Chapter 404: Time of Crisis
A few minutes ago.
Xia Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the communication sound from the communication device.
Fortunately, the worst situation did not occur.
Hematite comes from Guangweiyi, and the probability of higher civilizations on this planet is suddenly reduced by a huge amount.
"drop!"
A crisp reminder also sounded inside the planet landing car.
[Current external wind speed: 25km/h!]
Xia Wanyi, sitting in the passenger seat, was stunned.
She remembered that the wind speed was still 20km/h just now?
Although she was not sure about the reason, she still felt a faint sense of vigilance.
On this dawn star with a large atmosphere density far exceeding the Earth, any change in wind speed will attract the attention of these crew members.
The next moment.
Feng Yuanliang's loud shout came from the communication device!
“…Run! Run!!”
Xia Wanyi's body trembled suddenly, and her heart, which was originally a little relaxed, was lifted up again.
She quickly raised her head and turned her eyes to her two teammates a hundred meters away.
Perhaps because of the increasing wind speed, more yellow sand fell on the stone walls.
In the yellow sand, two figures appeared and disappeared.
It can be seen that with the help of the exoskeleton armor, they quickly grabbed the drilling equipment on the ground and ran quickly towards the planetary landing vehicle.
"Academician Feng, what happened?!"
Before she could think about it, she turned on the communication equipment and asked Feng Yuanliang for inquiries, while unbuttoning the seat belt on the co-pilot and turning over to crawl towards the main driver beside her.
"Swish..." Perhaps it is due to wind and sand. The electromagnetic wave communication signal is no longer stable, and waves of current sounds are also emitted in the communication device.
At this time, Xia Wanyi was already sitting in the main driver.
She quickly tied up her seat belt and skillfully turned several switches on the console.
[Switched to the over-distance communication channel, the communication protocol switched successfully.]
[Planetary landing vehicle is in the process of starting...]
【Power mode switching…】
Several faint words appear in the holographic projection.
“…Earth calls on the Exploration Team No. 19, please answer when you receive it.”
Fang Xu's voice came from the communication device.
"Academician Fang, you said!" As he said that, Xia Wanyi stepped on the "throttle".
The buzzing sound of the engine came from the soles of the feet.
The powerful recoil instantly pressed everyone tightly on the seat!
"An emergency situation!" Fang Xu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xia Wanyi's response, "The storm is about to form, and the team members will be taken back immediately!"
Xia Wanyi responded immediately without any hesitation: "Yes!"
"Bruno, go to the airlock cabin and prepare to pick it up!"
"Joey, locate the nearest shelter from the map!"
“…”
After a series of orders were issued, she pursed her lips vigorously and stared at the team members in the distance.
Under the endless yellow sand, the figures of the two seemed particularly weak.
...
【Current wind speed: 39km/h】
【Exoskeleton Armor Power Output: 99%】
[Dangerous! Please return to the planetary landing car immediately!]
The bright red warning text keeps flashing in the display of the helmet.
Hong Fan ignored it and just squatted down, controlling the exoskeleton armor and grabbed the drilling rod in front of him.
"quick!"
His eyes were bloodied as he looked at the planet landing car that was coming towards him quickly. His face turned red, and several thick blue veins burst out from his neck. He roared in a low voice: "Quick!!"
【warn!!】
【Current wind speed: 41km/h!】
【Exoskeleton Armor Power Output: 100%!】
The number in the ar display jumps again.
"Click..."
Hong Fan heard a slight sound from the exoskeleton armor.
In the communication device, Andrew's shout came: "Captain Hong!!"
"The drilling rod can't stand it anymore!!"
Hong Fan turned his head suddenly and looked in Andrew's direction.
Perhaps because of the soil, Andrew's drilling rod had already slight inclination.
Moreover, the inclination is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Hong Fan quickly glanced at the direction of the planetary landing car.
Due to the increase in wind speed, compared with the original, the speed of the planetary landing vehicle travels significantly lower.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"Hong Fan! Hold on for another 5 seconds!"
Xia Wanyi's voice came from the communication device: "It only takes five seconds!!"
Through the yellow sand in the sky, Hong Fan could vaguely see that the hatch door on the side of the planetary landing vehicle had been opened!
"Captain Hong!!!" Andrew's voice was filled with horror.
Hong Fan turned his head again.
Countless yellow sand and fine gravel poured onto the helmet like raindrops, making waves of ping-pong sounds.
Although he knew that something would happen to the helmet, the scene in front of him still made him extremely shocked!
Through the gravel and fine sand like the rain curtain, Hong Fan saw Andrew's condition clearly.
With just a glance, his heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.
The tilt angle of the drill rod in front of Andrew has reached its limit!
In order to reduce wind resistance, Andrew's body lay as much as possible on the ground, with his helmet transparently facing Hong Fan.
Although I couldn't see clearly what he looked in the helmet, Andrew looked at himself with hope in front of Hong Fan.
"grass!"
"Fuck!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.
The next moment, he let go of one of the hand holding the drill rod and stretched out to Andrew ahead!
"Andrew!"
"Come!!"
The short and powerful words in the communication device made a glimmer of hope ignite in Andrew's heart!
He raised his head and quickly observed the terrain.
The wind comes from the front, that is, the a2 plain.
Hong Fan was behind him, and as for the planetary landing car, behind Hong Fan, that is, in the direction of the A1 plain.
According to the current wind speed growth trend, even if he arrives next to Hong Fan, their exoskeleton armor will not last long!
What's more, as the wind speed increases, the speed of the planetary landing vehicle will also decrease again.
The original five seconds may be extended to ten seconds and fifteen seconds!
As one goes up and down, there is only one way to die!
He lowered his head and looked at the sand in front of him, a crazy idea gradually emerged in his mind.
You must not sit still and wait for death!
They have to take the initiative!
"Captain Hong, I have an idea..."
Time was urgent, and he quickly explained his thoughts.
Hong Fan glanced at the wind speed that was increasing again in the ar display, then looked at the planetary landing vehicle whose forward speed slowed down again, and immediately said: "Okay!"
"A gamble!"
Chapter completed!
