Chapter 243 Sandstorm
[Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City]
It only took a minute or two for the sky to turn from blue to completely covered with clouds. First, the wind picked up. Even through the car, you could feel the howling wind.
When the sky completely darkened, the air outside the car became visibly turbid and filled with rolling clouds of dust.
The earth-yellow sand dust poured heavily onto the car glass, and the car body seemed to be continuously hit by countless small stones, making a crackling sound. The rolling wheels were no longer smooth, as if countless gravels were being swept into the bottom of the wheels.
, even the car body began to shake.
The visibility outside was getting lower and lower, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly due to the flying sand and rocks. Everyone unanimously decided to stop temporarily and wait until the sandstorm passed before continuing to drive.
There are no roads anywhere in the Gobi, and the surrounding area is vast, with not even a rock to hide from. Fortunately, Lin Wu and Tang Yatong's bound weapons have protective barriers.
The jeep stopped on the spot and turned off the engine. Lin Wu opened the arc of the weapon, and a translucent arc of light appeared outside the jeep. The car that was originally crackling with sand and dust fell silent instantly, and the sand and dust were blocked outside the shield.
, the jeep becomes an absolutely safe place.
"How about it, does it cost a lot of defense points?" You Xi knew that such a shield relied on defense cards loaded with weapons, and the points of the defense cards would be reduced to varying degrees according to external attacks and collisions.
Before Lin Wu could answer, Tang Yatong spoke: "The impact of such a strong sandstorm is very strong. I also have a defensive shield. Let's take turns, once every half an hour, so as not to exhaust all the defenses by one person, which would be very uncomfortable."
convenient."
The boss's sister spoke, but Lin Wu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
The sandstorm lasted for several hours. Outside the shield, the entire world was swallowed up by the earthy yellow sand, but inside the jeep, the spicy smell of hot pot floated.
You Xi set up a small table in the back seat and cooked two self-heating hot pots of different flavors. Lin Wu took out a box of fried raw meat, a box of fresh meat soup dumplings, a box of sliced braised beef and a cold dish.
, Tang Yatong looked at his twenty item slots and sighed, feeling that his friends would not be interested in military ration bags and compressed biscuits and canned meat.
I personally waited until the self-heating hot pot was ready, moved the small table to the middle of the driver's area, and discussed what to do next while having lunch.
They still have plenty of time left, so they can take a look inside through the high wall.
At present, You Xi has two stations left, Lin Wu has one station left, and Tang Yatong has two stations left. In other words, everyone has tickets to board the train this time, so there is no need to worry, but when it comes to the next station, Lin Wu will have to
Mainly looking for tickets.
Therefore, when they went to the other side of the high wall this time, they also wanted to see if any prompt tasks would be triggered, to get rewards, and whether they would get tickets.
Although passengers will fight for tickets every time they enter the station platform, and they may fight back to obtain tickets - like You Xi's extra station ticket and Lin Wu's ticket this time, they were obtained in this way, but
After all, it depends on luck.
If you don't get a valid ticket at the last hour, you will be dead.
They cannot bet all their hopes on the last hour, nor do they want to be like other passengers who, in order to survive, lurk on the platform and actively attack others, so the best way is to wander around the station as much as possible.
Trigger prompt tasks, get more rewards, and increase the chance of getting tickets.
However, when the discussion reached this point, You Xi suddenly looked at the translucent shield outside the car window in front and became quiet.
"What's wrong?" Tang Yatong felt something strange about her.
You Xi slowly frowned: "Except for you and Lin Wu, I have never seen other travelers using similar defensive shields. Although everyone has different skills, in general, you and Lin Wu seem to be from the same faction.
, while other travelers are not.”
"You mean...the other passengers are not like missionaries of the System Tower? Are they the natives of this entire endless train world?"
"It feels like a world in a bottle. The person in the bottle doesn't know that he is actually the object of others' viewing." Lin Wu said in a deep voice.
You Xi continued: "So, our abilities and space have been greatly weakened, probably in order to lower our ability level to a level similar to other passengers. Have you ever seen Infinite Flow?"
Lin Wu:??
Tang Yatong:??
You Xi understood. Neither a military doctor nor a career-oriented woman had ever been exposed to this field.
She now has another guess in her mind, but she won't be able to explain it for a while, and she can't be sure yet. She has to wait until more Easter egg fragments are found later.
At the end of the personal lunch, other passengers appeared outside the shield. They were a team of seven or eight people. Because none of them had a car, they were all wrapped up and trudging forward in the sandstorm.
They quickly discovered the translucent shield and could clearly see the jeep inside. Whether it was this magical light film or the jeep inside, it was what they needed most at the moment.
Several people first called the people in the car from outside through the shield, lowering their posture and asking them to open the light film and let them in to escape the sandstorm.
They said for a while that someone in the team was injured and weak, and then said that their boarding time was coming soon. The weather was so bad that they might not be able to get to the high wall in time. They also said that if the other party was worried, the two teams could temporarily
Form a team and your teammates will avoid injuries and can help each other.
However, no matter what they said, the Youxi people did not respond.
Not to mention that the jeep cannot accommodate these seven or eight people. Even if they are willing to open the shield to let the other party in, there is no guarantee that the other party will not fall out in the next second because they covet their car and shield. After all, adding teammates requires the consent of both parties.
But neither of them wanted to get into trouble with each other over this matter and waste time arguing back and forth.
Tang Yatong glanced at the front of the car and found that the sandstorm was a little smaller than before. At least she could see the road ahead clearly. So she asked Lin Wu to restart the car and prepare to leave under the protection of the shield.
However, the car had only driven less than a hundred meters when the shield behind it burst into flames.
Lin Wu braked and the people in the car looked back. Among the weak passengers who had lowered their posture not long ago, someone took out a rocket launcher and aimed it at them over his shoulder with great arrogance. The rocket that had just exploded
The fire is like a flying rocket launcher.
In the world of endless trains, passengers have always believed that leaving without a fight is a sign of weakness, and people with strong attack capabilities simply don't bother to escape.
Translated into simple words: fat sheep, you can start.
The people looked at each other and said, OK, they were thinking about where to go to get more tickets, but now someone has delivered them to their door.
"Get ready, put the car away." As soon as You Xi finished speaking, the jeep disappeared.
Lin Wu took over the shield work and protected him firmly. Tang Yatong threw a Gatling and a few strings of bullets to You Xi, indicating that she didn't need to save and let go. She touched the MP5 in her hand.
, and smiled at the group of passengers looking at him from outside the shield.
other side:……
Ah, why do I have a bad premonition...
Half an hour later, the jeep was back on the road, leaving the battlefield behind it far behind.
You Xi and Tang Yatong deliberately gave several passengers the opportunity to make a final blow to Lin Wu. Finally, the ticket resources were dropped from the third passenger. At the same time, Lin Wu's item slots were expanded to 12, and he also got a
The special skill of "Copy".
This skill has no site restrictions and no cooling time, but it can only be used once, and after that, the skill disappears.
The scope of "replication" is all non-living organisms.
When the remaining passengers saw such a ferocious man, they knew they were in trouble and quickly used their special skills to escape.
You Xi and the others did not pursue, took out the jeep again, and headed north under the protection of the shield.
An hour later, the sandstorm slowly ended, and the sky above the Gobi became clear and blue again.
Everyone took turns driving. Because I was attacked by a mutated desert creature at night, I didn't stay any longer. I left overnight and arrived outside the high wall a day later.
Looking closely, the high black wall stood in front of them like a majestic mountain wall, towering into the clouds and stretching for hundreds of kilometers in both directions.
Mutated creatures are blocked out.
The construction technology of the fence is obviously higher than the current technological level of this site. Various weapons are mounted on the wide fence, but due to the lack of energy and bullets, most of them are just decorations now.
However, the wall itself is strong enough, and with the addition of the hidden station, even the most ferocious travelers will not deliberately damage the high wall.
You Xi took out his mobile phone and confirmed the station. Everyone received a notification on his mobile phone.
For the remaining ten days, they still chose to sneak into the wall to take a look.
Speaking of which, it is not difficult to sneak into the wall. There are several passable passages in the middle of the high wall. You need to walk up the stairs on the wall to a height of about four or five stories. The passage is only about two people wide.
There are many sentries placed there, and someone needs to let them pass before they can pass.
Most of the people inside the wall will not come out, but will venture out of the wall. Most of them have some connections and will trade with people outside the wall at a fixed time.
As for the items traded, there are all kinds of items, including fuel, food, venom from scorpions and horned vipers, and even beautiful girls from the exiles... The prices are also set by the people inside the wall.
There are neither surveillance nor high-tech weapons here. Travelers with various skills can find ways to sneak in as long as they have the ability.
The Youxi people targeted a person who was going out for trading, threatened and beat him, followed him in, and disappeared immediately after leaving a few packages of instant noodles.
The world inside the wall is still desolate, with ruins and remnants of former buildings everywhere. It is very similar to the second world country in Youxi's native world that is always at war.
People set up stalls on dilapidated streets and settled in buildings with missing walls. There was no clean water or green plants around, and the ground was covered with earthy yellow sand.
It is said that a small number of powerful people live in the green Eden in the north, where there is an oasis with clear water, plump animals and fresh fruits.
But the resources there are firmly in the hands of a few people and are out of reach of ordinary people living outside.
You Xi and others once climbed to the heights of the ruins of the building and looked through binoculars. Sure enough, there was a touch of green in the extreme north. This green was particularly eye-catching in the earthy yellow world.
They speculated that if travelers went there, new hidden tasks might be triggered and rewards could be obtained.
But most travelers don't have enough time, and few go there.
The Youxi people now had two-stop tickets and no shortage of supplies, so they did not move forward any further. After that, they hid in the city, found a dilapidated room in a secluded high place, and spent the remaining time quietly.
Remaining time: 1 hour, 0 minutes and 0 seconds.
Their mobile phones vibrated at the same time. They had been waiting outside the high wall for a long time. They followed the arrow instructions on the mobile phone screen and walked in through a doorway at the bottom of the high wall that looked like an abandoned storage room.
