Chapter 167: Collapse (Second Update)
Under the dim sky, a convoy of trains, led by the lead off-road vehicle, sped down the highway at an astonishing speed of one hundred and sixty yards.
With the huge mass of the truck, it is difficult to stop at this speed.
At this moment, Qu Ember on the head car heard the sound of a helicopter propeller overhead.
He looked up and saw a military helicopter gunship appear overhead.
The helicopter flew over their heads and headed down the highway.
As expected, it should have been sent by the city guards, most of the purpose is to spy on the road conditions for them, and at the same time to detect whether there are any abnormalities ahead.
They had to get out of the area as quickly as possible in a very short period of time.
Qu Ember fell into deep thought, because he felt that such a move was too risky, and it was better to stay where he was, so that the situation was not good, and at least he could retreat.
Of course, what he could think of, the surname Ji must have thought of it too. The other party still made this decision to grab time, there should be some special reason, or there is certainty.
Everyone was silent at this time, and they all felt that the oppression in the air was getting stronger and stronger.
The sky was getting darker and darker, especially in the direction of the Savage Tribe 9 diagonally in front of them, and the black area was like another plane, and that plane was pressing down on them.
Over time, all cars turned on their high beams so that they could see the road ahead.
Qu Ember put his hand in his pocket, holding the plastic cigarette butt and the hair of the two-headed dog, each consuming a hundred energy points and using the bloodline curse.
Then he noticed that the other party was dozens of kilometers away from him, and he was not close to here.
Soon, the helicopter overhead flew away.
Just then, the torrential rain began to fall.
The raindrops crackled on the windshield at first, then crackled and snapped.
Zhang Yuan turned on the wipers and drove them to the maximum gear, and the wipers swayed wildly from side to side, making a creaking and rubbing sound.
But even so, there is still a feeling that I can't see the road ahead.
In this case, you have to slow down.
Zhang Yuan used the walkie-talkie to notify the car behind and slowed down to 120 yards.
Even so, they were able to completely move away from the area of Savage Tribe 9 in forty minutes.
It's just that no one knows what will happen in these forty minutes.
Missiles are not something that ordinary people can have, and they can definitely be traced back to the source.
Qu Ember sat back, his back all pressed against the back of the chair.
In his opinion, the Barbarian Horde No. 9 was attacked, and this is no joke.
"Has this happened before?"
I only heard him ask Zhang Yuan beside him.
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded, "It happened, but this missile can't bring a big disaster to the No. 9 barbarian tribe, it can only cause some small turmoil, causing some mutations to rush out." Some extremists who want to deal with Venus City will resort to this method. ”
"But then this situation rarely happened, because the mutation in the No. 9 barbarian tribe seemed to be able to find out who was making the move and retaliate against the person who launched the missile, so it didn't affect Venus City."
Zhang Dongdong and Captain Qin in the back row breathed a sigh of relief, if they said this, they should not be affected.
"There is a fork in the road ahead, so be vigilant."
At this moment, the voice surnamed Ji came from the walkie-talkie again.
Forks in the road are a good place to intercept, as long as you intercept them successfully, you can take things away.
Qu Shen looked at the map on the car and found that there was indeed a fork in the road, which was a highway to other places, and there were still about three kilometers left.
The speed of the off-road vehicle slowed down to 100 kilometers per hour, and Qu Ember and the three of them all looked out the window intently.
In a few moments, they were in the area where the road forked.
To their relief, the ramp was not out of the ordinary, and they passed without incident.
At this time, the sky seemed to be completely dark, as if it was a sudden solar eclipse in broad daylight, and it was also an extreme weather with heavy rain.
Qu Ember looked at the map, and not far in front of them, there was a fifty-kilometer-long tunnel.
As long as you pass through the tunnel, you can be far away from the No. 9 barbarian tribe.
But suddenly, Zhang Yuan slowed down again and immediately turned on the walkie-talkie to notify the rear car.
"Slow down, there's a car ahead."
Qu Shen and the three of them saw that a car had appeared in front of them.
It was a white sedan, which is rarely seen outside the city. Those who can drive out of the city are generally off-road vehicles, and the chassis of the sedan is too low to be suitable for road conditions outside the city.
The white sedan in front of it, still flashing at this time, maintained a low speed in the rainstorm.
"Toot toot!"
At the same time as Zhang Yuan pressed the horn, he picked up the walkie-talkie, and urged forward through the loudspeaker on the car: "The car in front of you should go faster." ”
They didn't know what it was, but they couldn't let it go behind them.
Seeing his urging, the white sedan in front of him did not react at all.
At this moment, the armed pickup truck behind the off-road vehicle accelerated and rushed up.
"Dada...... Dadada......"
A shuttle bullet hit the guardrail next to the white car, ejecting sparks.
The next moment, the white sedan with double flashes suddenly sped up and instantly distanced itself from them.
Seeing this, the pickup truck returned to the rear of the off-road vehicle again.
Zhang Yuan put down the walkie-talkie, and then slowly stepped on the accelerator.
As the first car picks up, the car behind also increases its speed.
After Qu Ember thought about it, he turned on the anomaly detector, and he could confirm whether the person in the white car in front of him was abnormal.
Under his probing, there was no sound in his head.
Of course, the absence of mutation does not mean that there is no danger.
The appearance of the white sedan in front of them made them all vigilant.
And by this time, the sky was already dark and sunny, and you couldn't see the road ahead without driving your headlights.
Even if the high beams are turned on, the distance that the lights can shine on seems to be quite limited.
For the next half hour, they drove extremely smoothly.
Look at the map and there are still a few kilometers left to enter the tunnel.
However, the downpour continued, and some roads began to accumulate water.
The white sedan in front of them kept a distance of hundreds of meters from them, and its taillights could only be seen in a straight line.
After the last few kilometers of running, Qu Ember finally saw a tunnel appear in front of them, and they saw the dark entrance to the tunnel from a long distance.
Zhang Yuan slowed down, down to eighty yards, then sixty yards.
At the same time, they saw that the white sedan had also slowed down and driven into the tunnel mouth ahead.
The tunnel was pitch black and unlit.
Qu Ember glanced back at the direction of the Barbarian Tribe No. 9 behind him, the place that had been diagonally in front of them was now diagonally behind.
But it was still dark and dreary, like the entrance to the gates of hell.
"The tunnel can be passed."
The young man surnamed Ji only listened to the first car.
Eventually, Zhang Yuan reduced his speed to forty yards and drove into the tunnel.
With the headlights on, they couldn't see inside the tunnel.
All they have to do now is travel 50 kilometers to the other end of the tunnel.
"You said that if someone blew up the tunnel, would we be trapped?"
At this time, Zhang Dongdong, who was sitting in the back row, finally spoke.
Hearing his speculation, Captain Qin on the side couldn't help but show a worried look.
However, Qu Ember felt that it should not be very likely, because it was not a wise decision to blow up the tunnel.
Imagine if they were trapped in the tunnel, the super spiritual power releaser would also be trapped in the tunnel, and it would not be a short time to get out.
By the time the tunnel was opened, a large number of armed helicopters from Venus City and Moonlight City had already arrived.
Just as he thought so, he heard a loud bang coming from in front of them.
Immediately afterward, they also felt the road shake a few times.
Qu Ember thought to himself that he wouldn't be slapped in the face so soon.
Zhang Yuan slowed down again, and after driving for a kilometer, they saw that there was a collapsed area in front of them, and large areas of dirt and rocks had fallen, almost filling up the tunnel.
All the cars stopped, and in the quiet tunnel, only the wipers that had not yet been turned off could be heard, swaying from side to side.
In addition, they did not see the white sedan in front of them where it collapsed.
This made Qu Ember wonder if the collapse ahead had something to do with the car.
Soon, however, they dismissed the idea, for from the collapsed mound of earth came the sound of a long car horn.
The white sedan seemed to be crushed into it.
"What's going on with the car in front of you?"
The voice surnamed Ji came over the intercom.
Zhang Yuan immediately replied: "It's collapsed, a large amount of earthwork is blocking the road, and it takes an excavator to clean it up." ”
As soon as his words fell, there was a sound of doors opening and closing from behind.
Some of the City Guards got out of the car with guns and walked forward.
Qu Ember also opened the car door, and with the help of the high beam of the off-road vehicle, he came to the front of the collapsed earth and rock.
The flooded white sedan honked its horn for a long time, and I don't know what was going on.
Everyone looked at the blocked road in front of them, and their faces were extremely ugly.
"Put the excavator down."
When the young man surnamed Ji saw this scene, he immediately gave an order.
Then he looked at the rest of the City Guard, "Everyone is on the move. ”
Everyone turned around and walked towards the troop carrier, which had a shovel on it, which was prepared for such a situation.
The surnamed Ji looked at Captain Qin and Zhang Dongdong again, "Let's go to the back of the tunnel to see the situation." ”
Captain Qin and Zhang Dongdong nodded, turned around and walked towards the back of the tunnel.
Now they are blocked, so to prevent sneak attacks.
In addition to the two of them, the big man was also walking towards the rear.
With the three of them, even if they encounter a level 4 mutation, they can deal with it.
When the excavator slowly drove from the rear, more than a dozen city guards also began to dig with shovels.
Qu Shen looked at the surnamed Ji and shook his head slightly, if he didn't withdraw the convoy now, in case the rear also collapsed, then they would really be trapped.
As soon as he thought of this, he walked towards the back, intending to check on the situation.
"Mr. Qu, you and I should stay here, there should be something wrong with that white car."
As soon as he took two steps, the young man surnamed Ji looked back at him and said.
Qu Ember paused, then turned around again and watched as the crowd began to clear the earthwork in front of him.
