Chapter II. If it's always going downhill, will you be afraid?

The car continued to drive forward at a speed of about 60 miles for half an hour. The wheels pressed over the water on the road, as if an axe was going down to split the wood, splashing the water in both directions.

At this moment, everyone sat up straight. I kept looking at everything gray outside the car window, and finally, someone called me, "Stop, don't drive, don't drive......" I heard that the person who spoke was Uncle Mu Bai, and his tone was a little not calm enough, so that there was a slight trilling in his voice.

I parked my car on the side of the road and everyone fell silent.

Finally, I don't know how long it took. Feng Tiansong said, "The current situation seems to be...... No matter which direction we drive, it seems to be going downhill all the time. ”

As soon as these words came out, a strange feeling slowly rose in everyone's hearts. Because theoretically, this is simply impossible.

Shen Xiaoxi said, "Even if we go the wrong way and go at the wrong fork in the road, it shouldn't be like this." How could the car keep going downhill? I've never encountered anything like this. ”

Yes, what is happening in front of us seems to subvert the common sense of physics.

Next, Xiao Qicai took out her mobile phone, opened a drawing software, drew a few graphics with her fingers on it, and then handed it to us.

Du Lei looked at Xiao Qicai's eyes and said. "The graphics are too esoteric to be incomprehensible, and for a man who only fights on the battlefield, you'd better be straightforward."

Shen Xiaoxi looked at it for a long time and nodded, "It seems to be a little interesting." ”

Feng Tiansong and I couldn't understand it, so we waited for Xiao Qicai's explanation at this time.

Xiao Qicai said, "All the directional positioning activities we carry out. It's always inseparable from the frame of reference. Let's say we're on this highway right now. Between two steep slopes. Looking forward from one end, there is a mountain in front of you. Looking back from the other end, there is the boundary between the road and the sky. In addition, the surrounding slopes are all slopes, and there is not a single horizontal plane that can be used as a reference. This kind of topography and landform is easy to cause visual errors. ”

Seeing me, Feng Tiansong, and Du Lei still looked a little incomprehensible. Xiao Qicai sighed and said, "Rainy days have an impact on our vision, and the reference objects on both sides of the road here are only some big trees. If the trees planted on the side of the road are not vertical, but are all inclined about 5 degrees in parallel, the illusion will continue to grow. In our habits, we always think of big trees as vertical. If a horizontal road is tilted to the left, we will feel that it is a downhill road with high left and low right; On the other hand, if the tree slopes to the right, we will feel that it is an uphill road with high right and low left. Now, when the slope is not large, no one thinks to suspect that it is a big tree, and naturally thinks that it is the road that is slanted. ”

"I don't understand it, but if you think that the visual error caused by these trees is the reason why we have been going downhill, then there are a few questions you can answer, for example, the first question, why are there no cars here?" Whether it's oncoming, or driving behind, no! It was like all of a sudden we were in a ...... A road of death without people......"

When they said this, everyone couldn't help but shudder. I immediately forbade myself from thinking about it and said, "The second question is, who planted these crooked trees here?" Why do you want to plant these big trees crookedly. If it weren't man-made, how could these trees be crooked like this and lead people astray? ”

Xiao Qicai can't answer these questions. The only thing she can assume is, "If we feel like we've been going downhill, and it's really a visual error, then it's easy, as long as we drive on the left, we can break the game!" ”

I said, "It sounds so profound, could it be that those legendary ecstasy arrays and the like in the Three Kingdoms period also use this principle?" "Sandwich the ball.

Xiao Qicai thought for a moment and said, "It should be." Because human beings have always had a frame of reference for certain aspects of their own judgments. If the frame of reference changes, the normal human mind will be wrong, so there may be a situation where the ghost hits the wall and goes around in the same place and never gets out! ”

"If that's the case, we'll know right away!" As I spoke, I restarted the car's engine, and then I carefully drove the car onto the left side of the road. Although we haven't even noticed a single car around us for so long, if a big truck does come on, we will be suicidal, so it is better to be careful.

After a few minutes......

The car is still in ......

Downhill!

Little Colorful opened her lips, but she couldn't say anything!

Du Lei, Shen Xiaoxi, Yu Mubai, and Feng Tiansong and I also looked at the gray and dark front with a surprised face, everyone was stunned, and no one knew what was going on.

"Drive the car back!" Feng Tiansong calmly pointed to the right side of the road. But I noticed that his hand was a little shaky.

I secretly rubbed all the cold sweat from my palm on my pants, and gently tapped the steering wheel to the right, and the car immediately drove back to the right side of the road. However...... The downhill continues!

"Calm down, everyone!" Shen Xiaoxi said, "No matter what, we have also experienced so many things, we should think of a countermeasure first, and then decide what we should do next." ”

What Shen Xiaoxi said was reasonable, so I didn't know how many times, and parked the car on the side of the road again.

That's when I noticed something even worse, because we had been walking around for hours, and the car was like the gasoline in it that couldn't last forever. So at this time, I quickly noticed that the oil mark indicator was about to drop to the last bar. This means that we can drive up to about 100 kilometres at most, and as far as we know, the nearest petrol station is at least 50 kilometres away.

You have to save some oil!

Later, when I told everyone about the situation, Shen Xiaoxi immediately said, "Wait until I call the nearby police station and explain the situation, there will definitely be a rescue ......."

However, Shen Xiaoxi's sentence was halfway through, and we collectively found that the mobile phone had no signal at all!

Not only that, but the compass we carry with us is completely indistinguishable from the south, east, west, and north.

The situation is so weird that it makes people panic in their hearts.

Xiao Qicai comforted us, "If the compass and the mobile phone lose their normal function at the same time, it seems to explain that there should be a strong magnetic field nearby, so the strange thing that keeps going downhill will happen." It's okay, it's okay......"

As soon as he finished saying this, Feng Tiansong suddenly realized something and shouted, "The last time you looked at your watch, how long ago was it?" ”

"Forgot ......"

"A few hours ago?"

"What's wrong?"

Feng Tiansong said, "If there is really a magnetic field here, it will make the watch, mobile phone and compass ineffective at the same time, does it mean that we have been driving on this highway for more than 3~4 hours?" If the watch stopped 3 hours ago. Maybe it means that we have been here for a longer time, say, 6~7 hours? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's bodies were shocked.

Among those of us, only Yu Mubai and Xiao Qicai brought watches. But maybe it was so weird that neither of them paid attention to the time.

So at this time, Feng Tiansong reminded him, and the two of them hurriedly looked at it again. However, the moment the two of them raised their heads again, their faces became as ugly as they were!

Yu Mubai said coldly, "My watch has really stopped a long time ago!" I don't know when it stopped, but the time was always displayed when we just came down the mountain! ”

Xiao Qicai also couldn't keep calm in the same tone and said, "My watch is too." ”

I unconsciously said very quickly, "The car we rented was filled with a whole tank of fuel when we went up the mountain, and the volume of the fuel tank of this car can hold 100 liters of fuel...... If calculated according to 20 fuel consumption per 100 kilometers...... At the speed we just ......"

Xiao Qicai continued at this time, and then suddenly said something that made us feel chills all over the body, Xiao Qicai said, "According to the calculation of the remaining gasoline in the fuel tank of this car, we are definitely on this weird road, and the driving time is definitely more than 15 hours!" This...... It's so weird! ”

Shen Xiaoxi said, "It's even more strange that I haven't seen a car for so long!" ”

With their words and words, I only felt that the atmosphere became more and more panicked. Anyway, no matter what happens, we must first find the most reasonable solution and then find a way down the mountain. Otherwise, if we continue like this, I am afraid that the problem of food and water alone will be unbearable for us.

And one of the most debatable issues before us now is......

Can this road go down the mountain? If I continue to drive along this road, will I be able to see people?

That's right!

Person......

Why is there not a single person on this highway? The scenery seen back and forth is the same?

What kind of place did we go to?

Suddenly, all the good feeling of seeing the scenery in Kanas Lake for the previous 3 days was gone. Instead, there is a sense of absurdity and weirdness, like a seed of fear, planted in everyone's heart!

And outside the car window, the gray sky has made everyone even more scared, and they can no longer maintain a normal heart.

That's when I asked, "How much more water and food do we have?" ”

Everyone sorted out the backpack and the trunk of the car, and then Shen Xiaoxi unified the data and said, "We also have a box of mineral water, three breads, ten sausages, five cans, and some biscuits that have been opened, these food and water sources are enough for us to last here for a week." ”

At this moment, Shen Xiaoxi's answer seemed extremely funny. None of us laughed, perhaps thinking of the next possibility. Are we going to be here for a long, long time?

I can't know for sure, because at that time, our mobile phones, watches, and compasses were all not working, and the concept of time was blurred!

Later, we discussed in the car for an unknown amount of time, and Feng Tiansong suddenly said, "I'm going to get out of the car and take a look, which of you is going with me?" ”

I don't know why, when Feng Tiansong finished saying that, I suddenly didn't want to leave the car.
