Chapter 1584 Sandstorm
Turn around and go back the way you came.
After getting off the G22 Expressway ramp, they changed their route and planned to bypass the G22 Expressway and head to the northwest.
On Nanhuan East Road, Zheng Shiwu was driving a vehicle speeding on the road.
Half an hour later, walls were built on both sides of the originally smooth road, blocking the entire road, leaving only a road less than five meters wide in the middle.
Moreover, railings and horses were set up in the middle of the road. The wall was about five or six meters high, and there were guards with guns standing on it.
"Damn, this road was blocked by them again, I'll find another way." Black Hand couldn't help but cursed after seeing it.
Zheng Shiwu turned around skillfully. He didn't want to conflict with the group of people. There was no need.
Be able to get around them, try to get around them.
With their ability, it is easy to directly take down the sentry point set up in front, but their people will definitely be killed.
Once things get serious, it will be troublesome to be chased by this group of people, which will actually affect their plans.
Due to their timely retreat, they drove their vehicles and left the place quickly before the guards on the wall could react.
Black Hand looked at the map, "Damn it, the two nearest roads are blocked by them. I suspect that the road to the north may also be blocked by them."
"Then take the small road." Zheng Shiwu replied.
Blackhand said a little irritably: "If you ask me, just kill them directly. I'm wasting my time here."
"no."
Zheng Shiwu flatly refused and said: "Don't cause too much trouble and quickly find a path. We are leaving Lan City today. We must find a safe shelter before dark."
"I know." Black Hand said helplessly.
I couldn't beat him again and again, so I had no choice but to listen to him.
Who told me to have a fight with him when we set off, and we agreed to listen to whoever wins.
If you lose, you are willing to admit defeat.
Nanhuan East Road is the ring road in the south of Lan City, and they finally chose to go through the city center.
But when they were crossing the city center road, they found that the road ahead was piled up with scrapped vehicles, reaching a height of seven or eight meters, blocking the way.
"Grass!"
Seeing the hill of cars piled up seven or eight meters high in front of him, Black Hand couldn't bear it any longer and swore.
Zheng Shiwu turned the car around and changed to a different street, but the same was true for the other street.
In order to block the zombies coming from the east, Ma Laoliu tried every means to block the road to the northwest.
"What should I do? Lao Zheng? I really don't want to take a detour. Those bastards are so disgusting!" Black Hand threw the map aside, obviously not wanting to find a new route.
Zheng Shiwu also looked a little unhappy, "Let's take the dirt road in the suburbs."
After saying that, he drove the off-road vehicle out of the city.
They had been delayed for nearly three hours, and it was half past two in the afternoon.
Soon they arrived at the suburbs, where the dirt roads were filled with gravel and dust.
They were sitting in a very bumpy car. After driving seven or eight kilometers, a barrier appeared in front of them. The structure of this barrier was very simple.
It is a barbed wire fence placed between two pillars.
After Zheng Shiwu drove in front of the barbed wire fence, he stopped and looked at the barbed wire fence.
"No, what are you doing? You don't want to change the road again, do you?" Black Hand said depressedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, boom boom boom!
Zheng Shiwu backed up the car dozens of meters away and accelerated.
Boom!
Click!
The barbed wire fence was directly hit by the vehicle.
Seeing this, Black Hand smiled and said, "That's right, it should have been like this a long time ago."
"Look at the road, how to go ahead." Zheng Shiwu reminded.
"Um."
An hour later, they came out of the dirt road and came to an asphalt road, which was already the northwest suburb of Lan City.
"Take G109 in front, then turn to G30, and then follow G30 to the northwest." After looking at the map, Black Hand gave a faster route.
After reaching the highway, the road surface became much easier to walk on.
However, they still did not relax. This area still belonged to Ma Laoliu, and there was a high possibility of bumping into their people.
Zheng Shiwu was driving the car while eating dry food.
Driving on the road is extremely boring. It is easy to fall asleep while driving for a long time before the end of the world, leading to a car accident.
But there is no need to worry in the apocalypse, there are not many cars on the road, so just drive around.
During the drive, the two of them had little communication.
As time passed, two hours later,
They transferred from the G109 to the G30 highway.
A desert.
I don’t know where a gust of wind came from
Huhuhu——
Yellow sand filled the sky and crackled at the car windows.
It hasn't rained here for months, and the solar radiation is strong. The surface in the northwest is extremely dry and loose, and its ability to resist wind erosion is very weak. When strong winds blow, there will be wind and sand.
On this highway, many scrapped vehicles appeared, and these vehicles were still stained with blood. The blood stains were covered with dust, making it difficult to see clearly.
There were also scattered bullet holes, making it look like a fierce battle had taken place.
This made the two of them a little strange.
"Old Zheng, it looks like these bullet holes were made several years ago. Do you think it could be related to the northwest forces?"
"I don't know, don't worry about it." Zheng Shiwu shook his head.
"This wind and sand came too suddenly, please close the windows."
"Oh, okay." Blackhand quickly rolled up the car window.
In just a short while, a thin layer of sand and dust had already covered the car.
Zheng Shiwu turned on the wipers and tried to scrape the wind and sand off the glass.
But the effect did not seem to be very good.
Ping-pong-pong, some broken sand and gravel hit the windshield, making a crisp sound of impact.
The wind and sand came too suddenly. They were now in a place where there was no village in front and no shop behind, and there was no place to stop and hide.
Woo-woo-woo--
The wind and sand outside the car window were getting bigger and bigger, like the shrill cry of evil spirits.
The sky suddenly darkened.
The sandstorm was raging in the sky like a yellow dragon, and the sky and the earth were dim.
On the highway, the car was like a lonely boat shuttling through the sea of sand, bumping forward.
The wind and sand hit the car window violently, making a "pa-pa" sound, as if countless ghost hands were scratching the car body mischievously.
Scratch!
Zheng Shiwu had no choice but to turn on the headlights.
It is only a little after four in the evening. It usually gets dark a few hours later in the northwest than in the eastern cities.
In front of the car lights, there is only dust, dust, and dust, endless.
In the car, Zheng Shiwu gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the blurry road ahead.
Suddenly, a stronger gust of sandstorm hit, and the car shook violently. Zheng Shiwu's hands gripped the steering wheel even tighter.
"No, we can't go any further. Let's find a place to stop here." Zheng Shiwu saw several scrapped vehicles parked on the roadside in front of him through the windshield, so he drove the car over there.
There is also a row of remaining protective forests on the right side, which should be able to play a role.
Hei Shou turned on the lights, looked at the map and said, "We are 30 kilometers away from Guxian, and we will be there in an hour. Why don't we go to Guxian."
"No, didn't you feel the car body shaking just now? It's too dangerous to drive on." Zheng Shiwu replied.
The wind and sand at this moment are getting stronger and stronger.
Even if the wipers kept turning, they still couldn't block the continuous sand and dust.
The Tengger Desert is just to the north, not far from here.
So once a strong wind blows, the sand and dust in the desert will blow over, seriously affecting the vision.
If they drove off the highway because they couldn't see the road clearly, it would be even more troublesome.
Crunch!
Zheng Shiwu stopped the car and said to Hei Shou: "Wait in the car, I'll go hammer the nails. I don't know if the sandstorm will get bigger and bigger."
"No, wait a minute."
Hei Shou grabbed Zheng Shiwu's arm,
"I'm serious about this. First, we don't know when the sandstorm will pass. If we don't leave now, we'll have to stay here tonight."
"Although there are fewer zombies in the northwest, there must be some. Our car is not safe enough!"
"Second, if the sandstorm lasts for a few days, we'll be trapped here."
Zheng Shiwu thought about it, stopped, turned off the wipers,
pointed to the sandstorm outside and said:
"You drive?"
The sandstorm hit the windshield violently. In just a few seconds, the windshield was covered with a layer of sand and dust, and it was impossible to see the front clearly.
"With the wipers on, we can't see the road clearly. How can we drive? What if we hit something or deviate from the route?"
"I want to go to Guxian, but there's no way now!"
Hei Shou looked at the wind and sand outside the windshield, frowning and still couldn't come up with a solution.
If it was a rainstorm, it would be easy to deal with, the rain would flow down, but the wind and sand.
Hei Shou silently crossed the central armrest box and searched for ground nails and ropes in the back.
After searching for a while, he finally found four ground nails and equipment for nailing ground nails.
"I'll help you."
The two took protective measures in the car. Zheng Shiwu took off his peaked cap, put on a tactical helmet, and zipped up his clothes to the highest position.
Gloves and shoes were checked.
After the two were fully prepared, they nodded, opened the door and walked out.
But because the door was opened, the wind was too strong, and the door could not be pulled or closed.
What's more terrifying is that the two couldn't stand steadily outside the car.
The two could only hold the door handle to avoid being blown away by the wind.
And it was difficult for them to exert their strength under the blowing of the wind and sand outside.
Damn it!
Hei Shou was so blown by the wind that he wanted to curse.
Zheng Shiwu got back into the car, holding the door with one hand and the frame with the other.
He pulled the door with all his strength and pulled it in.
He was struggling with the terrifying wind, and the door was pulled over little by little.
Boom!
It was finally closed.
"Come up, don't hammer the nails, there's no way to do it!"
Zheng Shiwu yelled at Hei Shou.
Hei Shou still stood outside the car, pushing the door of the car with his hands, and pushing it in with all his strength.
The wind suddenly became fast, and his feet slipped, and he quickly grabbed the door handle.
He was almost blown away by the wind.
If he was blown away by the wind, he wouldn't be able to crawl back.
Because the wind and sand were too strong, they couldn't hear each other clearly.
In desperation, Zheng Shiwu had to step over to the passenger seat and gestured to Heishou to come back.
Heishou saw his gesture, understood what was going on, turned around, and moved a little bit into the car.
“How did you close the door?” Heishou asked.
Because the door was open and both of them were wearing helmets, they couldn’t hear each other talking.
Heishou then took off his helmet.
He opened his mouth and shouted: "How did you close it?"
As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, wind and sand blew into his mouth.
Bah bah bah!
His eyes were blurred by the wind and sand.
Zheng Shiwu pulled him and pushed him to the main driving position. Then he sat in the passenger seat and pulled him back hard using the same method just now.
Kaka!
The wind and sand got stuck in the gap between the car doors, making it even harder to close than the car door just now.
Even most of his body was outside, and he was almost blown out by the wind and sand. Fortunately, he held on to the handrail tightly.
Black Hand squinted and saw him closing the door, so he quickly hugged his waist to prevent Zheng Shiwu from being blown out by the wind and sand.
Hey! !
Zheng Shiwu's veins were exposed and he exerted the greatest strength in his life.
He closed the car door forcefully.
As the door closed, the car suddenly became much quieter.
Although the wind and sand outside the car are still very strong, it is relatively quiet in the enclosed space.
The black hand rubbed his eyes, and tears could not stop flowing down because of the sand in his eyes.
"Phew - it would have been fine if I had gone out earlier to lay nails. You have to tell me so much. The wind and sand outside are getting bigger and bigger. We missed the best time to lay nails!" Zheng Shiwu took off his helmet. , said somewhat speechlessly.
In just a few minutes, his entire face was covered with sweat.
That moment just now consumed too much of his energy.
"Give me water, there is sand in my eyes and mouth." Black Hand said, rubbing his eyes continuously.
"You deserve it. Who told you to take off your helmet? Stop rubbing it. The more you rub it, the more uncomfortable it will be."
Zheng Shiwu complained while taking out a bottle of water from the back seat.
"Save it, we only have 10 liters of water."
After Black Hand took the kettle, he quickly took a sip, rinsed his mouth and spit it out.
Then he put some water in the palm of his hand, put his eyes on the palm of his hand, and slowly moved the sand away.
well.
Looking at him, Zheng Shiwu sighed and felt a little headache looking at the messy supplies in the car.
Fortunately, the supplies in the car were packed in packages and were relatively heavy, so they were not blown out.
He looked at the dark windy sand outside and fell into thought.
Their off-road vehicle weighs three tons. With the various supplies and fuel on the vehicle, as well as him and Black Hand, the total weight can reach 4 tons.
4 tons should be relatively safe.
It would be an exaggeration if something weighing four tons could be blown up by wind and sand!
"What the fuck, it makes me so uncomfortable!" Black Hand rinsed his mouth again, but this time he didn't spit out the water, but swallowed it.
His eyes were red and swollen, as if he had cried a lot.
Zheng Shiwu found a canvas bag, and then used his hands to scrape off the sand blown in from the front of the car and put it into it.
"Pack up the things in the car. I don't know how long this sandstorm will last."
After the black hand wiped his face, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Isn't it said that the sandstorms in the northwest happen in spring and winter? Is this why there are such big sandstorms in autumn!?"
Zheng Shiwu glanced at him and said, "Brother, this is the end of the world."
Before the end of the world, before a sandstorm hits, people living here can receive sandstorm reminders several days in advance, make timely preparations, and reduce travel on the day of the sandstorm.
But now it is impossible to detect it at all, the satellites are useless, and there is no notification from the Meteorological Bureau.
Sandstorms come at any time and make people lose their temper at all.
The two of them had just stepped into the northwest, and they experienced a sandstorm in the northwest, which really taught them a lesson.
Ten minutes later, the two of them roughly cleaned up the sand in the car.
But they didn't dare to open the windows. Once they opened the windows, sand would come in.
Putting the canvas bag under his feet, Zheng Shiwu moved the seat to the rear, lying on it with his hands behind the back of his head.
"Wait, wait for this sandstorm to pass."
