Chapter 468: The Sandstorm is Coming
For example, people who live around Mouse City will most likely think that Mouse City is the most powerful, while those who live near Vulture Castle will think that Vulture Castle is the most powerful force in the Lawless Lands.
It depends on which forces the respondent has the most contact with on a daily basis, and more contact means more understanding, and the more you know, the more you understand why these forces can dominate outside the law.
The land outside the law is a very large place, and the communication information here is not too circulating, and everyone's daily contact is always the acre and three points of land around them, so everyone is more or less a little bit of sitting in the well and watching the sky.
But if you change the question, "What is the most terrible thing in the outlawlands", the answer to this question will tend to be completely unified, because whether it is the people of the Rat City, or the people of the Vulture Castle, or the Wolf's Den and other forces, everyone has only one answer to the question:
"In a place outside the law, the most terrifying thing is always a sandstorm."
The harsh natural environment makes it rare to see green in the lawless places, and once the wind blows, it will form a sandstorm that obscures the sky and the sun, also known as a dust storm or sandstorm, depending on what is blown up by the wind.
On the night when Turtledove and Worm first met, he had the opportunity to escape in other directions, but after living in an outlaw place for so many years, Turtledove could tell that a sandstorm was forming in another direction just by a trace of trade winds before the wind rose, and he was forced to plunge into the ruins of a city that had been used as a lair by countless humanoid monsters when night was about to fall.
However, it should be the bad luck of the turtledove, he risked being dismantled by the humanoid monsters to hide in the ruins of the city, and finally failed to escape the sandstorm, in the second half of the night, he and the worm were forced to escape from the hiding place by several humanoid monsters, and at the same time, the convoy led by Jacob to capture the worm also heard the movement and turned back again, and the situation was extremely chaotic, and the sandstorm finally came.
In retrospect, Ikaruga still haunts the sandstorm that could blow itself into the sky, but luckily he found a makeshift shelter from the collapsed wall.
Turtledove had also learned that the convoy in the Wolf's Den had suffered heavy losses that night, first by a large group of humanoid monsters, and then by a sandstorm of that magnitude, and the vice-captain who was Jacob's deputy was also separated from his men in the sandstorm.
The unlucky lieutenant was the one who was killed by the worm, and the people in the wolf's den still think that he disappeared in the sandstorm, but they don't know that the unlucky guy has died under the worm's gun.
Therefore, the point is always how terrifying the sandstorm is, not that the turtledove suddenly wants to recall the past, but that he smells an inexplicable unease in the air like last time.
……
This is the real junction of the lawless land and the barren land, the turtledove is equivalent to half a foot on the barren land, it is at this time, the turtledove driving in the northwest direction through the rearview mirror, noticed due east in the extreme distance, it seems that there is a sandstorm is gradually forming.
At first, the turtledove thought that the people of the vulture castle were about to catch up, and the wind and sand were all lifted by the wheels of the convoy, but after careful observation, the turtledove found that the location of the vulture castle convoy was still in the southeast direction, and the distance between them and his side was not much closer.
After all, the turtledoves didn't even rest for a moment halfway, and the three of them sat in the driver's seat in turns, how could the convoy of the vulture castle catch up so quickly.
Now it was the turtledove's turn to drive, and he snapped his fingers at the little worm next to him, and asked her to come and take the steering wheel for him, and when the little worm took over the steering wheel, the turtledove poked half of his body out of the car window and looked into the distance.
"What's wrong?"
Schultz, who was sitting in the back seat of the cab, had only recently stepped out of the driver's seat, and he was closing his eyes here, thinking about resting and eating and drinking some water, and waiting until he had regained his mental and physical strength, so that he could cope with the first night in the middle of nowhere.
Seeing that the turtledove was acting strangely, Schultz couldn't help but ask him what was wrong.
"It's winding in the east," Ikaruga said, returning to the driver's seat and regaining control of the wheel, the worry on his face palpable, "and the wind may be coming in our direction." ”
As soon as he heard this, the little insect hurriedly stretched out his head and looked due east from the window on the other side, and there were indeed signs of a sandstorm at the farthest point of the vast desert, where the sky meets the horizon.
The time is still at dusk, the crumbling sunset has not completely sunk below the horizon, through this gradually faint sunlight, the worm saw that the other end of the horizon should be the direction of the moon rising, this time it is already dusk, looking from a distance, there are faint lightning and thunder mixed with it.
"It's going to be windy," Worm sat back in the passenger seat, his expression a little uneasy, "Ikaruga is right, the storm is moving towards us, if it can't be...... I think we'd better adjust the direction we're heading or we're going to collide with a sandstorm. ”
At present, the turtledoves are heading northwest, the convoy of vulture castles is close behind, and the sandstorm that formed in the east is also moving from southeast to northwest, and it is extremely fast moving, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the modified pickup truck will encounter it.
Who doesn't know the horrors of a sandstorm, and in the face of such a natural disaster, even if Rebecca or Galahad are here, it's okay to say that they can protect themselves in a sandstorm, but to say that they can do something about a sandstorm is a bit funny.
No one can stop the sandstorm from moving forward.
So generally speaking, after determining the direction of the sandstorm, the best way is to choose to bypass, because the sandstorm comes and goes quickly, as long as it is not deliberately looking for death, normal people will not do anything to compete with the sandstorm, unless the brain is broken.
Although these people on the modified pickup truck are not bad, they have been forced to go all the way by the convoy of the vulture castle behind them, and they will be caught up if they delay a little, and who is Rebecca or Morrow's opponent at that time, of course, no one will be.
Now turning around is equivalent to a dead end, and there is still a way to survive if you continue to move forward to break through the sandstorm, so the three people in the cab quickly agreed on the same opinion, - there is no way, only to break through the sandstorm.
