Chapter Eighty-Eight: Desperate Survival
Everyone raised their eyes and looked around, a few kilometers away, a circle of thousands of meters of sand wall, like a tide to this side, in the sand wall that covered the sky and the sun, thunder flashed, thousands of meters of lightning collided fiercely in the clouds, bursting out bright purple light.

No wonder the place where they stood was so calm, and their position was in the middle of itβin the eye of a great storm.
If you look at it from space, there is a magnificent scene above Lop Nur at this time - a perfect ultimate storm, an unprecedented natural ecological disaster.
At this time, the rumbling sound of the ground was getting louder and louder, and the shaking of the earth was even stronger.
Lao Wang next door shouted in a trembling voice, "Lao Li, what are you doing underground?" How did you make such a big move? β
With no way out in all directions, the crowd began to despair.
Ziyang didn't say anything, his eyes shuttled through the sand wall as hard as he could, and the countdown was only more than 40 minutes away.
Arclight is also a "good intention", displaying this countdown clock on his retina - at the moment, he is using the last energy of the spacecraft to manipulate the core fusion. Ziyang thought.
In 40 minutes, it is almost impossible to run dozens of kilometers away, not to mention the impenetrable magnetic storm clouds around this encirclement. The center point of the magnetic storm cloud was the cave they were in, and Ziyang knew that as long as the sand wall was closed, the quantum collapse would really begin.
At this time, the sand wall had moved several kilometers forward, and its volume had increased several times, and it looked like it was tens of thousands of meters, covering the sky and the sun and combining with the clouds.
The clouds shone with lightning and crackled bright purple lightning, and from a distance, a faint red light shone from the inside of the sand wall, as if the whole sky was about to burn. Everyone was stunned.
"Give me a chance, give me a chance......" Ziyang thought silently in his heart, looking far away, trying to find a way to survive in the storm.
Arclight, it seems, heard his call. Ziyang seemed to see a gap in the gauze wall.
"Run!" Without hesitation, Ziyang rushed towards the "gap", and Xiao Hei was holding Alexander's other arm beside him. The two of them took the lead.
Lao Wang, Su Rui, Timur and others don't know why, but it's always right to run along, and they also threw off their arms and ran wildly at the moment.
I don't know how long they ran, but they were already close to the sand wall, and the slaughter around them made them unable to stand on their feet, unable to open their eyes, visibility was almost reduced to zero, and a huge magnetic storm sound crackled in the cloud (sand) layer above.
Ziyang is getting more and more desperate, the numbers are still beating wildly, there are only more than twenty minutes left, they are still surrounded by the sand wall, they can't stand on their feet at this time, and it is difficult to take a step forward. From entering the waterhole to the present, Ziyang has been in a state of high tension, her physical strength has almost been exhausted, and she is holding on completely with the belief in her heart. At this moment, the last glimmer of hope of escape was gone, and he finally couldn't support it anymore, so he knelt on the ground with a puff, and drooped down weakly.
"Arc Light finally gave up on us," Ziyang sighed in his heart, "That's it, 800,000 years of civilization, let's annihilate together." β
Su Rui hugged Ziyang's body and tears flowed, and everyone was like a camel in a storm, crouching together and surrounding there, not feeling good in their hearts.
Suddenly, the old king next door said in one direction in the wind and sand: "Listen, what is the sound?" β
The people listened attentively, and their ears were filled with the sound of howling wind and thunderβand so on, and there seemed to be other sounds.
In the distance, there was a sudden roar of helicopter propellers, and everyone looked at the wind and sand, only to see a huge helicopter appear in the air.
Lao Wang took off his clothes and danced wildly at the helicopter, "Here, here, here, where the fuck are you flying!" β
The helicopter finally saw them, and tried to fly to a place dozens of meters away from them and stopped, a familiar figure appeared in the belly of the plane, and the dashing brother appeared at the hatch with a surprised face, skillfully brushed his hair, and waved to everyone in high spirits.
Timur reacted the fastest, and ran to the helicopter without saying a word, Su Rui carried Ziyang's body and choked up, "Let's go, let's go home." β
Su Rui and Xiao Hei hugged Ziyang, Lao Wang carried Alexander, and as soon as everyone got into the helicopter, Su Rui immediately put on headphones and said anxiously to the pilot: "Hurry up and fly out of this area!" It's almost ......."
As the pilot started the helicopter, he looked back and said, "Yes, the intelligence services reported that this is the largest storm in Lop Nur on record." Look! β
When everyone looked back, they found that the sky had been obscured by the sand and dust behind them, and it turned out that they had run to the edge of the sandstorm after a wild run just now. The difference is that the magnetic storm and purple clouds they see in the inner circle are not visible in the outer layer, just yellow sand flying in the sky.
"It's also lucky that we can find you, we have already given up the search and rescue, and there are people who must insist on continuing the search and rescue."
Su Rui looked at Brother Chic gratefully, "It's you ......" Only then did he find that Brother Chic didn't have headphones, and in the roar of the plane, the other party couldn't hear what she said at all.
The plane flew out at a breakneck speed, and Ziyang leaned against the window, watching the huge sandstorm gradually expand. The deadly timer in front of me kept flashing, and it was only two minutes away.
54 seconds, 53 seconds, 52 seconds......
The storm circle had closed, and there were faint bursts of white light in the center, and the sand wall had suddenly risen several thousand meters. From a distance, the storm circle seemed to form a massive sphere, struggling to bind something in the center.

The sand wall became thicker and heavier, and the wild sand that had been flying in the air began to become stagnant. It seemed that even time was starting to slow down, and a strange feeling floated in Ziyang's heart.
5γ4γ3γ2γ1β¦β¦
For a split second, the sandstorm seemed to stand still. Suddenly, a bright light bloomed from the center of the storm, and it was fleeting, and almost at the same time, the storm suddenly expanded several times, and then contracted sharply inward.
Zi Yang looked at everyone in the cabin in surprise, the pilot was looking at the instrument intently, the others were resting tiredly, everyone was exhausted, and it seemed that no one except him saw this magnificent scene.
The clock on the retina zeros and then disappears.
It's all over, Ziyang sighed secretly, it gave us a way to live after all.
At this moment, the driver suddenly shouted, "Not good, Shockwave." β
The helicopter seemed to have been hit by a strong force on the fuselage, sideways to the side for dozens of meters, in the sound of metal creaking, the body was violently deformed, the instrument failed and let out a piercing scream, the power disappeared almost instantly, and the huge helicopter fell headlong to the ground.
Everyone rolled in the cabin, and at the same time as the cabin was hit, Ziyang felt a heavy blow to his temple and immediately lost consciousness.
The helicopter slammed into the ground, stirring up sand tens of meters high, the huge propeller still rotating with inertia, and the blades smashed on the ground.
