Eight hundred and eighty-eighth chapter was buried alive
Sandstorm is the collective name for sandstorms and dust storms. In desert areas, sandstorms generally occur.
Sandstorms are terrible, and the most destructive thing is sand burial!
The so-called sand burial means that farmland, channels, cottages, railways, pastures, etc. are buried by a large amount of quicksand due to wind and sand flow, especially posing a serious threat to transportation. It is also a way for the desert to expand its territory.
One of the reasons why Populus euphratica is called the protector of the desert is that it can resist sandstorms!
In the desert, there are no farmlands, pastures, etc., but it is a great threat to people. Small sand particles hitting the body can cause physical harm, and the most dangerous sand dune movement may directly bury people alive at a depth of several meters.
meters, or even more than ten meters under the sand dunes.
Therefore, in the desert, there are no roads and no fixed environment. Whenever there is a sandstorm, the entire environment changes and is completely different from before.
Young Master Tang and the others were in danger at this time, because there were several sand dunes near where they were, and they happened to be on the same side of the sandstorm.
Since then, the sandstorm is very likely to move the sand dunes and eventually bury Mr. Tang and others alive in the sand.
It is dangerous for those who stay above, and it is not safe for those who stay below. The caves they have dug so hard will most likely be refilled by sandstorms, and eventually everyone will be buried in this desert...
If you're lucky, they might be dug out in a few months. If you're unlucky, they might turn into fossils and be hidden underneath for hundreds or thousands of years...
Sandstorms, like quicksand, are killers in the desert. Young Master Tang is coming to the desert, so he naturally knows something about these harmful things. The best way now is to hide behind the truck and wait for the sandstorm to pass.
However, there are still many people in the underground palace. They are not aware of the situation outside. Once the sandstorm buries the entrance of the cave, they will be sealed in the underground palace...
"What should we do now?" Under the crisis, Young Master Tang did not make the decision without permission, but sought Hu He's opinion.
After all, Huhe is a Mongolian, and he used to live in a grassland not far from the desert. He must have better ways to deal with sandstorms.
"Master Tang, there are only two ways now. First, we hide directly behind the pickup truck and wait for the sandstorm to pass. But if we do this, the hole we dug with so much hard work will definitely be sealed."
"I don't know how long this sandstorm will last, and I don't know if their oxygen can support our rescue. The most important thing is that there is no water or food down there. Once the entrance of the cave is sealed, we can dig again after the sandstorm passes.
It’s too late to make a hole,” Huhe said.
"What about the second method?" Young Master Tang asked.
"The second method is for us to go down, take food, water, and all the oxygen bottles, hide them all underneath, wait for the sandstorm to pass, and then dig holes from the bottom up."
"This method also has flaws. Once we cannot find the correct way out, or if we still cannot dig the hole above before the oxygen is exhausted, all of us may suffocate below!" Hu He said quickly.
There are two ways, one is to save yourself, but all the people below may die.
The other one shares the adversity with them, and everyone goes down, but if the hole is not dug out before the oxygen is used up, everyone will not survive!
When it comes to their own life safety, everyone will have doubts, and Mr. Tang is no exception. Whether to go down and share the difficulties with them, or to escape the sandstorm above in time, this is indeed a difficult choice!
"Young Master Tang, we don't have time, hurry up and make your choice." Hu He said hurriedly.
Not only Huhe, but also the rest of the people were looking at Mr. Tang, how he would choose!
"Quick, everyone, take all the oxygen in the car, bring some food, water, shovels, and frames. Let's go down to avoid the storm!" Tang Dashao said.
Oxygen is necessary for breathing down there, food and water are needed to replenish physical strength, and shovels and frames are what they need to dig holes after the storm is over!
Young Master Tang finally chose to share weal and woe!
Below are not only the group of soldiers helping him dig the hole, but also Ye Qun!
Young Master Tang could not leave him alone...
Moreover, if we go down together, Mr. Tang has special powers and can find the best path to dig holes, and the possibility of getting out alive together will be greater.
"Tang, Mr. Tang, you and Mr. Ye should not go out and take risks anymore. We can just go down. You guys get in the pickup truck and stay in the car. You should be fine," Huhe said.
"Yes, Mr. Tang, you two should stay away." Ye Jun said.
"Haha, don't worry, we'll be fine. Besides, Lao Wu is still down there. If we leave him alone, the old man won't be able to hack us when we get back." Ye Hua chuckled.
It sounds easy, but in fact, risking being buried alive and going down again is really not a decision that anyone can make!
After all, there is a pickup truck above, and it is very easy to survive this sandstorm in the car. There will be basically no danger. But if you go underground, you will most likely never come out again.
"Okay, stop talking. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and a real sandstorm is probably not far away. Move your things quickly!" Young Master Tang said.
"yes!"
Everyone looked at Young Master Tang with a different look. Regardless of whether Ye Qun was there or not, he was willing to live and die with him and the others, which shocked everyone!
After all, if we go to the underground palace together, it is very likely that everyone will die in the underground palace, and it is much better to hide in the pickup truck.
Everyone ran towards the oxygen bottle first. This was a necessity for everyone down there. Young Master Tang was very strong and ran to the entrance of the cave with two buckets of water, threw them directly in, and then took some food.
Throw it in.
Seeing Young Master Tang's actions, others also learned to throw away the oxygen bottles. Of course, the oxygen bottles could not be thrown away, as it would be terrible if they exploded.
The people in the underground palace were still cutting stone slabs and were not aware of what was happening outside. They just heard the sound of banging and banging at the entrance of the cave, which made them feel a little strange.
The sandstorm came quickly, but within a few minutes, the black wind in the distance was already visible to the naked eye.
"Quick, everyone get out of the cave immediately, the black wind is coming, hurry, hurry, hurry!" Huhe shouted loudly.
When everyone saw this, they hurriedly ran towards the cave. The cave was also tens of meters deep. Fortunately, it was not straight forward, but had a slope going downwards. In this way, all they had to do was run down quickly along the slope.
Everyone entered the cave, and Young Master Tang and the others sorted out the things they had thrown away before.
"Master Tang, I suggest that you block the entrance to the cave first. In this way, the wind will not be able to blow in, and the sand will only block the upper cave at most, while the underground section can still be preserved." Hu He said.
"Well, that's a good idea. Let's dig the soil from the side. The dug-out mound will block the cave!" Young Master Tang nodded after hearing this.
At this time, the people inside also came out, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Young Master Tang's actions...
"Xiao Liuzi, what are you doing? How can we get out if you block the entrance of the cave?" Ye Qun said.
"There is a dark wind blowing outside right now. We can't do it without blocking it. The wind will blow into the ground, carrying sand with it, and eventually the entire underground palace will be buried." Young Master Tang shook his head.
"Black wind? What is that?" Ye Qun asked confused.
"It's a sandstorm!" Ye Jun explained.
"What, a sandstorm? There's a sandstorm blowing up there? Why haven't we received any news?" Ye Qun frowned.
"Maybe no one pays attention to this. Anyway, don't talk about it. Block the entrance of the cave first. When the sandstorm passes, we can dig out from here." Tang Dashao said.
"Well, why did you two come down and do what? If there wasn't a pickup truck up there, wouldn't it be fine if you just sat in the car?" Ye Qun frowned.
"Master Qun, Master Tang and others don't trust you!" Ye Jun said.
He is the old man's personal guard, and he is very familiar with Ye Qun. There are certain things that only he can say!
Ye Qun's nose felt sour when he heard this. It was definitely not safe to stay in the car. After all, once this place is blocked, the oxygen below may not be enough. In this way, if the channel cannot be dug before the oxygen is consumed, it is extremely dangerous.
Something might happen...
"Okay, everyone is down. Let's go over first, call everyone in the underground palace down, and then block the entrance to the underground palace. From now on, at the critical moment, the air in this passage can still hold up for a while."
"Everyone, please don't move around unless necessary. Maintain your strength and save oxygen. We don't know how long we will stay underground!" Ye Hua said.
"I'll go up there and call someone," Ye Jun said.
"Well, go ahead. Everyone, please turn off the flashlights first. Just turn them on temporarily to save some electricity. Maybe it will be used." Young Master Tang said.
"Haha, in fact, the most important thing for us is oxygen. The water and food should be enough for us to live underground for two or three days. We just don't know when the sandstorm above will pass." Ye Qun said.
"Well, actually we don't have to wait for the sandstorm to pass before digging. We can dig during the process, as long as we don't dig completely." Young Master Tang nodded.
After a while, Lin Xuan and others also came down from above. Everyone was crowded in the passage. Many people were already on the walls of the cave, reducing their activities and saving oxygen consumption.
"Young Master Tang, we are down. The cave in the underground palace has been blocked." Lin Xuan said.
"Well, okay, let's be careful here first, take a rest and wait for the sandstorm to pass." Tang Dashao said.
"Well, there is no other way now. It's really unlucky that we encountered a sandstorm at this time." Lin Xuan said depressedly.
"Haha, fortunately we went up to take a look just now and discovered the sandstorm in time, otherwise the consequences would be really disastrous..." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
There is not enough oxygen, no water, and no food down there. It is impossible for them to get out alive no matter what...
