Chapter 44: Spirit
The Atomic Humvee is trying to escape from this catastrophe as fast as it can, but it is still not enough.
The two people in the car watched the billowing red dust surging in, Andy understood that if they drove according to this trend, they would definitely not be able to run, and when they saw the huge dust storm with their naked eyes, this ending was basically doomed.
"It seems that you can't run away, do you have any suggestions?"
Andy took out a cigarette and lit it in his mouth, and for some reason, he was calm.
Kuresu stared at the horror not far away.
"Generally speaking, the only thing you can do is find a shelter, even if it's a pothole... In short, it must not be exposed. ”
There was a strange wind coming from outside, sharp and piercing, like a wicked laugh, like a wail....
"W-"
The Atomic Hummer's on-board radio suddenly made an unusual noise, and Andy casually turned it off.
Ku Ruisu looked at it in a daze, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.
Andy looked left and right, obviously he saw some big rocks just now, but now he can't find them.... For now, I had to continue to struggle to drive forward, and there was no other way but to pray that there would be a shelter from the wind ahead.
Looking back, Andy saw that Kurisu seemed to be a little out of shape.
"What's wrong, Great Chief? A little scared? ”
Andy couldn't figure out what was going on with him, but instead of being scared, he was a little excited....
"I think of a lot of things.... There's the tribe I used to belong to, and what I learned about in the Dog Village..."
Kuruisu's face was a little ugly, and the sharp wind outside the car was getting louder and louder, even reaching the level of affecting hearing, and the two of them had to raise their voices.
"So what? I remember hearing in the village of Twisted Dogs that their ancestors were driven from the northeast by this great dust storm. ”
More and more red dust began to appear in the wind in front of him, staining everything blood-red, and sand particles were constantly carried by the wind and hit the shell and glass of the car, making a terrible crashing sound.
"The people of the Dog Twist Village said that this dust storm is not an ordinary dust storm, there are a large number of spirits hidden in the wind, once they are trapped in it, people will lose consciousness or even go crazy, and they will never be able to get out of it."
Kurisu's eyes were obscure.
"Ah, that, I was bored when they told me at the time, and I didn't listen carefully, they called that disaster a great spiritual disaster or something, so this time it might be..."
Before Andy finished speaking, the car radio actually turned on by itself, and there was a strange sound like a woman crying, and then Andy turned it off again.
The two looked at the car radio and were silent.
Everything around has gradually transitioned from pale red to dark red, and the ominous wind is getting louder and louder....
The car began to shake slowly, and the wind and dust rolled out the window, and it was almost impossible to see in the distance.
There was a dazzling light in the distance, and in the direction where the dust storm hit, a lightning bolt suddenly appeared, and under the background of the red dust in the sky, it looked like it was emitting a red light. Then, a dull and shocking thunder poured into the eardrums of the two people in the car.
"Boom!! ——”
The demon in the back seat let out a wail and lay there shivering.
Andy looked at the terrible dust storm that swept in the distance in an unstoppable manner, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that he could see a lot of strange outlines in the churning dust, some as big as a mountain and some as strange as a long snake.....
"I used to laugh at the superstitions of the people in the Cockdog Village, but now it seems that they are quite apt.... If I had survived this disaster on foot, I would have been traumatized. ”
Once again, the on-board radio started on its own, and the display flashed, this time emitting a series of strange sounds like countless people whispering together, which was a headache to listen to.
Andy grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and pulled out the python with the other, and slammed it into the radio.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
Three times later, it erupted into a cloud of sparks, followed by a complete silence.
“.....”
Kurisu glanced at the miserable on-board equipment.
"Those things of the old world will be carriers of spirits."
Andy put the pistol back in the holster and just smiled.
"I just thought it was a magnetic anomaly.... If you are swallowed up by this level, you will indeed fall into madness.... Come on, it's finally there. ”
Kurisu looked over and saw a large stone arch in front of him, with a recessed part of the side of the boulder that could be used to avoid the catastrophe in front of him.
A large lizard had already taken the lead, but it was just lying there with its eyes closed and shivering, and Andy didn't let it move, even though Andy had already driven the car to it.
After parking the car, Andy turned off the ignition, and now there was nothing else to do but resign himself to fate.
The two of them sat in the seat of the car, silently watching the more and more serious disasters outside, the visibility getting lower and lower, and finally it became almost a dark red pitch black, and the only light source that could illuminate everything briefly was scarlet lightning.
Once inside, the shrill wind turned into a hum....
After looking at the red wind and dust in front of him for a long time, Andy felt a little dazzled, and the dust seemed to turn into an O-shaped silhouette for a while, and an I-shaped outline for a while.....
"Speaking of Kuruisu, what you said before you thought about the tribe you belonged to before, can you elaborate on it?"
Kurisu had already closed his eyes an hour ago, and turned his head to look at him when he heard Andy's words.
"You don't believe it, there's nothing to say."
Andy reached out to the back seat and stroked the demon twice, which was not in good shape.
"It's boring, it's idle to be idle, let's talk about it..."
Kurisu's eyes reflected a sudden red glow outside, and the thunder was causing the Atomic Humvee to tremble.
“..... As you might have guessed, I used to come from a tribe in the west, and like most tribes, we didn't even have the idea of giving our village a proper name before we came into contact with the outside world, and when we found out that we needed a name for our village, we found that the people outside had already named us. ”
Another bolt of lightning pierced the crimson darkness, and Andy seemed to see a figure not far away, but he couldn't see it with a cigarette in his mouth, just listened to Kurisu's story.
"The Salt Lake Tribe, or rather, the tribe next to the Great Salt Lake..... It's the kind of name, if you were to find an official name for the tribe I was born into, and although I was abducted by slave traders when I was a little girl, my memories of my hometown are still very strong. ”
Kurisu closed his eyes and fell into the memory.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
