Chapter 243 [Salon Volume] (1)
Although Martha's current condition is a little weak, her mind has recovered from sane. When she learned about what had happened before, she was more grateful to everyone and more love to Arnold. Although she is not a very smart girl, she is never stupid. She already understands Arnold's feelings for her.
Martha is now lonely and her only comfort in her heart is the Quran that she has worked hard to get. She finally gave some explanations to her father and his tribe members who have given their lives.
Arnold handed her the kettle: "Drink some water, your lips are dry."
Martha raised her head and looked at Arnold, showing a smile, with a smile on her face. Arnold briefly told Martha about what happened during this period and said softly: "I have to go find Luo Lie, we can't give up any friend."
Martha's eyes showed a little guilt. She was not unwilling to go looking for Luo Lie with her companions, but she still had the heavy responsibility on her shoulders. She first had to send the "Quran" she had obtained with hard work back to the tribe. She hesitated for a moment and reached out to grab Arnold's big hand. Her soft and slippery little hand made Arnold's body tremble. He raised his head, and showed an excited expression on his face. Then he mustered up the courage to embrace Martha in his arms and looked for Martha's lips, but found that Martha lowered her head. This posture made his next move impossible. Martha whispered: "Can you go with me?"
Arnold's sharp rise in body temperature quickly cooled down due to her words, and he was confused: "Why?"
Martha said, "It's useless. Even if we all stay, we can't change anything. We just sacrifice a few more people. Arnold, let's go, you and I will go back to the tribe..."
"No!" Arnold's voice was not loud, but he just let go of Martha. The smile on his face had disappeared. Martha's words made him feel cold. Even if she had her own reasons, did she forget who rescued her several times, who helped her find the Quran, and Luo Lie's life and death were uncertain. How could she ask to leave at this time?
Martha realized that she had disappointed Arnold, so she threw herself into Arnold's arms and hugged him tightly and said, "Ano, I know you want to save people, but I am the same, but this Quran is extremely important to me and the entire tribe. My father and so many tribe members have sacrificed their lives for it. I can't make any mistakes, and I must take it back in full.
Arnold nodded and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Martha shook her head with tears on her face and said, "I should be the one who said sorry."
Arnold said: "I mean, I'm afraid I can't send you back to the tribe."
"What is the place below?" Lan Ximei said loudly.
Luo Lie said: "Tian Temple!" He clearly remembered that the place of Tian Temple was located below, but from the sky, he only saw a large area of desert, and could not find any buildings. In fact, Tian Temple was originally hidden under a piece of yellow sand. Although Luo Lie had a good memory, the wind started to rise when they flew above this area, and the visibility was very poor, which made the area that was already difficult to identify even worse. He recalled that the place they left was in a canyon in Helan Mountain, so he explained to Lan Ximei and directed her to control the plane to continue flying north.
Lan Ximei nodded and was about to fly in the direction Luo Lie knew, but two sand pillars quickly swam towards them from the foot of Helan Mountain. It was the weather commonly known by the locals. It was a unique phenomenon formed by the tornado swept through the sand and dust in this area, but it was rare to see it on weekdays.
It was almost dusk, and two yellow dragons were chasing each other, chasing each other. Below the two tornadoes, the height on the ground was about ten meters, and the height on the ground was covered by rolling yellow sand.
Lan Ximei frowned. I wonder if it was a coincidence or their luck was too bad. Now, going to the area Luo Lie mentioned was obviously irresponsible for his own life. If he forced himself to break through, he would inevitably meet the harsh sandstorm head-on, which would affect his vision. If he was involved in the core of the storm, the two of them would likely face the fate of destroying people.
Luo Lie also realized the danger. In this situation, he chose to temporarily avoid subtlety and wait until the storm was over before looking for an exit.
Lan Ximei controlled the plane to rotate sideways and skillfully turned the fuselage. However, the moment she turned around, the two yellow dragons behind her had been entangled together, forming a huge salon with a diameter of about ten meters. The speed of movement increased rapidly, and the salon was chasing the plane as if it was spiritual.
Luo Lie screamed in secret, and it was not surprising that a tornado appeared, but at this time, this area appeared, and the salon was clearly coming for them. He did not urge Lan Ximei. Lan Ximei had already recognized their current dangerous situation and its flight speed had increased to the maximum. She hoped to get rid of the salon that was chasing her relentlessly as soon as possible.
After a while, the tornado changed again. The growing diameter of the tornado had reached an astonishing twenty meters in a short period of time. Wherever the tornado went, sand and dust filled the sky and the sun were covered. Suddenly, the huge tornado split from it and became two parts again.
Luo Lie kept looking back, observing the changes in the tornado while silently estimating the distance between them. The salon did not slow down due to the splitting speed this time, but continued to increase. Luo Lie couldn't help but become nervous. Judging from the current situation, it won't take long to get caught up with these two tornados.
Lan Ximei's voice rang in front of her, and she shouted: "Are you afraid?"
Luo Lie laughed out loud: "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't you accompanying me?" The main meaning of his laughter was to give Lan Ximei psychological comfort in this way.
Lan Ximei said, "Okay, let's be a pair of miserable couples who share life and death."
Luo Lie did not object. If he was destined to escape this disaster, he could only do this. He quietly took out his escape pen. At the critical moment of life and death, he still had to rely on its power. Looking back at the salon behind him, he found that the two strands had fissioned again. The two strands just now had turned into four strands. From a distance, they looked like four giant pillars standing tall. However, their speed should have reached the extreme. Although they were not pulled long by the plane, they could not continue to get closer.
Luo Lie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. According to this trend, perhaps they could escape the tracking of the salons behind. A pale face suddenly appeared in his mind, and a bitter resentful voice came from deep in his brain: "You want to die, you all want to die!"
Luo Lie felt a chill in his heart, and he kept his heart. His powerful consciousness dispelled the illusion that suddenly invaded his brain, and the resentful voice turned into a sad scream again.
Luo Lie couldn't help but shivered, and Lan Ximei's scream pulled him back to reality from a moment of trance. In front of the plane, a sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun suddenly formed. At first, the yellow sand seemed to be on which surface, but in a flash, it had already radiated into the air. In just a blink of an eye, it could no longer tell where the sky was and where the earth was. The world ahead was in chaos. The strong wind swept through the friction between the sand and the sky, resulting in a low roar like a giant beast. The roar made the whole world tremble.
Through the goggles, Lan Ximei saw a wall slowly forming in front of the plane. This wall made of yellow sand connects the world and sweeping towards them like a surging wave. Lan Ximei felt that her whole body was trembling. This trembling was not because of fear, but because the plane felt the impact of wind and sand. She had already reacted so violently before she was involved in the sand wave. If the plane was swept into the sand wave, the plane would probably completely disintegrate and become fragmented.
It should be said that not only planes, but also their bodies cannot escape the consequences of being torn apart by wind and sand.
Luo Lie yelled: "Change!" In fact, while he was speaking, Lan Ximei had already made the same reaction. As the actual operator of the plane, she knew better than Luo Lie. If she just flew forward, once she was involved in the sand waves, they would never have a chance to escape. In comparison, they would have a higher chance of turning back and flying back to escape. Although there is a salon behind, there is relatively little gap to drill than the airtight sand wall in front. As long as the plane is controlled to leave from the gap between the tornadoes, they may escape.
The plan is different from reality. In fact, they didn't even have time to plan. Seeing Lan Ximei's actions, Luo Lie decided not to speak anymore. He did not want to cause any interference to Lan Ximei, especially at this time, only by focusing on what is in front of him can a person seize the fleeting opportunity to escape. No one would joke about his life, and so did Lan Ximei.
The plane is like a lonely leaf floating in the air, hovering in the air, flexibly avoiding the sand and dust coming from all sides, rising and falling. Only the driver knows the pain of manipulation and the great tests they face.
Lan Ximei no longer cares about other things. She focuses on the joystick of the plane. She holds the joystick with both hands, and her body trembles violently. She feels that her bones are about to be shaken and she can't see the way forward. She can only judge the direction of the flight based on the thickness of the sand and dust. It seems that a pair of invisible big hands are constantly shaking and tearing the plane, trying to pull the plane away and throw them out of the plane.
Lan Ximei bit her lip hard, trying her best to resist the invisible force. The wind blew the heavy sand and dust on the plane. Even the air in the cabin became more and more depressing and heavier. They were pressed in the cabin and could not breathe. Suddenly, the two of them felt their chests relax at the same time, as if the stone pressed on their chest was taken away, but then a larger stone pressed on them.
Lan Ximei screamed, "Sit down!"
Luo Lie did not hear what she was saying, but immediately felt the changes in the plane. Lan Ximei controlled the plane straight upward, flew upward at a nearly vertical angle, and accelerated the sprint. At this time, only by going upwards could it be possible to break through the cover of sand and dust. According to common sense, the more the sand and dust went down, the greater the concentration.
The eyes suddenly lit up, but the plane rushed out of the thick sand and dust just now. Before they could relax, they saw dozens of twisted salons gathering around them from all directions.
The plane flew up vertically and gradually flattened, and had already become horizontal before rushing into the array of salons. Lan Ximei controlled the fuselage to rotate, turning counterclockwise to the left side ninety degrees, and the plane flew sideways, passing through the gap between the two salons.
