After getting off the ramp of the G22 Expressway, 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 it, this road was blocked by them again, I'll have to find another way." Blackhand 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.
If you can get around them, try to get around them.
With their abilities, 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.
Because they retreated in time, they drove their vehicles and left the place quickly before the guards on the wall could react.
Black Hand looked at the map and said, "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 and 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, which were seven to eight meters high, blocking the way.
"Grass!"
Seeing the seven-eight-meter-high pile of cars 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 on 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!" Blackhand 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 the time came to 2:30 in the afternoon.
Soon they arrived at the suburbs, where the dirt roads were full of gravel and dust.
It was very bumpy for them to sit in the 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 inspected 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.
When Black Hand saw this, he smiled and said, "That's right, that's what happened 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." Blackhand looked at the map and 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 car accidents.
But there is no need to worry in the apocalypse, there are not many cars on the road, so just drive as you like.
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 against the car windows.
It hasn't rained here for several 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.
There were many scrapped vehicles on this highway, and there were bloodstains on these vehicles. The bloodstains were covered with dust, making it hard to see clearly.
There were also scattered bullet holes, and it looked 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 so suddenly, please close all the windows."
"Oh, okay." Blackhand quickly rolled up the car window.
In just a short while, a thin layer of sand and dust was already spread inside the car.
Zheng Shiwu turned on the wiper and tried to scrape the sand from the glass.
But the effect doesn't seem to be very good.
Ping ping ping ping ping, some finely divided sand and gravel hit the windshield, making crisp impact sounds.
The wind and sand came too suddenly. Where they were now, there was no village in front of them, no store behind them, and no place to park and take shelter.
Wuwuwu——
The wind and sand outside the car window were blowing louder and louder, like the shrill cries of evil spirits.
The sky suddenly turned dark.
Sandstorms were raging in the sky like yellow dragons, and the sky and the earth were dim.
On the highway, the car bumps forward like a lonely boat in the sea of sand.
The wind and sand violently slapped the car window, making a "pop-pop" sound, as if countless ghost hands were scratching the car body in a mischievous manner.
rub!
As a last resort, Zheng Shiwu had no choice but to turn on the car lights.
It's only around four o'clock in the evening, and it usually gets dark a few hours later in the northwest than in cities in the east.
What the headlights illuminated ahead was nothing but sand, sand, sand, endless.
In the car, Zheng Shiwu held the steering wheel tightly and stared at the blurry road ahead.
Suddenly, a stronger gust of wind and sand hit, and the car shook violently. Zheng Shiwu's hands gripped the steering wheel more tightly.
"No, we can't go any further. Let's find a place to stop here." Zheng Shiwu vaguely saw several scrapped vehicles parked on the roadside in front of him through the windshield, so he drove over there.
There is still a row of remaining protective forest on the right side, which should be able to start working.
Blackhand turned on the car lights, looked at the map and said: "We have 30 kilometers to go to Guxian. We will be there in an hour. How about we go to Guxian."
"No, didn't you feel the body shaking just now? It would be too dangerous to drive any further." Zheng Shiwu replied.
The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger at this moment.
Even though the wipers kept turning, they still couldn't block the incoming sand and dust.
The Tengger Desert is 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 view.
It would be even more troublesome if they drove off the highway because they couldn't see the road clearly.
Crunch!
Zheng Shiwu stopped the car and said to Black Hand: "You wait in the car while I hammer the nails. I don't know if the wind and sand will get bigger..."
"No, just wait."
The black hand held Zheng Shiwu's arm,
"I have a serious discussion with you. First of all, we don't know when the wind and sand will pass. If we don't leave now, we will stay here tonight."
"Although there are fewer zombies here in the northwest, there must be some. We are not safe in the car!"
"Second, if the sandstorm lasts for a few days, we will be trapped here."
Zheng Shiwu thought for a while, stopped and turned off the wiper.
Pointing to the wind and sand outside, he said:
"Are you going to drive?"
The wind and sand hit the windshield violently. In just a few seconds, the windshield was covered with a layer of sand and dust, making it impossible to see ahead.
"How can we drive when the wipers are on and we can't see the road clearly? What if we hit something or deviate from the route?"
"I also want to go to Guxian, but I have no choice now!"
Black Hand looked at the wind and sand outside the windshield, frowning and still couldn't think of a solution.
If it's a heavy rain, it's easy to handle, the rain will flow down, but the wind and sand thing...
The black hand silently stepped across the center armrest box and rummaged behind it for floor nails and ropes.
After searching for a while, he finally found four ground nails and the ground nailing equipment.
"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 his clothes to the highest position.
Gloves and shoes were checked.
After the two of them were fully prepared, they nodded, opened the car door and walked out.
However, after the car door was opened, the wind was so strong that the car door could not be pulled or closed.
What's even more terrifying is that neither of them could stand firmly outside the car.
The two of them could only hold the door handle to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
Moreover, it was difficult for them to exert their strength under the blowing wind and sand outside.
Damn it!
The black hand was blown away by the wind and wanted to curse.
Zheng Shiwu returned to the car, holding the car door with one hand and the car frame with the other.
He put all his strength into the car and pulled it inward.
He was fighting against the terrifying wind, and the car door was pulled forward little by little.
Boom!
Finally closed.
"Come up here, stop driving nails, there's no way!"
Zheng Shiwu yelled at Black Hand.
The black hand was still standing outside the car, pushing the door of the car, pushing it in with all his strength.
The wind suddenly became stronger, his feet slipped, and he quickly grabbed the door handle.
It was almost blown away by the wind.
If it is blown away by the wind, you will not be able to crawl back.
Because the wind and sand were so strong, they couldn't hear each other clearly.
In desperation, Zheng Shiwu had no choice but to step over to the passenger seat and make a comeback gesture towards Black Hand.
Black Hand saw his gesture, understood, turned around, and moved little by little into the car.
"Why did you close the car door?" Blackhand asked.
Since the car door was open and both of them were wearing helmets, neither could hear the other.
Blackhand 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 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 drove with the greatest strength in his life.
He closed the car door forcefully.
As the car 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. Because there was sand in his eyes, tears could not stop flowing down.
"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 have missed the best time to lay nails!" Zheng Shiwu took off his helmet.
, said somewhat speechlessly.
In just a few minutes, his whole 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 kept rubbing his eyes and said.
"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 I put some water in the palm of my hand, put my eyes against the palm of my hand, and slowly spread the sand.
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, and with the various supplies and fuel on board, the total weight of him and Black Hand can reach 4 tons.
4 tons should be relatively safe.
If something weighing four tons could be blown up by wind and sand, that would be an exaggeration!
"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, then scraped the sand blown in from the front of the car with his hands and put it inside.
"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, lay on it, and put his hands behind the back of his head.
