Chapter 61 Sandstorm
"Boss, why did the superiors send us to this place where birds don't shit?"
A group of people wearing black military uniforms were driving two off-road vehicles in the Far North Desert, and a voice sounded from their communication equipment.【】
"Yes, boss, what are we doing in this extreme northern desert?"
A figure approached the co-pilot and asked him.
"Huazi, Linghu, we are here to find a ruins this time."
The person speaking was Ye Chen, and the people behind Ye Chen were naturally other members of the Longteng Brigade.
"Boss, are there really any ruins in this desert? I think it's all sand, so there shouldn't be any."
Linghu still didn't quite believe that there would be any so-called ruins here.
"The superiors will not send us here for no reason. Regardless of whether there is one or not, we have to carry out the order."
Yechen chuckled and said to the spirit fox behind him.
"Yes, Linghu, the boss has said so. You kid, please stop talking. If you tell two jokes, I can accept it, but your cold jokes probably won't make us laugh."
"Fuck you, Dajun, why did my joke go sour?"
Waves of laughter came out.
Linghu said no more. All the soldiers had to do was obey the order, and the group continued to drive deeper into the desert.
"Boss, look, there is a building ahead."
Linghu suddenly pointed forward and said to Yechen.
Ye Chen took a closer look, and sure enough, there were layers of buildings in front of him.
"Everyone, please pay attention. There is a village ahead. Let's go there to take a rest."
"Great, I can take a rest. I'm almost exhausted."
Yechen chuckled lightly and looked towards the village in front of him.
The group of people stopped at the entrance of the village and got out of the car.
Yechen looked around, frowned, and said, "Everyone, go look around. I feel like there is no one here. Be careful."
Chen Hua nodded. He also noticed something was wrong here and walked towards a house.
Ye Chen also walked into a house and saw that it was fully furnished, but there was no one there.
"Boss, there is no one here."
"There's no one here either."
Yechen turned around and walked out of the house, gathering with the others.
Hearing other people's reports, Ye Chen frowned. He always felt that something was wrong. The wind kept blowing, swaying the desert-colored grass outside.
"Boss, I have something here. Come and take a look."
Dajun called Yechen and waved to him.
Everyone followed the army and saw a large shed with grass inside.
Looking at these things, everyone frowned.
Ye Chen also understood why he felt weird before.
In the desert, most villages raise camels, and the large shed in front of Yechen is obviously used to raise camels.
But now, there are no camels here, but there is grass. There are signs of items being used not long ago in the villages outside, but there are no people.
It can only mean that all the people in the village have moved away, but why did they move? Ye Chen couldn't figure it out.
If they want to move in the desert, they must have a stronghold station established in advance, otherwise they will not abandon the village.
You know, when moving in the desert, you have to face the pouring of yellow sand and high temperature exposure at any time.
Yechen became confused and took out the map to look at it.
Their current location is still some distance away from the target location. Then they took back the map and said to the others: "Let's take a rest here today and set off again tomorrow."
Everyone nodded, looked for some useful things from the house, and then gathered together to eat something.
After eating, everyone found two houses and spread out. In a strange environment, they still need to gather together.
Early the next morning, Ye Chen woke up the others and continued to set off towards the target location.
Everyone was driving in the desert, yellow sand was flying around, and it was impossible to see the horizon at a glance.
"Boss, we have been driving in this desert for three days."
Linghu asked Ye Chen, the co-pilot.
Ye Chen nodded, not knowing what he wanted to ask again.
"Then why haven't we encountered sandstorms yet? Didn't I hear that there are many sandstorms in the desert? I still want to see them."
Linghu laughed mischievously and continued to ask Yechen.
"Damn it, Linghu, you bitch, you really got it right, look behind you."
Suddenly the sound of an army came from the car behind.
Everyone was startled by the army and turned around suddenly, only to see the sky change drastically, strong winds brought yellow sand to their faces, the world began to become gray and gloomy, and a storm suddenly appeared not far behind.
Linghu's expression suddenly changed, he stared at the sandstorm behind, and then shouted: "I was wrong! Don't really come to the sandstorm, it's so scary."
"Stop yelling and hold on to the handrails quickly. Huazi, Kong Hua, increase your power. We can rush over and we should be able to avoid it."
Yechen shouted at them.
For a moment, everyone grasped the armrests of the car. Chen Hua and Kong Hua suddenly kicked the accelerator, and the two off-road vehicles increased their horsepower and shuttled through the desert.
But the speed of sandstorms cannot be surpassed by off-road vehicles.
They saw gusts of wind carrying loess constantly hitting their faces, and the biggest storm kept approaching Yechen and the others.
"Boss, it's coming!"
The army roared towards Yechen fiercely.
Yechen was also always paying attention to the location of the sandstorm. Indeed, as Da Jun said, the sandstorm was already close at hand.
"Stop the car, everyone covers their mouths and noses with their hats, lower their heads, now, right now!"
Seeing the sandstorm getting closer, Yechen yelled at the others.
Everyone reacted immediately. Chen Hua and Kong Hua slammed on the brakes to stop the car. Then, like everyone else, they covered their mouths and noses and lowered their heads.
The strong wind roared, and the flying gravel hit the car violently, making a "ding! clang!" sound. For a moment, the sky was dark, the earth was dark, sand and rocks were flying, the wind roared, and the sand and rocks danced wildly.
Linhu, who had previously said he wanted to see a sandstorm, now buried his head as low as possible.
Now he only feels that he is an insignificant creature in front of this sandstorm. If he could do it over again, Linghu would definitely stop uttering arrogant words and start praying.
Maybe Linghu's prayers really worked. Accompanied by bursts of whistling sounds, Yechen and the others were safe and sound.
As the saying goes, sandstorms are a punishment warning from God to humans in the desert, but God will not kill all those who are in awe.
