Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 133 Desert Escape
"Let's go! Leave me alone." Marvin threw the car keys over, and then ran staggeringly into the distance, followed by the swarm of bugs under him.

The sudden change caught me off guard.I wanted to catch up, but Ma Wen sternly stopped me and said, "Leave me alone, let's go, remember, go to the prison to see my brother, ah"

I don't know if that counts as his last words.Long and short, I have been in contact with him for several days, but I still don't know this person well.

If you really want to know about his past deeds, I'm afraid you can only find out through his brother's mouth, because the poisonous insects crawling out of the cracks in the ground have already engulfed his body.

"Thirteen, get in the car quickly, there are a lot of bugs here!"

I looked at the ground where I had just escaped. I don't know when the giant's fingers came out from below. Judging from the fingers, the giant was dead.But in the crevices between his fingernails, poisonous insects are pouring out "squeaky".

Heck, it's not easy to be dead.

After getting into the car, I handed over the car keys to Jiang Shan. I can drive a little bit, but I won't show off my driving skills unless it is absolutely necessary.

After a roar, the car started.My attention was all on the swarm of poisonous insects outside the car.

There were three people in our car, two of whom were brought in by others, and one who traveled through time. As for how to get out, no one had any idea.

"Jiang Shan, don't worry about anything else, escape from the swarm is the key!"

She said "yes", then quickly refueled, changed gears, and drove out of this ravaged "ghost country".I thought to myself that I would never come here again.

In fact, we were much luckier to have survived such a big sandstorm.

Seeing the poisonous worms who were still chasing after him, their speed was several times faster than before, I felt a little uneasy, and asked anxiously: "Shanshan, can we go faster?"

"This is already the fastest. Now we are still on the Gobi Desert. After a while, we will enter the desert, and I am afraid it will be even slower!"

Looking from the window at the rear of the car, at this speed, it won't take long for the poisonous insects to catch up. Now we can only think of other ways to slow them down.

Seeing the oil barrel at his feet, he quickly picked it up, intending to light a prairie fire.Anyway, we can't find the right direction now, and the oil probably isn't enough, so let's deal with these bugs first.

Twist the handle on the rear window, push it away hard, then pour the oil into the rear rut without leaving a drop, and then tell Jiang Shan to step on the brakes so that I can light the oil.

I used three fire talismans but could not ignite the oil. Looking at the poisonous insects getting closer and closer, I almost collapsed.

Jiang Shan stepped on the brakes, and then said to me: "This is diesel. If it is difficult to burn in the wind, use a lighter." After saying that, Xia Juanjuan took out a Zippo from the passenger glove box and handed it to me.

Looking at the shell of the lighter in his hand, it should be a valuable thing, and it would be a pity to throw it away.

"boom."

There was a sea of ​​flames behind the car, and it burned along the poisonous insects. When Jiang Shan saw the flames, she kicked the accelerator and rushed out, almost flashing me out of the car. I was still in shock and immediately reached out and closed the car window.

At the same time, Xia Juanjuan tried to contact the outside world using a wireless phone, but when she held the phone in her hand, she was stunned.After sighing, he put the phone back.

I know that she should be thinking about the "Mysterious Power Research Institute" that was blown up by the Soul Sect.

I didn't know how to comfort her, so I reached out and touched her head twice, and said in my mouth: "Don't think about it, it has already happened, and there is nothing we can do about it."

I have known Xia Juanjuan for so long, and the last time I saw her crying, she was still talking about how she was dragging us down.But this time, she said nothing.

After more than ten minutes, she said slowly: "It's all my fault. If I had been more cautious, I wouldn't have reached this point. It's me, it's all me."

Jiang Shan also shook her head helplessly, without saying a word.Girls should be better at comforting such a difficult job.I asked Jiang Shan to stop and let me drive.When we got out of the car and met, I told her to comfort Xia Juanjuan.

It was getting dark, and the sandstorm was gradually strengthening. With the headlights alone, it was impossible to see the situation in the distance clearly.

And when driving in the desert, you must drive fast.There is an old saying: go slowly on water, go fast on sand.This is known to experienced drivers.

Under the moonlight, I, who had never driven a car before, was driving a powerful four-wheel-drive Hummer galloping across the vast desert.After struggling for a while, I finally got control of the steering wheel.

I asked Xia Juanjuan to sit in the back as well, saying that I was thinking about her safety, but the main thing was to let him relax and find a way to contact the outside world.Driving so aimlessly, I don't know when I will be able to get out of this big desert.

Driving is actually really boring.After the initial stimulation, all that remains is to stare at the distance without hope, and unconsciously feel sleepy.

"Hey, you won't fall asleep!" Jiang Shan's words made me open my eyes immediately.

"It's okay, I didn't sleep."

Jiang Shan sighed and said to me: "Come on, you, find a flat place, turn off the car, and everyone have a good rest. We won't be able to get out for a while, so it's better to take care of yourself." physical strength."

If it were Master Shan, what he said made sense.Hastily found an open and flat Gobi, stopped.After closing the key door, I fell asleep without even eating.

I don't know how long it took before I was woken up by the noise from the glass. When I opened my eyes, there was already a sandstorm blowing outside.It has been ten days since I came here, and this nasty weather seems to be happening every day.

Jiang Shan and Xia Juanjuan also woke up. Looking at Jiang Shan's pale face with two dark circles, she must have not had a good rest.I hurriedly asked Xia Juanjuan to see how her gunshot wound was doing, but she still insisted that it was okay.

Opening the wrapped gauze, I found that the wound had already started to ooze pus, the swelling was high, and the skin was still red. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be infected.

"You've got an infection, are you alright? Juanjuan, do you still have any antibiotics in your bag?" After I finished speaking, she began to rummage, and took out the needle to give her an injection.

After dealing with these, everyone ate a few bites, and I started the car, ready to continue to escape.

Xia Juanjuan seemed to have thought about it. She was looking for the phone in her notebook. Before she had gone far, the phone rang first.When they answered the phone, I also stopped the car smoothly.

"Hey?"

"Is it Xia Juanjuan? I'm your Grandpa Liu."

The voice of the phone was very loud, and I heard it very clearly from the front. I wonder if Liu Jianguo can help us out.

"Really? Both Ma Wen and Lao Xiang died?" The voice on the phone couldn't believe it.

Xia Juanjuan hurriedly continued: "Yes, you can find a way to help us locate our current location first, I'm afraid the phone will run out of power in a while."

The other end agreed, and then there was no sound.After waiting for a long time, I got a reply. Liu Jianguo said that according to our current location, going south is MY County, and we can drive from MY County to Hotan Airport.

Even so, I'm not sure if there is enough fuel in the tank.

Hang up the phone and discuss this matter with everyone.Although the straight-line distance is only a few hundred kilometers, the road in the middle is not smooth, with ups and downs.In addition, sandstorms obstruct the line of sight, and it is inevitable that some fuel will be wasted.

"Go wherever you can, at least, now we know where we are."

It's not that what Jiang Shan said makes sense, but that's all we can do.

No matter how you say it, driving is faster than riding a camel. Thinking about the last time I was entrapped by a camel, I felt a little bit against this animal in my heart.However, in the face of threats from nature, whether we should compromise or not is a question I have been struggling with.

When it gets dark, the sandstorm has gradually become smaller. I don’t know if it has sailed out of the wind circle, or if it really intends to let us go.

Jiang Shan quickly ate something to replenish her strength, then asked me to stop the car and let her drive.

I sat in the passenger seat and couldn't fall asleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered Marvin's painful screams in front of me.I'm really glad I didn't do anything stupid, otherwise I would have to travel westward.

Jiang Shan said, let the dead go, and you have to think about the living.

In this way, Jiang Shan and I switched to driving. On the second afternoon, when the sun was about to set, the car finally ran out of the last drop of fuel, made two "chucks" and turned off.

According to Xia Juanjuan's estimated distance, we have to walk more than ten kilometers before we can get out of the desert.

In fact, right now, we can almost see the edge, and there seem to be some flickering lights.Regardless of whether it is a mirage or not, at least there is hope in my heart.

The wind stopped at noon.In order to ensure the smoothness of the next journey, I still suggest that everyone set up a tent and take a rest first. If you hike at night, you may encounter wolves that come out to look for food.

With fire, there is hope and a sense of security.

The three of them sat around the campfire, recalling what happened before.From Changbai Mountain to Taklamakan, two places thousands of miles apart, have all been touched by this hateful Soul Sect.

Both times, they successfully summoned monsters, but why did they do this?Could it be that just to get rid of us, is it a bit of a fuss?
Jiang Shan asked me at this time: "Do you remember how many cars were parked outside at the beginning?"

"It seems to be five cars. Two cars were damaged by me. Except for this car, there are only two other cars that can be used." I pointed to the Hummer parked in the distance.

Xia Juanjuan widened her eyes when she heard my answer and said, "But when I came out, I counted them carefully, and there were four cars!"

"That's right, if I remember correctly, there were also five cars. When I came out, it seemed that I only saw four cars. Didn't you notice that there was a box missing from the diesel oil we collected?"

Jiang Shan's words reminded me.I felt like something was wrong. I clearly remembered that I was confident that I would definitely be able to drive it. How could I be in a predicament because of lack of fuel?
"In this case, there must be someone among them who is still alive, or we have never discovered his existence at all." Xia Juanjuan said.

Goosebumps suddenly appeared on my body, and the queen mother was terrified. If the cold-blooded woman tricked us behind my back, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Shan didn't worry too much, she opened her mouth and said, "Since the other party didn't plot against us, it means that we are safe now. Let's take turns guarding, I will start first, then Juanjuan. Thirteen, you drove for a day , just sleep well."

After hearing what she said, I stood up, kissed her on the forehead, walked into the tent and fell asleep.
