Chapter 190: Soft Dunes
"Oops! I'm running out of energy now, I'm too lazy to speak, do you understand the energy-saving mode!" Just when Huo Chi was a little flustered, Abu suddenly spoke.
"Are you alive?!" Huo Chi was pleasantly surprised, and finally heard Abu's voice again, which was great: "Then why is there still nothing in my field of vision? ”
"Hell, mission accomplished!Don't bother me until you're done with your next mission!" Abu stopped talking.
Well, Huo Chi is a lot more relieved, as long as Abu is fine. Abu had been with him all the way, and suddenly Abu was completely unresponsive, and he was really a little empty in his heart.
The party gradually came to an end in the laughter of everyone, and everyone was tired from eating and drinking. After assigning the order of night duty, everyone was on duty and sleeping, but the little man named Ibn quietly looked at the night sky and didn't seem to be sleeping.
"Hey!" Huo Chi poked his head out of his sleeping bag: "Boy!"
Ibn had very sensitive ears, and he immediately turned his head when he heard Huo Chi's voice: "Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Don't you feel cold, I still have a blanket here, you can use it. Huo Chi pointed to the military blanket he used to pad his head. The desert is very cold at night, and it is completely different from the day.
Ibn shook his head and said, "I'm covered in hair, and I'm not afraid of heat or cold. ”
"Then why don't you sleep yet, you have to drive for most of the day tomorrow, if you don't have a good rest, how can you bear it on the road?" Huo Chi wanted to persuade Xiao Yaren to sleep.
Ibn said, "Big brother, I actually prefer to sleep during the day, don't worry about me." ”
Seeing this, Huo Chi said no more. The lifestyle of subhumans is related to their bestial species, and perhaps the canine is the night owl.
Ibn looked silently into the distance, and the desert in the night seemed secluded and mysterious. On the top of the dunes, occasionally some unknown monsters would run over, and suddenly, several wolf-like monsters appeared on the top of the dunes.
Ibn immediately spotted them, but Xiao Jian and the mercenaries on duty at night were unaware.
Ibn didn't say anything, he silently looked at the wolf-like monsters, a smile on his lips. It would be nice if he could run freely in the vast desert like those monsters.
Ibn suddenly remembered his mother, who was still seriously ill, and he could not leave her behind, but this time he had brought her a lot of meat, and perhaps she would be cured of her illness by eating it!
Ibn thought about it, and closed his eyes too, he was a child after all, and finally he couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
The night was safe, and when Huo Chi opened his eyes, the sky was already white. Soon the morning sun slowly rose, and the sand dunes in the distance were dyed golden, and it looked really magnificent.
Huo Chi got up and washed up, made meat porridge and pancakes for everyone, and after everyone had a full meal, they set out on the journey again.
Sitting in the back seat of Round Ice 008, Huo Chi stared at the dilapidated old city, feeling a pity for the fine wines that could no longer be tasted. However, he and Xiao Jian also took a lot, and finally they don't regret it.
"The sand is getting thicker and thicker, let's not go astray, right?" Xiao Jian asked Fu Ze, who was looking at the map in the co-pilot.
"It shouldn't be, Qin Lang, let's go in the right direction, right?" Fu Ze turned his head to look at Qin Lang.
The cold-faced man glanced at the compass: "That's right." ”
"Really, why do I think the big sand dunes up in front of me look so awkward. Xiao Jian looked at the high continuous sand dunes in the distance, and his heart was beating a little drum, if he continued to drive like this, would he drive to the sand dunes?
"There's something wrong. Fu Ze studied the map for a while and said, "The road is under the sand, let's not go wrong." ”
"The dunes have moved, so we're afraid we'll have to get around them. The cold-faced man raised his head and said, "The last time we were here was a few years ago, and the wind here has become much stronger than before, and I suspect that it may have blown the sand dunes elsewhere." ”
"I also think so, but if I want to go around, will it take too much time?" Su Qingqing put down the binoculars: "It looks like there are at least dozens of miles in the east, and I'm afraid there are more than ten miles in the west." ”
Fu Ze frowned and thought for a moment and said, "The sand here is very loose, and I don't know if the power of Yuanbing 008 will work." ”
"Give it a try, it's right in front of you anyway. Xiao Jian stopped the car, and the huge sand dunes lay in front of him, even blocking out part of the sun.
"You open and try, everyone go down with me first. Fu Ze pushed the car door, and the others went down together, leaving Xiao Jian alone.
The mercenary's car also stopped, and everyone watched Xiao Jian drive Yuanbing 008 towards the hill.
Xiao Jian looked up at the sand dunes in front of him at an almost 90-degree angle, and secretly mustered up his courage. He put the gear in low gear, then increased the throttle and slammed it up.
At the beginning, it was quite smooth, but before halfway up the mountain, the power of Yuanbing 008 seemed to be a little tight, coupled with the continuous quicksand, Yuanbing 008 suddenly fell into the sand.
"MD!" Xiao Jian almost stepped on the accelerator low, but he couldn't get out of trouble after all, this pickup truck is not specifically designed for off-roading, and the tires and power are not enough to control such high sand dunes. And Xiao Jian himself is the first time to drive such a high sand dune, so his experience is also a little worse.
"It's broken! It's trapped!" Fu Ze put down the binoculars and said, "If you can't get through, let's go up to the rescue first." ”
Huo Chi followed Fu Ze to climb the sand dune, Xiao Jian stood on the side of the car with a sad face and said, "No, I can't drive it, the tires are wrong." ”
"It's okay, let's get the car down first, and then take a detour. Fu Ze didn't blame anyone, he took out the sapper shovel from the carriage and handed it to Huo Chi and said: "First fill in the pits on both sides of the car and put the planks on it, Xiao Jian, you get in the car, I say okay, you can reverse the car." ”
Everyone worked together to finally get the car out of the sand, and when Yuanbing 008 returned to the flat ground, this back and forth was delayed for almost an hour.
The mercenaries watched with the mood of watching jokes, and did not help the whole time. Huo Chi saw it in his eyes and complained a little, why didn't these two people watch when they ate yesterday?
The two cars decided to make a detour from the west, this time Xiao Jian was more careful, he drove very slowly, for fear of sinking into the sand again, so when they finally came to the edge of the dune, it was almost noon.
The desert temperature soared at noon, and the air seemed to be still, and there was no wind. However, above such a windless desert, there are some white fluff floating.
"What are those?" Su Qingqing noticed something strange.
