The sandstorm came much faster than expected. No matter how Zhou Benjie increased the speed of the car, the dark cloud-like black soil and sand behind the car chased him with an irresistible force like an army pressing down on the country.
"What's going on? Will there be a sandstorm in this area recently?" Zhou Benjie pulled the speed lever to the highest position, gritting his teeth while avoiding obstacles on the road.
Generally speaking, where the search team places the safe house, they will investigate the changes in the vicinity to ensure that at least during the mission, there will be no black soil sandstorm nearby.
"Drive northeast! I remember there is an abandoned air defense base over there!" Lu Chuan observed the "black cloud" getting closer and closer and made a decision immediately.
The vehicle was bumpy due to the speed, but a few people didn't feel much discomfort because they were used to it. Liz was shaken so hard that she became dizzy. She closed the folding fan, tilted her head slightly to the left, and leaned against the corner of the seat.
She turned pale, resisting nausea, closed her eyes, and slowly adjusted her breathing.
No, I haven't made a grand entrance yet to amaze everyone, am I going to be vomited in this little car?
Liz calmed her breathing and forced herself to calm down.
She began to recall the tragic failures she had experienced in her first 31 worlds. Some were excluded from the world's consciousness because the aboriginals discovered that they were behaving strangely. Some were ignorant and stupid and were directly stabbed. There were also some who happily admitted their mistakes. The protagonist’s…
Phew—compared to those dark histories that want to be sealed forever, this pain of motion sickness seems particularly relaxing.
She slowly opened her eyes and met the worried eyes of Zhang Leitao opposite her.
"Hmph." Liz opened the folding fan again, half-covering her face and fanning her in a small and fast motion. "If you put away that look in your eyes, I won't be so fragile."
Zhang Leitao was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say a few more words of concern, but when he was stared at by those golden eyes, he suddenly stopped thinking.
The aura that this girl occasionally exudes...is quite a bit like that of a superior person.
"After returning to the air defense base, Xiao Lie and Zhong Fu will come with me to clean up the sand monsters around. Leitao, you and Lao Zhou protect Lisi and take her in to hide." Lu Chuan pressed the smart phone on his wrist a few times. Huan sent a message to the Hongguang team who was still on the way:
[Sandstorm, route change, (location sent)]
At Zhou Benjie's driving speed, it took them only a few minutes to reach the air defense base. Lu Chuan, Lin Xilie and Zhong Fu, opened one side of the car door and jumped over.
Liz poked her head out of the car window, and a burst of fire lit up, which should be Lin Xilie's superpower. Then the fire became more and more intense, like a fire dragon driving away. She guessed that Lu Chuan used his wind power to increase the intensity of the fire.
She pulled her head back and saw that Zhang Leitao had put down the skirt he was holding and stretched out his right hand towards her.
Liz tilted her head, "?" He shouldn't want this princess to hold his hand and stage an unattractive scene of "a man holding a girl's hand and running away"...
Not to mention that the scene didn't quite meet her psychological expectations. Besides, she didn't want to let the soles of her feet suffer at this time.
She closed the folding fan and used the fan bone to move away Zhang Leitao's hand.
"Princess hug, do you understand?" Liz slightly raised her small chin towards Zhang Leitao, raising her long and graceful neck like an out-of-place swan.
Zhang Leitao didn't think what he was thinking. The current urgent situation did not allow him to think too much. He immediately picked up the person as requested and jumped out of the car door with a slight jump.
Liz let out a subtle "tsk", dissatisfied with the person's rough and substandard posture.
The person who was "tsk"ed, after landing and stabilizing his body, shouted loudly to Zhou Benjie who had already driven a short distance away, "Uncle Zhou, park the car and do the same as usual."
What responded to him was Zhou Benjie's left hand reaching out of the car window and waving.
Zhang Leitao didn't dare to relax for a moment. Although Lu Chuan and others had cleaned up a lot of the sand monsters gathered here in advance, some "little things" were still missed.
He held Liz with both hands, unable to move his hands to reach for the firearm at his waist, so he threw Liz into the air.
Amid Liz's exclamation, Zhang Leitao held a gun in both hands and fired three shots on each side. Six humanoid sand monsters fell to the ground. He inserted the short gun into the belt on his waist and opened his hands to catch Liz who was falling.
"..." Thank you for the invitation. It turns out you can still play like this. Liz was speechless and choked. She hung her hand firmly on Zhang Leitao's neck. Don't do it again. She's a little afraid of heights.
Zhang Leitao did not do it again. He ducked and hid behind a wall less than two meters away, then sat down with his back against the wall. At this time, he was only more than fifty meters away from the door to the underground air raid shelter. , there are two or three small sand monsters wandering in front of the door.
"Damn it! Why did the Army miss this guy?" He, who was always gentle and gentle, couldn't help but uttered the quintessence of Chinese culture. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he tried to cover himself and Liz as much as possible. At the same time, he took out his hand from He took out a can of earthy gray spray paint from his chest pocket.
"What is this?" Liz watched in horror as Zhang Leitao quickly sprayed the wall he was leaning on with this kind of spray paint. Because the distance was so close, it inevitably splashed onto his body.
"Isolation spray paint can shield the surrounding life breath to a certain extent."
Seeing that Zhang Leitao had no intention of spraying this kind of spray paint on people, Liz breathed a sigh of relief, but her nerves were still twitching because of the "scary" earth-grey color.
Not far away, a small black wolf-like body was lowering its head and sniffing something carefully. If you look carefully, you can see the black gravel constantly flowing from its body.
Obviously, it was a wolf-shaped creature reorganized from black soil and sand. No, it could only be regarded as a monster, but it still retained the habits of a wolf.
It sniffed for a while but found no trace of the rich breath of life it had smelled before, so it looked up to the sky and howled.
Zhang Leitao's face was tense, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No, it actually wants to call its own kind over."
Wolves usually live in packs of seven and have a strong sense of teamwork.
Zhang Leitao quickly clicked on the smart bracelet and dialed Lu Chuan's communication, but the call was not connected.
Realizing that Lu Chuan and others might still be fighting. He instead contacted Zhou Benjie.
The call was quickly connected, and it seemed that the vehicle had been parked in a safe location. Zhou Benjie was also on his way quickly, "What's going on? You've lost your signal ball?"
"I encountered a wolf-like sand monster here, and it seemed to be asking for help." Zhang Leitao quickly explained the situation, "We are near the wall 53 meters southwest of the gate, and I have sprayed it with isolation paint. It can cover up my breath for the time being, but it certainly won’t last long.”
"Fuck, I saw it. More than three wolf sand monsters ran towards you, not paying attention to me at all!"
"I can't contact the Army for the time being, so I have to prepare for the worst. My bullets haven't been replenished yet. I only carry about 25 rounds with me." Zhang Leitao is not an awakened person, although the S vaccine has improved his body. Quite a few, but they can only rely on bullets made of special materials to kill sand monsters.
He said in a deep voice, "If... you take Liz and go first." Regardless of whether Liz has anything to do with Dr. A's last words, he will always put her first.
"Don't act like you're saying your last words. It's bad luck. It's not like we haven't experienced bigger scenes before. I'll be there soon."
Seeing Zhang Leitao hang up the communication, Liz stretched out her hand and pointed at the wolf-like sand monster that seemed to smell something in the distance and turned its head in their direction.
"It noticed us."
