The wind was still loud outside, and I could clearly hear the trivial sound of tiny particles hitting the iron plate. It's really not when this sandstorm will stop.

Chen Zaihai and the four engineers hadn't woken up yet, I found water and compressed dry food from the recycled things, and there was no way to eat, Talia and I fed them water one by one, and they all had some slight dehydration reactions.

"There's no danger, it's just hypothermia ahead." Talia whispered. "It's just that I don't know why they passed out, is it so cold outside?"

"You know it once you go, it's just like the Badain Jaran Desert, I doubt my eyes." I said, eating dry food.

People who only eat these things can't hold it, and finally I found out from the pile of things, Chen Zaihai used a marching pot in the hot springs last time, poured fresh water and boiled it on a bonfire. It didn't take long for the water to boil, and I found the dehydrated vegetables and the dried grilled fish under me, poured them all into it, and cooked it for a while to fill the aroma.

Thinking that Chen Zaihai and they would be very hungry when they woke up, I deliberately boiled a big pot. And Talia ate it with a mouthful of compressed dry food.

As I ate, I began to think crankily. It was all sand outside, and the wind was blowing so strongly, I couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south. If I didn't have a reference, I wouldn't be able to find the goal for the rest of my life, even if it was close in front of me. I can't figure out where this place is, is it really possible that there is such a huge desert underground? This train won't unknowingly take us to some unknown place, right?

And this strange sandstorm, it's so unreasonable. How could this phenomenon happen underground, I really couldn't think of a reason for it, and finally I simply didn't want to.

In fact, it's not like I've never seen a sandstorm, this thing is overwhelming as soon as it is scraped, and burying something is a matter of an instant. Just now, I was worried about whether the train would also be buried, and finally I was sure that I was too careful. We fell from somewhere, either a cliff or a cliff where it is impossible to be buried, and this is a natural haven in itself.

No matter what, this sandstorm will not be so big that it will fill this place in its entirety, and the sandstorm on the ground will dissipate after a while, and I think this place should be no exception. The conditions for the formation of intense air convection are harsh, let alone underground without sunlight. It is absolutely impossible to produce any long-term extreme weather phenomena like on the ground.

At least that's what I think, even if I'm not a dedicated geological team, I still have the most basic knowledge. After all, we were ordered to complete the mission with them, and volcanic activity was very episodic and short-lived. There are few records of sustained volcanic activity in China for a long time.

The cause of convection here is nothing more than geothermal heat, and the hot springs and hot water steam have long proven that this is a volcanic area. As long as we wait here for a while, the outside will naturally calm down.

To prevent the sand from pouring in further, Talia and I collected a lot of parts that had fallen off from the impact, plus our own backpacks and stuff, and the entrance to the cab was roughly blocked. Although the effect is not very obvious, it is better than nothing, and it is a psychological comfort.

The electricity was all gone, and we had to use the coal for lighting and heating. The consumption of the battery must be controlled, we simply don't know how long we have to wait here, it is a very hazy concept that it does not last long, an hour is not long, a week is not a week, it depends on what it is compared to.

We need to be optimistic and prepared for the worst-case scenario, so that we can have a chance of survival.

Talia was sorting out the equipment that Chen Zaihai had brought back, many of which were precision instruments, and now they were a mess mixed with sand. She had a headache with these things, and some of the sand had penetrated so deep that she had to completely disassemble the device to blow it out.

This is a technical task, and it is very draining, and the constantly shaking charcoal fire can also increase people's visual fatigue. She hadn't cleaned up a few of them for so long, and after confirming that Chen Zaihai and they didn't move, I went over to help her clean up together. I was about to clean it up after taking out an object, when I suddenly realized that it was a barometer, which was used on the surface.

I snorted and threw it back, it was useless, the air pressure in the ground was not measured by something of this size, and now it had long since been damaged by exceeding the standard.

Things like hygrometers need to be well maintained, and they might still work without sand. The compass is completely useless, and now I don't even know if it's broken.

Thanks to the fact that electronic devices were far from widespread at that time, most of us relied on mechanical or pressure structure instruments. In addition to the compass and radio, the influence of geomagnetism does not fight on us. If this chaotic electromagnetic interference were now, it would definitely kill the entire team. Even so, the work was so great that disassembling the complex structures took up almost most of our attention, so much so that we didn't even notice the movement behind us

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind.

I was directly startled, and Talia on the side reflexively pulled out her gun and pointed it back, and I immediately wanted to get the gun after I reacted.

"Wait! What are you doing? It's me! "My finger almost pressed the trigger and stopped.

It turned out that Chen Zaihai didn't know when he woke up, and this kid touched it so quietly without saying anything. I held down Talia's pistol, and she almost went off just like I did.

"You still ask us! Don't say a word when you wake up. I said exasperatedly.

"Do you think I didn't call you? I don't know what the two of you are doing so attentively, no matter how I call it, I can't respond. He shrugged.

"Then you don't have to, do you? It's scared to death," Talia said, with a sigh of relief.

"What then? Hit you with a piece of carbon? ”

Maybe it's really because we are too focused and completely unaware of Chen Zaihai's existence. He said he was woken up hungry and felt like he hadn't eaten in a long time. I thought to myself if you were awakened by hunger, or by the smell of our dry food. When he knew what we were doing, he lost all interest and ran to the campfire to find something to eat.

"Don't eat alone! Help us do something after eating, and take care of that engineer if he wakes up. "Talia is back to work.

"And what happened to you before, you can tell us when we are free. Why did you kid just run outside? I then said Taria.

"Good, good! You are all landlords, I am a serf, and I will do whatever you say. Hum! The proletariat will one day turn over and become its master. Chen Zaihai took these Czechs and dismantled them all while eating. It seems that he wants to clean the sand from the gun, which is a good job for him.

We worked like this for a long time, and in the process, the four engineers woke up one after another. Chen Zaihai took responsibility and explained the situation to them little by little. Then they also joined in the work of sorting out weapons and equipment, and with their help, Chen Zaihai's progress was very fast.

After he was done, he had nothing to do, so he was called by us to come over and sort out the professional instruments together. That's when he had a chance to tell us what had happened to him

In fact, he realized the fact that the railroad tracks were broken before we did. He also took the brakes very quickly, but he found that it was still a little late. We eventually derailed and rushed out, and the frenzied upheaval almost killed him, and if it weren't for the three-guard suit on his body, he would have broken his head and bled out.

Locomotives are usually equipped with a viewing window that allows the driver to see the surroundings clearly, and Chen Zaihai has one on the other side. Compared to us, he witnessed the whole process of the train falling

He said that under the headlights of the car, he watched us rush towards a cliff, and he was so frightened that he almost turned his back on it, and the helplessness of seeing that he had been condemned to death and could do nothing made her almost jump out of the car. The cliff appeared very abruptly, as if the flat ground had been slashed by some huge weapon, and at first he thought that the darkness illuminated by the gas lamp was something else.

Then by the time he realized that something was going to happen, it was completely too late, and the braking system had been completely scrapped. The train fell down the cliff, and he fainted in the dark.

When he woke up again, he found himself being thrown out of the shape of an inverted V-shaped train and a large amount of sand buried in him. What's even more terrifying is that it didn't take long for the wind to blow around, and it didn't start much, but gradually it turned into a sandstorm. In the process of moving towards the train, he spotted the four engineers again, so he desperately moved them to the shelter I had seen earlier.

At last they met us and listened, but I didn't find any useful information, only that we did fall from a cliff, and I didn't know if the cliff was big or not, and whether we could climb back.

As we chatted, we gradually finished all the miscellaneous things we could find. However, the whining of the wind outside the train did not diminish at all. At this time, we were a little panicked, judging from the time, we had been hiding in here for a long time, and we fell asleep a few times during this time.

But this sandstorm is still the same as at the beginning, no difference. We've been too busy to pay attention to it, and in everyone's subconscious, we all think that the sandstorm will stop soon, and no one thinks about anything else. I did think about what to pass the time if I had to wait.

But this time it's been a long time, and I don't know what else to do, and things are getting more and more serious
