"Huh?" Wu Zhijun looked out the window, "Go out now?" Isn't it ......"

Suman interrupted him, "If you want to live, leave now." If you want to die, you stay here. After speaking, Su Man took out a wide scarf from the canvas satchel on the side and wrapped it around his mouth and nose layer by layer, "Quick, find something to block your nose and mouth." ”

I quickly took out a long-sleeved T-shirt from my bag and wrapped it around my face and left only my eyes.

Meng Chao and Wu Zhijun were also hurriedly doing what Su Man said.

Su Man took out another goggles and a rope for himself, "Go out for a while, close your eyes and grasp the rope and follow me, keep your body as low as possible, you must not fall behind, otherwise you will end up dead." ”

I nodded at her, and Su Man looked at Meng Chao and Wu Zhijun again, tied the rope around his waist, pulled the car door, and walked out.

The moment the door opened, I didn't expect the wind to be so strong, even though I was mentally prepared. As soon as I was about to step out of the door, I was almost pushed back by the wind.

I lowered my body, held my strength back, grabbed Suman's rope, and got out of the car door again.

After walking out, I turned my head to look at our car, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, it turned out that the minibus we were riding in had fallen into the sand at an angle, and the back two wheels were no longer visible, and the sand was almost buried under the door. Fortunately, Suman reminded us in time, otherwise once the sand pressed against the car door, we would have fled through the window. At the current speed at which the body is sinking, the four of us may not be able to escape.

Suman pulled the rope in front of him and motioned for us to go. I looked up and looked forward, wanting to see where Suman was, but as soon as I turned around, a lot of sand instantly rushed into my eyes, and my tears flowed from pain, and my eyes suddenly couldn't open. No wonder, Suman told us to hold on to the rope.

At this point, I was temporarily blind, and I could only rely on the rope around Suman's waist to lead us forward.

There was a slight sound from behind and the vibration from the rope in my hand, and I knew that Meng Chao and Wu Zhijun should be following behind.

The tears in my eyes are still flowing, and the stress response that humans have evolved in nature is still useful. After the tears washed away, my eyes felt a little better.

I covered my eyes with one hand and squinted slightly to look ahead, and Suman was bent over, almost on all fours.

I turned my head to look behind me, and not far away from where the car was, there was only one roof left.

I speculate that the sand layer there has collapsed, and Suman is right about it, the surface sand layer of Gurbantunggut is relatively hard, but under the action of such a strong wind, a large amount of sand has migrated, destroying the structure of part of the sand layer, and if the part below the surface sand layer is not solid, it will collapse similarly. Looks like we've been tricked.

Because I don't know how big the void space is under this sand layer, if the space is large, once the collapse has a chain reaction, we will be dragged into the sand layer together, and we will definitely die at that time. So we have to get away from this area as soon as possible.

Suman took us around as much as possible along the underside of the sand dunes to avoid strong winds.

Just as we were circumnavigating a sand dune, we suddenly saw a high and low red dome protrusion on the ground not far ahead.

Those red bumps seemed to be a lot of red-roofed houses, which made my heart excited for a while, and I couldn't help but shout, "Did you find that village!" ”

My words should not have reached Suman's position at all, and as soon as the voice came out, the wind blew back. But I think Meng Chao and Wu Zhijun in the back should have heard it, because I felt the part behind the rope suddenly tremble a few times.

I turned and waved at them, and they nodded at me with joy on their faces.

Probably because of the effect of quenching the thirst of Wangmei, I was a little tired just now, and now I feel that I have inexhaustible strength in my body, and even the resistance of the wind and sand is much smaller.

However, as we got closer and closer to the "red-roofed house", I was disappointed to find that it was not a red-roofed house at all, but a dome of rocks, which protruded from the ground in twos and threes, and stood there.

Even though they only looked like yurts, Suman led us in that direction.

When we got to the round red stones, the wind whined through the gaps between the stones.

We found a corner between two tall rocks, and the four of us couldn't wait to get into it.

The angle between the rocks creates a leeward zone, where the wind decreases sharply. We sat down against the rocks and could finally catch our breath.

Meng Chao pulled down the clothes covering his mouth and muttered to himself, "This, this is simply terrifying." ”

Su Man also let out a sigh, "We're lucky enough, it's not far from this mudstone. You can come and take shelter from the wind. ”

It's not comfortable to hide here, but it's much better than the situation just now. From time to time, there are still grains of sand that are swept in by the wind, and we eat a mouthful of sand if we are not careful. We just sat quietly and waited for the wind and sand to pass.

After a long time, I looked and saw that it was already noon. Nearly four hours had passed since we set off in the morning, but we hadn't even covered a third of the total distance, and we were still stuck in the car.

I turned my head to look at the rocks behind me, the surface was relatively smooth, probably due to wind erosion. The surface of the rock is orange and fiery red. I asked Suman how there were so many colored rocks here?

Su Man shook his head, "I don't know how many thousands of years these rocks have existed, and I don't know where they came from, but I know that everyone calls them multicolored stones." ”

Wu Zhijun said next to him, "This rock is a kind of mudstone, which protrudes from the ground through the surface movement of the earth's crust, and the mudstone in this place contains a large amount of iron, which burns nodules under the action of lightning and sunlight, forming the color of the mudstone surface. ”

"So that's the case," Su Man nodded, and gave Wu Zhijun a thumbs up, "He is worthy of being a top student of the University of Geosciences, and he has grown knowledge." ”

was praised by the goddess, Wu Zhijun was naturally overjoyed, and he didn't care about the wind and sand blowing into his mouth, so he grinned.

Unconsciously, I felt that the wind and sand outside were much smaller, and the sand particles blown up in the air were much better than just now. The sun in the sky also showed its face, but without the barrier of wind and sand, the sun shone directly, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased a lot. The wind around me started to turn hot, and I unbuttoned my clothes, but it still felt hot.

Su Man patted the sand on his body and stood up, "While there is no wind now, let's hurry up." Otherwise, as soon as the temperature drops, the wind will come again. ”
