Chapter Thirty-Eight: Chasing the Wind

Although not as bright as the stars, when the ionized photons in the sky shine on the vast earth, the surface of the entire planet is like a room with warm lights on, and it is abnormally gentle.

Except for the occasional sandstorm that sweeps across the planet's surface.

The wave-like yellow sand, wrapped in fragments of various small stones and weathered rocks, slowly moved forward.

Behind the wall of sand, a faint sand mark hung not far from the sandstorm that was rolling away.

Of course, this is a scene from the orbit of a near star, and if you get close to the distance of 100 meters, you will find that the storm that seems to be moving slowly has actually advanced at a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour.

The sand marks hanging behind are actually the trails pulled out by a powered suspension motorcycle towing a cargo anti-gravity trailer on the surface of the yellow sand.

"46 degrees 23 minutes north latitude, 118 degrees 19 minutes east longitude, and the speed of the vehicle is 380 kilometers per hour.

According to the current course and speed, it will take about 20 hours a day to drive and about 23 days before you can get back to the starting point."

The navigation system in automatic mode feeds back information from the hoverbike's steering panel.

It's been twenty-one days since she left the camp, and the first few days of the trip have been a nightmare for Nataya.

When the sandstorm came, the girl had to stop the car and temporarily fix herself and her supplies to the ground using the simple windproof hoarding contained in the cargo trailer.

It took about half a day to wait for the sandstorm to pass before digging up the sand covering the windbreak and supplies and continuing the journey.

It took eight days for Nataya to find a way to dodge these sandstorms.

The girl found that these sandstorms usually have a short period of calm after they have just passed.

At this time, if you chase after the previous sandstorm that has just been blown away, although there is still a little misty wind and dust, there will definitely not be a second large sandstorm that will sweep you in.

So, from the ninth day, Nataya chased the sandstorm in front of her all the way to today, and sure enough, she never encountered the embarrassment and danger of being swept up in the overwhelming sand.

Then, this lone hoverbike, dragging a cart of unhurried automatic driving, followed the sandstorm to explore.

In addition to loess or loess on this road, the sky is always the same ionizing light, and Nataya, who walked continuously for twenty-one days, even questioned herself about this trip.

"It's been so far, why does it always feel a little strange...

Hovercars in automatic mode don't have to worry about anything, especially on this strange planet.

Although there is no flat standard lane, not even a large stone has been seen on the road for more than 20 days, and such conditions of action are something that Nataya did not expect at all when she set off.

It's just that after more than twenty days, a more and more strange feeling haunts Nataya's heart, she always feels that something is not right, but she doesn't understand it.

"Alarm, alarm, about a hundred kilometers ahead, a strong air flow has been searched, suspected of a large sandstorm!"

Just as the lingering strange feeling in Nataya's mind grew worse, the sound of an alarm from the hoverbike control system interrupted her thoughts.

"Calculate the degree of impact and choose the best environment to avoid it"

Before Nataya could finish speaking, the control system answered.

"Report to motorists, the oncoming storm will dissipate about seventy kilometers away from you, avoid it by avoiding it until the oncoming sandstorm has dissipated"

After listening to the calculation results of the system, Nataya immediately had the bottom in her heart.

She had always felt strange that the sandstorms that had been scraped over her body and the sandstorms she had tracked had all been scraped from west to east during these days.

During the first ten days, she was surprised to find that the storms had relatively regular intervals, even at the time of their occurrence.

It was also the first time she knew that there was even an opposing storm!

"There it is! They've met! “
