrate the skin." ”

Covered by clothes, maybe she couldn't see the stones outside, Liang Miaomiao really felt no longer so afraid, she whispered: "Thank you, how did you come up with this idea." ”

"No thanks. I see ostriches burying their heads in the sand when they are in danger. But it doesn't work......"

"Uh......" Is this a satire on her cowardice and stupidity?

After staying for a while, the wind and sand slowly converged, and Pingping couldn't help but praise it: "It seems that the danger has passed, thanks to the good location chosen by Brother Hu!" ”

Brother Hu smiled happily and did not speak.

The wind finally stopped, and the car was buried in some sand, and they could not open the door and had to climb out of the sunroof. Several people took out shovels to dig up the sand, and because they had been digging the sand for many days, everyone was very experienced, and they dug out the car at once.

Tang Hao suddenly shouted: "Look what that is!" ”

Everyone looked back, after the storm, the surrounding terrain had changed, and a row of broken walls and ruins appeared behind them!

Brother Qiang looked at the map and then looked at the navigation in his hand and said, "It's really an eye-opener!" The location of that ruin is the sand dune we didn't finish digging! ”

"Even God is helping us!" Everyone was excited, and they were impatient to drive over again.

I don't know why, Liang Miaomiao always had an ominous premonition in her heart, and the closer she got to the ruins, the indescribable feeling of panic flooded up. She didn't see anything terrible, but the boundless fear seeped into her skin, almost to the bone.

"Stop!" She couldn't help but scream.

"What's wrong?" Brother Hu stepped on the brakes, but did not turn off the ignition. The car behind also stopped, stepped forward and asked, "Did you find something?" ”

She was still convinced that the body was there, but she began to retreat: "I feel very dangerous, or let's go back." ”

Tang Hao took the telescope and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "At such a close distance, I can even see every grain of sand clearly, it's just some ruins, nothing." ”

"Don't you think it's strange that there are so many more buildings in a place like the desert where birds don't?"

"Maybe there used to be an oasis here, but then when the water dried up, they moved somewhere else. Or maybe a sandstorm is slowly pushing a building somewhere. ”

"I always feel like there's a problem, we don't have enough food and water, so let's be ready for it next time."

Ah Fu said: "As long as we save a little, we can still hold out for a while." If you come back again, it's a good trouble! ”

Liang Miaomiao insisted on going back, and Pingping looked at her with some doubts and said, "Have you sensed where the corpse is, so you tricked us into going back first, so that you can come over and take the credit yourself?" ”

As soon as Pingping said this, the atmosphere suddenly became dull, and everyone looked at Liang Miaomiao with a questioning look, after all, she suddenly became too abnormal.

Liang Miaomiao didn't expect Pingping to think like this, and was stunned for a moment and returned: "My body is quite special, maybe there is some strange magnetic field over there that will hurt me, or you go over to look for it, I'm waiting for you here?" ”

Brother Hu said: "What if you drive my car away?" ”

"I can't drive!" Liang Miaomiao explained.

Brother Guo's face instantly pulled down: "There is our equipment and food in the car, if you drive the car away, we will die here ......"

The team, which was not united in the first place, was now even more torn apart, scattered like sand on the ground.

Tang Hao said to Liang Miaomiao: "The desert is very dangerous, and it is easy to get lost, it is more dangerous for you to be alone than to stay in a group of people." We are now a team and we need to trust each other. If something does happen later, I swear I'll protect you with my life! ”

Ah Fu and Brother Kang also said: "Sir, let's keep you safe!" As long as we have a breath of air, we won't let you get hurt in any way! ”

The words have already been said to this extent, and Liang Miaomiao will be a little hypocritical if she doesn't go again.
