Chapter 155: Meteorite Fall
An RV carrying 10 people gradually drove away from Jingshi, where it had lived for nearly three years, and headed north along the highway again, heading 600 kilometers away to the Hunza grassland.
Wen Qizhou, who was in the driver's seat, listened to their chatter while looking at the vehicle behind him through the rearview mirror.
Recently, many people have received the news of the relocation of the base in advance, and they are afraid that they will wait too long for something to happen, so they simply follow them and drive their own vehicles in advance.
Because of this, you can sometimes encounter overtaking.
But no matter how the car next to him was speeding on the highway, he still maintained a steady speed and carried a carload of people.
He drove down the highway and was about to drive to another road according to Chi Yue's directions, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a streamer and fell down at an incalculable speed.
Chi Yue: "Turn left!" ”
She also noticed the streamer, her face visibly pale, and she clutched her seat belt and reminded him loudly.
Wen Qizhou subconsciously turned the steering wheel.
The wheels made a screeching sound and rushed into the grass as a carload screamed and plunged into the green belt next to it.
In the next second, a huge black meteorite smashed into the road they were about to drive forward with a "bang".
There was a moment of silence between heaven and earth.
Countless meteorites then fell rapidly, mercilessly destroying the surrounding roads and buildings with a loud bang.
The moving vehicle did not have time to avoid it, and even the people and the car were forced underneath.
Trails of blood meander and spread from under the meteorite.
Everyone finally came to their senses and looked through the car window in disbelief.
Sadness flashed in Wen Qizhou's eyes.
Remembering that the crisis was still there, he didn't dare to stay here too long, so he restarted his car and rerouted it to another way.
The meteorites behind him kept falling, and every time they fell, an earth-shattering loud bang sounded.
The sky trembled, and everything lost color.
The speed of one hundred and twenty yards accelerated violently in the approaching meteorite, and Chi Yue, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had a thin layer of sweat on his palms, and his heartbeat jumped to his throat.
The original destination had to be rerouted under the chase of death, and the RV was heading in an unpredictable direction.
The loud noise behind him was getting closer and closer.
Wen Qizhou clutched the steering wheel tightly, didn't even have time to look at the rearview mirror, gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator to the end.
Just as the road was turning, a spinning meteorite fell in front of it, splashing countless flying stones in front of the car.
His pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously knocked the steering wheel to the side, causing the RV to suddenly sink into the lake.
"Ahh
People in the back seat who are not wearing seat belts have difficulty leaning forward in balance as the front of the car crashes into the lake.
"Hold on tight!" Xie Changxiao shouted, hugged Xun Song, who was closest to him, and clutched the table legs with all his strength.
The rest of them are trying to find a way to stabilize their footing.
"Yueyue, how are you?" Wen Qizhou, whose forehead hit the steering wheel, endured the hot pain, unbuckled his seat belt, and stepped towards the co-pilot to care about Chi Yue's condition.
"I'm fine."
She just hit her knees.
But she didn't care so much at the moment, she glanced solemnly at the lake surging outside the windshield, and took out ten sets of diving equipment from the space through the cover of Wen Qizhou's size.
There were no landlubbers among those present.
They didn't need to worry, the rest of the people were afraid of the problem of not daring to swim in the water, so they immediately walked to the back as soon as they picked up their diving equipment.
"Do you know how to use it?"
"Yes."
The crowd didn't know when they had prepared the diving equipment, and they didn't bother to ask.
After Ming Chang put on diving goggles for the two apprentices and taught them how to use them, Wen Qizhou broke a car window that could accommodate one person to pass through and led them out of the RV.
The meteorite carrying the tail of fire is still falling.
When the meteorite smashed into the lake, the temperature of the lake rose for a moment, as if a raging fire was burning in all directions, constantly transmitting unbearable heat to them.
Chi Yue, who was holding a respirator, couldn't spit out half a word, but could only slap the splash around him to attract their attention.
She gestured to the front of the car.
It's not the best time to leave the lake, and it's safer for them to take shelter in a sturdy motorhome.
Wen Qizhou understood what she wanted to express, and paddled her arms in the direction of the front of the car.
The rest followed.
They closed the distance between them and stared at the rippling waters in trepidation.
The fish that fled in a hurry turned into a blur of flesh and blood under this unwarranted disaster, and the plants in the depths of the lake could not escape the fate of being ruthlessly crushed.
Xun Song looked at the fish that was killed by the gravel not far away, the bright red blood was imprinted on the bottom of his eyes, he felt fear in hindsight, and the whole person trembled uncontrollably.
Mingzhang, who had been holding him, noticed his trembling body, and silently raised his left hand to cover those eyes.
They dived deep all the time, and always followed Wen Qizhou and Chi Yue to change positions, so as not to be affected by the flying rubble.
I don't know how long it has been.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, and there was no longer the violent sound of meteorites hitting the lake.
Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou bore the brunt of the rush upstream, went to the water to observe the situation, and made sure that the meteorite really stopped, before turning back and gesturing to everyone, signaling them to follow.
Ten figures approached the shore of the lake.
Wet people, wrapped in a puddle of water, sit on the shore of the lake, take off their diving equipment, and take a deep breath.
"It's too scary...... Chi Yunyan propped his hands behind him, relaxed and leaned back, "I really didn't expect to see such a small probability of a meteorite falling in my lifetime." ”
Chi Yue: "Who isn't." ”
They looked at the lake dotted with rubble, and the fear of the rest of their lives came to their hearts, and they were silent for a long time.
After resting for a while, Yao Chengwei got up and glanced in the direction of the RV: "Let's scoop up the supplies first, shall we?" ”
Zhao Peng responded: "I'll go with you." ”
"I'm afraid you two won't be able to finish it." Xie Changxiao and Chi Yunyan then got up and prepared to go into the water with them.
The four of them put on their diving gear again.
When they went into the water, Wen Qizhou and Ming Zhang went to the back of the lake and picked up a bunch of branches, which they prepared to keep for the fire.
Fortunately, the sun had not yet set, and the heat was approaching forty-five degrees, which made their wet clothes dry quickly.
Chi Yue untied the development rope.
Turning his back to the scorching sun, he basked in his long wet hair, and quietly watched the four people under the water drag supplies and swim ashore.
They tied sacks containing pots and pans, vegetables and meat, seasonings, tent sleeping bags and clothes with ropes, and dragged everything they needed to the shore of the lake at once.
She and Wen Qizhou grabbed them, first pulled the people up, and then dragged up the very heavy sack after being soaked in the water, and put the materials inside aside, leaving it to the scorching sun.
"We forgot to take the filter...... Zhao Peng, who counted the supplies, suddenly realized that the filter was missed by them.
"Then I'll swim again."
Yao Chengwei jumped into the water.
According to the position that Chi Yue said, he got into the RV to find the filter and two buckets, and then slowly surfaced.
With the filter, they scooped a bucket of lake water, filtered it, set it on a freshly lit fire, boiled it and drank it.
"What do you eat at night?" Ming Zhang, who was arranging the ingredients, took out two pieces of soaked pork belly and set them aside separately.
"The barbecue is good, it's convenient." They tossed for so long, all of them were exhausted, and they simply ate some barbecue.
Wen Qizhou helped cut the meat.
He put the sliced pork belly on a plate, waited for Chi Yunyan to prop up two branches, put a long stainless steel grilling net on the branches, and then picked up the meat slices one by one and put them on the grilling net.
There is a lot of oil in the pork belly, so there is no need to brush the oil.
After the meat slices were roasted until golden brown, Sun Rui brought a pot of lettuce, four plates of chili dipping sauce and two plates of garlic slices were placed between them, so that they could eat the lettuce wrapped in meat.
Bursts of fragrance linger on the tip of the nose.
They pick up slices of meat and dip them in chili peppers, or two garlic slices, or put them directly on top of the lettuce, roll them in two and wrap them and eat them.
"Brother Zhou, what should I do with the RV? Scoop it up or don't you care? Yao Chengwei asked vaguely.
"I'll see after tonight."
The fishing car is definitely to be fished.
But with their arm strength, dragging the car up alive was not an easy task.
It is best to use Chi Yue's space to put away the RV first, and then find a location close to the lake shore to take it out.
Of course, this method cannot be said outside.
Wen Qizhou decided to wait until nightfall, they all went into the tent and fell asleep, and then quietly came out with Chi Yue to do this.
"Okay." Yao Chengwei swallowed the pork belly and looked at the meteorite not far away: "It's okay to let it stay in the lake, in case another meteorite falls, we can still use it to block it for a while." ”
There are no suitable shelters nearby.
The building is completely vulnerable to the attack of meteorites, and it can only be considered a little safe if it dives into the lake.
Sun Rui stared at the gravel at his feet in a daze: "I don't know how the newly built base is?" Can you hold the meteorite? ”
"Should it be?"
No one said clearly.
Chi Yue thought of Ge Qinyao and the others who had arrived in the grassland before them, and furrowed her brows, and inevitably felt a trace of anxiety in her heart.
Or perceiving her emotions, Wen Qizhou raised his arm slightly, and his warm palm landed on her back and patted her lightly a few times.
"Don't think about it."
The warm voice brushed through his ears, like gurgling water flowing through his heart, inadvertently soothing Chi Yue's anxiety.
She pulled back to her thoughts.
Focus on the grilled net, stop thinking in the worst direction, and disturb the state of calm that should be maintained.
*
Night falls.
Four sun-dried tents were set up by the lake, and they went into the tents to change their clothes and sat down at the fire.
Branches pop in the fire.
Small sparks exploded, crackling sounds, breaking the silence around them.
Ming Chang proposed that everyone take turns to keep vigil, and Yun Qi, who was already an adult, also insisted on keeping vigil together, so everyone discussed, and their master and apprentice and Chi Yunyan kept the first round.
"It's almost ten o'clock." Ming Zhang lowered his head and saw the time on the dial by the firelight: "You guys go and rest first." ”
"Okay."
Wen Qizhou led Chi Yue to get up.
As soon as he was about to enter the tent, he faintly heard a chilling sound breaking through the air, carrying sound waves from far and near.
His face changed: "The meteorite is coming!" ”
A meteorite fell at a rapid pace, with a deafening loud thud, and slammed into the trees not far from them.
Gravel splattered.
Chi Yue, who was protected by him, looked up at the fire flashing in the sky, and immediately ordered them to go into the water.
"Get in the water and get to the RV!"
The RV did not crash into the depths of the lake.
As Yao Chengwei said in the evening, they could indeed use it to dodge for a while.
They quickly put on their diving gear.
While running to the shore of the lake, Yunqi accidentally tripped over a gravel at his feet and stumbled to the ground.
Chi Yunyan and Mingzhang, who were walking on his left and right, noticed that he was about to fall, and at the same time grabbed his arm, helped him stabilize his body, and then ran to the lake to "plop" and jump into the water.
They followed Chi Yue and dived.
Diving around the RV, two or three meteorites with fire tails smashed into the lake, making a loud sound that shook the heavens and the earth.
The surface of the lake rippled, as if an enraged dragon was venting its anger at the bottom of the water, causing the entire lake to be smashed by meteorites that fell suddenly.
A flash of red.
As if they were dodging a meteorite for the first time, they adjusted their position from time to time so as not to be affected by the debris it brings.
Wait for the outside world to be quiet.
When the lake returned to calm, Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou led them to the surface and slowly swam towards the shore of the lake.
The crowd climbed onto the shore of the lake and sat down on the ground.
"I'm so tired...... Xie Changxiao took off the diving goggles for Xun Song in his arms, and wiped a handful of water droplets on his face.
He gasped, his eyes fell on the dripping water beach around him, and said helplessly: "I didn't change my clothes if I knew it." ”
"It's a pity that there was no 'early knowing'."
Chi Yue twisted the water at the corner of his clothes.
After a while, everyone slowly got up from the shore of the lake, and the water was wrapped in gravel slag, like beef skewers sprinkled with cumin, but no one had the strength to shoot it off.
Two of the tents that had been erected earlier were smashed by meteorites, and they couldn't even see a piece of cloth, and they were all covered under the meteorite.
They couldn't help but sigh.
Yao Chengwei pulled his hair back, turned it into a big back, and said quietly: "It turns out that this is called pie in the sky." ”
Isn't it a pie?
Pick a lucky winner at random and send them to heaven.
Everyone couldn't cry or laugh, and the tense atmosphere was suddenly broken by Yao Chengwei, and even Xun Song, who was scared, showed a smile.
They went into the tent to change their clothes, waited for their wet hair to dry, and then squeezed into two tents to lie down to rest.
In the middle of the night, the meteorite came menacingly.
Yao Chengwei, who was keeping vigil, immediately woke everyone up, skillfully put on the diving equipment placed beside them, hurried to the lake, and plunged into the lake again.
……
The same steps and movements were repeated twice in the second half of the night, until the white belly was turned upside down.
When Chi Yue waited for them to enter the tent to catch up on sleep, she jumped into the lake with dark circles under her eyes and put the RV into the space.
The body remains inclined to enter the space, and the water in the car quickly flows out and is absorbed cleanly.
She swam to the shore: "Where is the car?" ”
"Where you are." Wen Qizhou, who was standing on the shore to "keep an eye on" Chi Yue, stretched out his hand to pull her up first.
Chi Yue climbed ashore with his strength.
As soon as her mind moved, the RV appeared out of thin air half-overhanging the shore, only the front of the car was pressed against the rippling lake.
"Alright." She and Wen Qizhou walked to the fire, and didn't look at the RV that could be pulled up with a rope. (End of chapter)
