Chapter 1251 1251. Wind, Gale (55)

There are a total of eight cars, each car can carry eight people, but they carry a lot of luggage, and there are four to six people in each car.

The eight behemoths roared wildly, rushing northward along the highway with the momentum of Godzilla landing.

Going a thousand miles here is all the way to the end of the world.

The infrastructure in Siberia is very average. The city and its surroundings are not bad. The roads have been repaired. After going deep into the wasteland, there will be no roads soon.

In this vast area, some cities are not connected by roads, which shows Russia's financial distress. Compared with the United States and China, the local infrastructure is poor enough.

If they were driving an ordinary car, they probably would have no way to go after leaving the road, but sitting on these giants, even if there is no road on the tundra, it is still smooth.

That day, they didn't have nowhere to go as soon as they drove out of the city. After driving for more than five hours, they got away from the urban area and really entered the Siberian wasteland. At this time, they encountered the dilemma of nowhere to go.

Of course, if they go directly to the Evenki Autonomous Region, they are not completely lost. Li Du and the others wanted to go to the wasteland to see if they could meet some ivory hunters and ask them about the black snake.

The car was equipped with a satellite positioning system, and when it was turned on, there were road guides on it, and it drove across the mountains and ridges in the wasteland.

They were unlucky, the sun was still shining in the morning, but suddenly the sky turned dark at noon.

Li Du asked, "Will there be heavy snow?"

Woody, who was sitting in the same car with him, had a serious expression on his face. He stared out of the car window for a while and said, "No, the weather should show strong winds and no rain or snow."

Li Du heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the road conditions won't be bad without rain and snow."

At this time, they were already far away from the nearest city, and the car entered the flat tundra. The ground in these places was full of small gravel and muddy water mixed with ice, and the car was very difficult to walk.

Li Du looked out through the window, but he didn't see any green, only some big and small balls of fluff rolling slowly on the ground.

He had done his homework before coming and knew the identities of these balls of fluff.

This is tumbleweed, also known as Russian thorn sand, an annual herb with a height ranging from 10 cm to 100 cm, belonging to semi-shrubs or shrubs.

As the name suggests, tumbleweeds are dry grass that can be blown and rolled by the wind. They are shaped like a ball, or a large grass ball covered with dry, thin branches and leaves.

Most people call it the "vagrant" of the grassland, which is more common in the Siberian wasteland. When the drought comes, they will gather their roots from the soil, roll them around in a ball with the wind, and wait until they reach a place with plenty of water. Re-root to survive.

This is a plant with strong vitality. As long as the environment is not particularly extreme, they generally will not die. As the wind blows, they will one day find a suitable environment for their growth and then send out new branches and new buds.

Li Du took a look at the tumbleweed and turned his eyes away. This kind of grass is common in the wasteland, so there is nothing surprising about it.

However, he soon knew how powerful this grass was.

Overcast and overcast, the car bumped and drove for another hour or so when the wind picked up.

The first thing affected by the wind is the tumbleweed, which dances wildly in the air with the wind and hits the car from time to time.

Of course, they are very light and will not cause any damage to the car.

But this will affect people's vision, and the tumbleweed has arc-shaped branches and many bristles on the surface. Once they touch together, they will stick to each other.

In this way, when the wind gets stronger and stronger, they are blown together, stick together, and then expand in size, from grass balls with a diameter of less than one meter to ones with a height of five or six meters or even ten meters. Huge monster!

Seeing these monsters appear, Li Du gasped: "Made, why are there so many of these things?"

Woody became anxious, and said: "It's unlucky, we have entered the tumbleweed enrichment zone, let everyone know, stop quickly and prepare to take shelter from the wind..."

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, not only blowing these tumbleweeds flying around, but also blowing up the gravel and ice mud on the ground.

Tumbleweeds are gentle and non-destructive, but gravel and ice mud blocks are different!

'Crackling', gravel and ice mud slapped the window like a gong and a drum, and a large tumbleweed blew towards the front of the car. The old driver did not dare to slam the steering wheel. The ground was too slippery and the wind was strong, and slamming the steering wheel might overturn the car.

No way, the tumbleweed finally hit the front of the car, or the car got into it all at once.

Now that the people in the car had no vision, Li Du quickly took the walkie-talkie and said, "We're in trouble, old fellows, how's the situation there?"

Steve's voice sounded intermittently: "The situation is not good, Chi Chi, our car is stuck in a mud hole, Chi Chi, Chi Chi..."

The sound is gone.

In the car behind, Brother Wolf said: "Boss, stop, we will catch up with Chichi immediately... Chichi, I can hear Chichi, we are Chichi..."

"Fake!" Li Du cursed.

The driver said: "You can't stop, you can't stop, brother wolf, you can't stop! Otherwise, the muddy water will be blown up by the wind and poured in from the exhaust pipe, and it will never start again!"

There was no sound on the walkie-talkie. Li Du checked the signal, and there was no signal.

Woody gritted his teeth and said, "We can't rely on others. We have to figure it out ourselves. The car keeps looking forward and drives slowly. I'll show you the terrain from the rear window."

The intercom sounded again, and it was Hankway who was speaking: "There is a temporary camp near here. Look for it, look for it separately, and take shelter from the wind when you find it. Don't be afraid, dry winds are very common in Siberia in spring. fine."

The situation on Li Du's side was the worst. The front of the car plunged into the tumbleweed pile, and the driver could only drive blindly.

He asked Woody, "Do you know this temporary camp?"

Woody hesitated and said: "I have a little impression, drive slowly, let's look for it."

The driver said coldly: "Now I think it will be too soon, guys."

The car drove slowly, and there was a gust of wind that Li Du had never encountered outside. Even when he encountered a tornado in Melbourne, he felt that the wind was not so strong.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the tumbleweeds on the front of the car were finally blown away. Just as the people in the car breathed a sigh of relief, the sky outside quickly darkened, and a sandstorm appeared!

Siberia in spring is very dry. The upper layer is gravel and ice mud, and the lower layer is dry soil.

When the debris and icy slush are blown away, the wind blows up layers of dry soil that eventually form dust storms.

"I'm really a dog!" Li Du said helplessly.

Ahh, they lay on the window and looked out. The bad weather frightened them to tighten their tails, and they were obedient one by one.

In the dark sand and dust, Woody tried his best to look around. Finally, with a joyful expression on his face, he pointed to the side and said: "Ten o'clock, ten o'clock direction, there is a temporary camp!"
