Chapter 54 - Sandstorm

I looked at the changing sky at the end of the horizon, from gray to yellow, deep yellow, and black to yellow, and finally so terrible...

"Why did this day become so fast? Brother Xiyuan, can we still leave?" Chaoyang put his feet on my shoulders, and his whole body seemed to be hanging on me.

"It seems that I can't walk anymore." It would be difficult to encounter a town like this that can avoid sandstorms in this area of ​​100 kilometers.

"Do you remember when we were in the desert camp again? Those people said that the wind season will arrive in two weeks. It seems that this is what they call the wind season." Xiwu murmured at the yellow north.

We were really afraid of anything we were going to come. We were still stunned. The turbid wind had already flowed over and over. An endless huge mouth was surging from the north with sand and dust, swallowing every inch of land wherever we went. The momentum was like an avalanche or a tsunami. It was not yet accessible when used as the four words "turbid waves".

"Listen, what's the sound?"

Wenna was stunned by the yellow sand, and she still tenaciously distinguished carefully in the roar of the wind.

"I heard it too! It seems...sing?"

As they said this, there was really a faint song coming from the whistling wind and sand. It was a familiar and majestic tune.

"Someone is coming, many people!"

We quickly retreated into the high wall. The wind and sand were too strong, and we were no longer able to close the heavy iron doors. We could only lean behind the wall and curled up. Everyone was covered with dust. Even the faces of Liuliu were covered with a layer of loess, revealing only the black eyes, which looked more like humans.

"I don't know who is coming, Liuliu, you guys hide first!"

I sent a message to Liuliu, and more than a dozen big spiders advanced in the wind and sand with difficulty and disappeared behind the building.

Heavy trucks were heading towards us in a row. In front of them were several unique off-road vehicles, each of which was different. I couldn't recognize any of the other ones except the Unimok who was headed.

I heard the crackling sound in the darkness, which was flying sand and stones hitting the car body wantonly. Fortunately, these cars were extremely strong, and a stone the size of a goose egg was carried by the strong wind and hit the car, and it was also bounced away.

The singing came from behind the convoy, and it sounded like a large number of people and was able to compete with the roar of sand and dust.

The car stopped and we were all hiding in the leeward, waiting for the gust of demonic wind to vent. Slowly, the wind gradually weakened. Although it was still sand and dust, it was not as raging as before. At least we could walk. The people in the convoy jumped down. The camouflage uniforms they wore were very familiar to them. They were actually wearing different colors of the people in the desert camp. They all wore gas masks and couldn't see clearly.

"I see that they have the intention to come in, so observe first."

Many people jumped out of the truck sheds in the back row, all wearing the same camouflage uniforms, with marching backpacks and guns behind them. They did not wear gas masks, but only wore windglasses.

"They seem to be the people in the desert camp, why did they come here!"

I recognized the familiar face in the crowd, which was Ada, and although only half of his face was revealed, I was impressed by his signature Hollywood chin.

"Do we want to go up and say hello?"

I asked Xiwu and Chaoyang, obviously these two people's social skills are not as good as me, "Brother Xiyuan, if you want to go, I can't speak."

Without the wind as our socialites, I was still a little shy and embarrassed when facing this kind of scene that needed social interaction, but I could only walk up with a tough bullet.

"Why are you here?" Ada recognized me and rushed over excitedly and patted my arm.

"I'm just about to ask you, have you moved the entire camp?"

"Hahaha, it's almost the same. I've brought everything I can. The sandstorm has been moving forward for two days faster than the one we monitored. We haven't reached the destination yet. We can only stop here for the time being to hide. I didn't expect to meet you!"

While chatting with me, Ada stretched his head and looked at the three people behind me who were avoiding far away. I looked back. Wenna hugged her hands in front of her chest, looked down at the ground, Chaoyang squatted on the ground, clasped her hands, Xiwu was thrusting her waist, looking up at the sky forty-five degrees, smoking a cigarette. The three of them didn't plan to come over and socialize with me!

"Well, we're passing here for the time being."

"Isn't this the brother of our shelter? Hey? This is the young man who discovered the desert ship coffin!" A man walked over from the car that started, and naturally inserted the conversation between Ada and me, and extended his hand to me enthusiastically, "What mission are you doing this time?"

"No, there is no mission..." A few of us should have left the shelter secretly, so I was not confident in speaking. At this moment, I suddenly felt a little worried that the people in the shelter would not issue wanted orders to all the surrounding camps, so I would arrest us specifically!

"What's this place? It looks quite spacious. Ada, let the brothers come in and gather! We can rest here tonight."

"yes!"

Ada received the order, stood attentively, saluted her tongue, and ran away. This person should be the leader of the desert camp. He took off his mask and was a man with a vicissitudes of face. He was about fifty years old, with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and deep sockets. He looked three points of kindness, three points of shrewdness and fearlessness.

"I don't know what your name is yet."

"My name is Zhang Xiyuan, uh... I don't know what to call you?" "Just call me Lao Yang, hahaha..."

"ah..."

"It's okay, little brother, don't be restrained. Let's go in and talk."

He walked in front first, as if leading the way for us. The soldiers in camouflage uniforms at the back were all equipped and entered the high wall in an orderly manner.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and ordered the people behind him, "You can walk around the town to see if there are any surviving refugees, and gather them in."

"Yes!" A small team of people took their lives and went out.

"Is the desert camp specially responsible for rescue?" I asked Lao Yang.

"Actually, our main task is not rescue, it's just search, but there are doctors accompanying us in our team. When we encounter refugees, we will try our best to save them. You said that since you see it, if you don't take the lead, will it be that your brothers and sisters die before you? Anyway, I can't do it."

The experience of the refuge has given me a very subversive understanding of human nature. The once unfair passionate blood, I feel that I have gradually become indifferent, but Lao Yang's words seem to wake me up.

I thought disaster magnified the ugliness of human nature to the extreme. It turned out that even in adversity, there would be people with good wishes and firm efforts, and they were not trampled by people of their contemporaries. Perhaps I could become such a person.

"Report to the captain, we found a lot of people in the shed behind! But they seemed... I don't know what to say, you should go and take a look!"

Oh no! There are still a hundred living dead people lying in the shed! Why did I forget this? I didn’t expect that they would search so quickly.

I quickly looked at Wen Na and Xi Wu and the other three. The expressions on their faces were also a little panicked. All of our subtle changes were seen by Lao Yang.

He laughed dryly, "Little brother, let's go and have a look together?"

After saying that, he made a gesture of asking for help.

"It's not your fault, don't panic, calm down." Wenna sent a voice to me.

Yes, those people become like that and it has nothing to do with me, so why should I feel guilty? But how should I tell them the bizarre things that happened to these people?

I didn't say anything along the way, thinking about how to explain, but I had already arrived at the slum without realizing it. Lao Yang squatted beside those people, looking at them one by one, patting the faces without any response.

"Brother Xi Yuan, do you know what's going on?"

"Uh..." Before I could think of my reason, Ada spoke.

"Captain, look!" he said, pointing to the sections on the roof, "Is this possible? Are the sandworms we encountered? What's the trick?"
